What is the spiritual meaning of swan? Whether you've dreamed of swans, or you keep seeing them everywhere, or you've always just loved them, or maybe you're a little afraid of them. If swan has floated into your life, it's sure to have a message for you. If you'd like to know what that message is, then keep watching. In this video, I'm going to share all sorts of insights about the spirit meaning of swan, including its positive meanings, the shadow meanings of swan, and what it means to see a black swan. Let's be sure to watch to the end, because I'm going to share a special mystical message that the swan spirit animal gave me to share with you. Let's start with a quick overview of swan. Swans are the largest of the waterfall family of birds, and they're mostly found in the temperate regions. In the northern hemisphere, swans are pretty much all white, and then in the southern hemisphere, they're either black or black and white. So if you know what species of swan you're working with, you might want to look into that exact species. But even though there are some differences between swans, they're very, very similar one to the other. So the meanings in this video are all going to apply pretty much, except that we will be talking about specifically the black swan and the meaning of that. Okay, so let's dive into the positive meanings of swan. So you only have to look at a swan floating on the water just to recognize the incredible beauty and grace that this bird has. And so those are two of the most prominent meanings of swan. If swan's coming in, a sign of beauty, it's a sign of grace, it's almost like a blessing to see a swan. And sometimes that's all that it really is, is just like seeing this bird lifts you into a higher vibration. And we're looking at the classic swan, the pure white feathers are a symbol of purity.  They also symbolize self reflection, which you can really see mirrored in the classic images of the swan reflected in the water. In Hindu mythology, the swan is a vehicle for a couple of major deities. The goddess Saraswati is often shown writing a swan and she's the goddess of knowledge and learning as well as the arts, okay? So the arts of course have to do with beauty and knowledge and learning reflects this self-reflective aspect of swan as seen that reflection in the water. The Lord Brahma who's the great creator God of Hindu mythology also is seen writing a swan. And in his case, it's really more focusing on the swan as a symbol of enlightenment as well as the power of discrimination. So the swan is said to have the ability to separate milk from water, which signifies the ability to discriminate between right and wrong and between the spiritual path and the material path. So much so that there's a Sanskrit word, parama hamsa, and that translates literally to supreme swan. And that's a word that is used to describe a teacher who has attained enlightenment. So beauty, grace, purity, enlightenment, high vibration, all these things are very, very core aspects of the swan spirit animal. But another one that the swan is super celebrated for is romantic love and fidelity. It can be a symbol of marriage as well. I have a personal story about this. A few years back I was invited on a group hike and only two of us showed up. And it was a friend of mine that I'd known for about a year. I really wasn't thinking of him as a romantic partner. I wasn't thinking dating at all, but we went on this hike and stopped by this lake and there was this beautiful pair of swans out in the lake. And I remember just being struck by how beautiful they were and how I had never seen swans on this lake before. And it was funny because swan had been coming forward for me and it turned out that a couple of months later he invited me out at a date and within a year after that we were married. For me this has a special significance but swan throughout the ages has had the significance of a very pure and high and holy bond or marriage between male and female. And so when we look at swans and the way they act in nature they have this incredible pair of bond that's rarely seen anywhere in the animal kingdom. And it's very interesting to look at the way that a mated pair of swans behaves with each other because they start out with this elaborate courtship and you've probably seen many, many pictures of swans coming together with their heads and necks creating this heart shape. It's super symbolic and it's actually really, really true. Swans do mate for life and throughout their time together they exhibit incredible bonding. So swans will share every single aspect of raising the young from nest building even just sitting on the eggs to protecting. The male swan is called a cob and he's amazing at protecting the space and bringing food to his mate. He will incubate a little bit but she's the main one to do that but they really, really share the care-taking and they also will stick together throughout their life. So they, in addition to sharing responsibility they have little rituals that they do together and they're also frequently in vocal communication as well as body language communication. They even have this synchronized swimming routines that they do because they are just so incredibly bonded together. So swan can be an amazing symbol for soul mate for twin flame, for marriage, romantic love all those great things. Swan also can be a beautiful symbol for just being in the flow of life for floating along and enjoying the beauty and the grace that happens when we tune into spirit tune into our higher guidance and it brings us on this beautiful journey, right?  You're probably familiar with the Hans Christian Anderson story of the ugly duckling. A baby swan is called a signet. It's not really all that pretty. It's kind of a gray color and it can be a little bit awkward. And in the story, this little swan's signet ends up in a group of ducklings. He's orphaned, he's raised by ducks and you know how cute baby ducks are, right?   And then one day he's kind of still lamenting himself and somebody tells him to look in the water and he looks and there's this incredibly beautiful creature and he realizes that that's who he is. So the swan can be a symbol of transformation but not sudden transformation. It's not the same as a butterfly. It's this gradual transformation, almost imperceptible transformation from something that's kind of awkward or gangly or impure into this beautiful, pure majestic presence. And to me it's really, it can be a call to just really look at yourself and see how far you've come. Don't compare yourself to other people but compare yourself to where you were a year ago, five years ago, 10 years ago, right? And you'll see this incredible change that you maybe didn't even realize was happening. It can also be a symbol of maturity and the beauty and majesty that can only be attained by growing through experience and this life experience, the hardships that can bring out the best in you, right? And also the elegance and beauty of old age, that's a time of maturity, the elder period where you've really reaped all the benefits of the hardships of life and there you can stand in your purified essence. Oh, and then one more thing about swan, there's a myth or a story and this really pertains mostly to the mute swan which doesn't make a lot of noise but the story is that the swan, right before it dies sings this incredibly beautiful song. And so to me, again, this points to the beauty and the wisdom of the elder period of life and also the legacy that one can leave to the world when one has been through all the hero's journey of life and has reached a more enlightened state and has the wisdom that you can now transmit to the world. Before we look at the meaning of black swan, let's look at the negative side of swan, the shadow meaning of the swan spirit animal because every archetype, no matter how wonderful it is, always is gonna have a shadow side. And it's really important to look into that because it can help us to transmute and overcome these characteristics, okay? So looking back at that story of the ugly duckling one of the shadow meanings of swan is a poor self-esteem, right? So if swan's coming up and it feels like it could be coming up as a challenger, look at where are you feeling a little bit unworthy and swan can really help you to dive down, pull out those feelings of unworthiness and really wash them away, right? And begin to appreciate the beauty of your own soul, right? Or even understanding yourself as a work in progress, right? So even if you're feeling kind of like this ugly duckling, understand that as you move forward in life, you've got that beautiful swan within you that's gonna just keep coming out, right? More and more until you will finally become this incredible, beautiful, graceful being. Another shadow meaning of swan is just like overly emotional, right? Cause it's such a watery creature. And here the encouragement is to remember that swan, not only as a creature of the water, but it's also a creature of the air. It's a very strong flyer. Many species of swans actually migrate tremendous distances. And so this is a reminder that anytime that you're feeling really deeply mired in emotion, it's important to be able to feel that, but also you can bring yourself up into the logical or rational mind and use both of these. Remember that the swan is the symbol of marriage. So it's also the symbol of the marriage within that we can marry the mind and the heart together, right? The logic and the emotions bring these two together. And this is what creates a very harmonious feeling or relationship both within yourself and working with other people, okay? And then finally the swan can be a symbol of grief or loss and especially because they do have that incredible pair bond, a swan that loses its mate really does show all the signs of grief. They will show sometimes lose weight, just become very depressed or sad looking. Sometimes they will go back to where they last saw their mate or to the scene of death. So swan coming up could be anything related to grief. And it could even be giving you permission to go through a mourning period, right? To just retreat from the world a little bit, it's okay. Sometimes we need that time to integrate and to actually really mourn any kind of loss that we've had, whether it's another person or a relationship or a job loss or a move, right? There's all sorts of things that we can mourn. Even mourning, as we move into transitioning to a new phase of life. Sometimes there's a mourning that has to occur. And so swan can come forward sometimes to remind us that this is something that needs to be honored and maybe doing a ritual or something to acknowledge the loss and the grief that you're feeling can help you to move up and beyond that as appropriate for you. Sometimes they will find another mate and sometimes they choose to remain solitary for the rest of their lives.  All right, so what does it mean to see a black swan? Well, a couple of different ways we can look at this. On the one hand, we can look at the black swan in the ballet swan lake. The black swan is representing this kind of malevolent person that's come in that's trying to take the place or pretend to be the white swan, okay? So it can indicate a deception or something malicious disguised as something beautiful and desirable. And that does come in as kind of wrapped in this beautiful costume, right? But really underneath, she's just trying to get something. All right, so this can be a warning to look for deception, especially when something looks so beautiful and so enticing. And fear and really caution to really feel into your gut, feel into your intuition, and feel into your body and what your body is telling you, right? Because things can be really deceptive sometimes. But on the other hand, there's a really positive meaning to black swan. And black swan shows us the beauty that is inherent in the darkness, right? She points to the night and to the deep power to be found in the dark. And this could be an invitation to shadow work because sometimes we go in the shadows and there's so much healing that that's there for us. But it can also be an invitation to just spend some time in silence and stillness and appreciate the primal darkness that we all have access to, the womb space, right? Coming into the waters of the deep feminine.  So really positive meanings to black swan as well. And before I share the mystic message of swan, I just wanna invite you to check down the description box. I'm gonna leave links to my playlist for other spirit animals. If you like to work with spirit animals, I have a whole slew of videos about that and also a link to my spiritual law playlist. Because in this message that I've about to share, there are references to quite a few spiritual principles and I'd love for you to check out this playlist and learn about these laws once you've heard this message. And I'm sure that there will be deep meanings for you here as well, okay? So here's the message from swan. And I call it choose a positive path. She says, follow the curve of my neck, the S curve, the winding curve, mirroring the ripples and swirls of the water upon which I float. As above, so below, your inner life reflects your outer and your outer, your inner. It is a two-way mirror. You can choose to send the flow where you will. Adjust the physical and the mental and spiritual will follow. Adjust the spiritual and the mental and physical will follow and adjust the mind, the body and spirit will respond. Energy, influence, influence can go both ways. But until a direction is chosen, it will go back and forth endlessly. This life is like a fluid reflection of the light, showing shimmering bits and pieces and flashes of insight. Though it is an illusion, it adds to the beauty of the universe. The material world offers a dimension of beauty and discovery inaccessible through any other plane. Though it is difficult to navigating it is the path of mastery. Much bliss can be found in the physical world and in the interfaces between this and other worlds.  And so I've just submitted an article to The Edge Magazine. I'm gonna put that link in the description below. It explains this message of the swan. So remember, there may be other meanings that swan has for you.


The PG era of the WWE is over. Well, in actuality, it's been over since about 2014, although the exact end date is widely disputed, not undisputed. Now throughout this era, swearing was a no-no, blood was banned, and when you heard someone refer to puppies, well, they were talking about a pair of cute and cuddly animals. Musically speaking, even though the in-ring product was now geared towards being family-friendly, from time to time, you could still rock out with your sock out, because I'm Kevin Callas from Wrestling Behind The Themes, and won't you please subscribe, as here are 10 WWE PG Era Entrance Theme Songs That Will Never Be Forgotten. The curious case of Alex Riley is one of someone who had all the tools to become a WWE main event player, athletic, good-looking, and gifted with one of the PG Era's most talked-about tunes. Friends of the channel downstates say it to my face.  Riley also started getting incredibly over as a babyface with this theme getting huge pops every week. But then, just as quickly as it started, his career ended up fizzling out, depriving us the opportunity to hear this banger. Pretty much every Divas Era WWE theme was about either being sexy, or wanting to date and make out with men. So when the PG Era came along, the E had to scrap, brawl in panties matches, and find a more conservative way of sports entertaining. Cue the Bella twins. Unsuccessful in seizing spots in the 2006 Raw Divas Search, the Bellas obviously caught the eyes of washed WWE execs, and soon made their way onto the main roster in 2008. Turning heads on a nightly basis, their theme music was 100% Bella, and pretty self-explanatory. You can look, but you can't touch. Left a whole generation of horny little teenage boys with the bluest of blue balls, Cult of Personality is not CM Punk's best entrance theme ever. And while that might be considered blasphemy to some, especially this dude, let me drop a little knowledge on you for a minute. When Punk first arrived on WWE Television, his straight edge personality was a breath of fresh air, and the WWE Universe attached themselves to him in no time. The first sound of a blistering pickscrape at the beginning of This Fire Burns by Kill Switch Engage punches you in the face. Yes, in the face! While their lead singer belts out a primal scream that puts living color frontman Corey Glover to shame. Now you can disagree with me, that's fine. I just asked you to go back and watch Punk's 2011 Money in the Bank main event because you can't bang out a wrestling entrance much better than that. As his theme music reminds us, John Morrison ain't no make-believe. Hailing from sunny Los Angeles, the shaman of sex-a exuded a Hollywood flash from his colorful slow-motion entrances to his attention-grabbing ring expertise. But there's more to Johnny Drip-Drip than just his unique fashion sense. The Prince of Parkour looks exactly like the offspring of Doors lead singer Jim Morrison. However, his theme sounds almost exactly like Fire by Jimi Hendrix. And while Morrison was never quite able to break on through to the other side of the WWE main event scene, this theme lets the guru of greatness stand out as a tune that will always light our fire. When Cody became dashing Cody Rhodes, he not only needed to exfoliate his skin and wax his back a whole lot more, but he also needed a catchy theme to complement this new personality. Smoke and Mirrors performed by New York musician Matt White reflected all of Cody's narcissistic character traits. Prior to becoming the American nightmare, Cody anointed himself as the best-looking man in the WWE, obsessed with his handsome and well-lotioned face that was as smooth as a newborn baby's bottom. The Dashing Ones theme went through a few variations, a Dr. Doom distorted remix during his masked phase and a jacked-up rap rock version when he ditched the facial wear. This tune right here remains one of his most popular. Drew McIntyre's Broken Dreams theme left an indelible mark on the WWE Universe. Heck, it even left a lasting impression on the Scottish warrior himself who has been hinting at its return for years. McIntyre's theme is a brooding trick that tells the story of broken dreams coming true and doing whatever it takes to make them a reality. Now what all dates back to when Drew was but a wee lad, debuting as Vince McMahon's chosen one in 2007. McIntyre didn't get everything he wanted back then, so he reinvented himself into a much more chiseled and grizzled young veteran who's now been cracking claymore kicks for years. And now that Vinny Mack has finally retired, perhaps Drew can make his dream come true and bring this song back for a special occasion. Once Jeff Hardy got uber popular, he needed a new theme that captured the feel of his unbreakable spirit. Enter and ever after, and their inspiring tune they ended up giving to the charismatic enigma.  When the song hits its stride, you can't help but sing along, play the air guitar, and gyrate and flail about like a maniac, maniac. The short-lived return of this banger when the WWE officially ended the Thunderdome era in 2021 was a nice nostalgic twist of fate. However, brother Nero was now chasing after the 24-7 Championship, which neither sat well with him or his creatures of the night, but this track will forever slap. At one point in time, Mark Henry was legitimately the strongest man in the world. As a record-holding powerlifter, there are few superstars from any era of wrestling who can match the strength of a monster like Henry. And while the man once fathered a hand when he was known as sexual chocolate, during the PG era, the rap group 3-6 Mafia would encourage him to the ring with the chorus, beat him up, beat him up, break his neck, break his neck. Supported by a rugged beat, somebody's gonna get it is a hip-hop riot anthem that rattled speakers while the silverback was busy inducting victims into his Hall of Pain because this theme song is a Hall of Fame caliber. Crunk bop. The formation of the faction that would become known as the Nexus was a top 5 Monday Night Raw moment from the PG era. The rookies from the first ever season of NXT joined forces to interrupt the main event that night, destroying everything in their path, even the dapper yappers. The internet exploded and proved that when motivated, the WWE could still produce round-breaking content. Over the next two months, the Nexus began using a theme that the kids would definitely refer to as a banger. The song was called We Are One by Louisiana Rock Band 12 Stones and it perfectly demonstrated the group's unity, teamwork and pack mentality. Such a happy upbeat tune that said you're either Nexus or you're against us. Whatever the heck that means. How can you not love Sheamus's old theme music? The iconic song written in my face will always be associated with the hilarious phrases Too Many Limes and Lobster Head. It really is a shameful thing that this song went away and has never returned. Personally, I love the intensity this song brings, along with the combination of the raw Irish tones and Celtic rock guitar and drums. However, poor fella has asked WWE higher ups multiple times if he could bring this music back. But his requests have been unfortunately denied time and time again. But now that Vinny Mack is out of the picture, perhaps the Celtic warrior will have a little luck of the Irish on his side.


Back to the Independent Investor Channel for another update on Aduro Clean Technologies. I thought it a timely opportunity to come out with an Aduro Clean Technologies video after the worst week of the year in 2023 stock market action and volatility. I like to press when other people are retracting. I like to try to apply an opposite attract type of approach to my stock market philosophy and what I see in opportunity emerging now. I'm just going to say upfront that I think that this market is probably providing one of the greatest opportunities for wealth of building that I've ever seen in my 25 plus years of investing because good companies are being discredited. Companies that were wonderful just a couple of years ago are absolutely being destroyed new company initiatives are absolutely being dismissed. Any positive news or catalyst with regard to any type of forward projection on companies are absolutely being thrown out right now. And I think in the short term, it makes total sense. Absolutely. It's very, very easy in the short term to get caught up on this idea of Groupthink. And that's exactly what we have going on right now. And for those independent minds out there that actually see what is going on, the profit potential is going to be insurmountable. And I just want to talk right up front about the stock price and the market activity right now as it relates to Aduro Clean Technology. I started covering this company back in November, which is when I started to actually accumulate a position in the company. I would have bought the company if it had nothing to do with me sharing or profiling the company through social media. I'm glad to do it. This is one of my favorite stories to cover. It's a very easily, easily investable company. I'm investing alongside ownership, which owns 50% of the company. And I've spoken with at least a good majority of the management with Aduro. And I think they're headed toward wonderful things. I don't think that this team will allow this to fail. I also don't believe that they're going to rush into this and do things frivolously. I think they're doing things calculatively. I think they'll roll out the strategic opportunity here with Aduro Clean Technologies, but it's going to take some time. And I certainly don't think that in these markets that are not conducive to companies that are looking to get their start, I think it requires an extreme amount of patience. If patience even exists in investing, I think all too often people misconstrue this idea that they invest and wait, but they don't understand that time is somewhat immaterial in this whole thing. Could Aduro blow the doors off next year? Yeah, they absolutely could. Could it be five years before they start to realize material revenue to start to move the needle? Could we be in a prolonged state of volatile stock markets to subdue good companies like this? All rhetorical questions, none of which I come and presume to have the answers for. What I know is this. Since November to now, I've covered the company in about a range. When I started looking at the company, I started looking at it in the low 50 cent range, and it wasn't until I could get everything squared away with the broker before I was able to start to enter into my first share blocks of Aduro at around the low 60 cents, I believe 61 cents, 62 cents, something like that. And my current share position is disclosed for you guys in the exact share amounts, the exact time that I bought the shares and in what amount in the description below for full transparency. Aduro has partnered with the Independent Investor Channel Cornerstone Capital Solutions to provide awareness services on the company. So I have been compensated for my efforts, but my efforts are aimed at providing awareness on a company that I think right now is being dismissed along with a lot of other companies. I think it's a big mistake with this company. I really do. Now, if you take a look at the company and you determine that it's not for you or you don't have conviction over the space, you don't think that there's a strategic direction or you question the technology, whatever it is that you do. I'm going to address that in this video when we talk about, you know, what is the really the roadmap to success for Aduro? And I think a lot of that roadmap has already been checked off. I certainly do. When you talk about product validation, when you talk about not working on an island and harmonizing with big industry, they're there. When you talk about an addressable market, it's there. When you talk about the ability to organically grow their talent pool within the constructs of some of the collaborative deals that Aduro has struck just as of late, some of those deals that they've struck here and will benefit from with regard to developing their own in-house talent. And what an amazing initiative to segue into reducing the impact of the earth made by Plastic Waste. What a fabulous initiative. But the stock price itself, I've had a few people hit me up and it's like, you know, is Aduro still okay? Are you still bullish on Aduro? I think it really speaks to a very, very shallow and uneducated approach to stock market investing in whole. When I've been covering the company less than six months and I'm getting questions like that for a new developing company that's fluctuating between 40 and 50 million in market cap that has the majority of its potential in front of it. All right. Now it's fair to say in the same breath that while we have the opportunity to benefit from that future potential, it's fair to acknowledge that there has been a decade of work that has gone into this name up until now. So the luxury of sitting within a five to six month timeframe and suggesting because the company is off a few cents, which I would probably suggest has everything to do with the private placement deal that was issued at two and a half million dollars. It's no problem at all. I guess a two and a half million placement constitutes a five million dollar reduction in the company's market cap. I just kind of laugh at that a little bit and there will be people that will be taking advantage of that private placement with units, stocks, as well as the opportunity to buy the companies through warrants. I think it's great. I think it was a conservative approach to raising a little bit of capital and the company is not going to do anything crazy to dilute shareholders. They're not going to do that. The management is again aligned with shareholders to make sure that the strategic vision, yes, is went after, but they're not going to do so in a way that compromises the integrity of the company and they're not going to do it in a way that's irresponsible. I truly believe that and I think right now, Aduro is kind of in an interesting position where the relationship with Shell has them engaged in advancing their technology. It's that simple. The reason why I've kind of stretched the frequency of my Aduro clean technologies videos out is just because of that. I believe that Aduro is working hard right now behind the scenes and when it becomes appropriate to share that applicable information with the grander audience, I will, but a lot of what I bring to the table with regard to my Aduro coverage is my instinct in trying to capture what it is that I think is exciting about the company and albeit sharing information through conferences and strategically positioning themselves with some of the talent pools with some of the laboratories that they just recently partnered with is exciting, but it's not groundbreaking. It's not earth shattering. From an investment perspective, my golden question is when is Aduro going to make revenue? That question, I think we are premature in answer and we can speculate along their verticals on which of those verticals could potentially allow for a little bit of revenue generation here in the short to medium term, but that's just presumptuous on our part and it's fun to do albeit speculation at this point and whether or not that could happen within the next six months to a year. I don't know and I don't think that's really important. I think when we look at the product of verticals with Aduro and we look at how exciting this prospect is just with the plastic recycling vertical in and of itself, the heavy oil upgrading and the ability to fortify the bitumen with the diluent assist in moving that product along the pipeline is fascinating in and of itself. Aduro is a three-headed monster and unfortunately it gets looked upon as a microcap company with nothing to offer discredited in a way that I feel like a lot of the microcap companies right now are being discredited who are progressing along specific phases of their operation, enough to garner value certainly, but not enough to expect that that realized value is acknowledged in this marketplace. There's just no way. These markets are just about as brutal as I think I've ever seen and I'm not talking about the pandemic sell-off. That was systemic and there was a lot of unknowns with regard to that sell-off. The mortgage-back security crisis comes to my mind which those were systemic sell-offs. This just seems like sentiment is absolutely in the dumps because the after-effect of the systemic shock that was created from the global pandemic is actually being incurred right now with the after-effects of that. I think that people want to act surprised by it. I for one am not. I'm not surprised that we're in this current environment. We're just going to have to fight through in the short term and then I think when we do emerge from this, I think the realization of overlooking names like an Aduro Clean technology is going to have a rubber band effect and a lot of that money that's waiting on the sideline is going to pour into the markets and I'll sit back and observe and watch the circus go by. I typically try to invest before the circus even starts so call me crazy. That's my application and that's probably why I've carved out such an independent application in my life and that I do what it is that's contrary to the group think and I would invite my viewing audience to consider doing the same. The validation that Aduro has achieved with its hydrochemaletic technology is second to none. When people come to the table and they say, I challenge the idea of chemical recycling. I challenge the idea that this will even work. Ryan, will this even work? Might I remind you, my friends, that the technology has already been validated. It's been third party validated. The company did that for shareholders and it was a critical milestone in the company's validation of the product internally. Now externally, the Shell Game Changer program is not to be understated and I laugh when the company sells off. If this company sells off more, I'll be doubling my position. I've already achieved my base position of 25,000 shares and I'll sit on that. It's not a large position. It's not a small position by any means. But for the position that's appropriate for me and my portfolio and my risk tolerance, it works just fine. Where I see the prospects of this company going, it could be a very material position into my future and as a calculative investor, all my eggs are not with Aduro Clean Technologies. The base of my wealth are spread out and diversified as appropriate. But I do disclose those so you can kind of gauge where my mind is and where my loyalty is with talking about how this three-headed monster could materialize over time as long as Aduro doesn't get bought up, which I think is a very, very distinct possibility. The value is there now. I hope that doesn't happen. I think that it's probably an inevitable. I think here at a $40 million market cap, I don't think that they would even consider being bought out unless they supplemented the M with a B as far as market cap and valuation. I think 1.5 to 2.5 billion would probably be in the range of a buyout price for where I would consider the potential of this company to lie. That is presumptuous on my part. We'll just have to see how the story unfolds and materializes over time. But when we talk about the opportunity, globally, it's not to be ignored with regard to the governmental mandates that are coming for these large plastic producing companies to start to play ball and really take a hard look at these technologies that exist. Now, for people who come to me and they say, what's wrong with Aduro? It's down for five days. Ryan, you said it went up every single day as it should. The company hasn't gone up even close to enough. It's gone up a few pennies since I started covering it, but that's nothing. The stock really relatively has not moved. These moves of a few cents a day are up, down. It doesn't matter. The stock, just like most stocks, are not moving currently. But let me pose it to you this way. Wouldn't you suggest that when you look at a company like Aduro using the lens I have, as it sits right now at $45 million in market cap and you look at the prospects that this company has declared openly through the open marketplace, and when you look ahead at the opportunity that Aduro presents, wouldn't you suggest that the opportunity exist in the future of this company and not necessarily in the present or the past? My investment thesis is 100% in the future prospects of the company. I think when these global initiatives are rolled out for these companies to have to start to take a hard look, which has been really validated and substantiated through the Game Changer program with Shell, in that it speaks to the hunger that these large institutions have to adopt these technologies and really start to get them to a commercial state where they can be commercially viable and really start to turn back the value that they could actually provide. And the last thing I'll talk about here with Aduro, and we'll wrap it up for this update, is the need. A lot of people may come and they may look at it and say, yeah, a fancy name, hydrochemicaletic technology, don't know what it means, but this sounds fancy to me. It's too good to be true. Do we even need this product? Is there a need? And I think for so long, people have been taught to believe that if they don't see a problem, then the problem doesn't exist and not have the foresight to understand that if you dig a little bit deeper into the plastic problem, you will identify that it is far from made up. It is far from a farce. It is far from an initiative of the far left or part of a green initiative. And I think the majority, the best I could tell, and I was guilty of this, is not understanding the extent of the problem until really starting to study up on this topic. When I was introduced to Aduro Clean Technologies, and the whole idea here is to challenge people in identifying a need for this product. Is the world a better place with or without Aduro? Now, that doesn't need to drive your investing thesis, but I would suggest that if you start to peel back the layers on the need for a solution like Aduro and many others, you'll quickly find that the global demand over this technology to start to tackle this plastic pollution problem and to start to earmark some of the mandates that are coming along the pike and start to really reduce the amount of plastic that we put out into a secular economy right now that's broke. The circular economy is not possible now because we're producing plastic that we know is inevitably impossible to recycle until now. And so when we start to question the need for an Aduro, the need is right now. And as quickly as Aduro can move along their timeline to evolve and bring this product to a commercial state with the assistance of Shell Game Changer Program and others in the space, it's going to be an amazing story and I'll sit back and watch the circus go by. I'll watch this parade calmly, collectively, because my position is already built. Whether or not you want to take a position in the company or not, you do have to applaud the efforts of the companies looking to take on these plastic problems and many other global initiatives that have plagued us for many, many years. And the solution has been to stick your head in the sand. No longer will that be tolerated. The movement toward these initiatives and leveraging the technology that exists nowadays and putting them into the rigor of commercial application is very, very real. And it's an exciting micro sector to be part of in understanding that I think the best is ahead of us. Guys, thank you so much for tuning into this video.

Now, having been guided to the approximate position of the bomber, the radar operator and the night fighter can pick him up and trail him with his AI aircraft interception set. There's the target now. Let's see how these airborne radars work. Here's a diagram of our night fighter on the tail of an enemy bomber. The antenna revolves in a complete circle, but since the night fighter pilot is primarily interested in what's in front of him, only that area is presented on the scope. The rest is blanked out. This area, scanned by the beam, and of course any targets within that area, appear on the indicator or scope screen of the night fighter. A bomber that's ahead and to the right of the night fighter will appear up and to the right on the scope. Since this B-scope is intensity modulated, like the PPI you saw a while ago, the target appears as a glowing blob of light. However, the scope presentation isn't fan-shaped like the sector the beam scans, or like it would appear on the circular PPI. If it were, the short range echoes would crowd together and be hard to spot. So for ease of operation, electrical circuits actually stretch the picture into a rectangle. This is the presentation furnished by the airborne B-scope. When you turn on your AI set, this is what you'll see on the B-scope. It measures range vertically from bottom to top and azimuth horizontally. Now that we've seen the presentation, let's see how the B-scope produces this picture. Remember, with an electromagnetic tube, it's current flowing through the set of coils on the side that bend the electron beam up and down. When sawtooth voltage is sent through these side coils, we get the familiar up-and-snap-back movement, thus forming our baseline. The baseline is synchronized with the transmitted pulse, like this. When the transmitter is triggered, the electron beam starts up toward the top of the scope as the pulse goes out. When the beam reaches the top of the tube, the set's maximum range, it snaps back and starts up again with the next transmitted pulse. Since the B-scope has a persistent screen like the PPI, the repeated spillovers form a constant glow at zero range, giving you the familiar main bang. Because the pulse is transmitted hundreds of times every second, the moving electron beam whips up and down so fast that it forms the baseline. Now, when a target is caught in this beam, the returning echo from it will form a blob of light somewhere along the baseline. Zero range is at the bottom of the scope, so if the target moves faster than your night fighter, the range between the two planes increases, and the target blip will climb up the baseline toward the top of the scope, maximum range. So that you can spot the range of a target more easily, we can divide the fan-shaped sector which our antenna will sweep with imaginary range markers, for example, every mile, one to five. Then we'll calibrate the face of the tube in the same way, with the five grid lines on the scope representing the mile distances in the sky. Here, the target is almost five miles away, so its echo appears just below the fifth range marker on the scope. So much for range. For azimuth, we'll add a vertical grid with the zero marker in the center. Then, planes to the left will appear to the left of center on the scope. Those to the right will appear to the right. This target is dead ahead, so it appears on the scope at zero azimuth. But don't forget, the beam isn't stationary as we've been showing it here. It keeps sweeping through that sector, much faster than this, of course. And since the baseline is synced up with the antenna, each time the beam passes over the target, the baseline repaints the echo on the scope. Here's another target to the left at about three and a half miles, and there's its echo on the scope. There's another to the right, this time at almost two miles. Because of the persistency of the tube, the glow from each target on the screen will be visible until the baseline repaints it on the next sweep. Now let's see how the tube does all this. You've already seen how current flowing through the two side coils produced the baseline. Varying the current flowing through the top and bottom coils makes the baseline sweep across the face of the scope. The flow of current through these two coils is electrically synced with the antenna, so that the baseline always indicates the direction the antenna is pointing. Of course, since the antenna revolves at 360 rpm, the baseline on the actual scope sweeps across so fast that you can't see it, but it enables you to see the target blip that much better, because it repaints the blip so much oftener. As you can see, the B-scope is excellent for helping you find the target and determining his range and azimuth. But in order to line up your guns on him, you must know his elevation. To get that, turn on your range marker and run it up to intersect the target blip. That gates in the C-scope, there at the left. It furnishes you both elevation and azimuth. Here's how it works. To feed data to the C-scope, the antenna as it revolves also nods, that is elevates and depresses slightly. If the beam could trace its movement in the sky, the effect would look like this, painting a series of paths with each stroke a little lower than the preceding one. This is, in effect, what the stream of electrons does on the face of the scope. When the area has been covered from top to bottom, the antenna slowly elevates and the beam repaints the area from bottom to top. By moving up and down this way between the elevation limits of the set, the beam effectively scans all the space within this pyramid-shaped area in front of the night fighter. Any target flying into this area will show up in the C-scope. Let's say our target is right here. When the beam points in this particular direction, the target and echoes are reflected back. Although the antenna revolves at high speed, it moves up and down comparatively slowly, and since there are thousands of transmitted pulses per second, a good many echoes will be returned while the beam is on the target. These returning echoes will brighten a spot on the scope screen at a point that corresponds exactly to the target's position in front of the night fighter. The face of the scope is marked off with a vertical azimuth line and a horizontal elevation line. The point where they intersect is dead ahead of you. Any blips that appear above the horizontal line are from targets higher than you are. Those blips that appear below are from targets lower than you are. So the C-scope is able to give you a scaled-down picture of what you would be able to see with your own eyes if conditions permitted. For example, this enemy plane, which is to the left and below your night fighter, will show up on your C-scope as a blip to the left and below the intersection of your reference lines. To get on target in elevation, you simply maneuver your plane so the blip will come to the intersection. In this case, by turning left and diving slightly, you'll line up on your target. The addition of this clock-type mask enables the radar operator to guide the pilot in clock terms. When the blip is on the crosshairs, you know that you're on target in elevation and asthma. Keep your eye on the B-scope, and when the blip gets within gun range, open up on him. In these three pictures, you've seen how radar works in principle and have seen many of its wartime applications. The same principles apply, of course, to radar reconverted into peacetime uses. Harbor control, navigation through fog and darkness by ships on the sea. And in the air, blind aircraft landings. Weather forecasting, meteorology in which radar locates and traces approaching storms. Newfield, astronomy opened up when we made radar contact with the moon. On this sketch of the scope picture, you can see the main bang and 238,000 miles along the baseline, the echo bounced back from the moon. Here's the actual scope receiving the moon echo. With a souped-up transmitter and hypersensitive receiver, the echo from the moon appeared as a good-sized pip, 238,000 miles away.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jaspyscasebrakes.com. Another NSCC promo break just sold out, 21-22, sorry. Penini and Peckable basketball Asia edition, two box break, Truantzi's number six just sold out. Now, the boxes that we were continuing on from picker team number four and five are still in transit on its way from the national, but we did get a case of Impeccable in today, so we're just gonna use this as the fresh case and then eventually use those other boxes or something else, just so that way we can break it today, of course. And again, 15 total spots where we get Truantzi's NBA, and this is a two box break. So I already put your 15 names into the list randomizer right there, or for the promo. So starting with Andrew, all the way down to Carl, there's the 15 names, and this is break number 58, so we're almost there guys, we had to hit 75. So let's double up your names, since it is two random teams, only 15 names though for the randomizer for the giveaway, but double up your names there for the teams, names, roll it, and let's do the randomizer. One, two, five, six times, one, two, three, four, five, six, Carl down to Michael, one, two, five, six times, six times, one, two, three, four, five, six, Minnesota Timberwolves down to the Washington Wizards, six times, six times, boom. So Carl, you have the Timberwolves, Steve with the Hornets, Michael with the Pelicans, Carl with the Pacers, Alan with the 76ers, Carl with the Bucks, Michael with the Nets, Daniel with the Thunder, Carl with the Knicks, Chad B with the Jazz, Michael with the Magic, Chad B with the Cavs, Carl with the Bulls, Alan with the Blazers, Steve with the Spurs, Carl with the Heat, Andrew with the Celtics, Steve with the Nuggets, Warriors, Anthony with the Raptors, Carl with the Kings, Anthony with the Pistons, Dylan with the Hawks, Carl with the Grizzlies, Andrew with the Lakers, Carl with the Mavericks, Rockets, Dylan with the Clippers, Daniel with the Sons, and Michael with the Washington Wizards. So, if anybody wants to make any trades, this is your time to make any trades. If not, we're gonna start around on about 30 seconds to a minute. I'll check Caz for Pistons if anybody's interested. Who has the Pistons? Anthony Huyenga, let me know. Yeah, actually, yeah, right Chad, yeah, this is, I forget, this is 21-22, Mowgli, Kate Cunningham, you know, Scotty Barnes, Josh Giddy, yeah. We've been doing a lot of 20-21 lately that kind of forgot about the 21-22, besides NT, of course. All right, well, maybe Anthony's not here, Chad. So let's just, TWC it. So, put that down there. Asia Unpackable. Let me scan this out before I forget. Perfect, and let's open this up. So, yeah, guys, so basically six, seven, eight, nine should be from the same case. And to my knowledge, we should be able to put all four of those as promo breaks, since we were missing nine. So, we'll still be able to continue to list them as they sell out. So, there's eight boxes here, guys. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Let's just random generate the first two, and then we'll just grab randomly for the next couple after that. So, let's get a dice here. Home, number generator, and there's eight. First one, first one will choose two. One, two, there's that one. Yeah, I'm hoping it wouldn't be bad. And five. Three, four, five, top box. So, these here will be used for future breaks, and I did post up the next two boxes. So, you guys wanna give that one a shot? Here we go. Try to trade code and trade Mojo, yeah? Carl Lastbop Mojo is Houston Rockets. And here we go, guys. Nice, Carl, you should, man. Oh, that was a nice one. I didn't realize also that giddy that I hear for Shogmatic is gonna be a huge car. The out of 49 bronze, I've seen Josh Giddy recently sold last week for like 15,000. So, that, a 10 gold, should be a pretty big one as well. I haven't seen a metal card yet. Did anybody see him ending the case with Joe over at the national? Cause I don't, I mean, they put that little, they put that little thing, right? I don't know if I can figure it out. That's all I've been seeing. I haven't seen a metal card yet. But maybe they do, they're just pretty rare. All right, we have a Clay Thompson and we have a Corey Casper. They still put the stainless stars. They just haven't put a thick metal card. At least to my knowledge, I haven't seen it. So like these reds are not numbered but they're exclusive Asia red. And then the RPAs and autographs have been either out of 88 or out of eight. So, those have been the numbered ones. Yolkich, that's what I've seen so far. Jeremiah Robinson Earl, nice RP-88. Damn, look at that. Three color patches as well. Thunder Daniel with that one. Wow, try to trade for this team. It actually had a Kate Cunningham. 21 out of 88, two color patch and autograph. Holy schnikes. I was not expecting that. There you go, first box in the books. I was not expecting that. I mean, the last case we were working on, the first case with Joe and me at the National. I did remember seeing the Scotty Barnes and the Mobley that we hit in the same case. So you never know, guys. Remember, Impeccable is usually only three boxes. Asia does it out of eight. So you figure that for the price point, probably put a couple of good rookies in here. Especially since there's no metal cards. You never know, it could be a hot case. Hot case. Wow, Kawhi Leonard to eight Clippers edition. And a little chipping right there in that corner. I don't think it's part of the color of the card. Maxi, then Clip Show is Dylan. We have a little Ja-Marant, Ja-Ja. Miles McBride, nice little three color patch and autograph to 88. And that is Nick's Carl. Nice three color patch there. Wow, Jonathan Caminga as well. 36 out of 88. Very nice, two boxes there. Golden State Warriors, that is Steve Birch. Nice little JK right there.  So it could be a hot case guys, you never know. Caminga, McBride, Kate Cunningham, Jeremiah Rumson-Earl, there you go, guys. So this was Asia number six, number sevens in the store, Jasby'scasebrace.com, thanks guys.


Thousands of Anganwadi and mid-day meal workers and pensioners stormed Chennai on February 10 with their long-pending demands, targeting the AIADMK-led state government. Two massive demonstrations were held. The demands of the protesters included fill up the 4.5 lakh vacancies, regularise 3.5 lakh employees with time-scale pay, provide gratuity of Rs. 5 lakh at the time of retirement, provide Rs. 7,850 monthly pension. The demonstration led by the Tamil Nadu Midday Meal and Anganwadi Pensioners Union gathered outside the Paragal building inside the pit, which houses the Social Welfare Department. The other demonstration led by the Tamil Nadu Nutritious Meal Workers Union was held outside the state guest house in Chepak. Anganwadi workers and pensioners have held several protests in district capitals over the past few months, but the government continued to ignore their issues, leading to the call for this mass demonstration in Chennai. The Tamil Nadu Meal and Anganwadi pensioners receive amniapotence of Rs. 2,000 every month. It is a matter of great concern. Even now, the government continues to support the amniapotence of amniapotence. In the morning, the government said that we will do the same for the people of Chepak. But instead, the government said that we will provide them with benefits. It is very difficult to provide them with benefits. We will be able to provide them with benefits within a week or two. We will be able to provide them with benefits within a half hour. We cannot provide them with benefits within a half hour. We are happy to provide them with benefits. The same is true for the Mughal Union. The Mughal Union is very small. Even though it has been 36 years, the Mughal Union is very small. The Mughal Union is very small. Even though it has been 36 years, the Mughal Union is very small. It is very difficult to provide them with benefits within a month or two. Even though it has been 36 years, the Mughal Union is very small. Even though it has been 36 years, the Mughal Union is very small. The minimum pension fixed as per the Tamil Nadu pension rules is Rs. 3,850 per month. But they are not covered under it. The pensioners are unable to survive on the present pension and have even taken to rock picking and begging. The Social Welfare Minister had earlier promised to talk with the Chief Minister and execute the demands of the Anganwadi and midday meal workers. But nothing came of it. How do we pay Rs. 2,000?  Can we take a job? Can we eat? Nothing is enough for me. So, we have come to the Tamil Nadu government for the needs of the Mughal Union. The Mughal Union is very small now. We do not have any respect for the Mughal Union. We are not old people. So, our livelihood will be better if we give pension. The agitating workers have stated that they will continue the protests if their demands are not met. If the pension amount is not hiked, the pensioners' union has decided to burn copies of the special pension scheme. In the Mughal Union, the pensioners who buy special pensions will be paid Rs. 6,750 per month for pension, agavellipadi, and maruthuopadi.


This paper presents a comprehensive research agenda for strengthening community health systems, CHS. It begins with a discussion of the importance of CHSs and their role in achieving universal health coverage. The authors then outline eight priority areas for research and practice, including clarification of the purpose and values of CHSs, ensuring inclusivity, design, implementation and monitoring of strategies to strengthen CHSs, social, political and historical contexts of CHSs, community health workers, the interface between the CHS and the broader health system, governance and stewardship, and ethics. Finally, the authors propose a manifesto outlining the shared vision and commitment of all stakeholders involved in strengthening CHSs. This article was authored by Moses Techewee, Anna Karen Herdig, Frida Johnson and others.


Why should Christians call out false teachers? Well, here's why. I've been chosen by God to hold the highest rank out of all preachers in the world.  When they don't, they're disrespecting the highest order in the land. The pope of the whole church, universally. I'm the top head over the church, universally.  That's why, to be honest with you guys, I don't like men of God. I'd rather be with my sons and daughters. I'd rather be with my family. I'd rather be with people who are you do business with that are in the world that are not even believers than to be with Christians. Christians are hypocrites. Where is my spirit? Out of your innermost belly will flow. So your spirit is in your belly. I am here because the black church owes this community an apology. God doesn't care about your sin anymore.


Why should I work towards or why should I attain mukti and get myself liberated from births? Do you see that you seem to be, you're not dead sure about it, but you seem to be something more than this body and this mind. You're not sure, but it seems like that, isn't it? So would you like to know what it is? Why should I know?   Huh?   With my blessing, without my blessing you will still die, is it okay? Is it okay?  Suppose that death is next moment, will you go joyfully? Now, why should I liberate myself? This is not my idea or your idea, the life within you is always longing to go beyond limitations. Whatever is your present limitation, liberate yourself from that. Whatever is your present compulsion, liberate yourself from that. You will notice there's a next level of compulsions. You liberate yourself from that, you will notice a next level of compulsion. If you liberate yourself continuously like this, some point there must be a point where there is no other compulsion within you, isn't it? Is it your desire to live in limitations and compulsions? You can settle for it because you don't have the energy to go. You may say this is okay, if I just lock you up in this hall, if you are tired and sick, you will say, «Sadhguru, just two meals a day, if you give me, I don't mind, I will sleep here only. No problem.  Yes or no?  I don't want liberation, I don't want nothing. I don't want to step out on the street.  That is if you lost it all. If life is throbbing within you, you are not willing to settle for that, isn't it? Yes or no? So if life is throbbing within you, you are not willing to live within any limitation or any compulsion, it doesn't matter how pleasant it is. If I decorate this very good and give you good food, don't go anywhere. You will be locked right here. Very good food, well decorated space, you can't go anywhere. Will you stay here? No.  If you are alive and energetic, you will not stay, isn't it? That's all it is. If you are alive and energetic, liberation is a natural longing.  As long as somebody gives me something, I'll hang around and go. Doesn't matter, there's one more life or no more life. Is it not important that you go beyond your limitations and your compulsions? This is not somebody's concept. This is the longing of every life. Either it finds conscious expression or unconscious expression. That's all the choice you have. You have no choice to decide whether I want to be free or not. You have no choice whether I want liberation or not. You anyway long for it. If you long for it consciously, it may find fulfillment. If you long for it unconsciously, you will do all kinds of freaky things. In the name of freedom, you will get drunk. In the name of freedom, you will do drugs. In the name of freedom, you will jump off the mountain and smash yourself. People have done all these things in pursuit of freedom, haven't they? Yes or no? But if you do it consciously, you may find fulfillment. If you do it unconsciously, you may just get lost in the process. I am just talking about doing your life consciously. I am not talking about doing something else. I am just talking about doing the same life process as consciously as possible. Because if you do it consciously, it will find fulfillment.


Let's summarize what we have learned about DNS security. First, we have explored cache poisoning attacks, as an example of attacks to the information in the DNS. We have seen several variants of attacks in increasing degree of complexity and gain for attacker. Finally, we have looked at possible mitigation strategies. We have then moved on to discuss situation in which the DNS itself is the target of an attack. We have reasoned about what are the consequence of a successful attack against DNS, and then we have looked into a real event, the attack against the root servers in November and December 2015. Based on this event, we have summarized some mitigation strategies that have been deployed in practice. Finally, we have studied a practical case of possible misuse of the DNS system for malicious goals. We have looked at the DNS stack and the trade-off between adding authenticity and integrity to DNS and the cost of larger responses. And now this can be misused in the context of reflection and anti-implification attacks. We also have seen possible mitigation strategies, such as blocking queries that will type any and move to elliptic curve cryptography, which is more secure than the currently used RSA scheme and also uses smaller keys.
