I came to ECSU to shape the only four-year aviation science degree program in the state of North Carolina. A lot of our students are also in the CSPY program, which is a pre-commissioning program with course card. We had a very good success rate with that program. And also the nearest airport, the regional airport is within one mile distance. So our flight training students, they can take a class in the morning, go complete their flight training block at the airport, come back and go to the next class without impacting their schedule.


Hey there, friends! How's it going? My name is Kevans, and today we're playing BitLife. Sometimes they just say weird stuff, like I didn't mean to say that, but then my brain's just like, Hey, Kevin, save Van. Ah! You know, that could be a cause, a lot of the damage. Yeah, I could explain a lot. Anyway, today we're playing BitLife. Your current life has been saved. Oh, thank goodness. I didn't want to ruin my progress. I have 27 years of progress here that I don't want to lose. No, we're not being Karen. We've already done that. And we're going to be an everything addict. With the typo apparently. All right. All right. Where's Vegas? I want to live in Vegas. Probably a bad start for someone called everything addict.  Oh, give me some apple juice. I'm addicted. I'm one year old. I'm already starting on the hard stuff. Now I'm suffering from middle ear infection. Wait, I can go to the emergency room? I'm an infant. You're treated at the emergency room. I made that decision as a four year old. Great, I've got asthma. Okay, that was a wild ride. I was just kind of clicking through it because on their own, they all seemed kind of simple, but it ended when my parents divorcing. And now I'm depressed. Look, this is how it happened. It was such a gradual process over the course of a few days. I'm being bullied at school by Maurice. I tried to claw my classmate Maurice. I was sent to the principal's office for fighting. I argued with the principal. I was suspended from school. My father argued with me because I was suspended from school. I reprimanded him. My parents immediately divorced. You see what I mean? It gradually kind of escalated and I didn't think it was worth even talking about, but then it led to divorce and depression. So far so good in this life. I can see why he's addicted to everything. Your music teacher, Mrs. Stevens, just announced that she can't wait for parent conferences so that she can see who is responsible for breathing you. Can you just give me a break? I'm six years old. My parents just divorced directly because of me and I'm depressed. No, don't squeeze her forehead. Upper cut her groin. I mean, you are six so it kind of makes sense. Oh my God, that's a lot of damage. Oh, now I'm at the principal's office again. What's going to happen? My parents are going to get divorced twice? I have no consequences for this. Argue with them. I got expelled. I forgot that was another thing that could happen. Oh well.  All right, that helped. I'm a little bit happier. Hey neighbor, you don't have any drugs under those leaves, do you? It's important to note, I don't want to just get addicted to the substances in the game. I want to get addicted to everything in life. So I'll start with shoplifting. Deal a mini Zen garden. That could calm you down. Wait, Harry Potter puzzle. Steal that. Yes, 11 bucks for it too. I mean, I would have kept it to be honest. And now my depression is cured. I guess this is where the path started. He was depressed for years and then he stole one thing and he's like, I'm suddenly over the moon. I'm delighted. Okay, do I actually need glasses? Oh no, I found the S. Okay, that one's hard. I like how he was wearing glasses while doing the test and then passed it.  Doesn't really make a lot of sense. See, I have perfect vision as long as I'm wearing my glasses. I don't need glasses. The cat just died. But he sipped on brandy during a parody and died from alcohol poisoning, putting a damper on an otherwise lit parody. That's not poggers at all.  Attack her. Yeah, liquor ear, that'll show. Damage. I think that's all psychological. You know, I think I'm just gonna skip through these. It's been a few rough years. I just want to get to 18 so I can numb my sorrows. I can't lie. So I just prayed that I would feel better. There we go. Graduated from high school. Absolutely depressed. I'm gonna try and go to university for once. I never go to university in this game. Why am I not getting accepted to business school? Why? Why are you all neglecting me? In front of class, your professor questions your heart. What does that mean? Spit in his mouth. For fact sake. I'm going to the Dean's office. I've been expelled. Okay. Can I go to vet school? No. Oh, come on. I already know you shouldn't feed cats brandy. That's gotta mean something, right? Please love me somewhere. Let me do something. Oh, no wonder he gets addicted. All right, we're going straight to crime. That's gonna be my first addiction. All right, steal a car. That's a good start. What do I want? Mitsubishi Outlander. Steal it. A soldier saw you and called the cops before he got started. I have been arrested. I've been found guilty. Okay. With the character attacking someone, I'm telling, I'm getting involved in this. You've been released from prison. My health is very bad. So someone offered to bring me to yoga. Yeah, I'll go to yoga. I feel much more robust after getting mounted by a goat during a yoga class. Okay, that's great. That's fine. All right, I have 11 bucks.  I'm a monk. Oh, come on, criminal record. Aren't you supposed to forgive me? I'm confessing to you. Porn set janitor then. That was my second favorite choice. Do you have any plans for future education? I wish I did, but I don't think anyone will have me. Spit in his mouth. I don't know. Is that a good or bad answer? Because like, I know it shows ambition, which is nice, but like, I don't think a porn set janitor wants you taking further education, do they? I'll never stop learning. Say that. Yes, I got hired. A crazy person at the gym asked me to date them. Yay, we're dating. Great. Spit in his mouth. That didn't last long at all. She says it's not you. It's that. What kind of a statement is that? Oh my God, my father looks pissed. He does not like me at all. All right, my mom likes me though. Will you give me money? Thank you. All right, I'm going to invest this straight into myself. You're thinking about possible accomplices for your delinquent behavior. Who will you pick? A random monk. You and a monk locked a priest into a bathroom at a local movie theater. Nice. That'll show him for not hiring you. You know what?  Become a YouTuber. All right, I'm heading to the casino and I'm betting 10 grand. It's just over half my net worth. Oh no, and he got such a better hand. Oh, I got to take a hit on that one. I'm bust. Oh dear. All right, I'll just earn that back and I'll call it quits. Deal me in.  He also is a bad star. I'll stand. I'm going to stay. Please bust. Oh no. Okay. I'll go do some other crime then. Wait, I'm going in the negative? I bust. Oh my god. Okay. Oh my god. I just hit on 20. My accident. So lucky. I had a nine and an eight, so I was on 20. And then I hit and got a queen with the ace counts as a one as well. So I got 20 again. Oh, that was lucky. This is my lucky day. I better keep going. Hit me. Just hoping for that 21. I don't know how I'm still going to be honest with you. I got 20 on my 19. Because I'm in the minus. You have a debt. Oh no. Run for it. Yes, run for it. Oh no. I was captured by the guards. Okay. They're just sending me to prison. That might be better.   Oh no. I lost my job as the porn set janitor. That was my dream job. Like right after Monk, it was right there in second. While watching the news with your cellmate, you see a story detailing I killed six criminals. Congratulations. Okay. I got released. Let's go to the casino. Hello, roller. Unwelcome. Lifetime ban. Okay.  You're scared of me. Is that it? All right. Let's make a YouTube video. Exposing this. The editing was perfect. Your video got zero views. I need money. I can't get addicted to anything if I have no money. Porn historian. There you go. You know a thing or two about that. There we go. We got the job and I'm no longer depressed. Now that he's back with his passion, he's no longer depressed. All right. Let's go clubbing in the shaft. Sounds terrifying. A potential hookup. Yeah, go for it. You're enjoying it. You're enjoying it. And then she says you weren't as bad as she expected. What did she expect if she got that much enjoyment? That's like one percent. You see an extremely large man in the midst of a heart attack at the convenience store.  It's time to turn over a new leaf. Just look the other way. I witnessed a man having a heart attack. I look the other way. For no reason. I could have just called an ambulance but you're like, no, no. He just wants the attention. Go clubbing again. That went great.  Yeah, I'll take it. He just doesn't understand. He's just like, what is this? And now I'm addicted to it. You need to come up with a name for a historical book about pornography that you were writing. What will you call it? Um, these are all just awful. I'm going to go in legends of the lewd. I've named the book. That's like halfway to finishing it. I've just named it. I don't write anything. And then I head straight to the shaft. How about we get addicted to some plastic surgery? Snickles reputation is only half. But he's like two thirds the price. Yes. Nice Botox. Why is your health so low? What's wrong with you? Oh, I see. Yeah, I'll take it. Why do I keep getting like 13s? All right, hit me. Oh my God.  Yes, a 20. Finally, I won. But the problem is I keep losing when I do the big bets and then the smaller bets. I win. Just leave. Just leave the casino and go clubbing. Clubbing is going way better. That's a much better addiction. The parody life. I'm going to go to Billy Joe's disco. Look, I enjoyed that way more than the shaft. Drunk person started arguing.  Yeah, bite his skull. You know what? Go with the default. He died. Oh my God. I didn't think that would happen. Did I not get in trouble? Oh, wait. Hold on. He did a bit extra. I bit the hymn skull. Then I pummeled him with body blows to the midsection. I didn't tell you to do that part. I don't know if I should go back to Billy Joe's disco anymore. I think I should stay away from that. It's time for a penis enlargement from Dr. Snickles. It was botched. Yes. I just have through the money. God, the hookups were not going well. When he was normal. Now how is it going to go? I got depressed.  Does it have teeth marks on it? Because if so, that could be true. Started a rumor back about her. And she reports me to HR. All right. I have enough money now to start my lawsuit. I want 50 grand in damages and I'll get the most expensive lawyers on the case. Yes. 50k. I'm heading to the casino. A 14. Fantastic. I'm going to stand on the hopes that he gets a 10 and then has to hit again on a 15. 22. There we go. I did it. I finally won a 10 grand hand. This is the luckiest streak I've been on since my conception. I'm going to go again at 13.  Will you stop? Okay. They bust. Fantastic. Oh my God. I've lost eight and a half thousand during my lifetime. I'm catching up. Bet 100k. I don't even have 100k. Okay. Here's my moment. Cross your fingers, Mr. Attic. At 13. Are you kidding me like? What is this? If they get a 10, they have to hit on 16, right? I'll stand.  You got a two, a six, a seven and a three. Oh no. Oh no. I've... Oh no. I go again. This is my only chance. Just don't tell them that I don't have any money to back this up with. And I got a 12. Hit me. You got to be kidding me. Five years. God, it really doesn't scale well, does it? Like 150 dollars. I got three years and 125,000. I got five years. My happiness, health and looks are zero. The only thing that has a bit in it are smats. And this is the guy who keeps going to jail for the same thing. I don't think that's accurate. I think it's inflated. My mom sent me a word search book. Return it to sender. Just circle the letters to spell out send drugs next time. All right. I've been released from prison. The things are not looking good. And I'm still so much in the hole. Now that I'm banned from the casinos, I have no way of earning the money back. How can I do this? I could resort to crime, of course. But I'm not going to get away with that. Could I adopt the child? No, I can't. I just want to be happy again. I thought it might be a good idea. Let's just go clubbing. Maybe we can meet someone at the shaft. They won't even let me in because of my looks. I can't even get surgery anymore because I don't have money. And what other way could I fix my looks other than, you know, trying to better myself through slow and steady progress, like going to a gym and taking care of my mental health. But that's just absurd. Now, if I kill my parents so I could inherit their money, are you guys rich? Okay, she just gave me two and a half. Okay, yeah, they're rich. Yeah, okay, they're both rich. And since they're divorced, if I kill them separately, then they should give me the money instead of each other, right? That makes sense. All right, let's get the mom first.   I can't lose. You don't have enough money. An IOU should suffice, surely. That is so sad.  That is just... What kind of society are we living in? I'll do it myself then. This isn't going to work, is it? Like I already got away with murder. He's probably pretty cocky. Should I try the bank robbery first? What is the best way to get money here? I don't know how to get 120 grand. Oh, great. I got a job as an exorcist, actually. This could work out. And I'm no longer depressed. Turns out exercise can help. How witty.  Time to hit the clubs. Oh, come on, dude. I can't afford surgery. Just let me in. My father passed away. Yes. Father time is the greatest hit man of all. He didn't give me anything. I'm pissed. Oh, my health. How can I boost this paddle boarding? Will that put up my health? Okay, that helped my health. I mean, I guess I just never leave the house. I actually have no idea how to get money from this situation. Like I can just work it off, but it'll take years. And I don't know if my guy will last years, to be honest with you. I thought porn cameraman might work, given his history in the industry, but they don't want him. They say I'm not qualified. Roadkill remover? No driving license. Okay, hold on. I'll be right back. I'll get my driving license. I don't have enough money, even though it says the cost is zero. Maybe I could ask his girlfriend to marry him. Maybe that would work. Or maybe we should just have some kids. I don't know. I have no ring, and I'm going to propose at a cosplay convention. She rejected it. Why? Give me one good reason. A hacker took my YouTube account and I lost my 16 subscribers. I apologize to my subscribers. I don't think I have any remaining. Do I? I don't think I even had 16 to lose. Oh wait, how do I have 143?  I posted a video and I got 11 views and lost six subscribers. Okay, everything addict is looking really sad now. I got a raise. Okay, good. A few more years, and I'll be out of the hole. No, I won't be. I only get like 6K a year after expenses. What am I spending? Oh, the drugs. I forgot. I'm now addicted to alcohol. I started drinking scotch. That's all it took. I died.  I died from an overdose. Oh my God. I was still so negative. Undue debt with the time machine. Can I do that? Oh my God, it's so expensive. Oh, sorry. I was thinking in his mind frame where I'm in debt all my life by hundreds of thousands. Well, he's dead. Everything addict. Wait, what's this? Oh, you can see his tombstone. Everything addict, age 52 years. He was an exorcist. He spent 10 years in prison. His happiness was very low. His funeral was attended by his longtime girlfriend and his mother. Can't believe she outlived me. You can look at all your dead people. That is amazing.  Premature debt, minimum life. Destiny is to die. Karen demands, baby demands, monopoly man. Everything addict. We got a lot of mediocres here. You can really see that they lived up to their name like net worth monopoly man's way out in front. Lovers, the seed is at the top with 28. Good lord. All right, well, I think that's enough for that little stroll in the cemetery. I hope you enjoyed the video, folks. If you did, be sure to subscribe. I post every single day. I know. I don't really have a life either. That's why I play so much bit life. But yeah, I hope you enjoyed. I appreciate you as always, and I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.


Hey, weirdos on Facebook. I have never done a live Facebook video before but I thought I'd use this as an opportunity to do so and also Because I wanted to share something with you. I'm going to put this in tonight's podcast But this is so important I think just by itself that I wanted to share it with you in a separate video Which I might be able to share later on on YouTube and and share this elsewhere But here's the here's the email I received from Lindsay. She says First of all, love the show. It really connects with me I've long held to believe that the world is so much greater and so much stranger than many of us realize And I love hearing about others experiences in that area That said my reason for writing today is actually to express my appreciation for your approach to mental health issues Specifically depression but also addiction. I've suffered from both as is all too common I found that substance abuse was the only cure for my immovable feelings of hopelessness and despair With help though, I've been clean for three and a half years now I'm doing well though I have long since accepted that this is something I will struggle with for the rest of my life However, prior to the last three and a half years, I spent a decade of my life addicted to drugs. I'm only 28 now The last two years of that were spent using literally anything I could to numb myself through opiates Though opiates were my main addiction as a result I was injecting heroin every day my survival through that dark time was something like a miracle In fact, I was barely revived by paramedics after an overdose though. That's a story for another time Unfortunately over the years. I've lost several dear friends that were not so lucky. I Write all of this not for shock value or sympathy But in an attempt to convey how much I appreciate your understanding of issues like these as well as the message of hope you deliver Years ago. I saw no other path or future for myself. I couldn't imagine my life any other way in addition I was crushed by the shame and secrecy of my situation and felt that no one could possibly Understand or accept my day-to-day existence. I would not wish those feelings On anyone but sadly there are many who know that state of mind all too well I cannot express how much it means to me to hear you trying to get through to people who need help and It's such a compassionate and understanding way. I can only hope it'll make the path out of the darkness easier to follow for those Who hear thank you is not enough and please keep doing what you're doing signed Lindsay What an amazing email, right? Lindsay it took me a few brain cells to figure out how to reply to this What an amazing email. I am both grateful that you found help Also sad though that you had to go through all of that in the first place It's it's cliche for people to say, you know What only what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and I'm not really sure that I buy into that But I will say that God can use what you've been through To help others. I don't know where you're where you live in in your spiritual life, but I mean you've been through this All right, you found help And while it is a daily struggle and you admit that that in itself is a victory Don't be surprised if someday soon if it's if it hasn't already happened somebody's gonna come into your life and Need the exact advice from somebody like you who has been there and can hold their hand in the next step towards recovery So thank you for this beautiful email. It shows how much Organizations like iFRED and the the national suicide prevention hotline How much they're needed how important they are? This world's a lot darker than some people want to admit, but on the flip side It's also a lot brighter than many realize if they would just find a way to be lifted out of the darkness and Hopefully your email will do that today Thanks, Lindsay

Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now Larry Pezzavento. Hi everyone, Basel Chapman here. This is the one o'clock show. I'm trying to fill in for Larry's not here today. Let me just see if I move. Yes, I can. So what we're looking at in terms of the market itself. I've been discussing in my show and for my subscribers to my opening call that this is the period that I expected some some form of consolidation to take place and the consolidation should see the Dow slow the leader S&P next. The QQQ has come after that. I'll just show you a couple of techniques just now so that we can get into the techniques as I'm as I'm running through the show. So I like to use narrow rectangles and large rectangles. And what I was talking about yesterday, I was saying from Thursday. Let's pause Thursday. We've been I wonder if I've still got the chart if it goes back long enough. Yep, it does. Let me see if I can squeeze a close. Yes, I can. No, I can't. Yes, I can. So you see this narrow this narrow rectangle between 4155 in the E-mini contract started at Thursday after the close and a low of 4130. Look how long we've been in this narrow range. This is now Thursday evening, Friday, Sunday night, Monday, today's Tuesday, and we're still with it. We're at 4118. We've broken to the lower part, but look how long we lasted in this rectangle going to I want to go through the chat. We've notation just yet. We went out of it, which says that this dashed line, which is the midpoint of the long narrow rectangle. If after that move outside comes back and takes out that support, there's a real good chance you're going to take out go towards or probably take out the left side low bar below and behold, we did that. Then we ran up to a quick peak ABCDE and let me just tell you for those of you new to my technique, I tried to identify the lowest low bar and then count each successively higher peak alphabetized ABCDE of G uppercase on the way up low case on the way down. There's never an H it's at the fourth highest peak when you've been upgraded from the symbol that you're following has been upgraded from a by signal to a by mode. It should go to at least a D at D. There could be a little quick E and then there could be an alternate count, but D is where other things can happen. That's where you can get your sharpest decline. That's where that's your objective and then you have to start a new series of analysis analysis. Okay. So we've just done that a number of times and then you broke below that trend line support to 41 30. You went under it. Now we're 41 17. You've just made a leg G to the downside. It's a 10 minute chart. So this could become a tough G, but then it has to be an alternate count. G says C. I don't want to get into all that other than to tell you that this particular technique applies. It's it's a fractal. In other words, it is a fragment of any time frame, any chart formation in terms of time. And so this is the one minute chart and you can see we have almost the same kinds of patterns. Say there's this pattern that I call the dreaded H. Let me show you a couple of things that I like to do. I like to talk about three core. There we are. Let me just move with three core patterns. I look for straight line up or down cup formation. Or arch formation and a mix of one and two or one and three. If it's it's red like this, it means if you pull back sharply and then you're running and you fail at a peak A or B, the first or second peak, take out that left side low. You can go a lot lower. We've been seeing a series of these right here on the left side right here. Series of dreaded H's that have taken out the left side low. This one's about to test this left side low. There's an easy way to draw trend lines. You just take the outer wicks and join them. Sometimes you have to go to the body of the candle, but I want to hit the most number that I can choose the minimum, obviously, and then I draw a little with it like 316. So a little narrow channel within this framework. And that says that's the inside track repellent zone in this particular case. That's the propellent zone. So what we're looking at here is that finally you get a little bit of support and the reason why I use the MacD and the stochastic and on balance one is that these little guys that give me really good turns, some of them give it to the exact low or the exact high in this particular instance. It's attempting to give one, but that's MacD is a little bit better than it was on that low. The stochastic is a little bit better. So this is the one that might have a little bit more of a balance. We'll talk about that. But within this inside track, we've got an inside track propellent zone and a repellent zone and it creates a channel. That's the one minute chart. Now I'm going to go to I'll tell you what I'm looking at here. This is to me. This is key. I use moving averages. I remember the first time I met Larry, we were giving a workshop down in Florida and he had given a workshop and then he made a joke and he said anyone who uses that I he named just off the top of his head. He said a hundred or 200 period moving average run like hell and there was this quiet in the room because a lot of people I'd already been with TFN for years. A lot of people knew that I use moving averages all the time. I consider the integral to the inner workings of the chart. You can use whatever you want. If you wake up in the morning and you open the left eye and every day you open the left eye first before the right eye and the market is up, you can use that as a tool as long as you're consistent and it gives you a really good percentage when I don't care. I've used these and I say the 200 period moving average. Do I need the 200 moving average? No, but I put it on the chart because when it comes you will see when I go through some of these charts how important it can be. It's like a magnet the closer you get to because it's a long look backwards 200 bars the closer you get to it the more the price seems to want to hang there and stay there. That's how important it is. It's like a magnet. Let me just see the question. Okay, so I use the 9 period moving average and the 14 period moving average. They've served me and my subscribers from opening Corwell for decades. And I had said with my experience that I'm I'm saying to you that the distance between this green 9 daily chart right here, the distance between the 9 period moving average and the 14 period moving average is so big that it's either speed or time that is going to get that 9 period moving average to go under to change from green to pink by going under the black 14 period moving average. And here we are even with a 213 point down day that 9 is still way above. So either says we are really early in this particular self because it's going to go into early May was going to say that somehow or other the stocks like an Amazon and I'll just show the put them up right now like an Amazon or any any of the stocks that are coming up with earnings this week and for some reason I don't have all the earnings in front of me. But yes, Amazon at the 200 period move. I didn't even know that I was just I pulled that up only because I wanted to show something. Look how important the 200 period moving averages it failed back in February right on the moving average got an island reversal to the downside and it's fading right here. I'll be back in a moment.

The little Mozart overture I once conducted this very overture with an orchestra we're looking at the E-mini look when the pink nine period moving average went across from green to pink right there at about 10 o'clock this morning in the ten minute chart look how wide the distance is even when a deflected lower right there that peak a minus that failed with the dreaded H pattern look how it did and I just do in this inside track and look it plummeted right through in the last few minutes it does down 230 296 and there's to be down 51 so these techniques look how I can keep you in a trade longer than you'd even dream this is from 10 o'clock this morning so these are nice techniques now what I wanted to show you is this going back to the to the chart so Microsoft is coming out with earnings Google's coming out with earnings I don't know if anybody posted any others like zip I want you to look at that season Google let me let me just do this so Microsoft made a peak E but you see this vertical line right about the 9th of April you see how the Mac D was so good see the 9s way over the 14 you see that the stochastic was a little low than it had been but was still over 80% look what happened about seven sessions later on the 18th of April you've gone just underneath their previous high and we've seen double tops in the last year and a half so many charts they can go for a year or they can go for days but look at this 287 15 on the 5th for Microsoft to I made a mistake I should have said 292.08 on the on the 6th 292.08 and it goes to what 291.76 40 cents away from the previous hyper look at the Mac D how weakened is because the stochastic how weakened is because the on balance volume low than it was before but the 9 is still good so it takes time so from the high that was made took 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 this is a the yesterday was the 12th day then it took out the left side low of importance so now I can say that Microsoft on a on a daily basis I have to wait for the close today is probably going to be in the cell signal not yet confirmed with the cell mode until I see a pink which could happen tomorrow the next day depending on the earnings what if Microsoft bounces well I'm saying to you if Microsoft bounces with these technicals it'll be a balance is going to fail but it doesn't mean to say it has to collapse it just says that there's now tremendous resistance on the upside look at Google coming up with the earnings today or whenever it is tomorrow it made this double top look at that because a beautiful time sequence I look at the number of bars on the left number of bars I call it bar symmetry except it's not from a high it would have been from my except for that big gap up right there so the high that was made the doji candle I love to look at candles on the on the 1st of December at 102.59 for Google I go to Google I don't go to and I call it Google rather than Alphabet I go to G I don't go to GIO GL I go to Google itself the I guess this of this is the C share or something whatever it is yeah C share and then it makes this beautiful cup formation I didn't put in the left side right side price time match but I usually like to go to the arch on the left if or the arch on the right if it's a cup on the right if it's if it's a U-shaped pattern and that would have said I would have used this as a left side right side price time match symmetry and it went it would have gone almost exact or exact let me just go to that one I didn't go to the plumb line at the bottom I went to this one and let's see if that would work right there like that green green it is there is so these are the techniques I'll go through some of them I'll go through some of them in more detail but in the webinar that I'm giving to subscribers on a week from tomorrow I'll be discussing some of these techniques I'm going to be discussing a potpourri of stocks that we've missed on the upside that I really loved and that I really want to get into on the next big pullback so we'll have a whole list of things to look at so look at the time sequence from that high to that peak D remember the fourth highest peak peak D is where other that's your objective that's where other things can happen doji candle turnaround big candle a reverse chamois Roman candle inverse Roman candle takes out the left side low and there it is and comes down and what does it do it's two bars late and it gets to a slightly higher the fifth of 109.63 and now we're going to see because at this particular point it's stuck in the range but you can see the weakening of the nine period moving average but it's still green hasn't crossed negative don't dismiss that when it does then the 103 30 200 period exponential moving average which is gone above and then pull back below forever is going to be the thing to watch very closely if Google is able to hold a green nine period moving average and spike to 112 in the next four sessions that's not only going to be a help to the general market and the S&P but we'll see what happens if it can actually be a trigger for some of the other big caps and you've gotten to a peak D in the weekly chart look at the monthly peak G 152 10 February of 2022 alphabet plummets down to the 80s and now it's at 105 start a leg B oh no this is actually a leg C already oh it's not very strong but it is a leg C in the monthly chart so great peak a great peak B I don't like to make great peak C's but the Mac D is so weak and the sarcastic's only at 20% I have to call this gray I'm not changing the color right now but I am saying this one might take a little while to consolidate so this is how I like to use things and let me show you something even more important so we've been trading for subscribers we've been trading the upside of the we still have from the October lows the diamonds and the UDOW three times long but we are looking at where all the trading we stopped on the very short term because we switched from long to short at that peak F top in the S&P at 41 69.48 very next day we went short and we are still short via the three times short S&P not the full position but we've got a good position and what we're looking at is the double top right here in the weekly chart I'm watching the technicals there is still strength in the 9 over the 14 but it's saying hey be careful because if there's a follow through to the downside tomorrow because of the the maybe because of whatever high tech stocks or tech stocks are going to come up with announcements after the Bell or before the Bell that 50 period moving I only put it there because I don't need it until I need it but this 50 period moving average of 4053 that's going to be key if we touch that by Tuesday of next week we could be seeing 4021 being hit I drew this in I believe in the spy did I just yes yes I've done all the analysis in the spy I did this two days ago I forgot to show my subscribers to this I did show them on on Saturday my overview this is the type of thing we're looking at so here's the S&P today's key support will be at 4661 so far the lowest 406.97 this dashed line is a chapter we've inside wedge target support line on the way up it's green and dash and it's the target resistance line and this is saying by May the fourth there's a little bit yeah May the fourth it should be a test of this gap low or the gap high from the previous bar of 404.55 we're four seven points that he's getting a long way to go I'll be back Basil Chapman sitting here for the one o'clock to two o'clock out if you want to take advantage of

we're looking at earning so I just noticed so we've got General Motors came out this morning General Motors is now down a dollar twenty nine I believe earlier I'm sure I heard it that G was up one half percent or something now that's three point seven six percent one of the things I was looking at is this lowercase h can turn into a lowercase m so the H if it holds the left side and better rallies if it takes out the low and close under the low then it has a limited upside if it goes under and closes above it says it could rally but probably to an icon or a gap or removing the average above but not to the high on the left side unless there's a there's a by signal that gets triggered in the technicals which can take it from an H pattern to a really powerful cup formation deep cup formation however sometimes it goes into a rectangle by going into another H pattern which is a lowercase m the H goes to an M well lo and behold what do we have here we have essentially like an H right here this is the dreaded H right there we're about to take out the left side low in the GM weekly chart you've got a bee that failed and now it's got a rally and it's going up into a potential H going to an M pattern and the same thing in the weekly and H that looks like an M or rather a large H so this is not so good you've got a Coca Cola came out was it yesterday then you just type that in here Coca Cola Coca Cola a fantastic move it walks the nine period exponential what a powerful medium this is look it breaks above around about the 19th of March in the 60 area and low in bowls goes all the way to 65 and it's still green even today it's done only 12 cents and it's gone through that cup formation with a leg D we're going to be watching this closely and the monthly charts got this pen at the this is triangle formation and has snuck out of the resistance area gone back into it's a Coca Cola defensive stock like G. I. S. which is general general mills gone to an G. S. C. which goes to a D right there. There's your second D. There's a chapter we've instant restart there and instant restart there and this is I'm calling this at least for now B but it could be an E slash B in the weekly chart we'll see how it's sustained but all the technicals are fabulous and a leg F in the in the monthly chart general mills so wait a minute. So we come back and we say OK so what else was there. Well McDonald's is in the defensive area ups McDonald's right here. I usually put a plus sign over the D. I'll put that here for for general mills and what do we do. We go to M. C. D. McDonald's Mickey D. And it's gone to a strong leg E but with a intraday reversal high of two ninety five round number high. I love these round number highs. It means that two ninety five if it closes above two ninety five in the next bar or two it's taken out. It means that you have to look for a new resistance area but right now that's the round number high and it's trading at two ninety five points lower but it's only a peak C a leg C in the weekly and a lady in the monthly so that longer term looks so good and then we got G. E. So G. E. had a fabulous move to lay F hundred two point oh one bomb. It reverses intradays now at ninety seven ninety eight point oh six ninety seven fifty five was the low but this is only a day Gaff you have to wait for the next session to be able to call it a peak. This is still what we call a floating letter until it makes an actual peak but wait a minute G. E. H. C. which is a spectacular spin off in December with G. E. spun off to G. E. health care Inc. and so that went from the fifties to yesterday's high in the eighty seven area and today it's plunging down nine percent at two seventy nine eighty nine but it's only a leg C. I better check this. That was a high it looks to me like is a penny higher is eighty two fifty nine eighty two sixty two three cents. So when I do the case like this for those of you who know my work I tend to be a little conservative and I say it might be just three cents technically this is B. right here but I'm going to make I'm going to make this a phantom peak C. saying I'm prepared to say that that is because there was a little hiccup in the unbalanced volume right there that could be a C. and this could be a leg D. and which would pertain to looking at this pulling back a lot sharper and I'm ready for it. We don't have it I unfortunately I didn't get into this before I for subscribers spoke about us but some of you I know did it but we didn't efficiently do it because I wanted both G. E. and G. E. health care but this next turn down says maybe for the webinar that we're doing Wednesday week maybe this is on the list as something that we want to buy. Look it did a beautiful this is Larry's A to B equal C to D. I'm using not to have chapter with notation but the lightning ball pattern where it goes up pulls back and then has an exact almost to the penny expansion to the upside one to one and now we're pulling back and yet the technicals were extremely powerful. They're still very good but they are deteriorating as we speak so we're going to be watching this very closely out of the tube between G. E. and G. health care. I think G. E. health care is going to be the one that has a longer term outlook that's very positive. Next question is A. L. B. A. L. B. yesterday I didn't have a chance to get to it. Sorry. A. L. B. is album while called specialty chemical manufacturer of bromine lithium. Well it took quite a tumble from the high that was made in just under three forty back in about November of last year is trading at a hundred seventy seven I would call that cut in half and it's a peak F. That's what worries me about this market that some of these stocks like this album while like a Dow chemical I've actually pulled back quite sharply here. They were leading and now they're pulling back and that's in an area of the market that sometimes pertains to the economy in a different kind of way than say the caterpillars et cetera or deers. So I'm watching this one very closely next question came in. Let me just see if I've got it written down here. Oh packaging core. I did no one asked me about this is one that I follow all the time packaging core which I consider to be a really good barometer because packaging. I mean you can't ship anything unless you're paying we ship something yesterday. I couldn't believe it. It was a large box but not that heavy. Going to Utah and it cost fifty three dollars from UPS. I mean wow. I mean it was worth more than that but not that much more than that. But I wanted to get it there reasonable time and all that. So anyway looking at packaging everything has to be shipped in packages and look at this double top right here in the weekly chart gets stored in this rectangle going to higher highs and higher lows which says that you could go if you make high high and lows off to a very short flag pullback. You could go to just on just under. Or just above the previous high and then you got to be careful not to take out the midpoint of the rectangle. Well the height that I'm talking about in PKG packaging core of America. On the ninth week of the 19th of August was a hundred forty six point twenty seven. Low ball went to a peak C at a hundred forty six point twenty four always missed it by three cents when I say just on or just under or just above then a pullback held the halfway marker and then had a retest yesterday's high was a hundred forty five point seventeen. So there's peak C one this could turn out to be peak C two if there's a pullback look at the gap down. I mean that is it's actually an island river. I believe that's almost an island reversal. It's trading down eight point thirty eight. I'm not happy about these things down five point seven percent at one thirty six fifty packaging core. I'll be right back. That was down two hundred and eighty seven thousand chapter. This is the one two o'clock show. You can do the tiger.

Look at the nine others the daily chart the nine over the 14 really good. It started to weaken but it still looks great. The MACD is the moving average convergence divergence has deflected lower the on balance volume and gave that exact top reversal. Look at this right there. But the price really hasn't reversed very much just to cast sixty nine percent I like eighty percent. I love over ninety percent. So this is saying we've got some technical deterioration and the on balance volume is pulling back after being overbought at that level. And what I am looking at is that from the high that was made at the G slash C where you get an instant restore you get you get an alternate count. And then I went to the D. This right here on the fourth of April at one sixty six eighty four. Look at the technicals are strongly warps. Forgot I didn't sneeze during the last show. So I'll do it now. We've got the apple technicals on that day early April was fabulous by the time it got to about the 18th or 19th where was that? That was on the 18th I think it was on the 19th on the 19th when he hundred sixty six hundred sixty eight point sixteen about two points higher the MacD was deflecting lower the stochastic the on balance volume spike but it was lower than it was before the stochastic was at about eighty two percent which is much much lower than the eighty six or seven percent and wasn't it before and the and the relative strength of the little gray line here the daily chart was declining. So that's saying that Apple needs to have price dictate the trend because the technicals have already failed. The trend can change if the technicals start to improve and Apple for whatever reason takes out the high of a hundred sixty eight point sixteen on a closing must be on a closing basis tries for a hundred and seventy in the next two weeks that'll say fabulous action because the weekly chart has been breaking out over the chat we've inside track repellent zone. I mean just you take a straight line. You know there's nothing technical here. You take that straight line. Yes, it's a chat we're falling exclamation right now. I want to get into it right now. There it is right there. But that's not the issue. The issue is that the Mac Dean the weekly chart is is very strong. The stochastic is eighty nine ninety four percent that is fabulous on balance volume is weak but the nine is way over the fourteen. That's giving you temerity. That's giving you some strength. That's giving you the veracity to say Apple is holding extremely well but it is bumping into the chat we've inside track repellent zone in the monthly chart. What would change that when this changes from you remember the pattern we were looking at when it changes from this low lows to lower highs all of a sudden to higher lows and higher highs and a cup formation that would be really positive. I like the child of Apple right now. I'm thinking if you're looking longer term the next pullback on Apple might be a nice way just to enter a small position and you can build on that if it starts to make higher highs and higher lows because it's held so well this might just be early in the whole cycle. So I'm saying this is not the place to do it. I would have to wait for verification and if there's an arch formation if Apple by Thursday today's Tuesday by Thursday if it's closed under one sixty two is probably going to test the one sixty low is actually one fifty nine seventy eight although that was made on April the 12th. That's why I'm looking at that now a couple of things I drew in as we were talking I drew in this rectangle formation. Why did I do that because after years of doing this these charts I know that a massive move down that doesn't have strength to go peak A and then peak B and tackle all the left side ugly candles but stores in the big candle on the left is going to go sideways and you're going to go from an H if you hold the left side low which is done the one-minute chart of the many. It can go to a larger M shape pattern. So don't be a don't don't think that this is now the rectangle stalling and then it can go back to the upside. I'm saying this I've seen this pattern before and what happens is remember I was looking at this here. I never discussed it. I should have discussed it. Sorry. I was looking at the ten minute chart of the many and what I do very often in the H pattern when it's really want to stretch out when it takes out the left side low be careful because you can get a one-to-one expansion. There's your one-to-one expansion from that high to that base level in the one four forty one thirty area to the downside. Well, we did that perfectly and then we went to peak a Truff A doji candle and then a sudden F and that was the test because at that particular point the magti in the day in the ten minute chart was still horribly weak. The stochastic was flat in the single digits on balance volume was turning down. So I was not surprised to see that wish to the downside. Now we've got to be careful because the one minute says if we get another wish to the downside you don't want to see a propeller shaft as we saw over there with this as the full crimp and the next move down to the forty point eighty three area and remember for those of listening to my show for the last couple of days. I've been saying in the S and P if there is a sudden move down that takes out 4088 maybe 4082 be really careful. Let's just go there and see where we are and that's the reason why we're short and staying short from the day after the high I try to my best for subscribers to get all the exact day of the lows and the highs we try not always successful but to the to the extent that we've managed to get most of them I'm happy about that. This is not may a major high but we did get at least this turn down and at least it tells you that you can now put your stop so that you guarantee a profit even if there's a gap up because it's just raised twenty-four hours everyone at least with the S and P futures the S B X S is the way we are going that trades all the time but you can see the technicals are still pretty strong in the weekly so I'm calling this a digestive phase it could go all the way down to the 200 period moving average if it takes out that 40 50 50 day moving average then it can go down to the 200 and once again we're going to see the 200 period moving average become the fulcrum for moves like a sine wave up and then down and then up and then down and it keeps coming back to 40 20 this is the fulcrum of this big move in the S and P both up and down and up and down so that's what I'm looking at and now there's a couple of things Merna support area so this is the daily charts I'll just change the symbol I'll go m r n a m r n a so Merna is Moderna this is the this is Moderna Inc. It's in the biotech area you know they were the successful COVID people went all the way to 497.49 in August of 2021 I think one of the summer here when did I discuss this if I remember correctly it was in the 80s and I was my wife I had to go to the mass I something other than she just needed to have a checkup so I took her there because it was have drops and then she'd have to she couldn't drive home so I said I'll come with you and I had my computer out and I'm busy sitting there with my computer while she's getting checked out and an assistant finally said you know I've been looking at you with these what are you doing there? It looks so fascinating I say I'm looking at something like a chance she's and then she told me the story I'll tell you the story as soon as soon as I return I wonder if she still has I'll be back if you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock market then rocket equities and options report is a newsletter you should try Tommy O'Brien delivers options and equity trades when the markets present them using a combination of fundamentals and technicals sign up for rocket equities and options report today with a 30 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to risk for all the details and to start your subscription today you might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market you're going to need a crystal ball after all it's impossible to predict the future right like any endeavor in life before you decide it's impossible get some advice from the experts you might find that it's not so impossible after all for daily market overviews that give you direction on the key indices selective stocks and commodities subscribe to the opening call newsletter at tfnn.com the opening call newsletter is written by basil Chapman creator the trading methodology known as the Chapman wave the Chapman wave up down sequence gives you an edge and identifying price turns finding the peaks and valleys and stock prices get the opening call newsletter by basil Chapman and your inbox every day first time subscribers also get a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up at tfnn.com educating investors you can trust Larry's analysis after all he's got 45 years experience as a day trader Larry will also provide daily charts videos and data on the key markets that he's tracking expect notifications from Larry on market movement you need to act on at any time first time subscribers also get a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up subscribe to the Fibonacci 247 newsletter today at tfnn.com educating investors tfnn has launched the Tiger's Zen hosted at Discord tfnn has been educating traders for more than 20 years with live programming hosted by a variety of professional traders during market hours the Tiger's Zen available to all Tigers and Tiger's for just $1 for the year there's no catch or added costs when you join our community of traders sign up today and become a part of this educational community just visit the front page of tfnn.com Don't forget you can listen to tfnn live on your mobile device 24 hours per day go to tfnn.com then hit watch Tiger TV that's tfnn.com then hit watch Tiger TV It's just been flying by we're almost done so I'm just gonna say Moderna it's got this left side rights at price time action has another day to go to test the a hundred and thirty three six 50 a 66 low of the first of March my my guess is that that 115 area that was made earlier on last year that could be Tesla or it might stop right in between so 127 right now is gonna be really important shorter term support from Moderna then FXI I saw this earlier in my show and I forgot to do it yes FXI is coming down same thing this is the I share China large kept ETF big arch formation coming back down dreaded H pattern it better hold 27 otherwise that 25 area is gonna be lurking very quickly so the question is where do I see all this going I'll do more of this in my show tomorrow at 10 o'clock in my Tiger technicians hour but as I see it right now 33 thousand 300 is absent 500 is the key support we're reading the 500 the next level is 33 thousand see what happens with the nine period moving average because if it's taking its time this can last into next week so I I just I don't want to guess right now I'm just saying yes it's accelerating lower but the nine is still way above the 14 in the nine in the in the Mac in the the Dow daily chart so go one step at a time it does say that resistance is extremely strong strong in the 33 800 to 33 thousand across probably tell me junior from this morning and then Tom and Brian at three o'clock I'll be back with Tom I'll discuss a stock that we have for subscribers that is doing something completely different to the market but I don't want to talk about it right now talk about it when we get back together a little later on today meantime back in the round check out my opening call check out my my newsletter and check out my show the Tiger technicians our I think you'll be looking at some techniques that are very simple to use and it does all the work for you you just have to interpret I'll be back in a little while otherwise you tomorrow at ten pencil shop and signing off the dollars down three hundred and eighty have a great rest of the day


From VOA Learning English, this is the agriculture report. Companion planting is the idea that some kinds of plants can help each other grow. Plants that are compatible generally need similar soil, nutrients and moisture levels. Advice about which plants are compatible is sometimes based more on tradition than fact. But experts say there is evidence to support certain combinations. These can improve harvests, reduce disease and help control pests by attracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen from the air and make it into a form that plants can use. The plants hold or fix the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes are especially good at nitrogen fixing. Then any crops that share the same space as the legumes can get the nitrogen as the roots decompose. Beans and potatoes can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down in the soil, so they do not compete with plants with shallower roots. But some plants placed together can harm each other's development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil, but watercress does, so you would probably want to keep them separated. Some kinds of produce should be kept apart even after being harvested. This is because of ethylene gas. Ethylene is a plant hormone that can cause some kinds of produce to ripen too quickly. This risk of ripening too soon is why markets often separate high ethylene producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the ethylene from the apple will make the banana ripen sooner. For VOA Learning English, I'm Alex Villareal.


Now, we talk about the chemical composition of chromosomes. Chemically it is found by different types of biochemistry experiments and by x-ray diffraction studies that chemically DNA consist of 3 major ingredients, a sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base, DNA is a molecule that is about 2 nanometers thick. This is running continuously means without a break throughout the chromosome, DNA is acidic in nature. The biochemical analysis shows that DNA in its nature is acidic. So, you know the DNA is present in huge quantities inside the nucleus and it is packed. If we talk about DNA in a single cell all of its chromosomes and we simply elongate them and straighten them, these will be about 6 feet long, you can guess 6 feet about more than the height of an average person and this is packed in a microscopic cell and even inside its nucleus, how this much long DNA molecule is packed in a microscopic nucleus, very small one which we cannot see with the naked eye, how is this possible? The answer is coiling and the super coiling.  We know that chromosomes are present in pairs. If we look at the bottom right, we can see a homologous pair of chromosomes, the metaphase chromosomes which are present in the metaphase of the mitosis cell division. If we simply uncoil a chromosome and spread it in a linear fashion, then we will see that this is a highly complex molecule, founder just we can say it is coiled, coiled and coiled. If we open these coiles more, we can see in the geolocal or if you can see the flower like structures, these are called the solenoids. These are the lengths of DNA wound around or wrapped around the histone protein. If we even open them more, if we open the solenoids as well, then we can see the bead like structures. These beads, these individual beads are actually lengths of DNA wound around or wrapped around a set of histone molecule, we call it a nucleosome. One nucleosome is actually a set of histone molecules and two wraps of DNA molecule around it. This DNA which is wrapped around in two circles around the histone molecule is about 200 base pairs long. Then you can see that these beads are attached to each other. This part of DNA which is attaching them with each other is called the linker DNA. That is it is linking nucleosomes with each other. This linker DNA is roughly about 80 base pairs long. Then if we open this, if we still open the nucleosome and separate the DNA from the proteins or unwrap the DNA from the nucleosomes, then we can see the DNA is a very long helical structures, two strands going side by side together in a helical fashion. This part of DNA actually which is now without the proteins, just two DNA strands going side by side together makes the genes. It means that these are the, these are only the DNA molecules with no association protein. In this form, these are capable of making the RNA molecule and then the proteins. We have a closer look in this next diagram on the nucleosomes. You can see three nucleosomes here. If we start from the right, you can see one nucleosome, a central core of proteins. We can call it a protein core made up of histone molecules. Then two wraps of DNA, then the linker DNA, then two wraps again around the next histone set and then there is a third and so on. If we look this structure under the electron microscope because we know that electron microscope is a microscope which can show us extremely small structure which are not visible under the light microscope even. If we look at the chromatin material during non-dividing phase, we can see a bead like structure. These beads as we can see just, this bead like structure is actually the straightened DNA which have nucleosomes and the linker DNA, then nucleosome and the linker DNA and so on. So this how, this is how this much long DNA molecule which is extremely long longer than the height of the person is coiled or is packed inside a very, very small nucleus which is microscopic, which is not visible to us, visible to our eye. We can say that some scientist says that if we can straighten the whole DNA present in a human body and straighten it and make a thread, this thread will reach from the earth to the moon. This is that long, but you can see that how nature packed it into a very small microscopic nucleus and control the whole characteristics of the organisms using this genetic material. Now we talk about the chemical composition of DNA. DNA is a complex large molecule, it is a macromolecule. It consists of the subunits, subunits are called the nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of three major molecules. One is a sugar that is ribose sugar, a five carbon sugar and that is a deoxyribose. The other one is a phosphate group and the third one is a nitrogenous base. What is DNA actually? The nucleotides they join together that is one nucleotide is joined to the next and next to the next and so on. These nucleotides makes the long chains of the DNA molecule itself and there are two chains running side by side and these two chains are bound together. They are different parts we will look next. They bind together to make a helical structure. They are wound around each other in a helix. We call it a double helix because it has two strands helically winding around each other. If you look at the diagram it shows you a deoxyribose sugar, a five carbon sugar. Its five corners are showing its five carbons then you can see a phosphate group on its left and a nitrogenous base which is a six carbon one on its right. This is the structure of a single nucleotide. But nucleotides even are of different natures. Nucleotides are categorized into two groups according to their differences in their structures. There are two called purines and there are two others called pyrimidines. We have a look on their structure. Purines are two. One is adenine and the other is guanine. The pyrimidines are thymine and cytosine. There is a slight difference in their structure. The purines as you look at in the diagram, the purines are double ring structure. They have two rings. Their structure is like this that there are two rings joined together. But in the pyrimidines as you can see in the diagram the cytosine and thymine they are single ring structures. According to these four bases we call them nitrogenous bases because you can see there are lot many nitrogen molecules are present inside these structures. According to these nitrogenous bases we categorize the nucleotides into four major categories according to one with which adenine is attached, adenosine, guanosine, cytosine and thymine base. So, bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine. Now we have a look on DNA molecule more closely how these nucleotides are arranged in front of each other. If you look at the diagram we can see that a thymine is pairing with an adenine base. In DNA actually thymine always pairs with an adenine and a guanine always pairs with a cytosine. So, we can find out the GC pairs that is guanine cytosine pairs and AT pairs the adenine and thymine pairs. Now we know that the DNA is the main genetic material it produces the RNA ribonucleic acid there is a ribonucleic acid is also similar in its single standard structure to the DNA and is always complementary to the DNA. But the difference is this that RNA do not have a thymine in place of thymine the RNA molecule have another base called uracil. So, if this is an RNA molecule it will have uracil in place of the thymine and the uracil will pair with the adenine rather than thymine and the RNA is single standard RNA do not have these two strands running together. The DNA molecule as you can see that there are two parallel chains these chains are attached with each other by hydrogen bonding. If we look at in this next diagram the guanine and cytosine bases are joined together joined to each other by hydrogen bonding and guanine and cytosine the GC pair is attached to each other at three places by three hydrogen bonds while an AT pair adenosine to thymine pair is attached to each other by two hydrogen bonds. So, hydrogen bonding is the force that keep these two winding strands of the DNA together.


Hey, we got Bruno down there. Yeah Get out of the house for a little bit. It's nice day at 70 degrees. Yay, and We're gonna walk back in here where we camped out that one time and What's up the drone up in the air maybe get some drone footage Maybe get over top of the river and Get some of the river for you, but so we thought we'd take a little hike It's only a mile in and a mile out but I'm already feeling it. So And I'm not even a quarter mile in so But we're gonna get back here and we'll take my time. We've got plenty of time Yep, we're gonna have some fun Stick around there's people over there doing yoga Then you got campers And here's the water so pretty Bruno man hanging out Just nice to get out of the house stay tuned So guys he Gonna do a Format the card because of my I used to have my camera So he's trying to get some footage with the card that I have And he's doing an update on his drone And it's almost done So we're gonna try to get some footage here if we can with my SD card That's what he's doing. We'll be back Okay, guys, so What happened I got about a minute of footage for you because For some reason my memory card wasn't in my camera or in my drone And for some reason wasn't going into the phone So I Used her car and I fiddled with it for a minute a couple minutes and I Got it to take I Think it was a minute 36 seconds of video. I'll throw some of that in but so now I gotta go home find my card So The drone crashed Well the drone didn't crash I crashed it's pilot error and There's about 30 feet I Got these trees and it said went down and But still flying fine, huh? So that thing's tough. It hit hard right on the news camera and everything still works again will still work. So but It's okay I'm sure it's not gonna be the only time it's crashed, but it's broken now. So But nothing broke that's good But we got the like the insurance on it In case I crash it and break something then I sent it in have it repaired or Rebuilder whatever needs to be done to it. So that's cool, huh? Yeah Yeah, I thought this time I better get it Yeah But I had it how far how I'd I have it 411 feet I had it up So Anything like over 400 feet three three hundred ninety three feet. I think It'll give you a warning That you're too high To check and make sure you know which where we're at we're cool with you know We're I was allowed to be that high But I've seen a video where a guy had his over 900 feet Yeah, yeah, so But I couldn't see it at 411 feet. I could not see it. You can hear it though. You can hear it Couldn't see it, but through the screen. I could see where it was. I just took it up just to Just take it up a little bit. I took it straight up man. We flew around for a little bit monkey flew it Yeah, the hard to fly. No, no, it's easy, isn't it? Got GPS Don't want to crash and break it That's your whole thing, you know, you don't want to crash it. Well, it's broken now though. Yeah So I'll tell you what it goes Yeah Put it in sport mode what I have it up to 27. Yeah 27 miles an hour and it was picking up I didn't have enough room to really get Back there, but it was moving out pretty good. So That's pretty cool But I'll mostly be running in cinematic mode It goes a little slower But that's so you can get better footage and better pictures Which like I said, I couldn't her memory card wasn't working in it. So I don't know what happened to mine. She bought me. It was a big one. I think 128 gig or something So I have to go and find it and We'll get it back out here in a couple days. Maybe I'll fly it there at the house a little bit And Still got to get used to it But so we're heading back Down the old dusty trail here To the truck and heading home so I'll be back with you guys in a minute hang tight See what else we can see maybe we'll see some wildlife or something I don't know trying to teach Bigfoot trying to teach Bruno how to Bigfoot hunt for me, but He does his own thing So next time I get asked questions asked about is he a service anymore. Yes, he is What kind of service does he perform? Well, I can't see that well, so He lets me know when a Bigfoot is near Okay guys, so we got these as you've seen I picked off the tree monkeys got hers She thinks they're clementines. I'm not sure if they're them or tangerines, but they're small now we was up there and There was a we was taking a break on the way in where We had our supper on the boat well off the boat actually but Where I made the food and heard that bear. Okay. I just heard something big right in there I'm sure it didn't sound like armadillos. I mean this thing sounded big, but They was up in there. I was gonna take you down on the dock, but there was people that are fishing so but they had there's two trees there with Wild lemons lemon trees and they get huge man. They're like the size of apples Mm-hmm, but I thought I seen a lemon tree on the way in This might have been what I seen, but I could have sworn I seen the limiter on the way in I was looking for it on the way out couldn't find it, but we're gonna try these out Let me see if I can get you smell good Nothing get you set up here Let me see what I can do hang on a second. Okay, so we're peeling them Oh, you should smell it back in there where I walked in Okay, I can see juices just flying out of them. Mm-hmm. So oh, yeah, these are good Yeah, a little bit. Oh, we know where they're at.   Yes full of flavor What do you say you think they were? Clementines Clementines. Mm-hmm They're smaller than a tangerine Those Florida used to be all citrus. Yeah Citrus grows everywhere Hmm lots of seeds in these though, but they're they're good. Well, there's one seed in each one I got two in one. Well, there's at least one seed in each one. Mm-hmm. All right guys They're good though. We're gonna finish our snack. Mm-hmm Yeah, that one had two seeds in it. You should keep some of them We'll get back with you as soon as we get to the house Stay tuned. Okay guys, so that was our little adventure for today. I had to get out I wish you guys know haven't been feeling well, but it's a nice day. Had to get out of the house for a little bit So we did and those orange things were good Yeah, picked right off the tree fresh.  Yeah, so yeah, they're really good and there's Wild oranges or wild lemons down there, too. Well, we are in Citrus County but there used to be just orange groves lemon groves and just yeah, this Citrus all over Florida and It's not so much now. I mean, they're still orchards They're I mean, that's what it used to revolve around with citrus, you know, the orange industry lemons and So, yeah, that's so I had a good time. Yeah, it was a nice day gorgeous Yeah, 70 degrees. Yeah, light breeze. It's just perfect. It was perfect day, not a cloud in the sky Yeah, a lot of people were out and about to today. Yeah tired of being inside you can tell So yeah, we're not used to the cold here. We used to warms and going Outside a lot. Yeah When we can't go outside, it's like this is perfect camping weather here. Yeah, it's cool in the evening And nice during the day You know up north you just you know, you're digging snow to put your tent up So, you know, we're fortunate. It was nice. I had a great day Sorry, I couldn't get more footage for you. So I'm going in right now and look for my damn memory card It's somewhere And we'll have to check on some extra batteries because I was getting loves giving me a Hello battery Warning it starts beeping and it tows your battery critically low Yeah, I was just gonna let it run out and see what see what it did But I think I think it just starts to land.  Yeah So it blocks the sunlight so you can see your screen. So yeah, you need that I think it would help just extra accessories. We'll get as we go by the summer We should have everything get some good footage for you guys. So Tried today, but at least you got to see some treetops a little bit. Maybe some water I don't know what all I got So anyway guys, thanks for watching appreciate it Monkey says she's out for now y'all She bears admit the man a legend got for now. Bye. Bye guys. Take care
