Nice Video. I’ve been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market. i was at a seminar and the host spoke about making over $972,000 within 3 Months with a capital of $200,000. i need to know how to go about it.

  i agree, no doubt NICK DRANCHAK has really made a good name for himself. His reviews are so exceptional, he’s really a Pro. I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again

  @Jane Foster there’s a lot of money to be made in crypto. I feel this new interest rates hikes could crash this economy. I’m looking out for a better investing strategy, I have a lump sum that inflation is steady eating up. Please do you mind sharing any means of reaching out to him easily? I’m really interested

  My portfolio is very much diversified. I did it using copy trading system from a US regulated broker ” Adviser NICK DRANCHAK ” it’s been a huge relief. Good earnings and little to no engagement at all on my part. His stock picks are outstanding. I can tell you he’s quite the genius in trading and portfolio diversification.

Her message on faith & the importance of life was well put. Her message on being grounded in reality & mediating is good as well. It doesnt mean that we throw out everything to chase 1 persons dream. It may only be true that a sliver of their dream is practical when considering everyone elses dreams.

Like all good TED Talks, this gave me pause and several things to think about. Will have to watch a few more times.

Some initial thoughts: I have faced the conundrum of feeling the temptation to “ape” traditional demonstrations of authority and leadership in order to be persuasive and effective. As a member of the “traditional power holder” gender and race, the temptation is always there. But that is not the leader I wanted to be.

There are elements of that traditional leadership model that I aspire to (protect your team and be the one that suffers the most when things are hard) but there are also elements that are missing from that traditional model that I think should be there. And they are part of the type of leader I try to be, such as having a nurturing spirit.

CYBER TECH TV

Each year, around two million women are released from prisons and jails in the US, many with nowhere to go. Susan Burton knows this firsthand: after cycling in and out of prison for years, she finally found a safe place to land … and made it her mission to offer others the same. She shares how she’s helping thousands rebuild their lives — and changing the way we think about second chances. (Recorded at TED2026 on April 15, 2026)

This new way of treating depression starts with rewiring the brain #TEDTalks

The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.

How to Make Learning Impossibly Fun | Mark Rober | TED

Published

September 6, 2026

CYBER TECH TV

What if science class felt less like studying out of a textbook and more like an unforgettable field trip? From viral glitter-bomb traps to backyard engineering marvels, former-NASA-engineer-turned-YouTuber Mark Rober has spent years proving that curiosity is contagious — and that the best way to teach science is to make it impossibly fun. In conversation with TED’s Whitney Pennington Rodgers, Rober shares how play, wonder and a healthy dose of mischief can transform the way kids learn … and gives a peek inside his plan to bring magic to every classroom in America. (This conversation was part of an exclusive TED Membership event. TED Membership is the best way to support and engage with the big ideas you love from TED. To learn more, visit ted.com/membership.)
