In top news, 00:05:41.649 --> 00:05:44.189 in a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have 00:05:44.189 --> 00:05:47.170 revealed that a small cluster of neurons, known 00:05:47.170 --> 00:05:50.290 as the locus coeruleus, controls our thinking 00:05:50.290 --> 00:05:54.110 modes. This blue dot, just a few millimeters 00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:58.110 in size, influences learning, creativity, focus, 00:05:58.269 --> 00:06:01.910 and alertness. By understanding how to shift 00:06:01.910 --> 00:06:05.029 gears, individuals can enhance their cognitive 00:06:05.029 --> 00:06:09.290 performance. The Locus Corullus has four activity 00:06:09.290 --> 00:06:13.009 modes, from sleep to high arousal, affecting 00:06:13.009 --> 00:06:16.629 our mental state. Techniques such as meditation, 00:06:17.310 --> 00:06:20.410 physical exercise, and task management can help 00:06:20.410 --> 00:06:24.540 optimize its function. Ultimately, self -awareness 00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:27.300 of this brain mechanism may lead to improved 00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:32.379 mental well -being and productivity. In business 00:06:32.379 --> 00:06:37.199 news, Connecticut's Ray Dalio believes that income 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.399 inequality may be leading the United States toward 00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.560 autocracy. Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.000 was the richest person in Connecticut in 2023. 00:06:49.769 --> 00:06:53.350 He stated that wealth disparity leads to polarization, 00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:56.730 which can result in autocratic leadership, calling 00:06:56.730 --> 00:07:01.490 it a classic part of the debt cycle. Dalio expressed 00:07:01.490 --> 00:07:03.810 concern that the increased wealth and values 00:07:03.810 --> 00:07:07.529 gaps lead to populism and irreconcilable differences. 00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:11.410 He compared current socioeconomics to the extreme 00:07:11.410 --> 00:07:14.850 gaps seen before, during, and after World War 00:07:14.850 --> 00:07:18.779 II. Dalio sold his remaining stake in Bridgewater 00:07:18.779 --> 00:07:21.800 earlier this year, marking a retirement process. 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.660 He also criticized former President Donald Trump's 00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:28.339 influence on the Federal Reserve's decision -making 00:07:28.339 --> 00:07:33.459 process. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged 00:07:33.459 --> 00:07:40.199 at about $111 ,000. Ethereum is down 0 .5 % to 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:47.529 just over $4 ,300. And SRP is up 1%. to $2 .83. 00:07:49.209 --> 00:07:53.509 Moving on to a more local vibe.

Wyoming has 00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:43.340 chosen Amazon's Project Kuiper over Starlink 00:08:43.340 --> 00:08:46.299 for broadband expansion following Colorado's 00:08:46.299 --> 00:08:49.259 lead and utilizing the state's broadband equity, 00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:53.240 access, and deployment program.

However, it remains 00:09:19.580 --> 00:09:22.299 unclear when Project Kuiper will launch or the 00:09:22.299 --> 00:09:31.090 pricing for the service. Dwayne Johnson is generating 00:09:31.090 --> 00:09:34.450 Oscar buzz following a powerful performance in 00:09:34.450 --> 00:09:37.409 The Smashing Machine at the Venice Film Festival. 00:09:38.610 --> 00:09:41.590 The audience erupted into a 15 -minute standing 00:09:41.590 --> 00:09:45.210 ovation, leaving the 53 -year -old actor in tears. 00:09:46.269 --> 00:09:49.049 Johnson portrays wrestler Mark Kerr alongside 00:09:49.049 --> 00:09:52.889 Emily Blunt, who plays Kerr's girlfriend. The 00:09:52.889 --> 00:09:55.509 film's director, Benny Safdie, joined in the 00:09:55.509 --> 00:09:58.649 emotional moment. as Kerr himself was moved during 00:09:58.649 --> 00:10:02.049 the credits.
