It's this family friendly No way I Am Helplessly addicted to tears of the kingdom right now. Oh, sorry. That's not the right console And I know we all are addicted to tears of the kingdom right now. I can't stop playing this game It is so there's not a word I think a word needs to be invented to describe the magnitude of tears of the kingdom I'm gonna come up with it right now on the fly. This was not pre rehearsed. I hope I come up with something good it is Wow, it is so fracked barring good I'm also loving messing around in this game and building weird and wacky Things and we'll get to it But the other night I decided another way of getting around Hyrule is just Truck if there's one thing I've learned about my time living in the United States of America It's that trucking through the open land of It's that you gotta take some Sometimes you got to get on up with your trucker buddies. I made a truck in Zelda You can't even see link here. It just looks like I'm playing truck simulator But I don't just want to look at wacky things I've built I reached out to you guys on Twitter and asked to send me your funny builds or just things You've seen online and we're gonna look at a bunch of them today. This one is called a small boat Just a little I could have It's just two logs in a couple of fans. Yeah, it's just a boat guys. I oh Sorry, I was just Zoned out playing more tears of the kingdom You might be wondering how I have so much free time to play the game hours on end or how I'm managing to stay fit And healthy in the meantime. Well good news when you eat delicious fresh Chef prepared bills trying to make sure she doesn't get any of it like factor Eating is not only simple, but I'm really worried that you're gonna eat it factor makes meeting your nutrition goals Easier than ever by delivering fresh never frozen dietitian-approved meals right to your doorstep They have a team of gourmet chefs preparing this completely fresh takes literally two minutes in the microwave to heat up You don't really even have to hit pause on the game if you don't want you'll be back in no time They even this is the first time they've sent these I've got new keto shakes I've got a chocolate brownie and keto lime pie only two grams of car no added sugar and 12 grams of protein I mean, is there anything they can do and if you're thinking about calories like I do don't worry Each of these calorie smart meals are like 500 calories or less not only keto and calorie smart They have vegan and veggie and protein plus.

You know that I Know what that means. Oh The sign guy might be my favorite part of this gate. Oh wait hold on a second. Oh No, oh no the comedic timing on that Unforgivable dude, you couldn't animate that to be any better the way everything exploded Oh, I'm so glad I reached out to you guys for this. All right. What do we go?  I'm gonna get my reading glasses for this one. All right, so it's few mine carts Attached together by a tree log Oh Oh There Oh, what you can do that you can cook on top of one of the dragons What a scenic way to make a stew done by me I love this because it's the stupid things my community has made I want to look at some of the ones that have blown up online, but I want to see what my community has done Okay, I don't Why are there wheels on top? The wheels on top seem kind of useless You could have used those for that though. Did you you need perpendicular wheels? You need wheels everywhere Yo, I love the creativity though. That was really clever. Oh man Seeing what people have built make me so happy.  No way. I need to do this Whoa, that's so smart too to zip up to the driver seat. No way Yo, this is actually Nutty, I mean once you're flying it you kind of don't see the whole thing. Okay. Whoa. Whoa Oh, it's got like like automatic lasers on it. Yo, that might be a little spoiler for me Oh, it is like locking on and shooting things in the air But also automatically picking up the items that you get too.  What was the word I made up for it vlog No, I don't even remember if you can't have fun with this game. I think your imagination is is is I think you have I think your imagination is poo poo. I think you have poo poo imagination I will admit if you want to go back in time to 15 year old me playing my favorite zelda games and be like This is zelda in 2023. Just no context. I would probably say to myself Okay, I think it's time to find a new franchise to like because they clearly ruin this one And I don't want to get to attach to it now. So I think I'll become a mario guy I'll ask him. Can I see the new mario and I'll see odyssey and be like, oh, yeah, that's the mario I like I can't I can't wait for that.  I already got here just a simple Broken But didn't really all right. You lost one You lost one. You know the thought was there this game is one of two ways and that's usually the one that goes for me All right, we're flying we're going up. We're spinning around. Yo, we're doing a loop Oh, can you oh, I was hoping he was gonna stick it The whole thing would come back around he'd land on it again and keep going. Is it a plane? Is it a rocket? Is it superman? What are you? What are you making here? Clearly struggling with the The rotation mechanics Oh, no. Oh, is that supposed to be a person? Did you just set the pee pee on fire?  I think the fans are butt cheeks. I think do we have to blur this out? Is this family friendly? Oh, no, so for reference here, we have the classic scene from austin powers I forgot how ridiculous that scene is Yeah Yeah Yeah, turning in this game isn't exactly a strong point Everyone's done this one of the first things everybody did was strap rockets to a mine cart and a mine cart to a weapon And a mine cart to a shield. We've had a lot of fun with mine carts Oh my god, uh-oh, uh-oh Whoa, yeah, it didn't really work out for you.  There's a how to make it and everything. Oh, this is very similar to what I made Oh, it has a video too. Oh, he made a pickup truck. This seems like a southern song That was terrible that was you can cut it zack you can cut it. It's fine. All right. What else have we got over here though? Oh, you're taking that guy for a ride. You got a passenger. Oh I hope it drop him Drop him. Nope Oh, he's he had enough. Oh good. Oh goody. Here it is You know, I will give this credit actually from a comedy standpoint This clip is perfect. The balls are bombs very smart But the way that they shatter everything except the head is so Beautifully comedic and then to have the head face first in frame on fire And by the way on fire because the tip of the pp snaps off This could have been a more perfect video clip for humor at what point should we stop asking if and start asking why Oh my god. Yeah, why? Oh, that's why When that battery kicks in and you see this start to take off like a jet And now my guy is too creative for the amount of battery You have the blood moon over the top of this makes it even more demonic sandy scott My guy, you have some things to work out. Oh, no The amount of cork abuse in this game is so unfortunate and I'm not not at fault I was trying so long to build a flying machine with rockets to get over there I just couldn't make it work and then eventually I was like, what if I just strapped a rocket to the guy All right, we're good. It's good chat. It's all good. Say hi to your friend for me It never gets old for me. All right, but yeah, what happens here to this guy Oh, wait, why is there a bomb rocket at the top? Wait, wait, why did you put a bomb rocket at the top?  I like the self-awareness of the person playing to be like, I'm just gonna stop and let this happen Don't do this to corks people. No Why you're spit roasting them. That's so cruel. Oh, it's a whole montage of things No I just I feel like some people really enjoys out a different way to me You know what I mean, it took me longer to figure out ultra hand than I admit What did you even attempt to do?  That's horrible For a second, I thought maybe it would propel you over and it would be a happy accident Actually, now I think about it That could be an interesting way of breaching gaps bringing a giant rock and just dropping it on a platform and just I kitted this wing with the firepower of a small country. Oh Oh, it is burning through those batteries so quick Tell me how this is zelda Oh my god Some of y'all are deranged Is anyone actually even playing the game anymore like with swords and shields and and and arrows and Adventuring the way that we're supposed to or is everyone building battle bots. Oh come on.  I have to try this. I actually am speechless at this one You have found a way to kill a high note with a giant rotating floating penis. Are you for real? This is zelda in 2023. You don't even have to swing a sword. Dude. He's already in a car He's already in a car.  I actually have been trying to beat this dragon Link is a god in this game. This is the most powerful link There is no way there is any argument that matpat or anyone else could ever make that any other link is more powerful The things that you can do in this game Kim showed me this one. This is one that kim showed me I will probably get demonetized for the music, but it fits so well That little guy is just out of there.  Oh, no, this one's gonna Spin around, isn't it? I know they're not real, but neither is rocket in gods of the galaxy 3 Doesn't this break your heart as he's flying away. He's like, thank you for helping me find my friend Oh This now this this I like this is what gets my brain gears turning. This is very smart What I don't know. You could do this wait. You can wait What I have so many questions the way that he's tapping it. This is like a hack almost I've got to try this Well, you remember breath of the wild where even like now on our timelines will get I had no idea you could do this in breath of the wild as a video And then you'll see something you've never seen before there are things people are finding out about that game still today And now with this game that it's like five times the game all these different things you can craft and make and and stick to your Weapons and different effects. We're gonna be finding things out about this game 10 years from now 10 years from now We'll see a video I had no idea you could do this in the retro game tears of the kingdom And then a bunch of comments will be kids being like, oh, that's one of those zelda games I remember when my dad used to play those it's a shame what happened to nintendo My dad said I've never been able to look at me and moto the same way since the allegations That took a weird turn mistakes were made. I mean, this is looking sick so far Yeah, this is fine. What's wrong with this? Oh, yeah Oh As much as I do love this country and I am a proud member of the united states of america now I am a citizen. Yes. Thank you if you didn't know. Yes. Thank you I will say it's very telling when you see a tick tock that has american flags on it And the content of it is a small plane strapped with bombs. Let's see where this is headed Okay, there was one that I did see in here that I missed today somehow, but someone made a lawnmower I love ones like that because it means nothing.  All right. We're gonna build a semi truck We could put some supplies in here and see if we can carry them to another location. Now. We'll seal it up. That's our cargo Oh, I think I was a little too rough with my cargo. I don't know what's actually going on. Okay. I need to be more gentle with the The beat-em-ups ratmobile semi truck Carrying fruits and vegetables for the gore and city folk. Let's drive this soccer into town And drop off our fruits and veg Rolling on it Run and we're not in any way a hazard to the environment So this is what I'm talking about. I fire you in zelda. Sorry. I'm not playing zelda right now I'm playing truck simulator 2023. I also tried making a really fast motorbike Oh wait, wait. Hey, that actually kind of works I Yes, yes Oh, it's actually pretty fast. I mean, this is the way to get around. I just need two wheels And a steering wheel a pona. Who am I right? And then I wanted to try building a uh, like a jet plane Like a big actual commercial airliner situation and it kind of worked Just like the Wright brothers in in 1867 We are setting out on our first flight Oh my god, my battery's burning so quick Oh my god It actually does fly And it's honestly kind of book in it It's kind of book in it And I can shoot that guy from it too. Oh, that's so cool though All right. Oh, can I kill this thing? Come on. Let me kill it. Yo Oh If you guys have more clips you want to send me Please do I'll react to them again in a video if you want to keep watching me play through the game I'm still playing through it on twitch There's a lot of game left to play a lot of streams to be had twitch.tv forward slash beat em ups Come hang out make sure to check out the sponsor of this video And hey, again, if you had a good time hit it with a like and leave a comment down below Let me know what you're loving about zelda this game It's so good and funny and fun My god, I could watch these clips all day. I might actually keep watching them


All right folks good afternoon here and welcome on back here this Tuesday afternoon shortly after 230 still this August 1st top of the month once again to all of our students and members alike inside our live trading room we have Rod Ira just before Charles Roger Bell Grant Scott and a lot of us still with us here Michael and Ravina included and Lawrence and perhaps more of us joining us right now live but perhaps otherwise just joining us on social media Facebook live LinkedIn Twitter YouTube the works we have a lot to discuss as I always say but that's always the case here this afternoon because you know typically we'll recap the movers that we caught from the morning session we'll take a look at a few stocks here this afternoon we'll start off with what's on the screen here so RGTI nice little push so far perhaps a bit of a tease to begin right ended up making a nice little pop though after it ended up breaking above three so easy to say but the first test of resistance off of three it looks like it just held perfect yep just kissed it right there bounced right off then on just the next test even though perhaps you could still expect some turbulence some resistance around there like a false breakout or so it made a very very efficient breakout so even from there it just never really pulled back down to three just kind of kept going and going up towards 325 323 definitely for right now gonna put this on our main watch list to begin right RGTI just stock at the highs good order book it's cheap certainly has made a nice move even beginning from like end of june time so you know when is it gonna top well that's the same question you could ask on like all these other trades that we've been calling out you could ask that on Tupper from last week you could ask that on Carvana last month you could ask that on AI two months ago we'll get to all those trades in just a moment but you know hey looking at the historical chart for right now it looks like a bottomed out roughly around 360 ish 380ish perhaps back you know beginning of last year so don't hold your breath waiting for that 360 to 380 but it's definitely in good shape looking at the daily chart looking at the intraday chart here the one minute chart here so for right now I'll put this on our watch list I shall keep it on the weekly because what we'll do is go through a few other trades here you know stocks that ended up doing pretty nicely from the morning session this one I just want to show briefly as we go from top to bottom 80 mp we're not going to trade this but you know just I want to show it because it was a similar stock from yesterday ended up getting halted incessantly over and over and over and you can't trade it you know you don't want to trade a stock that's too small cap or too low float too illiquid on the order book mainly here looking at the big spread scarce volume out there that's extremely dangerous so for anyone that like promotes that type of trading I mean everyone has their own level of risk degree of risk but we're not trying to kill ourselves out there to flip a profit so you know if you rolled the dice if you went to the casino on this stock as I like to say good for you but for right now even this MSGM there's a couple of these that look like this right now at the highs this is also pretty illiquid so you got to be very careful on this type of trade here too looking at the order book the big spread very scarce volume out there as well but train a lot more volume across this smaller time frame so hopefully the order book does fill in a lot better on this trade seemingly it's having a tough time breaking off of like the recent set of highs it was building like 850 ish yeah like basically 850 there if anything look for a pullback maybe you could find support to build once again off of like 711 or otherwise 735 ish I'll put it on our main list for right now I like the RGTI a lot more though probably like this yell yell trade still the only gripe I have on yell is that prior to today and prior it's like the last couple of days it was trading you know a few million shares here and there which is very tradeable by all of our standards here at CTU good order book all that good stuff but when it already made such a big pump just from yesterday and then today of course when is it going to begin to pull back well it's at the highs here looking at the one minute chart still pretty much near the highs so I'm not going to write it off just yet I'll come back to it if anything not fully convinced with putting this on the main list just yet looks really flat so I think that most of this move is finished up at least if not all and if anything I'll come back if I need to say the same on ID AI even more so so I'm actually not going to put this on a list at all but I know what goes up comes back down ah the AMSC here so of course we got to talk about this one so let me clear all my crappy lines though for right now you can see the AMSC trade ended up having that big pump early in pre-market hours but I think there could be a lot more left on this trade like long term or short term so to say like next few weeks and months ahead just in terms of seeing this build support here across the chart it's been making nice trend and moving back up to 16 so could it be a good day trade at this point into the close I do think so the order book is definitely thin I mean hey if I'm putting MSGM on the watch list and it has that type of order book I think AMSC looks great as far as a chart it's not necessarily at like the highs of the day obviously but beautiful move back up for right now and we'll see if it can keep going superconductor stock that's been the uh big hype and you know big hot sector so to say we're emerging coming up over the next few weeks and months ahead some big headlines out with that and I will say the headlines are way above my pay grade don't ask me to recite them just we follow the smart money here so you know if I see a headline I'm not going to just jump into a trade but if there is good volume behind it sparks good conviction for us then rbt I haven't seen this trade until right now stock ended up doing well yesterday too another like pump from 70 up to like 120 and within like 48 hours I'll write it down for the side list here rbt come back to if I really need to but I'll pass top I just got out on a small trade here on Tupperware just earlier I took a little money from like a trade from earlier across the morning session it just failed to really break out higher just here so I was saying a moment ago if it wasn't going to break over for uh if it wasn't going to break over 554 and make a big move up then it's not good news I actually in fact wrote it that way I was like you know if it stays above 554 it's good if it's below 554 it's bad so you know I saw a break under 554 I said you know what let's take the money and run to be responsible here and you know for right now just I'm going to keep this on the side list not really convinced of a big pop back up just yet if it ends up popping during this meeting folks then you certainly let me know that's where we work together as a team here between you and I and see what else we can do here right now ARQQ it's at the highs don't get me wrong it's got a lot of volume for it to cut through there's a lot that I'm going to put on this proverbial side list right now folks so you know we're probably going to jump back to a few trades at the end collectively and now we got three on the main list so far and RGTI looks good that AMSC I'm more you know hopeful and I think that I have a good intuition on it but you got to be careful on that one QUBT scene dealing this it's just pretty tired right now I think there's just a bunch of big orders out there in order for it to break over I feel like it's a tough ask right now looking even more so on level four all right so I'll tell you what even more so here we need to work together as a team because there's a lot more that's up percentage wise but you know really some names I'm not really too familiar with I haven't really seen here like TTI THRM OSK so I'll jump to Benzinga myself to wrap it up but there's anything else that you see right now that looks good you know chart wise type it in I'm just checking out Blue Apron here familiar name not really looking too good but you know those the types of stocks I want to just turn to stocks we've seen make a big move in the past really not a whole lot else out there across the gainer side from my side of things that I see like looking at like a name brand stock or something we're familiar with and that's okay you know so far so good we got three on the main list so far let's hop over to the loser side here TGTX I'm tradeable but it made most of its move already from the morning session dropped off and was a great short and was as good of a dead cap bounce from roughly around 10 broke a little bit below it but then end up finding that good support off 10 later on so a great trade you know write it down for your side list tomorrow perhaps so likely have similar volatility to it HLIT not really doing so much there SILV is this an ETF or is this a company yeah it's a company not an ETF so we'll take a look at a stock like Pan American Silver kind of similar silver stock at least you know not really down as much not really at the lows like this is but this is like watching paint dry here right I'm watching the grass grow for a potential breakdown see a new short you know just to see support off of 450 but I'm going to pass on it I want something a little bit quicker a little bit something faster NCLH you know made its move earlier today too similar drop off off from earnings and made a good dead cap bounce perhaps but I feel like it's just going to kind of tire out now heading into the final 75 or some minutes left all right so I mean I tell you just from doing this as much as I've been doing in here I might look lazy but there really isn't too much else out there that is like a really standout name of course right as I say that for any of my longtime members here that's typically where I run right into a trade that does look viable and does look all right and I'm starting to look at this Zi's I just turn to it there right so it's pulling back a little bit it's not really at the you know session lows off of 1856 got a little ways to go to get there but it is trending down somewhat nicely it has a great order book does have an iceberg on the bid to act as big support here at $18.80 so if you're asking like hey does this provide an opportunity well you have a big level you have a trend it is easy to borrow on trade station and it has a liquid order book so all of that does check off it's not really at like the session lows or whatnot but you know what I think there we go just in typical afternoon meeting fashion right as we say there's nothing left from the loser side we run right into something so don't mind if I do there we go Roberto no worries my friend we're gonna look to post this watch list just as soon as I finish flapping my gums here all right so if there's anything else folks that you see up down left right more than 5% that you'd want me to look at take a look at here just check out let me know I'll post my email address here inside our streams right now on social media facebook live linkedin etc etc just any questions that you got from me send over a quick email josh is ct trading calm otherwise of course we encourage and invite you to join our live trading room just scan that qr code with your phone right there get access to a week long trial inside our live trading room now with that said let's jump to benzinga what do we got here folks anything good from benzinga right now before Fausto's class quick reminder again for all of our gold platinum and diamond students you have the phase three stock course lined up at 305 eastern time so that's the advanced trading class with Fausto he's basically looking at everything I'm putting on this list gotta build out a good list I gotta impress the guy there right I don't want him to work off a crap watch list there so let's see if there's anything good here so far ASPI I'll take a look at it yeah no no no no all right so I think that we're pretty much finished up here folks I'm gonna just check out the ones I wrote down on the side list here at the end and that's gonna do so MNK that's a no go RBT was at the highs right this was at least right at the highs and trading nine and a half million shares right now which is definitely a lot compared to what it mainly does on a day-to-day basis I know just the last week or so it looks like it exploded in volume I'm saying before that time so that's still a lot and for as much as it moved up already it's a tough ask but it's in better position compared to a lot of other trades so you know what I'll slip this on there RBT the yellow trade it is flat don't get me wrong but I reckon I could put this on our main list here it's just still you know not really making a lower low as of now the ARQQ kind of similar deal with this as the RBT right this one really hasn't exploded in volume as much the last few days or the last week like that other one you know you had a couple big days here but otherwise today's the first standout day in a little while so perhaps there could be more to come on this all right I'll add this one as well ARQQ what else what was the last one there Tupperware right that's a no go all right I'm happy I got out to broke lower all right so in total folks we got two four six six stocks to work with I think there was one remaining here from our side list Peloton I wanted to check out quickly I think one of our students asked about that it's going nowhere right now it's not up or down anything right now I'm going to pass on it PBR from Ira same deal on this this is just such a heavy volume stock it's going to require a lot for this to actually make a big push upward it's just you know a sideless stock it's just you know this is you could kind of compare this to so many different stocks out there you want something that's more bang for your buck something that's up or down a lot we teach this all throughout the phase one stock for Cyra right in terms of building out our watch lists across the morning or the afternoon so honestly this is not something I'd be as jumpy towards GDRX for Mike same deal here pass on it I mean if it's shortable it could be a good short short should it break lower but there's better trades right now folks RGTI ZI even that ARQQ RBT perhaps that AMSE Larry says before we finish up I got to make sure that all of you get ready for class coming up here and again as a trial member here joining our live trading room I had a couple questions about this just now just make sure that you get in touch with your education advisor they're the middle man and more or middle woman between you and Fausto where they'll be able to break down just how the classes work just what's included with each course package so I'm going to post our office phone number right here for any of our trial members that were just chatting me on that and then just give a call to them if you haven't scheduled that appointment but from Larry he's asking what do you make on the volume on RGTI every 10 cents well I know Larry's a student my was a longtime student CT he knows we was asking and talking about here and yeah roughly just about every 10 cents loosely speaking you tend to see some sort of level but you know you could even go every five cents on this right like roughly loosely speaking you know rule of thumb every five or so cents you could probably see some larger order out there focus if you have book map Larry focus on the whole number like three but then otherwise just to see where the larger order is out there let me if I can Larry pull up RGTI and book map as I'm flapping my gums here going overtime before Fausto's class guess what's popping back up right now Tupperware so I guess it pays to keep talking right so Tupperware I'm going to slip back on our main list look at this nice little pop back up and over towards I should say my 554 line so still not out of the doghouse yet for that Tupperware for that to be a really good trade it's got a bust over that 554 Larry on RGTI it's really just three and like 325 330 that's it folks we're going to finish up right now there is nothing else left and I could just tell you from my side of things we're going to finish up I want to make sure that students like Ira and Larry and Michael and over gold and platinum and diamond students have a chance to get access to Fausto's class again the phase three stock course live trading you're going to get to see Fausto pull the trigger just based off these stacks here all right so hey best of luck trading going into the market close Rich will be on the mic just in about 15 or so minutes here for all of us right now take


Anyone who fulfills the needs and the wishes of their believers, Allah will fulfill their wishes. Asking others to pray for ourselves and the fulfillment of our needs is highly recommended. Specifically, certain examples of people. Those who are ill, the Salat al-Imam says, when you go and visit someone who is ill, ask them to pray for you because there will be no one in that setting whose dua will be more answered than the person who is ill. Than the person who is suffering with illness. You have for example parents. If your parents are still alive, ask them to pray for you. A lady who is about to give birth in labor. Her dua is what? Answered by Allah. Someone whose heart is broken. Because the Hadith of Qudsis says, I am with those whose hearts are broken. Hearts broken because of injustice. Hearts broken because of wrongdoing. Not hearts broken because a lover has left them. There is a difference. So when that person is there, ask for dua. Or someone who has gone through oppression and injustice like a team or a poor person. Their dua maybe will be answered by Allah SWT. These are examples of people. And as well, if your parents are passed away to go at their grave and to ask Allah at their grave. Rarations of the Animate says at the grave of the parents, dua will be answered as well. Many other examples. You see this? But there is a very important deed that will end with. This is key. Four. And that is what? And that is fulfilling the needs of others. If you want God to give you what you want, you have to be his agent in fulfilling the needs of others. Meaning what? Servitude. Meaning helping people in need. Or those who come to ask you for assistance and want some relief. Sometimes, when we are given this opportunity, we think of it as doing a favor to that person, isn't it? When someone comes to us, asking for help, for example, I may be fixing their dunya, but they're fixing my akhira. It is a gift from Allah that someone asks you for help. It is an opportunity to serve. Indeed, we are told this is a very critical, important prerequisite that the believers need to demonstrate in order that the Almighty, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, gives them what is good for them. That's why you find that the Ahlul Bayt, Anayum As-Salaam, were brilliant examples of this particular element, that you saw that their altruism and their sacrifice for the others was something that was unmatched and unparalleled in every individual, you see, constantly thinking of others before themselves. وَيَوْطْعِمُونَ اَطْعَامَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ مِسْكِينَمْ وَيَتِيْمَنْ وَأَسِيرَمْ Famous story that we are told in Surah Al-Qudsal. Each and every member of the Ahlul Bayt had their own collection of stories in relation to how they would look at others before they look at themselves. And they were the masters of servitude towards others. This highlights to us what? This highlights to us the key aspect within the religion of Islam of community service of assisting others. And why this is important? Maybe some of the elders, majority of the elders are aware of this, but our youngsters we need to look at this as well. Getting back to the community, making it second nature, making something that I don't have to do but I normally do because I want to do. In any shape or form, whether it's contribution in the community, whether it's in the madrasa, whether it's in the running of the program, whether it's in future projects and initiatives, even if it is in general society helping out at the local hospital, helping out the homeless, assisting others in any denomination, any religion, as human beings. This is great in the eyes of God. Sometimes people wonder why I'm sitting at home and I'm asking and asking and asking and I keep asking and I don't see fruits and results. We need to get out there. We need to get out there and do and walk the walk, not just talk the talk. That is very, very important. That's why someone came to Imam Ja'far bin Muhammad al-Sadaq, peace be upon him. And when they came to the Imam, what did they say? They said, I'm the messenger of Allah. I live in the city of Ahwazi in Iran and you know, there is a governor there who is a lover of yours and he has my name on the register of those who have to pay a lot of taxes and I just can't afford it. I'm heavily in debt. Can you do something? Imam al-Sadaq wrote a letter but the letter contained one sentence. It says, anyone who fulfills the needs and the wishes of their believers Allah will fulfill their wishes. That's it. Give this. So the man takes the letter, goes back to Ahwazi and met the Imam in Hajj. He goes back to the city of Ahwazi and what did they write? Knocks on the door of the governor. The maid of the seventh opens. Can I help you? He says, I have a letter from Sadiq and Ali Muhammad. When the governor has this rush his barefoot comes out. Where is it? Give it the letter to me. He takes it, he kisses it. He says, welcome, welcome. Come inside. He sits next to him. He opens the letter, finds it has only one sentence. He understands that this man has come with needs. He has needs. He asks him, what is it that you need me to do? He says, look, I'm heavily in debt and I'm one of those who have to pay a lot of taxes to you. Can you help, you know, reduce the taxes? He asks for the book that contains the names of people who have to pay. He comes, he takes saliva and he rubs out the name of this person. Then he says to his servant. He says to me, bring to me half of my money that I have in this house.  This is also for you. Have I fulfilled your wish that man is deeply embarrassed? He says, you've done much more than that. I didn't expect you to delete my name and I didn't expect you to give me all this. Next year he goes to Hajj. That same man who's filled, Hajj had to fulfill. He comes to Imam Sadiq. Imam says, did he fulfill your needs? He says, he did much more than that. Imam Hussein smiling. The man said to him, why are you smiling? He says, by God he has pleased me. By God he has pleased Rasulullah. By God he has pleased Allah. The idea for that emergency is we develop that particular understanding of servitude. Servitude towards whom? Towards others. Servitude towards the needy. Servitude towards those who request help from us in order for us to see the fruits of our dua and our supplication. And I ask you when you look at people around the Ahlul Bayt, they demonstrated this.


Good morning everybody, my name is Jigar and I am going to present about Drupal UI Patterns, component-driven development in Drupal and I am from Evolving Web, I have been working with them for the last three years. Evolving Web is a medium-scale Drupal shop located in Omo Trail. We've been into Drupal like we've been doing Drupal for over a decade now, it will be our 12th anniversary in July and we are a team of 15 Drupalists and we are hiring so if anybody is interested in working with us you can send us a mail and we do Drupal training and we also contribute to like a bunch of open source projects including Drupal so we have submitted modules, patches and plugins etc. It comes to me, I am Jigar and I am a full-stack developer. I've been doing PHP since 2009 and I started doing Drupal in 2013 and I didn't switch tracks, like I used to do Presta shop and Coding Night here and other things but I like Drupal so much I stuck with it and it's going well with it. So I've been working with Evolving Web like I mentioned since 2016, three years and recently I've started exploring Ruby and Python and if you want to learn about my adventures you can simply look for Jigarius. That's my screen name, Gaius Jigarius Kaisa and Mikhail Hauskins is my colleague who helped me prepare the slides but unfortunately he decided not to present this session so very like I'm very thankful to Mikhail for having helped me prepare this presentation. So without further ado let's take a look at what component-based software engineering is. So this school of thought like promos the idea of thinking of a system which in our case will be a website to like we are supposed to think of it as a bunch of small pieces, components working together to make the system and so how does this help? Like it helps us separating the concerns and go for like a more modular approach to development. So for example if you're building a button set like three buttons side by side so we can think of it as two components the button component which is only concerned about how the button is and then the button set component which actually takes three buttons and puts them together and it is worried about how the buttons will appear side by side and it can also think about like if it's a mobile device then it will show the buttons one below the other etc so like we have a separation of concerns there like the button thinks about button, button set thinks about the button set so how does this help? Like this helps make code more manageable so you don't have all the CSS and all the JavaScript in one single place you have separation like button.css you have button set.css and so on so you can like if you see something is wrong with button set you go edit the button set and so on so it also promotes a reuse based approach so many of us might have like used views and say you're using a view to create like a list of cards and you do it for a view which is showing like a set of nodes and you must have noticed that the class names on the view are different so more often than not the front end developer usually uses the like class names like view type content etc for adding the styles but then say later in the project we decide there's one more entity type say taxonomy terms and we want to show a list of cards for taxonomy terms so when you create a view for taxonomy terms if like the thing wasn't done in a right way then more often than not you will need to make some changes to the CSS to make it work with the taxonomy term because the classes are different and in the future if you add some more view then you'll have to make some minor tweaks to make it work as well so if you're using like component-based approach and with UI patterns I have used it a couple of times and it actually helps with this so when you create a new view you simply tell it I want to show these things as cards and magically it all works like you go to the page for the first time and it is perfectly styled so what is Drupal UI patterns it's a module which aims at promoting like aims at bringing component-based development to Drupal so instead of calling them components we call them UI patterns in this module and it helps us like get why should we be why should we be worried about using like UI patterns in our development cycle so the first thing is like I mentioned it helps you reuse things so you build once and then you use it multiple times and also you get to decouple the data layer from the presentation layer so there can be a front-end developer who builds all the components and they use dummy data for it and they can do CSS and even Javascript for behaviors and then when the backend is ready you simply tell views okay I'm rendering this view using a UI pattern so that when you map the fields to the right fields and everything is working so it helps you do both backend and front-end development simultaneously to an extent and then you get to maintain an inventory of components which you can then share across projects also like you create a card collection then you can share it with the other project so you magically have card collections in the other project so it is very helpful in this way and then you have standardized appearance and behavior of elements so for example if someday you decide how many of you have used Photoshop or anything similar like you can group things together and then when you change one thing the styles get applied everywhere so it's like symbols in Adobe Illustrator so you decide to change the heading size for a card you do it once and all the cards are suddenly updated because you're using the same thing across all pages so now let's see some code I'll be showing you a demo of like around three to four UI patterns which I made for like a small website that I was building and a blog article that I was writing so to get started with UI patterns the first thing you need to do is install the model you take a look at which modules like in a in an instant and then you start with a custom theme or a module in which you are going to place your custom code for the patterns so basically you create a directory in that team or module called patterns and in it you make your patterns each pattern is like a directory inside it you have a YAML file which is like the declaration you'll see all this and you also have a template file where you tell like tell Drupal I'm going to like this is how the pattern looks this is the template for the pattern and then you also have a page where you can see a list of all the patterns so let's see how the code looks so for this demo like I have prepared this team called admin Michiel has prepared this team called admin and in it I have a patterns folder there are people who call a GUI underscore patterns but I chose patterns so in it I have say five components in here let's take a look at blog quote and in the blog quote pattern we have some css for the pattern we have a metadata file which is patterns.yaml and we have a template file so let's open this up and this is heavily commented because this code is available with the blog post that I wrote you can find it on evolvingweb.ca slash blog and in here like this is the machine name for the component that you're defining there's a human readable label a description and variants will get to it like in a vial then you define fields so each field has to have a type which is currently only used for documentation there's no validation or anything going on and there's a label there's a description a preview text which will be used on the pattern library page we'll take a look at it also and I have three fields here like a content attribution and citation and at towards the bottom I also have a library's declaration where I'm defining a css file and pairing it up with this UI pattern so let's take a look at all this in action so okay chrome doesn't show me the address bar so if you go to this page here you can see that all my patterns are here so if I click on blog quote this is the like all the things that I define in the backend and you also see a preview of the pattern with the styles that I define so after you define a pattern you need to clear cache and then you'll start seeing these things on the patterns library page and to get get to this this is the basic like output you can get from the UI patterns like just getting your patterns detected you need these modules like UI patterns and you need UI patterns library and you also need to check this one so that it defines like it picks up the YAML sorry the tweak file definitions if I'm not wrong so once you enable these you get this page you get to this page and besides like you don't only want to declare the patterns you also want to use them so to use them you can enable the other patterns which are like bridges and they're connectors with like the display suite module the field groups field group module and the views module we'll take a look at that also so for now we just enable these modules and we're good to go so in here we'll also take a look at the other patterns like this is just a link pattern which is not going to be used as a standalone pattern usually but it will be used from within other patterns I'll show you so this here is a card collection and I have created variants for it so what are variants variants are like multiple versions of a pattern and for example for the card collection I have defined six variants each of them being the number of columns that the collection has so this is the one column variant where you see all the items are appearing in one column and then the second variant is two columns so here you see like two column appearance of the cards and then here it is three columns I don't know why this image has not loaded correctly and then you also see which four etc and then finally these are the other patterns that I have remarkably like a note this noteworthy pattern here like a card it is using something called nested patterns so you have a card pattern in it you are calling the link pattern that I just showed a while back so from within the card you are generating a link so you are nesting patterns one inside the other so this is very cool and you can also go to multiple levels of nesting for example this is the card collection in it we have cards and each card has links so it's like three levels of nesting you can go even beyond that so these are my patterns now I'll take a quick look what you're doing here so we saw the pattern library and now let's see like we have defined the pattern but let's see how to use it so to put it to use we enable the other helper modules that we saw the bridges the connectors so the first thing you'll see is how to use UI patterns with display suite so what I'll be doing is I'll be configuring the article content type in such a way that the teaser view of the article will be rendered using a card so basically when you go to a views page with a list of article teasers you will see a list of cards so let's take a look at that so no code for this you just define the pattern and the rest is basically UI like the Drupal admin UI so I'll go to articles I'll go to manage display and in here I don't do anything to the default view because I am concerned with the teaser so in the teaser view I have basically chosen generic card here I can even choose block code or anything else I want so after I select this and I say I'll get this new UI which will let me map like put a bunch of fields into the predefined fields that the fields that we define in the UI pattern itself so I drag the title of the node into the title area I drag the body into the summary and I make sure it's streamed to 150 characters and image URL I just rendered the image and so I do the same with the read more link so here like sometimes you will find that you you want some data from the node which is not available as fields like these are the things which are available so that's not the end of the world like there is this display suite module which has a cool feature where you can define token based like fields based on tokens so I can say create a field which applies to nodes and I can like add some tokens and after I save this field it will be available on the other page that we were on where you can simply like drag this and use this in your pattern so after I do this and I go to my like I have three articles on the side and one landing page so when I go to the article page it's all the regular old page but when I go to the list of teasers for the articles I have all these things which are rendered as UI pattern like the cards that we define so and the link words the image words you can like also add a link to the image and so on like you can even make the image optional and things like that so if you remove the images it will become like text cards and the stylus are applied this and like in the same way across our pages so now more often than not we are building landing pages complex landing pages and we are giving the admins an option to like say create a landing page then have a field called sections where they can add whatever they want like a collection of cards they can add a block code they can add a wide image so we can also do that kind of stuff with this UI patterns so for example I have configured some paragraphs here like paragraph plus UI patterns is a very powerful combination so I have defined a paragraph type for block code and a card and a card collection and in the block code for example for each of these paragraphs I basically created the fields that I need to populate the data in the pattern so here we have attribution and body and in the managed display this time in the default view I have applied the block code component UI pattern and I've dragged the relevant fields into the right places so after I did that for this I also did for the other paragraph types card collection is kind of complex because it contains a collection of other cards so I defined a paragraphs field and each of these paragraphs field represents a car and this title is the card collection title so we'll take a look at all this in action I hope I'm not going too fast I lost 15 minutes doing the like a projector setup so I'm kind of but let me know if I'm going too fast so in content types I defined the landing page and for landing page I defined a sections field which is again a paragraph reference field and in here I enabled the block code and the card collection patterns so now to see this in action I'll edit this landing page that I made this morning so I add a title that's all regular old stuff then I have a block code pattern in which I can add an attribution I can add a body and I have a card collection where I can add like multiple cards I've added three here and I can also add other like patterns which I might have configured so I can add one more block code and I like say and we say and when I save it you'll see that magically everything appears like as UI patterns and it is perfectly styled is the card collection title is the new block code that I added and so you have the ability to create dynamic landing pages and you like style it once and it works everywhere so this is how you use it but display suite and let's go back to the presentation so the next topic will be UI patterns with views like so I've already shown you this example here where I'm using a view to render three articles but this is not a regular old view I have done some trickery with it so the thing that I've done like by default when you're trying to use UI pattern with a view you usually get each row to render as a UI pattern but like there's an option here where you can display each row as a pattern you'll take a look at that also but I already configured the teaser of the article to be rendered as a UI pattern so I chose this to be displayed like each row to be displayed as a teaser and but then I wrote like I wanted my card collection pattern to be used in this because without the current collection pattern you get like a list of unformatted list of UI pattern like cards which are visible one below the other but I wanted so that each row will be treated as a card and the view itself will be treated as a card collection that feature doesn't come out of the box with the UI patterns module so I wrote a small plug-in which is like basically around 25 lines or so and that gives me this new feature here where you can choose UI patterns as like a set of rows and then you can choose the variant that you want to use like three columns four columns and I'm actually building a better version of it so that I can contribute it back to the module and you can choose the pattern you want to use you can choose the variant and then everything appears in the front end as you want like card collection containing cards so this is a generic card and if I go a little higher you see card collection that wraps all the cards so this is very like promising and nice so the other way like you don't necessarily have to do it like this and configure like like for example taxonomy terms you don't have a teaser view by default so you can also do it in a different way so here I have a list of cards like a list of tags which are taxonomy terms and this view is configured a bit differently so this is thanks to the UI patterns views module that we can display each row as a UI pattern in the previous one we saw it rendered as a teaser but now it's a UI pattern so when I choose this and I apply the settings then I go to settings I can choose the pattern which I want to use for displaying these items and for then I get to map like which view this is played on which like field of the UI pattern and when I save everything appears in the front end as the cards that we saw so you don't necessarily need to have a view mode for the entity you can also do custom stuff so for example if I wanted to show something other than the title I can simply replace the field with something else and so on I can even add a read more and everything will be styled accordingly so this is the other way you can do for rendering UI patterns like lists of UI patterns using views so the third option the third option here is the field groups how many of you have used the field groups module okay so field groups is basically like it lets you display like you can group fields together in the form and you can also group fields together in the like rendering part like rendering of the page so the example here is like say you have user profiles on your side like each user is allowed to add a quote to their profile which is their slogan and they're allowed to add a biography so when I go to edit profile here I see that I have this option of adding my full name and I also have this option of adding a slogan to my profile and when I go to see my profile I see that the slogan and my full name are appearing as a block vote pattern that I defined so how did I do this so this is thanks to the UI patterns field groups integration the module that we saw you enable it and then you go to the display settings for the relevant entity and uh here you can create add a group and in the group I choose pattern and then you can give it a name once you save it you get this slogan here that I have and so for it to work you just drag a couple of fields the ones that you want to show as the pattern and then you save it and after you save it you can map these fields like full name is attribution slogan is content and so on and once you save it the entity is rendered like this like so this is very helpful but the most common use cases from what I found like I've been using this module for like five months or so and the biggest advantage that I feel of having used this module is to create these view spaces and you know that they'll work you just build them once and then they'll work so this is the biggest advantage and then oh I forgot to mention a small catch like a small thing that doesn't work with the module so when you configure this with UI patterns as the like a display method for rows you you can see that there's no preview here actually usually it gives a preview but it should it tells you that UI patterns as views rows cannot render previews because the way the module works is like different it depends on the team to get the UI patterns etc and when you're on the views edit page you are actually using the admin team so there's no way for the module to know like discover the UI patterns so it simply shows you a message saying you cannot get a preview when you are using UI patterns as the views like display method so if you see that that's perfectly normal don't worry so let's take a look at what else we can do with this so these are like very like you won't be using them very often but this tweak tweak module and UI patterns the way you use it is like for nesting patterns or calling patterns from within a tweak file so we saw the block vote now let's take a look at the card collection here so in the card collection if i go to the tweak file you see there's a for loop which it reads for all the items which are basically the cards so it might sound like simple that here's just rendering items and why these these like for if and else statements so the reason for this is like not all modules behave in the same way so when you supply items using an array like if you made the array and you are sending the array data like i'm doing here in the preview let's see so the items preview i'm simply sending arrays of data to like for each item so in this case we get a very nice array which we can simply send to the card generic pattern and things work but when you're using views rows like when the views views plugin for rendering UI patterns it behaves in a different way like it creates a strange type of an array like Drupal render array and so in that case you have a content like key in the array so when i see that i simply like render the item content and for any other case i simply try to render the item so this is usually you won't get to this but this is for making it use compatible it's not like it is out of the box compatible with views rows but if you want to nest things like this then you have to do some cunning tricks so the way i'm rendering this card generic pattern from within the card collection this is thanks to a tweak plugin which was like i think it's introduced by the tweak tweak module and like it is made possible by the tweak tweak module and it's introduced by the UI patterns module so you simply call pattern then here you say the name of the pattern then you send it the data and as a third argument you can also define the variant so for example let's see i have a github page open here this is it okay so in here like we have a better example where you can see block code i'm sending in the data and then i'm like sending in the variant that i want to render so for block code i have two variants one is default the second is highlighted where you get a great background it's just for demo and then last but not the least you can also use UI patterns with Drupal's render arrays the render API so you simply build a render array like this one you say type is pattern ID is the pattern ID and the variant you can define one and then you send in the fields and you get like a UI pattern in the like render so this is basically the UI patterns module and there are other modules like this if i'm not wrong there's something called emulsify also which does something similar somebody told me and then so in here you see there there's an ecosystem of modules with support this kind of like a component driven design so there's UI patterns with fractal pattern and app and you even have something called UI pattern settings which i've not explored yet and foundation patterns there's also something called bootstrap patterns if i'm not wrong and you can like use these modules to complement the UI patterns module and do even more cool stuff so that's the UI patterns module i'm glad to have been like able to present this to you does anybody have any questions has anyone used something like this before how many of you think you are actually going to try this module does it look promising okay have you used component-based like have you done component-based development in any other technology like react or javascript cool that's yeah to ask we're starting to consider using this to make you know set group of related sites look similar we want to get them more standard moving so do you have any comments on a workflow of kind of getting from a centralized pattern library is this based off pattern knowledge or something like that yeah so i mean in two of the various sites okay so the question i'll just repeat the question the question is she is trying to build a set of similar looking sites and she wants to make sure like that the sites like look as similar as possible and that she can share components between sites so as a matter of fact this is how i got to know the UI patterns module because this is exactly what the module helps you do so the strategy will be to like first it has to start at the design phase we decide like make a possible list of components that you want to use across the sites so you go for like block both you go for card card collection etc and then you try to maintain an inventory of those components so the next thing you can do is you can probably put these UI patterns in a custom module which you can put on like a version control system like git etc and then you can use composer to pull in those like that particular custom module that contains all the UI patterns across projects and that way you will have the UI patterns like set like you have version control the UI patterns and on all the individual sites you simply enable that module and you will get those patterns and one more thing will be to like like we saw the separation of concerns thing the way it will work like the optimal use of it will be when you write the css for each pattern inside the pattern itself so the pattern doesn't know about the outside world it just thinks about itself and styles itself so if the styles are also included in the patterns then you when you import them to some other site you get the styles out of the box and that said there is also a module which i have not explored yet which is UI patterns pattern lab so they i've heard that it lets you do something like define the patterns on the pattern lab platform like i don't have much idea but i'm just theorizing whatever like i know so they let you maintain a centralized repository of patterns and then you simply pull in those centrally defined patterns into different projects and then you start using them just like the normal patterns so two options pattern lab and the second one is having a custom modular theme which contains all the patterns and importing them on all projects yeah i'm sorry i missed the question because i was unblocking the screen so if you've got each pattern each library has its own list number of css and you're importing them into a site well in terms of specificity users can override that yeah so you can like what i do like i recently made two websites with the same theme and same set of UI patterns and just the color is different so so what i did was like for my use case it was i added all specific styles for each UI pattern inside each pattern because i just wanted them to look the same across like both across the sites but the other way and evolving but we are adopting the use of UI patterns and the way we are going there is like we don't want all the UI patterns to look the same across all sites but we just want so what we're doing is we're adding some basic styles to the UI patterns themselves and so for example if you have a pattern which looks like an image to the one side and text on the other then the only style we have to the pattern is the part where you make them like look like the image goes to the left the text to the right we don't add any style specific components like a style specific css like the heading is supposed to be blue heading is supposed to be green and that comes from the theme so you basically enable this pattern whether it's a module or a theme then you have your own theme on the side which is custom specific to that side and in that theme you create css files which actually address the styling issues so this is how you can like have more specific styles and less specific styles in the patterns does that answer the question okay any other questions susanne any question so thank you very much i think for a person who started late i have finished quite early so thank you very much and also that's like we do trainings so here's some of our training programs which are coming up and if anybody is interested you can like join this and you can read my blog about ui patterns like i go in web.ca slash blog and i also have other articles about migration etc you can find them there and you can look me up by searching for juggaries i have a late question yeah do you have any experience with a fractal or a storybook or any of these like okay you know documented or documentation okay so the question is if i have experience with fractal or any other like storybook or things like that the answer is no okay you owe me a late fee of ten dollars okay so any other late questions yeah um so the question is that how do you integrate the ui patterns with the drupal layout builder which is now in the drupal core so i have used the layout builder for on a few occasions so what i think is like what we'll be doing to integrate them will be um define blocks block types and use display suites to display those blocks as ui patterns and then you inject those blocks into the sections for the layout builder so that way you say add section when you add a block which can be a card collection whatever and in it like you have the full-fledged block so you add the fields and you get the block instead of parallel so it's basically like using blocks instead of parallel so great so thank you very much have a good day we look up three years to the one in reference to you


Let us start with what has been happening when it comes to India-China relationship in last three years. Lot of hostilities were there, especially when it comes to the border issues. Do you think this visit will have any impact on that? I think it will because the reason behind this informal summit is to see that such things didn't happen again because Dhoklam last year in the summer exposed the lack of a framework which can prevent such incidents on the border, rather the line of actual control. And smaller scale standoffs also happened before, you know, patrols including to each other's claimed line and so on. Therefore, it will have certainly some impact even though it was a so-called agenda-less summit more about understanding than about specific issues, but surely several specific issues will be affected by this. So as you have pointed out, this was more or less agenda-less visit and an informal visit it was called. There were news that Modi and the Chinese counterpart are meeting at least six times in 24 hours. So, what were the basic issues that they were even discussing when it comes to this agenda-less informal meeting? Because India has been closely moving towards US when it comes to its international ties. So, will it have any impact on India-China relationship? Yes, you know, out of the six, four were just the two-some meetings with interpreters and two were delegation-level meetings, which means that they had things to discuss part by point. Therefore, only name it was agenda-less meeting and lot of preparation did precede this. Now and the, you know, many commentators have talked about to reset India-China relations. Actually it's not about resetting specific issues or these relations. I would say that, you know, we have to have a rethinking of the frameworks governing relations of such countries and countries in general today after the, you know, Donald Trump leadership came to power and several developments, Brexit and, you know, US-Russia relations going sour and so on. Now today these two countries realize that world is moving in the direction of a different power structure where a big, small, medium, all countries matter. Therefore, the balance of power realist approach which was governing our relations, particularly during the last three years. And especially when market is defining everything because India is one of the biggest markets in the world. That's right. One and two, that if you find some challenge from one's power, you move to another power. India went closer to US. Now that kind of politics is outdated. You have to have relations with all countries and you cannot be over dependent on any country and be, you need peace for an environment of development and trade and trade has to be equitable. You can't have just US dominating the international trade or even China replacing US. And this is why India-China economic relations were a big issue. One of the issues in this summit, for example, we have an imbalance and the imbalance grew during the last three years, you see. Therefore, we have to have a different strategy so that India uses Chinese capital and China also opens its market for Indian products, pharmaceuticals, agricultural goods, many other things, not just getting coal, iron ore from India and selling to India all the modern electronic goods and things like that. That kind of trade has to change. And Chinese investments should be utilized in India to modernize Indian economy and produce modern goods that can sell all over the world, including in China. You mentioned the Belt and Road Initiative. You see, Belt and Road Initiative is both economic and political and cultural. This is the old Silk Road revived now and the political point was the sticking point between India and China on Belt and Road. If China had consulted India before signing the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, they could have come to some agreement that, okay, you have some project, but you announce that this is Indian territory or disputed territory. Before doing that, before taking India into confidence in one of the trips, Xi Jinping announced this big project, which is now a 60 billion US dollar project, China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. But all the South Asian neighbors of India have welcomed and have joined the Belt and Road Initiative. Some specific projects also, which are ostensibly part of Belt and Road Initiative, which fall, for example, in the BCIM Economic Corridor, Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar, Economic Corridor in the East. Now India is participating, but they have agreed that it should not be called Belt and Road Initiative project. It should be BCIM project. So slowly they have to understand how to respect each other's concerns and sensitivities and I'm glad that is the basic thing. You know, this informal summit has focused on mutual respect and mutual respect that has a sense of other parties' concerns, aspirations and I think they don't quote Manmohan Singh of course, but Manmohan Singh used to say, the world is big enough to accommodate the aspirations of the two rising powers. You actually pointed out that how even small and the medium-sized countries also need to be brought on board when you're discussing these issues. When it comes to India's relationship with its neighbors, it was getting bad in past three years, be it Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and China was having more influence over these countries. Do you think this summit will have any impact on that? And also because in South Asia, China and India are two biggest powers. So what will be the political configurations taking place in South Asia when it comes to the meeting between the two counterparts? It will have a lot of effect on India and her South Asian neighbors and I would very much hope that Prime Minister Modi takes some initiative about Pakistan where the new understanding with China will be a positive factor and today also there was news that the two parties agreed, India and China agreed to have a joint development plan in Afghanistan. That is the best and they should bring Pakistan into that. So Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China and Iran, they should have a joint strategy of development and they should urge EU and US to join that kind of framework rather than having competing strategies. Similarly, in Nepal and Bangladesh, Myanmar and Sri Lanka, India and China should not be competing for influence. They should be partnering for helping these countries which have either ethnic problem or economic problem and so security is now very intimately connected with ethnic aspirations as well as economic issues, environment issues, energy issues and of course both the countries have agreed to work more closely on countering terrorism. I hope on that also they have a new perspective going into the roots of terrorism, what forces give rise to youth joining terrorist groups and take up arms. Therefore this understanding will help India to have new resources together with China and also independently, both to work in Nepal, Myanmar, all the countries throughout South Asia. Therefore now Sark should be revived. You know China is an observer, China, Russia, US, they are all observers and we should take advantage of this new understanding to take Sark out of the freeze and India-Pakistan relations should now be altered so that we have a revival of the Sark activity. I mean do you think that it will also act as an influencing block when it comes to the global politics if these countries come together? Now the block politics is a thing of the past and you have new multilateral cooperative organizations like the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS, even EU is a fragmented organization really. Now so new economic regional organizations, ASEAN is the good example of this, which now defines globalization in terms of local interest and the global and regional interest being harmonized. Not just US dictated or EU dictated global interest being imposed on the region and then smaller countries or individual countries like the situation which led to the trade war between US and China. We need multilateral organizations as the mediators to really harmonize local interest and global interest. So that is the model and a block influencing global politics. I think that era is gone. But for example BRICS, should BRICS follow the agenda of G7 or G77? I used to always ask this question ever since BRICS came. But last two summits Goa and the last one was in Hainal. We had, I was disappointed, BRICS was moving in the direction of G7 terms and that is not what we wanted. We hoped that India, China, South Africa and Brazil, if not Russia, at least these four countries would really take up issues which will democratize the world order. In the statements that was reported by the Foreign Secretary today in the press conference, I was pleased to read one sentence that both countries would work for an open democratic multipolar participant world order. Even multipolar has to be redefined. It's not the old five being replaced by a new five. India, China being admitted to the G7.  That's all the time we have for today and as these things proceed and as India and China interact more, we will be coming back to you on such issues once again. Thanks a lot for giving us your time, sir. Thank you. Thank you for watching NewsClick.


So here's a, here's a little question to ponder. Aristotle says, you know, rejects the idea that form is independent of the particular objects, right? They don't, they're not separately existing from the particular objects. If you want to know the form, you have to look at the object. All right, this is an interesting consequence. Form and matter are inseparable. There's no such thing as matter without form. And there's no such thing as form without matter. You can't have a universal of a particular thing without the particular things. And similarly, you can't have matter without some kind of essence to it. So he rejects what's sometimes called prime matter. Prime matter is just stuff without, without form. Okay, so form and matter are inseparable. What exists is substance and a substance is a composite of form and matter. So here's a question. Are, are form and matter the same thing? Are they identical to each other?
