The Moon and the European Space Exploration really will hear why we should go back to the Moon after 44 years. And we are very pleased to have Jan Werner as our honored guest today this evening and he's the current Director General of the European Space Agency. He is also the former Chairman of the Executive Board of the German Aerospace Centre also known as DLR. And you would expect that he would be an aerospace engineer, but he started out as a civil engineer. For the Germans, that's called Bauingenieur. He got the Federal Cross of Merit First Class for his continuous engagement for young academics. And unfortunately to list all of his doctorates would really take too much time off of his limited talk time. So please give it up for Jan Werner. Yes, okay, no, no. You have to be quiet because they did not give me enough time. So you have to be quiet and I recommend you to listen and see and if possible do the whole lecture I will give to you in slow motion afterwards because otherwise I cannot do it in 30 minutes. So what is the return of investment of space? This is a question I get nearly every day. I hope not in this room, but I will answer it anyhow. And the question is, is return of investment always just the money? If you look into our universe, you know we have something like galaxies and the galaxies are rotating and according to all our theories which we know about Newton and about gravity, the speed at the outer part should be slower than in the inner part because otherwise the stars would escape. But observation showed that the speed at the outer part is exactly the same as in the inner part and we don't understand this effect and therefore we gave it a new name and we call it dark matter. So it's not something we really see, it's just an effect. So why I'm talking about this? Because there's another effect which is called dark matter, a dark energy. Dark energy, if you have a big bang and then the universe is expanding according to just the law of gravity, this velocity, the acceleration should decrease, the velocity should decrease and finally it should implode again. And for several billions of years, fortunate enough, the universe behaved like we thought but then it changed and now it's accelerating again. We don't know why, we have no clue about it and therefore we call it dark energy. Dark energy and dark matter is more than 95% of our universe so it's not a negligible part. But there are also some aspects even closer. In our solar system the scientists said, okay, let's prove that really Pluto is the last planet of our solar system, yeah, a planet, something, not a planet, okay, that's fine. But no, no, no, no, afterwards, afterwards, I have no time. So Pluto, the last, let's say, micro-planet or something like that and they tried to prove it with all their theory and suddenly they found there must be another planet. Nobody ever saw it but it seems that there is something outside of Pluto. We know the size, we don't know anything about it so all of this is an example of where we need curiosity. Curiosity is the strongest driver we have and we should not forget about it. Let's look to Albert Einstein. You know, of course, his theory of relativity. I have here the equation just that you remember it. And he said in the special theory of relativity, time is slowed down by velocity and in the general theory of relativity, time is slowed down by gravity.  What is the benefit to society? If you ask politicians you will get an easy answer. No meaning, everything is relative. This is the best sentence you can get. So now the question is, is it really just an academic idea without any consequence? If you look to satellite navigation, we have the satellites flying around the Earth really fast, really fast means there must be some effect on the timing and they are far away from the Earth. So the gravity of the Earth is much lower. There must be also some effect on the timing. And the navigation satellites are nothing more than really exact clocks. So if these two effects are there, then there should be an effect also on the navigational system. And in fact, without knowing this theory, you would have a mistake, an error of about 500 meters in one hour. That means let's be curious. Even we don't see a return of investment the next four weeks. Let's be curious because this is the main message also of exploration. We have, yeah, no, no, no, no, it's okay. We have, but we have also concrete aspects, global challenges we call them, like climate change, like migration, mobility, communication, energy, sources you can read all yourself. But there is again this curiosity. It's a different type of challenge. But it's the strongest driver which brought us out of the caves above the mountains in the next valley. Even we crossed the Atlantic Ocean, whether it was an advantage or not. I don't know. But anyhow we did it by that. And therefore curiosity is the strongest driver. And this strongest driver is now part of space in what I call space 4.0. This is a new generation of space where we look into commercialization, but also in participation with citizens in digitalization, information, innovation, interaction, inspiration and so on. And you see here what we at ESA are doing. We are covering all the different aspects. We are looking to earth observation, to navigation, to telecommunication, to science and exploration, to new launch assistance, but also reentry vehicles, to technology operations. We even look to space debris and meteorites. And we are looking to new technologies and also to things procurement with industry. So ESA is the European Space Agency. And as we are international with 22 member states within Europe plus Slovenia plus Canada, we are not part of the European Union. We are trying also to be a global player with all the different states around the globe. So we are with our international nature. We can play together with all the others as well. ESA is an agency not only, but it's also a broker, mediator and enabler for a global corporation in space. And space for us today is not only having a satellite and giving some data to the ground, but space is now something, a source of new information, also a source of new technologies. TeflonPan does not come from space, but other aspects. And we are now using also earthly technologies in space. So it's a totally new world which we are now covering. And what I said already is space 4.0 means also more participation with people, not only with politicians, not only with space agencies. And we tried this last year, no, this year to really discuss with different people from different countries. I will give you only a short example of that, what happened. So we did, can you do it a little bit louder? And you can switch off this slide. For me, space is a great life that we are trying to fill. Space, space is a quick mission. Space, the final frontier. You should know that one. So I could do it for half an hour, but then I would not be able to talk about more, so I will stop it over here. If you're interested in that, you can see it on our internet page. You can get all of these different nations and how the people are reacting. So we had more than 2,000 participants from 22 countries at the same time meeting in the different countries and discussed with them not only questionnaires or simple things like that, but really had a debate. And the results were very promising. I have here only a few of the results. I don't go to all of this. I go just to the last one because this one I was very surprised about. 81% said, exploit natural resources from space. This is a really very difficult question. Should we really go outside the Earth and get resources back to Earth? So we can discuss about that whenever you like. This is a very, very important question we have to answer. But you see also here a universe of possibilities and opportunities. Plays to be protected from polluting and potentially harmful human activities. So all of this was said with very high percentage. So out of this citizen debate, we got a lot of input and therefore participation is for me a very important thing. But now look to exploration. I said curiosity. I tried to explain to you why I believe that exploration is important. This is a sentence of a philosopher. It's much better than a civil engineer can say. We will not see this from exploration until we come back to where we came from and see the place for the first time. I don't understand it, but I think it's a very good sentence. And therefore I'm using it. Water. Water is something we are using day by day. Have you ever thought about water in detail? Only not only when you have to go to a restroom, but if you want to drink something. Water is very interesting. Water covers about more than 70% of our Earth's surface. It's transparent, which is not automatically. It's transparent. There is some anomaly of water, meaning that you have ice is lighter than water at about 4 degrees. We have special behavior between temperature and viscosity. It's not poisonous. It's tasteless. It's odorless. It has a high surface tension. There's a very special thing. You can have water with hydrogen. Or you can hydrogen have with another neutron at the core. Then you have deuterium. You can have two different types of water. Heavy water and light water. And you have many, many applications day by day. But the question is, where is the water from? Again, people would say, I don't care. We have 70% of the surface. This is enough for me. But as a curious person, I think, to ask the question, where does the water come from is an important question. And the scientists were discussing about it. And after long, long discussions, they said it comes from comets. Because comets are frozen material. And therefore, they planned a mission called Rosetta. You have heard about it to fly to the comet Juryomov-Gerasimenko. It took us 10 years to go there without any maintenance in between. No oil change or whatever. Of course, the software was updated a little bit. But the processor was more than 10 years old at the end. So it was really an old computer on board. And this is an environment which is much harsher than this nice concrete center. So therefore, it was really a very difficult thing. And finally, we landed on the comet on the 12th of November. And this is the selfie. This is the selfie. I was asked before landing, what is the probability that you will do this? And I said, I have no idea, because it's the very first time. And if you do something for the first time, you don't know about probability. In fact, we landed. And because of the small gravity, we were afraid that it will be pushed back. So it has some harpoons to keep it on the ground. Unfortunately, these harpoons did not work. It has a special engine to keep down. Unfortunately, this engine did not work. So it hopped up again, several hours, landed again, hopped again, and so on. So now I can tell you, we had more than three landings, and it's perfect. We can do first statistics of it. Now I will now, I need now your silence, because I will show you the noise during the first landing. This is just a repetition again. I like it very much, so we repeat again. Now I have it also in slow motion for you. So now this is, of course, not, there is no atmosphere, so it's the sound in the legs. And the reason we measured this was in order to get some input about the quality, about the surface toughness of this tiny comet. And by analyzing this noise, we can directly get some information. So now I mentioned about the water issue. Now we looked on this comet also about water. And the interesting thing was, yes, there was water and organic material. However, the ratio between heavy water and light water was totally and is totally different to the one we have on Earth. On Earth, it's more or less constant. This comet has a three times higher percentage of heavy water. So the question remains, where does the water come from? We don't know, maybe partly from these type of comets, maybe also from other comets. Now this is a very important movie to show a little bit the different cultures in different countries. Do you think that's good? Yes. Dead and hopped out and hopped. We did not know where it was. And we were very lucky. On the 5th of September, we found it finally over there in a very shadow place. And that was the reason that it did not could charge again its batteries. But it worked perfectly for the first 60 hours. And this was what we wanted to reach. And this is the last image of the main spacecraft, Rosetta, which you also finally touched down on the comet. So we got some additional information from the surface coming close to the surface. So I mentioned again Rosetta, Phile, and the comet. And these comets are dark as charcoal. So you need a very special camera to have an image of it, because it has even more than 50 shades of gray. And this camera technology was then developed also to use it on Earth for early fire detection. And this is something I can also always show to people asking for return of investment. I say, yes, because of this, everything is fine. I don't need this proof, but I hope you understand. Now we have also human spaceflight. And it was mentioned, the Apollo flights to the moon. That was race in space with the result. We all know the Americans were winning this race. But the robotic technologies of the Soviet Union was also rather impressive. And this is the most famous picture. I'm sure you know all of. You all know it. It shows Bas Alder and the second man on the moon. He was very angry that he could not be the first one. And so he always asked Neil Armstrong, take a photo, take a photo, take a photo. In this picture, you see here Neil Armstrong over there in the Vizier. And this picture was photoshopped by NASA. They were on the moon. Yes, I asked the NASA administrator, have you really been there? And he said it would have been much more expensive to keep all people silent. And therefore, they were there. But this picture is photoshopped, because NASA thought above this, there should be some dark sky. And unfortunately, Neil Armstrong had the picture closed over here. So there was something missing. And they finally put some plaque over it in order to show there is some black sky. Why do I know that? Very simply because of this. Oh, there. You see the antenna is missing over here. There is no antenna. And this is the reason it was photoshopped. But trust me, they were there. So in 2014, we had the Crimea crisis, which is still going on. And it's very important to see that space can overcome all of these problems or at least bridge it. And this is a picture directly after the Crimea conflict started. It shows an American and Russian and a European astronaut with a German accent, like me. It's Alexander Gerst. And they were sitting here.  This is my hand, by the way. I hope you can believe me. And they are here. They are now entering. All is good, Alex. Tschüss. Auf Wiedersehen. I should not say Tschüss. That's not so good. OK, then they started. That's marvelous to see that and to feel it in Russia or in Kazakhstan. And this was a place where they are going. It's the Americans, the Russians, the Japanese, the Europeans, and the Canadians in the International Space Station. Alexander Gerst, of course, did a lot of experiments. He looked also to Earth and reported about that. And the German journal said, this is not OK. He should not think about emotions. He should do research. But I think it's very nice if you show pictures like that. It's also nice if you show us pictures like that, saying there are explosions and bombing on Earth. It's not something we should do. I mean, consider an alien flying to the Earth and see what we are doing. I'm not so sure whether he or she would come friendly. Anyhow, you see, this is a picture I like also of Alexander Gerst. And then he landed. And this is what the Russians call a soft landing because you have to keep it with your soft part of your body. And you will see it. It's really harsh. But he was in good shape. And then the question was, how to get him home? And I asked the Americans, can we not bring him directly to Europe? And they said, yes. But Kazakhstan, no. We will fly from Kazakhstan to Scotland. You can come to Scotland and bring him to Europe. I said, fine. But they said, but you have to have a plane with intensive care. Where to get intensive care? I asked the German Air Force. The minister did not accept that because the taxpayers would not allow because of one astronaut that the plane is flying. So I looked for another one. And there is a so-called ADAC, the automobile club. And they have planes. So I called the president of that club and said, can you bring us Mr. Gerst to Europe? And he said, yes. If you allow us, then we publish it in our monthly journal, ADAC Motorwelt for the Germans. And this is one of the most famous journals. The other one comes from the pharmacies, Apothekenruanschau. So and then he said, I have a final question. Is he a member? And I could say, yes. He was brought back to Germany in this case, to Cologne. But where are we going in the next case? There should be no ultimate goal. Humans are always going further and further. Therefore, I think we should not talk about an ultimate goal. The Americans in NASA is right now saying, let's go to Mars. They say journey to Mars, which means more than a trip to Mars. But to go to Mars with humans is really difficult. It takes about two years to go there and coming back because of the different orbits of moon and Mars. And you see here some issues we have. To go to moon, you can do it during Christmas and New Year. So instead of going to Hamburg, you can also go to the moon. So there are some companies saying, OK, we must just make a one-way trip. I'm not in favor of that one. But we are right now with the European mission, exoMars. We are going to Mars but without humans. So it's a robotic mission. The first one was launched already and the second one should be launched in 2020. And one issue is to look for something like life because we found methane on Mars. And the question is, is it from a biological source or is it from other sources? And therefore we started this mission. And this was a launch in Kazakhstan. And I like this picture very much because this is the French, the head of the French agency, of the Italian agency, the myself, Russian space agency. At that time he was from the British space agency. So again, space is bridging all national problems and so on so we can do it. This was the first picture I was really happy about. That was the spacecraft flying towards Mars. And I was not sure whether it's in the right direction. But with that I was sure, OK, we are really going to Mars. And then we had this nice picture that was the idea of landing on Mars. So we have two spacecrafts. One is the so-called trace gas orbiters surrounding and orbiting Mars. And the other one is the test module which should enter into the atmosphere with a heat shield, then with a parachute, then the heat shield should be separated, then the parachute should be separated. Finally, some engines start. OK, you know the story. It was excellent until here. You see everything? Yes, yes, yes, yes. OK, we can forget about that. The problem was the spacecraft recognized that it's already underneath the surface. And then it makes no sense to have any longer a parachute. So it separated the parachute. And it makes no sense to have a long time for the engines. So they stopped also the engines, but it was still too high. So we had a little bit harsh landing. But everything is fine. We got good information. We have a good landing site. It's over here, you see? And we have not only one. We have several points, because we have the parachute over here, the heat shield over there, and the lander impact over there. We don't know what that is, but I'm sure this picture shows now that trace gas orbiter is really active. And this is the more scientific part of that one. So we got all the data from the landing procedure. And now we're getting also data from the surface. And the trace gas orbiter also was working as a relay station. So it worked perfectly. This was a press. Scabarelli mask crashed, making it two failed landing attempts from either. Very bad, very bad. We are. OK. You know another guy. This is Elon Musk. This was his third trial to land on a drone ship. Everything was fine until here. Everything was excellent. But then something was not excellent. And that was the end of this rocket. So now, OK, now the question is, what about the press? In this case, I mean, very similar. The satellite was in orbit, like our TGO. But during landing, something worked not perfectly. And this is the German newspaper I translated. It's SpaceX failed again with landing trial. Launcher absorbs crash landing. They are right. The Americans said a little bit better. Falcon 9 almost landing. And Elon Musk himself said, ship is fine. Minor repairs, exciting day. Now what are the goals for the future? Where to go? You know this village? What is a village? In a village, you have diverse interests. You have diverse actors. You have diverse activities, diverse calendars. But some joint idea to do something. This is number one, a village. Now you know what a village is. Now the second one is what is a concept? A concept is not a single project. It's not a fixed end-to-end plan. It's not a fully regulated installation, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But it defines interfaces where needed. And these two words, village and concept, these are now put together in the concept moon, surface operations. We are doing, we can do the international activities, human, robotic, public, private, exploration, pioneering, outreach and steam, science, technology, engineering, math, and arts. And we can do moon science. The moon is not really understood so far, but we can do moon science. We can do cosmology, especially if we go to the far side of the moon, which is not the dark side, like Pink Floyd. The far side is as bright as the side on our side. Fundamental research, technology, transportation, communication, logistics, we can do research management, planetarity, fence also, and a stepping stone. And this is, therefore, I call it a moon village with free and open access to everybody. No regulation at all. This is a picture. And I hope that this community supports me, that this should be, this astronauts, maybe is something which is also with Carl Scott. And I will show you. You see, he already has the right flags. Moon village is already in the public. It is the Americans are observing us. It is also the Federal Aviation Administration officially endorsed this moon village concept. There are some companies now arguing that they have the right architecture. This is a Scandinavian company. Some others believe we can use the moon for some other aspects. And you might really witness a long distance flight. The journey to Mars, is it in contradiction? Not at all, because if you want to go to Mars, you better make a pit stop at the moon village. And therefore, I hope, don't be, don't keep calm, but keep active and be a villager. Thank you very much for your attention. So, take me, Maitha, in. Thank you, Mr. Werner, for this awesome talk. And I think we have some time left for two questions, but only if you keep it very brief. So, first, no comments. Secondly, a question and maximum two sentences. Microphone one, please. OK, brief question. Yeah, what do you think will be the first piece of hardware that lands for the moon village on the moon? And maybe when? Yeah, so it will be a Monday, of course. That's easy.  It is that, worldwide, we have different actors. We have, in the part-time scientists, we have astrophobotics. We have people from all over the world. And most of them have some plan either to go next year or the year after to the moon. And I'm quite sure it will be some stuff I don't know. Maybe it's scientific. Maybe it's more to just to prove something. I have no idea. I'm ready. So, from ESA side, we are doing something together with the Russians. We call it lunar resource. We have also a moon project. But my idea is to have an open architecture. And I don't want to decide who comes first and second and so on. This is the past. So do we have a question from the internet? I think so far. OK, then please, microphone number three. Hi. Do we also work together with India and China? Of course. You see, the beauty of ESA is we have 22 member states, plus Canada, plus Slovenia, as I'm always quoting and saying and saying. And therefore, we have no problem at all to cooperate with different states around the world. And I think it's necessary. Don't forget about values. Don't forget about things you don't think are really good. But cooperation is a must for citizens on Earth. So I'm therefore I say just, of course. So we don't have any more time for questions now. But Havana told us that he's available if you have any questions to him for some more minutes at least. So yeah. I thank you if you allow me. It was really great to be here. It was the first time I think that I was invited. It was a great honor for me. And if you like, I come again. OK.


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Basil Chapman. Call now for free at 1-877-927-6648. Good morning, everyone, Basil Chapman on the seventh day of December. It's Thursday and we're looking at the Dow. It's the 10 o'clock Tiger... Oh, I missed the Tiger Financial News Network because I was so busy doing a whole bunch of things that I didn't realize the time had flown so quickly. Well, this is 10-06 and there you have it. So the Dow is up 8 at 36,060. I tried to rally a little bit earlier on and went to the 36,150. This is a really interesting moment. I'm going to do this right now. I meant to do it yesterday for my subscribers. I told them I would do it and then I would just go so busy with all the other things and questions that I had been asked. Two things. Number one is this past weekend just purely by chance we were at the Tesla showroom downtown Boston near the Prudential. I just happened to be there on the way to a play and I saw the Tesla place. I went in and they had the Tesla truck. Quite a few people looking around. It wasn't that many but it was enough.  I do not like sharp things. Ferrari went from round to sharp. All the Italian cars did that. I'm not keen on that at all. I love the roundness of automobiles. But it is clever. There's no question about it. It's really clever. One will get used to it. There's no question about it. But wow, it is big. It is really big and sharp, sharp edges.  All right, well that's that. I want to get that off the way to say I did see it. And I don't mind unusual at all. I like the contemporary design but I'm not a fan of sharp edges and this has got everywhere you look sharp edges. That's enough with that. Next thing is I promise I'd go through all different charts and show Chapman Wave support and resistance automated support levels. So I'll do that. So this is run the numbers now. So the Dow made a leg E at 36,292, just above the 36,150s high that was made five days ago. One, two, three, four, five days ago. And I usually do a vertical measure. In other words, I look to see what's happening here on the on balance volume. On balance volume, you get a real nice turnaround or right there that was on the right there. And that was on the first of, you remember we got that same turnaround on the first of August. The difference here is that the on balance volume went overboard but that MACD was still very, MACD was still very strong and I was way over the 14. So I didn't want to give any sell signal at all. That didn't meet my criteria. And what I was looking at was what would happen over the next few days when we make a modest new high.  Yeah. And in fact, what happened, that would make 35,000, under 35,600 really important if we get there. Okay, that's number one. Number two, I'm calling this a process using time rather than price so that you've even got that right here in the one-minute chart. Look at this one-minute chart. We're spiraling up to the 45, 79, 25 high and then it's kind of used up time but you can see the technicals are starting to weaken in the one-minute chart. So I'm anticipating something like that is probably going to happen here in the Dow. And I thought that if there was a short position taken here, this is the strongest index so far and I'd rather go for the weakest index or the weakest sector. So it didn't do anything there, but at this point I'm looking at some kind of a pullback. That's all I'm looking for right now to give me the clue that that's going to be a pretty sharp near-term pullback when it occurs because this strong leg in the weekly chart going from 32,327, almost 4,000 points to the upside is that's incredible. And being so close to an all-time high, I cannot ignore that that's going to become a magnet and attractive to the price if the Dow starts trading in the 36,590, 36,660 area. That's where I'm looking at it right. So that's the Dow. Now let's go to the S&P. I'm going to show this in the automated support resistance otherwise I'll forget if I do it now. Look, it's just sideways from the higher 45,99.39 and here you start to see some deterioration in the technicals and the stochastic finally has gone under 80%, but that nine-period, the technical indicator of last resort and I'll be talking about all these things when I do my webinar coming up on the 20th, coming up, now I can't remember if we did it on the 20th or 19th, coming up not this week but the following week. Talking about the sectors, sectors that have come off the bottom, sectors that are already well off the bottom, are they going to continue or have they had their move? What's going to be looking good for the first part of 2024? Just I want to go through those in great detail. So that's the webinar for my subscribers. Now the other thing we're looking at here is and what technical tools will really help us in assessing that and that would include looking at what we look at all the time like the nine-fourteen period moving average but it also include looking at the different time frames, the date, the week, and the monthly. So now what I'm looking at is the S&P is holding fine. It's just using up time. Is there a chance that there's a generally stochastic body? It just doesn't meet all the criteria. It's a little mini one, yes, it means you can have a little pop to the upside. But in the meantime, it's holding, let's just say it's holding really well. Look at the QQQ. So the QQQ trading right now at, this is the index 100, trading up 3.50 at 388.56. It's had a pullback and it's really struggling to really break towards the previous hour of 394.14 when I did the study of the vertical move with the MACD on the, that was December the 22nd, November the 22nd, and then December, no it was 11, and the 1129. Between those four days, you saw some technical deterioration but even here the nine is still over the 14. So there's internal strength and exactly at this point, see I almost forgot about it. I have to say that in terms of, in terms of my Chapman wave, those methodology ups and this is not the one I wanted, in terms of the dark news cloud cover, just think about it. We're here at recovery highs, some indexes, some either at or close to all-time highs, some major stocks at all-time highs or close, and the only thing that's negative right now has been that the dollar rallied.  Interest rates are coming down even though there's a little pop today. So the dark news cloud cover, every time we had it over there, all the way from November of 2022, it always resulted in a really sharp move to the downside. So I'm saying, I've got just a starter of that, just an inkling that there's something there that I can define it just slightly, but not enough to say, hey, the market just turned down. So let's go to the IWM, the IWM. Let's go to the IWM, I just hit the wrong thing. The IWM, as we go to the break, does appeal to 25 divergence. The IWM is pulling back a little bit.

Look how long from yesterday at four o'clock look how long and this is something I'll be discussing just very briefly in my webinar just because many of you do trade futures but I just wanted to say that this is narrow rectangle. Look how long it took when it finally broke slightly above and then it went below and all it was doing was trading with a low of 45.52 and a high of 45.58. That bar at four o'clock what it was just before, we have right at four defined an entire evening's worth of trading in the narrowest range until it did what I usually talk about there's a narrow rectangle, you use the midpoint line to see if it can break off they're going to a slightly higher recovery high and then if it takes out the low watch out for the bounces and then goes halfway into that rectangle and then holds it as support and the nine goes across as positive you can really have a nice move to the upside so that happened at 10 to five this morning I was up at 10 to five I actually was up just a little after that but look at this green green green green green and now we've gone to GSAS C and the left side right side price time match and I'll be talking about that in my webinar went to this candle I never expected it to do that but I drew it in and that was the candle 4582 and I had a doger there was a doger candle in the chapel inside wedge target resistance line we went almost to it and that line is just being hit right now outside right there so now we're getting to a point of that says okay maybe just watch this closely because you've raised your base of support in this to 4575 I just wanted to do that because I do know that there are a lot of people especially in the den doing that certain numbers so the IWM has held very well it went to a peak E we were wondering whether or not it was going to show leadership as a fading sector that has become not a leading sector but a way more positive one and that's really what I want to be talking about in just over a week's time because I think by then we're going to get a really good feeling to one of the characteristics aspects that I look at is what's my emotional feeling on the rally that's happened and that's just based on what I'm hearing what I'm looking at any nightly news how people talk about the market etc and I felt that the last three to five days of from about Wednesday of last week going into Monday of this week there was a really over emotional overbought situation in the general public but I still think a lot of people miss the big move to the upside so with that said that was part of what I'm looking at as a dark news cloud cover just to say on a shorter term basis but also on investors intelligence from what I understand there is quite a high percentage of bulls so that just says keep that in mind but don't use it as your trading thing in the very short term a lot can happen so it's good that the IWM was at 185.12 up one it says it's pushing it's trying to hold away from the 180 Georgia period exponential moving average the first time it's actually crossed and held above it for the first five sessions the last five sessions I should say that is really important it's a good side so within that context the weekly chart let's wait until tomorrow is closed but it is good but the monthly chart doesn't look good at all so that's the IWM so what I'm looking at here is let's go to the SMHs so the SMH is trading right now up 159.66 at 217 basically what it's saying is that that red candle from yesterday gave back but that nine period is still the 14 so we've been short I'd say aggressively short a small position we took some nice profits yesterday and I think we've just got stopped out for I raised the stuff from what we had and I put it just a tad under where we entered so on average property it's kind of a break-even trade more importantly or maybe just a friend I'd say break-even trade I haven't worked it out just yet but I'm watching this very closely because if the semiconductors start look they've used up time from the high that was made in November around about the 20 it was right on the 20th at 156.44 you got a peak C1 peak C2 that's slightly under it then almost like a peak C3 there from what would have been a peak D and yet you haven't gone that far down I said 155 is really the target that I'd be looking for and that's where we make decisions it never got they went to 150 156.56 but and the weekly chart is still strong so emotionally I'm saying to myself that was a spectacular move to the upside but if we don't using up time you've used up time to digest the gains it says there's internal strength that remains and that's the clue for me the 9 period over the 14 period moving average so we're watching that very closely so now just I've got those out the way I want to show you gold gold is pulling back through points at 2045 it did close above the left side low I didn't want to type it in it got too messy of 2038 in the continuous contract 2038.4 on the fourth and here it is at 2045 it's just it had a big move up that generally reverse red Roman Cantal says until it closes above the body and that in this case will be the opening price of 2094 this is a consolidation so I'm looking at gold and saying okay a couple of things are going on I don't want to talk about that now tomorrow maybe but there are a couple of things that are going on because the spectacular move that it made from the 1948 level up to the high and then coming back down is not unusual in gold I mean gold can have big moves up and then cool before you know big move down look at silver I like them to move in parallel and this is saying to me gold is in play but we have to wait for other reasons for it to start another move to the upside and silver sitting almost on this 200 period moving average I wanted to go to crude oil now crude oil I had said based on my work this we saw that in the dollar 102 was the level I was looking at is absolutely key support for the dollar based on my Chapman wave symmetry of a plum line in the middle using the number of bars on the left to go to that plum line sometimes it's the high sometimes it's the cup low after the high but in the meantime I typed in and said there's a chance that by the this is crude oil that by the 15th of somewhere around the 15th of December so that's next week crude oil might if it breaks under the support line this Chapman wave inside tracks support line of what depends when it is because it's a moving average 6680 in that 65 a lot of that was made multi-times but I used the one of the 20th of June of 6465 64 would be 6510 to 6430 it's kind of the target that I would have if it breaks that support and I'll show you automated Chapman wave levels of support and resistance it's December that means festivities decorating spending time with friends and family and the TFNN tiger dollar holiday sale don't miss your chance to

TFNN.com then hit watch Tiger TV that's TFNN.com then hit watch Tiger TV I've also talked about automated Chapman wave resistance and support levels look right here on the one minute I like to just show this as examples look at that you've got automated one minute 458775 and then 45876868 because it doesn't know about quarter point it moves it goes to the exact penny so that's the resistance automated and then this becomes an F right here it's almost like the Dow where you've got your slightly higher next peak you've got to make a decision but look the 9 is still way over the 14 the MACD is turning down the stochastic is now at 84% the 84 is still good and look at this if you use just this one tool which I unfortunately didn't do this morning I did a little bit but then I decided to try to anticipate don't anticipate look since it crossed positive it has a 5-minute chart about 4.40 this morning green 9-peered moving average would have kept you in the trade to this very minute from the 4555-ish area to 4587 and it's still green and it's going to a leg F in the 5-minute chart but that look the stochastic is at 94% MACD is good so it has to be a sudden very sharp pullback that changes the technicals to negative and GCC then with the chart every time I try to anticipate like that peak D there that's good well it was a nice move down but only briefly and it never went pink it's green and that's what I'm saying that's why I refrained for subscribers to say let's start short positions saying in the down with the S&P they just holding too strongly and we did that in the SMHs funnily enough the SMHs they are very weak but because this is a three times short position the move at the end of the day when it gets reconfigured takes it down very sharply over a period of few days so my stop should have been lower down but there's no use taking a risk I'll see what happens we can always get back in this is the weaker of all the sectors of this particular point but you can see the nine still hasn't gone negative so with that said here we go let's just go through I didn't do the TLT we'll do the TLT here so here's gold you can see that this right here so this is using slightly different techniques in this case this is the standard deviation that my late friend Herb did and look it's green yes prices pull back but the internals are saying there's still strength there until it turns red and turns down weekly chart same thing and the automated level says 2045 we're right there at this point is a support level and 2046 2043 in the 120 minute chart with 2053 resistance but in the big picture 2161 is where we went to and that's the resistance the next one is up with the 2 let me just move that away 2227 level so I just wanted to show you these here we go so now I'm going to do the TLT because the TLT still just a tad today but that's now support what was resistance 9369 is now support in Australia 98 what is that 95.20 it's red so it's a little difficult to see yeah and 9762 is automated weekly resistance 93 to 92 is a very strong support and at the very bottom I've got 83.94 is a key support and what did it actually go to it went to I should have remembered this 82.42 not bad 50 cents less than the automated let's look at now let's go through these INDU the Dow automated resistance 35644 it went above it in the weekly spiked above 35572 in the daily and there's a whole cluster in the monthly chart starting at 93 36000 290 in the 37,063 that we haven't got and sometimes these things become magnets to the upside that you're looking at it and you're saying can we get there well at this particular point at this particular point the monthly charts are saying there is resistance but it's it could act as a magnet as well as you go through each one it makes the next one a magnet if it isn't repelled so that says kind of room to the top S&P S&P hit the resistance right there cancel and we've got 4578 and it went high it went to the left oh wait no this is the daily so this is it's right in a congestion area a lot of resistance a lot of support 4626 is the weekly resistance and 4633 is the monthly resistance and the daily has 4533 as near-term support and then 4524 so through these I'm saying it makes sense that we're kind of stalling here look the QQQ's had so much resistance of the 391 to 397 area and now it's pulled back some is trading at 389 and 376 is key support and 387 and 399 are the weekly resistance 398 is the monthly and the short-term 382 so I want you to just show that looking at my automated levels and actually I use so many other techniques that this is something I just kind of glance at to say where are we it just says you can understand that a breather at this particular point is really important then I was asked if I would go through stocks like Boeing so let's do this yes Boeing leg you see what I'm saying we've gotten to a peak E there's no new height new recovery high today in Boeing that's the daily this is the same thing with that single leg A up about to challenge the last major high of 243.10 made the week of the 4th of August so excuse me in the daily charge you've got on balance one overboard but it's not really pulling back and the he said 95 that's a great sign this is go through them as I've written them down IBM one of my favorites that I didn't get in this last big move up and we chose Microsoft and said but look at this peak E and now it's had three days of just stalling there and this could be an instant restart but I'm calling it E for now leg E in the weekly and the monthly has made a recovery high the last time it was in this area was back there that was January of 2018 hit a high of 163 and yet it is trading at 160.75 so I wanted to go through a number of charts to say excuse me the daily charts are a little overboard the weekly charts are holding the fantastic move up over the past 5 6 weeks that's really impressive I'll be back

is brought to you by Vista Gold traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ just look at this the e-mini and I'm using this as example it's the same that we're seeing in the day it makes a difference what time frame look makes a little minitop here 458.50 right there's a fib number actually and then it starts to turn down but you've had to wait for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 10, 11 this is the 11th bar you see the S this is where you might see the 9 pre-moving average turn down and then you've got this automated 4582 support to take out and if it does that then you look at the weekly the middle chart is a five minute chart and that's made it two doji candle peaks at the top I just want to see what the fib number is right there I think that's a oops open up there it is oh I have to go all the way back let me just squeeze it squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze yeah that is oh that goes back to the oh gotta keep squeezing huh there we go another one another two it goes back too far it goes back to a few days ago yeah it does it goes back to a few days ago right there oh there it is it goes to that peak e-top that was made at 13 so that's one o'clock on the 1st of December at 4,000 oh 467.75 I remember that I got a shorter 4603.50 for a short period of time yeah I remember that so that is in fact a 76 right there percent resistance level we'll see what happens alright but in the meantime I'm just saying to you that I like if I can if I follow my rules the rules say wait for the 9th for you to confirm that it's turned down and the wider the space between the two moving averages the 9 of 14 the greater the chances are it will accelerate to the downside when you've got an automated support level like you do right here it's going to take a little bit unless it smashes right through it immediately it's going to take a little bit for it to do that but right now and with a little dodgy camera 10-minute chart this is where you'd look now I'm just I'm applying the same thing to where we are in the in the general market look here is the yes IBM is holding steady and the 90s way over the 14 so it'll take days or very sharp sudden move down maybe tomorrow's the jobs number whatever it is coming out tomorrow maybe that does it but it's going to need this dark news sitting across the market sitting in the overhang with this cloud just ready to pull down just a hail everything has to come down for it to really change what we're looking at right now which is a high level consolidation so let's just keep on now I'm going to run through them so CRM so IBM is at a peak E CRM is at a peak E at 263.43 digesting the gains Caterpillar I mean these are down starts Caterpillar peak E pulling back a little bit Honeywell all around it's just everywhere Honeywell peak a leg after the upside could be an instant restart but it's just started to slow down a little bit on this upside move but it is at an F here we go oh triple M what a nice move triple M has had from the bottom well it's starting at the 200 period moving average at a peak E nothing negative yet but it's starting right there hugging the 200 period moving average so I did that did that oh CME this is the one that I I can't believe it out of all of these this is the one that I said you know this is the one that could be a short I even looked at I put option you yourself too thinly here for your subscribers although I think they might have loved it it went from I saw this in today yesterday so it went from about 216 to today's low of 209 and here it is at 211 but this is interesting this is a CME group Mercantile Exchange so and even if the brokers look at the Schwab Schwab has gone to a leg E this could be a peak E little quick very quick D to E when you get a quick D to E either you're going to get an instant restart or you're going to get a bit of a pullback not a major sell just a bit of a pullback so I don't know if they go through them all but I do want to go through AZO he has a AZO his order zone holding almost all time highs Sintas this is the overalls uniform rentals holding from that peak E gone sideways using time rather than price what do I mean by time rather than price I mean this right here we've been talking about it live and there it is what did I say the resistance at 4582 is there so it's the support and the ninth period did go pink but the wider the move because why the gap is the aperture between green and black when it was going up the E many back at about 1015 and now look it's still narrow so to get it wide you have to have price decline you got to break these levels they become support but they'll become targets if there's one more pullback then probably you'll pierce that but look at this time that it's taking look at the green ninth period moving average in the weekly so I keep saying weekly but it's the 5 minute chart I think of them as 1510 is daily weekly monthly so look isn't that I mean would you have thought that after all this from the 1020 I remember 1020 to to 1245 one o'clock usually that's another phase of the day and look at this you've gone sideways for 1234567 for about 35 bars 35 minutes it's gone sideways but I just wanted to show you that the certain technical aspects that can really help you in terms of timing so I did want to go through that let's look at Nvidia so Nvidia is now being talked down because advanced micro devices has got a new chip coming out but you know what it's for next year so anything that happens right now you're anticipating next year I think that's a little bit carried away that's the reason why I say I think the SMH's are still kind of struggling here we're going to be watching closely in the meantime back at the ranch there's your Nvidia up 8 at 463 and advanced micro devices which is the big challenger is up big up 8 at 12628 so once again what I'm looking at is with insectis you've got some stocks it's actually just a handful that have really been lifting up certain sectors so for that said I want to see if there's a question I think there's two questions that have come in could I look at fang yep fang fang and that is a diamond back you know that I used to have these all notated trading right on the 200 period it's been actually moving out alright we'll be back in a moment 1028 S&P's up 30 and we still haven't broken that 2582 level this is that amazing I'll be back in a moment 1028 get ready Tigers Thursday December 14th Tim Ord is back to host another stellar live webinar from 4pm to 530pm Eastern time Tim Ord will

minutes in a sideways range now it's starting to weaken a little bit weaken a little bit but it hasn't weakened yet still holding in the five-minute chart alright question came in about FANG FANG is Diamondback Energy I would prefer to do something tomorrow I want to do a little bit more work it's sitting on the 200 period moving average I don't think I would I wouldn't touch it right now gap down it hasn't actually been able to go above the high or below the low so it's sitting on the 200 period I think it's stuck here for a little while within a trading range so I wouldn't do anything yes I did do the crude oil and I have a target of 65 to 64 by December the 15th I don't know if that's going to work but it worked for the dollar oh I didn't even do the dollar today look so the dollar the dollar is down quite sharply down 39 ticks at 1 in 379 but that was my target it went just under it but to the day and that was my target right there 102.94 it went to 102.47 alright and now right stalled at the 200 period moving average look at the USDJPY and they usually go in the same direction but look at this plummets right right to the 200 period moving average at 144 and if you look at the oh that's the bell the bell is wrong sorry about that so we'll do a lot more tomorrow coming up not this week coming but the next week check it out should be real timing wise it's going to be just great for some of the pullback to succeed and new buying coming in and thank you for


everyone, and welcome to the WordPress Briefing, the podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. I'm your host, Josepha Hayden-Champosi. Here we go. Today's briefing topic is going to take a bit of a back-to-basics look at block patterns. Block patterns are one of my favorite enhancements that came through the Gutenberg project, and they're pretty much exactly what they sound like, groups of blocks that are arranged together. These patterns can be as simple as a block that holds a series of social sharing icons, but they can also be as complex as an entire landing page, complete with a call to action and interactive gallery. They can be used as a starting point where you activate an entire pattern and then modify the pieces that don't quite work for you, or as a sort of inspirational catalog of design elements for you to build your own patterns from. So where do these block patterns come from? Who created them? As with most things in WordPress, the answer is lots of places. Some patterns are included with WordPress by default, and there are also sometimes specialized block patterns that are bundled with a particular theme or plugin. There's also a pattern library that includes both curated block patterns and all the patterns that are created and shared by the WordPress community itself. So from the CMS, from themes, from plugins, from designers, from hobbyists, from people who just like love creating things and putting it out in the world, that's where those patterns come from. But you can also create and curate your own block patterns, either to share back to the community as some folks do, or because you are a site administrator and everyone needs to be able to add, I don't know, an author block or something, but you don't always want to be the one that has to put the photo on the page. There are a few blocks that have their patterns built into settings, most notably the query loop block. I'll share a tutorial about how to work with that in the show notes, but ultimately what's important to remember here is that block patterns are a really powerful tool with a lot of ways to implement them. You can start as simple as you want or as complex as you want, but either way, getting familiar with this concept in the software will give you a leg up on your next project. That brings us now to our small list of big things. First up, the annual survey is available. Each year the WordPress community, so users, site builders, extenders, contributors, artists, you all provide valuable feedback through an annual survey. And every year I look into the results to get a sense for what areas need the most attention in the project. So click the link in the show notes to take the 2023 survey and help co-create WordPress. The next thing on our small list of big things is WordCamp Asia is currently searching for volunteers for the upcoming event on March 7th through 9th, 2024. They're looking for contributor stories, event volunteers, MC support, AV team crew, and even designers to help create the official WAPU for the event. I'll include a link to applications for that in the show notes as well. And finally, I think it's important to mention that if you don't really know what a WordCamp is so you don't really understand why you should volunteer to help this one or why you would want to, then head over to your local meetup. If you look in your WordPress dashboard, there's a widget in there that tells you when the next local event will be, and I know that they will all be delighted to have you there. And who knows, maybe your city will be the next to host a WordCamp. I'll also include in the show notes just a list of all of the meetup groups that we have in the world.  And that, my friends, is your small list of big things. Thanks for tuning in today for the WordPress briefing.

Thank you, Mayor Rumi. Thank you, Dan, for that great introduction and all your incredible leadership and the vision that you're sharing from Maple Ridge as being part of the future that Canada is building every single day. I am always happy to be back in British Columbia, a place that has long been a leader in understanding that growing the economy and protecting the environment have to go together. It's great to be here with our ministers, François Philippe, Jonathan Terry, and our outstanding BCMPs to talk about what we're doing to keep our air clean and to secure good middle-class jobs in a growing clean economy. Premier Ebe and Minister Brenda Bailey, thank you for being here alongside some of your colleagues. David, we're here to talk about creating jobs and growing the economy, but we continue to collaborate on so many other issues as well, such as housing. This week, our government is unlocking loans to help build nearly 12,000 new apartments right across the country, including here in BC, but it's always great to see you, to work with you for the future of British Columbians and indeed all Canadians. I know from the years that I spent living out here and my deep roots in BC, you can see the future a little more clearly from BC than from just about any other part of the country. Nelson Chang, Chairman of E1 Moly Energy and all the great workers here at E1 Moly, thank you for being here, but thank you as well for the incredible work and efforts that got us to this place where we can make this exciting announcement that is going to be shaping not just the future of Canada's economy, but of the global economy. What you've been able to build here over the past decades is more relevant now than one could ever imagine and is part of the exciting future we're building and I'm really looking forward to talking about that. But first, I need to acknowledge and take a moment to recognize that the remains of Vivian Silver were identified yesterday in Israel. Originally thought to have been taken hostage, Vivian was killed by Hamas in the terror attacks on October 7. Last month, I had the chance to meet with one of her sons and I learned of her warmth, her compassion and her lifelong commitment to building bridges between Israelis and Palestinians. Vivian dedicated her life to peace and a bright light was extinguished on October 7. Her courage, commitment and compassion exemplifies what it means to be a Canadian, what it means to be engaged in the world in positive ways. She will be deeply missed. May her memory be a blessing. Today, I can also confirm that over 350 Canadians and their family members have now been able to safely leave Gaza. We're working tirelessly and will not stop until we're able to secure the departure of the remaining Canadians. Supporting Canadian citizens and permanent residents continues to be our top priority. The human tragedy that is unfolding in Gaza is heart-wrenching, especially the suffering we see in and around the Al-Shifa Hospital. I have been clear that the price of justice cannot be the continued suffering of all Palestinian civilians. Even wars have rules. All innocent life is equal in worth, Israeli and Palestinian. I urge the government of Israel to exercise maximum restraint as the world is watching on TV, on social media. We're hearing the testimonies of doctors, family members, survivors, kids who've lost their parents. The world is witnessing this, the killing of women and children, of babies. This has to stop. For weeks, we've been calling now for a sustained humanitarian pause and unimpeded access to humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians. We're all deeply concerned about the access to humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians. We're all deeply concerned about reports that the UN may not be able to provide continued assistance. And Hamas, Hamas needs to stop using Palestinians as human shields. They need to release all hostages immediately and unconditionally. Hamas has said that they would commit horrors like October 7th over and over again.  So right now we need the violence to stop, urgently, so that Palestinians can get access to life-saving medical services, food, fuel and water, so that all hostages can be released, so that all Canadians and other nationals can leave Gaza. We hope that a sustained pause in the violence can help create the conditions for lasting peace. A peace where, through renewed efforts to achieve a two-state solution, Israelis and Palestinians can live side-by-side in dignity and security. And by the end of the conflict with the Middle East, I want to come back to what we saw here in Canada in the last few days. Anti-Semitic attacks in Montreal, among others, are absolutely unacceptable. The terrifying acts of anti-Semitic violence in Montreal, my other hometown, or elsewhere across this country, needs to stop. No parent should ever have to tell their child that their school was shot at. No rabbi should have to explain to their congregation that their synagogue was attacked. Anti-Semitism, in any form, is unacceptable, everywhere. The RCMP is collaborating with local authorities in Montreal and in Quebec, and we're ready to offer more resources. Dans ces temps difficiles, on ne peut pas oublier qui nous sommes, on ne peut pas oublier nos valeurs. On doit être là, les uns pour les autres. In these most difficult of times, all Canadians need to remember who we are, what values we stand for. And regardless of the hurt and the grief that we may be feeling, we have to be there for our fellow Canadians. It's the only way we make through this, not just as a country, but as a world, by remembering who we are. It is great, really great, to be back here today in Maple Ridge. Today's an important day for the local community, for BC, and for the clean, strong economy we're building right across the country. E1 MOLI has picked Maple Ridge to build a major lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing facility. This investment will create up to 350 great new jobs and secure over 100 existing positions. This is great news, but it's not exactly surprising news, because E1 MOLI has been a long time employer and leader here in Maple Ridge, indeed right across BC and Canada. So they know that the workers here are skilled, reliable, and always ready to step up and innovate. They know that BC has a clean energy supply, and that Canada has essential resources that go into clean tech like batteries. And they know that our government has been working hard since 2015 to build up a whole clean tech ecosystem, from investment tax credits for manufacturing, to a critical minerals strategy to support for workers and their families, like $10 a day child care and dental care. The investments that have been made since 2015 to position Canada as a world leader in clean energy will ensure good jobs for our communities and for future generations. Whether it's with E1 MOLI, Volkswagen, NorthVault, Rio Tinto, and many others, our government is here to work in partnership to advance projects quickly and to attract international investments. And we know this new E1 MOLI facility here in Maple Ridge will produce up to 135 million battery cells per year and become the largest factory in Canada for high performance lithium ion battery cells. This means great middle class jobs, great middle class careers for years to come and clean made in Canada batteries for tools used in sectors like construction and healthcare. This is where the puck is going. This is the future we are building together every single day. The climate policy is economic policy. Our government gets it, the people here get it, and the thousands of workers with good paying jobs that will last generations because of this vision, they get it too. Everything we do is to secure the promise of Canada, that promise that every generation gets to succeed even better than the generation before. That's the promise that built this country, that's the hard work of generations creating a better future every step of the way. And we know global factors all around us are threatening that promise not just for Canadians but for everyone around the world. But we know here in Canada how to roll up our sleeves, how to innovate, how to see where the future is going and be part of it. That's what E1 MOLI is doing here in Canada. That's what companies and workers right across the country are busy building. We are sure that every day that the promise of Canada is to create good jobs while fighting against climate change, because the fight against climate change and the economy go together. Canada now ranks second in the world when it comes to the battery supply chain. We are ready to be the reliable supplier of clean energy that a net zero world will need. That's because of our relentless efforts all together over the past eight years. So let's continue on this path. Canada is the best country in the world. Let's keep working every day to make it even better.

As part of the 16 days of activism to end violence against women and girls, Oxfam Nigeria is taking the advocacy to secondary schools in Abuja as a way to create awareness among girls. Plus TV news correspondent Immanuel Hijine completes the report. With a bold headline enough to capture the moment and send a message against discrimination against the girl child, Oxfam Nigeria joined other NGOs and CSOs in sensitizing students in secondary schools on the need to end violence against women and girls. The group seeks to ensure gender justice in the country by creating an environment where both the male and female child will be treated equally in all spheres of life. The program manager explains why her organization decided to target the schools and how Ms. Dolakbo Balogun was selected as winner of the Gender Justice Challenge. Some of the girls that participated in the challenge setting there are two minutes to recording so that was what we actually requested from them okay that they should tell us about what it meant to be a girl child in Nigeria. So they came up so we add some so they came up with two minutes some recording which was sent to the official email address which was created for this challenge and then we came up with some groups we last see some groups so we and it's where some of our staffs that actually assessed the videos before coming up with the winner. The occasion also afforded the students the opportunity to relay their experiences as girls in the world dominated by men. Sidelined girls thinking that the only rule is just to come to this world give birth take care of children they don't really they feel like they don't girls are not supposed to have ambitions like in the olden days girls don't go to school like I have like my like I have people that I know that they did not go to school in the olden days so that's why most of the old women we see they are not educated because back in those days it was only the male child that he paid school fees for to go to school. This program has been established to boost up young girls to empower them and to make them know their rights and to make them feel less of themselves feel more of themselves. So there was a time I do sport a lot so there was a time I wanted to go for a race competition for my school but they were like oh no they can only allow boys to go and I was like oh that's not fair that why can't they allow girls to go so I personally I took it up to some of my classmates so we went to the PhD teacher to the coach and we suggested that girls should be allowed to go to so we actually went yes. It is good for girls to be the leaders the girls shouldn't keep their self-load they should always take charges and they shouldn't be influenced by what boys the male says. When we came out for sports the boys wanted to play football and then I said I want to play football too and they said no I cannot play I don't know how to play because I'm a girl and I told them that no what a boy can do a girl can also do it better so I went to the teacher to report and the teacher said okay it's fine I should play football if I want to. The organizers believe that this advocacy will further support the government to take the issue of gender discrimination against the girl child seriously and take necessary actions to eradicate it.

In honor of Valentine's Day I thought it would be a great time to talk about healthy relationships so I am going to see if my beautiful girlfriend and I, Tristan, have a healthy relationship. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health. Typically what I do is pull topics from the YouTube community to try to teach you how to improve your mental and emotional well-being but I talk about mental health in general and mental awareness and all that other stuff so make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. Yes it is Valentine's Day I have been with my beautiful amazing girlfriend Tristan for a little over two years now so I'm surprising her with this video but I hope all of you can take a look at this and see what a healthy relationship looks like. I talk a lot about unhealthy relationships and with the Shane Dawson, Brittany Louise Taylor story I've talked about science to look for of you know abusive relationships and all that but this is actually the equality wheel which you should look at to see if you have a healthy relationship all right so whether you're single or you're in a relationship this video should be beneficial to you all right so I'm going to be analyzing my relationship and going through these things I'll be what 100% honest with you and let's see what's going on so this first section I'm going to start at the top right and work my way in a clockwise type of motion all right so open communication being able to express your feelings or opinions knowing it's okay to disagree saying what you mean and meaning what you say yes yes yes yeah this is something awesome about our relationship is that we can disagree on stuff and that's cool like that's okay and sometimes like we both get a little sassy with each other but we still respect each other when we have disagreements and eventually we just get to a point like okay you like this I like that that's totally cool and it's it's on just certain things that we have different views or different opinions maybe it's even on the content that I'm going to make or whatever and sometimes I put it up and sometimes she's right sometimes I'm right but that's totally cool and like that's what I love too because like just disagreeing on something doesn't escalate into this huge thing I get used to when I used to be on unhealthy relationships intimacy respecting your partner's boundaries respecting each other's privacy not pressuring your partner being faithful all right well being faithful heck yeah well Tristan you better be being faithful girl no but um respecting each other's boundaries and privacy like man it's so nice being in a trusting relationship like where I don't gotta worry about her going through my phone I'm not trying to like get into her phone and seeing what's going on and all of that like we don't have to do that but we also give each other space when we need it too and like a lot of people and you know like we're like oh my god are you gonna be okay living with each other and like we're able to take time to ourselves while also spending time with each other physical affection holding hands hugging kissing sitting or standing with your arm on your partner's shoulder respecting each other's uh right to say no asking before acting yeah yeah it's pretty pretty good there um physical affection yeah like we cuddle on the couch and stuff or you know out in public and you know like we're not like one of those couples who does like a ton of pda like I don't know I think that would make us both kind of uncomfortable um but yeah we have no problems showing each other affection or hugging or holding hands or you know whatever it is fairness and negotiation accepting change being willing to compromise working to find solutions that are agreeable to both people agreeing to disagree sometimes so yeah the agreeing to disagree that kind of goes back to the open communication but yeah accepting change and being willing to compromise like that's huge for for the relationship like I I've been in unhealthy relationships where it was like keeping score and it was like who won and you know like you you know what relationship I'm talking about but we're both willing to change and adapt to things you know we're both pretty laid back and we like don't let like things like just completely knock us off guard or like knock us off the track like don't get me wrong we've had stresses like moving is a huge stressor like we're both stressed during that but like things change and we adapt and like I think the important thing there is to be there for one another because sometimes things change in her life and what she has going on sometimes things change in my life and what I have going on and we both support one another and then when something changes for the both of us like we're there to like calm each other down and focus on the solution because you know that's what we do shared responsibility making decisions together uh splitting or alternating the cost on dates doing things for each other going places you both enjoy giving as much as you receive so yes yes yes yes like we like we don't make decisions without each other like sometimes she even looks at me like I'm dumb like I'll be like hey are you cool with this and she's like yeah why'd you even ask me that right but we make decisions together and what else did this say splitting costs alternate yeah like one of the things I talked about in a video before we moved in together I was like how do you guys manage your finances so we like we we have our bills split you know um we'll alternate on groceries sometimes and all that and then like doing things for one another today she actually surprised me by getting me like one of my favorite drinks I posted the instagram story one of my favorite drinks from a coffee shop here and it was a red velvet mocha and like I totally wasn't even expected it she just like surprised me with it it was actually a funny conversation so real quick story she's like hey you're gonna be home for a little bit uh listen for the door I'm like why is there a package like what's happening like I get anxious like I get crazy thoughts in my head like I'm well but I'm still a little sick you know I'm like you're like hiring a hitman to come murder me and she's like wouldn't tell me what it was so I get the knock at the door I'm like all right please please please please you know and I thought it was gonna be a package for her but now she surprised me with a little red velvet mocha respect paying attention to your partner even when your friends are around valuing your partner's opinions even if a difference differs from yours listening to what your partner has to say well neither of us really hang out with people so I guess we're cool now um Tristan is from northern California she moved down to Las Vegas um a few years ago and like I have friends but we don't hang out all the time but yeah like when we're around friends like a lot of my friends like absolutely love Tristan and we just went a couple weeks ago to another friend's like kind of like charity show um it was like an animal charity benefit show but yeah Tristan gets along great with my friends you know um they're respectful to her she's respectful to them but yeah this going back to like respecting each other's opinions and stuff like I get that like I respect like I know Tristan has had all of her life experiences that have turned her into the amazing woman that she is I have mine you know and we just have different views on things but one of the things is and I've said this um for all the single people out there like dating like like some people are looking for someone who's like a carbon copy of themselves likes all the same things like one of the things I love about Tristan and our relationship is like we do have different opinions on different things we have different likes and dislikes and I get to learn and grow through our relationship like she's introduced me to things she's helped expand my mind on different topics and all of that so I absolutely love that trust and support being supportive wanting the best for your partner knowing your partner likes you offering encouragement when necessary being okay with your partner having different friends yeah absolutely like that's one of the things like man oh now I'm gonna get choked up Tristan has been with me since day one of this youtube thing that I've been doing and she's been fully supportive of what I do and my mission like she's going to school right now for social work and everything so she's you know really passionate about mental health as well but like she saw like my early struggles my early complaints my early whining like all of you small creators out there like you know um and she was there to help me keep my head on straight she's there to keep me in check you know keep my ego in check and all of those things but she supported me this entire time and I wouldn't be where I am with this channel reaching out to all of you without her support but also Tristan went back to school this last year she started this last fall and I was there to support her and encourage her you know their stresses with going back to school and all of that you know whatever but I I feel I feel that I did a pretty good job supporting her in that as well and then like knowing your partner likes you like I think she likes me honesty and responsibility not making excuses for your partners or for your actions admitting when you are wrong keeping your word not canceling plans so yeah yeah absolutely like this one this one's huge like we we have a good relationship like she calls me out on my crap now there are times when I'm having like a rough day or whatever like because I love when people call me out of my crap I need people to call me out of my crap but sometimes it's a really bad day I'm like listen I just I just need a minute but she has no problem calling me out on that and that's what's funny too because sometimes like Tristan will defend me in my youtube comments or whatever and people like oh that's just his girlfriend like yo trust me if I was screwing up the first person I would hear it from was Tristan you guys have no idea how many videos I have not made because Tristan was the logical one in the situation and explained to me that that would be a bad idea right and like admitting when you're wrong that's something I absolutely love about her like this this sounds crazy but any of you who have been in abusive relationships like I was in a lot of emotionally abusive relationships and things like that and an ongoing theme with all of my previous girlfriends was that no matter how awful they were to me I like I could never expect an apology I could never expect them to admit they're wrong or anything like that and Tristan and I have barely been in any fight since we've dated over the last two years I think a lot of it is because of all the other work we're putting in but anyways on the few occasions when we've had like you know get upset or whatever like she actually apologizes and I I do the same and it feels really really good because I've been in relationships where I'm the one who's always apologizing and you know and all of that and I'm meeting being made to feel like everything I'm doing is wrong and all that so like it's nice to have somebody there where if something does you know escalate like we could both say yo I'm sorry I was worked up and you know all that so anyways this wasn't really a test but like this is the equality wheel and I think that's one of the reasons why we have such a healthy relationship and things have been going so amazing for the last two years that's one of the reasons why we moved in together and it wasn't this massive change because we respect each other and you know we have this like equality going on and you know we admit when we're wrong and all that so Tristan I love you girl you know that and yeah we're gonna do some cool stuff today so I hope all of you are having a happy Valentine's Day if you're single if you're alone on Valentine's Day ain't no thing baby that's another thing by the way both me and Tristan and myself we stayed single for a long time before we met each other all right because we were waiting for the right person okay most of you out there who are single don't be bummed out that typically just means that you got standards and that's awesome if you're lonely get a cat or come hang out in the rewired soul um facebook group or discord server a ton of sore port in there all right even though you're feeling lonely you are never alone all right but anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon you are all amazing and if you would like to sign up and be a patron uh get involved in our q and a this month click or tap right there thanks so much
