This supernova star's shredded remains are called Cassiopeia A, or Cass A for short. Cass A is the youngest known supernova remnant in our Milky Way galaxy. The light from this exploding star reached Earth in the late 1600s. This photo shows the upper rim of the supernova remnant's expanding shell. The colors highlight parts of the debris where chemical elements are glowing. The dark blue fragments, for example, are richest in oxygen. The red material is rich in sulfur. These spitzer infrared space telescope images show shifting patterns of glowing dust beyond the remnant itself. These changes are so fast they indicate motion at the speed of light. These are light echoes, just like what we saw with the star Montserritos. The light from a supernova can take hundreds of years to reach surrounding dust clouds. Following the arrows of light, it's clear we'll see the supernova flash first. The light echoing off the dust clouds will arrive later, at various times, delayed by hundreds of years from the original flash. So we're not seeing the dust move near the speed of light. We're seeing the light from the supernova move through the dust. It's spitzer. They can detect the brief boost in the thermal infrared glow.


For some years, we have been seeing that the government policy towards higher education has been such that the grant that we are getting for the universities has been gradually reduced. And this has happened very drastically at the time of the current government also. But the root cause of this in my mind is that at one point of time in 2005, the government of India signed the GATS Treaty for higher education, in which there is a clause which says that to create favourable trade conditions for all the players from different countries, you have to reduce or completely remove the subsidy given to Indian universities. As a result of which continuously policies are being made in such a manner to reduce funding for the universities. This particular government has gone ahead at a very great speed and viciously crushed all dissent. The MHRD is imposing a tripartite MOU on all central universities. This memorandum of understanding, it basically allows the government to bypass the UGC which is an autonomous grant funding agency and it allows to take over the funding functions directly under its own sort of executive authority. And it also makes funding conditional, funding for public funded universities like due conditional upon certain performance evaluation targets that it will set for universities. Now these targets are really absurd because they are quantified targets meant to evaluate things that are basically qualitative. The policy is all that every level has started. Funds are not being released, the pensions are not being released, the allowances are not being released. Research grant has not come up. The travel grant for, you know, when you go for seminars, it has not been given. And this is happening in central universities which are in Delhi. I hope you can understand what is the state of the other universities. The government is trying to automate the 6 colleges in the D.U. Autonomous means that the government is saying to them that you can make slaves according to yourself, you can take exams, you can open new branches and you can do everything, but we won't give you money. This means that the public funded universities in the D.U. where the government would give you money, now it is being pushed in the direction of privatizing through this autonomous. They are asking the universities to take research grants from corporate sources through an extramural funding program. They are asking us to take loans for infrastructure from HEPA which basically raises funds from the capital markets and asks universities like ours to pledge our assets, our land, our building, all our intellectual resources as securities against the loans that we will be forced to take. Now this means that the students who are going to come to a place like D.U. are going to come to mottgaged buildings, they are going to study in mottgaged libraries, all of which are publicly owned. This is a sinister plan to eventually hand over publicly owned resources to private sector. One after the other brought certain regulations, cutting down the number of posts in universities, reducing funding through privatization in one form or the other. The latest is to force all central universities to sign a memorandum of understanding which says that we will take loans rather than grants. And to pay back those loans, we will show that we have the capacity to pay back the loans by immediately raising students fees. Now if we have to pay for infrastructure, for new posts and so on, then the students fees will be going into less, like it is in private universities. The immediate impact will be A, on the kind of students coming in, bulk of Indian 99% will not be able to afford higher education. They have to take steep loans which they may not be able to repay because they don't have any jobs coming up either. The second thing that was happening is that the content of education will change because those subjects which are not fetching high fees, which are not getting many takers who are willing to pay high fees, will slowly die down. So the humanities and the social sciences and language courses will suffer very badly. They are insisting that the university should commit to incremental hikes in student fees, which is, you know, it has happened earlier. We have forced them to push their agenda back, but they are bringing it in a new kind of way and trying to ensure that higher education becomes out of reach for poorer sections, especially for women. You know, at times in pay commission and other related issues, Duta takes a lead because it's in Delhi. And it is, you could say that since we are in Delhi, there is a locational advantage. And since media may even cover us, which may not be possible in other states. But a fight against privatisation and coming up with a solution will not be possible in Delhi. It will not be possible in Delhi. It will not be possible in Delhi. It will not be possible in other states. But a fight against privatisation and commercialisation of higher education cannot be only on the, you know, shoulders of the Duta. The overall implication of the tripartite MOU is privatisation and commercialisation. It is against the interests of the larger majority of people who want access to higher education, who want a modicum of equity just in the higher education system.

Came back to Joint Base Lewis McCord and then from there I was then PCS to Germany. So I was in Germany before, in Graphenbier. From there I decided to go into Civil Affairs. How did I get into fighting? So when I was young I played all sorts of sports and I had a really good friend of mine. His name was Naim Tadbunya and he was from Kosovo, he was a Kosovo Albanian and he was a very good boxer. So because of him I got into boxing, we started boxing together at St. Genesee and I really liked it, I enjoyed it. It was something that came easy to me, so I just continued with that. But then I wanted to expand on my fighting, I liked Muay Thai and stuff like that so I got into Muay Thai as well. Did that, my brothers they also trained so I had my brothers to train with, we would spar every day and that's how I got into it. That's actually the reason I came to America is because in Sweden at the time you could not fight professionally and fortunately I've been able to fight a few times in the military. Actually I fought in South Korea when I was there, I fought the heavyweight champion of Korea and I also fought Naturell Kim. He was the 2009 Grand Prix World Champion for kickboxing and I fought him in Taiwan when I was stationed in Korea so I was able to fly to Taiwan and fight there. How am I feeling going into the fight? It's my thought process about it so I just came here, just PCS to Germany and I didn't have a lot of time to really prepare for the fight. I do have a good background in fighting so the main disadvantage for me is just building up my stamina. So I know I'm going to be at a disadvantage but I'm hoping that my willpower will push through that so I'm just going to prepare as much as I can before the fight and go there do my best and hopefully I prevail. How are you feeling? Feel good? Excited? Nervous? I'm feeling relaxed. Anything kind of you're thinking about right now or no? Just focused on the fight. Satisfied with how the fight happened? I feel good about the fight, I kind of knew that my stamina wasn't there but that just means I'll be back for sure, I'm going to be back.

One note's going on in your world and the world of the S&P's, let's take a look at them. What do you have? Well, bottom line is that you have a lower market. You're gonna have some volume in here today. Let me take a look at this intraday. Let's go to this like a spy's intraday because the volatility's here. This is typical going into a holiday weekend. Bottom line, you're still building cause and folks you're building cause to finish this ABC structure on the way down. You can expect coming into the close, you can expect we're gonna go for the lows, might break the lows. That's how this thing is shaking out right now. So we'll see how the, you know, comes at four o'clock but that's my take and tomorrow's not gonna be a great day. That's the spy. We go in the end, in the X100, same type of setup. You can see it's only three o'clock in the afternoon and the bottom line. You already have the expansion inside the spy's. You're down 457, you're 279. We take a look at this intraday here and NQ's. Pull those NQ's up. What you're gonna see here, there we go. So NQ's same setup then. You're gonna go right after these lows. This last bar here, in fact, here. This is an ABC down now. You got an ABC down. So let me just see the top here. So the top, well the top was 696. The break is 547. There you go, you got 140. Gives you 430. That'd be right, 140, one second. Yeah, 430. So that's, yeah, you wouldn't be at the lows, you'd be right above them. Actually that bar right there, the bar when it came off. Bottom line, lower prices are coming at you. That's how this whole baby is shaking out. Gold, let's take a look at that gold market for a second because what you have with gold is this thing right now looks to me like we're gonna go into the 1700s. So if we take a look at gold right here, what you're gonna see is that we've done 191,000 contracts, okay? Your swing low, let me put this up here. Yeah, we got an expansion of volume. Yeah, the 1806 swing low only had 165,000 contracts. Let me go look at the GLD for a second. Just, I'm pulling the GLD up instead of stringing contracts together. The GLD last low is 7.3 million, we've already just 6.2. Yeah, it wants to break it, man. That's the real bottom line. And we get over to the good old US dollar. So the dollar out here, now what's intriguing out here today is this, you can see that the dollar got to a price point of 105,541. That being said, it couldn't hold price, but yeah, guess what? The market still can't hold price. That bottom line folks says quite a bit. We take this and we can put this on a monthly because we're finishing the month out today. And on a monthly, what we're looking at, let's see, let's look at this. Yeah, see as long as this trades over, stays over 103,820, bottom line, that's a break top side and it wants higher price. Some of the higher volume equities out here in the marketplace today, you have advanced micros down a buck and a half. You got Amazon off 350, Apple's down three bucks. You got Nvidia down four. We have Tesla down 14. Let's go take a look at Tesla for a second because what we're gonna have here, you're gonna see what's also happening now is that the battery structure is inside of all electric cars folks. The price points are going up pretty quickly. So Tesla has some volume. Now you got sideways move with Tesla today, really three bucks sideways move, but you got 26 million shares traded. That's a lot of shares traded coming into it. Now, notes and bonds. Let's go take a look at the note and bond market. You get a pop here. Like one of the big headlines today folks was that mortgage rates of 5.67%, the average is like, oh really? Yeah, if that's good news, guess what? We're in a whole different ball game. We take a look at the 10 year right now. Oh, this is, okay. So now it's not gonna be an ABC up, but the bottom line, you're taking a swing point out. You're taking a swing point out of 1808. You're at 118, 17. Bottom line though is that you're taking that out with 1.3 million versus 2.2 million. So yeah, I mean, can this thing run up to 120? Yeah, I can. The 10 year right now is trading 2.974. If we go into the Dow industrials, we take a look at the strength versus the weakness inside the Dow industrials. Point wise, what you're gonna see out here is you get positive. Travelers are putting 16 positive points. Procter and Gamble, six. Johnson and Johnson, one. Taken away from it. Sales force, minus 49. Goldman Sachs, 42. Caterpillar, 35. Microsoft, 30. Bottom line, you know, you got a lot of equities that are in the red. Stay right there, folks. Should we come right back?
