My advice for you, when the market is slow, when your edge is not there, when the opportunity is not there, that's not your reason to deviate from the process. So every single trader has to have a strategy, right? Every single trader has to have something called an edge. And if your edge is not there, if your strategy is not there, if it's not showing up, that doesn't mean that you should be sizing up to compensate. While the market's been slow, I've been trying to remind everyone that this is not your opportunity to size up larger, to make up for the difference because the market is slower. This is now your opportunity to become a banking expert and a banking genius, knowing when these bank stocks are gonna bounce. This is your opportunity to double down on what you do right, which is waiting for the right opportunities, waiting for the right stocks, not over sizing, not over trading and sticking to the process.


Welcome back to another one. If you're new to the channel, I'm Gold Tony. I do new car truck SUV reviews on YouTube and today we are in the new 2021 Chevy Tahoe courtesy of Apple Chevrolet in York PA. For more information on their inventory, please feel free to check out the link in the description box below. So I wanted to hop in this one today of course because it's been completely redesigned for 2021 on the inside and out completely new look to this one. And actually it's the first time ever the Tahoe has ever gotten an independent rear suspension, which is a benefit. I'll go over all that in this video along with everything else of course. And of course it's larger and more practical. I feel like I can go on and on. But what do you say? Let's just go ahead and jump right into it. And as always, let's start with pricing. And so there of course are several different trim levels for the 2021 Tahoe and some of them aren't actually out yet. But for the ones that are currently out there is the LT, which actually is the one we have today, starting at $55,095. Z71 starting at $60,495. Premier starting at $63,895. And the High Country starting at $70,895. And so with all of those trim levels, with the exception of the Z71, power is going to be sent to the rear wheels. If you wanted to go with the four-wheel drive system for either of those three, simply add $3,000 to any of those prices. But like I said, Z71 does come with four-wheel drive. But then there is still the LS and the RST trim level that is yet to come. So no pricing has been announced for those two trim levels quite yet. But so then as you can imagine with all of those different trim levels, there are a couple different engine setups for the new Tahoe as well. First one being a 5.3 liter direct injected V8 belonging to the LT that we have today, the Z71 and the Premier trim levels. This one puts out 355 horsepower at 5,600 RPM, 383 pound-feet of torque available at 4,100 RPM, power sent to rear wheels or all wheels through a 10-speed automatic, giving you MPG numbers coming in at 16 in the city, 20 on the highway for the rear-wheel drive configuration, 15 city, 19 on the highway for the four-wheel drive configuration there. And by the way, the fuel requirement for that particular engine setup is actually regular, unleaded fuel, believe it or not. So then the next engine configuration is going to be a 6.2 liter direct injected V8, this one belonging to the high country trim level. And so this particular engine setup puts out 420 horsepower at 5,600 RPM, 460 pound-feet of torque available at 4,100 RPM, once again sent to rear wheels or all wheels through a 10-speed automatic, giving you MPG numbers 15 in the city, 20 on the highway for the rear-wheel drive, 14 city, 19 on the highway for the four-wheel drive configuration. And with this particular engine setup, premium unleaded fuel is required. So that's going to be one of the differences, of course, between the two engine configurations there. And there's actually one more that is going to be available. It's not quite there yet at the time of this video, at least, which is going to be a 3.0 liter Duramax turbo diesel, 277 horsepower, 460 pound-feet of torque for that one. But that one's actually going to be an option. It's going to be available on the LS LT RST Premier and a high country, essentially all trim levels, but the Z71, really. But so that before we do any kind of acceleration test in the new Tahoe, as I mentioned, there are some drive modes, of course, available. These drive modes will include normal, sport, off-road and tow and haul mode, adjusting things like the shift points, throttle response, steering sensitivity, and actually the suspension settings in some particular circumstances. So that's pretty cool as well. I'll go over that in a little bit. But now, having mentioned all of that, what do you guys say? Let's go ahead and try to find a straightaway here. And let's do a quick little acceleration. Keep in mind, we do have the 5.3 liter Direct Injected V8. And let's see how quickly we can get this new Tahoe here up to speed. All right, bit of a rolling start here. Here we go. There it is. All right, bit of a slow start, but that once it kicks in, it's a pretty decent acceleration. And of course, you do have the 6.2 liter on the high country as well, if you did want a bit more acceleration, but that's certainly not going to have any issues emerging onto the highway or anything like that. It's not the quickest thing in the world because this is a mammoth of an SUV, but still, having a V8 is definitely necessary. And it does the trick for this new Tahoe here. But so anyways, to go along with that acceleration, as always, braking is equally important. And so you will, of course, find four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes on the 2021 Tahoe. And as far as that braking feel goes, it's a little bit better maybe than the last generation. I always remember driving the Tahoe in suburban, the last generation. It had a very soft braking feel, and that definitely still exists here in the new 2021 Tahoe. Maybe it's because it's such a large SUV, but it is a very soft braking feel, meaning I feel like you got to press it down a little bit more than some of the other vehicles out there in order to get this beast to stop. So I did want to mention that. As far as suspension and handling goes, up front you will get an independent front suspension. In the back, and this is really the biggest change in my opinion for 2021 Tahoe, independent multi-link rear suspension. And so the previous generation Tahoe had a solid rear axle. And of course, when you switch it up and go to the independent multi-link rear suspension, that not only is going to give you better handling, but it is going to give you a smoother ride as well. So I'm super happy that Chevy went with the independent rear suspension on this new Tahoe. But they didn't stop there, actually. There is an optional magnetic ride control suspension. So what that does is it monitors each shock absorber individually, not only soaking up the roads in perfections, but also tightening up the suspension during heavy cornering, giving you better handling as well. So that is definitely a suspension I always like to recommend. And again, that is optional for the new 2021 Tahoe. But once again, Chevy went above and beyond even at that, offering an air suspension for this new Tahoe as well. And that is something you typically see on BMW, on Mercedes-Benz, manufacturers like that. So I love that it's there on the Tahoe now. And when you add those two options, of course, you're going to get an incredibly smooth ride, the very smoothest ride you could possibly get really. And with that air suspension, it actually allows movement up to four inches. So that's a pretty decent amount for an air suspension as well. So then ultimately, when you put all of that together, when it comes to ride quality, I do notice a difference between this generation and the last one. I'll start by saying that it's definitely a smoother ride. And that is due in part because of the independent rear suspension. But having said that, I do have the L teacher level today. So I don't even have the magnetic ride control. And I don't have the air suspension either. And still it is a very comfortable ride. So I'll give Chevy that does have a very nice ride quality to it. As far as the steering feel goes, it's pretty much as expected. It's right on point. I certainly don't have any issues with the steering feel, not the heaviest in the world, but definitely not on the loose side either. It's quite honestly just perfect for the Tahoe. As far as cabin noise goes, that's pretty darn good as well. I got to say it's a lot quieter than a lot of the three row SUVs I test out. So love the cabin noise or lack thereof, I should say. And when it comes to visibility, it's all right. If you have third row passengers and this third row headrests are up, dang, they are beefy. They essentially go all the way up to the roof really. So I was going to hinder visibility ever so slightly. Let's say that. But if the third row was not in use, you can always just fold that down. And those third row headrests are going to be out of the way. The second row headrests are perfectly fine. I don't have any issues there. But the third row headrests, they're ma'am and they go right up to the ceiling. So they're going to hinder visibility ever so slightly there. Rain-sensing windshield wipers, though, come standard across the board every single trim level. So absolutely love that. Essentially what that is is when the Tahoe detects any kind of mist or rainfall, it is going to turn on those windshield wipers automatically. So it's just one last thing you got to worry about there. Kind of like automatic headlights. Also, a head-up display is going to come standard on the high country. It is going to be optional for the Premier. And that is going to project your speed, speed limit, safety information up on the windshield. Better helping you keep your eyes on the road a little better. And one of the best things about visibility, though, on this one, the hood creases. I do not remember seeing that in the previous generation. The hood is definitely redesigned here on the new 2021 Tahoe. And it is further better. I just like that. It looks cool up there. But having mentioned that, that is about it for the performance segment of this review. You guys, let's now go ahead and take a look at the exterior of this brand new redesigned 2021 Chevy Tahoe. All right. So now here she is, you guys, the new 2021 Chevy Tahoe completely redesigned for the 2021 model year, of course. And it looks strikingly similar to the new Silverado as well. I think we all can see that a little bit. Ground clearance. I wanted to start with that. It is going to range dependent upon what suspension setup that you go with. Standard configuration is eight inches of ground clearance up front. However, if you were to go with the air suspension for the Tahoe, that does bump that up to a maximum of 10 inches of ground clearance in case anybody was curious there. But go ahead and take a look at the headlights. LED headlights do come standard across the board for every single trim level. Of course, they do come with the automatic feature as well, meaning when it starts to get dark out at night, they will turn on automatically for you there. LED daytime running lights also coming with that as well. When it comes to that front grille, of course, it is going to differ dependent upon the trim level that you go with. For example, if you go with, let's say, the high country, you're going to get a lot more chrome up there, along with the gold boat's high emblem.  So kind of the off-road package, if you will, for that one. But making our way now to the side, rear privacy glass does come standard across the board. Black assist steps also standard across the board. And that's something that's kind of needed on the Tahoe. I will say that Tahoe does sit up pretty high. So side steps definitely come in handy, even for me, I got to be honest. But roof rails coming standard across the board as well. Body colored door handles coming standard, along with body colored power adjustable side mirrors and heated side mirrors as well, also coming standard. Didn't want to mention though, you will actually get auto dimming side mirrors. That's a feature you don't usually see that often, quite honestly, but that's going to come on the premiere and high country trim levels only in case you wanted that. Tahoe lettering can be found on the front doors, of course, in typical Chevy fashion there. Chrome belt line molding for all trims, but the Z71, because of course that Z71 is going to give you black belt line molding, as expected there. Then take a look down at the wheel setup, 18 inch aluminum alloys with the LT trim level. However, I will say we do have an optional wheel setup here today, so you are actually looking at 20 inch alloys. But nonetheless, Z71 does bump that up to 20 inch machined aluminum alloys. Premier trim level gives you 20 inch polished aluminum alloys. And of course the high country bumps that up once again to 22 inch sterling silver painted alloys. So plenty of wheel options, even at that, there's still plenty of wheel options available for each trim level, not even including the ones I just named. So really when it comes to the wheel setup you have plenty of options there. But now making our way to the back of the Tahoe rear spoiler with an integrated brake light coming standard. The cool thing about the Tahoe and Suburban, something that they've always done is they tuck that rear window wiper up under the rear spoiler. So always like that setup, it kind of assists with visibility as well. You don't have to look around the rear window wiper when you're looking out the back. So that's pretty cool, but that's going to be back there too. Tahoe lettering spelled out horizontally on the rear lift gate there. Black bow tie emblem of course on the Z71 trim level only. Otherwise you're going to have that gold emblem back there. LED tail lights actually coming standard across the board. That's a big one for the Tahoe. And just below it all a single exhaust outlet with the LT and the Z71 trim levels. However, very cool exhaust setup for the Premier and High Country. You're going to get a dual exhaust with quad tips, but of course it's not the one we have today. So you guys know what we have to do next, as always here is that exhaust clip. And so now since we are around back when it comes to opening that rear lift gate it is a power rear lift gate for all trim levels. You of course can open it up a few different ways. There is the button on the key fob of course. Also a button on the lift gate itself. And actually it is a hands free power lift gate as well for all trim levels. So even if your hands are full that is going to open up and you get close enough there. But once opened up cargo capacity comes in at 25.5 cubic feet behind that third row. And I will say if that was not enough space of course that third row does fold down. And by the way very easy to fold down that third row especially on the LT trim level that we have today. We'll say that third row is power folding for the premier and high country. But honestly you really don't need it. It was super simple to fold down there. But nonetheless once folded down cargo capacity bumps up to 72.6 cubic feet behind that second row.  This is substantial. Reason being is that the 2020 Tahoe only came in 94.7 cubic feet with all rows folded. So very substantial bit more than the previous generation Tahoe. So that's very impressive quite honestly. And really enough for you to sleep in for reference. I mean even six feet tall. So even I was able to fit back there. So you could definitely actually sleep in the Tahoe. That's pretty cool. In-floor storage also coming standard across the board. It wasn't very deep but it is still in-floor storage there for you. Tie-down anchors can also be found in that cargo area. There's also an outlet so you can charge up your tools back there if you wanted to. There's some grocery hooks back in that cargo area as well. So really everything you could possibly want. But so then making our way up to the rear seats. Rear legroom for that third row comes in at 34.9 inches. So for reference I mean even six feet tall. And let me tell you guys I could actually fit even without moving up the second row. Which by the way you can move up that second row if you did have third row passengers to make it even more. So that's pretty cool. But I do want to mention in addition to that rear ventilation does come standard on the roof of the Tahoe. That comes for all three rows of course. You will find some cupholders in that third row. There's also some seat belt holders back there. If the seats were not in use to kind of tuck those seat belts away. I found that pretty convenient. And let me tell you guys it was pretty darn easy to get into that third row. That second row seating folds up so incredibly easy. There's almost no lifting whatsoever. It's like on a hydraulic system. So very easy to get in the third row. But speaking of that second row. Second row legroom comes in at 42 inches. Even again for reference. I mean even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. Again with the ventilation tri-zone climate control actually comes standard on the Tahoe. So the rear passengers can set their own temperatures if they wanted to. Heated second row seats come standard on the premier and high country. And they are actually optional on the Z71 and LT trims if you wanted them. You do have some phone charging ports back there. Once again also an outlet to charge up some tools if you wanted to. LED interior lighting. I love that. That also comes standard across the board. So much better than halogen lighting. So I love that the LEDs are there. Rear seat media package is available. That's where you're going to have those tablet style screens affixiated on the back of the front seats there. Love that there was grab handles to get into that second and third rows. Because like I said the Tahoe does sit up a little bit higher than most other SUVs out there. But overall seating was plenty comfortable for me. But now making your way up to the front seats. Leather surfaces do come standard across the board every single trim level there. Also heated front seats for all trim levels. Heated and ventilated seats come with the premier and high country. Ten-way powered driver seat and passenger seat comes with the LT and Z71. Love that. However, 12-way power adjustable front seats come with the premier and high country. And once again, seating was plenty comfortable for me up there. Then take a look at the steering wheel. It is tilt and telescoping. It is leather wrapped across the board. Power adjustable for the premier and high country trim levels. Then make our way to the startup. Let me first start by showing you guys the key here. You do have your Chevy logo on the one side end. When you flip it over lock, unlock the button to pop the rear hatch. And of course the circular button is actually your remote start which comes standard across the board. Love that. But if you didn't want to use that of course it does come with a push button start as well. So all I'm going to do is simply put my foot on the brake and press that engine start button located just by the driver's right knee there. And so but then once started up, tachometer is all the way to your left speedometer as on your right. Fuel information and some temperatures are going to be found up top. There is a small digital display front and center towards the bottom there. To control what is on that digital display there are steering wheel mounted controls. But to elaborate on what is on that digital display there's things like how many miles you have left until you hit empty. There's your oil life remaining and it gives you a percentage read out of that. There's tire pressure for each individual tire. Some safety information. There's a digital speedometer you could choose to display up there if you wanted to really everything you would possibly need quite honestly. Then touching on overall interior quality panoramic power sunroof is going to be optional for all trim levels. However it does not come standard on any particular trim level. Universal home remote all trim levels come standard with that. That's pretty cool. That's the buttons for your garage door opener shop the three different garage doors. Wireless phone charger coming standard for all trim levels as well. And so at this point in a lot of videos I mentioned an overhead sunglass holder but in the new Tahoe this is so much cooler. So just to the left upper left I would say I guess of the passenger side glove box there is a secret compartment where you put your sunglasses or really probably anything but it's kind of a secret compartment just to the right of the navigation screen there where you're going to put your sunglasses. That is pretty cool. I absolutely love that. I love secret compartments and this is one of those. So I did want to mention that. Also another thing I don't think I mentioned yet to actually put the new Tahoe in drive or reverse or neutral or whatever there's actually buttons located to the left of the infotainment screen. So rather than any kind of traditional shifter you simply just either pull back on the reverse or drive buttons or press in the park button. So it's a little bit different than a lot of other vehicles out there. So didn't want to mention that to you guys as well. But see yet another thing I kind of liked is just on both sides of the center console there there was a little extra storage. You usually don't find that in SUVs. So that was pretty cool. Also just underneath the climate control buttons there is a 12 volt power outlet USB charging port a phone charging port and of course your wireless phone charger as well. Just behind that you will find dual cup holders and just behind that of course your center armrest with yet another USB charging port phone charging port and there is a removable tray within that center armrest as well and very deep storage area. So absolute ton of space within that center armrest. They would also mention on the doors there's three different compartments. Most SUVs come with an upper compartment and a lower compartment but the Tahoe actually has a center or middle compartment as well. So that was kind of unique too. But now let's go ahead and make our way to the tech display in the new Tahoe here. 10.2 inch colored touch screen display does come standard across the board every single trim level. Bluetooth and audio streaming coming standard wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay also standard across the board. So as of right now wireless Android Auto is something brand new so a lot of vehicles are just coming out with that for the 2021 model years. Previously of course you had to hook your phone up via USB cable constantly to the vehicle but I love that it's wireless now it's pretty convenient. Factory navigation system if you wanted it although you don't need it comes with the Premier and High Country trim levels. Climate control settings can be found up there radio information of course and the sound system is actually pretty darn good on the new Tahoe as well for example. Even the base LT trim level in the Z71 come with a Bose 9 speaker sound system. However if you were to go with the Premier High Country that just bumps that up to a Bose 10 speaker sound system. So having said that I love that it's by Bose and I do believe you guys know what we have to do next. Let's go ahead and turn on the radio see what we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. And so but then last thing I wanted to mention to you guys on that tech display is when you do put the new Tahoe in reverse you will find a rear view camera across the board however if you were to go with the High Country you will find a surround view monitor as well letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead us into safety. And so to start front side side curtain airbags do come standard in the back you're going to have latch aka lower anchors and tethers to children for the rear car seats. Rear child door locks back there attire pressure monitoring system hill start assist but also some of the advanced safety features that come standard across the board. Automatic emergency braking following distance indicator forward collision alert front pedestrian braking and rear parking sensors as well. And then if you were to go with the Premier High Country trim levels that is also going to add lane departure alert with side blind zone alert lane keep assist with lane departure warning and front and rear parking sensors as well. So all in all when it comes to my final thoughts of the 2021 Tahoe the LT trim level that I had today actually is a pretty darn good value considering the new larger size of the Tahoe and what you're actually getting also on the Tahoe. So honestly LT trim level is kind of in my mind at least where it's at. Of course if you wanted to upgrade there's no problems there. Of course you can get plenty more but really the LT trim level gives you a good bit on this one. Wireless Android Auto Apple CarPlay also is an amazing thing. Very good road trip vehicle again mostly because of its size but really three rows comfortably on this one. So that's pretty darn cool. As far as constructive criticism goes because I of course always have some. The braking feel is of course a little bit too soft for me still. It has been in previous generations that didn't unfortunately get changed for this one. So it is still a very soft braking feel. Blind spot monitoring system should kind of come standard on this one if you're asking me because it is a larger vehicle. So that is one advanced safety feature I would have loved to have seen come standard on the new Tahoe as it does on a lot of other three row SUVs. So that would have been pretty cool but all in all again it comes back to being a very solid value at this price point even for the size of the Tahoe and what it is. So actually a very big fan on the new Tahoe here but let me know what you guys think of the new Tahoe in the comment section below. And so but that is about it for this one you guys.

I think it's helpful to view people like medicine.   So you have to control people like that, a dosage of medicine, and you can't afford to OD on certain kinds of energies in your life.


Debo Samuel deal also not getting talked about much at all now I was wrong like I have been on numerous occasions I assumed the Jimmy G thing was gonna have to happen before Debo Samuel deal so Debo Samuel after a Tumultuous offseason on whether or not he'd have a deal or not have a deal Sheina quick last week reported that she's hearing a Debo Samuel deal would be done by the end of the weekend 70 million issues what she was predicting that she's pretty close Ended up being like 73 5 are 71 5 5 with the 73 5 max 58.1 million guaranteed 51 million of that being guaranteed like two days from now and then another 7 million being guaranteed next April 1st 2023 as roster bonuses He has incentives in there for every single game. There's $650,000 incentives in there that I would assume are for like Pro Bowl or for Super Bowl or for playoffs or some sort


Hello and welcome to Newsclick. Today we have with us Prof. Prabhat Patnaik and we'll be discussing the state of the Indian economy, particularly as we are now in the run-up to the state of the economy document itself, which the government, civil government presents, and of course the budget. Prabhat, looking at the last two, two and a half years, and I think that's really the crux of what's been happening, we have seen a sharp drop, dip in the economy, particularly because of the pandemic, but we have little, some rise and again we have again a situation where again the pandemic is here and the Omicron has taken its toll on the economy. So looking at all of this, how do we look at the impact it has had, particularly on the working people, because it also seems to have had a very differential impact. We have had really rise of the stocks, we have had rise of the big capital in the country, their wealth seems to have grown and also we have a number of what are called unicorns, we have apparently got a huge amount of money from the stock market or the capital market, something like 24 billion dollars. So how do you see this level of growth of the rich as opposed to the drop in the income of the poor? You see even before the Omicron crisis hit us, there is no doubt that the recovery that was occurring in the economy was completely stunted. As a matter of fact, some people talk about a K-shaped recovery, which basically means that you come up to a certain level, then you go down again. And the reason for that is very clear, namely that during the pandemic, large numbers of households, particularly working people households, they got into debt. They got into debt because they were left without any income, they were left without any accommodation and so on. So to maintain their existence itself, they had to borrow. Now when you do that, then when you do get some income, then your priority is to pay off your loans. As a result, the multiplier impact of whatever the government spends or whatever investment occurs in the economy is something that is incomplete. In other words, the multiplier impact itself is actually stunted. Now when that happens, then you do have a certain amount of investment, but consumption does not come up, peri-pasu, exactly to a corresponding level. And when that happens, then investment itself tends to slow down. So you have this peculiar situation where in any case, even before the Omicron, this was clearly visible. People kept talking about how high the growth rate was, forgetting that it was high from a point where it already had gone down substantially. Even now, the most optimistic estimates, which of course now have all been scaled down because of the pandemic, the most optimistic estimates basically suggested that the economy would come up at the most to the same level where it was in 2019-20. It had gone down and now it's coming up. And the idea was that even if you take, for instance, the estimate which was made by the State Bank of India, that 9.5% growth rate in this year, 1921-22, it would have really more or less brought it up to the same level where it was in 2019-20. But now everybody is scaling it down even further. When you talk about the recovery not taking place and the K-shaped recovery, but it has affected the poor and the rich very differently. So you do see that, for instance, Mr Ambani's wealth has increased significantly. So have others who have gained even during the depression that we have had for the last two years. And you also see that, for instance, a huge amount of liquid money being really, what shall we say, grabbed or siphoned off or entering, what are called the unicorns, which are really taking advantage of the fact that you have a stay at home for a large number of people. You have edutech sectors, you have other sectors which are distributing goods or foodstuffs during the pandemic. So a lot of the fact that you have different kinds of lockdowns, we also have this effect that rich have actually, in terms got richer at the time, the poor have, the income of the poor have actually dropped. Absolutely, absolutely. Income as well as wealth of the rich has actually increased quite substantially during this pandemic, while the poor have actually become much worse off. And that is precisely what is going to affect the economy. Because if you look at the figures that, for instance, were made available about the previous quarter, you found that the consumption good sector was the one which really had not come up. Even when I said that it would have come up through the 2019-20 level, the consumption good sector would not have come up. In fact, these were basically carryover investment projects and consumption good sectors would not have come up precisely because the poor are the main consumers. They are the ones who actually buy the bulk of the consumer goods. Mr. Ambani or Adani's consumption is hardly something which is driving force from the economy. As a result, I mean, something which, by the way, the government does not understand, and the government has actually been pursuing a fiscal policy, which is quite perverse in handing over money to the Ambani's and the Adani's in the belief that that's going to stimulate the economy. The economy gets simulated only when there's purchasing power in the hands of the poor, and it is this which really has gone down. The role of the central government in terms of its own fiscal policy, where it's getting the money for the yearly expenditure it incurs, now that is we are seeing also the expense of the state governments because the large part of it seems to come from essentially stress, which is put on the oil sector, which doesn't get to the states because that's not redistributed in the way that other taxes are. So do you think there is also an element in this particular sets of policies that have taken advantage or during the pandemic to put the burden not only on the poor but also on the state governments? Absolutely. In fact, this burden is put into is one, as you mentioned, is the fact that those commodities from which the taxes are being raised by the central government are commodities whose revenue is not shareable with the states. The second is that even the due that should be made available to the states like GST compensation is just not being paid to the states because that was a promise which was made on the basis of which many of the state governments agreed to forego the taxes they were having earlier, which constitutionally had been given to them, but they decided to forego it on the presumption that five years they are going to be paid GST compensation, but the central government having got the states to agree to GST by making this promise now is reneging on this promise. So in both ways, by denying them resources which in any case should have come to them and what is more by using revenue sources which are not shareable, the central government is really squeezing the states. And additionally, you see what happens is that basically we are in the midst of an agrarian crisis where in the midst of course of an epidemic for both of which you find that the state governments are required at this very time to undertake larger expenditures because after all, if the pandemic has to be managed, the state governments have to spend more. If the agrarian crisis is to be managed, then of course the state government has to spend more. And precisely when the expenditure responsibilities of the state government are going up, they are being squeezed of resources is something which is hurting state government finances immensely. As you see, the center also has been pursuing a sort of perverse fiscal policy where what they do is that they have been giving tax concessions to the embodies and to the rich generally. What explains this perverse policy of this government? Do you think it's just an ignorance about the economic economics?  You know, the one obvious reason of course is a kind of cronyism. And the cronyism is fairly bloody minded when you're actually bent upon giving concessions to your cronies and making up for it by squeezing the poor. But bloody minded cronyism certainly is there. It's an important consideration perhaps in the government's mind, but the way they justify it generally to the public is that giving more money to the capitalists would enable them to invest more. Now, capitalists don't invest more if they have more money. They invest more if the demand is growing, if the market is growing, if there is no recession in the midst of a recession.  And this is why investment itself would be sustained precisely by doing all these things which are supposed to make them invest. So Prabhat, if you were in the government, you were an advisor, what would you have advised at this moment differently than what the government is doing? You know, the first thing I would suggest is either to have a wealth tax or to raise the corporate income tax to tax the capitalists. And this is all the capitalists themselves are saying, you know, at Davos, many of them actually said that you please tax us more and use it for education and health expenditure, which is required for the poor. Now that's a minimum which a government concerned about the economy, concerned about the people and the poor should be doing. And I think that it would be my starting point that either a wealth tax or a corporate tax hike is something which is essential to raise revenue. And then you use that revenue. Earlier we talked about transfers to the poor, but now one can even think of larger expenditure. We're talking about a budget, we're not talking about an immediate kind of relief measure. Spend more on education and health and things of that kind, where expenditure is a proportion of GDP. If anything has marginally gone down in the last few years, last couple of years, even earlier it was an abysmally low but constant level. And as a result, this is something which comes in the way of the constitutional obligation of the country to provide equality of opportunity.  So basically I would suggest that tax the rich and use the proceeds for spending on things like education, health and other such avenues. Prabha, thank you for being with us and we'll be in touch with you for more discussions, particularly as this is the budget season. Thank you very much.


The Cube presents On The Ground. Hello everyone, welcome to a special exclusive On The Ground here at Oracle's headquarters in Redwood City. This is The Cube, I'm John Furrier, the host of The Cube. I'm here with friend Jugain from Wendisco who has been a Cube alumni, I've been on many times. Great to see you here at Oracle. Welcome back. So Wendisco, you guys have a lot of success lately with the new business model, your OEM and your solution. Lot of traction with the success that you've had over the years. You've had an original distribution of it. You've seen everything. Yes. From the beginning. Give us an update on where you guys are here now and what the business model is for Wendisco. Thanks John. As you know, we're Wendisco, wide area network distributed computing. We do replication over the van. And the modern data center looks a lot like van links with cloud components and on-prem custom hardware such as Oracle BDA. In that world, the replication capabilities we bring are very important to customers. We are the only solution that does a Paxos based strongly consistent replication, which means zero RPO, zero RTO, great availability of data. If you want to take your enterprise grade applications to production, we are the only path to doing that. You know, we've always chatted when I see David, I say the same thing. It's like you guys have had such good success with the replications. It's all those things that's under the hood. You got to look under the hood. The engine of innovation coming from the Hadoop and now big data ecosystem is how do you make the data move around fast and how do you make it reliable? That enterprise grade Hadoop has always been a nut that no one could crack except for you guys. But take me through how it's playing out in today as the ecosystem of big data is going much further beyond Hadoop. Oracle's big data appliance, for instance, is in production. They have a lot more stuff coming out. It's just one of many connection points that big data is going to go into. What's the state of the union now relative to this new configuration? So what we're seeing is that Homebrew is out. It's engineered appliances. It's cloud solutions. And a plethora of these, it's not just one specific application like Hive. There are many legitimate choices for solving the problems. And the one underlying problem that remains is getting consistent data to all of these applications. That's where we step in. An analogous example would be to consider the cell phone market, right? 15 years ago, there were Nokia communicators with a primitive form of email, then BlackBerry's with email again. But now you see the Apple iPhones and the Android machines, the infrastructure that supports apps running on those is phenomenal. It took a lot of work and a huge amount of software to make that work. We feel that we play that sort of a role. In the Oracle BDA, the replication capabilities we bring extend the data center to beyond that single BDA to perhaps a cloud instance of a BDA, perhaps a cloud instance of another distribution. That sort of cross-platform replication is what's driving our success. The WAN and WAN disco wide area network we all know from the old days is essentially links between inter-office and or clouds. In this case, it's legitimately links between a data center and multiple cloud environments. So is that kind of the key to your success is to say, if you've got Oracle, big data appliance, BDA, and you're going to connect somewhere else, you're going to be that default tolerant ring? Exactly right. You got it exactly right. Often customers have interest in long-distance disaster recovery capabilities. They have some stuff they want to run up in the cloud. They want a whole lot of their regular compute on-prem. We solve all of these replication problems for them. So we've got to ask you a question. So most people will say, ah, a replication. We'll figure it out later. Is that the case or not? I mean, most people probably aren't saying that because of the recent you've seen everything from the New York floods back in the hurricane days and with all those kind of earthquakes going on these days. I mean, this is probably front and center. Or is it more of an afterthought? It is front and center. The folks that we sell to are folks, IT folks, right on the front lines. They understand the pain of not having applications available or the data availability. So they do understand the problems that we solve. And it's somewhat under the covers for end users of big data systems. But the IT staff that provide these data. And users should be transparent to them, right? Indeed. They don't even know. It's invisible. If it works, it works. Exactly. But IT, they have to have this into the architecture. Correct. That's where we get most of our traction. They look at it and go, this is a great way to solve the problem. You mentioned you're the only ones that do that. Competition, your field, you guys are well ahead of the competition? We are well ahead of the competition.  And that's where we have our magic sauce. And so no one has that? No one has that. That's unique to you guys. That is unique. How does that fit into the Oracle configuration now? That extend their solution out? Do they have it end to end? Is it mostly, how does it get out there? It's well integrated into the Oracle BDA. It extends the on-prem BDA to perhaps a cloud instance of the BDA, or another on-prem instance in a different location. We even have a number of customers with BDA side by side, and they're replicating across those. So what's the scenario then? And you guys think you're the best, and I believe you're worried we follow you guys. But let's just say, because I was like, hey, you know what? We're in disco. We're just going to go with Cloud Air or Hortonworks. So these guys have replication. Our startup just came out of a series A funding. They had this new replication thing. We're going to go with them. What's the impact of them? What are some of the risks associated with taking a chance on a non-proven replication? So the first thing that customers experience, the first problem, is that the data is not current, because all the solutions offered by the distro vendors are batched. They run once an hour, and then it takes too much CPU. So they run once four hours. Often you have to run it once a week when there's no load on the system. We offer continuous replication. Every change that's made in either of the systems, remember, both systems are active. That's the magic of our solution. The changes are coordinated and replicated. So that immediate availability and the zero RTO disaster recovery capabilities shines as the biggest feature for our customers. So what's the relationship with Oracle? A business deal? Is there engineering involved? Are you guys part of the solution? You guys sell together? Are they selling your stuff? Can you explain that? All of the above. There was some engineering involved, but all that's done. So far as the customers concerned, it's completely integrated, well-supported, and as any engineer appliance should offer, it's a single-point solution for the customer. So you bring your unique secret sauce and replication to the Oracle BDA, and does this extend to the Cloud Machine stuff? Yes, it extends to the Cloud Machines. It extends to distributions other than what you may be running on the BDA. It extends to Cloud Instances where the storage can be different. It's S3, for example, or an object store, such as the Swift one that other Cloud vendors are providing. We replicate across all of those very well. So again, thanks for spending some time here on the ground. We are here at the Oracle headquarters for a special CUBE exclusive on the ground coverage. I'm John Furrier. Thanks for watching.


What is up you guys welcome back to another one if you are new to the channel I am Gold Pony and today it has been a long day already woke up at the crack-a-dawn not even the crack-a-dawn 4 30 a.m. drove to Surveynes in New Jersey stopped there they took off the rear vallices and I told you guys about that before I actually just borrowed them they were a prototype they're going to now put them into production so I know everyone has been asking about them they are now fully going into production for all of you guys to purchase but that is not what this video is about today it has been officially one year since I've purchased stangosaurus at this point so feel free to put it in the comment section a little happy birthday for stangosaurus but today having said that I am here for my annual inspection that is one of those things we have to do here in Pennsylvania once a year we have to get the car inspected we basically find out how it's doing I guess and hopefully everything checks out okay but for that reason this video is going to be the one year review of my 2019 for Mustang GT I'm going to go over the exterior the interior the driving dynamics and also we're going to see how it does on inspection here and hopefully it passes and of course let you guys know if it needed anything after a year and 6,000 ish miles so and so what do you say let's actually start this video with the inspection portion it is sitting at Bob Ruth Ford to Dillsburg PA here ready to be taken back so let's go ahead and give them a little bit of time here and once the car comes back out I'll I'll let you know how it does all right you guys so inspection is done as expected after one year of ownership and 6,000 miles everything has come back squeaky clean not a single thing needs updated or replaced or fixed or anything like that so one year down perfect record now I got my inspection good for another year so until next year but let's go ahead and jump into the exterior portion of this review and so if you guys remember the one thing actually two things as far as fitment goes there was a little bit of a gap on this side of the headlight and honestly that kind of doesn't bother me anymore so not a big deal it's just from you know reviewing other cars a lot of other manufacturers don't have it but you really can't really notice it all that much I think that was just me being picky the one major thing was the hood the hood on this side actually didn't line up with the front part of the fender there but again that problem has been alleviated I do now have a serveniy hood anyways so that is kind of fixed that problem for me but talking to other Mustang owners most other Mustangs didn't have it I would probably say like maybe 10 to 20% of them did mine did so like I said that has been fixed now so not a big deal but other than that definitely love the look of the Mustang going around to the side a little bit one of the best parts about the Mustang comparatively speaking to like the Camaro and the Challenger is they actually Ford actually brings the back down whereas with the Challenger and Camaro they kind of like they leave it up a little bit so I like the old-school fastback type of design where they actually bring the back down a good bit so that's one of the main reasons I do like the design some people will say the side mirrors are a little bit small but then again I just got done driving five and a half hours this morning in Stegosaurus and I was perfectly fine actually do use there's a let me show you guys real quick there is actually a little blind spot mirror right up there I use that quite often so really there's no issues with the side mirrors at least in my opinion but making our way to the back of course I replaced my performance back level one rear spoiler with the Cervini but anyways this isn't a modification video this is just a stock Mustang video one thing I really do like are the LED sequential tail lights me show those to you guys real quick it kind of makes it look like the lights are sliding from one side to the other and just below it all there is a massive rear diffuser and 2018-2019 Mustang exhaust does come with quad tips although I did not go with the active exhaust system from the factory because I knew it was going to be modifying it anyways and that was one of the main reasons for that but speaking of let me touch on the specs the way I specced my car out was I did go with the 3-1A package primarily because I wanted the sync 3 system and the better sound system as well so that is definitely not been a regret I love that package also performance pack level one not for the wheel and tire combination because as you guys can see I swapped them out anyways but more so because I wanted the larger brake setup it does come with let me show you real quick does come with Brembo six piston front calipers and a larger rotor setup in the front in the back so that is one of the main reasons I went with the performance pack level one but and there's going to be some other stuff like a larger radiator a couple other suspension components but all in all definitely no regrets with the performance pack level one package either perhaps might only regret you guys here it is MagneRide damping suspension that is one thing I wish I would have gotten on this and of course I made it worse because I upsized the wheels to 20 inches and put some i-bok lowering springs so that didn't help the ride at all but with that MagneRide damping system it does really give you the best of both worlds it makes it a smoother ride because it monitors e-shock absorber individually does give you a smoother ride but it also firms up the suspension during heavy cornering as well so I do wish I would have gotten out just for the sake really of having a smoother ride so anyways that is my one regret and let's go ahead and make our way to the interior now real quick I'll give you what I like and dislike about the interior of the Mustang all right so first let me get this out of the way with some other muscle cars sometimes visibility is not going to be the best but with the Mustang it is perfectly fine visibility is great in the Mustang so please do not be worried about that that is my sync 3 system that I was previously telling you guys about that was the 301a package that came with and definitely one of my favorite parts just because you can like and dislike your Pandora songs you have free navigation through that as well and it's super easy to use still super responsive there's no delay to it sometimes with other manufacturers there can be a delay but so far so good as far as the sync 3 goes also like my little paddle shifters as well there I've used them plenty of times although if you put it in that sport plus driving mode you really don't need them anyways because that driving mode down shifts and up shifts absolutely perfectly also definitely a fan of the 10 speed automatic I was a little bit back and forth whether I wanted the 6 speed or the 10 speed but at the time the 6 speed was having a lot of shift fork issues I also if I wanted to go 6 speed I would have went with the Tremac rather than an MT82 but ultimately I am perfectly happy with the 10 speed automatic and by the way the 10 speed automatic is faster than the 6 speed anyways Ford says with that 10 speed automatic performance pack level 1 the Ford Mustang GT will do 60 in 3.9 seconds so although I haven't been able to replicate that yet my quickest has been 4.7 on the street though I'm sure they did it on a drag track but still definitely a beast of a car to drive but I will get into the performance of the little bit I'll give you guys an exhaust clip all that fun stuff as far as the seats go excuse all my stuff here seats are actually pretty darn comfortable I gotta admit like I said to you guys I took a 2 hour and 45 minute drive to New Jersey this morning and two and a half hour drive back and yeah I definitely had no issues with the seats being uncomfortable or anything like that so definitely no issues there either as far as the back seat goes I don't use it I don't think many people do use it there in a whole lot of space back there for a legroom but I will say I have folded it down plenty of times to put my dog back there or some car parts or whatever but all in all interior quality for me I gotta say is just fine the would have been kind of cool to have that digital dash as an option but I don't really mind this setup although the digital dash is a bit cooler but it is a bit more expensive as well and any you let me flip the camera around let's do a little driving segment and exhaust clip here one of the best parts about the Mustang alright so I guess it goes without saying when it comes to performance the acceleration is most definitely my favorite part about this car 460 horsepower again capable of 60 and 3.9 seconds sub four seconds here to 60 that's awesome and of course in that sport plus driving mode I got it in you guys hear those downshifts another one of the things I absolutely love about the Mustang coming up to a red light here braking is definitely on point I think it was in 2016 when I first drove the Mustang GT where I realized that the Brembo six-piston front calipers and the rotors and everything the whole braking setup was absolutely amazing I think it was then the 2016 model year I think it was that particular Mustang attest or if I told myself I'm going to get a Mustang at some point and here I am in 2019 three years later but still my point is braking is definitely equally impressive and although I'm just sitting here right now there is a selectable steering mode button just to the left of the drive mode button that actually gives you comfort normal and sport and I never take it out of that sport driving mode reason being is because it does provide a heavier weight to the steering wheel in my opinion it points you in the direction that you want to go a little bit better but if you weren't a fan of the heavier weighted steering wheel you do have that comfort steering mode as well so that's going to be there for you but the sport is definitely where it's at when it comes to the steering field but again is for his ride quality goes it could be better with the Magna ride dampening suspension as I was saying that is what I should have gone with but still I've been driving a heck of a lot this morning for hours it is kind of one of those things where it is as expected for car like this however you can get it better if you wanted it so that's all I'm saying if you got the money for it spend the extra two grand or whatever it is and go ahead and go with that Magna ride damping suspension because in my opinion I have driven mustangs with that as well and it is definitely worth it as far as ride quality goes at least and I'm sure for handling it's going to be the same thing as it claims to be so but so you guys I'm feeling adventurous today let's go ahead and put it in track mode another benefit to the Mustang and all mustangs actually even the EcoBoost mustangs it comes with something called track apps so track apps essentially tests your performance it gives you 0 to 60 60 to 0 quarter mile times it actually tracks all of that so that is how I was saying previously where the fastest time I have gone in the Mustang is 4.7 seconds that is because that is what track apps has told me when I put it to the test and so that I think is what we have to do next you guys let's do a quick little 0 to 60 run here see how quickly see if we can beat our 4.7 0 to 60 time because like I said for claims 3.9 seconds on the track we're not on a track so we're going to slip a little bit more than likely but let's see if we can at least be 4.7 you guys ready back out alright I actually tried it with the paddle shifters that time because I was told in the comment section previously that if you let the car shift it's actually going to shift a little bit sooner than it maybe should have so paddle shifters pulled us off in 4.8 that's that's actually pretty cool but soon now that we have done that you may have heard I did slide a little bit when I first hit the gas that is with me spinning and sliding we still hit 60 in 4.8 seconds you can imagine with the right conditions meaning at a drag strip perhaps we could possibly hit that 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds but on a street alright so last thing when it comes to performance I did want to do for you guys is the exhaust clip so let me go ahead and find my little park I always go to here let's do that exhaust clip and I will say again I don't have the stock exhaust on the car anymore it did sound good when I had it but what you will be hearing is the AWE touring cat-back exhaust system if you were interested but I always have to throw in an exhaust clip and all of my reviews so I have to do it sorry hey it's super that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching I do apologize for this video is probably a little shorter than it should have been for a review but I did kind of already review the car one so I'll put a link to that video at the end of this one so feel free to click that if you wanted the full review of it but this video is just simply after a year of ownership just wanted to touch on some of the key points some of my likes dislike so overall if you take away anything from this the car is insanely fun to drive I'm extremely happy that I got it no regrets with the purchase minus I wish I would have got that MagnaRide damping suspension but other than that I absolutely love the Mustang and a train's coming so I have to go but I do appreciate you guys watching feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen hit the subscribe button the bell notification button if you're in the new car reviews that is what we do here on this channel and I will see you guys in the next video stay gold


Hello, my name is Matt Clark, and I'm a Lieutenant in the Denver Police Department's Major Crimes Division. This critical incident debriefing is intended to provide you with information regarding an officer involved shooting that occurred at 1540 North Meade Street in Northwest Denver on September 12th, 2020. You are about to see relevant video footage and learn about other evidence and police procedures related to the case so you have an understanding of the details of this incident. The use of deadly force by a police officer demands a thorough investigation be completed. The Denver Police Department is committed to ensuring a full and timely investigation of these serious incidents. This allows for a comprehensive examination of the officer's actions to determine compliance with state statutes and department policies. In accordance with legislation passed in 2015, the investigation of police shootings in Denver are conducted by a multi-agency investigative team made up of members from the Denver and Aurora Police Department homicide units, as well as the Denver District Attorney's Office. All critical incident investigations are actively monitored by the Office of the Independent Monitor. A word of caution, the images and information you are about to see may be disturbing. When a police officer uses force to arrest a suspect or defend against an attack, it can be graphic and difficult to watch. In addition, there may be strong language used by those shown in the video. Viewer discretion is advised. On Saturday, September 12th, 2020, around 4.05 in the morning, Adams County Sheriff's Deputy Marcus Knight was in the area of the Circle K Convenience Store at 5810 North Broadway. At the time, Deputy Knight was in full uniform and was driving a Mark Sheriff's Department vehicle. Deputy Knight observed a white Ford Explorer with no license plates parked in the convenience store parking lot. He also observed a male who was later identified as 33-year-old Christopher Escobedo, sitting in the driver's seat of the vehicle. Based upon his experience, as well as his knowledge of the recent activity in the area, Deputy Knight suspected the vehicle may be stolen. As Deputy Knight continued watching the vehicle, a female exited the convenience store and entered the front passenger seat of the vehicle. Deputy Knight communicated his observations of the vehicle to Adams County Sheriff's Deputy Matthew Tran, who was nearby. The Ford Explorer was driven out of the parking lot and then southbound on Bannock Street from 58th Avenue. Deputy Tran was directly behind the vehicle as a continued southbound on Bannock Street. Deputy Tran, who was also driving a Mark Sheriff's Department vehicle, activated the emergency lights on his vehicle to initiate a traffic stop based upon the Ford Explorer having no visible license plates. Mr. Escobedo slowed the vehicle, but continued rolling southbound for nearly a quarter of a mile before stopping in the 5300 block of Bannock Street. Deputy Tran exited his vehicle and began approaching the Ford Explorer when Mr. Escobedo rapidly accelerated away, continuing southbound on Bannock Street. Deputy Knight was still in his vehicle and began pursuing the fleeing vehicle with his lights and siren activated. While in pursuit of the vehicle, Deputy Knight observed Mr. Escobedo present a handgun out the driver's door window. The gun was initially pointed in the air. Mr. Escobedo quickly pointed the firearm in the direction of Deputy Knight and fired the weapon twice. The vehicle pursuit continued for 14 minutes, with speeds reaching 90 miles per hour at times. During the pursuit, Mr. Escobedo fired his handgun at the pursuing deputies in the area of 48th Avenue and Fox Street, near Federal and I-70, and possibly while driving on 6th Avenue. At 4.17 a.m., the Denver Combined Communication Center received a 911 call from a female in the passenger seat of the White Ford Explorer. During the brief call, the female frantically advised the call taker that the pursuing deputies needed to back off or the driver was going to shoot her. Mr. Escobedo can be heard yelling in the background of the call. The female passenger related she did not know who the driver was. Deputies considered deploying tactical vehicle intervention techniques to stop the pursuit. The deputies were cautious in their distance they kept from the vehicle because of Mr. Escobedo's willingness to fire at the deputies. In the area of 14th Avenue in Sheridan Boulevard, an Adams County Sheriff's Deputy deployed stop sticks, which made contact with the front and rear passenger tires of the Explorer, causing both to deflate. Mr. Escobedo lost control of the vehicle as he was turning onto eastbound West Canahos Place. He struck a parked vehicle and the vehicle became disabled on the north side of 1540 North Mead Street. When the pursuit ended, there were numerous officers from the Denver Police Department and the Adams County Sheriff's Office present. The female quickly exited the vehicle through the front passenger door and appeared to be trying to move toward one of the Denver Police Officers. Mr. Escobedo quickly followed the female out of the vehicle through the same door. He grabbed the female, put a handgun to her head and started dragging her into the backyard of 1540 Mead Street. Officers and deputies quickly surrounded the residence containing Mr. Escobedo to the backyard. The backyard of the residence was dark, so officers and deputies used flashlights to illuminate the portion of the yard where Mr. Escobedo had taken the female. Though not completely visible, the officers recognized the male was behind a large bush on the south side of the residence. Officers began giving commands for Mr. Escobedo to come out and to drop the handgun. Denver Police Officer Thomas Mowen assumed the primary role of giving commands. This made certain that only one person was providing clear direction to Mr. Escobedo. You need to listen! Come out right now with your hands up! Officer Mowen attempted to de-escalate the situation by working to verbally engage Mr. Escobedo and gain his compliance to peacefully come out from the bushes. The officers moved back to a safer position while making contingency plans and obtaining shields for additional ballistic protection. After approximately one minute and 15 seconds, the female and Mr. Escobedo emerged from behind the bush. The female had her hands raised in the air. Mr. Escobedo was positioned behind her with his left arm around her neck and chest and his right hand holding a handgun to her head. The two slowly walked eastbound through the backyard. Officer Mowen continued to attempt to de-escalate the situation and gain voluntary compliance. While officers were in the backyard of the residence, there were also officers and deputies in the Lowell Meade Street Alley which was on the east side of the residence. From this position, Adams County Sheriff's Deputies Tran and Cory Engle were able to observe Mr. Escobedo and the female hostage through the gaps in the privacy fence. Deputy Engle was armed with an M-4 SWAT rifle and Deputy Tran was armed with his duty handgun. Deputy Engle and Deputy Tran were concerned the situation was deteriorating and believed the female hostage was in immediate danger based upon Mr. Escobedo's actions and statements. Both deputies fired their weapons at Mr. Escobedo. After these shots were fired, Mr. Escobedo dropped to the ground. The female hostage was freed and quickly moved away from Mr. Escobedo towards officers. Officers and deputies positioned in the backyard and in the alley observed Mr. Escobedo continue to move on the ground with immediate access to his firearm. Deputies Engle and Tran fired additional rounds from their position in the alley. Deputy Knight and Denver police officers Shane Magigal and Ramsey Ziranda fired multiple rounds from their duty handguns while positioned in the backyard. All officers stopped firing their weapons when they believed Mr. Escobedo was no longer a threat. Officers and deputies immediately approached Mr. Escobedo and began rendering aid. Paramedics quickly responded to the scene and determined Mr. Escobedo was deceased. The female hostage was assessed and found to be uninjured physically. She cooperated with the investigation. Following a police shooting any officers involved in the incident are separated and assigned to a supervisor once a situation is stabilized. Involved officers remain in the company of the assigned supervisor throughout the initial investigation of the incident. During the scene investigation 58 shell casings fired by the officers and deputies were recovered from the backyard and alley area. While processing the Ford Explorer investigators noted the rear passenger window was broken out. Four spent 45 caliber shell casings and a bag with 45 caliber ammunition were recovered inside the vehicle. In the backyard near Mr. Escobedo's body investigators recovered a 45 caliber Springfield XTM semi-automatic handgun. The gun was loaded with a live round in the chamber and five rounds in the magazine. Two additional magazines each loaded with 13 rounds of 45 caliber ammunition were also recovered near Mr. Escobedo's body. The route of the pursuit was searched by investigators. In the area of 45th Avenue and Federal Boulevard three spent 45 caliber shell casings were recovered. A toxicology report revealed the presence of methamphetamine, amphetamine, morphine, and fentanyl in Mr. Escobedo's system. All officers assigned to uniform patrol duties in Denver have been issued body worn cameras. These devices are generally worn at chest level by patrol officers and are capable of recording both audio and video. Prior to being activated by the officer, the body worn camera maintains a 30 second video buffer. Once the officer activates the camera, the 30 second buffer video is captured and the camera starts recording both audio and video. It is important to note that a body worn camera captures a general perspective of what is in the camera's view. However, this footage may or may not be what the officer actually saw or perceived.

The study found that global water stress has increased significantly since 1960 due to rising water demands, particularly for irrigation. Increased water demand was responsible for heightening water stress in many regions, including India and North China, where it could be as much as 200 percent. Additionally, climate variability was often a major contributor to extreme events, but in some cases, such as India, Romania and Cuba, these events were caused by increased water demand rather than climate change.
