Hey everyone, today we're dealing with one of the most credible Nintendo Direct leaks or rumors or speculation. Whatever you want to end up calling this, we're dealing with one of the most credible ones to date. Now there have been other credible ones as well and some of them were obviously spot on, July 20th date, Nintendo Direct Mini, all that stuff. But we have some August Nintendo Direct stuff coming out that seems to be really reasonable. So that's one reason why we're going to talk about it today. But before we get into that, I want to remind you to enter our giveaway for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition. You can pick out the Switch version or the PlayStation 4 version. To enter, all you have to do is comment on this video, like the video, subscribe to the channel and hit that bell icon. Also, if we can hit 50,000 subscribers before the month of November, we will do our biggest giveaway to date where one lucky winner will get an Xbox Series X, a PlayStation 5, or a Nintendo Switch. Now, that giveaway has not started yet, but I'm just kind of throwing it out there that if we can get the 50K, be prepared because the month of November is going to be a crazy, crazy giveaway. Alright, that being said, let's get into the rumor and it's really interesting because we have two different places that this rumor is really coming from. One of them is more so just confirming that we are getting a Direct of some type, some Nintendo something in August. And that comes from Jeff Grubb. Alright, for those of you who don't know, Jeff Grubb is this guy who's on Spawncast a little while back on their little podcast on the Spawnwave channel. And he's a guy who's got some connections within the industry with some developers. So, yeah, when he says stuff, he tends to be pretty accurate just from his own connections. And he's been doing this thing called Jeff Grubb's Summer Game Mess and he's been doing this for a little while now and pretty much everything he puts on here ends up being correct. Some of it's stuff we already know, like the August 6th State of Play and the rewatch Galaxy Quest on August 5th, but some of it is stuff we don't know. So going down the list, you know, you got the Frontier Showcase, the Xboxing Day sometime in August right now, just a month. It's been pretty talkative, but they don't have an announced day on that right now. DC Fando on August 27th. We have Gamescom opening game night on August 27th. Sorry, we have August 28th to the 30th. This is Gamescom Daily Show. This is stuff we already know about. Then there's the Wild Card Nintendo he throws in there. Wild Card Nintendo. So what he's basically saying is sometime in August, likely between the 11th and the 22nd since that there's nothing really much going on in there. Or it could be right at the end of the month. Something or other, there's something Nintendo coming. It could just be another partner showcase. It could be Nintendo Direct Mini, full blown direct. I have no idea, but he's just throwing this out there that there is a Wild Card Nintendo. Something happening in August as he has it all listed before we get to September, which is when Jeff Grubb's Summer Game S 2021 begins. So yeah, kind of crazy. Can't wait. This is pretty cool. And Jeff Grubb is legit as F. Now, this other one, this other this other leak, this other whatever you want to call it rumor comes from 4chan. And I know what you're saying. Probably 98% of these leaks rumors, whatever from 4chan are fake. I agree with you that that tends to be the case most of the time. But every now and then we get something that is believable. And I'd say about 50% of the actual believable leaks on 4chan end up being correct. Now remember the actual believable ones are like a less than 1% thing thrown out there. But it's interesting because 4chan is all anonymous. So anyone can go on there. You can't track who they are. Could be a Nintendo employee, could be whoever, could just be someone making stuff up. It's very speculative at best if you want to believe this stuff. But it's also interesting when you walk around and you see who makes videos on this.  He made a video on this. There's other YouTubers that might be already selective in which 4chan post we posted about. I mean, there are some channels out there that cover literally everything. I think blocked content is one such YouTube channel that literally any leak speculation, whatever out there, they cover it because then they have all their bases covered. But we don't cover everything here. We could literally make like eight of these videos a day if we covered everything. But this one's really interesting because nothing in it sounds that far-fetched. And some of it's stuff we already know about. So this was found by atdynamosuper on Twitter. So he's got some screenshots that we'll be using today. And it says there's going to be a direct on the 17th of August. So he's predicting the date will be the 17th. And it says, note, I want to make it clear that I don't have all the details. I don't know whether this is a mini or a regular direct as I've only seen Ben Wade aware of a few games that will appear. So anticipated games like Bayonetta 3, Pikmin or the rumored Mario collection were never mentioned to me. So I don't know if they'll appear in this direct or not. All right. And remember that we talked earlier about the Mario 35th anniversary. How Nate Drake feels like that's going to be more of a Twitter announcement anyways. So it might not even be part of a direct. Let's get into some of the games here. We have sports story by sidebar games. We'll get a trailer whether or not it gets a release date. You'll have to find out a new game by Square Enix that will release exclusively for the switch will be shown. It's called Zatara. No further information on that. Pretty interesting there. I have no idea what it could be, but Square Enix does do stuff like this sometimes. Next up is a seemingly new Nintendo IP co-developed by Nintendo EAD and Frontier developments is being revealed. The most information I have is it involves amusement parks. No confirmed release date will be kind of cool. Maybe see a kind of a simulation theme park kind of game. We don't have anything like that on switch. That's any good anyways. We do have one game, but yeah, that didn't turn out very well. Next up, Nintendo switch online isn't adding any new library of games. And I don't I actually believe this already. This isn't something that I needed a rumor or a leak or anything for. I've been kind of rock solid all the way that I thought they were done at SNES. They could go add Game Boy games, but I don't even think they're going to do that. But something that seems like a new reward system that involves missions. Now they've done missions like this before, not so much with switch games, but missions like beating a game or buying certain games or doing this or doing that gets you like extra coins. But you have to have worthwhile things to buy with the coins or it doesn't really matter. Again, this isn't the whole direct. I was only given this bit of information. If you believe it, it's up to you. See you next month. There's one other section to this that I missed. And that is things like plants for zombies battle for neighborville is being ported over to switch and released the same day on eShop. This game we already know about makes a lot of sense for it to be on switch. There won't be too shocking there. Super Mario 3D World will be getting a deluxe port release. This kind of stacks on top of an earlier rumor. New content will include new levels tied to a bonus story. So there'll be slightly new content in the game. There's supposed to be a new character, although I have no information who the character may be. And that's not surprising that they would add at least one more playable character in with the game since it's such a nice multiplayer experience. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronos Remastered Edition will get a trailer. We already know that that comes out this month, so that's not too surprising there to see that. This one is, you know, I think we expect to hear something soon, but this makes it sound like it's a bigger direct. Challenger Pack 7 for Smash Bros. Ultimate will be teased. The most I can give is that it's not a first party character. That's huge. Like we're going to get the seventh character in Challenger Pack 7 announced here. So that sounds great if this is to be believed. After that, we have the sequel to Breath of the Wild will make appearance as a trailer. Getting me all hyped thinking, ooh, it's really coming this holiday. However, Zelda is apparently playable and the most I have for a release date is May 2021, but subject to change. So a 2021 game could get pushed back. But Zelda will be playable supposedly. I think there's been some speculation around this already that maybe you can even switch back and forth between Link and Zelda. You know, kind of like you can in games like Secret of Mana, you can switch between three different playable characters. So maybe it's something like that. I have no idea. But this is pretty exciting stuff. And man, can we speculate for days on a playable Zelda? Then a Metroid spin-off is being revealed. No Metroid, I'm assuming he means Metroid Prime 4 announcements or updates. So some sort of Metroid spin-off. Maybe it's a 2D Metroid. Maybe it's another, you know, Prime Hunter situation. Pinball. Something Metroid to tide us over at least until they're ready to talk about the big Metroid Prime 4 and potentially the Metroid Prime trilogy, which has been rumored and speculated for a couple of years at this point to exist. But after things got delayed, it's possible that they're just waiting until they can show Metroid Prime 4 before even talking about that trilogy publicly. That's at least my speculation on that front. So all of this is crazy info. And I don't know what to believe. We're talking about it now just because this seems like something that could happen. Nothing in here is that crazy. I mean, maybe the craziest is what that we're going to see Breath of the Wild. But it feels like we could see Breath of the Wild. It's been over a year since we last saw it. So seeing the Breath of the Wild 2 footage. Zelda being playable, I guess, maybe is the craziest part of this whole thing. Because Zelda has never really been playable as an individual character. Has been playable as a spirit in spirit tracks in terms of controlling the Phantom. But we haven't really been able to play as Zelda before. Unless you want to count Zelda's adventure for the CD-i games. So yeah, I'm kind of at a loss for words at this point. I really kind of want this to be true just because we get to see Breath of the Wild for crying out loud. Let alone the DLC for Smash Bros. But this also makes it sound like it's a little bit of a bigger direct. Maybe not the big general direct. I don't know. It feels like if they're showing out Breath of the Wild it is the big general direct. But we'll see what happens. And we gotta remember whatever the next thing coming from Zelda is. According to the nature, it's something small before the big show. Which made it sound like maybe the big show, the big directs in September. So maybe there'll be two things from Nintendo. I have no idea. This is just what we have being placed at our feet. For us to digest.  And trust me, I know there's a lot of you out there that are getting tired of these rumors. I get it. I understand. But damn, is it fun to talk about and speculate? Because you know what? We don't have anything legit to talk about and speculate, do we? Not really. Not from Nintendo's side of things. So this is what we're stuck with when it comes to our news right now. Anyways, thank you guys so much for tuning in. I'm Nathan DeRovageance from The Tender Prime. Sure to answer that giveaway. As I said before, comment, like, subscribe and hit that bell icon. Help us on our Road 250 freaking case so we can do an even bigger giveaway this holiday. Otherwise, folks, I will catch all of you guys in the next video. Which is actually a live stream probably happening shortly after this video goes live. Catch you guys later. Bye.

Hello and welcome to the Hindu News Analysis by Shankar A.S. Academy. The news articles along with the page numbers from different editions of the Hindu are displayed here for your convenience. The PDF link of the handwritten notes and the time stamping of the news articles is given in the description box and also in the comment section. Let's start with the first news article analysis. These news articles are with reference to India's election to become a non-permanent member at the United Nations Security Council. The syllabus relevant for the analysis of these news articles is highlighted here for your reference. We know that every year the United Nations General Assembly elects five non-permanent members of the Security Council for a term of two years and the election is held by the secret ballot. So, to get elected a country requires a two-thirds majority of the members present and voting. So, that is why it was important for India to get support of other countries to get elected as a non-permanent member from the Asia Pacific category. We know that India contested for non-permanent seat and it won 184 votes in the 193 member UN General Assembly and the number of votes received symbolizes the goodwill enjoyed by the country at the international level. So, with this election, India is going to serve its membership for a period of two years from the month of January 2021. In this context, we are going to discuss important tasks or challenges before India as a non-permanent seat. The first and foremost is that it has to promote multilateral solutions for the current global crisis, which is the COVID-19 crisis. Then it has to enhance the global action against terrorism. So, through this action, India is to promote global peace and security and India is going to push the early conclusion of a comprehensive convention on international terrorism that is CCIT. And we know that this convention is presently at the deliberation stage as there are differences among the countries over important provisions such as the definition of terrorism itself. Then India will be playing an important role to bring reforms in the existing framework of international mechanisms or institutions. One of the main tasks is that to reform the Security Council itself. This is because right now only five countries are the permanent members of the UN Security Council. And we know that this is undemocratic and non-representative as five countries have the supreme powers in deciding the world affairs. This is mainly because the permanent member countries have the veto power. Though India represents more than 17% of the global population, it is not yet a permanent member at the UNSC. So, in the UNSC itself, India has to push for early reforms. Then using the opportunity as non-permanent member of UNSC, India will have better opportunities to bring in reforms at various other multilateral organizations and specialized agencies of the United Nations. We know that these reforms have been proposed for a long period of time in the important institutions such as International Monetary Fund and at the World Bank. For example, at the IMF, India's vote share is just 2.63%, whereas for the United Nations it is about 16.51%. So in International Monetary Fund, for important decisions, more than 85% of the votes are required. So in such a scenario, since ES has more than 15% of vote share, it is having veto power. That is, any crucial decisions must have the support or in other words, support of ES is inevitable. Then at the United Nations, in addition to the expansion of UN Security Council, India is also demanding a transparency in the mandates and functioning of ENP's Keeping Missions. We know that ENA is one of the top contributors for the ENP's Keeping Force and the resources are also raised from the UN member states. So the peacekeeping missions have to be both transparent and accountable. And this will ensure that a mission of ENP's Keeping will achieve the foundational objective of ENP's Keeping Mission, that is to ensure peace in the reasons of conflict. And with the transparency in the ENP's Keeping will improve the efficacy or efficiency of the poses and it will also achieve the goal of maintaining peace in the reasons of conflict. So ENA has brought in a framework called NAMS. It stands for New Orientation for a Reformed Multilateral System. ENA is to provide a new orientation to the present multilateral arrangements by bringing in reforms. So for this to be achieved, ENA has some challenges to face in this direction. One is that that is within the United Nations Security Council, it should not be aligned or it should avoid the temptation of taking sides. This is more important in the present times because of the increasing polarization within the Security Council. So in the Indian context, the poles of concern are VSC and China. The reason for this is taking one side means that the other side will obviously exercise veto against the actions pushed by India. Then India's success in its tenure will depend on how it is to act as a leader for all the non-permanent countries at the Security Council. So to get the much needed legitimacy to promote India's rightful positions on various issues, ENA is to have four qualities. This includes to be a voice to the weaker sections, then a voice to the underrepresented or underrepresented or being a leader among the non-permanent members in the Security Council. So if ENA imbibes these qualities, then India's position at the Security Council will be valued and will give legitimacy among other countries. So with this information, we have come to the end of analysis of these news articles. So in this analysis, we saw in brief about the elections for the non-permanent seat at the Security Council. Then we saw what role ENA will be playing at the Security Council in its two-year tenure as a non-permanent member. And finally, we saw few important challenges before India. In realising its plan of giving new orientation for a reformed multilateral system. Let's move on to the next news article analysis. This discussion is going to be very interesting, particularly when border tensions between India and China are extremely tense. We know that every day we are flooded with messages to bicoch China product and social media is trending with banned China products hashtags. So at this moment, this op-ed article explains can India disengage or decouple itself from Chinese manufacturing influence. So in this article, authors explain the challenges faced by India as well as options available with us so that we can reduce or minimize our dependencies on Chinese products. The syllabus relevant to the analysis of this topic is highlighted here for your reference. Now we'll discuss what are the challenges faced by India to reduce dependence on China. The constant foremost is that the two-way trade between India and China was about 81 billion dollars during 2019-20 financially. So out of this, India's import from China was about 65 billion dollars. This means that the trade is highly biased in Chinese favor and it shows how dependent we are on Chinese manufacturing influence. One of the important reasons cited for the Chinese success is being a manufacturing giant.  It means that there is a local or domestic market which drives the manufacturing sector in their country. Now in case of India, in order to expand the domestic market, India's strategy was to reduce the burden on agriculture sector and to move people to the manufacturing sector. But this did not happen to the satisfactory level and this resulted in unemployment which in turn reduced the demand in the economy and as a result the manufacturing affected which was reflected in lowering of growth rates even before the onset of COVID-19 pandemic. Then the news article talks about to make in India initiative which was brought to make India as a manufacturing hub and this was a great attempt to boost domestic manufacturing but it did not achieve its true potential. So import dependence on China is still on rise. Therefore it is important to note that India imports range from big capital goods like machinery to even small things like liquid soap. Then the other major imports include fertilizers, cheap consumer goods and medical goods and so forth and so on. Now when it comes to foreign direct investment that is FDA, the news article says that there is a wide difference in FDA inflows between India and China. The FDAs are very much required to boost domestic manufacturing but when you see the FDA inflow statistics we can find that service sector is mostly preferred by investors than the manufacturing sector. This is because we have high skill set in service sector and we are facing shortage of skilled manpower in the manufacturing sector. So the foreign direct investments are mainly coming to the existing assets and not for the new projects. For this we can take example of Wal-Mart's acquisition of Flipkart, our Facebook's stake in Reliance Geo and we know that both Flipkart and Reliance Geo are the existing projects. Now what could be the solution to reduce these influences? That is we often see that many recommend India to follow China's footsteps to boost manufacturing sector. Here author notes that the world was different when China mastered its manufacturing sector compared to the recent times. Those were the times when globalization was at a peak and an export driven strategy was the best idea to manufacturing. Now the protectionism is on rise which goes against globalization and export driven growth statuses. Furthermore post-economic crisis of 2008 countries started depending more on domestic market than global markets. Therefore we should concentrate more on our domestic market and reduce our dependencies on global market for import and export business. For that we should revamp our existing policies particularly in the domain of attracting foreign direct investment and to promote a domestic manufacturing base in our country. So to increase foreign direct investment inflows into manufacturing sector we should have an effective skilling by using programs like Radhaan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Vyoshana and we know that it will certainly take some time to enhance the skilling of the existing resources. So till then we should reduce dependency on China. For this we should first identify areas or sectors where we can relatively move back from being dependent to independent. Furthermore we should be very clear or transparent and predictable in our policies. For example on one side we announce that India's objective is to play an important role in global supply chains and other side we refrain from joining trade agreements and this shows that our policies are ambiguous and are prone to uncertainties. Therefore this should be taken care at the highest levels. With this information we have come to the end of analysis of this news article. Now let's move on to the next news article analysis. This discussion is about domestic violence and the relevant syllabus for this news article is highlighted here for your reference. We know that one of the critical areas which gained notice during lockdown period was the rising violence within the family. Even the data released by the National Legal Services Authority that is NELSA suggests that lockdown has led to a rapid increase in the cases of domestic violence. As per the data of NELSA more than 700 cases relating to domestic violence were reported to legal services authorities in the different states and union territories for seeking legal aid or legal assistance. The highest number of cases were reported in the state of Uttarakhand followed by the state of Oregon. Today's news is to provide assistance for those who seek information on domestic violence. So in this regard Twitter which is a social media platform has launched SH prompt for its users that is when users type keywords like domestic violence, crime against women, marital rape etc then the user of Twitter will be directed to the website of a ministry of women and development or to the website of national commission for women. The purpose of this move is to direct users of Twitter to have access to information and updates from authority to sources. Now we will see what is meant by domestic violence and then the important provisions of protection of women from domestic violence act of 2005. Here the simple definition of domestic violence would be physical abuse, mental abuse, financial and sexual abuse inflicted upon a woman by any member of the family directly or indirectly. That is these abuses experienced by an adult woman within her home constitute domestic violence. So to fight against domestic violence the protection of women from domestic violence act 2005 was enacted and this act provides for effective protection of rights of women which are guaranteed under the article 15 of the Indian constitution. So as for the definition of domestic violence under section 3 of domestic violence act of 2005 it not only includes physical sexual abuse but also verbal and emotional abuse such as accusations on character of women or humiliating or name-calling for not bringing dowry or insult for not having child or male child also constitute domestic violence. Know that it also includes economic abuse such as not providing money for maintaining women or children or not providing food or clothes or medicines or forcing women out of the house constitute the definition of domestic violence as per the section 3 of the protection of women from domestic violence act of 2005. The act covers all women who may be mother, sister, wife, widow or partners living in a shared household. Either relationship may be in nature of marriage or adoption and relationships with the family members living together as a joint family or also included. This means that a complaint can be filed against any adult male member who has been in a domestic relationship with the woman. Complaint can also be filed against the relatives of husband or the male partner. So it includes both male and female relatives of the male partner. Further the domestic violence information may be given and complaint can be made to a police officer or protection officer or service provider such as an NGO or even to a magistrate. So in the context of domestic violence we should focus about the definition of domestic violence that is what constitutes domestic violence as per the protection of women from domestic violence act of 2005. With this information let's move on to the next news article analysis. This question is framed with reference to this news article which states that elections to 19 Rajasava seats will be held across nine states. So in this context it is important to know how the Rajasava members are elected and we know that the total strength of Rajasava is 245 and out of the total strength total members are nominated by the president of India then the members other than the nominated members are to be elected by indirect election in the respective states and union territories. So in this context today we'll analyze how they are indirectly elected that is the representatives of states in the Rajasava are elected by the elected members of the state legislative assemblies and this is based on article 80 of the Indian constitution which mentions that the representatives of each state in the council of states shall be elected by the elected members of the legislative assembly the state in accordance with the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote and in the case of union territories with the legislative assemblies the electoral college consists of elected members of the legislative assemblies and this is as per section 27a of the representation of people act of 1950. Now we'll discuss the actual election process of the state legislative assembly or in the union territory that is an elected member has to rank the candidates according to their preference. So a candidate must secure a minimum quota of votes to be declared as a winner and this minimum quota of votes is calculated using this formula that is a total votes poll divided by total number of candidates to be elected plus one and then plus one to the whole. So this formula gives a minimum quota therefore when the votes are counted they will see the number of candidates who have got required first preference votes and all those who have got this number are declared as elected furthermore if after counting first preference votes if the required number of persons are not elected then the candidates who secure the lowest votes of first preference vote is eliminated. Say for example 10 members voted the eliminated candidate as their first preference vote now the second preferences of these 10 members will be transferred to the other contestants and added with their first preference votes and this process continues till the required number of candidates are declared as elected by securing the minimum quota of votes. So this election process is known as the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. With this information let's take up the given question. If two statements are given and you need to choose correct statement or statements. The electoral college for the election of representatives to the Rajya Sabha by union territories with the legislative assembly is prescribed in the constitution. In the case of union territory of Jammu and Kashmir the electoral college for the election of members to Rajya Sabha consists of elected members of Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly. The first statement is incorrect because the constitution left this matter to the parliament to determine by the law. So it was covered in the representation of people act of 1950 but not in the original constitution. Now the second statement is correct because as per the recent amendment made to the section 27a of representation of people act of 1950 this statement is correct. That is in the case of union territory of Jammu and Kashmir the electoral college for the election of members to Rajya Sabha consists of elected members of Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly. So the correct answer to this question is option b2 only. Now let's take up this question which is based on Asian Development Bank. We have framed this question because we have a relevant news article in today's newspaper which mentions the growth projections by the Asian Development Bank. The bank in its supplement to its Asian Development Outlook 2020 forecasted that due to economic impacts of pandemic the Indian economy is expected to contract by about four percent during the current financial year. The bank also forecasted that countries in developing Asia will barely grow in the year 2020. So as per the updated Asian Development Outlook 2020 the forecasted growth rate for developing Asia is about 0.1 percent in the year 2020. Now that a developing Asia comprises about 46 members within the Asian Development Bank. So in the context of this news article we should know about Asian Development Bank which was conceived in the early 1960s as a financial institution that would be Asian in character and would foster economic growth and cooperation in one of the poorest regions in the world. So it was established in the year 1966 and the bank envisions a prosperous, inclusive, resilient and sustainable Asia and the Pacific. Know that the bank aims to eradicate extreme poverty in the region. Therefore in order to achieve the foundational vision of the bank the bank assists its members and partners by providing soft loans or technical assistance, equity investments. Know that the bank at present has 68 members and out of the total membership 49 nations or regional members that is from within Asia and the Pacific and the remaining that is 19 nations or non-regional members. Know that India joined as a founding member in the year 1966 itself. Now with this information let's take up the given question. Consider the following statements with reference to Asian Development Bank. It is an institution under World Bank Group. Its purpose is to foster economic growth and cooperation in both Asia and Pacific regions. When the third statement says recently it was designated as a UN-specialized agency. The first statement is incorrect because it is not part of World Bank Group. Know that World Bank Group is the largest multilateral development bank and it is made up of five institutions which includes International Bank for Reconstruction and Development that is IBRD, then International Development Association, IDA, International Finance Corporation, IFC, Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency that is MIGA and then International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes, ICSID. Here know that IBRD and IDA are together referred as the World Bank. So if the first statement is incorrect we can eliminate the options A and C. The third statement is also incorrect because ADB is not an UN-specialized agency. Know that UN-specialized agencies are international organizations and they coordinate their work with the United Nations through the negotiated agreements. At present there are 17 specialized agencies of United Nations like International Monetary Fund, International Labor Organization, International Maritime Organization, Food and Agriculture Organization, World Health Organization, World Intellectual Property Organization and also World Bank Group. So out of the given statements first and third statements are incorrect and the second statement is correct statement. So the correct answer for this question is option B to only. Now let's take up this question which was asked in 2018 UPSI Billings examination. The question is that rule of law index is released by which of the following organizations? The answer to this question is option D World Justice Project. This question assumes significance because we have a relevant news article in today's newspaper. Here news is that the Supreme Court of India asked the central government to constitute expert committees to examine the best practices of the top countries in the rule of law index. So in this context we should focus mainly on who releases this index. Now that the world justice project releases the rule of law index and the world justice project is an American independent multidisciplinary organization. The organization seeks to increase public awareness about the foundational importance of the rule of law to stimulate government reforms to develop practical programs at the community level. See the rule of law index measures countries rule of law performance across eight important factors. These factors includes constraints on government powers, options of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and security, regulatory enforcement, civil and criminal justice systems. So these are the certain important aspects we should remember in the context of rule of law index. Now let's take up practice question session. Today we are giving three practice main questions which are relevant for your general studies papers 1, 2 and 3. This question is relevant for your general studies paper 1. The question is what are the safe words provided for women against the social evil of domestic violence. This is a Denmark's question and you have to write in 150 words. Now let's take up one more practice question. This question is relevant for your general studies paper 2. In the context of India's successful election to the United Nations Security Council discuss the priorities of India at the multilateral arena. This question is also 10 marks question and you have to write in 150 words. Let's take up this question which is relevant for your general studies paper 3. For a period of time Indian economy has become heavily dependent on China but the recent disputes between India and China have resulted in rising anti-China sentiments among Indian population. This is a good chance for India to revamp economic policies to become a self-relient discuss. Note that this is a 15 marks question. Dear viewers we request you post your written answers for these three main questions. Your posted answers would be evaluated and suitable feedback would be given in the reasonable time frame.

If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. I'm okay, Sarge. How you fix the ammo? I've got syphon clips, no grenades. How hard he may have fought to prevent it, there is always the chance a fighting man may be captured by the enemy. So long as he keeps up the fight, there is no disgrace. But the prison camp is only an extension of the battlefield.  That's right. I'm putting you on the list. Are there many ahead of me? Some. Look, there's a guard coming.  I've got a job for you. You're right. Two Americans have escaped. For the enemy, the question now is, did an escape organization set up a mock fight to cover the escape? To get this answer, the interrogators unlimber every weapon. One of the most dangerous and subtle is the offer of parole. Parole. Like a soft, inviting purr. Parole in exchange for certain privileges. A promise he will not try to escape. Again and again the offer is made till the whole camp seems to echo with the beguiling invitation. It's then every man must face up to what it really means. Military personnel of the United States Army are forbidden to give their parole to the enemy. No member of the army can give a parole to the enemy unless he's authorized to give it by a senior officer or the non-common command. When these flatheads offer a parole, they're giving you exactly nothing. You're giving them something. How do you mean, Sarge? When you give them your word of honor, your parole, that you won't try to escape. You're one guy they don't have to worry about. Now multiply you by 10. That's two gods they can send someplace else where they need them worse. Having parolees in a camp makes their job easier in other ways. But even as he talks, the sergeant is worried about one of his men, P. F. C. Crane. Sure, he did his assignment all right. He had started the fight that covered the escape, but in prison camp as elsewhere, a man is known by the company he keeps. Hey, Crane, get away from that fence, will ya? For peace sakes, come on back here, boy. What's the matter? What's up? What's the matter with you? What's the matter with me?  She heard what they said when they brought us in here yesterday. Nuts. What do you want to take a chance on trouble for?  With luck a guy might...  It's not just you in there. What about the rest of us? Listen, I was watching on the way here. About a mile north is a dry riverbed with plenty of brushwood cover. Look, there's bound to be water somewhere along there for canteens. Look, Crane, will you listen to me? You would never make it five miles. Listen, why buy trouble? If they catch you, boy, no telling what they'll do to you. Just play it cool. How would that noise? Look, I heard they could a guy from barracks number two less. All they did was send some 30 days in solitary. You like it here? I'll give it to you. Yeah, but the chance will come. And when it does, I'm going out. Who said anything about liking it here? Well, I said, well, you're taking a chance.  I got things to think about. The sergeant has seen Crane's disgust for the parolee. And a few hours later, after Crane's interrogation, any further doubts about him are answered. He offered me a parole if I told him the fight was friend. Instead of I give my word of wanting out to escape, I get plenty of good food and a room all on myself with a stove in it. I told him the fight was strictly on the level, and I should know because I started it. I made a man.  He seemed awful anxious to give me that parole. For the sergeant, although with guards around him, his expression can't show it, a moment of pride in a fellow soldier. For he knows the will to resist is what keeps a man alive until that inevitable, wonderful day. A soldier to resist in the battlefield of the prison camp is the only way to live at peace with his soul and his fellow Americans. And for the parolee, what lies ahead now? The enemy has used him, discarded him, and there is no pension plan for collaborators. He deserves the scornful eyes of other men who had the will to resist, who were ingrained with the spirit of the soldier's creed. If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist. I just know I'm never going to get out of this alive. What kind of crazy talk is that?  We're almost all out of ammo. What are we going to do if they attack again? We're going to get captured for sure. Well, ain't nobody in this hole going to get captured. If we run out of ammo, we'll fight those crud with our rifle butts. You can say that again, Debrowski. Nobody in this whole company is going to be captured, kid. Don't worry, the old man knows what he's doing. We're going to get out of this all right. What did I tell you, kid? You got much ammo left? We got nine clips between us. How about grenades? Refresh out. It's all I can let you have. Make them count. Don't worry. We will. Won't we, kid? Damn right we will. I understand he's to hold his fire until I give a signal. Yes, sir. Up to sea concerns the men of the Third Platoon and what they did in their moment of truth. As soon as they lift his head... For some members of the Third Platoon, the going is tougher. Between them and the reserves to the south flows a slow-moving but treacherous river. A soldier hates the idea of parting company from his weapon. For without his rifle, he is nothing. But now the big thing is to stay alive to fight again. And he makes sure to hide his gear so it won't do the enemy any good. Each man is on his own. Each man making his way to the reserves as best he can. The Sergeant. The old pro of a soldier who knows he's going to make it. And the youngster who has forgotten his fear by now. But on his mind, even as he reaches the lines as the question, how about his young friend? Did he measure up? Was he going to make it too? What comes sliding into your mind at a time like this? A siren call. Surrender? Give up? Live it out in an enemy prison camp? But the approaching steps of the enemy play a tune that washes over that call. A tune with a heartbeat that stirs and fires the blood of the American soldier. A heartbeat that lays it on the line. I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.  I will give no information, nor take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am a senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way. For those who were involved, it's always the ticking of a certain clock that comes to mind when they think about the prison camp, even though the whole thing started when Sergeant Martin called them over. From here on in, we're really going to get the business. Because if they don't know already, they soon will that Johnson and Whitaker have escaped. They knew, of course, had they not helped? They also knew the greater challenge lay ahead. The two who had escaped needed 48 hours to make the border. Their job? To give their two buddies that 48 hours. They won't find out. They're sure going to give it a try. Okay, fellas. Now, this is it. Remember what I said. Two men from this barracks are missing. But I think that they will get far, however. You have accomplished nothing, but to make trouble for yourselves. The enemy's campaign was started. They had 48 hours to go to hold out. We will find out how this was done. And who organized it? First man up, P. F. C. Brown. Ordered, served up on a platter, the members of the escape organization. Sure you don't want a cigarette? They're American. The recipe, sweetness and light. Then, if nothing starts to rise, bring to a boil. Listen, kid. I will have those wings. Have you experienced solitary confinement? What? I promise you will not forget it. 40 hours to go. The men here that Brown has been placed in the hole. How long will they keep? Until they're satisfied they're wasting their time. Which they are. How about Novak? Any word yet? He's still up there. Novak, that's better. You really must run to him. 31 hours to go. Now, once again, who are the members of the escape organization? Keep your eyes on me. Who are the men Novak? You could have you not to answer. Someone will. Why not you? Novak, on a real day. 21 hours to go. How would you like to move into better quarters? With time racing past, the Inquisitor pulls out all stops on Corporal Blake. Did you know that the village below posts many attractive young girls? Many a progressive prisoner has spent a pleasant evening in the village with an intelligent man, more intelligent than most of your men. Can't you see that you will harm no one by telling us something that we will find out anyway? You see, I'm not angry. Return to your barracks. I've never been in the hole, yet. You wouldn't like it. Stinks. No plumbing, you know? No room for plumbing. That interrogator's no dope. He trained for the job. But you fellas played it smart by not trying to play it smart.  That's the best bet. I, uh... I think they're saving me for dessert. 17 hours to go. You will come to understand, prisoner Martin, that every man of us on the People's Army is a friend of the American worker. We are not against Americans. You could do much more to help your fellow prisoners to better living conditions here in the camp, you know? If you help to disband such groups as this escape organization, such groups do no good and only create trouble for the camp population as a whole. You could do much good for everyone here. Look at it in that way. I can promise that neither you nor anyone else will be punished for any past activities in such an organization. If it is disbanded and we can be sure that it will operate no longer. What do you say? Down, Martin. At your feet. You will stand at attention until you answer my questions. And if one of your feet moves outside my little circle, I will have the guard put a bayonet point through it. Now, Martin, you are a member of the organization for escape. Is that not true? But not before that goon of his gave me a couple of souvenirs with this bayonet. Is there anything yet on Johnson and Whitaker? No, no word yet. Save that time to make it to the border by now. We're gonna be okay. We just keep on sticking together. Because if we do, we'll come through this with a body and a conscience in one piece. And later on, when they thought about it, they thought of the clock in that airless, tension-filled room where the questions had come again and again. They would keep silent and keep faith. The unquenchable heartbeat of their will to live. Keep faith. Keep faith. With my fellow prisoners, I will give no information nor take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am a senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and back them up in every way.


My trouble with God was that for so long, I thought I needed to find Him. I was searching for a voice, searching for a feeling or a moment where His presence was tangible. But that didn't happen. It was either that this God thing was a hoax or somehow I was messing it up. But over the years I've come to realize that my trouble wasn't with God at all, but rather my own expectations of how He needed to present Himself to me. The truth is God's presence, His nearness, His involvement isn't dictated by a voice or a feeling or a moment, but rather His promises. He promises that He's working all things out for my good and His glory, that He'll never leave me or forsake me and that His love for me is unconditional as His child. There's nothing that can separate me from His love, that He's provided everything I need to live a godly life in His Word. The moment I stop trying to search for a voice or a feeling is the moment I finally rest, just being content to live in His presence.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Market's kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good Monday morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN just after 9 a.m. eastern time.  It's Tuesday morning. That was a little bit of recalibration. Coming off the long weekend there. Happy Tuesday morning. Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. As we kick into the action this morning, you got the S&Ps down about four points. We check out the action on a 10-minute basis. Earlier this morning, down to about 4,500. We just got quite a little acceleration up to 4,520. NASDAQ 100, we're negative by 44 points right now. Trading at 15,471. We're trading up 19 points in the Dow at 34,902. And the Russell, negative by 10. You jump over to Crude. How about it, right? Crude. Accelerating higher, man. 9 o'clock. Not sure what just got said. Somebody have something in the dead man. We just jumped to buck 50. What was that? Tuesday at 9 o'clock in the morning in terms of Crude. Catching quite a lift there. We have some action going on. You got the gold contract moving this morning. 1958 right now. We jump over to the dollar index when you got commodities moving. Yeah, so what's going on right now? We got action across the board even in the last few minutes. Dollar was up at almost 105. We pull back a little bit right now to 104.60. You jump over to yields. The story last week and how about the retracement? How about it? And it's continuing today. Down about 12 ticks on Friday. You spike on the jobs number to 111.12. We're now a point and six ticks below that number. Pretty remarkable in terms of where we are with you. Welcome, folks. We got a switch off here. It's a beautiful thing. Dow. Dow investors right now down 41. You get the Nasdaq up 20 S&Ps are down three. Gold contracts down 1350 trading at 1953. You get silver down 42 cents. $24.14. An ounce of light sweet crude. Up a buck 15. $86.70 a barrel. Notes and bonds. A 10-year note down 16 ticks. Trading 1102. The 30-year of full point at 1.19.12. And king dollar. King dollar trading up 603 at 104.839. The euro is at 107. The yen is out here trading at a price point of 147. The British pound is at 125 to 1 US dollar. Our phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Let's take a look at this, folks. I'm going to go right to the dollar. And this is why. Because, okay, check this out, man. This is pretty intense. So, dollar out here this morning. Friday, we came up to the underbelly of the break downtown. Today, you blew it away. Whoops. Oh, one second, I'm going to do this again. You not only blew it away, you went after, not after you actually broke the swing that it's been trying to do for quite some time. Okay, get this together, Tom, one second. Because this is pretty cool, man. And this is what's going to rule the market today. And for quite some time, actually, not just today. Okay, so there's the break.  You blow it away this morning, right? Now, when you check this out, what you're going to see is that the number you're going to keep your eye on out here today is going to be the 104 699. And what you can see that happened prior to 7.30 this morning, 8 o'clock this morning, 8.40 to be exact, okay? The bottom line, the dollar dropped out of bed again. Like, really quick, too.  But the bottom line is 8.40. It goes from over the swing point underneath the swing point, okay? That being said, go back over it.  This is what was so interesting this morning when this was happening. The European market, okay? You know, right now the European market's down, anyway, from 1 tenth of a percent to 3 tenths of a percent. Well, the European market was flat. And the gold contract, okay, was not getting destroyed. So, what that says to me is that we're going to have a failure inside the dollar today. Take a look at the gold contract. We're at 10.53 right now. We got down to 19.53. We got down to 19.50. That being said, that's not a big move because of the fact that you're actually going into strength, and if you're, you know, in gold or silver equities, they're all going into August 29th or August 25th. Strength. That's what they're doing. Gold contract today, you know, is getting into this number. And then if we go to the S&P, what you're going to see is that you talk about moving around. These things are moving around like big time. So, we had the S&P get down to 4500, yet didn't break the overnight low. And you can see if we open this up a bit. Sorry about that, folks. I just came in here because I wanted to get this done. Nope. I'll talk to you later. Okay. So, if you take a look at this, this is the overnight low. Overnight low out there was, let's see, four... was it 4500? Yeah, 4500. We came down to 45.01.75. It's going to be a cool day. And then, okay, so if we put this on a daily now, right? What I expect you're going to see out here today is this. You're going to see this, did all of fail somehow? The spies already rejected 459.17. This spy is looking to go to its highs. The highs generated out here being the 459.44. We go into the cues. We take a look at the cues. Well, first, let's do the end cues. We take a look at the end cues. And what you're going to see with the end cues, they're in the positive, okay? They not only, you know, didn't get down to the lows, they basically came off them with some strength. Yeah, they did. They came off them with some strength. What time was that? Yeah, that's what I was writing here. They came off them with some strength. They're challenging the highs of Friday. You take a look at the cues. Cues want to do the same thing. You know, the cues have a little bit different setup, but the bottom line is that they want to do the same thing. So now what you're going to have in the cues is that you rejected 375. You're at 378.99. The last high out here happens to be the 387.90. That thing wants to get banged, you know, so we'll see how this is shaken up. Some of the bonds, we're going to do the bonds because the bonds we're doing, bonds, the gold and gold, we're doing the same thing, meaning they were coming into, let me show you here, they were coming into, they came into the strength and now I get a better understanding about the volume so you're going to see they're coming in with tremendously lighter volume. They're coming into the strength of the 29th as well as the 25th. And you're going to need a lot more sellers there because you can see that's where we're coming in right here. That had 2.9, 2.72 million contracts. Right now you've only done 946,000 so we'll end up doing about 1.7, probably 1.6. Our phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. We have the Dow. The Dow Industries right now is trading down 37. We get the NASDAQ up 21. S&Ps down 2.5. Stay right there folks, we'll come right back.

TFNN, Educating Investors. Come back, folks. We have the Dow. Dow investors right now down 35, now it's except 22. S&Ps are off three. Let's go inside the Dow first and take a look at the strength versus the weakness. You've got to remember something, folks. You're still in window dressing right now, so you can get some movement out here. Point-wise, what we have is this. You have Microsoft putting 36 positive points. Is that IBM? Yeah, IBM? No, no. United Health putting 35. You've got Chevron putting 10. Taken away from it, you have Home Depot minus 28. You've got Goldman Sachs minus 18. Inside the NDX100, what do we have? Inside the NDX100, you've got Airbnb. That's a big move. We'll pull that up a big percent. You've got Tesla up 3.2, Netflix is up 2.7. Taken away from it, Illumina is down 5.2. You've got Siri Satellite up 2.6. So let's go to Airbnb first and take a look at Airbnb. So you've got Airbnb up 10.5%, that's a big move. What they have, what they do out here. So, bottom line is that they're just buying it. That's the buy, that's where it comes down to, that's what it looks like. And let's go take a look at Netflix. Sorry, I'm still not sure about that. Stop it. Netflix, N-F-L-X. You take a look at Netflix. Netflix is up 12.95. Now, Netflix also is a high-volume high, folks. So that's going to be going after a high-volume high. We put this on a weekly. And yeah, you can see it's sticking out like a sore thumb. Actually, Netflix is an ABC app. Look at this. So your B-point on Netflix here is 4.56. That's a beauty. 3.15, that's a big one, man. That's going to give you about 5.30. What's up here? Yeah, Netflix and ABC up to 5.30. And you know, on Netflix right now, folks, okay, you have The Big Shot, okay, which is a great movie, folks. I watched it last night. And it goes to, you want to watch it if you haven't seen it yet. It goes to the heart of Wall Street and the corruption and the fraud inside the mortgage market and the terror. The terror, actually. You know, these guys end up making money, but I'm sure a lot of them didn't. The terror in order to stay in that trade, because what had happened, and I remember this so well, man, because here, let me show you something. I remember when this was happening, because I was shot at the home builders myself. So watch this. This is what had happened. This was so deviant. It was unbelievable, actually. So we pulled this up. I go back. I go back. I gotta go back, what, 15, 20 years now, right? It's had to comprehend. Is that it right there? It was 2007. My God, I can't believe it's that long ago. So weird. It seems like yesterday. Okay, so here it is right here. So let me spread this out a little. So this is Toll Brothers, right? And what had happened is that the mortgage market started falling apart. And this was the end of 2005. And what you had is that you still had Toll Brothers, all these home builders were going to highs, even when it was falling apart. And they show, basically, in the movie about how the actual banks were holding up the... Well, the banks could mock to market themselves. They had the ability on the CDOs and the mortgage-backed securities, the MBSs, to mock to market themselves. And the markets fallen apart, but yet they decided to start mocking them up instead of down, okay? So check it out. Just go through this kind of slow so you can understand what happened here. So they're mocking them up, even though they knew that they were worth less money because that's the first part. Second part is that the rating agencies, they show that a couple of these firms, went to the rating agencies, meaning the firms that were going to shot them. They hadn't gone shot yet, but they were basically doing homework to say that, okay, man, there's something wrong here, okay? So one of the rating agencies, how the rating agencies weren't even looking into what was in the tranches. So inside a tranche, okay? Inside the MBS, okay? Inside the whole structure, so you have one vehicle that's trading. Inside that vehicle you have thousands of mortgages. Some of them are AAA, some of them are AA, some of them are B, and that's how... they were saying that the subprimes would be at that particular point. And the agency, I don't know if this actually happened, but in the movie it happened, the agency says that, well, if we don't give them a AAA, they're just going to walk down the street, which is going to block away, and the other agency is going to give it to them. Okay? So this kept going on, but this went on for two years when the market was falling apart. They showed that, you know, what it took to stay in this trade, they were sending people, you know, down into Florida, into Arizona, and when they were coming into these developments, right? One development had 225 houses. There were only four houses that were occupied. The houses that were occupied, the people were paying their rent, but of course, you know, the landlord wasn't paying it, and that trunch, all those mortgages were inside, you know, this one basically security. Then they showed, and this was the kicker man, then they went to the mortgage brokers, okay, that were selling the mortgages to Wall Street, and they were interviewing the mortgage brokers, and the mortgage brokers at that particular point were living high off the hog and beyond belief, and they asked them, they said, okay, you know, the brokers explained in that, listen, I'm selling to immigrants, I'm selling to strippers, I'm selling, there's nothing wrong with any of these people, I'm not saying that, but the bottom line, each one of these are buying five houses, right? And if they closed the house on a Friday, Wall Street would buy that mortgage off them on Monday, and if they sold them a regular conventional mortgage, right, the broker would, on a $500,000 house, the broker would only make $2,000. If they sold them an adjustable, they would make $10,000, and so the first guy that caught on to it was Michael Berry, and on these adjustables, they knew that they were going to readjust on 2007, and the rest, the rest is history. I'll come back to this in a second, but it was about as wild as you can get, because one of the best parts of the movie is actually the synthetic CDOs, and I'll explain what a synthetic CDO is when we come back.

Dow investors right now down 54 you get the Nasdaq off 4, S&Ps are up 7. So a CDO, CDO is collateral debt obligation folks, right? And those CDOs, they had to stop making those because they were bad, they were worse they couldn't put them in the mortgage back security so they decided to make a CDO. Now watch how this worked, this is amazing man. So let's picture that you and I are making a bet right? I think that something's going to go up you think that something's going to go down you know and the reality is that the first bet is 10 million dollars okay so you're going to the bank you think that this CDO has a bunch of junk in it and you feel that it's going to go down well the bank will take your money and you want to bet 10 million on it okay so you bet 10 million on it. At that particular point because the bank and other people at that particular point think that there's no way this is going down this is going to go up because it's a lopsided deal everyone thought it was a lopsided deal okay meaning that hey this is the banks thought it was a no-brainer I was going to sell these all day long well then what the banks decided to do is go market the CDO and say listen we have a client that just marketed this particular that just bought this particular trade and do you want to buy a trade on this trade so the first trade is out there at 10 million okay the next trade and the client would say yeah yeah I'll go 30 million on that one so I'm going to go 30 million at 3 to 1 okay so that's the synthetic CDO because the predication the predication is on the first CDO which is a synthetic CDO also okay but no no the first one wouldn't be the first one actually is trading on the CDO itself so you get the mortgage then you get what that mortgage what the CDO would do you get the CDO what the CDO would do the second one is on 30 million and then they did a third one then the third one at 50 million okay now these numbers I'm just giving you these numbers but percentage wise this is the this is how it shook out so now you have on one CDO that started that only has 10 million in it okay you're at approximately 100 million that's the derivative aspect of Wall Street that's the most of us know what the derivatives are you know that that's what you know that would end up bringing the whole system down okay so now picture that that's one portion of it the second portion and this is where this got really intriguing is that these two young guys that the name of the company was Brownfield these two young guys started in the garage with $110,000 they had brought $110,000 up to 31 million in four years by betting on events they used options to bet on long-term events that people didn't think could happen bottom line 31 million on Wall Street wasn't enough to get them where they wanted to be meaning that they wanted to do a bigger bet and you need a couple hundred million to do that well what happened is that one of the guy's neighbors had already retired from Wall Street because he's disgusted with it they call this guy up and they call him up and they explain what they think is the trade of the century but the trade they did is more intense the trade they did was picture inside of this mortgage-backed security you have the mortgage-backed security and they start out with double A's everyone was basically betting against the aspect of the whole trench going meaning the mortgage-backed security going and by the time that they really figured out what they wanted to do Wall Street was getting a little leery of basically going against the B's because they said they could probably go no one was going against the A's and what they figured out is that no the double A's I'm not double A's the double A's are also sub-prime so they call this guy Ben bottom line he listens he says yep he says you're right you're absolutely right we're going to do it they get together with him they shot the double A's now as they shot the double A's what does end up happening is this now this was right up until if you remember first it was Lehman that was going down the tubes okay then it was Bear Stearns okay right up to almost that day right they show the heartache that all these trades were because these trades were going on going on for about two years these guys had to come up with millions of dollars to stay in the trade right because Wall Street was so crooked that's the real bottom line and this is why this is what Wall Street did this is how it this Wall Street finally decided that oh no man we got to unload all of this junk to the public this is so disgusting it's unbelievable folks so what ends up happening is that they don't show how Wall Street unloaded it to the public okay but the bottom line they loaded it to the public by ETF structures all the rest of the above they have everyone buying buying buying and once Wall Street got as much out as they could they didn't get enough out because we know all the banks went corrupt and we you know went kabut and we had to come up with all the money meaning the tax payers so what ends up happening is that right as this was a week before bear shares went down still to that point their trade wasn't in the positive it's still been in the negative and they have one of these main guys up on a stage going against a bull and a bear and the bear is explaining that yes he's on that side but it's terrible because no one in the audience he has all the bankers in the audience and no one in the audience really understands that the whole economy is going to blow up the people going to lose their jobs people going to lose their houses all because of the fraud on Wall Street so as this is happening that was the day that Bear Stearns goes down 38% in 10 minutes when he's talking now Alan Greenspan was supposed to come up next while what they show is that everyone takes off out of the place the moderator is saying oh well we got Alan Greenspan coming up next the bottom line is that they were not only correct in the assessment the triple A's went as soon as the triple A's went and they showed out every single bank was still holding the bag on billions and billions and it was the banks that basically created all the product sold the product knew they were selling the product and here's the kick up out of all of the people and all the banks right went to jail and this was some poor guy from Credit Swiss that didn't mock to mock a 2 billion in months that he mocked them in the wrong way and they were showing that the banks were doing 20 million a day 20 billion a day like not even thinking about it now here's the real kick up folks the mortgage back securities are back well first you had the the banks beat all the regulation okay they took the money beat the regulation and the mortgage back securities with subprimes in them came back 2015 or 2015 they just named them something else take that after you're gonna be really yeah it's warped I was warped before but now I'm really warped on the banks stay right there folks who come right back get the dial down to 61 Nasdaq's off 22 S&P's are off 11 will come right back if

you by Vista Gold traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ welcome back folks a doubt down just was down 69 Nasdaq's of 24 S&P's are off 11 and a half and let's go take a look at this oil market because oil has been on a tear yeah it's on an ABC up already and this is following through so you got oil up to 15 for 113,000 contracts this big contract volume so bottom line this thing wants to move man and you remember some A to B equal C to D the A to B is normally a straight line move now this one here this how they ever did a retracement either you know this is a shot retracement it's I don't even think it's a 0.382 retracement yeah it was just a 0.382 so you get the what are we at it's 84 69 right so you got 15 yeah 77, 87, 93 you're at 87 right now in 93's game and you can see the expansion of volume is big man I mean you know we did was that yesterday even though it was close yeah I think it was so you get big volume happening here let's go to the XLE and see how that's shaking out in the XLE because pump wise we're going to be paying for fuel again evidently so the XLE let's put this on didn't do an ABC up on the daily let's take a look at the weekly and the weekly would be yeah it would be this week the shot week oh I see what you have here so you're definitely going for the highs the highs were 91, 95 94, 93 is the number now in the context of the XLE there's some divergence here and what it is is that it just doesn't have the volume right now I mean in fact it's dropping off pretty dramatically so we'll see how this shakes out because the last high so pitch this the first high in the XLE had 770 million the second high when we failed had 552 well we only came into that with 417 that's not how you end up breaking highs so it looks to me like it's going to get up there again but it doesn't look to me like it's going to hold that's how that's basically setting up right now let's go take a look at some of the high flyers well AMZN because now believe it or not you're going to start talking about holiday traffic you got Amazons down to buck 70 that has a high volume high though from a few few months ago let's see on a weekly what we're looking at so you're coming up to the the downdraft that's what's stopping on right now you want to see how ice holds it's pretty intense and you can see the same deal you know on the weekly you're coming down with 600 million and even when we went up we went up to 375 on the monthlies that's 1.4 now the monthly looks a little bit better it's still not as much 1.4 versus 1.2 last month and the 1.2 is going against 1.1 so the monthly doesn't look bad it's going to take a few more months though but Amazon has a few more months in order to get through this area let's go to Apple and take a look at Apple because Apple is going after these highs once again also Apple right now is just off its highs we put this on a monthly yeah see Apple broke its highs and broken with light volume on a monthly we did 1.3 billion versus 2.1 so I mean leave it at Apple Apple will probably test its highs and we're 189 you're talking about 198 but this is going to need a lot more juice in order to hold higher price and Google where Google is shaking out Google is going into 500 565 million with 463 which isn't about either now the animal Nvidia Nvidia put this on a monthly yeah man this is high volume high even this is parabolic but guess what that's a high volume high man so that's going to get tested again that's 502 we'll see where this shakes out but right now Nvidia you know if I take this see Nvidia it wouldn't be a abc up because when you do an abc up if they have big gaps which we have here you got to use the bottom of the gap you don't go all the way down to the end so I use the bottom of the gap you're going to see that when we went to a high we did a .76 retracement from the bottom of the gap to the high of not last high the high before that you come down that's not an abc up and Nvidia right now at these numbers now these are still trading at 112 forward pe but when you look at their revenue this is where this gets wild man you know they went from 7 billion to 13 billion they expect to go to 16 billion and next quarter and if we just talk about the next quarter 16 billion that's in 90 days that's the quarter coming up and they did only 16.7 billion all of 2021 and then that's on the gross if you look on what they're bringing down to the bottom line well they're bringing it to the bottom line too you know last year they made $3.24 they're doing 3 times that this year $10.64 so that doesn't look to me like that's done yet at all in fact because if you remember when Nvidia came out with their numbers they came out 2 billion more in 90 days than what they basically had said prior to that and what the analyst thought prior to that so yeah they're large numbers this is all about AI but guess what AI the spending is going to be a monster deal on AI and coming up the next quarter is going to be huge heads up to see if you get too follow if you get two quarters in a row where the spending on AI goes up that dramatically that's going to make a huge difference let's go take a look at the silver market out here because all these gold and silver stocks as I said at the beginning of the program are doing the exact same thing August 29th and August 25th so if we take a look at silver silver's coming back with 77,000 contracts silver maybe is 23rd let me say I have to go to the SLV for silver because that was changing contracts also so you get the SLV coming back with 6.1 million yeah you fill in this gap you're coming into 12 and 24 that gap looks like it's going to be filled stay right there folks come right back

today folks 104699 we've hit 104907 right now you're trading 104711 because you can see wherever the dollar goes like the first leg down on the dollar when it did give it up that's when you saw the S&P actually only go minus 2 the dollar goes back up and what ends up happening is that the S&P gets to it was bigger than that actually it was the S&P got down to this 4501 when it went back up it goes back down the S&P got to the 4520 so 9 points above we almost went flat now right now it's teetering once again it's at 104692 and the 104699 what that is folks okay that's the point that it's been tried to get to for quite some time not only what it did here and this is so deviant you broke with conviction it comes back up Friday before we took the Labor Day break right at the line and then today it not only blew by the line it blew by the line with strength meaning it was wide price spread it took out the swing point okay and that's the number I'm giving you is the 104699 so you can see how if you're trading foreign currencies you can get whipped like beyond belief as the S&P because it's going tick for tick for the S&P so where that dollar finishes out today that's where that market is going to finish out that dollar finishes above the 104699 you can expect the market to be down slightly you can see that it's not reacting heavily not that heavily but if it goes under that 104 699 you will see those S&P's turn positive have a great day have a safe day stay right there folks we got the think a swim coming up next then we get our man Mr. Larry Pezzavento Jacob's going to be doing my show this afternoon have a great one folks have a safe one
