Thanks ingot :)

 

Sometimes I don't watch these things because I think that I don't have the time to sit down for 10 or 20 minutes to watch them through. But often they give a perspective on life and what we're doing. Whenever I do go exploring these videos, I tend to find that I am glad that I have.

 

Thanks again for starting the thread and for taking the time to post them.

 

Cheers,

 

Perrin

If you have 15 minutes today to enrich your life ... this is probably a good place to use that 15 minutes.

 

As it goes further, it gets better, but the finale is amazing.

 

Enjoy ...

This won't enrich your life, but it looks like fun. I stumbled across this while looking for something else... such is the joy of the internet.

 

This a shotgun for killing bugs... uses normal table salt. I tried to capture the video from their web site, but couldn't do it. There are videos on youtube also. Key search string: "bug-a-salt"

A nice antidote to the doom-and-gloomers.

 

Thank you.

From the fun ... to the important and the serious.

 

In my quest to leave this world in a far better state than I found it (but not going anywhere soon :) )

I invite you to first of all view the trailer of this movie.

 

If you already know what this is about, but have not had an opportunity to view the full movie, please set aside

an easy 2 hours, and watch ... listen ...hear ... and resolve to act in whatever way you can.

 

I do not regret giving up 2 hours to hear probably the most important message to meet my ears in 60+ years!

 

The Movie - An unconventional documentary that lifts

the veil on what's REALLY going on in our world by following the money upstream -- uncovering the global

consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives. | Thrive

This lobbed into my Gmail box from Google:

 

Yonatan Zunger - who works at Google said :

 

"I have no idea why I find this clip so amusing, but I do.

Some students figured out how to have a staged rendition

of silent monks singing the Halleluia chorus from

Handel's Messiah. I particularly like the short one

on the far right."

 

It took me awhile, but I finally cracked and had to laugh at the antics!

 

Note the two hidden "monks" at positions #1 and #3 on the left :)

Just spent an amazing 12 minutes looking at "The Holtermann Collection" on the Australian ABC website.

 

It is extraordinary - not only for its revelation of early Australiana - historical documentation of life in the Australian Goldfields from 1862 to 1872+ ... it is extraordinary in that it has only now come to light after so many years in a back yard shed!

 

The Holtermann Collection consists of hundreds of glass photographic negatives that do not pixelate on magnification (ie a "zoom-in" view). Further, these glass negatives are virtually indestructible ... they will last for a very long time into the future.

 

Treat yourself to a journey back in time ... about 150 years back ... at the birth of a nation.

Enjoy!

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
