Hey stampers welcome to another week of watch it weekly Wednesday. I'm Beth part of the stamping Jill creative team I'm gonna show you how you can take some things you probably already have in your stamp collection or things that are easy to find To make some quick simple cards using just stamps ink and paper. I Love in the new catalog some of the new products and when I first went through it There were a few that jumped out at me and I thought I can't wait to get my hands on them One of them was this stamp set create with friends Now this is a photopolymer stamp set Which I love love that you can see through the stamp So when you're going to stamp you can line it up very well because you don't have that blind spot of the red rubber I also love that stamping up has now printed on the inside of our stamp cases the The stamp image so you can directly place them onto your stamp Case and it's just that extra little bit of organization, which I love love love So this has been a really fun stamp set to play with you can kind of do pairings of different fonts and make different sayings So these I love a good sentiment stamp set that is really versatile and I feel like this is one of those and I also loved That in the wild designer series paper. I just thought the colors were so fun I love jewel tones and regal tones and so these kind of jumped out at me a lot of the Prints in this paper right now are so on trend and so fun I just thought it was so cute and of course all of our designer series paper Coordinates with each other and they're double-sided and so you've got prints on both sides You can utilize with colors and patterns that work well with each other. So it's easy to combine them. I also love Our new in colors We have five new colors that are going to last with us for the next couple of years and my favorite out of the five is Evening evergreen. I love green It's my favorite color and I love when we have a really good neutral green that can go with so many different things So this one was one of my favorites, too I wanted to take these three Simple products and make some cards the thing about this is even if you don't have these exact same products that I have You can take the layouts that I use for these cards and replicate them You probably have designer series paper sitting at home You probably have a really great sentiment stamp set and a basic ink pad These are things that you can take and you can replicate and make them your own So let me show you the cards that I came up with I first made this one. You're amazing It's really basic just a regular card size I added another little piece of designer series paper as a little bit of a peek-a-boo right there underneath the sentiment I just did you're amazing So simple so easy basic You could recreate this with so many different designer series papers Then I thought of my dear dear friend Marianne who loves leopard print She's really big into leopard print and she's just so cute when she wears it So I love the mixing of these patterns and colors and I had to build best friends forever Because it made me think of her and I thought it was just so fun Really simple again. You could recreate this with multiple designer series papers It's a really simple layout that was really easy to make I had to get some of the big cats on there. So I chose this piece I really like the contrast with the crushed curry and this new soft succulent color Really really pretty. Let's celebrate. I thought that was a good little sentiment as well just easy and fun And some more big cats Love you with those big cats The nice thing about our designer series paper is it does so much of the work for us We just have to layer it on and put some cute things with it and it works out great Okay, so I know this is really a simple idea But sometimes we just need some great inspiration to use the products that we already have So if you have products like these at home that you can make these cards with go grab them and start creating These layouts will work with a lot of things you already have on hand But if you love this designer series paper and this new stamp set run to our online store at stampingjill.com And you can order them now. We're so glad that you're here with us I hope you subscribe to our channel so you won't miss any watch it weekly wednesdays or other videos that we post And we'll see you next week for another watch it weekly wednesday


Good morning everybody, welcome back to another stream. How do you guys are doing great? Well, first of all, let's get started yesterday. I mean, well Friday rather with a pretty decent day Nothing so coming in From from anything really everything pretty much just So I mean you can see where we sort of opened in here we had that massive sort of day Nice little retest on that sort of a nice Deeper candle here Then we sort of pushed out and pinned to the sort of ten o'clock bar here. Nice little just aside Even if you miss that ten o'clock bar, we look for always. There's a nice little Top here and it pushes on into Asia. Good morning and Then Saturday Sunday a bit of a mixed bag But ended up just sort of consolidating for the most part and trading high and taking out liquidity for them Had decent volume didn't expect it to sort of carry too much from From Friday over but ends up doing that I mean Ends up There's a nice little stop on the back outside the range on the Saturday And then instantly try to recover that here, so we instantly recover that back into the This sort of area here where we pinned to the 50% so back down we went And we went sideways for a bit then back up again nice little double top here and pushing out You see that these are now protected nice little point here So we're looking at this as a resistance any time people come into here We're looking for people to buy this potentially as a break out When we see people buy this as a breakout that's also a nice little trip to go down At the best weekend Apple cool. Good to hear man. Oh, it's good to hear. I Had a pretty uneventful weekend. Nothing really happened. I just slept in for the most part Oh We had the clocks change in the UK as well. So it's like basic did nothing but rest. Yeah again best weekend Okay, we had the same weekend Looking at sort of the spot on my book map again. You can see where we have These sort of buyers coming up From Sun from Saturday end here. You can see all the selling pressure here All that selling in the beans and the cut and Leaning out into these breakout buyers here here and here everyone just and these stopouts as well There's just a mixed bag of things Then we instantly went down and you can see how people are very sort of scared and instantly After last week for some reason maybe it's the clock changes. It's just not easy one hour. You're gained No, I always get tired around the clock changes because it's just like my body's not used to it. I got small days I mean looking at this you can see that I mean we had these buys up these tops here So we just came back and accumulated these areas here and you can see that little sort of break we have here We have some small shorts or self cells coming in here But majority of it up is all those breakout buys that we sort of saw If we were to do that again, it looks like this again Looking for any time we come come above this area here to induce sort of buys and Have sort of breakout buyers come back into the market Only sort of interesting point I think would probably be this area here where we sort of fell shy of Prior but it's sort of stayed Stayed sort of static, which is always nice when it's a static Because it might be a nice little reference. We might come back and hit into a Little while later looking at the future again pretty much same things Look you see the stockpons and you can see Where we're getting liquid it will look where we're liquidating people here Again see those shorts piled up here Micro strategy buying Are they seriously buying that's never That's it don't tell me that that's never a good news. Ha I was being very brave until you know, I heard that I Mean looking at this entire thing here You can see how a lot of people went short here So on the back end of this, I mean, we're mostly short Make sure that longs at this sort of top here, but just can when we start breaking down it and then start Putting this entirely you can see that there's Hello, this I mean you break house, but majority of this is just short. So Luck next week. Yeah, I Mean on the back end of all this being short, we might expect this price to sort of try and Liquidates liquidate them before Committing downwards and we saw some of that happening over in the weekends where Where when we did when we did end it up and see that they did push it up every now and again just to grab those equations here again this liquidation sort of Set up here as well as sort of add some bias here to sort of try and try to sort of push it back. I mean you can sort of move it in and just look at the more recent ones, I mean You can see there even if we start zooming in you can see there's that large split that we have here the current sort of place of training where we can easy sort of push Springboard to try and trap people up here so maybe we look for that as a point I mean looking at it on a standard chart Here's a nice little consolidation we have for ourselves nothing Outlandish here mostly sort of Must have been tamed. I mean looking at sort of Asia. You can see it's just sort of mellowed out consolidating into sort of this area here It's nice little aside that we have for ourselves. I mean we're sort of moving down early on early days Again, we're sort of heavy on the shore on this on this sort of whole area here So we want to see if you can squeeze those guys out as soon as we sort of start pushing higher than this area here We can have this Place here. We'll start taking our stops on these points here and here And also grabbing out breakout long. So again, those will sort of break out liquidate then we can see if that undercuts that and then finally pushes back price In lower territories, who knows but for now, that's sort of where things are looking like They want to tend just looking at the way people are sort of training we're seeing a lot of shorts So expect price to sort of try react on the opposite side again Even spot is seen that in juice or selling don't meet many people buying Again look for that to increase Leave that into an increasing price at least to grab some Some lungs and some liquidate some of these shorts before if we Before moving down if that's our intended sort of off But again, it will be all dependent on if that was our intent or not I mean we still slide down and continue to sort of push back down until sort of the opening bell and then just have an explosion and only go up But now Like a short-term upswing if anything And then leading that into a downwards bar, I mean we already pretty much as high as we can As high as we'd like to be considering. I mean you can look at it sort of way Yes, it's out for hours.  It's you very short Pretty as hell. We start smoothing this out and I saw WNs here again. It's a nice little M here Easy approach at least tri-trade back down to three eight Three nine eight rather and we're just sort of opening the bell here. Nice little Nice little high. I mean we sort of push back down. We had a nice little Liquidive flush ourselves grabbing the opposite side from Asia is trying to take those guys out the market And from there sort of which is stagnating so we see if we can get those are bias pushed These shorts further and further out the market They're leading to sort of down and mean see where we sort of closed yesterday on the Friday You can see that as a gradual up in those gradual ups. You obviously have the fast movements to try catch those intraday Shorts or today's lungs while we move up, but generally this move here is very sort of Additive to the too long so a lot of lungs have entered in here and been comfortable in doing so Only going up Then we start reaching a point where it's just comes And Keep this up till we sort of some things and Zags and I mean the same thing could be said that's fine I mean we want to when we this opens up it open up to 302 Or two all the way up here. I mean you can see the difference where one ended here Another one's continued up all the way to here. So it's a very large disparity So we might expect a very big gap up if anything We'll see if it comes a one-to-one gap up or it's All shy when they start reprising this down back into here So we want to see and see that so we'll see maybe a burst an explosion of bias coming in You get an explosion of bias coming in the ones that's come in we get that retracement back down these that push price down further It's the way things ended. I mean Nice him and you can see they the end of the down bar here where the majority of people were on that short here They were just selling then they wrapped that on that second half into these little clothes of the face It's a very sort of Candle I mean you can put that game again the second half of this candle the volume came in they're all sort of selling short Like okay, this is a high we're gonna sell we're gonna sell then the insoles or close it here close the market here. So again Gonna come in and just probably get this very large But I might be something that you look to Bitcoin. It's just similar where I opened Won't cap up but you expect price so sort of snap and rubber backs to allow for the Love for people to get liquidated then never to be sort of follow follow trend back In still sort of accumulating short again taking this time when it does that sort of in when our right minds So say yeah, we're pretty much right as it is Where it's just collecting those sort of cells Technical shorts so push back into so price going higher Should be easy and nice. So I'll start for it. Have a look at where the old coins are at I'm some is gold actually gold finally relaxing a bit Create yourselves nice into a nice little double top back into this area here Back into finding some support. I mean it probably it's it's probably swinging and ranging in this area So hasn't solved down yet She's unfortunate again. We'd like to come back down and submit itself lower Man on to the main middle ethereum again, just like Bitcoin. I mean when does it ever not look like Bitcoin? Similar things here. You can see where we've grabbed these all volume here when we're so close to breaking this Our work and see similar source scenarios where the catching these breakouts out here And see where we have the large explosion and But we're gonna get these traders coming in on the next also and you can see each time It's just so trying to catch the break it breakouts out What's better? I'm going to do this volume with this volume and you can see there you go You can see every time we cross that close the volume comes in spikes it down comes in spikes down there you go Nice little side. So we might try and try and push up higher I mean but this sort of support here was sort of selling pretty heavy on this half here We know we're doing that on Bitcoin as well So we can sort of push start to try liquidate it on this sort of second bar here When we grab the liquidators, maybe then we can sort of commit to that downwards or push as people get comfortable in sort of shorting these line touches and Then they Sort of get about the possibility of a breakout and they say our cause breaking out So let me buy instead so they start buying the breakouts and Looking at the where it's trying to target, which is the predation of these short stops here then It's just all homes crashing down.  I mean looking out where we're sort of stuck in I mean look at the candles and Just doesn't look very pretty does it? I mean doesn't need to be pretty, but I mean sometimes I mean, this is a very ugly sort of price action To say at least so we're looking for a sort of high break Try break somewhere Ideally I mean look at that today should stop change itself back down Maybe from there grab a nice little stuff on and that comes a nice little support for it It doesn't it sort of falls up a lot lower and maybe down especially if it breaks down below the monthly it goes back down to this sort of Decide of the bar all the way down and further and further into sort of disarray Looking at and pretty much similar sort of story. I mean sort of the support area here It's something easy sort of push up push up off of this Have have something so I'm in Same time it should Which be short-lived amuse as it's coming in this early.  Let's just let's just buy this so despite Gapping up large and the open green and people just sort of eat that up as well as their own liquidations being So hit the side effect of the clothes Finally sort of healing into that a bit more aggressively now as it's coming. It's coming on nicely Pushing No news on for today like it must see her When do we get anything? Bank of England Nothing's up to bed speech at five o'clock They want to move the needle today and looks a bit tomorrow, though Doesn't look too bad Bunch of news coming in Is that anything important? consumer confidence or In that could be a nice little spice bike here other than that nothing on tomorrow either Let's check Wednesday In I think this entire week boring Nothing coming on Wednesday. Okay There we go Thursday. There's got jobless claims.  I'll have a look at that again collecting short here See that It's this slow builds up should snap up soon Once it sort of snaps up just sort of grab that liquidity Push How many times as people said that about a coin is that oh, this is a true creature This is different this time. I'm telling you guys it's not a Ponzi. I'm telling you I know this guy. He told me that We're all in the matrix Well, all just ones and zeros and this so free us I mean, absolutely right absolutely right If I ever been more than a little bit of wrong, I am more fierce I I chose the blue pill is the wrong pill I was on Sanix at that time and I didn't know what the rectal would do to me Just like I mean folks aside it looks decent and got a fair It's good bounce on the weekly nice little breakout retest The fact on the only thing was all considering knows that it have follow-through potential I mean looking at guys got you got you're in a double top here Just will be dependent on what Bitcoin ends up giving us here You got nice little slab of volume just coming in here, which is never really really too good too much on that side here Second half coming in it's pretty sort of a stagman, which is decent I could turn it around but generally if it sort of comes in and holds above here Could be a good sign for it. Maybe target for the daily up here but Generally, you're looking at this just saying okay Hammering in here was Bitcoin. It's slam itself all going higher Spiking one high then force of pushing itself back down Generally just looking for it to be above weekly at and the sort of ND sort of swing or even better still above this area here on a swing to try and catch it At higher for the most part if you're trying to push it for further some price gains I don't think it's Too viable where it's at now or where the market is presenting itself Where it's at That could be around again. I am very often Sometimes wrong. I mean you got these bikes here. We're coming under again looks very Looks very typical I mean, we'll be lucky to hold the weekly if we fall we're falling down here. It's a very large fall I should mean you hold just above here You just take these stops here But generally we might look for it to try and push down further if you're being a bit on the bearer side and I think you guys should be a bit on the bearer side. I mean We're stacking short now. I'm being sure with we're selling into this Here so we're expecting that rise but generally We're doing that because it's before the market open. So we haven't got our gap up yet So once we got a gap up we get these guys out But then look for the price try and climb and give us a nice little high Capture some breakout traders here. Yeah liquidate pretty much all of this business here And then from there, we just push it down And actually do it fast and sell this slow and Edius push that we're doing now This time and we'll have a look at every other coin, but I think they're pretty much doing the same thing. Yeah It's pretty much the same as there No shocker Just coming in making lower highs Same time that's where people start expecting breakouts like oh, yeah, and it's like oh, yeah off only So you go look for that again the squeezing this pretty heavy on the short side So we know that people are selling into here Don't expect price to try and push itself high try just to grab these guys out for the most part and Catch these potential breakout buyers here again We won't know if we get the breakout buyers until we come to that area here and actually see it live about With the relative certainty we can say we'll probably get breakout buyers here Can't always say for 100% but we can say for relative certain At least Breakout buyers are even higher It depends on how much fun we see Again same thing with the line. I mean even the higher time frame looks pretty much this just Just same same things different chart like I say just these old coins always look the same as everything else and Once they do it's just like okay. They'll just follow each other And then back most part And it won't be too much a variation I mean, it looks decent in other sort of support area here Nothing you always also have yet can give to it. It's a nice little support but we expect to be a sort of trying to sort of Push people in to try shorting Because again, we've got this nice little steep curve that in people will start buying as soon as you see that break See that push into here and Once they come to easy just catch people out here or even much earlier on who knows But just looking for those that volume to come in again looking for those shorts to potentially Bees out on this sort of string high and from there and easy push back down and we'll see what we can get out of it They don't think it's gonna be sort of That's again, we have new no-news today, so we're not going to be depending on any sort of major sort of news Doesn't do the same thing. You know, it's only going up. Yeah, probably right It's a new coin. It's a relatively new point. So yeah, I'm probably gonna end up going down and you know how I feel about those these coins Wait for more data sets, but most of all they just garbage anyhow Off from the jump whatever you want to say, you know, it's a major high Collecting sort of these longs by is here. We're just Trade blows. We'll see if it's on the new sort of futures. I Mean one thing it may trade over.   FTM is usually good around here Coming in support yourself. It's on the MXX Mexican Change I don't know any I don't know about any of that. I don't know about texanx exchange Uh-huh But yeah, I mean looks pretty much the same as everything. This is the thing where I mean we could easily Set up all these guys that support again. We know that vice any short term should at least squeeze out these shorts Uh, I don't know if we can levy these guys any higher Just looking out Where we're trying to come in I mean it's why it's pretty much trading at this point here I mean where we sort of ended off ended off here. You see that major sort of Rise that we're looking to have a little crazier than that great create a crazy little gap up That gap up usually you want to sort of fill it in We want to see where today closes. I think that's the main thing. So we see that gap up I mean we're in here. We see that gap up. See how far we lead it up And if we sort of carry this by on the first day See the second day and third day usually reverses so we need your reverse on the third day Wednesday but generally If we opening up on Tuesday, we should we should see similar sort of continuation If we don't fill out a gap here so either we're looking for a gap film Monday or Continuation in terms of hang up high and push it back until it's all beans and from there potentially look for All these guys to the same way just couldn't change the Trends upwards a nice little slow burn upwards where it just goes up like that and boom not boom like that, but Get the picture What I'm trying to paint At least that's what I'm thinking till again. It's still early days. So we could easily sort of see something different come in That's where your other guys come in And that's where you're sort of ten o'clock comes. I mean right now. There's nothing sort of to prevent it from doing Reverse I mean it's collecting bias here Collecting bias here, which is not really what we want to see If you want to see a squeeze a heart if you want to see it squeeze higher We want to see it try and Equate these guys again once we start getting issues and bias into the creation on this upswing It just looks like we can just reverse a bit lower and the sooner we The more we start reversing this and the more we start pushing down ahead of the 10 o'clock More likely we push it back here And some main bread and butter the 10 o'clock 10 o'clock The real the real exchange start time not 9 30 Yeah, I mean that would be the only case we would Or flip version mean sure we have all these shorts here So expect price to go high on these guys at least to liquidate them But at first if we sort of come in Get these bias and continue back down and just keep swinging these loads collecting a lot more short Lot more shorts happening to sort of these long-term areas here Then push higher That would be sort of just going up from there. That would be sort of bullish I Mean that would be a sort of bullish scenario But if we saw I mean I think we thought might be turning upwards anyhow Again, we still have an hour see if we go high or no if we're going high Again, it's gonna be a short if we're going low. It's gonna be a long most fun Because continue to dig into into the pockets of these shorts there Build this up continually the more likely we are to sort of push up you can see whether you have been prior this area here and All the way from the sort of break into here you can see There we go. Let's don't break here where we have when we start pushing below We start collecting a bunch of shorts into that market And again, it's just all present throughout So that's what I mean by okay. We're coming in early easy push out take out short short term shorts then push back Here introduce all along the market If you really so desire But generally I mean looking at where we have this breakout by something we should see down if we then we should go up maybe the targeting the Short-term longs first if they do that then they will look to go down but on the On the sort of first move for the day and push it back higher They try to carry on what you at least Wednesday for the most part Does that mean said again, that's all these are all just Maybes and ifs if this happens and so on You guys still have about 15 minutes before you get any sort of siding Siding factors coming in again, and we sort of run the risk of this being Being a very high already. So we saw push high We're sort of being very aggressive again. We did take out this Yeah, I'll be position. No, I Don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I didn't I don't have I only trade what I know when we're in it. Yes We're coming in here. We're pretty high. I push it back up That's front of the wrist. We already know we're sort of short on this So we want to push it up by we want to see this push by down in the long scheme The grand scheme of things that's what I want to say generally It's nice to come down at least for a Monday Tuesday and with my senior better Better offset coming in on the on the Friday. I mean Yeah, Friday say I've been very aggressive with this spreading down still sort of collecting that short. So could definitely spring Again, we want to see it come up high Prior to sort of ten o'clock. We want to see that nice little double top come in They grab these breakout traders Grab to sort of grab all these shorts out of the market Or maybe even if we end up being bullish, we see that double bottom. I think it just might be a very large point where they just grabbing liquidity at the higher end points because these shorts were Pretty much hard to shake off All things considered so they just okay, let's just go for a much higher So we just grab as many shorts as we possibly can Before we ended to conclude it and we can see where we're sitting up the equity Sports just at the sort of highs here. I mean, you can see you have this 2700 but mostly See that how they're just splitting out here Mostly them being sort of a similar traders at this sort of area here You've got some Lot of people here. So we look like we might just miss that wall there for the most part We'll see when we come down to it in the e-gritty Again, you know, okay, we have in just very much so a lot of people just have Bested interest in this area So it might be a case where we've got a lot of un-shakeable shorts and they might just push it up higher Brady pinning which is decent. So it could be signs that we might get a double bottom again These are all cases where you look at it's just okay. I don't get double bottom here or this pins up higher We get a dot we push into a double top for the day And it's just all depending on those factors I mean, we can even short throw this here where we come in just Include it here and push back down there. So that'll still be considered a double top So you've got to consider those Potentials like either get a double bottom you get a double top and you should start making up its mind It's be only really have about 45 minutes before we start deciding a direction of the day So this could either be a nice little pivot for a bearish point or a nice big first leg Double bottom Like this or double top where it pushes in just rejects Those are much higher just rejects it and this this goes down and this it looks like something like Like this got nice In those are the points you're looking for to try and sort of validate either going along This one being long one going short you guys looking for a stop on high or stop on long Outside of that, I don't think you get too much sort of in the way of magnitude for today game. It should be a relative plight day. I mean Sure, sure spy should go over bit crazy as it gaps up I mean if this gaps up here and instantly wants to fill back into this Bitcoin might Spile a lot further down than expected Because Bitcoin did have the weekends nice price itself higher whereas this just Slab up higher than Bitcoin and this will meet up a certain price And if this goes down Bitcoin Either be forced to go down or it will remain stagnant until it inevitably buckles under and falls down Because generally they will they will like to move together if they'd not together They will be forced to be married together again at some point in time. I mean, I think that's that's it man Other than my voice being my voice just dying because Henry does die very early on I don't know why it's lack of water Probably the lack of water, but generally you can see that We are sort of building this out short. So we should see some rise if it if only short term But if you're looking for a long term rise, you want to see it double bottom out here then push up higher Again, we're trying to do that on we only have about 15 minutes until sort of market opens up high Uh, we're only really trading at 38 here. So we're gonna sort of it looks like we are gonna gap up But only sort of realist to here for now So that's where we're sort of looking for a right to gap up to But once it sort of meets that, I mean if it tries to push itself with Yeses got you can say and again I've seen that disparity from Yeses numbers in this so It's coming in pretty so Pretty so hot So if it's sort of opens up here again, same thing where if you push it back down Bitcoin will be forced to sort of push back down But we want to see profit set up for it where If we're expecting that to happen, we expect Bitcoin to go high Then drop it drop along yes, if it doesn't really want to build it up And build the course up or not really expecting it to go down I mean we have I mean we have long coming in here. So breaking up for not any of this sort of insane sort of selling here but generally This is something that's easier reversed uh and easily sort of uh Easily gone higher So something that you want to take uh take into account when we're sort of Opening this sort of market is when we see this sort of And we see sort of see a lot of selling again. You can see it here Yeah, I mean even when we get a stagnated selling here selling here we generally tend to go up Uh, so that's something that you want to sort of take into account So it's nice that easier side to look at And the fact that we haven't been going up you get out this early on is interesting really I mean we've got this nice little bottom here. I mean, I think we're just accumulating volume at this point So we're just I think adding sort of short so maybe we get that sort of explosion uh that Out of nowhere and and we start pushing up higher where we don't We leave a nice little gap open. We then push it on the wednesday rather than looking for it today But again monday is easy one of those days that sets it up so it could uh, it could do anything really uh, so generate monday is nice Sort of set up day where you can just watch and Just wait for Wait for tuesday sort of carry us uh into into the actual direction we look for Couldn't wish you a fun week. Uh, I don't think it's gonna be a fun week. That's the thing It looks scarier You know, that's why it looks it looks like a scary for most people Which is yeah, I guess you could say is a fun week That's it if you're in in the right position I mean, we're climbing up here these things doing the exact same thing Pushing in grabbing these cells after this after this sort of major push and trying to get Along the end with trying to get these shorts back in to try and We're on a potential rise game to then push it back down Into lower prices Market open Which try to anticipate that In people are going to uh, open the market up and just see green. They're just blindly biased. Oh, of course.  It continues to go higher Which is you go higher for a bit then slam itself like finally trying Adding back so it looks pretty promising now again. You've got these walls now added in So finally, uh, it does look like we might try and hit these hit these here So we're gonna see this, uh, if we're looking for sort of bullishness or if we're looking, uh for prices The uh going down on this second string here. We want to see it buy up and here the push back down Yeah, hopefully we do get that. I think Friday Yeah, Friday is probably when we're going to get our larger move, uh, just because we do have more concentrated news Uh, the rest of it does look like it's just going to be purely price action driven Nothing sort of too major from the news side. I mean after last week nothing really Isn't sort of too bad Obviously sort of thinning this wall out here. It was nice. Uh, Constraint the higher wall here because that's the one that stayed the same Then we like consistency Spot pretty much doing similar things just collecting ties just buying but it's just stagnating in these vies, which is Not not the best of signs again For bullishness it's this Stop that push high For bearishness it's high I think that's pretty much all the advice I think I can give today Uh, other than the fact that we might We might get a boring day so it might be advisable to just skip it entirely if you can uh, if you can help it Uh, but other than that, that's pretty much all I really have to say for today Thank you guys so much for coming. Uh, hopefully you enjoyed the stream You guys subscribe all that chance And I will catch you guys tomorrow. Hopefully tomorrow Will be a lot more interesting and we'll finally have a rainstorm anyhow So probably be decently interesting And then we can go from there And then she has a good fight Catch you guys tomorrow Trade safe and peace


I'm Reynu and I'm 14 years old. I lived in a beautiful village in a Wattlandorb house. My father left my family when I was 7 years old and my mother used to work in the nearby factory to look after my younger brother and me. I stayed with my grandmother after school until my mother returned from work. I loved to go to school. One day an auntie who used to help us encouraged my mother to send me to work in a factory in Colombo for a big salary so that we could build a permanent house with a good roof. I left my home for the first time with the auntie to work in Colombo. She handed me over to a rich couple, put me to a house and sold me to different men to run away, but I couldn't and I was helpless and I did not know where to get help. I was forced to do a lot of bad things which I hated to do. I escaped from that place, now I'm in a safe house. Almost 4 years have passed and I still love to go back to my school but nobody will take me back to school because of what happened to me.  One in four victims subjected to human trafficking are children. They are often trafficked for commercial sex and domestic servitude. Globally, 99% of victims in the commercial sex industry are women and girls. More often traffickers approach families in economically vulnerable conditions, offering false promises of work and a better life. Sri Lanka is not an exception to child trafficking. Let us join hands to end child trafficking in Sri Lanka. If you spot it, report it to the following numbers. National Child Protection Authority on 1929.

My name is Stephen Sherwood. I'm a professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. And I do research on clouds and water vapor and climate and how all those things are connected. So there's a global water cycle and globally the amount of water that evaporates from the oceans has to come out, fall out of the atmosphere as rain. I can't stay in the atmosphere for very long, maybe about a week. So that whole cycle is really driven by the radiation balance of the atmosphere. The atmosphere is losing energy because it's radiating infrared radiation to space and to the surface. And that has to be also balanced by the heat that's released by the precipitation. So if you put all these things together we can say something about the rate of this global water cycle and how it does increase as the climate warms up because the energy flows increase. And so all of that happens a bit faster. That doesn't necessarily mean though that we're going to all have more rain in a warmer climate because it also means that the land surfaces are evaporating faster as well. I think that by and large in a warmer climate we can expect it to physically be drier in the sense that if you put a pan of water out somewhere it would evaporate faster in a warmer climate. And we would also get more rain but if you take the ratio of the rain that you get to how long that water lasts in that pan you're losing in a warmer climate. And this is something that you can work through with some thermodynamic calculations but this is what comes out. And it's supported by our climate, fancy climate models when we run them they do show the aridity of most continents on earth becoming more severe in a warmer climate. Now what might help us is that with higher CO2 plants don't need as much water. So the plants, most plants, some plants might actually be okay. But this is a huge area of uncertainty and I think it's pretty important. Over oceans and land precipitation and evaporation should happen faster in a warmer climate. But what happens over land is that what we call the potential evaporation increases much faster than any of those other things. So the potential evaporation is how fast a pan of water would evaporate. And what that means is that trying to keep water around for use becomes a lot harder. You can't evaporate water that doesn't rain. So the actual evaporation might not go up that much but the atmosphere is trying to evaporate water a lot harder as the climate warms up. In the climate system the way we understand it is that there are things that we call forcings that drive changes to the global energy budget and therefore the global temperature as a response to that. And then there are things that we call feedbacks. One of the feedback works is that when the earth starts to warm up, let's say, because of an input of heat, that warming triggers other changes which have their own effects on the energy balance of the earth. And if they in turn cause the earth to absorb more sunlight, for example, then that's what we call positive feedback because it means that the whole system will end up having to warm even more before it finally comes to a new balance. And the biggest feedback that we know about comes from water vapor. This water vapor feedback has been part of thinking on climate since the very beginning. Even Arrhenius in 1896 took account of the water vapor feedback when he computed global warming. But it's always been or it has been controversial for a long time because people have come up with various ways that it might not happen and there has been some important details in what determines the water vapor concentration in the atmosphere that we haven't known. We do know that an atmosphere at equilibrium will have more water vapor when it's warmer, but our atmosphere isn't in equilibrium. So there was this problem of saying, well, you know, how do we know that the actual water vapor amount is going to do what we think? And I would say in the last ten years, we have developed a good enough understanding of what controls the actual water vapor amounts in the atmosphere as opposed to this theoretical equilibrium so that we can say confidently that, yes, we will get this doubling of climate change from water vapor feedback and even the reasonable skeptics or semi-reasonable skeptics out there who have questioned this feedback in the past that I know of have basically moved on and said, yes, okay, there is this water vapor feedback and the real focus of discussion now is in clouds and feedbacks from them because they're definitely more uncertain. So in the atmosphere, there are several greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is the one that you keep hearing about. There's also water vapor, which is natural. It gives us all of our rain and gives us our clouds. And if you just look at the greenhouse effect of that water vapor, it's more than the greenhouse effect of the carbon dioxide. You might think, well, why do we care about carbon dioxide? Well, the problem is that carbon dioxide, once it's in the atmosphere, stays there pretty much for centuries. Some of it stays there for millennia. Water vapor only stays there for about a week. And moreover, the amount of water vapor that's in the atmosphere is so tightly controlled by the circulation of the air and the temperature of the air that you and I could boil as much water as we wanted and we wouldn't have one iota of effect on the amount of water vapor or the greenhouse effect of what's in the atmosphere. So what actually happens is when we burn fossil fuels, it puts carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It increases the greenhouse effect of that. And then once that warms the earth, the earth will increase the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. We can't do anything about it. So it acts like a feedback. And because it's a strong greenhouse gas, it means that the water vapor feedback can be strong and it is strong. And that's why it can double the impact of the carbon dioxide change or any other change to the energy budget. Could you talk briefly about just some of the other climate feedbacks there are in the system and how they all add up to an overall climate sensitivity? So the water vapor feedback itself roughly doubles the sensitivity that you would have. That's really the major one. There's ice. So in a warmer climate, ice will melt. And ice is bright. It reflects sunlight to space. So if you lose that, you're absorbing more sunlight and that's another positive feedback, but it's a lot smaller than the water vapor one. And then the big unknown is clouds. Clouds reflect a lot of sunlight to space. They also exert their own contribution to earth's greenhouse effect. And either of those capacities of the clouds or characteristics of the clouds could change in a warmer climate. And one of the big unknowns and topics of research right now that occupies people like me is to try to figure out what the clouds will do. The behavior of clouds that we see in our models is that they increase warming somewhat. They add a bit more positive feedback to what's already coming from water vapor and ice melting. For a long time, people regarded that as a black box sort of result that we didn't understand and really didn't trust at all. Lately, looking more carefully at why it happens in the models, we start to see a couple of pretty straightforward things that we do understand. And the most important one of those is simply the fact that in a warmer climate, the part of the atmosphere that we call the troposphere gets thicker. And the part that we call the stratosphere gets thinner. And the clouds, which form near the boundary between those two, move up. And their greenhouse effect gets stronger. And so they then give you another positive feedback. We think we're on pretty solid ground in that one. Other things happen in our models that are more diverse or different between different models and so they're not well understood. And they're also, it's very hard to tell from observations what's going on. We don't have long records of clouds. And the records that we do have that go back a few decades suffer from the fact that a new satellite is launched every five years and its sensor is a little different and you can't exactly compare. One of the things we'd like to be able to do is look at the observed variations in today's climate and use those to tell us what clouds would do in a warmer climate. And it turns out that it's fairly tricky to do that. And the reason is that the natural variability of the system from year to year or month to month includes a lot of things going on that don't really happen over 100 year timescale when you warm the planet. And so a lot of people have tried to infer cloud feedbacks from say satellite observations over the last 10 or 20 years. But I don't think any of those studies have really nailed the problem. I don't think any studies have nailed the problem yet. We're going to have to work on this for some time to come. But what you have to do is you really have to understand all those other factors that are there in the year to year variability and take them into account. And that's something that we haven't figured out how to do yet. So we don't really have a way of proving what the feedbacks are. But I think we're making some progress in understanding the cloud ones and it's looking less and less likely that they are going to do anything to reduce climate change. So in the last IPCC report we concluded that it was likely that they exert a positive feedback. It's the first time the IPCC has made a claim about even the sign of cloud feedback. Just the fact that they made a claim about it shows that the sign to be understanding must have got fairly strong. There were definitely differences of opinion about what to say about that. But there were at least as many people who wanted a stronger statement as there were who wanted a weaker one. There's really three ways to try to put bounds on what we call climate sensitivity which is the overall amount of warming that you get in the system from something like a doubling or quadrupling of carbon dioxide or something else like that. And one of those is to try to figure it out from first principles, be really smart, put together a model of the system and use the model to tell you what it's going to do. This is tough. We're doing it and it gives us a range of results but there are a lot of feedbacks that happen in these models and they depend on knowledge of the physics and the processes that goes beyond what we currently know how to confidently capture and put in. However, it gives us an idea of what to expect. You can also go back and look at the paleoclimate record which we have evidence on paleoclimate going back depending on how strong of evidence you want through the Phanerozoic about the last 600 million years. But particularly over the last 60 or 70 million years a lot of people look 50 million years ago people look over the Quaternary, the last million years and they're getting more interested in periods of time in between. And for many of these time periods you can get an estimate of the global temperature and you can get an estimate of the influences that things like CO2 almost always was higher when the climate was warmer and almost always was lower when the climate was colder. And in some cases we know why the CO2 was higher or lower it was because of changes in volcanism and so that's kind of like what we're doing except slower. So you can use that and when we try to put together when we try to put together what the sensitivity looks like from that information it's kind of similar to our climate models giving us numbers like two or three or maybe four degrees for a doubling of CO2. The third way that you can do it is you can try to get it from recent observational record just the 20th century. In other words look at the time period where humans actually started doing something. And over this time period we have much better information but so far we've got a pretty puny climate change. It's still been less than one degree. So it's also and there have been a lot of different kinds of human influence most importantly the fact that we're putting a lot of air pollution into the atmosphere carbon and soot and sulfate and it's really hard to tell how much of an impact that's having. So all of this makes it kind of hard to answer the question this way either. So we have three imperfect ways of doing it. They all kind of tell us that the sensitivity is significant but they don't any of them tell us exactly what it is. The warming pattern that you see in any model in the tropics is you see some warming at the surface and then as you go up in the atmosphere you see the warming getting stronger and stronger until you start getting close to the top of the troposphere layer and then it starts to go away. So there's this kind of maximum that exists about 10 or 12 kilometers above the surface in the tropics. And a lot of people have been looking at observations over the last 10, 20 years to try to find this and many of them don't find it and it has become a big controversy because every time someone doesn't find it they write a paper and then a bunch of people that want to be skeptical find it and feel vindicated. The problem is that we don't really have any good observation systems that measure atmospheric temperatures accurately enough over a long period of time to give us a really believable picture of what this pattern of warming looks like. We even have trouble at the surface. We've got thousands. There's around 10,000 surface observing stations on Earth and despite that there are arguments about how much the surface has warmed over a period of several decades in the tropics where we actually have relatively few stations. But the situation surface is great compared to what it is as you go up in the atmosphere where we have only a few dozen radio sun stations in the tropics. And you can turn to satellites to try to get this but they have their own problems that are not well calibrated and there's new satellites every few years and they also don't have very good... They can't really tell the difference between what's happening at 12 kilometers and what's happening at 6 kilometers in the atmosphere. So in my view, none of these observing systems is definitive and there are some that do show this heating maximum in the tropical upper troposphere. So it continues to be a subject of research and debate as to whether there is or isn't evidence of something different from what our models are saying. A tropical hot spot occurs because of basic tropical meteorology, thermodynamics of gases. We've got a gas near the surface that's got a lot of water vapor in it and when it mixes with the upper troposphere that water vapor condenses and it releases heat and so for that reason any temperature change at the surface is multiplied in the upper troposphere and that should happen no matter what causes the change. So we really have to distinguish between two different questions here. One is, is the tropical surface warming and the other is, is there something about the ratio of warming at one level versus another level that's different from what we think and if there is, that's telling us something really interesting about atmospheric mixing and thermodynamics. It's not necessarily telling us anything about global warming. If the surface isn't warming and we think it is, should be, then that would be telling us something about global warming potentially. So we need to keep these two things separate, I would say. Probably the most well-known fingerprint of carbon dioxide induced warming is the cooling of the stratosphere that you get when you add CO2 to the atmosphere and we certainly see that. There's no question that the stratosphere has been cooling. A complication there is that ozone depletion also contributes to it so it's again hard to say exactly how much of that is from carbon dioxide from ozone depletion, especially since the ozone depletion rate isn't very well measured. Otherwise, it's not easy to find fingerprints of human-caused warming versus, say, from the sun. I think the stratosphere is probably the main one. Yeah, so every once in a while some new scientific understanding comes along which has been called a paradigm shift where scientists tell people something that doesn't really fit with their worldview or really overturn some basic assumptions that we have. So the classic one where the term came from is the Copernican Revolution where Nicholas Copernicus realized that it made more sense to think of the Earth as being going around the sun rather than the sun going around the Earth and he couldn't prove it, but it made sense. It was a simpler way of explaining the data and it took along a lot of convincing and of course there were famous battles between him and the church before people would accept this. And a lot of the same arguments that people used against it for decades are kind of similar to the arguments people use against climate change. You know, I think there's some other way of explaining the observations that you've got and the real problem was that it was uncomfortable to think that the Earth wasn't the center of the universe because that's kind of what everybody believed. And so today we have this lifestyle we've built up for decades, more than a century, that's based on fossil fuels and we all know that this is how we've kind of gotten where we are and it's pretty uncomfortable to think that they're causing this problem for our kids and our grandkids. So I think there's some similarity there in terms of why it is that it's difficult to get people to accept this. And another example is Einstein's theory of relativity believe it or not was also not well accepted outside the scientific community at the time it was proposed. And the more the data confirmed it, the more a lot of people in the science community but outside the people who are really familiar with it turned against it. And they didn't want to think that this guy Einstein had figured this out and they didn't want to think that space and time weren't the sort of simple thing that they thought. And so we've seen this happen a few times in the history of science. In the case of Einstein and his theory, he himself remarked in his letters that you could tell whether somebody was for against his theory by what political party they belong to, which is a bit reminiscent of the situation today. And it so happens that when one of these confronting ideas comes along, sometimes people's responses to it tend to orient along pre-existing political faults in the society. Particularly in teaching of physics, it has become clear that to teach someone physics, you often have to get rid of their pre-existing incorrect notions before the better ideas will really take hold. So a typical example is we're so used to dealing with things that are damped by friction that students have really hard time understanding the physics of a planet orbiting a sun where the force is actually perpendicular to the motion. And you can explain to them and say, yeah, yeah, yeah.  So what you really have to do is show how their reasoning is wrong first. And I'm trying to use, I'm trying to figure out how to use that in my own teaching more than I do right now to get students into groups and give them problems to think about and then identify where they're thinking might have gone wrong so that we can then come in and say, okay, here's a different way to think about it. Yeah, one of the most prevalent misconceptions about climate change is that scientists saw temperature readings going up around the world and then started scratching their heads and thinking, well, why would this happen? Oh, I know, it's our fault. When what really happened was that this was anticipated more than 100 years ago just by scientists going all the way back to Joseph Fourier who's famous among anyone who studies math and physics for his ubiquitously used mathematical technique and they realized right away that if you increase the infrared opacity of the atmosphere the temperature would go up. And what we're seeing now is really the playing out of something that was understood a long time ago. When I started teaching this subject I would always ask my students every year at the beginning before we learned anything whether they thought which of two statements they agreed with more. Basically one was we observed this first and then figured out why it was happening or the other way around and consistently, and this is students at Yale who are reasonably well informed, almost every student for year after year would express the same misconception that they thought we had observed the warming first before we knew what was causing it and I think that's a big problem because the community isn't getting credit for the fact that they actually did understand this before it happened. The number of papers considering this problem increased exponentially so going back to the 1970s you would see a few going back farther even fewer and fewer and fewer but if you look through all of that time at those people who are actually considering the global average climate they've always been saying well the carbon dioxide is rising so we expect it to warm with a few people raising other possibilities but by and large that's what the literature has always said. How do you distinguish between what might be the vanguard of a new scientific revolution or people who are just rejecting a legitimate scientific consensus? Yeah, so one of the things about past cases where somebody like Galileo has come along and been sort of dismissed by a lot of his colleagues at first and the same with plate tectonics. There was actually a meteorologist who came along and figured out plate tectonics and at first none of the geologists wanted to have anything to do with this stupid idea and in each case there was a theory that the person had that explained a lot of different observations but it really went against what people were assuming and over time the power of the theory sort of won people over so if you're trying to figure out whether somebody is a Galileo or not one of the most important questions asked is do they have a theory that seems to have predictive power seems to be able to explain things in the natural world and the climate system is very complicated so I wouldn't claim that we can predict everything that you see happening but our models are able to do a lot of things they can explain why there's a seasonal variation of temperature or rainfall and why there's an El Nino and a La Nino and a lot of other things and the skeptics don't have a model they never do there's no basis for their predictions that there won't be any warming other than wishful thinking I would say there are many different people who reject the science of climate change in different ways or for different reasons so there are a lot of people out there who are just naturally skeptical and they want to be convinced and maybe they haven't looked into it that much and I think those people you can engage with particularly one on one or in a small setting and point some things out that they didn't know there's also a lot of people that have already made up their mind as almost part of their identity that they're not going to accept it and those people you kind of can't do anything with I think in communicating to the public about climate it's almost impossible to simplify things too much it's helpful to come up with analogies so I think one of the best ones around is a kind of medical analogy and it kind of goes back to what I was saying about whether climate change was observed first or whether it was predicted first we're kind of in a situation when the doctor told us quite a while ago that we had this condition and then we started to develop symptoms and then we started questioning the doctor and now we do a lot of asking well is this pain in my toe is that my cancer or is that my Ebola that you say I have and these are not the right questions to be asking the question you should be asking is what's the prognosis of this disease based on what we know so I think an analogy like that helps and there's others that are out there my research is on clouds and how they're connected to climate and clouds are a very important feedback mechanism on climate they're also really important for determining how weather systems evolve in our atmosphere and they may even be important for how circulations in the atmosphere are affected by things like climate change so one of the things we see happening right now is that the tropics which has a pretty well-defined edge according to how the circulations go in the atmosphere that edge has been moving outward for the last 30 years and nobody really knows exactly why and none of our models are able to predict a rate of expansion that is any more than maybe about a third of what we observe so there's something funny going on there and some of us think that clouds might have part of the responsibility for making this happen so much faster than what a model says should happen and there's a lot of other things going on in the world that are happening faster than the models say we see rainfall patterns in the tropics enhancing at a very rapid rate so places that get some rain over the oceans are getting a lot more and places that got less rain over the oceans are getting a lot less and that's happening faster than we expected and again clouds may be involved in that and that's just to name two examples there are a lot of other things as well so one of the problems that I'm really interested in right now and there's a kind of growing international movement as exemplified by a new grand challenge that's been organized by the World Climate Research Program to really look at what role clouds play in all of these various global scale phenomena not just feedbacks on global warming but a lot of other stuff I started out my academic career in physics, I liked it I got a degree, worked for a couple years in the defense industry in the US and decided I didn't want to keep doing that forever and in graduate school didn't quite know what I wanted to do but I landed in the laboratory of a fellow named Ramanathan who is one of the most famous climate scientists in the world and an expert on radiation and who at the time was becoming very interested in clouds and so I kind of got drawn into the subject that way it wasn't something that I planned to do as an undergraduate I didn't take a single course in this area as an undergraduate but I think it's a really interesting field and it's one that could definitely use more people who like physics because that's really what we're doing The humans are influencing the climate system and we're doing it mainly by burning fossil fuels and the sooner we come to terms with that the better off we're going to be and unfortunately every kilogram of CO2 that we put into the atmosphere is pretty much going to stay there forever at least for practical purposes so it's not a problem that we can sort of think about and solve later when it becomes painful it's a problem that we have to, if we're going to do anything about it it has to be done fairly soon


All right, so thanks for staying with us now. According to a news source, award-winning filmmaker and veteran journalist Zulu Okafor has opened up on his friend and popular Hollywood actors, Centipede's death now, Centipede, who was born Obi-Na-Uma 4 died on Sunday, 7th of May in his sister's house in Joss, but the public got to know about his death a week after on the 12th of May because his demise was kept under wraps, allegedly as a result of some disagreements within the late prolific actor's family. Now, in a piece entitled Between Centipede's Marriage and His Death, the filmmaker stopped short of saying that Obi whom he described as shy, almost bordering on timidity and insecurity, died as a result of his marriage. The many battles he fought there and the protracted illness that eventually took his life at the age of 57.  This is a peculiar case and of course, it's like I mentioned earlier, is still a one-sided story, but really what we want to do is discuss what lessons we can learn from this alleged circumstances around the late Centipede's marriage and his eventual death. Now, please, let's hear what you have to say. Remember, you can join the conversation, send us an SMS or WhatsApp to<PHONE_NUMBER>3, you can also see that that's at the way show after one of the hashtag way show. All right, so I mean, this conversation, right, bearing in mind that this is just an account from one person, I want us to just probably maybe take away the messenger and the subject matters and just deal with the situation. People live in toxic marriages. People are there. People, you know, they just stay there and people also take advantage of people's weaknesses, right? I am outspoken for instance, right? Am I outspoken? I'll say really, I'm not really outspoken when it comes to my personal life, right? I can really internalize a lot of things and be quiet about a lot of things, but the day I decide that my mind is made of, my mind is made of, there's absolutely nothing you can do, you know. But I am that kind of person, but I don't know how many people will be willing to have that kind of attitude towards their relationships, right? To say, you know, what I think I've had, I've looked at it, I've evaluated this relationship, it's not working for me and I draw the line and I call it quit. Many people would stay in that relationship and I think this is the allegation, right, that, you know, he was in a toxic relationship and, you know, this caused a lot of things, eventually, you know, he had to pull out from his work, pull out from Nollywood, pull out from everybody and, you know, and now, eventually, he was not able to see his family, his children and now, illness for about two years and he's dead. What do you think we can even learn from this? Maybe I'll start with you, the great many lessons for me. I think a lot of the things that we see in this story, sadly, they're quite common here in Nigeria. I think they're common actually, I shouldn't just limit it to Nigeria. They're quite common in bad marriages and marriages of this sort. The first thing that stood out for me was the isolation. So you get married and we see that a lot from a female perspective. People tend to say, oh, when somebody gets married and she has a single friend, she tends to stay away from her single friends. But I think that there were a lot of warning signs. From what we can read in the story, there were a lot of warning signs around what the problems are. So the minute you see that somebody almost sort of disappears, right, from the public eye, particularly somebody of this type of profession who was quite well known, who was quite popular, I would imagine that even in his shyness and timidity, he still had, I mean, he was well respected as an actor. He was well known. So people, quite a few people would have known him. They would not have been as close to people as such. But even just from Zulu's feedback, you can see that at least he had one close friend, if he's only one, right, to then be isolated within a marriage. And it extremely odd as well that he's a man. Because I think a lot of times we think about these things. We think about these things that it only happens to women. But it just shows that the gender issues, really these issues cut across the gender divide. But he's a man. So first of all, he's isolated, caught up from his friends. Then he's caught up from his life's work. He's an actor. This is his craft. Then he stops acting. So there's a lot of warning signs, right? Those two things are key. So you get to the point eventually where things have now really gone bad. Then he's not allowed to see his kids. He's moved out of the house. There are alleged attacks on his person. I mean, there's just so many things that have gone wrong here. And it's, for me, like you said, the most important thing. I was having a conversation with someone today and I said, one of the reasons why Nigeria remains the place for me is I'm a community person. I find life abroad quite isolating. Me, I need to be able to just call and say, ah, where you going? And they call your house. Put on slippers and rock up. That's the kind of thing that works for me. Having, you know, like almost a sisterhood. I always say that I'm so thankful for my village. My village is full of amazing women that I can trust and I love and assist us to me. Maybe not everybody is as lucky, but we, you must have at least one person that you can trust. I know a lot of people have been burned, that they talk to the wrong people, and then they feel like their story's out there, but you must have somebody that you can trust. And then in the back of your mind, I love what you said. Make up your mind, make your decision for you. And whatever, wherever the crumbs may fall, I'm taking it like that. If you, if you want to paint my story, I always say it of myself, I tell my story myself. If you now decide that you want to go and talk about it, good luck to you. Well done.  And you only have one life to live. And let's look at people who have had situations that are what you would class as debilitating. The person that always makes me laugh, every time I hear that line in the song now, if Tewa can sing about her experience, you know, and I remember when that situation happened, somebody was like, gosh, she's brought her life, she's brought her life, and then she answered the person in the song. The first day I heard that song, I almost wanted to take a clip and send it to the person that actually I told you that this thing would be five minutes. So the fact is, it's so important that we can stand and make decisions and stand by them and not care what the world is going to say, because I think that is in all of this, that is the biggest, that's the real important part. Just for our come to you, let's go to the break, then I'll come to Noma as well. We just want to open our phone lines. Alright, thanks for staying with us now. If you're just tuned in, it's our ladies night out, and we are having a conversation around the unfortunate demise of FAM Cento B, and of course, the allegations around his marriage and of course, the circumstances around his death. Now, that's the conversation we're having. We're trying to draw out some lessons from it. Now, to call us, you can call us on<PHONE_NUMBER>9, that's the number to call. Remember to turn off all the device that you're watching us from so we don't have a feedback. You can also send us an SMS or WhatsApp to 080-384-663. I'll come to you Noma, then I'll come back to Jennifer. Noma, what are your thoughts on this when you heard the story? What came to your mind? Because again, some people are also trying to compare this with gospel artist, Osuna Chi, saying that, you know what, it's the same thing. She kept quiet in her marriage and unfortunately too, we lost her in her cold hands of death. Why was he not able to cry out to say, this is what I'm going through? Because literally, nobody, he just went under. He just disappeared from the scenes. Like you rightly said, for his profession, people would ask, where are you, where are you on all of that? Nothing. No communication, nothing. Why was this so? And if probably anybody's in that kind of a situation, what are the things that they should be doing right now? Yeah, when I heard this story on behalf of Saint-Obi, I was completely heartbroken. For some of us who started watching movies, Nigerian movies, back in the days when people like Saint-Obi were the stars of the season at the time, you could see the diligence in his craft, you could see how hard-working that it was. He didn't even pass across as somebody who is described, you know, the way Zulu has described him now as somebody to be shy, who was shy because he created that persona of this really confident person that people could relate to on screen. Absolutely. Hold your thoughts, please. Let's not lose our colors. Nasa, I think, she's called from Magodo. Then I'll come back to you, Nama. Please don't lose your thoughts.  Thank you. Absolutely. Amen. Still work. Why does Zulu come out with this and even try to save his friends?  I don't understand it. Absolutely. That's his role. Secondly, I think we should begin to do something about comfort when they have issues. They drag the children into it because they charge him for the father and the mother. That's a good thing about that. But each time a couple have issues, they put the children into the issue. One found denying the other and sent to the children. I think it's very, very wrong. They have to begin to address it. It's better for us. Thank you. Because these children, they go through the problem. Absolutely. So they should not be involved. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Nasa. Thank you. And I like what you said and I'll come back to you, Nama, then I'll come to Jennifer, where you said that that's part of lessons learned where you say the people that are around, like you rightly said, how come you knew and you did not say anything? Sometimes you really need to go and save the person from themselves. But Nama, please go ahead with your thoughts. Yeah. So I was talking about his personality, what he projected on screen and who he was as an individual. Now, seeing that part, it just brought the aspect of personality to the fore for me because there are a lot of times you see people and they tend to look like everything is going on well with them. Sometimes if you are someone who pays attention, I think that would be a very good time to check up on them to be sure that they're okay. We've had several cases of people, you know, looking larger than life, celebrating and then something just happens. No one knew that they were depressed. No one knew that they were distressed. No one knew that they were going through so much pain. So personality sometimes can be deceiving because there are people who are introverted extroverts, right? And they're extroverted introverts. So there are people who can come out and when they need arises, they show up in power and in presence and everything. But when they are in the quiet on themselves, you will be shocked at the person who you are experiencing because it's a complete contrast to who you have experienced in the limelight. And that's probably where it's said to be stepped in. He looked like the kind of person that was confident and on screen. And then off screen, he finds himself in a situation where I'm sure even to him, he didn't even believe he was going to find himself in that situation. You talked about men, women, usually that's the picture that we have about people who are going through abuse or toxic relationship. But no one really pays attention to men who are also going through toxic relationship. And because it's always the woman who is being projected in the society that we find ourselves, it's even embarrassing to even come to the phone to say, Oh, I am going through things like this. So another lesson I want to push out there very quickly is that from what I see, I don't know what their situation was, but counseling is a very, very important part of marriage relationships. I kind of stress it. Sometimes a lot of people say, Oh, before marriage, or they go through counseling, they do all of that. But the moment the wedding is done, that's it. The truth of it is that you always need somebody that you can be accountable to. And somebody who both of you mutually respect, and you can listen to somebody that you can emulate somebody that can be like a role model, you can see by example, that the life that they're living, it's not just about talk, it's about they're actually living that life. And it's important because somehow it gives hope, even when you're going through situations, it's very easy for you to think that Oh, because I'm going through a toxic relationship, there's no way out of it. There are people who have come out of toxic relationships, because somebody else was able to bring perspective to what they're going through, that because they were in the picture, they couldn't see it until somebody was able to bring perspective. It's very important that people find a way to find somebody that they can trust and open up. It takes a lot of courage. Nobody wants to find themselves in situations where they are disrespected or they are not loved in their relationship. Okay. I'll take Tommy Lola, then I'll come to you, Jennifer, from Ifaco, I believe. You're live. Go ahead. Tommy Lola, we can hear ourselves. Good evening. Go ahead. I want to say a word on to you guys in the studio. Thank you. Can you hear me? Yes, go ahead. All right. So now what we're saying is that in the end, it's unfortunate that we've left to agree, not to blame you, but also we have to feel as far as we feel to go. Now, I want to state this. Yes, we've lost these people and we want to appear about this, you know, which we don't have to deal with that. But I want to prove that I think I'm lying among these tasks. I have some opinions that say that I'm lying down, that they have gone that way and that they have done the mission in vain, but I know I'm telling you. For a long time we have not had a problem. At the time I was in depression, I don't know how to say it now. So I think we should ask questions. What is going on? Thank you. We should ask questions. Thank you. If we don't see them online, we should know what's going on with them. Very good point. Absolutely. Thank you. And I think that's a Patorankis song. Appreciate me when I'm alive. It's not when I'm dead. You will not start to be faking it behind my back. But let me confirm that he makes just to say that the industry in itself, the entertainment industry is a difficult one. Every day there are new stars coming up. So it's easy to lose track of old stars. And everybody's also struggling to maintain relevance. Everybody wants to stay relevant. Everybody wants to stay visible. But we were talking about this before this show started. There is an actor's guild who's representative of these people and their welfare, their well-being. There are some responsibilities. I don't know much about what the responsibilities of the organization are.  I mean there's just too much noise around that industry in general that people seem to fall off the radar and nobody's checking. But when they're at the height of it, when they have parties, everybody's there. Everybody's taking pictures. Everybody's out there. We're all air kissing, love, love, hug and all. But where is that real support? So it's a good point that we made. Very good point. Let me come to you Jennifer. So one thing I picked from this is I need people to know that it is okay to ask for help. A lot of people feel like asking for help kind of like makes you weak and it makes you vulnerable. But with human beings it is okay to be vulnerable. And this is especially for men. I think for women it's easier for us to ask for help. But for men it is a bit harder and that's the way society has made it. But I love that people are beginning to open up about things like this, about reaching out to people and asking for help. So when you're going through something, don't wait till it gets very bad. Because when it gets very bad, sometimes people cannot really handle it. Not a lot of people can handle your situation especially when you go to them for help. But cry out, say something, talk to somebody, talk to somebody that you trust. Like Uti said it is important to have people in your corner. I know growing up my dad was never really in support of us having friends and that's because him and my mom they've been burnt by friends and I saw it happen. But there was one thing I made a promise to myself and I told myself I would have my own community. I would always have friends. My dad kept telling me you have too many friends. I said leave it for me. Because from what I saw I kept telling myself I don't want to be like this. I don't want to be like you people. I know that you've been hurt but I know the importance of friendship. I know that you know I've been hurt by friendship. I've been hurt by people.  If you feel like you want to tell the entire world about it that's your business. And one thing I tell myself is I own my actions. I take responsibility for it. So no matter what I do if I've made a mistake I own it. So even if you take it out that's your business. I am not ashamed. We all humans we make mistakes. I'm not ashamed of it. Settle this right. We will live here helping somebody out there. So Noma and I another friend of ours Priscilla formed a community called Connecting the Dot. It's CTD we call it. So we used to meet every Saturday. So we used to take turns around each other's houses. And the goal for that meeting was just simple. We come together we're unburdened right. Just see what it is. I remember that 2017 was one of the darkest moments in my life. It was a day. I literally this is not a joke. I cried from morning like maybe around because our meeting was number was in nine or seven. I can't remember now. I had nine nine nine o'clock. I cried from nine o'clock. They took me to La Campana. I was still crying on the road. I got to La Campana. I cried and cried and cried until five p.m. that evening. That was when we finished that crime. And guess what? After that day, it's like the whole of the my spirit. So nothing has been able to get to me again.  Because I cried out my heart and I spoke and guess what we used to say in that group? Everything you hear here because we used to say it to anything you hear. If you like, carry the gist, you know, consign me. What we have done is that I have removed it from my chest. If whatever you want to do with that information, can you imagine why it's going through this? That's your headache. And we have to tell ourselves that you must be comfortable with people taking your gist around.  Until you get to that point where you do not care. What somebody else says about you, right?  Your children, like really your children, right? Young people, you just make them fatherless or motherless. Because what you're trying to hide is shame. What shame is there in it? Do you get my point? I mean, if you are going through something and I really want to hop back to was in NASA's point, you are my friend. You know this is what I'm going through. You see the toxicity in what it is that I'm in. At some point, you have to also take off all those protocol and yank that person out.  What is the point of saying now you're coming out to talk about it? The person is dead. He's gone. You cannot replace life. RGJ used to say something, our coach, RGJ, God rest his soul. He used to say what does not cost life can be replaced. Every other thing can be, marriage, husband, wife can be replaced. The only thing that cannot be replaced is a life. So if there's a situation where somebody needs help, right? And you decide to also be quiet, you're also part of the problem. Because in all of these things, right, there are toxic relationships. Let's not even kid ourselves. I've seen the height of toxicity of in relationship. But what I've said to myself, first of all, I will not be caught dead in any toxic anything that loses my, you know what I love about myself, peace of mind. Anything that gives me, that makes me start to think, I'm not thinking where I don't want to be there.  So once you prioritize your peace of mind, you will be able to easily take on some decisions without even looking back. So let me add to what you just said. Can I quickly come in? Sorry. Okay. Jennifer wanted to say something. Let her just quickly come in. Go ahead, Jennifer. So I remember having a conversation with somebody and the person was in something very unhealthy. And the remark was, what do people see? And the first question I asked is, who know you? And I'm like, even if somebody knows you or a lot of people know you, people know what you're going through. How many of them have actually sat you down to ask you? How can I help?  How many of them have actually preferred a solution for you?  They only want to be there when you're enjoying. They only want to be there when things are going good for you. And that's not the majority of people. And that's just life. But you have to look beyond that and look out for yourself because at the end of the day, it's your happiness that matters. And if you're not happy, what else is there to live for? You need to make sure that you're living for something. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. But first of all, you need to be ready to accept help. And if you don't open yourself to receive help, nobody, nobody would help you.  We've had situations where you have asked the person, come out of this situation. They have refused. We went to approve. I think she's coming to us. We went to approve one of our friends. Some people are very terrible marriage. She's fresh. She's happy. She's alive with her children. Norma, go ahead. Yeah, I just wanted to quickly say that it's simple. And I just want to use that this avenue to encourage somebody who might be quiet, who does not know how to express themselves or things like that. Why people need to find a way, most by all means, find a way to express themselves what they're going through. There would definitely be somebody around. I don't know.  Isolation is a killer. It has killed more people than we can imagine. If we do the statistics now, you can't even imagine how many people have died out of being rejected or isolated. So it's important that we find a way to express, whether it's somebody that we know or help groups now more than ever in the society, people are beginning to accept the fact that, yeah, they're support groups. They're places that you can go to. So it's not like back in the days that used to be taboo to talk about what you're going through. I mean, this is bringing a lot of emotion for me because we had so many issues where instances where we literally had to go drag people out of toxic relationships just so that they would be alive to tell the story today. I mean, I really, my heart really goes out to send Obea and he saw rest in peace. But this was somebody that died out of a broken heart. He made mention about his children.  I wanted to just chip in that we should be careful the utterances that we say, the things that we say, they're very important. There's power in the things that we say. Sometimes we may not be conscious or we may, because of the emotions that we're going through, we just make certain utterances, but it might actually come through in our lives. So for him, he died of a broken heart because this was someone who was going through so much and he was just by himself friends, sometimes finding difficult to help people because like Jennifer said, they have shielded themselves so much that they cannot get help. But if you can drag somebody out, drag them out, help them through the process that they're going through, because to have lost more lives through isolation and situations like this toxic relationships, because we were not paying attention. Let me give Uti the final word in one minute. What would you say? I think we've said so much. And the thing that stands out for me still is having a support system, having somebody you can talk to, because really every single person is going through something. Absolutely. Whether you now decide, I love, I share Jennifer's sentiment. I own every decision I make in my life. So whatever the consequences, good or bad, I take it. And I really don't care. There's a thing they say in Europe and women often say that, oh, how many would they count for me? And I'm like, if you want to count, count. If you want to talk, talk. I've seen, I think growing up, I saw so many women who walked in their own path and they were so much happier. There is so much going on in the world. You can't trend for five minutes. After five minutes, nobody remembers. Even if people will mention it, just in case you think that okay, people are talking about me. It's all of five minutes. It's all of five minutes. We move past things very quickly. The new cycle goes around very, very quickly. So if you are in that situation, this is a plea for the friends. When your friends drop off the radar, please look for them. When you are in a bad situation, even if you've been burnt before, find somebody to trust and talk. The friends who also give up. I've had people who I have spoken to for years before they took action, but I didn't give up. So you kept talking, supporting, checking up on them. I remember in my day, my friends had a call tree. If one person calls me and they don't hear from me, they will call everybody else. Because somebody said, you people want to wait until that girl is dead. And my friends did not rest. They did not sleep. And that's what everybody needs to have. An amazing, amazing village or community. Absolutely. On that note, thank you so much, ladies. Thank you to everyone that called. Thank you, Norma. Thank you, Jennifer. And thank you, Uti. We hope somebody out there is hearing and will take action today. Absolutely. There is nothing worth taking your life. If you're in a toxic relationship, step out today. There are people to help you. All right. Remember, you can drop a comment, follow us across all our social media handles. More importantly, follow all our engagement on social media, like, share, invite your families and friends to watch and follow the conversation. Now, if you missed our quote, very, very sad quote for today, it says, it says, but more tragic is the fact that his marriage did not only take away Obina from his friends. It took him away from Nollywood, sent, stopped acting, absconded from his career and perhaps his calling. And this was a quote from his close friend Zulu Okafo. Very, very sad note. We pray he's so rest in peace and we pray for his family, even his wife. We pray she also finds peace, you know, to rise above all of this. We see you guys tomorrow at 8 p.m. as we bring another great conversation to you soon. Enjoy.


Okay. So let's do O2 now. So the first thing I would do is write an oxygen atom, look at where it's placed on the periodic table, realize that it's got six valence electrons. I'm going to arrange them in this way because I know what the structure of O2 is going to look like, so I'm kind of setting myself up to make it easy on myself. The other thing I know already or also notice is that oxygen likes to normally have two lone pairs of electrons. So that's something that if you want to remember, it will help you later when you're building these molecules. So you can kind of set those two lone pairs aside and just work with these two electrons. So let's draw the other oxygen atom. Oxygen is a metal or a non-metal, guys? Non-metal. And oxygen is a metal or a non-metal? Non-metal. Okay, right? Oxygen and oxygen are a non-metal. So what kind of bond are they going to make together? Covalent bond, okay? You'll find that most of the things that we're doing today are going to be making covalent bonds. So that's the sharing of electrons. How do we show that? Like that, right? That's one covalent bond, two covalent bonds, right? So when I build the structure over here, what is it going to look like? Like that, right? So if we look, how many electrons does each of these oxygens have around it? Let's count them. How many should they have? Eight. Why? Octet rule. Everybody wants to have eight, okay? Let's count them. Do they have eight around them? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, right? Okay? Do the same thing for the other one. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. So both octets, okay? What's the overall charge of the O2 molecule? Not negative two. The overall, yeah, the oxidation state, okay? Zero, okay? Always the overall charge of molecules unless they show a charge on them are going to be zero, okay? So like in the last example that we did, F2, what's the overall charge of the molecule? Zero. Okay? Everybody okay with that? What about like my gold ring, gold AU, just gold atoms? Zero as well, okay? Any lone atom or molecule is going to be zero. So like the nonmetals usually like to make molecules, you know? The metals, they like to be kind of lone atoms, okay?  Probably not this early in the morning, well. It's also going to be oxidation state of zero. But once you get to making, start making like compounds like an aluminum chloride, you know? Well, that, sorry, that's going to be zero too, but. Something with the different. With charges, yeah, exactly. Well, aluminum chloride would actually be plus three N minus one, but it would be on the edge, borderline. Okay, everybody cool with this? Think you could build oxygen by yourself? What about nitrogen? Do you think you can build that?


This study aimed to systematically review and quantify the correlations between built environment attributes and physical activity, PA, in older adults, greater than or equal to 65 years old. The findings suggest that walkability, safety from crime, overall access to destinations and services, recreational facilities, parks or public open space, shops or commercial destinations, greenery and aesthetically pleasing scenery, walk-friendly infrastructure, and access to public transport are positively associated with PA. However, the strength of evidence for these associations varies depending on the type of PA and environmental measurement method used. The study highlights the importance of designing safe, walkable and aesthetically pleasing neighborhoods that provide easy access to a variety of destinations and services to promote healthy and active aging in older adults. This article was authored by David W. Barnett, Anthony Barnett, Andrea Nathan, and others.
