Who is the Tenth Man? The Tenth Man is the one man and ten in your community who needs or will need some form of psychiatric treatment during his lifetime. Yes, one out of every ten of us will suffer from some form of emotional disorder. Can this suffering be prevented? Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ralph Bellamy. Our story is called Which World for Susan? It concerns a girl who daydreams.  We don't want you to think that you need a psychiatrist just because you daydream once in a while, but sometimes these things get out of hand in boys and girls as well as in grown-ups. My mom and pop aren't always the first to notice it. Who was that on the telephone, Annie? Don't worry about it, George. I'm not worrying about it. I just want to know who it was. It was just somebody for Susan. I don't hear her talking. I didn't want to disturb her. She's upstairs studying. Was it a boy, Annie? Yes, I guess it was. Oh, really? George, all this fuss. Did he want to take her out alone with him or was it a group party? I believe he said there was some sort of party over at the Fletcher's. I don't remember the details. Will you tell Susan about it? Well, I don't know that I will, George. After all, what she doesn't know won't hurt her. I hope you know what you're doing, Annie. Of course I do. You know as well as I do that Susan is far too young to go out with boys. She's 15, just the age when she ought to be getting interested in them. She's far too young. Just the same. We oughtn't keep her too sheltered. That's no good either, you know. There's no such thing as sheltering a girl too much these days. Why, only last week. You remember that case in the paper. It certainly shows that merely coming from a good family doesn't protect a girl from getting into bad company. Oh, come now. That's not likely in Susan's case, is it? Well, nevertheless, it's our duty as parents to guide her. Besides, I want Susan to amount to something. She's a brilliant student. She's also a brilliant pain in the neck. What? George Clayton, what did you say? Annie, sometimes that girl acts as if I'm not around. I spoke to her three times this morning at breakfast and she paid no attention to me. Well, she was probably thinking. Well, it's not normal for a 15-year-old girl to think so much. Susan undoubtedly gets her brains from my side of the family. Well, maybe she does get her brains from you, but she certainly doesn't get that iceberg personality from me. Everybody, be prepared for another quiz on Friday. Oh, Susan Clayton, would you step up to the desk for a moment, please? Yes, Mrs. Bennet. Susan, I wanted to tell you that you did very well on last week's quiz. Yes, Mrs. Bennet. I was rather surprised that you did so well since you obviously paid so little attention in class. Why, Mrs. Bennet, do you think I cheated? No, I didn't say that, did I? From the way the test was set up, I know you couldn't have cheated. But you certainly are very familiar with Shakespeare. Well, I read a lot. I don't see how you find the time. A girl as pretty as you must have lots of boyfriends. Well, I don't care much about boys. They bore me. Oh? Susan, you don't belong to any clubs here at school, do you? No, I don't. My mother doesn't like me too. I mean, those clubs are so silly. All they do is talk, talk, talk. You know, the dramatic club is holding a contest for the leading role in Alice in Wonderland. Have you thought of trying out for it? You'd be perfect for the part with your long blonde hair. No, I don't think so. Anyway, I don't care about infantile things like that. I see. I have to go to trigonometry now, Mrs. Bennett. Was there anything else you wanted to see me about? No, that's all, Susan. One lump or two, Mrs. Bennett. Oh, one, please. A milk or lemon? Milk, please. Thank you, Mrs. Clayton. Tea is just what I need after a day like this. Teaching must be a trying profession sometimes, especially with adolescents. That's a very difficult age. Yes, it's a very difficult age. Mr. Clayton and I are so lucky with Susan. She never gives us any trouble at all. Yes, she's a very bright girl. Of course, sometimes I wish that she had a little more personality. You know, Susan's always so reserved. But I suppose she'll grow out of that. Yes, I suppose so. But Mrs. Clayton, don't you think that now is as good a time as any to develop Susan's personality? Well, yes. But what do you mean? Well, I was referring specifically to her relations with her classmates. I don't know whether you know it or not, but Susan seems to have no interest at all in girls and boys of her own age. Well, that's not so difficult to understand, is it? She's so far above them mentally. But so far behind them socially. Well... I mean, Susan is intelligent and studies hard, but, well, she doesn't pay much attention in class. She seems to be daydreaming. Yes, almost as if she were in another world. Does she do it at home? Have you ever noticed it? Why, yeah... No. She's thinking when she's like that. Oh, maybe. Anyway, she reminded me of another girl. Someone I knew a long time ago. She was very much like Susan. Not as pretty, but everyone thought her pretty smart. She was unpopular, though. Well, Susan is popular, all right. Well, only last week she was invited to a party. Of course, I didn't let her go because there was that test coming up. Well, this girl was unpopular. You see, her parents wanted her to get a scholarship for college and they wouldn't let her fritter away her time at parties. Probably just as well. Kept her from bad companions. Oh, it kept her from all companions, good or bad. So she withdrew more and more into herself and built a world of her own of daydreams. One day her parents discovered that it had gotten so that she couldn't tell the difference between the world of reality and her world of fantasy. You mean she was... Yes, she was sick. Her mind was sick. But that's fantastic. It must have been in the family. A bad blood or something. No, no, it wasn't. They had quite good blood, Mrs. Clayton, even by your high standards. But her family had a lot to do with her illness. Well, what happened to her, that girl? They took her to a mental hospital. She got a little better, then had a relapse. They gave her insulin shock treatments. All in all, she spent about three years in the hospital. Three years? And now? Now she's married and doing well and never even thinks about those bad days behind her. Very sad case. But what is it to do with Susan? Surely you don't think that Susan... and this other girl are very much alike. That's why I came to see you. Well, that's absurd. And what's more, I don't think you have any right to interfere. Well, perhaps you're right, but... well, she is one of my pupils. And I thought that if you and I could bring her out of her shell, she might be so unhappy. Now there must be something that we can do. Get her to join clubs. I think not, Mrs. Bennet. There's nothing whatever the matter with Susan. I wish I could make you understand. I mean, my interest in Susan... You see... We're very grateful for your interest in our daughter, Mrs. Bennet. Oh, then why won't you listen to me? Really, Mrs. Bennet? Do you think I take this much of an interest in any other pupils? Perhaps I should, but I'm afraid I haven't time. I have a husband, Mrs. Clayton, and a little boy. And both of them need a lot of attention. I'm afraid I don't understand. Well, the point I'm making is this. I wouldn't have... I wouldn't have this interest in Susan in her. Something that I'm very familiar with. Well, what do you mean? Mrs. Clayton, I was that girl that I told you about. The girl who took refuge in a dream world because she'd been denied a real world. Now, don't let Susan become like her. Please, I beg you. I assure you that nothing like that could possibly happen to my daughter. She's far too level-headed. Then you won't... Very well. I'd better be going now, Mrs. Clayton. Was very good of you to drop in. I... I'm sorry. There's no need to apologize. I understand. I wasn't going to apologize. I was going to say that I'm sorry you won't take my advice. Goodbye, Mrs. Bennett. Goodbye. Susan? I know you're up there. Why didn't you answer me? Oh, hello, mother. I guess I didn't hear you. I was studying. You would study. And you weren't looking at anything. You were staring into space. You were daydreaming. I guess I was daydreaming. Why not? Is there anything wrong with daydreaming? Oh, my dear. I want you to have more than dreams. When Mrs. Clayton found Susan daydreaming, she suddenly remembered all the other occasions when she'd seen Susan like that, often another world, because she wasn't allowed to have a place in this one. So Mrs. Clayton changed her attitude about parties and encouraged Susan to go to them. At first, Susan didn't want to go, but Mrs. Clayton and Mrs. Bennett put their heads together and tactfully enlisted the aid of some of Susan's classmates who included her in some of the school's social activities. In time, Susan began to respond. And several months later, she was a very different girl. Hello. Oh, hello, Dick. Yes, she is. Just a minute. Susan. Yes, Mother? Telephone for you, dear. I never thought I'd live to see the day, Annie. You've certainly done a great job. On Susan? Do you mean George? No. On yourself, Annie. Now, come into the living room and don't eavesdrop. It's Dick Fletcher, Susan, and for heaven's sake, don't talk on that phone all evening. Oh, hi, Dick. What's up? Huh? Gosh, it sounds swell, but I don't think I can. No, I've got to memorize my lines for the class play. Have you forgotten? I'm going to play Alice. What? You want to come over and help me learn my lines? Yes, I guess you can if you want to. Will you hear the poem I have to learn? It was brilliant. And the slithy toves did gear and gimbal in the waves. All men's-y were the burrow groves. And the mom-rafts out-grade. What do you mean, corny? You have just heard Which World for Susan. Produced by the National Mental Health Foundation and presented through the cooperation of other organizations interested in the preservation of mental health. Ralph Bellamy was heard as narrator.

The IRA or Norcocon for Yoruba and Guinea-Adams has dismissed as untrue reports that members of the Odua People's Congress were involved in the crisis that erupted in the Georgia area of Lagos today. In a statement by his special assistant to media, K-India-Diremi, Adam said the Georgia rally came as a surprise, a thing that none of these members were part of the crisis. Now, Adam said the OPC is not against the liberation of the Yoruba race, however it is a fact that the struggle for liberation of the race is an inalienable right of the Yoruba people to champion self-determination.


and uncertain quantities. The fewer constraints, the better. And in reality, there are different degrees of openness between the two extremes that I have sketched out. Likely, likewise, there is diversity of technical specifications related to interoperability. And that range from those embodying formal standards through the free public specifications and up to the priority information. To cover all those aspects, I have proposed five key actions in the digital agenda for you. Number one, have more and better standards recognized and created in Europe. Number two, to make better use of those standards. And third, to improve interoperability in the absence of standards. How to recognize and create more better standards in Europe? First, we badly need to reform how ICT standards are dealt with in Europe. High and biased. Both internal commission reflection and a wide public consultation have shown that the European standardization framework is out of thing with fast-moving technology markets. And in that context, I'm cooperating with my colleague, Vice President Tanjani, very closely. And by the end of the year, the commission will make the necessary proposals for the reform of the European standardization system. And in particular, some key reforms will be of special relevance to the ICT sector. So wait and see, we are aware that you are in a hurry. We are in a hurry. We are aware that we have to act and we have to deliver. The standards that power the digital world are made by the economic actors. And in Europe, only Etsy allows those actors to directly participate in the making of standards. One negative result is that the standards underpinning the emerging universal communication platform, the internet and the worldwide web, including standards for content formats are made elsewhere. And that puts those standards, many of which are truly open, that's to say, they do not come with any constraints for implementers, at a disadvantage vis-à-vis European standards when in legislation or public procurement. Just an example, but that's quite dear for you. I think we would have been spared some unnecessary fights over the use of document file formers by public bodies in the last few years, if there had been a European document form and standard already available. Clear?


Nowhere in the scripture do we see a promise that every believer will live a perfectly ideal life and accomplish all of their dreams and become a success by worldly standards. That's just the perversion of the gospel. I do believe in biblical prosperity. I do believe that God does bless his children, but to take those blessings and make them the center of the gospel message, to take increase and make it the center of the gospel message or the primary attraction of the gospel message. That's not the promise of the gospel. The promise of the gospel is salvation through Christ Jesus to those who put their faith in his finished work on that cross. And to put health, wealth and happiness at the center is to pervert the gospel and fall into the trap of the prosperity gospel.

Patriot Prime here once again with another toyhacks.com sponsored review. But before I get started, I need you guys to do me a favor.

It won't cost you a thing, but will help me and my channel out tremendously. And help me reach my goal of 10,000 subscribers by TFCon in October. Now, on to the decals. And the set we're looking at in this video is for Transformers Studio Series 86 Scourge. And this decal set includes one decal sheet on foil backing. So now, without further ado, let's take a look at Scourge both before and after toyhacks decals. And welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews. In robot mode, straight out of the packaging, Scourge looks great. He looks like he stepped right out of the 1986 movie. He's got fantastic sculpted details and pretty fair use of paint applications. Taking a closer look at the face sculpt, we've got red eyes. The painted in goatee, little red dot right there on his head cannon. There's a gray stripe around. Down here on the abs is painted gray, the same with the arms. He also has those pink fingertips that he's known for. And that's pretty much it for the paint applications. So I'm really looking forward to seeing what toyhacks can do to this guy. So here's one final look at Scourge in robot mode before and after. Scourge's bot mode gets a lot of great G1 toy throwbacks with this new decal set. Now the first decals you're probably noticing are the new wing decals. They're on either side. You've got red, blue, and the light gray coloring. There's also new decals up here on the upper tips. Right here on the chest, he gets a new silver decal, which is a great homage to the original toy because it also had a silver decal. Now there is options. You can pick this blue decal with a Decepticon logo, but I decided to go with the silver because not only does it represent the G1 toy, it helps break up all the blue. There's also new red decals there on either side of the chest and a new Decepticon logo there. Moving on down to the waist, he gets a new yellow and blue belt buckle and blue and red decals there on either side. Around the wrist, there is a wraparound blue decal. Moving on down to the legs, you've got silver decals along the shins, which are also a throwback to the G1 toy, and little blue highlights there on the feet. Now let's compare Studio Series 86 Scorch with his Generation 1 counterpart. So you can see the throwbacks that Toyhacks gave this set. You've got the silver chest right there that matches up with G1, the yellow there on the belt buckle, and the silver shins. And there you have Scorch in bot mode after. In vehicle mode, straight out of the package, there's really not much to Scorch at all. There's a lot of great molded details, but really only a couple of paint applications. You've got the Decepticon logo right here and a little red dot right there. Other than that, he's just blue and light gray. So that's pretty much it. So there you have one final look at Scorch in vehicle mode before and after. There's quite a few new decals to help enhance his vehicle mode thanks to Toyhacks. The first one you're probably noticing is the new blue decals right here along the front. There's also red decals on either side here and a brand new larger Decepticon logo that covers up those unsightly holes that was on the figure prior to decals. There's also new decals here and here and a new decal right there. Now there are options for here in the center. You can go with this grid which is more G1 or you also have a couple different options of sweep faces. So if you are Army building a Scorch Armada, you have some options there. There's also new decals right there in here that kind of add some blue highlights. There are new red decals on the tips of the two side weapons before there was only a red tip there. Now all three have them just like the G1 toy. Right here along the side is some silver decals which is also reminiscent of the Generation 1 toy. Back of the vehicle you have a new decal here with some red triangles and some more blue highlight decals. Now let's compare the Studio Series 86 Scorch with his Generation 1 counterpart. You can see there's a lot of G1 love into this decal set. You've got the little grid decal right there on either side, the large Decepticon logo, the blue stripes and those little silver decals on the side. So there you have Studio Series 86 Scorch in vehicle mode after. Toyhacks once again greatly improves an already fantastic figure. I absolutely love all the Generation 1 throwbacks that they gave Studio Series 86 Scorch. It really adds to the bot and especially the vehicle modes that were, to be honest, a little plain. Plus I do like all the different options you have when applying the decals to kind of make Scorch look how you want him to look. That being said, if you plan on Army Building Scorch, you have the option to use these other faces because Toyhacks has a sale on this decal set. If you buy three, you only pay for two, so make sure and check that out on toyhacks.com.

The key is, like this is where we talk about a potential overextension cycle, the key is now not to look at the stock. Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the Access a Trader.com netly wrap up show. Hope everybody is doing okay. So let's talk about the day. NASDAQ, IWM and the SPY reclaimed big levels on Friday, the 50 day moving average we talked about this on the weekend update. And the question was, well, what was going to happen next? Can we build the bonnet? Obviously, the last thing the bulls did not want to do after reclaiming it and doing a great job of reclaiming it is giving it back. And that's the key. The most important part of any single rally is not only building on it, but don't give it back. That's a very kind of important deal here. And the most important part is when we start talking about building, right? The longer we can stay above 306.5, 307 on the cues, the higher probability, again, we're going to be building a base here just the same way we built the base below the 50 day. And again, to the bulls credit, it only lasted for two weeks versus the last time it lasted for five and a half months. So it's very, very important and necessary that the bulls, no matter what happens, right? Like tomorrow, for example, we have a CPI coming out, a lot of yada, yada, yada, a lot of data, a lot of stuff, a lot of smart people talk, right? A lot of grown up talk, I have no idea what any of that means. But I think the point is not only are we going to build on it, build on it an organic way. And this is kind of when we talk about the flip side of what happens when the market loses the 50 day moving average, it's not going to go straight down. Okay, so when we reclaim the 50 day moving average, we're not going to go straight up. And if you look at the last one, two, three, four, five days in a row, right? The cues are up five days in a row. And we're right about the next supply zone around that 1112 area on the NASAC 100. Considering we reclaimed that 306 and a half, 307 level on Friday, this is a nice little move here. I think for the market to be structural, I think that's the best way of saying it being structural and being organic, I think in the next day or two, the market needs a little bit of a rest, right? Nobody again, I'm not talking about the market going down, I'm not talking about this, we're going to revisit the lows, all we're talking about a nice healthy rest, because the last thing we want to do, and again, we kind of talk about this from the time to time, we don't want to get to that point that we're up seven days in a row, or six days in a row. And now the biggest, most active, aggressive bulls are talking about, well, it's up too much too fast. Let me let me start peeling back. And that's not what we want to see here. So instead, it would be very beneficiary for the market, for the next day or so, maybe go sideways, maybe come back even and test back this 307 level that we reclaimed a couple of days ago, because what we don't want to see is we don't want to see a gap tomorrow into this 312, 313 level, get stuffed and then turn around and then we're forced to naturally back test this area going back to the 307 level. And again, keep this in mind, the market doesn't care, if you're along the market at 313 and it back test the 307 where we reclaimed, it doesn't care that you're long at higher prices, or your pain tolerance, or your account size, or anything else in between, the market's not there again to pacify your ego, it's strictly there to facilitate buyers and sellers at different intervals. So it's really very, very important. Look, is it possible the market needs an excuse tomorrow for the CPI to kind of come back a little bit? Yeah, okay, okay, I'll buy that, right? You know, I'll buy that, but again, the key is, this is where we talk about a potential overextension cycle, the key is now not to look at the stocks that are up seven, eight days in a row. For example, we talked about snow, finally came out of a channel today again, right? Snow is great, it's a runaway train, and if the market's good, does it continue to go to 202, 203, hell, even 205, which is the August 26 highs, absolutely. But the point is the value was a couple of days ago here, we even talked about this last night, in last night's video, we'll get to the pivot to the second, the value is coming in above this channel here, right? The airspace that we talked about, the Barry Sanders effect. So yeah, it has room to 205, but it doesn't necessarily have to get there in one print. A name for example, name for example, like Tesla, right? Same thing, kind of the same conversation we had yesterday, right? It finally got above this airspace. But now, I mean, look at this thing, Tesla is up one, two, three, four, five days in a row, you're talking about from 265 to 305 in five sessions, right? Doesn't it need a health, I think even the most aggressive bull could turn around and say, yeah, we probably need to take a deep breath, not to get a little bit ahead of ourselves.  This is what we call about buying stocks potentially, not necessarily the 10th floor, but like the 6, 7, 8th floor as well. Look, is it possible Tesla reclaims this whole channel tomorrow and gives you one more day? Sure, absolutely, why not? Again, but the point is, from a structural point of view, if it was up to me, the value of everything to tomorrow would be a washout, right? It would be a washout trap and then rent the green. At least you're buying levels on where it came from into rising support. And yesterday, we talked about stocks potentially coming out of channels, right? The stocks that needed maybe another day or so to get that airspace. And this is how you know the market's very, really strong. We got that in a lot of selective names today. Apple just went out of its mind. You're talking about a 4% move on Apple literally took down one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine days. You're talking about over two, almost two weeks of selling in one candle here. And then, hey, if Apple confirms this channel here the next couple of days, why can't this thing extend as well? But at least it's coming out of a channel. Amazon, we spoke about in the weekend update as well, right? I said it needs probably one more day. Well, now it's above its channel as well, right? So those are the names we're looking for. And if these stocks rest, right? You're talking about the Teslas of the world, the Netflix of the world, if they have a res day and they have a little bit of a back test. If this isn't true indeed and has the characteristics of a good, strong bull market, then usually what happens in a bullish tape after it's building or stocks are resting, kind of what we call an inside day, then there's usually a rotation, right? So for example, this morning, a lot of the chip makers were weak, right? You had in the video was weak this morning, you had AMD was weak this morning. But the point is, if there is money flow temporarily, don't freak out, coming out of one day of maybe an Apple or maybe a Netflix or maybe a Ahmed or whatever the case may be, why can't there be a rotation back into chip names? If you guys remember a couple of days ago, they're the ones who let us hire. And if you look at AMD, for example, AMD had a monster, monster run. You guys remember that 81 level had a huge run from 81 took a rest, right? Here's another example too far too fast, one, two, three had an inside day. So why can't money flow go into AMD tomorrow if they start taking out the top of the channel here? Why can't the money flow go back into the video, right? I get it. I get it. And that video has a lot of headline issues with China and this that the other thing. But again, look how it's building here. And if it starts confirming up the 10 day moving average, look how good this thing looks, right? Look at this thing. Again, look how tight the 60 minute channels, it does again, remember, it doesn't necessarily have to confirm tomorrow. But at least if there is a possibility of a back test of stocks that made big moves into money flow into stocks that are resting one or two days, then the chip space makes all the sense in the world because well, they're the ones that rested today. Same thing with names, for example, like a Google, right? Like a Google had this nice little tight little run, maybe it's a day or two away from coming back into fruition. So I think if the market does want to kind of back test tomorrow, be careful of the big runs, right? Be careful of the names that had the big runs.  A name like Snow, again, it looks like it's going higher. But would it shock me if this thing took a little bit of a rest tomorrow? Right, wouldn't shock me. But it's up to look one, two, three, four, five days. Tomorrow will be day six after consolidation. Again, that's bullish of a run up. But hey, again, we need to breathe. So I definitely want to keep an eye on names like Apple tomorrow for a day two. Again, when you have a 4% rally, you have a 4% rally, they were coming for the 65, the 67 and a half weeklies with this type of volume. Look, I think at some point you have to assume the stock goes green tomorrow, right? Whether it's a trade or whatever the case may be. But again, preferably I would like to get this thing on a rising 60-minute support trap, go red to green, take out taste highs and really, really giddy up. But again, we take what the market gives us. Amazon has some really good aggressive short-term buyers as well here. Look how close this thing is. If this thing starts getting above this big channel here, then we're going to see 140, 142 on top of this tape here. So again, going into tomorrow's session, we're going to try to avoid the stocks that are 5, 6, 7, 8 days in a row. Try to go to the ones that are starting to come out of the channels that we talked about yesterday that finally came out of the channels today. And now they just need to confirm for tomorrow's session. So it's very, very important. So let's talk about the day.  Again, the same player as we talked about pretty much last night in the video, we're still the big movers for today. You had snow 189-20 meets the build. Here is snow. So it took out the 189-20, traded all the way pretty much to the high of the day of 195-30s. Again, like I said, this is, I mean, look for a foreseeable future of the market continues, maybe 202, 205, again, just a really, really strong stock. ZS was pretty good today.  Here it was ZS, putting an opening range high of 190, retraced and got right through that 190, traded all the way up to the 193s initially, came back a little bit and closed pretty much at the high of the day at 194. Again, one of the biggest, one of the biggest cool things, I think we talked about this from time to time. At any time, guys, just kind of a little bit, a little bit, tip it for newer traders. Anytime you see a stock come out with really big numbers, right, and have a really aggressive gap up, and I'll give you perfect two examples, right? So here's your earnings gap up on ZS, next day follow-through. You see snow as well, same thing with snow, right? Snow had the big move up on earnings, next day follow-through. That's usually one of the higher probability plays because there's so much, remember, there's so much momentum in an earnings play. So if the stock does put up a really good move, the next day, especially if it goes red to green, usually takes out the next day's channel. So you have some nice moves here on ZS, on snow. Tesla continued its move. They had a lot of series of pivots from last week. It got above the 300, got above the 304, traded right to that 305 and a half level. I think it's getting a little tight. That's my point. I think a name like Tesla, again, like I said, it might have one more day, maybe two more days, but man, we're getting up to like six, seven days in a row. We did see some late afternoon, you know, maybe there were hedges, whatever the case would be. We did see some late afternoon, 295 weeklies come in, maybe just a little bit of bets of some profit taking, but again, this is not the one you really want to start at going aggressively on strength.  In a perfect world, Tesla kind of rests in the next couple of days, and then it resumes towards end of the week. Jumia, nice looking chart for you, small cap lovers, 805 meets to build. Friday, they came for the $9.16, $9 calls. They came for some today. A nice little move initially went, took out the 805 with the 815. This is the highest close in this whole formation. If this thing starts to confirm, is it possible it gets into the 830s, 850s? Who knows? You know, maybe a one PR gets this thing higher as well. So I still like this thing for tomorrow.  I wasn't even watching it. PRTY 270, looks like it took out 270, went to 275 and didn't absolutely nothing. Again, small caps are such a hit and miss. Meta, right? Meta, initially it took out the previous channel, 169, 60, and 171 macro channels need to build. It took out 69, 70, took out 171, traded to 71, 40, and then it kind of stalled at the top of the range.  I didn't think it was going to go today. 135, like I wrote, I go 135 as daily supply. Any close opens up daylight, like we talked about last night in the video, settler for 135.  I just didn't have, I didn't have time and I kind of just said, let me leave it alone. I looked up and the stock is doing, you know, stock did well. It doesn't sound like it did well, but just keep this in mind. This is a 20 for one. So when you get a $3 move, this is the equivalent of Amazon going up 90 points for the day. And now it's setting up for macro. So I'll watch this thing for tomorrow, especially for the macro level above the range. So that's it. We got CPI coming in for tomorrow. Bulls did a great job Friday, reclaiming the 50 day today, building on the 50 day. Now let's see if the CPI is going to be some sort of catalyst for some short term data to see how the market reacts. But again, remember, the market doesn't need any excuse for a little bit of profit taking. So it wouldn't shock me at all if we saw some tomorrow. But again, like I said a couple of minutes ago, even if we do get a back test, I think there'll be a back test on the stock to have multiple day runs. But the names, for example, like a semiconductors are poised that if money flow goes back into them, they're still on the bottom of their channels that if they confirm, maybe it's their turn to dance. Guys, have a great night. God bless. And I will see you all tomorrow. Take care.


How much Bitcoin do you buy a week? Well, probably not as much as Twitter's CEO Jack Dorsey, who went on Tales of the Crypt podcast to talk all things Bitcoin. During the course of the interview, he hinted that he buys up to $10,000 worth of Bitcoin a week, slowly seeming to be converting his over $5 billion into crypto. Burad Garlinghouse was in a more fighting mood this week. He slammed the JPM coin following speculation that the major banks project could render ripple obsolete. Garlinghouse said that the JPM coin lacks interoperability just to use the dollar guys. He did, however, have one conciliatory remark. The Ripple CEO said that the very fact that a major bank was leaning into blockchaining crypto is a good sign. Nouriel Rubini, aka Dr. Doom, might never change his mind on crypto, but some previous FUDMeisters have repented. Niall Ferguson, historian and author of The Ascent of Money, has recently joined a stablecoin project and said that crypto won't turn out to be a complete delusion after all. Rubini only saw betrayal. So this week, the neutrino scandal continues. College campus' mined crypto, a backed Starbucks equity deal, and time to get bullish about Binance Coin. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Molly Jane, and this is your Weekly Hotellers Digest. Let's take a look at the markets this week. The coin-based neutrino scandal might be reaching a conclusion. This week, it was announced that former members of spyware firm Hacking Team will transition out of neutrino. However, their departure date has not been confirmed. Details of the acquisition were leaked on Wednesday. People documents reportedly revealing that Coinbase bought the firm for $13.5 million. The cost of the acquisition at this point goes beyond money. Brian Armstrong and his team are clearly backpedaling furiously after some pretty severe blowback from the crypto community. The hashtag delete Coinbase emerged in response to Coinbase working with former members of Hacking Team, which had reportedly helped repressive regimes monitor journalists and political activists. Armstrong issued an official statement expressing regret and a lack of due diligence. However, he maintained the neutrino was of critical importance to Coinbase, and yet there are still questions that have been left unanswered. This prompted crypto Twitter persona WhalePanda to post a link with a list of 10. Caught up in the Malia was blockchain analytics firm Elliptic, who provides tech to Coinbase. A Coinbase executive had defended the neutrino acquisition by saying that existing external tech providers were selling Coinbase's user data to third parties, a claim which Elliptic denies. The analysis, another blockchain analytics firm, took pram for measures. They published an official statement assuring their clients and the public that they do not partake in such activities. Worried about student debt? Concerned you will leave college penniless in destitute. Well, have no more fear. The answer is simple. It's mine crypto. According to a new study, students across the U.S. are doing just that. In fact, college campuses are the second largest crypto miners across industry verticals. The research was carried out by Umbrella, a security product for tech conglomerate Cisco. They monitor their client's network connections to screen malicious activity, which includes potentially nefarious crypto mining. University campuses are ranked second at 22%. The energy and utility sector is at number one at 34%. A Cisco threat researcher explained the trend and why it's so cost-effective for students. Mining difficulty for a lot of coins is very high right now, which means it costs more for electricity and internet than the profit you can produce from mining those coins. Because you don't have to pay for those costs, then you are in a really good spot for making money on the university's dime. Cyber attack monitoring firm Vectra discovered a similar trend. Intentional crypto mining and cryptojacking were more prevalent on college campuses than in any other industry. So far, universities have not really commented on the trend, and there have been no major crackdowns. However, with the need for more and more powerful hardware to turn a profit, it is hard to imagine many students are making a serious dent in their student loans, which is around $40,000 on average. The dream of buying coffee with Bitcoin has never been so close to materialization. According to unconfirmed reports, the previously announced backed digital assets platform, which includes Starbucks as one of its associated enterprises, actually completed an equity deal with the coffee giant. The anonymous source further notes that Starbucks will install backed software in its stores, thus allowing customers to potentially pay with Bitcoin, but not really. The crypto will be instantly converted into fiat, meaning that Starbucks is not truly accepting your Bitcoin for a frat. When the partnership with backed was announced last summer, Starbucks had toned down Hodler's enthusiasm, clarifying it will not accept Bitcoin directly, but that they will continue to talk with both customers and regulators as the crypto space evolves. Set to be launched by the operator of the New York stock exchange at some point or later this year, pending regulatory approval, of course, in a process that has already been elongated by the length of U.S. government shutdown, backed plans to initially offer physically delivered Bitcoin futures. Commenting on the partnership with backed, Vice President of Partnerships and Payments at Starbucks, Maria Smith, said, Starbucks will play a pivotal role in developing practical, trusted, and regulated applications for consumers to convert their digital assets into U.S. dollars for use at Starbucks. Binance coin has been among the best performing tokens of 2019. While most cryptocurrencies tend to follow the pattern of Bitcoin, crypto exchange Binance's native token has developed a pattern of its own, surging by over 140% since the beginning of the year against the backdrop of the bear market. The contrast was particularly evident to the beginning of the week when Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies lost around $5 billion while Binance coin surfed by 16%. According to many observers, Binance coin has been behaving like a stable coin, which pumps when the rest of the coins dump. This week, Binance coin became the seventh top cryptocurrency by market capitalization, leaving behind Tron, Stellar, and Tether. Many in the industry are congratulating Binance CEO CZ for the coin's outstanding performance. CEO Tron Justin Sun went as far as defining Binance coin as a new Bitcoin, while E-Toros Maddie Greensband said, Binance coin has been able to buck the crypto correlations principally because people buy it as a way of speculating on industry growth. If the market's moving, these people are trading and Binance is a big share of those volumes. We reached out to Yvonne on tech, asking him to comment on Binance coin's outstanding performance. So, number one, Binance is a corporation and they are pushing their currency very, very successfully and they are doing everything they can to increase the value of the Binance coin. And the latest development is, of course, their decks that they're building. And they've been very open with the fact that it's not truly that decentralized, but it's all about the fact that user has control over the keys. And now that we have the Binance chain and everything else coming out, they just want to push adoption and want to push user base to grow and make it even bigger. So, I think they have made a lot of efforts and it is harder to do when you have a project such as Bitcoin or Ethereum where the community is more decentralized and there are many different interests and the decision process is slow while Binance can really take decision quickly. They can push their coin with new innovations, new technologies. And I think it is one of the biggest reasons why we see Binance coin performing so well today. And everyone is aware in the industry that Binance coin is backed by Binance. It depends on Binance and Binance really needs to be successful for Binance coin to be successful. So, until now they have been that and until now the performance of the coin reflects their successes. So, when it comes to short and middle term, who knows? I mean, we're in crypto volumes are so low compared to traditional markets. Anything can happen in the short term. It can dump, it can pump. Who cares about short term or middle term? It's all about the long term. Can Binance sustain itself long term? And this is the question I think we need to be asking. Looking at their technology right now, I think they have a very good chance. And as I told in the previous question, they're not that focused on decentralization per se. They just want adoption, they want users. At the same time, they see decentralized exchanges getting more and more popular and getting more and more advanced and developed. So, therefore they're creating their own decks where users control their own key and also launching their own blockchain. So, I think long term they have all of the possibilities and all of the chances to really be successful. And when Binance is successful, Binance Coin is also successful because they have been really trying to get so many use cases for Binance Coin as possible. And this is different from many other ICOs and many other projects. Many other ICOs had some kind of token. They offered something, but then you realize they don't even use it themselves. They're not even pushing it themselves. They start accepting other payments method. They try, they start doing a lot of other things that basically make their coin useless while Binance have really been pushing their coin and I think it is a good thing for their investors. Now, long term, I think it's looking bright right now. I think when you look at the cryptocurrency market as a whole, there is a clear pattern to the entire market. I mean, we are in the bear market. And so most cryptocurrencies go down, including Bitcoin, if you look at the longer term. But then, of course, some coins have short term gains such as Binance right now. But all in all, long term, I think Bitcoin and Binance are just so different. So while they will probably share the sentiment of the market as a whole, that when everyone is negative on crypto, everyone is leaving the crypto space as we saw this year and last year when we have a bear market, well, probably they will both lose value. But at the same time, I also see that they're so different. You cannot compare Bitcoin and Binance coin. Binance is all about the Binance as a company. So maybe we should value Binance coin more as a share in Binance company. It is not a security. It's not classified as a security, but the value in my view depends so much on Binance. And so for me, it is rational that in the future, they will not be as similar as they are today when it comes to markets moving because they're so different. And the value of Binance coin really, really depends on the Binance company. And they have been doing very well up until now and we're going to follow it into the future. Crypto lending startup BlockFi is launching a deposit account for Bitcoin and Ethereum. The BlockFi interest account will offer customers a 6% annual interest rate issued monthly, which will be compounded, thus resulting in a 6.2% annual yield. This is a much higher percentage than what the majority of traditional banks offer to their clients. The interest paid to crypto holders come from the interest the company receives by offering loans to institutions. Director of marketing of BlockFi, Brad Michelson, reportedly said that the new product will help crypto investors grow their wealth with one of the most powerful tools in finance, compound interest. According to the announcement, account holding will be custodied in Gemini Trust Company, which is regulated by the New York Department of Financial Services. Last year, BlockFi attracted investments from big crypto players like Mike Novogratz's Galaxy Digital and Anthony Pampliano's Morgan Creek Capital. Pampliano did not hold back in his enthusiasm in praising the new deposit fund. However, BlockFi's announcement sparked a fair amount of criticism on social media with many concerned of possible risks behind lending money to BlockFi. Some pointed out the lucrative interest rates offered by BlockFi are directly correlated with the risk of entrusting funds to the company. Also, if the account will be issuing interesting crypto, investors' money will still be affected by the market's high volatility. Reaction to the wave of criticism, Pampliano invited investors not to trust him and rather to do their own research about BlockFi. The concern is absolutely valid. Basically, BlockFi needs to do an effective job of managing that risk. And the first thing that you need to understand when you think about managing that risk is who the counterparties are. We're under pretty strict non-disclosure agreements in terms of saying specifically who we work with, but if you look at our last round of investment, it's firms like those, Fidelity, Suscahana, Akuna Capital, C&T Digital, Galaxy Digital, Morgan Creek, et cetera. As a general rule, there's a little bit of variance on this, but as a general rule, our margin call level is 110%. So if the Bitcoin price goes up by around 15%, then we hit the margin call price. Our system sends an instant notification to our borrowers and they have a certain period of time, usually hours, actually usually just one hour, to respond to that. If they don't respond to that, we will take some of the dollars that they've provided as collateral and use them to buy Bitcoin. One of the things that we're constantly monitoring and modeling is level of volatility over time. And if you're looking at those models, Bitcoin volatility has come down dramatically and it's trended downwards for a while now. So it's actually, these days, very rare to see a north of 15% move up in Bitcoin in a gap. 3%, 5%, 8% maybe, but 15, it hasn't happened in a while. We will never use funds that are in the interest account like equity capital. So one of two things is gonna happen. Either BlockFi goes bankrupt and returns everybody's money or we're very successful and this thing keeps working and it keeps scaling. So Jim and I, they're basically the security platform for private keys. They also provide liquidity in terms of their exchange when we need it for that risk management function I was talking about. The clients, since they're funds, BlockFi never touches the private keys. Jim and I manages the security and then when we lend them to one of those counterparties, we move the crypto off of Jim and I and send it via the blockchain to the counterparty who is posting the collateral back to BlockFi.

Think Tech Hawaii, Civil Engagement Lives Here. And we're back live. We are Young Talent's Making Way, all here on Think Tech Hawaii. I'm Andrea Gabriela. I'm your host. And every Tuesday we talk about things in science that matter to Hawaii with our brilliant school students and their science projects. And today we don't have just one Young Talent, but we have three of them making way with a project carried out to investigate the effects of sunscreen chemicals on coral reefs. It is my pleasure to introduce you to this marvelous team from Island Pacific Academy in Kapolei. Welcome to the show. Welcome. Welcome. So some introductions first. So we have here Audrey Ramps-Bottom. Is that right? Yeah. And you are... Hello. Hi. Hello. Nice to have you here. Welcome. At Island Pacific Academy. Yes. Welcome. Welcome. And then we have in the middle, we have Zahir Golko. Yes. Is that right? Yes. Nice to have you here, Zahir. Welcome. Thanks for having me. And then finally, last but not least, we have Emma Rose Lai-Oen. Yes. Nice to have you here. Nice to have you here. Welcome. And we also welcome Michelle Bradley, who is here with us today. She is the vice principal at Island Pacific Academy. Welcome to the show. Welcome, Michelle. So, Kara Reeves and sunscreen chemicals that end up in our oceans in the water. What's the big story about this? What's the importance of the science projects that you carried out at Island Pacific Academy in Kapolei? Well, when you think about it, the ocean is a huge part of the culture here in Hawaii. And with that, we need to protect our skin from the sun. So we all use sunscreen. Right? Sun is really bright in Hawaii. Exactly. And we have a lot of chemicals in our sunscreens that we use that do affect our coral reefs. And we need our coral reefs because without them, we lose shelter for lots of animals in our ecosystem. And it really could affect Hawaii. And also, I guess, the tourism has a big importance because the tourists come to see the reefs, the beautiful beaches and oceans. But at the same time, the sunscreen they wear to protect themselves is harming our coral reefs. Is that right? Yeah. So what is exactly a coral reef? What is it? A coral reef is made up of multiple different species of coral that come together to form a reef. And on that, many fishes and tropical fishes and algae can live. They're normally found towards inner shores. And some of them can be found a little bit deepers. But typically, a coral reef is what people think of, is around Hawaii, around the base of all the different corals. Wow. So they need sunlight to thrive. So it's basically a living organism, a coral reef. Coral is a plant and an animal. So they do photosynthesize. Oh. Okay. Wow. So the coral that we see, the kind of limestone layers, rocky kind of thing, that's an animal. It's actually many animals. It's many animals together. Yes. A lot of different cells clustered together to form one coral. That coral slowly grows by producing more cells that, depending on if it's asexy reproducing or asexy reproducing in the water. Wow. Okay. So you carried out the science projects to understand what happens when these tiny animals that make up the reef, the corals, come in contact with the chemicals in the sunscreens. So what areas did you consider for this project? So we chose to use the most commonly found coral in Hawaii, which is the Hawaiian lace coral, or poslapora damacornis. We used the youngest stage of where it grows, so right after it's born. We used the larvae in its youngest stage because using the sunscreen and how it would affect it, we wanted to see how it would change over time and how it would affect its growth later on when it grows up. And I believe we have some pictures. Maybe let's have our first slide up so we can see something of the work that you carried out. Okay, so here, oh, is that Christmas? Yes. We did our things during winter break just because we're all available and we had the time to do it together. Okay. It took a week overall just to prepare and watch, observe over time. So what are we looking at here? Is this your lab at Island Pacific Academy? No. So we actually went in town to Sand Island where we did this experiment at the Hawaii State Coral Restoration Nursery because it's illegal to work with coral without a permit. That's right. Yeah, we want it. Yeah. And so this experience that you carried out to investigate these coral reefs, how did you carry them out? How did you do it? You were part of this institute, so you were able to work with professionals. And so what did you learn from them as part of this research project? Actually what was really cool is when we went there, they wanted to let us do most of it. So we did all of our research. They only helped us with getting our materials and lab space and natural coral larvae itself. So we did them like teaching us or like doing the project we did ourselves. That was really cool. Wow. Yeah, they were there just mainly for guidance. Yeah, and just today so that they were there mostly supervised so that it wasn't illegal. No, that's right. Yeah, we want to make sure. Yeah. But you were able to see these lamps and this, okay, okay. And so the reason this experiment was brought to our attention or to use the two sunscreen chemicals we use were oxybenzone and oxinoxate. And we use those because the legislator was trying to pass a bill at that time to ban those two chemicals in sunscreen so they wouldn't be allowed to be sold in the state. Oh, okay. Yeah. So these chemicals, so let's see some other pictures here so we can see more about what you did. So we're looking at Zahir here using a microscope with some samples. And I suppose how tiny are these organisms? So these organisms can actually be seen with the eye itself whether they're just swimming around.  Oh, okay. So tiny, tiny. Yeah. So you can see them swimming around. But the reason we were using a microscope is I needed to see one if there was settlement which is when the coral larvae attached itself to substrate or a rock or which we use a little, I guess like a little pod made out of cement by the corals. A sediment pod. Yeah. So the way it works basically is that this organism lifts on the corals and builds the coral. Yeah. And then how does it reproduce basically? Pocsapro damocorners is actually a special type of coral because it asexually reproduces its own larvae meaning that it can produce it itself. It doesn't need to have a partner. Oh, okay. So basically the larvae are released into the ocean current and then that's how basically the reefs develop. That's terrific. Okay. So let's see one of those larvae. We have, I believe we have a picture here so we can see what actually looks like, okay, so here. What are we looking at here? So this is swimming larvae. So before the larvae settles it swims around and looks for a place to settle. To settle. Okay. Okay. So these are tiny dots with yellow marks and white. They're mostly white. The species. This coral is actually more of an unhealthy side because a natural coral color would be more brownish. It depends on the species. More healthy color. It depends on the species too. Oh, okay. It depends on the species. Okay. So yeah. But the coral that we're using, a natural color would be brown and it'll take about like two weeks to settle onto like something like a substrate. So these ones over here, we counted them as unhealthy because as you can see, they're white and they have like this unhealthy color and... Oh, okay. Okay. That's terrific. And so you basically had this larvae, this swimming larvae. They move around and then we, you, what did you do as part of this project? You let them float or you, yeah. So how we went around our experiment is in the beginning itself, well, actually they weren't there for this part, so I was there at the lab and... Oh, you weren't there already. Yeah. So basically how it works is the first day was the longest day we had to be there or I'd be there because that's the day where I had to go into the lab and they had like a container full of larvae that they just produced that week. Oh, okay. So they produced the larvae. Yeah. So they have a bunch of colonies there that are set up in like farms so that they can produce their own larvae for testing themselves, right? So after they gave me that tube, I had to go through and count a total amount that we're using. So I was around 270, right? Give or take a couple... 170. Yeah. It's because it was kind of hard to count them because they were small, so I had to go and use a little... Pipet. Pipet. Yeah, I had to go pick them out. After that, what we did was we put them, actually no, we counted them and then we got these tiles. They're... They're little ceramic tiles that you can get at the hardware store. And then what we did was we applied a layer of sunscreen onto them on two tiles and then we had these plastic containers and that's where we put the two of our tiles with... I think it was 10 larvae, right? Yeah. Yeah, 10 larvae. Yeah, 10 larvae into one and that would be one containment. Now we did a 12-byte, 3-byte? 3-byte.  We had 270 larvae in total so we had 27 cops. So all of them would have like 10 each inside. So for example, we would have a control. We had our control sunscreen one, which is Oxide-Benzhen and sunscreen two, which is Octanoxide. We had our controls and different settle times, settlement times, our exposure time, sorry, where we used one hour, six hour and 12 hours. So in total we would have... Exposure to this chemical. Yeah, exposure to the chemicals. We also did these times because that kind of replicates wave patterns and sets. So about one hour is the initial time, then six hours is between like a pattern, then 12 hours be a full day and a set. So that's how we use those different times. You know, just we're curious here at Fintech, how long did it take for you to complete this two experiment? The exposure part? Or the whole experiment? The whole experiment, because it sounds like a lot of work here that you carried out. A week? A week? A week. We started off with... Okay. We started off with... With Z was working at the exposures for the exposures and then six days afterward we just watched over time. So yeah, in total it was just seven days. Yeah, okay, okay. Let's see some more pictures so we can see more about this. Okay, so here these are... What are these? Yeah, these. These are some dying coral, so basically when coral is on its last resort, you know, trying to fight to survive, they sometimes shoot out their algae part. Oh, okay. So what you're seeing in the water, they're that white stuff. The white stuff. Yeah, the white stuff. Yeah, around the wall. They're just the stringy thing. Yeah, usually you'll see later on in our other pictures, they don't do that. Oh, okay. And that's kind of like an abandon ship type situation where they're just trying to survive. Because they were affected by the chemicals? Exactly. Oh, okay. So these are still larvae anyway, and they were not able to attach to anything. So they're just... They didn't really have anything to attach to. Okay, okay. So let's see some more pictures and we can see some... Okay. So this is a healthy larvae? That's an healthy one. Yeah, and you see this because the color is not white. It's like a light brownish. As you were mentioning, the brown down. Yeah, and in this photo, the quality is not too good, but it feels a little better. You could probably see the lines on it, which mean that it's hopefully growing and it's not in any stress. You can see some kind of stripes or more brown areas on this. It's very tiny though, as you mentioned earlier. The color and the shape was really important throughout the project because that's how we would determine if it was a healthy or unhealthy coral. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Let's see some... Okay, so this is another larvae, I believe? Yes. This is what we would basically call dead already where it's basically just swimming or it doesn't even swim around anymore, it just floats to the surface and then we would say it's exploded when all of its algae like just shoots out and then it's trying to defend itself but it can't anymore and it's just exploded. Yeah. So you mentioned how many of these tests did you carry out? How many? So we had a control, we had a control of three sets, which was because we wanted to have different trials. So you had a control, then we had a SS1, which was the first sunscreen and SS2, which is arctonarctite and we have three of each. So it was a three by three experiment. So it would be a control one hours and then there would be an A, B and C, control six hours, A, B and C, control 12 hours, A, B and C. Yeah. And then we did that for the SS4 and SS2. We had three reps. Where did you grow them? At the lab. So there was the little trailer that we worked in because they had a hard desk area. That's where we worked. And then in the main... We saw it on the picture of your lab. Yeah. So that's like the trailer we were in. And then a little bit away from that was their main building. And then that's where there's in a separate room these tanks like these large tubs that we got a little slot for to put our times in. But you have to use the microscope to check the health status of this. So the color of the tiny larvae. Not really. You could see it pretty clearly and the only reason we're using the microscope was if there was settlement we use the microscope to see how it settled because it's depending on how it settles also tells us if it's healthy or not, if it's like on its side. Because the mouth, a healthy coral settlement is supposed to be in the very center. Yeah. Okay. But if it's on the side or... Sit down. And upside down or settled where we weirdly we know it's deformed. Wow. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. So we're learning here on FinTech Hawaii young talents making way about corals and what happens to them when they come in contact with chemicals. And we're doing this thanks to this bright team from Island Pacific Academy. We're going to take a break but we're going to be back soon. Stay tuned. Kids to go in. He's a service dog. Oh, I could get a vest too. You're not even a service dog. He's trained to assist his owner. Well, I can do whatever he can do. Wow. Did he just open the door? Yep. Oh, I can't do that. I can't do that either. He's trained for over two years to become a service dog. Man, I wish I could be a service dog. We're back. We're live here and young talents making way. We have here a bright award winning team from Island Pacific Academy and we're learning about what happens to the corals when they come in contact with these chemicals that we find in our sunscreen lotions and everything. So thank you for being here. Thank you. Thank you all. So what are some of your results, you know, about this project? You sampled a lot of larvae of corals. You saw what happened to them when they came in contact with these chemicals. What are your results? So for our results, our controls, they stayed fairly consistent. We did have like an unnatural drop where we had a lot of deaths and I can't remember which exposure time it was. It was in our controls. I know. Our six hours. Yeah, it was in our controls. It was in our controls six hours. Really weird because the, oh, that's really, okay. So we noticed that the controls were more alive compared to the two sunscreens, which means like the sunscreens are basically unhealthy and they're not natural. They do harm, kill, and deform the corals. But overall our coral, but we do know is that our controls looked healthier than our sunscreen. And even though there is a drop and we're not exactly sure why, sometimes it happens when you're working with live animals. Things happen. That's right. And what we mean by our controls were the, we had three batches like we explained earlier. In our control batches, that means there is nothing in the water, like chemicals, there's nothing in it just besides the corals. Yeah. And that's why it was really weird that we had a lot of dust there. So what are the most hazardous chemicals that are present in these lotions? So we used oxybenzone and octanoxate. And I think the oxybenzones, they had the most deaths overall and they bleached the coral the most, which means they lost its color. And you know coral bleaching is a really big thing. Yeah. The octanoctite was a little bit weirder because it didn't have as much death, but it had less, it made them deformed. It made them really small. Yeah. Because we saw the coral shrink. So did he accent it? Wow. Which is interesting because the oxybenzone, they didn't get smaller. They just lost their color and they died off. But the octanoxate, like we would, because it's the same size coral, right? Pretty much. Look at it and then towards the end, we were having a lot of trouble looking at it because it was so small. Yeah. It shrugged down. And that's when you had to use a microscope. Yeah. But we can all agree that the oxybenzone is probably the most horrible. Yeah. And it's found in almost every sunscreen. You carried out this science project at Island Pacific Academy, but you also presented this as part of the state science and engineering fair, the state of Hawaii science and engineering fair. And if I remember well, you also had some awards that were given to you, that were granted to you as part of this experience. How was it? What can you tell us about it? Well, I was the only one there because these two guys are on a trip. So I was just there alone, but I really enjoyed it. You were representing the team. Yes, yes, I was. I really enjoyed it because I got to see people that were interested in learning about their coral because they can relate to my life. They like going to the beach. They like going outdoors and using sunscreen. And just one of them was a NOAA judge. And then she's like, oh, that's a really good thing that you're learning about what happens to coral when it gets affected by sunscreen. So I was able to talk to them and explain to them what happens later on. And I made it to finals too. Wow.  And then I just explained to them, oh, this is our project. And what is coral good or bad, or sorry, sunscreen, is it good or bad for the coral? And then I also talked about some sunscreens that we did find that were supposedly healthy. If you go to Costco, sometimes they sell reef safe sunscreen. And I actually bought one of them. I don't know how it affects the coral. But that's a good thing to test on too. So what should we all do? What kind of recommendations do you have for our audience in terms of trying to not burn our skis, but at the same time, don't harm the corals? Zink is a good alternative. It's safer, supposedly safer, yes. Oh, OK. But sometimes the reef safe sunscreens can be more expensive. And there aren't a lot of natural alternatives to using sunscreens that don't contain oxybenzone or octanoxate or really similar chemicals that still affect it the same way. Like you can find a bunch of different kinds. But the SPF on them wouldn't be as high as like a other brand that uses chemicals. And we also found in our research, while we were researching these chemicals, that oxybenzone has been found in bloodstreams, right, like it stays in your blood, basically. And it stays in your bloodstream after you use it. After you use it, thank you so much. And has not been completely proven, but there are looks that it can possibly cause skin cancer later in life. Oh, wow. Yeah, so long-term effects. Yeah, I just heard on the radio the other day that the legislative people did ban the sunscreens that have oxybenzone and octanoxate as their active ingredients. Yeah. Like, so the brand's like copper tone. Nitrogena. Nitrogena, yeah. Those two are, they have like higher levels of oxybenzone from our research and octanoxate. So I'm not saying that you shouldn't use sunscreen, but maybe I went to Costco and I found Alba Botanica, where it was like 100% reef safe or supposedly so. So I just recommend like maybe you guys should just go out there and maybe find something more natural. To try and protect. Just see it, yeah. And if you were wondering where you could figure out if sunscreen does have it or not, if you look at where the ingredients are, it should be under the active ingredients area and you should see how much is in it. So, take the box and behind there is the, yeah. Yeah, okay, okay. Now, so you carried out this project at the Island Pacific Academy, which was also awarded the, it was the top one in your category at the State Fair, the animal science, so we want to say this, yeah, okay. And, but you are eighth graders at Island Pacific Academy. What do you see in the future ahead of this, you know, with your experience, the science projects, what would you like to do in the future? What would you like to continue doing? I think that this project was a really great experience for all of us and that we all kind of want to go into careers in at least marine biology or something along those lines. Related to this topic, yeah, yeah, yeah. And are you going to continue with this research with corals? Are you going to go more at other science fairs? We would first have to contact our lab and, like, we would talk between ourselves because some people are moving to different schools and stuff. But we would have to contact the lab that we worked at, which was the Hawaii State Coral Restoration Nursery, and see what their schedules are and see if we can even get a time slot that we could work on future projects. But, like, our continuation projects would be, like, testing the more natural or what they call reef-safe sunscreen. So we would use that and then we would compare it to, like, maybe other natural sunscreens and things like that. Or maybe a harmful sunscreen to see what's the difference. That's going to be interesting to see, you know, different effects of other chemicals as well. The sunscreen we use was a lotion, not a spray, because if we were going to use a spray, we found it hard to get an even coating because every sunscreen title, like we said before, we put a thin coating of layer on it. And that's so we could control the amount on each thing. With a spray, we found it might be a little bit harder for us to control that. So maybe in the future we could find a way, but for now we just tested the lotions. But is there a difference between the lotions and the sprays? The spray is more oily. When you put it on your skin, you tend to have more oil compared to... And that could possibly mean because the oil and water flow to the surface. Yeah, that's why it flows to the surface. So that could have a difference maybe out in the wild, but we do not know that for sure. Because maybe the corals are below water, so maybe it doesn't really... Okay, okay. So this is a really nice conversation we're having today. Time flies, unfortunately. We have only about two minutes left for our conversation here today. What would you like to tell our audience to make them a little bit more aware of this topic and the effects that these chemicals can have on the corals? I think with this project we found a problem that people already knew of, but we proved it. And it's our job as a community to save our coral reefs and just be aware of it. And hopefully someday, whether it's us or some other scientist, we solve it and we can find an alternative. I would say to our group of audience listening, whoever, is to be a little bit more careful when you buy your sunscreens. It doesn't take that long. Just turn over the bottle or package. Just look at what's in the actual sunscreen and when you're using it and think about the effect of it having not on yourself but to the ecosystem itself. I would just say to just keep swimming but just be aware that there are other little creatures swimming around and without them, maybe we wouldn't have like poke or any like all that seafood in the water. And like we kind of, it's a Hawaiian thing where we like use our, we depend our state or some of our staples depend on the animals inside the ocean. So without our coral reefs, it could just basically ruin some traditions and things like that.  Emalama ikekai, take care of the ocean. Yeah. We, we, we thanks this, this brilliant and award-winning team from Island Pacific Academy. And so Aubrey Ramsparum, Zahir Golco and Emma Rose Laioen. Thank you very much for being here today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you all. It was great conversation and really we made content and people aware of this problem. And so we've been watching young talents making way here on Think Tech, Hawaii. I'm Andrea Gabrieli and next Tuesday we'll be back for more. Stay tuned.


Tony, U.S. troops are on their way home from Iraq as we speak, but the U.S. will maintain some presence in Iraq. What does the next phase of U.S.-Iraqi relations look like? Well, it's a good question, because when Prime Minister Maliki came here to talk to President Obama, it was after several years of negotiation. We have committee meetings, and we've made some progress, but we still have not defined the relationship that will exist under the Strategic Framework Agreement. What we do know is this. There'll be an office of security cooperation with several hundred U.S. forces. There'll be U.S. military contractors, because Iraq is ordering up to $11 billion worth of U.S. arms, M1 tanks, F-16s, and other systems. There'll be a police development program to replace the military program. This will be run by a very limited number of State Department officials and again by contractors. There'll be four areas that the U.S. will occupy diplomatically in Iraq. The embassy and three consulates, the key ones will be down in Basra and then up in the Kurdish zone, in Erbil with a real effort to stop tensions between the Kurds and Arabs from exploding into conflict. There'll be a total of some 10 areas where the U.S. has military presence, but all of them will be Iraqi bases, not sovereign U.S. bases. And the protection of the U.S. advisers there will be up to the Iraqis, not the U.S. What no one has defined is whether any kind of other troop presence will come back. What arrangements the United States would make to come to Iraq's help if it came under pressure from Iran? Because while Iraq was the dominant military power in the Gulf, in 2003 when we invaded, we destroyed virtually all the conventional forces. Iraq has no capability today to deal with Iran. There are other key aspects of this, intelligence support. Iraq has good human intelligence, but it doesn't have any of the technical assets, things like these unmanned aerial vehicles that we have, to provide intelligence on its internal security or what's happening on its borders. Beyond that, there's an aid problem. How will we provide aid in the future for the civil side? We have an important presence in many Iraqi ministries as an advisor. There are areas in the economy, in broadening the economy and liberalizing it, where we have small advisory teams, but we haven't defined the plan or the lasting relationship yet. This sort of brings me to my next question. Is Iraq better off today than it was before the U.S. intervention? No one can defend Saddam Hussein, but I think we need to recognize some grim realities. There's no accurate count on how many Iraqis died, but it has to be over 100,000. Several 100,000 Iraqis were wounded. Others were displaced, forced to give up their homes, sometimes their businesses. We're talking about a country which is still deeply divided between Sunni and Shiite in Arab and Kurd. The overall levels of significant violence have gone down, but lower level areas of violence, kidnappings, terrorism and the rest, arguably according to some measures by our National Counterterrorism Center, Iraq is a more violent place than Afghanistan. So we do not have peace. We have an elected regime, but that regime still doesn't have a stable government. It doesn't have a minister of defense or a minister of interior, for example, because of Sunni-Shia tensions. The relationship between the prime minister, the security forces, the other parties with the legislature, the Council of the Republic remains undefined. So we do not have a functioning democracy. What we have is an elected government which may become a functioning democracy. And when you look at the economy, we used up over $100 billion worth of Iraqi money, as well as $68 billion in USAID money. It's very hard to know exactly what we accomplished with that. We certainly did not develop the economy. And when you look at where Iraq is today, its per capita income, is 161st in the world. Now to put that in perspective, that's about the level of Gaza. But if you look at the rest of the Gulf, Qatar has the highest per capita income in the world. And when you look even at the lowest other country, which is Iran, it's something like 84th where it's doing twice as well as Iraq. So it's pretty hard to say that the result of our invasion helped the Iraqis, even if it did get rid of Saddam Hussein. There's many lessons that you've pointed out and written about that we should take from the Iraq war. What is really the biggest takeaway that you could say right now as we disengage our troops? I think that there are really three interrelated lessons. First, don't try to transform a country you're trying to help. Help it fix itself its own way rather than trying to impose our values too soon from the outside. Second, the minute you see an insurgency, a problem begin to arise, don't deny its importance. React quickly to stop it from growing and becoming a crisis, a mistake we made in both Iraq and Afghanistan. And finally, 10 years on in Afghanistan, nearly eight years on in Iraq, we have failed to integrate our civil and military efforts. We have a very weak structure in aid. Some very good people in the field, but a group in the State Department that after 10 years in Afghanistan, eight years in Iraq, has never produced an assessment of what our aid accomplished with measures of effectiveness that shows where the money went. And that's critical because if we're going to do these things, there has to be a civil-military partnership that's more than vacuous rhetoric. Tony Korsman, much to talk about going forward on this issue. Thank you very much. Thank you.
