an especially interesting topic because we didn't realize that the cluster of stars that we see around us are actually a majority of them are really just galaxy which is just an island gravitational island in the universe structure of the universe it's pretty all inspiring because yeah i'm looking at it here less than a hundred years ago so 1923 is when edwin hobble found a sephid variable and my audio got screwed up on that episode but maybe it's still worth checking out the episode on edwin hobble i did a few back i tried to explain this discovery we're gonna start with the andromeda nebula the rest of the galaxies this study guide created by david butler the actual science of astronomy in a very i'd say a very asmoresque tone and style so i would future self will remember to put the link in the description and i'll try to use this book visible to the naked eye and studied by persian astronomers around 980 the andromeda nebula was thought to be a part of the milky way which makes you wonder what it is that i think it's pretty interesting that it's uh it's like analogous to analogous to being in a cave what's right in front of you and four years i'm sure we were as a species we were looking into the sky and we're seeing the infant stars in yesterday in cosmological last minute a minute ago in cosmological timescales we discovered that we're in this galaxy that's a hundred thousand that takes light a hundred thousand years bras but nothing compared to the actual scale of the universe that we're aware of now and uh oh i guess i should look into how far away we thought distant object prior to that actually was i i think reading something like 200 000 years light years i think that a million light years was completely out of the question so um to me that's just fascinating that we our perspective on the universe has changed so drastically just such a short time ago it's amazing but let's move on initiated the cosmology and he uh found this sephid variable the star is called v1 here's a shot of Edwin Hubble's image of andromeda which he uh made four by five inch tober sixth he originally identified three stars and marked each of them with a n for nova he thought they were exploding stars but later he realized that the nova at the top says var exclamation point was actually a sephid variable and that's what i'm gonna look up real encyclopedia so he uh once he realized that he crossed it out and he crossed out the end so the reason he added the exclamation exclamation point was because he knew that this variable would allow him to calculate the distance cosmology back then i mean still really is still really is like how exactly how certain objects are it blows my mind that just how far away sephid variables are based on their um their characteristic periods and so we know that let me look it up real quick so this uh period of the v1 sephid variable star four days before v1 distances to stars were measured in thousands of light years but after v1 the universe got much much bigger using his um what i'm about to show you he realized that the universe v1 was over two and a half light years away so that's that's amazing that he was measuring it just thousands or tens of thousands of years light years and all of a sudden the science the facts that he was so used to just the distance of a couple thousands of light years flashes of insight you're given if you uh stick it out locations series sephid variables okay page 42 i just think that picture is so amazing the cgi that discovery channel shows like that use nowadays they're they're getting better but uh kids the those shows are they used to really impress me but uh they seem to be just a lot more scientifically as someone like david butler gets sephid sephid variables here excerpt about this and studying the Magellanic the distances of these clouds were on 50 kilobar sex distant clearly sufficiently remote for all their stars to be considered at the same distance you notice that the brighter sephiates and because of their equal distance this showed the existence of it or one sephid was required to determine the absolute studies of star clusters in the early 1960s established that the relation reproduced in figure 2.29 classical sephid is uh w virgin w virginus and rr lear what this is the distance of the sephid close to 100 days for sephid classical sephid to say they were standards set in practice and maybe there are that would be really interesting if there are i got there's a couple you out there is set to a certain standard luminosity and the distance of it to uh to an approximate distance just be some equation some function oh it's standard absolute luminosity so if it's just a little bit dimmer you know that you're much closer to the lighthouse and shore than otherwise think and if it's very very very dim then you have a good idea because the period won't be consistent i guess it's really cool that that's the one was definitely too far away to be a part of this also meant that uh because it was a part of the other stars and that nebula had to have been that same distance as well so this may be important stars in the history of cosmology just can't get enough of that so andromeda is a is a beautiful barred spiral galaxy with two spiral arms that glow massive number of new stars this is a lot like our milky way years ago i guess just barely justness in our brains evolved significantly physiologically we created and lost great civilizations and we built telescopes that caught the light when it finally reached our planet andromeda has a i guess i assume all galaxies has a central black hole here we see the lermas black hole at the center of andromeda this is the sharpest visible light image ever made of the nucleus of an entire external galaxy you can see here the uh there's a blue glow around the center of what happens to be a double nucleus full space telescope astronomers were able to identify the source of the blue light surrounding the supermassive black new spectroscopic observations revealed that the blue light consists of more than 400 stars so tightly packed our star sun is four light years away so zero dark skies if you're a planet on those stars which i highly doubt too chaotic to have developed life i suppose so the disk is nested inside an elliptical ring of older cooler redder stars stars are at the farthest point so they give the illusion of a second second nucleus so deep inside the black hole's gravitational grip now they survive in such an extreme environment that young stars are so closely bound to the central black hole suggests that it actually might be a there's a total of 54 galaxies in our local group andromeda is the largest the milky way is the second and triangulum is the third 16 satellite has 25 members of the group aren't gravitationally that sentence that didn't really make sense i guess here we have the just 2.85 million light years away so it's the third largest member of our local group thousand light years so half is which is a lot but this next small irregular galaxy is one of our closest neighbors it's actually considered prototypus fragmentary galaxies that uh existed and it is that gc 6822 is unusually high as it's unusually high abundance of it's on h2 or hii i don't know enough that's supposed to be roman numerals um the region emission nebula these are visible surrounding the smaller galaxy particularly towards the upper right and we can see up there it's okay so light years away novel suspected it might belong to our local group but it wasn't confirmed until he weighs galactic planes the 16 of them just orbiting our this map shows the closest dwarfs they're all gravitationally bound few tens of millions of stars is insignificant compared to the number of stars in our galaxy sagittarius dwarf is the closest and in fact it's interestingly being slowly ripped apart by our galaxy is the furthest away and has six globular clusters orbiting it see if i can so in our book here it looks like the only section on the local group most of their distances are a sephia variable reasonably mixed sample of galaxy types except that there are no conspicuous giant ellipticals hard to establish the precise helpful class for our galaxy because we're inside it and so we don't easily see its large scale structure the galaxy has several small Magellanic clouds clearly visible one and they say that there could be many more de galaxies really sure what do you mean more distant from us in very faint see what the copyright for this book was give us an indication of how up to date it is although i can't imagine that the science has changed for our local group at least much i can't imagine we've discovered a whole lot like more things that would fundamentally copyright date but it does say that uh does say that since the derived data used throughout this book are adopted by the 16th congress of the international astronomical union to granobal in 1976 so that does make sense as you can see that a lot of that pictures are monotone as of this book proper motions of galaxies are information of velocity and from this it is evident that the local group galaxies are all in orbit observation suggests that the system is not gravitationally stable and will actually break up eventually that's really that's i think it's always really interesting because there's so much consistency and constant motion in the skies and the stars and the planets and that appears to be order because it's observed on such a small time scale by us distant galaxies in the local group the distances are not so accurately known so the membership is uncertain it's generally assumed that the group includes all galaxies of a distance to one mega parsec which which i think parsec is i guess i could look it up sure i want to say it's short for pc parsec is the other way around to the 13th roughly the parsec is analogous i guess to a foot to a yard so one mega one million parsecs would be three million which makes sense i guess okay let's see if i can galaxies near the galactic plane suffer obscuration principally bright nearby galaxy therefore could be heavily reddened and appear faint galaxies are known some of which are probably in the local group some vaguely interesting stuff in there and so to return to our study sheet to us as i just said the large and small Magellanic clouds can be seen in the southern sky written 70 000 light years away small is a thousand right mc for short is the brightest galaxy in our sky contains several billion stars and many stars are still forming the small Magellanic cloud or smc for short contains at least several hundred million stars like the lmc there's still a lot of formations taking place in it an interesting little fact about our galaxy is that based on supernova n 63 a in 1987 a they were listed about 160 000 light years away the furthest 160 000 light years is in fact further beyond the extent of our milky way because the large melancholynic cloud so close there's a lot more beautiful nebulae inside it that we can actually see and we have berry in this image 0 59 67 point of nasa's great observatories shondra x-ray so the result shows soft green and blue hues of heated material from the x-ray data surrounded by the pink representative of the ambient gas being shocked by the expanding blast wave and what's even crazier is that we quite observe the movement of it that's really cool the relevant we slowed things down a lot we'd see bacteria living out long long lives we sped everything up we'd see and galaxies entire galaxies and groups local groups like ours orbiting that's around the star into each other and exploding uh well i guess not really exploding but certainly being torn apart ripped bc 20 74 which is about 170 000 light years away this region is a firestorm of raw stellar creation perhaps triggered by a nearby supernova explosion looking image reveals dramatic ridges and valleys of dust the serpent-ed pillars of creation and fiercely traviolet radiation so the region is on the edge of a dark molecular cloud as the incubator for the birth of new stars and lastly i just wanted to show you that the local group is in fact native as these astronomers are we'll explore this local volume if i get to it


Everyone, my name is duration. I'm here as the host of think take what you show called finding our feature. I'm here every other Wednesday from one to one 30 and this show is called finding our future because we talk about issues that matter to young people or anyone who cares about the future. And we cover a lot of issues from sustainability to spirituality, many things. So today I'm really excited for our guest, my Issa there, and I met my Issa through her role as a yoga teacher at surfighters beach cleanups. And we got into a really great conversation about divine masculine and divine feminine energies and kind of a lot of things around gender in the modern world. So thank you for being here, my Issa. Thank you for having me. I'm excited to be on think tech. Yes, awesome. So I guess just to start, I love if you introduce yourself and why you're passionate about this. Okay. Well, my name is my Issa. I was born and raised on the east side of Oahu. And I got really passionate about this because I worked on the waterfront on the waterfront driving ships for Matson and different container ships. I worked for no region cruise lines, just wasn't a really male dominated environment. And so I took on a lot of male dominated trades to get to be successful in that environment. And kind of in my late 20s realized that it really was rejecting the feminine through doing my own work. And so I got really passionate about understanding kind of in the discovery of what is the feminine and what is the masculine. Right. That's interesting. I didn't know that about your history. Well, I think the way that I relate to this topic and that many people have maybe heard about it already is maybe in the form of toxic masculine and I think that's kind of freeze and topic that's been thrown around a lot, with the rise of awareness around male dominant cultures and what we've grown up within that as women and as men and as boys and girls as young people too. So can you kind of explain what toxic masculinity is like how you would define that and what kind of the other side of that is. Yeah, so I think that toxic masculinity is when the masculine gets really out of balance. And I want to be really, really specific that it's not just to gender, you know, sometimes women can take on a lot of masculine traits and become oppressive. And that's when I what I see most with the wounded masculine or out of balance masculine is that oppression and control become very important. Yeah, that's really, that's really important to distinguish that it's not about being a man or being a woman but it's just like an energetic definition of these two things. So when it comes to masculine and feminine, what do you see in terms of like where our culture has been and where it currently is in terms of stepping into that or being disconnected from that. Yeah, that's a great question for what's going on today. I think that where there's like you said a lot of awakening and that awareness. And so in moving forward, it's really going to take us to understand what the behaviors are on the day to day that are being rewarded in patriarchy. Right. And a lot of the masculine traits are being rewarded in this society that we live in. And I think now because of different things that have happened to me to movement and all these sorts of things, the feminine is starting to rise and also be valued. And that's going to be really important in I think what we the skills that we need for things like sustainability and caring about those issues. Yeah, exactly. And I wonder if do you feel there's a what do you feel is the opportunity in terms of like where we are with the environmental movement and in our potential to succeed or fail in solving the climate crisis. Like do you see that there is kind of a potential or connection there. And I guess the reason I thought of this is because like this whole mother earth and is there like something in you know why is the earth considered feminine and what do you see as the opportunity for us to recognize our environmental solutions. Yeah, I think that's a great question as well. I think the thing is all these women step up into politics right now all over the world and they're coming in with a lot of environmental issues, because the feminine and very connected to her. And maybe it'd be helpful to just distinguish what the different things are masculine and feminine. So, when we're talking about the feminine we're talking about process energy we're talking about success through relationships we're talking about nature feelings emotions spontaneity. Dependency and understanding relationship dependencies for feminine and that's why we understand relationships and we value relationships. It's not a negative. It's only negative if it gets out of balance that's something that's really important with these two dynamics. And the masculine is kind of a more linear straight cerebral mental rational structure and order to things and it kind of identifies more with technology and having the success be seen through finances or providing. And that's the difference between I would say the two dynamics. So when you have one really out of balance which I would say the masculine is you need the feminine to rise to bring in that point of view that been kind of lost. Yeah, what ways would you say like specifically would you say that the imbalance has occurred. Yeah, I would say specifically not valuing feminine traits because if you do listen to like a lot of the feminine traits, such as feminine traits are emotion and male traits are our ration or rationalization or logic. A lot of the masculine traits were birthed out of feminine right like we have to remember that because logic is secondary to emotion. I mean if you think about like how the world evolved people like had to listen to their insight and their intuition before they had logic. They didn't know that a plus B equals C. They just had a hunch they had a feeling and they went with that feeling and then time over time it kept working and that's how logic got created. So I think that there was a disconnect for a long time and just being in the masculine and forgetting about where we come from and valuing those other traits that are really important for solving solving the dependency and relationships of humans to to the planet. Right, it's that connection to the is the feminine. And I think that that piece is huge. As far as understanding like if you have a feeling you need to listen to that feeling that it's not right to walk the beach and see plastic and and the masculine is also important in doing something about it. But listening to the feeling first and foremost I think is what is so important about the feminine rising. Yeah, I really like kind of like this concept that we all come from women and therefore like the feminine births all other kind of aspects of our essence whether you know we have the masculine or feminine dominant and energy. Why do you think, I guess historically you know what's we live in a patriot patriarchy male dominated society for the most part, with some exceptions why do you think historically that was the path that we went on like do you see any clear signs as to why that was you know like why didn't it go the other way. Just curious what your read is on that. That's a that's another really great question and I, I think that may track he did, you know, rule at one point we know that it did a very, you know, a long time ago, and there's a reason for it. Not really now and it could be that the mate the mat the feminine got out of balance at one point, you know, because as feminine rising it's really rising strong and the pendulum swings right. And I think that the masculine was like maybe the feminine really got out of balance and needed to find some type of container reason ration structure and order for the amount of people that were now in society. You know, you just go well in small tribes and villages, but when you get to cities like order boxes right like that's all very masculine the structure of a city, very square, you know feminine is circular. So, it's just efficient and time and the more we try to fit into a little box right with all the things everything we have now as a box. It's it all has to do with efficiency and resources and being more efficient which the masculine is better, you know, is great at the feminine is spontaneous. And so in some ways when you have so many people, you that can be dangerous. I understand possibly why the masculine got so extreme. But it got disconnected and is now out of balance so yeah. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And I didn't get it like you know it's like the right angles and straight lines like it's probably just easier for building and what yeah it is like the efficiency thing and I think that is extremely important when I just think about like the work many of us do like efficiency is so important in productivity. But given what's happened, you know where we are now with like capitalism and overworking and hyper focus on productivity and efficiency like there, there is a need to reevaluate. And I've kind of been noticing over the last several years where there's been a huge uptick in female empowerment and women's movements and like just this uprising of women saying you know we know our power and we're going to claim it and you know this is our time. And so I wonder, like, I've kind of heard from some men how they're feeling about I think it's mostly confusing, although they're like overall supportive but I think for from a male perspective it is confusing in terms of like identity and uncertainty for the future. So I'm wondering if you have experience talking to men about this and what you feel they feel about this or think about this and kind of like what how they should feel like moving forward or what their vision is what their path can be moving forward in this space. Yeah, I get this question a lot because they do a lot of work in women empowerment and I get the question like are you anti men because you're so about the feminine rising. And the answer is absolutely not I understand that the masculine being out of balance means that the masculine was wounded right like the masculine really like wounded at some point was like I need structure because something created chaos that didn't feel good for the masculine so the masculine overcompensating now with so much structure and so much rationality and and that has made hit made the masculine very unhappy in the long run I think we're seeing because the feminine traits of feeling spontaneity or really nurturing are really what you need for a wholehearted life. And I think that what has been difficult is is women rejecting the feminine and men is something that needs to be addressed as far as what we as women can do for them in this process of this balancing out. Because if we continue to ask them to change and don't really get specific about what that looks like or accept their feminine traits you know when they cry or when they do express emotion we're like oh like act like a guy and you know how do we value those traits overvaluing masculine to think that women in general need to come back to the understanding that we oftentimes choose alpha with who we give our attention to we also choose alpha of the traits that we choose to get attention to as females. So I think that's a big piece for us to remember but as far as men that feel this way. I think that they need to reach out to to women and relearn how to hold space for the feminine for the feminine chaos and for the feminine expression because it's been stomped out I mean they've murdered women before because of their expression. So there's a lot of fear of women to fully come into that expression and so men need to also honor women's expression of the feminine. So just the expression of the feminine genders needs to be relearned in some ways and then allowed for like you know when you're learning something you're not going to come out really fluid.  Yeah this kind of you kind of mentioned there's like violence against women sometimes and and how this manifests maybe because of this female expression that men have you know aren't used to or aren't prepared to like honor and hold space for. And this kind of reminds me of you know what's happened this weekend with the with the shooting of the police officers and the fires and kind of how that you know tragedy here on the island. And how it fits into the statistic that men are almost always the perpetrators of violent crime and mass shootings and I mean just destruction overall destruction and obviously that's not a spiritual or conscious manifestation but there is you know something that's occurred and manifested to lead to this pattern and I'm wondering like what you see as you know like specific actions you recommend to an individual like somebody who's watching who's like okay perhaps I have toxic traits you know no matter what gender you feel or are like what specific action items can you give to people who really want to work on this and want to contribute to you know a more conscious form of themselves. Yeah I think it's really sad about the that you know men are the ones who usually you know commit murder but they're also the ones who usually the ones that can carry out their suicide you know two time they're doubly likely to carry out their own suicide as well so just in saying that the masculine is just extremely wounded and that attributes hurt people hurt people and they're hurt but not in saying that it's the women's fault to fix I want to make that very clear because it is not. It really takes their self insight but some things that I would recommend one thing is that kind of made it my life work to kind of allow the feminine back in so I am holding a workshop here at my yoga studio. And it's basically geared for skills for women to tune back in to feminine expression without fear I think a big piece is that women are looking for permission constantly looking for permission to be full fully feminine their full expression because of being told they're too much and being told their stories are not believable and the feminine needs to get permission again so this workshop we're going to work in connecting the woman to allowing herself to full expression. And then we're going to also have a male facilitator who helps men learn how to hold space for the feminine. And I think that a big piece is that our society is so results based because we're so masculine that men are always. And so they're like how can I fix this how can I fix what I've done to women how can I fix. A woman when she comes to me and is upset I want to help I want to help and that's the masculine to want to protect and to want to get the result. Basically the skill that we're asking men to gain and through this workshop is to learn how to just hold space for expression full expression and then receive it and not need to linearly walk anyone through anything or try to fix anything but learn how to hold space because that's the biggest piece in healing people are going to find their own journey to that healing but we have lost the ability to have those tough conversations. Yeah, yeah just kind of pops up in like relationships that I've been in and that my friends have been in my girlfriends and you know we they are like these two types of men that I've encountered even in like the workspace where it's like you know the one type of man that is like the whole man explaining like they want to like teach you things and explain things and they also want yeah they want to fix things and like create the solution and repair and I think in some ways that's very beautiful and like needed in our world. But on the inverse of that is that you know women vent you know they vent a lot and they have feelings that they need to express and whether they have a solution or not is like really irrelevant. Oftentimes the woman like we usually just like want to express it all of the like you know thoughts and feelings and even the crazy ones and then once it's like out in the world it's like therapeutic and like we can move on. Typically is what I found especially when I think about like me when me and my girlfriend hang out and we mostly just talk through things and explore things together and we have answers mostly questions and we just talk through it and there's no like you know strong desire or necessity of like a solution and so I think it is important for men and masculine energies to like you know understand that the space holding and like the listening and being is like sometimes like the most valuable thing you can offer. You know to someone who's expressing challenges or thoughts. And listening wholeheartedly without bringing in assumptions or bringing in you know your own kind of goal for where it's the conversation supposed to go in and really seeing someone in their expression seeing a female because I hear you on the two different types of guys there's usually like the type of guy that really wants to mansplain and like tell you the way out like this is going to be the way this is the how I'm going to help you through this like you're damsel in distress that needs the masculine right and then there's the kind of guy that's completely aloof and doesn't even try to help at all. And the middle ground is kind of like a guy who comes and just can hold space and see and ask and then be okay with whatever the outcome is kind of. Yeah and when we talked about this topic first which is why I wanted to interview you. You kind of talked about how the ego plays into like the divine and masculine so you mentioned like that stepping into the masculine and stepping into the feminine means to step into or back off of your ego so can you explain that further. Yes, I love this quote that I told you. So Elizabeth Gilbert, I have to give her the credit.  And I think that how how I see that interpret that quote is that when a man is willing to put his own needs and aspirations goals down. He will really open up to hit the fullest and the and the, the not wounded piece of the masculine but the empowered piece of the masculine because ego is something that you can hide behind. You can hide behind goals and accomplishments you know your real self can and the feminine picking up the ego is her picking up her shock the energy which is like more of that sensual sexual energy and not in a way of needing to be seen but just needing to hold that for herself in an empowered way. Holding it and being like, you know, I'm going to shock me myself up I always say that just to like just for me, and, and that empowering feeling of connecting to self requires the female to her divine feminine to pick up a little bit of that energy and the mask and I'm going to put it down to see himself. Yeah, and it almost seems like that's again like rebalancing because you know the way many of us are brought up and raised. You know as woman to be like a little bit more passive and quiet we learned this like through our families and schools and and how men are kind of like old boys are always taught to be ambitious and motivated and successful. And you know the girls are like, you know, as long as you're pretty you'll be successful like there are few things that provide us value, if any outside of our physical physicality, kind of in the mainstream culture. And so it seems like that, you know, recommendation is a rebalancing of that and it makes me think about the. I don't know if it was a study but I've heard in several podcasts and books and stuff that women say sorry, like way more often than men and you know I think most people experiences I can name several people who are women who say sorry, excessively in situations they really don't need to just like all the time and yeah so what are your like what are your thoughts on like that like how we're taught and why women like are more apologetic and why men tend to be more confident at least you know generally. Yeah, I think that it really has to do with the effect of society and the collective on the female right like like you were talking about women are so much susceptible to that dependency to trying to please the need to please and the dependency of now really pleasing this external validation and so when I say a woman picking up ego I mean like picking it up and holding it unapologetically not needing to please other people and have them see her but picking it up and knowing her sacredness and knowing when she can say no and not feeling the need to sort of bleed out into everyone else's expectations. Yeah, totally. And another thing that I've been thinking a lot about is this gender roles you know and how there's been a whole feminist movement to almost eliminate it and say like these don't exist gender doesn't exist and all this stuff which I think you know in some ways is progressive but in some ways also ignores this like natural feminine and masculine essence and so I've kind of been leaning towards saying you know like I think gender roles exist for a reason and they matter in some ways as long as they're not oppressive and promoting inequality so what are your thoughts on gender roles? Yeah, that's a really good question. It's a hot topic right now. I think that it's great you know to be progressive and to just move into the energetics of it but I also think that polarity is really important polarity of like this is feminine and this is masculine because polarity is what creates that magnetism you know and if we so one in it's really beautiful to be like super balanced beings but sometimes the polarity is makes for faster shifts like we saw like Trump is like polar right and we've got the polar left like that is creating a lot of change right now versus like for a long time we had this you know very close to close parties so I think that I agree with you I think that gender it can be a really beautiful margin like Yin and Yang at some time. Yeah, okay we're in our last little bit here so I just want you to leave us with any kind of like you know message that you would put on a billboard or something that you would want to tell everyone if you had a moment to share something. Oh wow. A message I would want to tell everyone is that you know this type of thing takes intention and attention. So just kind of like finding your awareness of where like just noticing oh man I'm really my feminine and having what's the intention with that why are you using that energy so I guess just attention and intention is so important for anything any type of work that we do healing or just walking around every day. There you go yeah I like that billboard awesome well thank you my ESA maybe I'll have you back on Monday we can explore this and other topics but it's awesome to have you on and it's been cool learning from you. Thank you for having me Doray yeah I would love to come back and check out the feminine archetypes those are really helpful to women as well. Oh yes oh we didn't get to that but yeah sounds good feminine archetypes okay thank you. Thank you.


Welcome folks, this is Jacob for the 3pm market update. The market is in the green, NDX up 0.6, the Q is up 0.55. Gold is down today, we'll talk a little bit about that with regards to CPI, the dollar is also off a little bit, 103.33. CPI is at 436 while we have the ES mini at 44.11, had no problem cruising past that level. So the market has good kind of position on the futures there, YM up 0.31, NQ 0.54 and the Russell up 1.2. Carnival maintained, it's kind of up streak here, we got a little bit of a sell off on the open today, but it did recover back and reach a little bit higher, which is good. We're trading into that 15, 20, 15, 30 area and then Oracle, everyone loved it. This morning we had to sell off, but let's go on the one month. We're still up, pretty significant, excuse me, significant volume, we had to sell off with volume as well, but Oracle kind of shocked the market today, AMD a little bit off because of that and NVIDIA also a little bit, today is up 337, some people took some profits at the top as well at a 419 around here, we have GS up 0.9. So yeah, generally green day meta down 0.23, Tesla still cooking at 3.28, we'll look a little bit at Unity, so Apple is essentially going to be using, you know, Apple got downgraded, regardless they're still pretty strong, they're going to be using Unity. Unity is kind of a 3D game developer, software development company, but they'll be using that software in their headset. Let's go here, I want to look at this on the year to date. So they got a big bump up because of Apple, and I think Roblox did as well, and Roblox is really, you know, I'd always thought of this as a kind of a kids game, but really this is kind of the standard for what people think of when they think of the metaverse, right? And so that's been up a little bit today as well with some talk that's going to be basically integrated, or at least able to be accessed with Apple's VR headset. So yeah, folks stay tuned, I'll talk about gold, talk a little bit about lithium, we have a lot of stuff to talk about today and we'll kind of crunch into it, so folks stay tuned.
