Hey, it's Christian here. We are in Koso Moe Thailand. I'm going to show you my Airbnb.  Where do you stay when you travel around the world and go to different places? Is it comfortable? Am I going to miss home? Is it going to feel like I'm traveling on the time, like I'm on the road? The answer is no, not really. And I'm going to show you why. Let's check this place out. First things first, we got our scooter. You can get around town on one of these. You can be anywhere in minutes and it's super fun. Just cruising around, driving the left side of the road so you got to get used to it for a minute, but it's not so bad. It's kind of the downstairs.  I'm going to show you the place. Let's do it. This is the outdoor pool. If it gets too hot, come out here, take a dip, take a break from work. We got a nice work table out here too. It's been a little rainy, but today is beautiful and sunny. We're gonna hop inside and see where the magic happens when it's raining. So this is the main living area. We got the living room here. Got a nice little TV set up. You can hear the Muay thai trucks driving by advertising the matches for tonight. But here is the main work set up. So I have a laptop over here and do a little work right there. That's my office. And then my roomy Matthew, he's got his fancy stand. But this is where we do most of our work when it's too hot out or it's raining. We're gonna go over to the kitchen. We've got everything in the kitchen. Actually just brewed up some coffee. I'm gonna get some of that while I'm talking to you. Get my caffeine fixed for the day. So here in Thailand the coffee's not very good. So I actually splurged for some Italian coffee. I do gotta have my creature comforts. And one of those things that I have to have no matter where I go is a nice cup of coffee. All right now let's check out the downstairs bedroom. Here we've got my bedroom and one of the nicest things about these rooms. I've got these like wood canna walls with the inset. They actually light up at night. It's really cool. It's super high-end. And then I just love the furniture in Southeast Asia. The style. And then of course this opens up to the pool. And the bathroom. Nice walk-in shower. I love the walk-in shower. You don't have to step over the tub or anything. Right? So bedroom number one upstairs. Just beautiful doors in this place. I love it. Master bedrooms in this house. So we've got the nice windows. And then it goes out to the deck here. In-suite bathroom in each of these. You've got a closet. Same sort of bathroom downstairs. Walk-in shower. We're gonna check out the last bedroom. So this is the master. We've got a nice chill area up here. Then we've got a bedroom and uh... All right so here we are on the balcony. I don't know if you can see it but the ocean is out there. It's just a quick scooter ride away. And you're on the beach having lunch in no time. Get a massage. So this is our place in Koso Moe. As you can see being a digital nomad is pretty comfortable. As long as you have your basic styled in you can be just as comfortable at home very quickly. And usually I'm actually gonna stay in a much nicer place because I couldn't afford this place at home most likely. But since everything is cheaper here you can splurge a little and kind of feel what it feels like to be in an upper-income bracket when maybe at home you don't get to do that. But this is our place in Koso Moe Airbnb. And I'll see you next time on Nomad Koreans.


At least 26 people have been killed and clashes over the disputed Manyang and Nayanakak areas separating Warrap State and Western Bar El Ghazal State in South Sudan. More than 150 people have been killed since last week in separate conflicts that have pitted on youths from Warrap State against rivals from the neighboring lakes in Western Bar El Ghazal States, and a Bayei, an administrative area that is jointly run by South Sudan and Sudan, according to Reuters. The conflicts do not appear to be directly connected but are all linked to the control of land and natural resources, local officials say. The fighting between the two communities over the disputed areas of Manyang and Nayanakak first erupted in August 2023. South Sudan has been formally at peace since a 2018 deal that ended a five-year conflict responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, but localized violence between rival communities flares frequently. President Selvakir and First Vice President Rik Machar, whose respective forces battle each other during the 2013-2018 civil war, met to call for and end to subnational violence in parts of the country. According to a post by the government on social media platform AXDOT the latest clashes occurred on Monday when armed youths from Warrap State attacked and burnt a police station and market in Western Bar El Ghazal State, the state's acting governor Arcon Geloenir Anir told Reuters.


Today, Bitcoin had its first major pullback in the month of February, back down to levels not seen since last week. A day ago, everybody was asking me about the dip. They were asking me when was the crypto market going to dip so that they can buy. As you guys can see here, everything is red except XRP, which is up 8% today. Now those same people today are saying that it's over and that Bitcoin is going down to zero. You guys are drunk if that's what you think and you should go home. Today we are talking about this dip and prices across the entire market and mostly focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum today and giving you guys some trade setups for the rest of this week. Let's dive right in. Hey, what's up, it's Jay here and welcome back to Bitcoin Daily bringing you guys the best tips, tutorials and ideas to help you guys become profitable and successful traders. The goal of this channel is to empower you guys with the resources and knowledge to help you get to that next level. So if you guys haven't done so yet, make sure to subscribe, make sure to hit that like button and make sure to turn on that notification bell so that you guys are notified as soon as we post these new videos five times a week. So of course the first thing we're going to talk about is a trade recap from the weekend from the trades that we gave you guys on Friday's video. So the first trade that we gave you guys for Bitcoin was the entry above 55K. So that was basically this entry right here. And if you did not, if you were not able to catch that, you had another opportunity right here, which took you all the way up to the all-time highs of around $58,500. And that would have been a 55K entry up to the all-time high would have been about a 64% profit if you use 10X leverage like us. If you took instead the 56K entry that we also gave you guys because we saw that that price went up, if you took that 56K entry, you could have entered right around here and that would have been wrote it up all the way to the top. That would have been around a 45% profit on that trade if you use 10X like we did. In Ethereum, if you use the 1980 entry that we gave you guys, you would have been able to write it up to about the its new all-time high, which is around 2041, which would have been a 15% profit. And if instead you caught the $2,000 up to its new all-time high trade, you would have done about a 10% profit. Using 5X leverage. So if you missed any of these trades, do not worry because today in this video, we have new trade setups for this week for you guys. So let's jump right in. All right, so first let's go ahead and take a look at what's been going on over the weekend with Bitcoin. So as far as news, Elon Musk, it was being reported that Elon Musk was saying that Bitcoin price was too high. But the thing was that it gets taken out of context. So Peter Schiff, which is a very famously known Bitcoin bear, said, according to Elon Musk, Bitcoin is almost as BS as fiat money. So Musk regards both Bitcoin and fiat as BS. I agree, I just think Bitcoin, which is digital fiat, is even more BS than the paper fiat issued by central banks. Gold is not BS, it's real money and better than both. So that's what Peter Schiff tweeted. By the way, Peter's son is huge into Bitcoin. So it's just ridiculous that his son is ahead of his father. But anyways, Elon Musk replied, an email saying you have gold is not the same as having gold. You might as well have crypto. Money is just data that allows us to avoid the inconvenience of barter. That data, like all data, is subject to latency and error. The system will evolve to that which minimizes both. Obviously, gold is not going to be that system. It's only a store of value. Bitcoin is also a store of value, but you can also make transactions with it. So it's a lot easier, right? Bitcoin is subject to latency, but it's not subject to error. A lot of stuff that went on in this tweet. And then at the end he said, that said, BTC and ETH do seem high. So he said that they seem high. He didn't say that he thought they were too high or anything like that. But of course, he gets taken out of context as always by Bitcoin bears, because they're super upset that Bitcoin's about to hit 60K, right? Then later on that same day, Elon Musk went ahead and tweeted this video out. Cryptocurrency explained. So, you know, now he's, why didn't the news media put this tweet out, right? They only pick and choose what they want, right? Then he also tweeted, heard a rumor some crypto coin was pegging the dollar and then saying, or did they say pegged to the dollar? Something like that. So he's been having fun all weekend. Of course, Dojo for Doge and a lot of other stuff. You know, he's mostly always trolling guys. A lot of what he says cannot be taken seriously. He's just trolling on Twitter. Then of course today, this morning, we have Janet Yellen, yet again yelling against Bitcoin, saying warning that Bitcoin is extremely inefficient basically for transactions, right? So apparently Janet Yellen has not tried to make wire transfers before, if she is saying that Bitcoin is inefficient when it comes to transactions. So yet another episode of dinosaurs not understanding Bitcoin. I would not be surprised if she doesn't even use email. She probably still uses fax machines. Oh wait, I called the IRS the other day and they asked me to fax over something. Yeah, she definitely uses a fax machine. All right, so now jumping into the Bitcoin chart, we can see here that Bitcoin basically went all the way up to $58,500, which is its new all time high, and then dumped all the way as low as $47,575, right? So of course other crypto bears today are out of the woodworks, even though year to date, Bitcoin's up 80%, in the last three months, Bitcoin's up 129%, in the last month, Bitcoin's up 55%, the last six months, Bitcoin's up 343%, in the last 12 months, Bitcoin's up 447%. So as we look at the chart here, we see that Bitcoin is actually respecting the line that we drew here, the support. Remember on Friday, we drew the support here for you guys, and we mentioned that it had touches, many, many, many touches all over here, and now here is another one. And it looks like the support is yet again holding for Bitcoin there. So basically we're going to continue to try to use the support as an entry here, and let's see if we can close above this and close above $50,000. As long as we close above this support, and if we close above $50,000, then we are good peoples. This is a normal, very normal dip, because prices don't only go straight up. Look at the Bitcoin chart, guys. Where on the Bitcoin chart does the price just go up without ever going down? So one of the things we spoke about on Friday was this overbought territory that we were in with Bitcoin on the RSI, right? So with this dip, it has reset the RSI, and we have gone out of the overbought territory, and this is perfectly normal. This is exactly how our market structures, markets don't just go up. You will always see dips along the way as we go up, right? Remember this whole section right here, when everybody thought that was the end of the world right there? And look at us now. So if we look at every time we've been in overbought territory, we know we've expected some sort of dip or consolidation, right? We're overbought here. We saw a dip there. We were overbought here. We saw a dip there. Overbought, dip, overbought, dip, overbought, dip and consolidation. You guys get the picture. So we've actually had a huge bounce here in this candle, as you guys can see, after we hit that low, and now we're back on top of the support. We closed above the support, and we're currently, this current candle is above the support. So we're looking good, guys. Nothing to worry about here. As long as we stay above the support and stay above 50K, I think we're looking pretty, pretty good to continue up and break that 60K soon. In Ethereum, a lot more of the same as you guys can see here. We were overbought here, and this has basically taken us to pretty much oversold territories, right? Over here, last time we were overbought, we also saw that dip. And if you guys just keep going back, you guys will see more of the same just over and over, right? Look at this overbought here. Look at this dip here. So let's go ahead and move the Fibonacci retracement level up to its new high. And then let's take a look at these levels. So you see currently where we're bouncing at right here in Ethereum is right at that Fib level, which is right around that 1730-1715 level, right? That's currently where we're at. We're seeing if we can get that bounce there. As you guys can see, there was lots of bounces there before, including some resistance there before that. So that's currently what we're watching right here. We need that level to hold. As long as that holds, I expect to see new highs as we've seen going along the way here. Remember that Ethereum always follows Bitcoin for the most part. It's correlated over 90% correlation, I believe. So of course, when Bitcoin moves down, it's going to move down as well. When Bitcoin moves up, it's also going to move up. When Bitcoin consolidates, it could consolidate or it could move up. So it just depends. This is a great opportunity to buy for long-term investments here, guys. 1700 is a great support here. I'm adding to my long-term positions here. I'm also adding to my long-term positions down here at that 1500 level. I love that level. So I'll be adding there if we were. I wasn't able to add there because it just happened too fast for me. But if we do go back to those levels, I'm adding to my long-term positions there, as well as here. We will undoubtedly go back to these all-time highs. Just a matter of time. So this is your opportunity for all of you who are looking for a dip. This is your opportunity to jump back in during this dip in both Ethereum and Bitcoin. So don't miss out on this opportunity. All right, guys. So we've gone ahead and done a recap of what happened over the weekend. We've gone ahead and took a quick look into both Bitcoin and Ethereum and now we're going to give you guys some trade setups that we are watching for this week during this dip because, as you guys know, we will buy the dip. If you guys are enjoying this video so far, go ahead and hit that subscribe button. If you're not subscribed yet, make sure to also put a thumbs up on this video and turn on the notification bell so that you guys are notified as soon as we post brand new videos every single day, five days a week. All right, so in Bitcoin, the first thing that we're going to be looking for here, if we continue down, we are watching, of course, this level right here. As we told you guys, this ascending support level here, there's been a lot of touches here and it's been used as a very strong support. So as long as we're closing above this, I like this entry here. Also, we have the 50-day moving average here as well. So this level here around 52,000 to 50, basically 52K area, right? 52 to 53 area is going to be a nice bounce area to catch a bounce back up as it's currently doing right now. But just in case we do see another dip, if it were to go lower than that, then the next level we're looking at is, of course, 50,000. And if 50,000 was to not hold, then we're looking, of course, at 48K, where we bounced this morning, or 46K, where we have a whole lot of stuff going on there. If we do see a break to the upside, then we're looking, of course, at that $55,000 range. That is our first breakout entry that we're looking for here. And of course, our target is going to be more or less that $58,000 range as our first main target. But our really main one is $60,000 per Bitcoin. In Ethereum, we're looking, we're watching this level that it's currently on right around that $1,700 range. We like that range for an entry. If you can't catch that, then you can look above it around that $1,750 range. A break above that would be nice. And then the final breakout trade that we're looking at would be above $1,800. Of course, our target is going to be 2,000 and these previous all-time highs that we just hit over the weekend. If we were to go lower, then of course we're watching this $1,650 range. $1,600 could be a level as well. It's a weaker support. And then the strongest support is going to be down here at that $1,500 range. Those will be the next supports that we're watching and looking for entries. Of course, we're always looking to buy on the bounce back and not on the drop. So when we say that, what that means is when it drops like this, we're not buying, but when it crosses back over, that's when we hit that buy trigger and enter on those trades. That's pretty much it for today's video, guys. We did a recap on what happened over the weekend and today's dip. Then we did a price analysis on both Bitcoin and Ethereum. And then we finished it off with, of course, some trade setups for this week. So hopefully you guys are buying the dip just like we are this week. If you guys enjoyed this video, go ahead and make sure to hit that subscribe button. Make sure to also leave a thumbs up on this video. If you have any questions about anything that we spoke about on this video, go ahead and drop it in the comments. We'll be more than happy to give you an answer. And that's pretty much it, guys. I know it's a bloody Monday, but days like today is when you're supposed to buy the dip. This is when you buy. When there's fear in a market is when you want to buy. So remember, guys, this is a very small drop compared to what's happened in the past. We've barely dropped. I know a lot of bears are going to come out now, but go ahead and dollar cost average in as we've told you guys all the time. Thank you guys so much. Have a wonderful Monday. I will see you guys tomorrow on the next video. As always, peace and love.


Item number SCP-060 Object Class Keter Special Containment Procedures The Grove, which contains SCP-060, is currently contained in a series of specially constructed greenhouses of Satellite Site 66-060. Specimens are to be pruned regularly to keep at a manageable size. Personnel are banned from smoking while within 5 km of Satellite Site 66-060. Personnel are to refrain from bringing lighters, matches, tasers, or any other tool readily capable of starting a fire in the Satellite Site 66-060. SCP-060 specimens are to be watered twice daily and checked weekly for dead plant matter and saplings. Dead matter and saplings are to be pruned, shredded, and composted properly in the dedicated facility on site. Afterwards return to SCP-060's containment chamber. Plants of SCP-060 may not be moved off site for any reason without explicit written permission from two or more Level IV personnel. In the event of a breach by SCP-060 Alpha, personnel are to interlock down mode and activate on-site fire suppression systems. Redundant on-site fire suppression systems have been installed throughout the site, including water and chemical retardants to be utilized in tandem in the event of a containment breach. Portable extinguishers are to be kept available at all times. Containment Chamber 060-Alpha-001 is a dedicated circular containment chamber designed to contain SCP-060 Alpha during testing. This chamber is constructed of concrete with a 0.2 meter thick ofbestos coating, with a series of chimneys to allow for ventilation of heat during containment. The walls are fitted with 24 CO2 projectors evenly spread at 45 degree angles along the walls, and will activate in the presence of temperatures exceeding 200 degrees Celsius. One kilogram of SCP-060 material is to be kept within containment chamber 060 Alpha-001 to be burned in the event of a breach. Description, SCP-060 is a grove of 17 white oak trees, corkish alba. The grove is spread across approximately 8 acres in rural northeastern Minnesota. A house on the property was demolished during the construction of satellite Site-66-060 after being coned by Foundation personnel for information regarding SCP-060. See Addendum. When burned, SCP-060 will produce an entity henceforth designated SCP-060 Alpha.  SCP-060 Alpha initially burns at a temperature of approximately 1500 degrees Celsius, or 2,730 degrees Fahrenheit, and will attempt to cause as much damage as possible when active. Burning as little as 20 grams of SCP-060 will cause SCP-060 Alpha to appear. Only one instance of SCP-060 Alpha will appear at any time. It is theorized that 060 Alpha is a unique entity.  It appears to be a single recurring entity, showing a growing familiarity with satellite Site-66-060's layout over the course of several manifestations. When given the opportunity, it will throw itself bodily at flammable materials in an effort to cause damage and assault personnel with a focus on grappling and strangulation. Additionally, it is proven capable of running at speeds of up to 80 km per hour, or 50 mph, in short bursts and leaping approximately 5 meters from a running start. Due to the extreme temperatures produced by 060 Alpha during the initial stages of manifestation, along with the physical capabilities, it is capable of causing large, uncontrolled fires and widespread property damage if left unchecked. SCP-060 Alpha appears to intentionally avoid burning instances at SCP-060 when it becomes active. If SCP-060 Alpha is introduced to a high enough volume of water or other flame-retarded material over a short amount of time, it will begin to weaken to the point it will collapse into dust. Collapse will occur suddenly with little warning. SCP-060 Alpha will continue to pose a threat up until its collapse. The volume of suppressing material required to subdue SCP-060 Alpha is markedly less than it would be expected to quench a heat source of its intensity, with volumes of approximately 500 liters proving sufficient. Areas burned by SCP-060 Alpha will begin to yield sapling instances of SCP-060 over the following four to six weeks. Only one wave of sapling growth will follow any given containment breach. Said saplings are easily pulled and should be composted and supplied to SCP-060's normal containment chambers. Additional information regarding 060. The property containing SCP-060 contained a burned out, secluded house upon Foundation acquisition. According to civilian sources, the house's previous owner was a Jonathan Courhill, who was reported to have been a somewhat solitary eccentric, with a tendency towards bitterness and nihilism. Mr. Courhill was reported as a missing person in late 1996, several months after having suddenly cut off all ties to family members and friends. The last person to have had contact with Jonathan Courhill was his brother Christopher via a telephone call. According to his brother, Courhill had developed an interest in the study of Victorian-era occultism. Furthermore, he reported that Jonathan Courhill had seemed normal up until the phone call, at which point he told Christopher never to contact him again. Later in the year, a mail carrier visited the home to deliver a nose of foreclosure, finding it instead as a burnt-out shell. Examination showed the fire began in the living room in the general vicinity of the fireplace. It is now assumed that SCP-060-Alpha manifested within the house, while Courhill burned SCP-060 in the fireplace. Considering SCP-060-Alpha's nature, why the house was not entirely destroyed during this alleged manifestation is yet unknown. No human remains were found within the structure. Jonathan Courhill's whereabouts, and whether he is dead or alive, is currently unknown.


Before I begin talking to you about functional groups, I want to show you some notation. Imagine I want to tell you about the following molecule. But the part I'm specifically interested in is the OH group here, the oxygen and hydrogen, and not really the rest of the molecule. Then I can draw it R-OH. The R means some organic bit, but it's not important what it is. The bit attached to the R is what we're really interested in. This R notation will turn up a fair bit when we want to emphasise some part of a molecule without needing to specify what the rest of the molecule is. So this video is about functional groups. A functional group is a group of atoms other than singly bonded carbons and hydrogens that's attached to a basic hydrocarbon molecule, and which has some particular effect on its chemical and physical properties. In the molecule I drew above, the functional group is the OH. The backbone, if you like, of the molecule is butane, but we have this extra OH group attached, and it's called a functional group. There are many kinds of functional groups, and this particular one is called an alcohol. Let's have a look at some more. The table I have here has a list of functional groups. This is not exhaustive, but it contains all the groups we need to know for now. The family column on the left tells you the name given to all molecules that have this functional group. And I'm going to draw in the group of atoms that makes up each functional group. I'm going to start at the bottom of the table and work up. The reason for this particular ordering will become clear in a later video. Several of the simpler families are already familiar to you. The alkanes, the alkenes, and the alkynes. Alkanes don't really have a functional group since they're the most basic of hydrocarbons. Alkenes have a double bond, and alkynes have a triple bond. Propene is an example of an alkene. The next family is the alkylhalides, or the haloalkanes. These molecules are identical to alkanes, except that one or more of the hydrogens in the molecule is replaced by a halogen atom. This could be fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The halogen atom constitutes the functional group. An example of one of these is this, and it's known as bromopropane. Next we have the amines. Here, a nitrogen and two hydrogens are added to the molecule. An example would be propanamine. These molecules have behaviour in common with ammonia, from which they are derived. Ammonia is a base, a proton acceptor, and so are amines. Next is the alcohols. These molecules all have in common the OH functional group that you saw on the previous slide, an oxygen and a hydrogen. An example of one of these would be propanol. Next the ketones. These have a double bonded oxygen attached to one of the middle carbons of the molecule. So an example of this is propanone, also commonly known as acetone. Note that the C double bond O group by itself is called a carbonyl group. Then we have the aldehydes. These molecules also have a carbonyl group, the C double bond O, but it will always be at the end of the molecule, not in the middle. Here's an example, this one's known as propanol. Next are the amines. Here you take a carbonyl group and you join an amine to it, and together that makes an amide. This molecule is propanamide. Then the esters. Again you take a carbonyl group and then add an oxygen and another hydrocarbon part. This ester is called methylpropanoate. And finally carboxylic acids. In this functional group there is a carbonyl group on the end of the carbon chain and an alcohol group is attached to it. The name carboxylic acid is not a coincidence because of the proximity of the two electronegative oxygen atoms, which draw electron density away, it's easy for this end hydrogen here to drop off and become a lone proton, a hydrogen ion. Hence when these compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate to give hydrogen ions. An example of one of these is propanoic acid.


It's very rare for much to withstand the test of time in science. Revision often leads to retraction, and that surefire theory that we thought was good today may actually not be so good tomorrow. But a hundred years ago, an Austrian physicist who had already changed the physics world put out a theory that made us rethink everything about the universe. And this is your space pod for November 20th, 2015. When Einstein introduced special relativity in 1905, he shocked the scientific world by putting the universe in a relativistic framework. But after that, he began to ponder, how could we put gravity into that framework? Well in 1907, he started an eight-year journey that would eventually lead to the theory of general relativity.  But as the numbers were crunched and the validity vetted, it was quickly hailed as the biggest advance in cosmology since Newtonian gravity. It explained many things, such as the shifting perihelion of the planet Mercury, solved large problems in physics that couldn't quite be explained with just Newtonian gravity and created a fine cosmological mesh with special relativity. General relativity sounds complicated. I mean, after all, it did take one of the greatest minds, the better part of a decade in order to figure it out. But in that complexity comes the beautiful simplicity of just how well it explains the physics. Spacetime is curved by matter, and that curve is experienced as gravitational force. That simple sentence sums up one of Einstein's greatest contributions to physics as we understand it. Satellite's trajectories, paths of light, and the passage of time that you and I experience is all relative to this curvature of spacetime. It's what allows things like gravitational lensing, black holes, and other curiosities of physics to occur. But as with everything in science, we must ask ourselves an important question. How do we know that general relativity actually exists? Luckily, there's been quite a few tests. English astronomer Arthur Eddington led an expedition in 1919 to observe a solar eclipse and compare the positions of stars near the sun with their predicted locations on an accurate star chart. If general relativity was at work, then those stars should appear slightly off. And what do you know? The imagery proved that the light from the stars was bent ever so slightly. In 2003, the Cassini spacecraft sent radio signals near the sun and the expected frequency was compared to what was actually received, and the signal showed that relativity was at play, showing up within 1,500th of the expected prediction. In 2004, a spacecraft called Gravity Pro Beat was launched to test relativity as it related to the Earth, specifically an effect called the geodetic effect. And this is a measurement of the effects of the curvature of spacetime caused by the Earth. And that effect was confirmed to within half a percent of what models predicted. Gravitational lensing is another way that we're able to predict general relativity. They won't happen without general relativity. And very amusingly, Einstein predicted that we would never have the optical systems to allow us to actually see gravitational lenses. Oh, if only Einstein could see what we can now. A new test is soon to start. Two Galileo navigation satellites for Europe were launched on August 22, 2014, and a fault in the Russian upper stage caused them to be placed into the wrong orbits. And over the past year, the European Space Agency has worked on raising the low points of their orbits so that the apogee and perigee only fluctuate by 8,500 kilometers. That difference allows the two satellites to experience a higher gravitational pull at one point in the orbit than at another point, meaning the atomic clocks on board will run a little slower closer to the Earth and a little faster away from the Earth. And we can compare these times to atomic clocks here on Earth. This orbital mishap has accidentally gifted us what will be the most precise test of general relativity ever.

I think focusing on saving money is pretty stupid, and here's what I think you should do instead. So I didn't grow up in a poor family, but we grew up in a very cheap family, I have three siblings, and we skimped on everything. We tried to save a buck anywhere that we could. I remember one time when I was a kid, we drove across town to another gas station just to save five cents a gallon on gas. That is how cheap we were. Now, Tony Robbins has the saying that where focus goes, energy flows.  If all you're focused on is, how do you save five cents, 20 cents a dollar, you're not gonna be focused on the thing that matters. And what really matters is finding ways to increase your income, to be more valuable to society and make more money. If you're making more money, you wouldn't have to worry about saving every cent possible. So that's why I think focusing on saving money is stupid, and you should focus on earning more and increasing your income instead.


Morning traders, Patrick Munley here with another Tick Mill chart hit. I want to draw your attention this morning to a developing opportunity in the sterling Swiss. You can see we've been in this triangle pattern and prices been attracting and now yesterday we got a key reversal pattern to the upside which coincidentally flipped all the volume waste average prices on the daily, the weekly and monthly timeframe bullish and so long exposure should be rewarded now on a break through the overnight high here at $119.75, immediate targets are weekly predicted range resistance at $120.35, through there onto monthly range resistance at $121.61 using protective stock below the overnight low. As always, traders plan the trade, trade the plan, most importantly, manage your risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


Hello again. Thank you again for welcoming me into your virtual sanctuary this morning. Earlier I named some of the ancestors who have made it possible for me to be here. It's important for me to tell you that I wouldn't be here without Unitarian Universalism either. My parents joined the UU Church in Brookfield, Wisconsin outside Milwaukee when I was six. My dad is the son and grandson of Presbyterian ministers, and my mom was raised a devout atheist. In Columbus, Wisconsin. The family joke is that when they became UU, my dad's whole family said, Oh no, he's lost religion. And my mom's whole family said, Oh no, she's found religion. I think of my parents as the quintessential Unitarian Universalists. They came from previous spiritual paths that didn't fit them. They are white and middle class and in their 60s, and they both have higher degrees. My dad was an environmentalist way before it was cool. They listen to NPR and read The New York Times and have season tickets to the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. They own two cars and a house and a suburb. They are politically active and vote Democrat. Sound familiar? I'm so grateful my parents joined my home church. It was a wonderful place to grow up. I was taught to honor my own truths. I came to believe that living our faith meant working to make the world a better place and fighting oppression. And as a queer and trans person, I was able to grow up without any sense that these deep truths about myself were at odds with my faith. And yet, not actively making it harder for me to be myself in the world was not enough for me to feel a sense of unconditional welcome and belonging in my church as I grew into adulthood. Nor have I ever felt that way in any of the dozens of UU churches I've been to since. I've never felt like any of them were places where I could fully get my spiritual needs met. Why? I was raised here. This is my religion. You would think that those of us who are raised UU would be the ones who would feel most at home in our congregations, right? The truth is really hard to face. The vast majority of those of us who are raised in a UU church leave. My parents church is not my church. Why? Well, before I answer that question, I want to tell you a little bit more about my parents. I love them dearly. They aren't perfect, but I've never questioned their love for me. And they have given me so much a great childhood, a college education, and acceptance that has grown into appreciation for who I am, even though I'm not the person they expected when they were raising me. When I was growing up, my parents world was a reflection of themselves. Their friends were all people like them, people their age, their race, their class. Our church was a reflection of my parents world as well. As the quintessential UUs, they fit right in. It was easy for them to feel a sense of total belonging, like our church had been made precisely with them in mind. As my sister and I grew older, it became clear that our parents expected our lives to look like theirs without being aware of it. They had so many unconscious assumptions that we would get master's degrees, own houses, be upwardly mobile, that we would have friends and partners of particular races, classes, abilities, genders. Of course, they had these assumptions. They wanted the best for us. Based on what their own lives and cultural contexts had told them, the best is. But my life and my sister's life don't look anything like our parents' lives. Our people are not their people. My sister married a wonderful man from Nicaragua who immigrated to Milwaukee to be with her. Spanish is the primary language in their home. There is a multiracial, multilingual community of friends and a huge, vibrant, extended Nicaraguan family. My community is also a multiracial, multilingual one. A community of queer and trans people of many faiths, many ages, many abilities. Like my brother-in-law, my partner is also working class. He's a generation older than me and queer and trans and in recovery and a long-term survivor of AIDS. Our given and chosen family bridges almost every facet of difference I can imagine. It's hard for any parent to let go of the framed picture that grows in their mind's eye of what their child's life will be like. It was particularly hard for my parents to grasp that their experience of the world and what they had been taught the best is does not translate to the lives of their children. At a certain point, I had to sit them down and say, look, I want a real relationship with you and I know you want a real relationship with me. And in order for that to happen, I need you to stop making assumptions and start asking questions. I need you to be curious about my life, how it's different from yours and what a difference those differences make. I need you to respect my truths. If you can't do this, we can still talk and see each other, but we're going to be people who talk about the weather. Because we are so different, real relationship takes more than just being friendly to each other. It takes actively engaging with our differences and doing the hard work of unlearning our assumptions. Now, my parents didn't have great relationships with their own parents, so they didn't have good models for what it would be like to have good relationships with their own adult children. I think Unitarian Universalism is the same way. If the quintessential UU, like my parents, came here from somewhere else, they might not have good models for how to be a religion whose children don't leave. Did you catch that? If most UUs have fled churches they didn't fit into, they might not know how to create a religious community where people who are different from them don't leave. It's not that our churches aren't welcoming.  It takes a little bit more than that for me to want to come back. I need more than friendliness. I need radical welcome. So what do I mean when I say radical welcome? Well, there's a really powerful model that my bestie, Reverend Slack, and I, talk about in our Trans Inclusion and Congregations program. It comes from Reverend Cannon Stephanie Spellers, a leader in the Episcopal Church. She talks about three ways that welcome shows up in congregations that are actively seeking to be welcoming. Invitation, inclusion, and radical welcome. Now, invitation is represented by the open door. All are welcome. Come on in. But there's an invisible asterisk after that phrase. All are welcome if you leave your sins like your sexuality behind. All are welcome if you don't need a wheelchair ramp or closed captions or a fragrance-free environment. All are welcome if you are able to make a financial pledge. The goal of the Inviting Congregation is assimilation. The expectation is that everyone who comes in will fit the existing norms for who we are and the way we do things here. If folks can't assimilate, they will eventually leave. Because of this, the Inviting Congregation is overwhelmingly homogenous. It wants to grow, but only with people who are like us. Inclusion is represented by a desire for diversity and surface-level acknowledgments of people who are different from the norm. Inclusion means we want to be a place where different sorts of people feel at home, but we put the burden on them to fit in. Maybe we march in pride, but don't have a gender-neutral bathroom. Maybe we put up a Black Lives Matter banner, but on Sundays we only use music and readings by white people. We might fill our website with images of children, but visiting parents get disapproving looks when their kids make noise during service. The goal of the Inclusive Congregation is incorporation. The expectation is if we add on top of the way we do things here. In small ways, people who are different from our norm will feel welcome. We aren't completely homogenous, but folks on the margins struggle to experience full belonging. The Inclusive Congregation wants to appear diverse, but it doesn't acknowledge what a difference our differences make. Radical welcome, that third type of welcome, is a practice of being transformed by relationships across lines of difference. Being radically welcoming means constantly practicing curiosity about the many different perspectives, values, gifts, and needs within and outside our congregation, and actively seeking out ways for them to influence the very core of who we are and change the way we do things here. The goal of the Radically Welcoming Congregation is incarnation, constantly being made new through our encounters with each other. The culture is co-created and everyone helps shape the congregation's identity, leadership, worship, and programs. The Radically Welcoming Congregation is truly diverse. So invitation says, I'm having a dinner party. Everyone's welcome. Inclusion says, you are invited to my dinner party. I'm making lots of pasta. I hope you come. Radical welcome says, hey, I'm thinking of having a dinner party. What do you like to eat? Are you vegan or gluten intolerant? Do you use chopsticks? Where should we gather? Do you feel the difference? The difference is relationship. Now the temptation is to see this as three stages, but that's not how it works. You see, inviting congregations think that welcome equals friendliness. So as long as they perceive themselves to be friendly, if folks don't feel welcome, they must not belong here. Inclusive congregations think welcome equals surface level efforts to acknowledge difference. So as long as there's a rainbow flag or a ramp or a once a year gospel service, if folks don't feel welcome, that's their fault. So invitation and inclusion are actually barriers to radical welcome. To the Radically Welcoming Congregation, welcome means personal and collective transformation. It means constantly seeking to expand our definition of us and remove the barriers that some of us face. It means practice, not perfection. I need radical welcome because my Unitarian Universalism isn't the same as my parents' Unitarian Universalism, just like my world isn't the same as their world. Remember how my parents wanted what was best for me based on what their lives had told them the best was? NPR, a PhD, upward mobility. The church I grew up in drew the same circle. Classical music, chairs and rows, orders of service, privileging that head over the heart. That's not my Unitarian Universalism.  A Pentecostal UUism of praise music and soul food. Worship services that break me open and bring me to tears. I really need a spiritual home where I can hit my knees, open my broken heart and be held and healed so I can go back out into the world and keep fighting. What I need you to understand is that drawing a circle that's big enough for my parents' UUism and my UUism is possible. I need you to understand that this isn't about hating on NPR or classical music. It's about adding new radio bands and new rhythms. It's about creating a mosaic. You know how a mosaic is made, right? From broken pieces. The invitation isn't to throw away my parents' UUism. The invitation is to transform it. To be made new by encounters with different flavors of Unitarian Universalism. Want to know the good news? The good news is you're already doing it. Because here you are online. It hasn't been easy or comfortable, am I right? But you have proven that this community is capable of immense change when the stakes are high enough. That's what radical welcome requires of us. It requires us to not only change, but to be changed in the process. It calls us not to invite more people into the circle, but to draw a wider and wider circle. It calls us not to tolerate or accept people who are different from us, but to celebrate and love people who are different from us and allow this love to transform us. My challenge to you today is to not lose the transformational power of this moment. Allow yourself to not just change, but be changed in the process. Grieve the things you miss about in-person worship, but also talk about the things you've gained. Seek out those on the edges of this community and ask about what they are longing for. How can you draw the circle wider and be made new by all the differences our differences make? This sort of transformation is a tall order. It's not easy. It's not comfortable. And in order to heal our world and ourselves, it's necessary. I firmly believe that this is the place where we can practice this. Because radical welcome is a spiritual practice. So thank you for joining me in this practice. Because it is truly one of the most holy, heart-transforming, and world-changing things that we can do together. Amen. Ache, Aho, and Blessed Be.


Intelligence is not a fixed trait because anyone, regardless of age, background or disability can improve their cognitive capacity. The key for that to happen successfully is human mediation. This idea is based on the theory of Reuven Feuerstein, a psychologist who was working with children arriving as immigrants in Israel from North African communities in the 1950s. To determine their school placement, the children were subjected to a series of assessments, including IQ tests. During the assessments, Feuerstein noticed that while some children learned a new task very easily, others didn't. Under closer examination, he realized that the first group was raised in environments that favored the transmission of local culture from generation to generation. In other words, their minds had received an adequate amount of mediated learning experience. The second group was deprived of their original culture and didn't experience such natural learning. Feuerstein then developed his method and began to distinguish two types of learning, direct and indirect. Children who only experience direct learning may never reach their full potential. Kids who also learn indirectly can. To help the children who are deprived of indirect learning experiences, mediation comes in. The mediator curates the learning journey, selects meaningful materials, sparks the child's curiosity and provides comfort and feedback. Gradually, the child then internalizes this guided experience and becomes capable of self-mediation that enhances the direct learning. In other terms, mediation strengthens the cognitive modifiability and as a result, the child will learn more effectively, which is the essence of intelligence. Based on these findings, Feuerstein developed a dynamic assessment of our cognitive process and a program of cognitive intervention. The dynamic assessment focuses on measuring someone's learning potential based on the progress they have made as a result of mediation. The cognitive intervention program provides children and adults with books, tools and materials that enhance their problem-solving skills. This method is also known as instrumental enrichment. Feuerstein continued to work with hundreds of children and was able to document dramatic improvements in the ability among those who received intensive mediation of cognitive strategies. Even children who were considered unteachable eventually made it to mainstream schools or universities. Today, tens of thousands have been taught using Reuben Feuerstein's methods. For educators, he left the following advice. If you are not prepared to look at your people's strengths, don't touch their weaknesses. What are your thoughts? Do you agree that anyone can increase their intelligence and become a better learner?

Hi, my name is Leigh Deforth and I am the city's comprehensive planner and I wanted to talk to you a little bit about the Walk Friendly Communities designation that we just received from the Walk Friendly Community Program. This designation is something that we're pretty excited about. We were the first community in South Carolina in 2015 to receive this designation and we continue to be the only community in South Carolina. And we have been designated at a Bronze level and there are a number of reasons that the city is designated as a Walk Friendly Community. And we're not alone in this regard. The program is 11 years old and has recognized 78 cities across 32 states. And what it does much like the Bike Friendly Community designation is it asks us to dig into our data, to dig into how many people are using walking as a native travel. And certainly with a number of universities in our community, we have a number of university students that are walking as their primary native travel and a number of folks living downtown who are doing so as well. And we also dig into data on accidents, injuries on the amount of facilities that we have, so our sidewalk network, some of the improvements that have been made over the years. And so with this past designation in 2015, since then we've seen a number of improvements. One that comes to mind for me is the Vista Greenway has opened that extension through Family Park to the back of the Elmwood Bridge there. So there are some great opportunities to walk in your city and even though May is like month, we think that we should be celebrating this designation as well because whether you're biking, riding transit, whether you're getting in and out of your car, you are a pedestrian at some point. And so we want to make sure that our city is as pedestrian friendly as possible. We hope you will join us in the celebration. If you have questions about the Walk Friendly Communities program, you can go to walkfriendly.org. Or if you're just interested in what the city is doing for walking and biking, visit our website at ColumbiaCompass.org. And you can find out more and you're the Walk Bike with Columbia tab. So we encourage you to get involved, stay involved and just celebrate walking in your city with this beautiful weather we're having in May.
