Hello everybody and welcome to the Thursday live stream So we got a lot of things to cover so let's just jump right in first of all if you haven't watched the NFA live show It was with me and Ben from another crypto verse and Jessica from coin Bureau Go check it out over on Ben's website links in the description. It was a pretty good discussion We talked about Ben and his meme coins and his alt coins that he's a degening in just kidding. We talked About a lot of different things that were going on especially that has to do with there's a coup coin issue That's been happening. It looks like they're being sued by the Department of Justice And we took a look at the four-year cycles and then we also took a look at the having or things were going on So it was a great show. So check that out but today what I'd like to talk to you about is There was a quick interview. This is on Fox Business. This was yesterday And it was Larry Fink and I was surprised to hear what he had to say Especially with just how things were going with with Bitcoin and it's only about a minute long So I just want to have you take a listen and we're gonna dissect about what he talks about So just take a listen to this again about 60 seconds or so come right back. I'm very bullish On the long-term viability of Bitcoin. I'm saying that that surprised me. That surprised me how much that's gone up I mean look at it. It is we're creating now a market that has more liquidity more transparency and I'm Pleasantly surprised and I would never have predicted it before we Filed it that we were gonna see this type of retail. So you don't you do good but not this good I thought Yes I bet is your ETF over at iShares It's about to overtake grayscale which was in the business certainly a lot longer You look at the gains since January 11th when it first came about Have you ever seen this much inflow this quickly into I bet is the fastest growing ETF in the history of ETFs That's all I got to know right there ITF is the fastest growing ETF in the history of ETFs And I think it's interesting that Larry fink and black rock all the different studies that they did and all the Information that they acquired and do the do their due diligence to come into the spot Bitcoin etf market And it's how blown away they actually were by the response And I think this will be part of the narrative moving forward because we've got some pretty big narratives coming up We have a Bitcoin having which is on roughly April 19th or April 20th, and of course we can also piggyback on top of this with what's going on as far as ETF So I think there's something to be said about that and when she said I The the co-hosts on Fox Business. She said have you ever seen something like this from the beginning in January 11th, and I Was actually shocked myself. I took a look at this and I it's it's so hard to remember Just how far we've come in such a short amount of time on January 11th when this whole thing started when we got excited about it Towards the end of December remember Bitcoin was at 46,000. I think it's good to keep perspective on this Especially with as we see just how far the price rockets up and look at this. It's essentially like a rocket ship So if you're in traditional finance you go from one, you know one piece for 46,000 and It doesn't double but it darn near does double up to a high of over 73,000 dollars in Roughly two months. That's an amazing rocket ship. I think that's what people will be talking about moving forward especially in traditional finance space and then also one more thing to take into consideration is that the reason why we still haven't really taken off is Well, unfortunately Because we have this thing called grayscale and this is from Hey Apollo calm It takes look at the Bitcoin ETFs and see this light blue right here This light blue is grayscale Bitcoin and what they've been doing is essentially dumping on or just getting out of their positions on grayscale whether that be because of FTX and they have to sell off or different creditors have to sell off to payback debtors But you can see that in the beginning it was 617,000 Bitcoin that they controlled and then as time went on of course the different the arc the fidelities They kind of eat into it to where right now In light green is I bit. That's black rock. They have 250,000 Bitcoin in their under their management right now Of course people will bought that and you can see over here in grayscale 335. So again went from 619 to 335 now it's not Exactly half, but it's quite a long way and we can see that just on March 27th Which today is a 28th yesterday. We had a grayscale outflow of 43 70 and an end a black rock inflow of 4700 so I think this is Moving in the right direction. So we'll see how it all plays out and then before we we move on I was just Monitoring the chats. I don't know if this is 100% correct But it looks like SPF may have gotten a 25-year prison sentence now. We had talked about this and I'm gonna feel live I'm not sure if this is actually come in or if this is a reality But we'll follow up with this and that if that is true that Sam got 25 years Quite a number, but we'll see how long it takes and that's actually a reality or a truth And how much he gets for good behavior anyhow, let me just think about that in the comment section, but There's one thing if we're talking about Bitcoin and how things are moving forward I find it fascinating and that this was shared with me on not X on the L2s And this is not L2s for aetherium. This doesn't layer 2s for aetherium. This isn't roll-up ZK roll-up side chains spider chains this is L2s currently that are offered or are in development on Bitcoin and one of the biggest ones if we scroll down here would be stacks and Stacks right here. They they label it as an anchored anchored chain and there's a different Mass amount of plethora of different types of L2s we can have for Bitcoin But I think this is one of the futures for Bitcoin. Look at this. This is over 30 different projects I think it's ever 40 different projects that are being built right now So I know we talk about the narratives and there is of course our deep end artificial intelligence web 3 dexes And I think one of these narratives that nobody's talking about right now, which I think is quite odd is These L2s which are coming forth and could be built on top of Bitcoin Which is the the most secure layer that we have backed by computational power Electricity and of course all the node operators across the world and the Bitcoin mining operation So when I take a look at this, I'm like this could be a very big play and If you know just going back to what Larry said he said he's very bullish on Bitcoin I think you can get even crazier with these L2s. There is a project as a matter of fact We're going to review over on Dan DJ. It's called velar velar velar. I always say names wrong But whatever else but it's a dex That's going to be built on top of Bitcoin using the stacks protocol and stacks has been around for years So I'll put that out. This will be on our second channel over on Dan DJ And again second channel Dan DJ and more risky stuff So if you want to like be a more of a gambler to go over there I'll just just state it that this is where you could do okay Or you could lose everything one of those two things happen So take it with a grain of salt, but the last couple of products within us been pretty good we just talked about aether as a matter of facts and the big one minutes network and Aether is a AI GP excuse me AI and deep-end project and then also minutes network Which is also in partnership with our world mobile token. They are a Deep-end telecommunications project. So check those out links are in the description for that and then also things move so fast in the crypto space Aether again is Especially the centralization of GPU cloud service for compute or computational resources for artificial intelligence And they just sign a major deal with gaming which essentially they just put on a 50,000 more gamer grade GPUs on top of their 400 XYZ of h100s xyz of h100s Which are the big guns for the processing units from NVIDIA anyhow those links in the description you can do your own research on that but I think that's a pretty big narrative on top of web 3 and Web 3 I sat down with Kiran who's one of the co-founders of Alluvium and we talked about It's pretty interesting story because their their game overworld is actually you can play that right now and then I believe beyond is out now and then early access is zero and arena and This project has been around since 2021 they first started and you can see that in 2021. This is why I say like everything will do well in the bull market at the Peak of the bull market This was heavily overvalued at almost 2000 per token this is on November 30th 2021 good times good times They didn't have a game out yet and really they just had like hey, this might happen Let's see what let's see let's roll the dice and everybody did and this is just kind of the lunacy that goes on in the bull market But during that time you said that the the price went down because there was no product Right, then they rolled out some things in beta and things are doing pretty well And I've always said pay attention to the projects That's build in the bear because they will crush it in the bull and look at these prices Down because there wasn't anything else then things came out They had one of their different games that were out and now on Q2 which Essentially as April May and June All four these games will be released over worlds already out beyond out Zero and arena are actually going to production and it's an interesting concept what they have with this one They're able to the tokens that you have you're gonna be able to stake those tokens and receive revenue That are collected throughout the game. So what I did again, I sat down with Kieran and We had a discussion about what's actually Happening and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna play right now It's about ten minutes and then we'll come back and we'll do a little Q&A and go from there So just take a listen Buddy what I want to do is just give an update to what's happening with the Luvian Monstrous game and I wanted to bring somebody you that could give really shed some light So Kieran welcome to the show for the second time Yeah, thanks for having me on Rob. Appreciate it. Yeah, man. So, you know how long it's been like five months It's been five months. So since we first came in you graciously stayed up till midnight over there in Sydney, Australia I was lounging around my pool my pool house. So I want to say I've returned the favor now We're here in the nighttime here in Puerto Rico. We had Grant on and He gave us some some great alpha. So just talk to us real quick about what the heck is happening with alluvium coming up Yeah, so it's it's really really exciting for us at the moment. So All three games that we've been building alluvium overworld zero and arena Going on to main net which means it's the first time that people will actually be able to earn from our games it's the first time that you'll be able to generate assets and It's it's really the moment that everyone in our community ends Even even further in in other gaming communities have been waiting for right where a proper triple a game is Is going live on main net but not just one all three at the same time Yeah, it's crazy. So like right now you guys have you have alluvium beyond which is what we were just taking a look at Right now, is that correct? This is the one right now. That's overworld and so yeah Yeah, so I think it's it's important to clarify We over the last couple of years. We've been putting out a whole bunch of betas Across all three games, right? So you can play arena. You can play zero. You can play overworld But they're not production builds if that makes sense and so Before we go live everything will reset and so you everyone starts at the exact same point and And yeah, that's that's why it's it's such a big deal because it's the first time that you'll ever be able to start actually earning inside of our games Great. So and this is all going to happen this Q2. We're taking a look at Yeah, so yeah Q2 so in the next what three and a little bit months That's crazy. This has been a long time coming. How long remind me how long has it been? How many years you guys were working towards this goal? so we The concept I was actually looking at some old texts that I was sending Aaron back in the day and it was like September 2020 Holy smokes. Yeah, so a long long time ago Yeah, but you know, what's great about everything everything hits right now and like this is like the like I always We talked about this in the channel. We're in the right place at the right time, especially right here We're about to go through a having everybody starts to understand about web three gaming It's not the cash grab that it was back in the day. Now. It's actually legitimate Really good games built by really good people rolling them out and that's I think is the most excited because like People right now. I don't think they realize just how lucky they actually are This is the time to be in in web three my my personal opinion. I could be wrong though Yeah, no, I tend to agree that the way that it's worked out is Is really lucky in terms of timing. I think the ball run has just started the The harbouring as you say is is around the corner next month And so it's probably gonna work out that we're launching right at perfect perfect time, but We didn't we didn't plan that it just you know, the scope. Yeah We were trying to launch in the in the hysteria or of Last full run or at least get the the end of it but when you're building something as large as what we are that has the the scale and three games Simultaneously and and a bunch of other DeFi applications that bolt on top of it like our staking and stuff like that. It just It takes a long time Yeah, well that would lead us to the next thing because this is why this is one of the reasons why I brought Sean because the staking aspect We all know about staking about okay, you throw on some coins You get some APY three months six months 12 months two years whatever you want to do But you guys are just different what you're doing It sounds like is that you're staking the alluvium token and then from the revenue that is generated from the different games that are out There that is going to flow back into the stakers. Is that how it's working? Yeah, so it's this crazy concept that we came up with again feels like 20 years ago but yeah, right right when we're building our tokenomics we wanted to do something different and Particularly when it came to like gaming in general right like there's this overarching rule where it feels like the developers They have Ungodly powers right they can do whatever they want and that comes down to game design Decisions it comes down to the revenue that they generate they can just keep it they can do whatever they want right and we wanted to fully decentralize a gaming studio and so we do that with new decisions that we make and new games that we want to build but then we also wanted to decentralize the finance aspect of it and so We've built this this mechanism where All of the in-game revenues that we have so from zero from arena from overworld they go into a vault and Periodically that vault will trigger. There's some parameters around like when that vault can actually trigger, but it will It will randomly trigger and we will buy I'll be back off the market. And so So what we're doing with that I'll be then is we're distributing it to all of the people that are staked in the protocol based on The time that you've staked and the amount that you've staked and so Yeah, what what we're hoping for there is that You're gonna get this I'll be and maybe it's fully unlocked what you're receiving there So we think that there's gonna be Some portion that gets sold immediately and some portion which people restake because they're like, okay The next time that these guys go and buy back off the market. I want a larger portion So I can you know continually compound that and so yeah, it's a it's a pretty crazy concept and if if the market goes back to what it was when Axi infinity was generating the crazy crazy revenues that they were We've done some modeling on what this would look like to our token price and it's It's just utterly utterly insane right like that amount of buybacks of a token is just it's unheard of So that sounds okay. That sounds great. I like where that is going How complex is that like right now like once you walk me through how that works as far as like the stake I think that that would really help everybody at home because we actually give them like like real value here So let's do this. I know It's somewhere here. We're on this web. So we're on alluvium.io, right? Yeah, we're like top left Yeah Click that one go to staking alluvium down. Yeah Okay, and next Well, yeah, so this is your dashboard. So this will show you the emission schedule We're nearly at the end of that so there's only seven more epochs to go It'll show you our token price how many holders there are how much ILV is actually staked It will give you the distribution of Both pools because you can either say just pure pure ILV or you can stay in the ILV slash ETH pool And so this gives you a nice Layout of what's going on, but if you want to stake you go to the third tab there on staking Oh, I got you Yeah, I'll use the my least favorite wallet of all time that I'm asking So all right, so I connect to my wallet. What's next? Yep, so now you've got your breakdown of two pools You've got the total value locked in in each and the APY is there obviously that ILV ETH pool has a lot higher APY but let's just keep it simple and And staking the ILV pool because they they both get the same amount of revenue distributions Okay, so we'll click on stake Before you continue or is it prove your wallet? approve And of course now you at home you might see this you might not because this is metamask And they'd like to shield things but it's gonna ask you to a custom spending cap You're gonna click on next and you're gonna approve that and approving ILV spend view on Explorer will wait It is pretty easy Kieran. I gotta tell you It sounds very complex, but it's like six or seven clicks really. Yeah, it's pretty good. I Don't know if you can see that transaction 102 confirmed. All right, so we So now if you go to stake Oh, I see I see Let's do I'll do 75% Okay, and now your duration so Depending on how much how long you stake for that's gonna give you up to a 2x multiplier So if you do at the full 12 months, you're gonna get 2x if you do six months, you're gonna get a 1.5 x All right, I'll do I do 12 months. I think I think this belongs gonna be nice Let's see stake. Okay, and then of course now you can't see this as well There's gonna be something that's gonna come up from metamask asked me to confirm this transaction Fees well, of course, it's Ethereum. What are you gonna do roughly? Not too bad $7 for for Ethereum. I'm feeling pretty great It's why it's late We did We did update our staking application to go to v2 which saved about I would say like 200% on now Gas fees. It was it was pretty crazy in the beginning in the bull run last Like two and a half years ago people were it was costing them like 500 bucks just to accept their rewards It was just crazy Hey, so remind me well, let's just talk about this now before we get we finish this up Is there any plans for doing anything is like layer 2s or something like that because we know what's happening here with with Layer 1 your C20s anything happening in the background So we're building on top of a mutable. So all of these Transaction costs won't exist for the user in game. How our DeFi Stuff which includes staking which you know as this rolls out and these revenues start coming in a big part of what investors are gonna Want to do is jump in and start Accepting their revenue distributions if you look right down the bottom left. It says rev diss claimed So you'll be able to you'll see that as you start claiming your distribution which is on the right and so And as you can see you've already started earning some I'll be on the left there. And so As people claim we feel like we're gonna need to move our b3 to a layer 2 as well and so Yes, that there's definitely plans there because it's not great to be claiming and it costing you, you know 15 bucks or whatever It's it's not a good experience. I gotta agree and that's right now. We know what's gonna happen next bull run So got you all right. So Karen, that was good. Give us an update. You showed us how to stake I got to appreciate it. So everybody at home if you're looking for The information we just talked about there's be links in the description for everything Karen any last words of wisdom for the people coming in in the next run here? I Would just say get for the people that are hunting around Different airdrops we have a very very large airdrop that's coming It's gonna start in our test net. So they'll be prior to us going live on main net there'll be a bunch of testing that we're doing and the airdrop will extend to that testing period and then it will move into production as well and Yeah, I haven't announced how much it's gonna be but it's Very very very big. So definitely your listeners should should participate in that Time to start playing cool Karen. I appreciate it man. Thanks so much everybody. Let's jump back Yeah, so that was good. So Karen again, thanks for stopping by and that was I mean, that's great I like to hear the new things that are going on with these projects that again They built in the bear so they can crush it right now in the bull They have all four games coming in queue to they've got their staking locked in and of course and Karen Just talked about it is they have a pretty massive airdrop happening all you gotta do is play the game Which is great I'm personally just going to have my grandson do it and then he'll play it and then we'll split the split this We'll split the costs. That's called child labor. What are you gonna do anyhow? That's that's it for today There is one more piece of information I would like to bring to everybody's attention and this just broke as we were doing the interview or the recording Which was looks like SPF did definitely get sentenced to 25 years in prison for massive Crypto fraud and I gotta tell you I've mixed emotions about this because you know SPF I mean, let's be honest. He wasn't like the business genius and obviously did illegal things but You know, if you take a look at 25 years for that type of fraud It is something I mean look at Albright from from Silk Road. He has a double life sentence For essentially putting up a website that a lot of people to trade things back and forth I'm not gonna get in the details, but I mean come on two life sentences of that and this guy gets 25 years Who's the bigger criminal just saying and here's what we have so everybody can be up and aware So the sentence in Manhattan federal court was significantly less than the 40 to 50 years in present at prison The federal prosecutors wanted so they wanted 40 50. They got 25. It's a pretty good. That's a pretty good for them That's a win and much more than the five to six and a half years that his lawyers had suggested That's what I had heard before that his lawyer said look Given five to six years we paid off everything, you know for all the fcx creditors now They got back what they were what crypto that they had but it was in the 2022 Price range of when FTX collapsed so it wasn't actually They got everything back.  I'm not for sure if it was in cash I always forget this correct me in the comment section but people did receive some of their funds back that is for sure and This is what Sam said in prison are in and during the sentencing and I have to You know at least he stood up and said yeah, I did this he states They built something beautiful.  It's been excruciating to watch this all unfold He told judge Kaplan customers don't deserve this level of pain I was a CEO of FTX and I was responsible. How many people actually say that these days? How many people say that I'm responsible? Nobody I'm not giving Sam a pass, but I'm just saying no no one says that anymore Judge Kaplan increased the sentencing guidelines range from bankman to a max of 110 years We could have got 110 but he got 25 and who knows what he gets off if for good behavior and for parole I don't know those specifics, but this could be happening 110 years in prison after finding he had perjured himself at his trial and knowingly obstructed justice I believe he reached out to somebody to kind of stifle information The judge also found Thursday the total loss of the fraud at FTX exceeded 550 million Judge Kaplan said he rejects the entirety of defendants arguments that there was no loss at FTX Calling that claim misleading logically flawed and Speculative it sounds like the entire crypto market almost anyhow That's what we have 25 years and that's it for today So look like today's video give a thumbs up consider subscribing I'm gonna talk about his time sensitive especially as we go into the bull run Justice may have been served today, but we'll talk about in Q&A. So let's jump into it Q&A or take off Thanks so much for stopping by all right Jeff says appreciate your energy. It's infectious. Today's just a good day I've been doing a lot of things so you know Looks like Thursdays are my good days Yeah, Remerick says yeah, the soul the Silk Road guy proud I hit on somebody Maybe who knows and That's why I say like, you know, there's different nuances to every case. I had heard that as well I don't know if it was actually proven or if that was just Brought forth by the government. I'm not for sure but two life sentences Seems kind of ridiculous She always says free Sam. I'm not saying that And there's repercussions for every actions and that's just how it goes More monkey business Trump will come in and part of him. No, he will not There is no connection between Trump and Sam Bakman Fried that I know of the only the only The only connection that I know of is Sam And Gary Gensler and everybody loves him. So, yeah Let's see This is a good quote This is a good question Jason Paloas says are the politicians giving the money back that SBF donated to them It's a great question You know, it's a funny thing because like I just read an article that Celsius is trying to claw back some of the funds that people had And taken off the platform within a certain amount of time I want to say it's like a week to two weeks trying to claw those back but yet with the politicians don't hear too much about those and he He donated a ton of money To a lot of difference politician now those were on both sides to be fair Democrats and Republicans so when everybody says this politicians good that politicians good, they're all liars and You can't convince me otherwise. They're all awful. Let's see.  Thank you. I'll keep an eye on it for sure Yeah, I mean Ather and the GPU AI play is going to be big full to full transparency. I'm investing into it Just so everybody knows I mean, I don't see the point of talking about anything on either my channels If I don't invest into it and have skin in the game, but yeah We'll see how it all works out. I try to get on as a node operator, but Not in America. Thanks Gary Jh says Rob do you on Michael strategy? I do not but apparently it's done massively well over the last three or four months Maybe Wall Street folks are going short on it and could be a great setup for a glorious short squeeze perhaps Yeah, I saw that in the chats that there was a Opportunity is there's a pullback on price, but we'll see, you know, Jessica from coin beer They had a really good point. We were talking about the gold company that's investing into Bitcoin and dumping millions into it and She had said that yeah, if you take a look at their stock price, it actually increased by over a thousand percent once that was I Want to say that's what she said go watch the NFA live show but you said it was it was a vast increase for their stock price of this gold mining operation and How interesting it was and right timing that they haven't anything but she did say that the CEO had stepped down and talked about a pump and dump so Interesting times and that's case Let's see Ed says we need a poll for who will fill in for Ben the next week. Yeah, Ben's gonna be on vacation So next week will be on this channel and I think it'll be me Jessica Nick from also from coin Bureau. We'll see Hmm Jeff says with Sam sentencing. I wonder how many years our good friend Alex machine ski will get I don't know But did you guys know that Alex machine ski is out walking free right now? Hosted bail no problems Not a care in the world Just watching the world burn former CEO of Celsius Essentially a Ponzi scheme towards the end walking free Amazing. We'll see if justice gets served there Guy was on my show like three or four times like right to my face actually I can't say that because in the beginning it actually was a valuable Company it actually did it was supposed to do it's got over their skis. They did some made some bad decisions That's how it is, which will leave me to a point. Which is this? All the different projects that you have invested into just remember that as good as they are With as good as the promises that they are that they have doesn't mean that they'll make it There are so many companies that just don't make it and crypto is no different So don't like Ben talks about don't marry an alt Because it really comes down to partnerships Execution and of course the roadmap and where they can actually fulfill it and actually make things work It doesn't always happen. That's just how it is. You have the best intentions. Sometimes they just screw up Huh dirty dances Rob nothing to do with crypto But I work at a hospital.   It's a good company. I loved it I got to you know, I was a medical device sales rep Which was a pretty good job after getting out of the army as a medic I got to go around and go to the different surgery centers and teach doctors and nurses and wound care clinics How to use this device fun fun times Any how back to crypto Posted bail with customers funds talking about Alex Machinsky. Yeah, good question ICP and near-priced target. I gotta tell you Insane clown posse is now. It's kidding. So internet computer protocol Let's take a look that's another one that I've invested into a little bit here and there This one good. There's one of those big monsters When it first launched But as I understand it It was kind of a competitor to Solana and spf and the crew Kind of 86 that and they had some Did some behind the scenes things. I've just heard stories. It's all hearsay. So I can't really evaporate, but Yeah, look at this. Look at this 461 now. It's at three bucks. Wow. It's nothing $18 now in the last Last month not too bad. Last three months pretty good So price predictions, let's see I'm gonna say by the end of 2024 Internet computer protocol will be between the price of 50 cents and 750 dollars Somewhere between there pretty sure and then near Let's see Which hey good news. I'm gonna have uh The co-founder of near on uh, ilia kalushka. I think it's how he says his last name He's he's going to have a sit-down today. Matter of fact with Vitalik buterin over at the I think it's dev asia A conference And he'll be on we're gonna talk about chain abstraction and the things that are going on dark shard dark sharding dank sharding And go from there. I know what that was. So let's see here Near's doing great Let's max out though. It's still pretty good Uh, so let's see seven dollars The high was 20 let's say It's gonna be somewhere between 50 cents and 750 dollars same as icp. I don't know. I don't know where it is Um No idea, but I know they're gonna do well. I'm glad I hold them Oh, that's a good one. Let's just go with sapien scorpion price starts price be 223 for near 46. Hey, why not? Olivia me down four and a half percent today Probably because they knew that kirin was going to be on the show You know like, you know what? Let's give digital asset news and all of his Watchers the opportunity to think about getting in at a cheaper price of four and a half percent less as a discount Thank you Everybody who sold their near or sold their louvian Yeah, john's right near is gonna gonna go past 50 cents. I gotta agree Just says thanks. I got near at 176 one of my reasonable calls Not that I've nailed them all that's for sure But uh, I think just over the long term people do pretty well As long as you don't leave anything in exchange is like, I don't know like a voyager or a celcius. Who would recommend that? Yeah, from now on cold storage is the only way to go For me Which would remind me a couple of things If you're looking for a cold storage wallet Like I use tangent my osu's ledger people like tracer just pick one and and use it Tangents got to be the easiest. Oh, and I just saw that they updated their roadmap And it looks like in q2. They're gonna have native staking for a whole host of of cryptos Which is pretty great because that was one of the biggest knocks I would kind of it It was an irritant for me like a lot. I'd like to stake like I could with ledger As far as native staking But uh I couldn't do it because tangent doesn't didn't offer that but I just saw this Right here This was from today So the roadmap for for tangent Is in april they're going to add in and they've already got hundreds and hundreds of hundreds of different cryptos as you can put on on the device Radiant nexa moon beam manta moon river. All right. Hey playable I have a node over there zk evm polygon zk sink mantel flare terraxa and some other ones then in May icp. Hey nice joy stream say bit tensor for the good ai play Dynax coin os and then right here Uh staking's going to be solana cosmos polka dot polygon cardano awesome avalanche tron Binance near. Whoo. I'm gonna make a ton of money. Tezos chrono scava Additional in future. That's great because I like it just locked in on the cold storage device I don't have to transfer it that are are having on a on a on a hot wallet But then connect it to my tangent wall. That's not the whole point of cold storage I don't like to do that at all not a big fan So that's good. I'm pretty happy about that And of course if you're looking for the tangent wall first watch the video there's a link in the description And then if you want to buy it there's a 10 percent affiliate link. Just know If you use that affiliate link, I got a kickback. But if you can't stand using affiliate links, don't use it Just go right to tangent and buy that that card You don't get the 10 off, but You proved a point All right Sorry Ah, today we are bargain shoppers. I have to agree Thomas is thank you for having thoughts on staking trx and trolling out. I'm not familiar with that one um How that works out? I can't really can't tell you uh tron I know some people give it a lot of a lot of hard knocks, but I think it's still in the top 30, correct It's been around for longer than most that are out there. So we'll see if it can make it Okay Rob gets kicked back in mafongo. If you guys don't know what mafongo is come to portorico Nothing but mafongo everywhere I'm not a fan alexar says it's only hot if you keep it connected. I know what there is a There's a connection there. I just don't want to deal with that's all Physics says spf sends to 25 years exactly. Yes, sir Yeah, jeff says those 10 10 discounts really add up when buying for a handful Yeah, like I got I bought Matter of fact for my kids this goes christmas gave them all tangems So they were very happy with that Oh, I just found out.  It's uh, no big deal. I mean that just happened It could have been 50 years it could have been 4 to 6 but they gave him 50 my question is you know with good behavior. When does he get paroled? It's got to be a couple of years. It's got to be at least five, right Thomas says hey, Thomas says I'm moving from Cali to Puerto Rico next week. Are you gonna like Just so you know Puerto Rico is expensive It's not I don't think it's as expensive as as california I mean, but it's it's pricey. So Thomas I'm hoping that you've already been here and you've already checked it out And yeah connections. We always do meetups every couple of weeks So just pay attention over I announced it here. Usually I'll do it over on x. So, yeah and if you're looking for like CPAs and real estate agents and things to help you with the x60 and lawyers. There is a Video I put out if you just search for digital asset news Puerto Rico. It's the first one that comes up It's a one-year update video. It has all the links that you possibly could need to get everything started Oh, yeah, I know that big bad says if it's federal you're supposed to at least 85 But also You can still appeal right Because if you appeal Then you come back a couple years later like, okay. Well, it's not such a high-profile case now.  So First of all congress you have to understand that congress is not competent and they can't move fast and Everything that they try to do it's like we're gonna do a resolution We're gonna bring this bring this to the floor and then somebody will Will knock it and know some will poop go all over and then it won't get passed and that's it It doesn't even make out a committee So, I mean if it does it does it's just how it is, but I'll still live here. It's great Like today, I'll probably gonna probably hit the beach John says tennis courts in federal prison Pretty nice Mike says when are you going back to El Paso? I think may or june somewhere around there Not in any rush except for the food Food is great over there. Uh, but El Paso is great. We live there for two decades Every tax advantage is good until it isn't that's true. All right, buddy. So I think we answered all the questions. That's good. A lot of things going on and Check out that's the NFA live video. We did it was good over on Ben's channel real good information. I liked it, but um There is links in the description. I'd like you guys to Definitely take a peek at First of all, if you want to take more Of an insight into aluvium and the staking and all that There's the website the bitcoin l2s, which there's a ton of l2s That you can get information on It's all right there And let's see and then one more Valar bitcoin l2, which I think is a dex information there the aether the d-pen ai video which that token The node cells are going on now um, but just to describe how it is Yeah, watch that video the token itself will be launching sometime in q2 as I believe it might be in early as may And so check those out and then any kind of other stuff you're looking for is in the description That's it for today So everybody, thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate it Enjoy the rest of your day and I will see you guys on the next one. Have a great Have a great day. Bye

The Cave Twins by Lucy Pitch Perkins. Chapter 10. The Voyage After Limba Lake had had a ride, the twins took a turn while their mother washed them from the shore. It's almost more fun than our logs. When he set fire top when he took his first ride, they played with the boat and tried all sorts of experiments with it and were so happy and excited that it grew dark and the moon came out before one of them so much as thought of anything to eat. For days and days after that, Hawkeye worked on his boat. He found out all his tricks. He even found out that he could go in deep water if he paddled. He found it out first by using his hands for ores. Then he chopped out a clumsy flat paddle.  He could keep a right side up and make it go where he wanted it to at any rate. Sometimes he ventured out into the deep water around the gulf's rocks. One day he even rowed all around them. He could look down in the water and see shoals of fish swimming about but he could not catch them. When he went back to the cave that day, he said to Limba Lake, I have an idea. Why can't you weave a kind of net out of the leather tongs? I can fasten it in the water out by the rocks and catch fish in it. The water gods may like us very much as you say but they haven't been throwing any fish up on land for us since the earthquake so I'm going to try to catch some. To be sure, said Limba Lake, we snare rabbits, why shouldn't we snare fish? They had made hooks out of bone and had caught river fish sometimes when they lived back in the forest but they had not brought any hooks with them on their journey. They had always been more used to hunting game than to fishing anyway. Now with a sea full of fish right at hand waiting to be caught they began to think more about it. If we could catch fish we should have more food right at hand than we could possibly eat without ever hunting at all. If we didn't want to, said Hawkeye. After that Limba Lake spent days and days tying leather tongs together in a coarse net while Hawkeye made bone fish hooks for himself and Limba Lake and the twins and fastened them to long fine strings of leather. By August Hawkeye had taught the twins how to fish the strings for trout and he himself had learned how to fasten his net between two of the gull rocks and catch the fish that swam in deep water. There was nothing Hawkeye liked so much as going out in his boat. He went up and down the coast for miles and it was not long before he knew every little creek and inlet and bay on the eastern end of the island. At last one day in August he said to Limba Lake I'm going to load the boat with food to last a few days and see if I can get over to the mainland. It is only a short distance across to the nearest point. I've been farther than that in my boat already. But I'm afraid you'll be drowned cried Limba Lake and then what shall we do? You can take care of yourselves said Hawkeye. The children can already fish in the streams and there are the rabbits and the clams. You will not want for anything while I'm away. But we shall be lonesome cried Limba Lake and suppose you should never come back. But I shall come back said Hawkeye. You'll see. Limba Lake knew it was useless to say anymore and the very next day she and the twins helped him load his boat with deer meat and wild plums and acorns and then Hawkeye put in his spear and his stone axe and hooks in line and got in himself. The three of them stood on the beach and watched him push off from their island and start across the channel toward the mainland. They watched him until the boat was a mere black speck in the distance. Then they trudged slowly back to their lonely cave. There followed many anxious days and nights. Limba Lake went back to hunting again. She took the twins with her and began to teach them to hunt like men. If anything should happen to me you could take care of yourself if you knew how to hunt and trap as well as fish. She said beside getting food for their daily needs they began to store it for the winter. They gathered nuts by the bushel and piled them in heaps in the corner of the cave. Whenever they were not sleeping or doing anything else they were always gathering wood for the fire. In this way four long weeks went by. At last came a day when the wind was sharp and it seemed as if summer were nearly over. Limba Lake and the twins had gone down to the cave behind their block to get clams for supper. They had one of Limba Lake's baskets with them and had nearly folded with clams. They were out some distance from the beach line for the tide was low. Suddenly the water began to rise. The returning tide came in such a flood that they had to run as fast as they could carry them to get safely ashore. They had reached the bank and were just beginning to climb slowly up the bluff when they heard a shout behind them. Limba Lake was so startled that her knees gave way under her and she sat right down in the basket of clams. They looked across the cove and there coming in with the tide was their own boat with brave Hawkeye in it waving his hands to them. They could see three other heads beside Hawkeyes but neither Limba Lake nor the twins could tell whose heads they were. They saw a basket of clams on the side of the bluff and tore down to the water's edge. As they came near the shore they saw Granny looking scared to death, sitting in the bottom of the boat and holding on to each side with all her might. Behind her were Blackbird and Squaretoes. The moment the boat came near shore the two boys tumbled out at the back end of it nearly upsetting Granny and splashed through the shallow water to the shore. They buttered firetop in the stomach of the sand to show how glad they were to see them. When at last the prowl of the boat grated on the sand and Granny and Hawkeye got out the four children ran round them in circles like puppies screaming with joy. Even Limba Lake danced. Granny clapped her hands over her ears. When the noise had calmed down a little she seized firetop and firepla and shook them soundly.  Here you are alive and well and fast as rabbits and all this time I worried the heart nearly out of me wondering what had become of you. It had been such a long time since the spring morning when the twins had stolen away out to the cave that at first they did not know what Granny was talking about. They had never thought how she Mr. Felve and she found out they were gone. Hawkeye laughed. I brought Granny back with me on purpose to give you what you deserve, he said.  Just you wait until I get a stick! cried Granny. She looked fierce as she said it but the twins knew very well she was just as glad to see them as they were to see her. He seized her hands one on each side and began to pull her up the hill Blackbird and Squirtle's push from behind.  Granny holding back with all her might! I can't run so fast! I'm all out of breath! We'll run you then! screamed the children and they pulled and pushed until they got her panting and breathless to the top of the hill. Hawkeye had drawn his precious boat high up on the beach out of the reach of the tide and he and Lumber Lake followed more slowly with the basket of clams. At the top of the hill the twins with Blackbird and Squirtle's ducked led to the cave just like Mice diving down a mouse hole. Granny was left standing alone on the hilltop. She couldn't see what had become of the children. She could hear their voices and down the bluff she could see a thin column of smoke rising. She knew the cave must be there but she didn't know how to get to it. When Hawkeye and Lumber Lake came up they took her with them through the little green alley that led to the cave. When they reached it the children had flung a great pile of sticks on the fire and the flames were leaping high in the air to welcome them.  She took Granny into the cave and showed her the piles of warm skins and the heaps of nuts and then she showed Granny how to cook clams. The twins had taken Blackbird and Squirtle the very first thing to see the rabbits. They then came back for Granny and made her go and see them too and when everyone had seen everything there was to see it was dark and Lumber Lake had a real feast ready for them to eat. She had killed a deer the day before and so they had broiled venison seasoned with sea salt. They had clams steamed with seaweed and they had nuts and vile plums. When they had all stopped themselves full Lumber Lake said to Hawkeye Now tell us all about your journey when you went away we watched you from the hilltop until you were a mere speck on the water. We knew nothing more than you until we heard your shock today there were many very days between they were not very to me said Hawkeye. I reached the other shore in safety and then turned my boat toward the sunset. I kept in the shallow water near the shore and followed the coast around the end of the point of land where we crossed when we came here I knew our river must empty into the big water not far away and so I paddled up the first stream I found I slept in the boat at night the first night I was awakened by the howling wolves but I had only to push my boat out into the stream they would not follow me there. For two days I paddled upstream the second day I bagged on to see things that I knew and on the morning of the third I reached the river path just as Grannie was coming down for water. Yes! Yes! cried Grannie. I thought I was dreaming the boat frightened me. I thought Hawkeye was dead and that I saw his spirit and I started to run to the cave. Did you think we were all dead? Has the number like? Yes! said Grannie. I thought some cave bearer or tiger had got you. You were always so bold and venturesome and as for these worthless ones she added padding part up on the head I didn't know whether they had gone with you or had stolen a vein to the woods and been eaten by an old sabotooth. Well, you see cried Limberlake laughing. It pays to be bold and brave. When she said bold and brave she looked right at Hawkeye. She thought he was the boldest and bravest man in the world. There aren't any sabertooth tigers on this island and there's plenty to eat every day. Didn't the others want to come do when you told them about it? She said to Hawkeye. They all wanted to come, Hawkeye answered that they would not hold so many so I stayed to show them how to make boats for themselves. Longarm and Bigger and Grey Wolf are all at work on them now and they will come in the spring or summer if they get them done. How will they know the way? asked Firetop. I told them just how to follow the river and the coast and where to cross said Hawkeye. They can't help finding the island and if they find the island they can't help finding us. I told them we were on the side where the sun rises out of the water. It had grown very dark as they talked. There was only firelight in the cave but just then Slimberleg saw a bright streak on the edge of the water toward the east. Look Granny, look! She cried pointing to it. We have discovered the secret of the sun and the moon. They both sleep in the water. The children and Granny and Hawkeye and Slimberleg all watched together until the white streak grew brighter and stretched in a silver path across the water to the beach below. They saw the pale dusk of the moon slowly rising to the deep blue of the night sky and the stars winged down at them. I suppose no one else in the whole world knows the secret, said Slimberleg solemnly. You see, this is the end of the world. You can't go any further. Except in my boat, said Hawkeye. The spirits of the water have been good to us, said Slimberleg. We will not tempt them too far. If there are more secrets we will not try to find them out. Someday, said Hawkeye, Someday I mean to go, but Slimberleg would not let him finish. No, she said putting her hand over his mouth. No, you're not going anywhere at all. Ever again. You're going to stay right here with us and be happy. Lennwa. Long, long ago when the earth was young and time was not yet old, you're all the stars in the sky where hung or the silver moon grown cold. When the clouds that sailed between the worlds were fanned with fluttering wings and over all the land there curled the fronds of growing things. When fishes swarmed in all the seas and on the wooded shore they roamed among the forest trees a million beasts or more. Then in the early morning of time, called from the formless clod came man to start the very climb from wild beasts up to God. Oh, bravely did he dare and do and bravely fight and die or you today could not be you and I could not be I. End of chapter 9 End of the Cave to Inspire Lucy Fitch Perkins


I mean, look, in the end Kinamon's plan wasn't that hard to understand, you just put the two lines on the snakes, turn it into a lizard but get rid of some characters, consider how much this whole section just looks like a bra, then turn it upside down, spin it all around and it is clearly telling you to subscribe to the Grand Line Review for regular One Piece content uploaded straight into your YouTube feed. And it really is that simple because Kinamon is a true mastermind. Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything One Piece and today we have a review of chapter 975, Kinamon's Clever Trick. And there is just so much to like about this week's chapter and a lot to digest artistically because it seems like more than usual these panels are just chock full of details that you really want to linger on and the primary example of this is right at the beginning in that wonderful sequence of seeing the shots of all the straw hats aboard the sunny. And at first I wasn't sure why this hit me quite as hard as it did, I thought that well we've just gone through the longest flashback that this series has ever offered us and it's nice to get back to normality but it's actually so so much more than that because looking back on it I realize that not including Jinbei the straw hats are all together and that's kind of weird. I mean it sounds like such a plain thing but these nine characters have not been shown in the same place since the very beginning of the dress rose rock when they were aboard the sunny and then very quickly went their separate ways not to be reunited again until this very moment in chapter 975. So surprisingly big stuff and even though my brain didn't realize it my wanky inner self sure did because it's been almost seven years to the day actually slightly less because dress rose began on March 4th 2013 but it's still practically been seven whole years since we have had a moment like this. So already this chapter satisfied a huge craving that I've had not just all throughout Wano but throughout most of the new old era and so yeah naturally I found myself lingering on these first few pages just marveling at what should in theory be a relatively simple experience but I'm glad I did because taking in all of the Wano battle designs of the straw hats is well worth it if you did not do so initially and there's just so many highlights Frankie being one of them with his really cool helmet with a crescent moon adorning it very kozuki chic but one of my favorites has to be Nami because look I don't have my hopes up too high but seeing her dress with battle climb attacked in hand and everything is very promising plus she just looks fantastic with the flower decoration in her hair which looks incredibly similar to the ones that Hyori wore so I'm wondering if they may have had an encounter at some stage or if this is just a common accessory in Wano and something I noticed last week but didn't bring up because I forgot with all the hype is the fact that Luffy and Brooke are no longer wearing their samurai attire which they got from the Tengu Yama in chapter 959 so I do wonder what prompted them to change like maybe they got caught up in a battle somewhere but Chopper still seems to have his gear on so that's just a bit of an interesting visual note I do really like how Luffy looks though more so than ever before his design feels like that of a captain and I love that he has the cape on which is actually very evocative of the cape that Shang's wears there are also some comments last chapter on Law's outfit which actually looks a lot like Rosinante's old feathery jacket thing the sort of gothic version of Dolphin Mingo's pink extravaganza and I doubt that it's the same jacket because that would require a weird set of circumstances where child Law somehow gets the coat of Rosinante after his death but it definitely evokes Rosinante pretty strongly so thanks to everyone who pointed that out because I love it and I'm sorry to keep harping on about design so much but I also really love Sanji's sleek look here with the black gloves and everything and in fact Brooke is also wearing black gloves which is kind of cool and I wonder if it signifies some sort of plan that they have to do some sneaky operation together which is why they're now dressed effectively as international spies rather than in full samurai battle gear they just look so set up to infiltrate something somewhere and for some reason but finally my favorite design revealed in this chapter is 100% the beautiful little cloud that is Zeus he is beyond adorable and I'm glad that one of the members of the crew clearly had the thought of you know what Zeus yeah you need a hat and I'd love to know who it was because it feels like a very unlikely thing for Nami to do although maybe I mean she's pretty proud about her fashion choices and Zeus is now kind of an extension of her so it's not out of the question or perhaps it was Zeus himself who wanted the helmet because he's a pretty fun loving little cloud but onto the actual substance of the chapter look it was filled primarily with a lot of technical revelations and what I mean by that is it was basically a string of questions and statements and a few actions that provide the solutions to minor plot puzzles much of which was stuff we already had a pretty good idea about but this also includes stuff that we blatantly knew but that had not yet been revealed to the actual characters such as dengerow and the big mom kaito alliance but we'll start with dengerow because why not dengerow popping into action was a pretty awesome moment and I really enjoyed his display of power which sees him slice open a gigantic ship with absolute ease which is one of those trademark moves of the world's most proficient swordsmen I mean we first saw this idea demonstrated in the baratier arc which blew our minds seeing me hawk easily slice up all of kreeks armada but after the time skip we learned that Zoro was now capable of this feat as well and seeing dengerow do the same thing here gives us a very effective tangible cue as to what kind of level of swordsmanry that he currently inhabits but the best part of dengerow was definitely when he removed his kyo shiro disguise and we are now left with dengerow's final form and I have to say that this design is certainly going to take it's going to take some getting used to I mean when I first saw it I thought it looked like one of those cursed images you know the ones that tend to take kizari's face and put them on the characters to create various meme masterpieces well that's pretty much what I felt here it looks like you've taken kyo shiro's face and put it on flashback dengerow's body I'm sure I'll get used to it though but also most of our technical reveals came from this moment as well when dengerow explained how their forces had avoided aruchi's pots to stop them by blowing up the bridge and stuff which was pretty fun I mean I completely buy the explanation that aruchi was just inept and acted way too late to stop the plan ah and speaking of plans the biggest technical reveal comes up with the explanation of why the vassals showed up to no forces whatsoever and basically this is one of those situations that won't hit as hard as it could in English because the twist here is primarily based in Japanese wordplay but basically kinemon took yaosu's message and purposely misinterpreted it as him having drawn legs on a snake thus turning a snake into a lizard and the Japanese word for lizard is tokage and obviously all the ports in one are named after animals so kinemon then led his close group to believe that they were now meeting up at the lizard port aka tokage port but in reality the two lines were not meant to signify legs but rather remove characters from harbu minato meaning harbu port and turning that into hato which tldr means that kinemon purposely misread the message because he knew there was a traitor within his titanic group which led to kandro being misinformed which led to aruchi being misinformed and so kaito's forces gathered here and look in japanese this is probably a very simple explanation that makes sense immediately and is likely a brilliant little piece of wordplay but in english it certainly does take some digesting I'm pretty satisfied with this tone of events though because it means that yaosu's legacy firstly isn't ruined by aruchi thwarting his final message but in fact it's actually much more profoundly useful than he may have even thought it to be thanks to kinemon's sudden genius level IQ so this chapter certainly does leave me with a pretty incredible feeling of respect in regards to kinemon who rather deservedly gets the final panel of the chapter with such a strong glare and for the first time in his history of the series really does make me feel like I do not want to mess with kinemon on any level because he will destroy me and speaking of destruction this chapter came with its fair share of very hype action which saw luffy lore and kit all leap into battle in what is absolutely my favorite page of this week it's weird but there's something so iconic whenever these three are featured together which is obviously burned into our minds from the first sabbadi arc where they briefly joined forces for the first time but as a result seeing stuff like this comes with a side dish of nostalgia because it takes your mind back to when they were simple rookies and it makes you realize just how far all three of them have grown over the past two years and I'm still super keen to find out how they eventually convince kid to join this assault but his presence is certainly one of the best things that has happened in this arc especially when you see that little panel of the three of them arguing because kid and luffy pretty much just exist to fire each other up it's a very different dynamic to luffy and lore or even luffy and beige one that I find much more exciting and I do love that law is also there acting as a sort of mediator and I mean man he probably feels beyond frustrated right now because it was hard enough for him just to deal with luffy let alone adding kid into the mix it's a really powerful combination though and seeing these three together does give me a ray of profound hope even if their teamwork is questionable or highly questionable even I actually think it's more the promise of the sheer amount of chaos that these three can cause because again luffy is enough of a force of his own in these sorts of events but when you add in kid who as far as I'm convinced is just another chaotic luffy type presence and well you have a solid recipe for anarchy coming right up and something I honestly forgot about until I read the chapter through a second time is another one of our technical reveals which is that a bit of time was taken to inform the allied forces that big mom and kaito had now engaged in an alliance so obviously that's not news to us but it is something that our protagonist did need to discover eventually which I guess has an appropriately subdued effect on the chapter I mean the reactions from kid in law kind of reflects that of the readers who were just like hmm yeah that's interesting because we already know although I would like to say that kid is an interesting one to examine because remember that he does not just have a vendetta against kaito as he openly declared war against big mom and sunk some of her ships which is why tamago was so keen to take the treasure from luffy on fishman island so that they could replenish their losses so kid hearing this must be like oh well that's two infinitely powerful people that I've pissed off severely present in the one spot what could possibly go wrong whereas you cut to law and he's just sort of silently shitting himself because to him this association with luffy just keeps getting worse and worse and he's probably casting his mind back to the days of punk hazard and regretting ever forming this alliance to begin with but hey there isn't anything that he can do about that right now I also notice that in these two panels we get to see some of the kid pirates and the heart pirates but killer is noticeably absent from the shot so I do wonder what's up with that as every other major figure of the straw hearts the heart pirates and the kid pirates were shown in this chapter so I guess that odor is saving the revelation of killer's presence for another purpose and one other thing I wanted to mention before I realized that it wasn't actually true was that this was the first moment that the kozuki vassals would have all been gathered together since the Odin incident which would have been monumental but then I remember that nekomamoshi is still nowhere to be seen so the cat is the sole factor preventing this epic reunion from happening right here and now but that also brings some promise with it as well because as much as this chapter had me hyped even with the forces that denjuro has acquired this is still nowhere near enough to take down kaito and orichi let alone big mom and potentially her crew as well like you can throw all of the numbers of random samurai in the world out there they are not touching an emperor of the sea so we are still very much waiting on the nekomamoshi developments to really properly start turning the tide of battle here and whether he brings jinbei or the grand fleet the wipey pirate remnants or anyone else that we've endlessly speculated upon that is going to be the true signal that world changing events are fully in motion and I guess that doesn't necessarily need to happen anytime soon I mean we've just had a lot of rescue revelations one with the worst generation last chapter and one with denjuro this chapter so a third one in quick succession might be a lot of overkill instead odin might save that for a point during the raid on onigashima where things look like they're going less than great for the allied forces but then with one gigantic boost of morale and manpower we get pushed into a final more favorable conflict in any case we'll be waiting a while because next week is sadly a break for one piece and I'm really really hoping that global events don't go on to affect the future of the series too much because 2020 at the moment is still set to be one hell of a year for one piece and as always I am anxiously awaiting more but what do you guys think please leave your

Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to Unizor education. Today, we will continue talking about symmetry in three-dimensional space, primarily symmetry relative to a plane called the plane of reflection. This is part of the Advanced Mathematics course presented on Unizor.com. I do suggest you to watch this lecture from that website because it contains notes. Notes are like a textbook, basically, and whatever I'm presenting during the lecture is explained in written format in those notes. All right, so the previous lecture was about symmetry relative to a point, a central symmetry. Now, we have proven that the image of the line during the central symmetry is a line, image of the plane is a plane. Now, we will talk about different kinds of symmetry. Symmetry relative to a plane of reflection or reflection plane. So, let me first explain how this process of symmetry is organized and how to construct a symmetrical image. And then we will prove exactly the same two theorems that the image of a line is a line, image of a plane is a plane. Okay, so how it is constructed? Well, imagine that you have a plane which we will call a plane of reflection or reflection plane or plane of symmetry, whatever you want. And for instance, it's vertical like this one, something like this. Okay, this is the plane. Now, if I would like to construct an image relative to this plane of this point A, I have to first drop a perpendicular to the plane and then continue it on the same distance to get A prime. So, perpendicular to the plane and extended by the same lengths. Let's call this point B. So, my first statement is, it's quite obvious from this construction that this reflection is actually symmetrical in both ways. So, if A prime is symmetrical relative to this plane of reflection to the point A, then point A is symmetrical to A prime relative to the same plane. Because what do I have to do if I would like to build to construct a point which is symmetrical to this one? Drop a perpendicular, which is exactly the same line, right? Because this is the perpendicular extended. So, it's exactly the same perpendicular and extended by the same lengths and they are equal to anyway by construction, right? So, basically from A I get A prime, from A prime I get A. So it's the symmetry of reflection is reflexive. That's the word reflexing and reflection are, they have the same root, but it's in different meaning right now. Reflection is one thing and reflexive is basically being the same in both directions. All right. Anyway, my first theorem, as I was saying, to prove that image of a line is a line. And I will do exactly the same thing as I did for central symmetry. So, if I have some kind of a line, I will take two points A and B, I will take image of both, connect the images. And now I'm stating that any other point on the original line, let's call it D, will find its reflection exactly on the line which connects A prime and B prime. So, this is the point Q. Now, my first statement right now is that I would like actually you to recall that all particulars to the same plane are parallel to each other, which means AP is parallel to BQ or A A prime, actually, is parallel to B B prime. And actually, it's also parallel to M M prime. Wherever this M prime is, I mean, I can assume it's not falling on the line A prime B prime and then come to some kind of a contradiction. All right, now, since A A prime and B B prime are parallel to each other, it means I can basically draw a plane through them because two parallel lines are lying in the same plane. So, let's call this plane beta. So, beta is the plane where A A prime B and B prime belongs to these four points. Now, not only these four points belong to this plane, also the whole line D, because if two points belong to the plane, then the whole line which connects them belong to the same plane. Now, the way how I constructed D prime is just I connected A prime and B prime, which means D prime is also falling in the same plane. Now, point M as belonging to the line D also belong to this plane. Now, what follows is that the entire M M prime should also belong there because it's very, actually, it's very simple. Because if you will consider this plane beta, which is basically the plane of this board, right? Now, you know that these three points are in that plane and these two also are in this plane and these are parallel to each other. And this one is also parallel to this and this one. Now, if I will draw a line from M within my plane beta parallel to A A prime, that will be a line parallel to A A prime drawn from the point M. Now, if I assume that M M prime doesn't belong to beta to my plane, it will mean that I would have two different lines M M prime and another one which I can construct from point M within the plane beta. So, I will have two different lines parallel to A A 1 drawn from the same point M, which is impossible in Euclidean geometry. So, it looks like M M prime also belongs to this plane beta. So, what I'm doing right now is very simple. I'll just forget about three-dimensional space and I will consider everything within the plane beta, which is the plane of my board. Because A A prime belongs to this plane, B B prime belongs to this plane, M M prime also belongs to this plane. Now, what's given is that if I will connect P and Q, that would be an intersection between the beta plane and my plane of reflection, right? Now, the intersection is a straight line. Obviously, point P belongs to this line, point Q belongs, so PQ is a straight line, right? So, that's an intersection. And now, I will reduce completely this problem to a two-dimensional case. What do I have? I have A A prime B prime B, which is a trapezoid within the plane beta. These are parallel to each other. I also know that A P is equal to P A prime, so P is the midpoint of the top base of this trapezoid. Q, similarly, is a midpoint of this one. So, what I'm doing right now, I am basically from point M, I draw a line parallel to this one, and I know that this particular distance, let's call it R, and I know that M R is equal to R M prime by definition of the symmetry, right? I drop a perpendicular to the reflection point plane and then extend it by the same length. So, I know that. So, I have to actually prove that M prime falls on this side of the trapezoid. Well, again, that's very easy to do. Let's call this point M. Let's consider, for instance, N and M prime are not on the same place. Now, obviously, among all the different statements which I made about this trapezoid, what's obvious was that M R and R N are equal to each other. Well, it's just plain problem of the plane geometry. How can I prove it? Well, there are many different ways to prove it. For instance, if I draw a perpendicular here and here, I can very easily prove that these two triangles are congruent to each other. Why? Well, let me just think why. These are parallel lines. A, B, and A prime, B prime are symmetrical to each other relative to this middle line. So, that means that since they are symmetrical, these angles must be the same. Because symmetry within the plane, basically, you can just fold it along this. And this gadget is equal to this gadget is because these lines are parallel and this is distance between them. So, the angles are the same, the cadets are the same, which means that this piece is equal to this piece and this is obviously a rectangle, so this is equal to this piece. So, obviously, M R is equal to R N. I mean, probably there are many different ways to prove it in a two-dimensional case. But R M prime is also supposed to be equal to M R. So, that necessitates that M and M prime are one and the same point. That cannot be different points because the difference, because the same distance from R to N is equal to M R and from R to M prime is equal to M R. So, basically, that's it. So, it's a very easy kind of a plane geometry problem to prove this. And I'm sure you can come up with many different other proofs. I mean, I just... something which came to my mind the first thing. But it's definitely very easy theorem to prove. Well, which basically proves that any point M, because I don't have any restriction on M, I just took any point within this segment AB, any point will be reflected relative to this reflection plane into a point on this line, which means every other point also will be there. Now, if this is outside of this trapezoid, there is absolutely no difference in the logic side. I'm not going to spend any time on this. So, wherever M is here inside or outside of this segment, doesn't really matter. Its image will fall into the line, which connects A prime and B prime. Okay, that's my first theorem. So, line is reflected into line. By the way, there are some trivial cases. What if this line is within the plane of reflection? Well, obviously, the distance, the perpendicular from any point to the plane will be zero, right? So, every point will be reflected to itself. So, if you are talking about plane of reflection, then any point on that plane will be reflected into itself, obviously, right? Alright, fine. Next, theorem is about the plane. So, how can we prove that the plane would be reflected into the plane in three-dimensional space relative to some plane of reflection? And again, I will employ exactly the same technique as I did for central symmetry. So, let's say this is my plane of reflection. And I have certain plane here. Now, my point is that the reflection would be the plane here. Something like this. Now, why? Well, let's do this. Let's pick three points here, A, B, C. Now, these three points I can pick not lying on the same line. They define this plane uniquely. Now, they have images. B prime, A prime and C prime. And I draw a plane through these three points. Now, I will take any other point M here. Well, let me start not from any point inside. Let me just start from the triangle A, B, C. Now, I know from the previous theorem that if point A goes to A prime, point B goes to B prime, then the whole line which connects A and B will be reflected to this line. And this line obviously belongs to the plane which I construct from these three lines, these three points. Same thing with any other. So, all three sides of my triangle are inside that plane which I constructed from three images of three points here. Now, let's take any other point inside. Let's call it F, for instance. Now, what I can do is I can draw a line through F which intersects two sides of my triangle. Now, this point, this end of this segment is somehow reflected into the point on A prime, B prime. So, let's call it M and N. So, that will be M prime. And N is within A, C somewhere here, M prime. So, M goes to M prime on the A prime, B prime side. And N, as part of the A, C, will go somewhere within A prime, C prime. Which means that the whole line which connects M and N also will be part of this triangle. Part of this, and it belongs to this plane. And therefore, each point on it, including this one, will also be on this plane. Since two points belong to the plane and the whole line belongs to the plane. So, basically, I was using the first theorem and using, and by using this theorem, I have reduced the whole plane into triangle and a couple of segments. Well, that's basically it. I wanted to stop here as far as the properties of symmetrical figures are concerned. So, lines go to lines, planes go to planes. And it's for both central symmetry, which is the previous lecture, and symmetry relative to a plane of reflection, which is this lecture. Now, next lecture will also be dedicated to properties of symmetrical figure. But now we will go deeper and not only I will prove that, let's say, line goes to line, I will also prove that two figures which are symmetrical to each other, whether it's centrally symmetrical or reflexively symmetrical, they are usually congruent. So, that's what we will be doing the next time. That's all for today about symmetry. Thanks very much and good luck.


From Lagos, we move to Adamoa, where the state has recorded 774 cases of sexual gender violence between 2020 and the first half of 2021. 297 of the perpetrators have so far been convicted. There were, these were disclosed in YOLA by Dr Ukohi Ukiwo, the technical leader managing conflicts in Nigeria program at the opening of a five-day capacity building workshop. The workshop participants are doctors, nurses, counsellors, on management of sexual gender-based violence.

All the UDF leaders on the stage, all the UDF leaders in the crowd, I would like to welcome all of you here today. I would like to congratulate all of you who won the panchayat election. And also, all those who lost the panchayat election with a close fight, I would like to give you my support. All the UDF leaders in the crowd, I would like to congratulate all of you who won the panchayat election. Local body elections are becoming more and more important in our country. They represent the true voice of the people because the representatives are physically closer to the people. And Kerala is a good example for the rest of the country in how panchayat elections should be fought and thought about. And my message to all of you, those who won and those who lost, is that the most important thing is that you truly represent the voice of the people. That you truly understand what the people want from you. And in order to do this, you have to be physically close to the people.  So I would advise all of you to build a bond with the people of closeness. I understand that demands of people are also very big and it is difficult sometimes to fulfil all the expectations. But what people want to see is the intention. Does this person actually want to do it or not? And the main thing is the trust between you and the people. So I would expect that many of you go as close to the people as you can, especially the younger people. Recently the senior leaders of Kerala came to Delhi and I spoke to them. And I said to them that in the coming assembly election, there are a few things that we have to achieve. So I said that the UDF must view this election as a special election, as an election that is going to give Kerala a vision going forward. So I said to them that the UDF must view this election as a special election, as an election that is going to give Kerala a vision going forward. And the vision should be built from the ground up, from the people itself. So I recommend it to them that when we build our manifesto, which is our commitment to the people of Kerala, it should be an exercise which includes and involves all the people of Kerala. So when we build our manifesto, when we build the people of Kerala, it should be a mass manifesto. It should be a mass manifesto. Not a manifesto built in closed rooms. And it should capture the imagination of the people of Kerala. And we should go to the election saying that this is the UDF's commitment to the people of Kerala. So if we are asking them for their support, then we have to show them what we are going to give them. The second thing I said to them was that we have to create a balance between experienced people and young people. Experienced people represent the present and wisdom. And young people represent the future. I said that our candidates must reflect this. And these candidates, whether young or old, should inspire the people of Kerala. And I also said that the process by which we choose these people must be more transparent. And it should take into account the hard work done by people at the Punjayat. And it should take into account the hard work done by people at the Punjayat. And it should reward people from the grassroots. And the final thing I said to them is that we are involved in an ideological battle. We have an ideological fight with the government in Delhi. We have an ideological fight with the government in Kerala. You know the damage the Prime Minister is doing to the fabric of the nation. Today for the first time, Chinese troops are sitting inside Indian territory. Our economy that used to be one of the best performing in the world has collapsed. Our youngsters simply cannot get job. This is the result of the ideology of the RSS. Of course the Prime Minister is incompetent. But the real cause of this failure is the hatred with the RSS. But the real cause of this failure is the hatred with the RSS spreading throughout the country. Above the lectern, you know better than me. You face them everyday. You fight them everyday. And you know the damage their policies have done to Kerala. So this election is very important because it is an ideological election. And for us it should also be an election that shows the vision going forward to Kerala and an election that transforms Kerala. From my side, I am ready to help you in whatever way I can. We are a family. Whatever you want me to do, wherever you want me to go, I am ready to do it. And I believe in the Congress worker, the Congress grassroots soldier and the Congress leadership. And I am confident that the UDF will sweep the coming election. I would like to thank all the UDF leaders, all the workers who have come here. Thank you very much. All the best. Many of our panchayatis, panchayatis and mambas have come to catch us. We have come to give the pain to the country. So they have bought everything and gone. They have gone straight to the seat where they are now.
