All right guys, so today's video we're gonna cut a face frame. We're gonna do it with a center parting. Now if your guest wears a side parting, then you would do this a little bit different. I'm gonna make a separate video for that. So this is based on a center symmetrical shape that we're creating. So I take the center back parting and then I take a diagonal forward parting from that right to the hairline. So and what I do is I over direct that over to me across the chair, across the face and what I'm doing is I'm cutting a line almost parallel to that parting.  A lot of people hold it nice and low and what that does is it creates weight.  So people don't think about that in the front. They always hold the hair nice and low. You want to hold the hair nice and high that gives you a nice kind of graduated shape in the front as opposed to a just real heavy shape. So you can see that how it curves nice. I just continue all the way down the side until I run out of hair and then you get your face frame. Now what I'm going to do is take a piece as my guide and I'm going to do the same exact thing on the opposite side. So that's why I say this is a pretty simple technique as long as you focus on your elevation and your finger angle. So notice my finger angle isn't exactly parallel so I just shift it a little bit. That gives me a little bit more of an extreme face frame kind of wraps it around a little bit more but at the same time you could go parallel as well if you didn't want that. So I over direct it over keep my elevation nice and high symmetrical on both sides and then you get your end result. So notice my partings nice and clean. I'm taking about a half inch at a time over across the face cutting it at a stationary guide and I'm creating that kind of wrap around the face. So as I get to the ear that's about when it starts to run out of hair. So if you wanted to continue this haircut you continue all the way through the back. If you want to you can leave the layers nice and long. You could go into the back and also cut layers into the back as well. So this is more just for the face frame. We're not going to do any layering in the back. I want to show it to you guys dry. So I'm using the Palm Mitchell memory shaper. This is from the invisible wear category. So I put that in the hair. It's got a nice soft hold to it and then I use my Palm Mitchell turbo light blow dryer to dry the hair and then I use hot off the press from Palm Mitchell which is a heat protectant just to make sure I don't create any damage to my guest. Obviously this is not a real human but if it was I would use hot off the press anyways and then that gives me that smooth that effect. So at 80% dry I use hot off the press and that gives me kind of a smooth polish to the hair. Then when I go in with my Pro Tools iron then I get that nice end result. So you can see here is our end result nice face frame. So I hope you guys like this cut. Let me know in the comments. I think this is a very versatile technique that you'll be able to use in the salon right away. Thank you guys so much for watching this video and I'll see you guys on the next one. Thanks.


All right good afternoon folks welcome on back here this Wednesday afternoon April 12th shortly after 2 30 p.m Eastern time should be good to go across social media now at least I think that we had a small issue at first live this morning But good to go across the board there Of course good to go as always inside our live trading room great to see Phil and Mario rejoining us here Ron and later Good afternoon to them as always so that further do folks market is taking a dip right now like live as we're talking So what's happening here? Is there any like Fed minutes meeting that like concluded before? Obviously the CPI report came out early this morning But we're talking live right now folks like just right at 2 30 smack right now market just pulled back So yeah, it looks like the smaller Fed meeting happened the FOMC minutes meeting And you get these things happening like pretty much every like few weeks or so But this is one of the smaller ones so not one of the larger ones But with that said couple had the headlines came out just at 2 o'clock Not even as much now So it's pretty interesting to see more of a delayed reaction more than anything here at 2 30 I'll have my benzenga up just in case if there's anything else out that came out just here But nevertheless GFA I not certainly are certainly not listening right now to the market still pushing up right now Heading into the afternoon. I just made big pop as soon as the market opened up this morning So, you know, this was a big focus of ours at least after the market opened You know, I wanted to put more of a focus on the stocks that we already had on them on the morning watch list So we did really well on stocks like AI and C ELZ and Lucy and you know HTCRs CYTO is actually one of the best ones. Yeah, so this was actually right out the gate one of the better trades But hey, it was more of a level four or five stock even heading into the close today Looks like it's still pushing up in terms of the chart higher lows But look at the spread look at how thin or it'll look with the order book is right now So that's what makes it a very dangerous to trade Not only that but obviously just the move that it made today plus just the last week It's very well extended to see a stock go from like five six bucks back from mid of last week Basically a full week plus later to today and it's that like 27 28 dollars So, you know, if you're afraid of trading this stock you have every right to be I would rather you follow something else in that to in that case You know something that you could trade more shares of something that you're a lot more confident to trade So hey, that's up to you. We're all adults here, right? So, you know, if you're a new trader out here looking at the shiny object in the room, I Can't stop you from trying to trade this But if you were more of a level four or five trader already here and have proven to be a very skilled trader consistently here with CTU Well, hey, you know who you are right? You don't need me to tell you that so, you know That's where I say you know exactly who you are if you should be trading the stock Put this on our list for those folks But either way we'll see if there's anything else that's even easier and not just in terms of the trend again Nice trend, but in terms of just following the big money All right, still got my Benzinga up here market is dipping here a little bit pretty interesting to see live right now Let's go from top to bottom here recap a couple of the others that we ended up doing really well on We did really well on CELZ and not doing as well on it right now Meaning we haven't really followed it since so at this point right now Certainly looking like it's just gonna continue to fill the gap But more from the pre-market and then more from after the market opened up the stock actually had a really good bounce plate to it It shocked me I really didn't think it was gonna make as good of a bounce at the time off of 109 and I took the entry It shocked me, but still just take the entry set a tight stop I was gonna expect to take like a minus one or minus two at the time And it just kind of held higher lows higher lows pushed up a bit towards 117 118 Not the biggest and best trade, but it worked out I'm gonna show a level four here and tell you what I was looking at at the time I had big iceberg order on the bid at 92 cents. That was early in pre-market So really at this time I was expecting it to pull back pretty quickly But suddenly we ended up seeing a hundred twenty two thousand share print getting filled on the bid And it just laid over that price throughout the duration of the morning here That's what led to the bounce. Well the bounce before the pullback So actually to tell you that just the skinny on this we ended up getting out on this trade I know John get out like right around 125 124. I closed out right under the opening print I was not playing with fire, especially with how long it took for this to even move off this level So I ended up getting out at 128 penny under the opening print with hopes of trying to see this Hold a higher low with hopes and then obviously it crashed right away after So you know kind of posting a couple funny emojis inside the chat board there But you know hey, I wasn't expecting to have this collapse It's just that hey we're trying to get out and then maybe re-enter So once this crashed and then just got halted that's when it's pretty much game over I took a couple tiny losses off of a dollar like a break even and a small loss and then from there Just flattened out further and then broke down a lot more So obviously at this point, it's like catching the full knife here more than anything So you're not trying to long the straight at this stage It's as simple as that if you could short this stack, which I can't I don't think anyone really can but God forbid if you can get the shares to short then you know clearly that could have been a really good trade might still Off you a little bit more to work with going into the close, but Right now. We'll see what else is out there Tests kind of looking like the other one was at the TRTN trade buyout, right pretty much the same deal GFA I already we talked about this one so far and we'll keep it going here folks HTC are more from pre-market from like after seven o'clock led to a little bounce at first But again same deal with this as we just saw earlier on the CELZ complete gap fill here now at the stage I See why to I mean obviously a bit of a wonky chart here as well But you know this actually had a really strong bounce just as soon as the market opened up So it was trending down leading into the open It was definitely filling the gap early in pre-market then thankfully after the open it bottomed out and then broke back up Slingshot so to say this was one of the better trades that we ended up actually catching throughout the morning audio that we ended Up doing so a couple quick shout outs on this trade actually if I could Let me just check really quick just checking on on the chat right now Mine well got like 30 cents on this trade Brian got 29 cents Kathleen in from 206. She got 44 cents on it That was all from earlier today I know a few more of us like John and myself are on AMC But they're just in terms of the CYTO and I sort of move up here, right? One of the better trades that we ended up catching across the day once the volume peaks and dies off though We often say this year So does the stock You know hey CYTO. We're not really too familiar with it looks like prior to today Stock was like trading barely over a million shares here these days them before that We have no business with the stock mainly so no no surprise it came all the way back down and you know Obviously flattened out here at this point All right, so let's keep it going here folks and my apologies slightly under the weather I don't really know what hit me like kind of late morning early afternoon But like got the life sucked at me it feels like so obviously not on camera for that But I try and go through this meeting here pretty quickly FRGT ended up making more of a steady move up off the lows, but it's like kind of chugging on up It's making that kind of like slower grind Not exactly my cup of tea right there, but it's still holding strong near the highs here going into the afternoon If we can get a re break over three then that could definitely lead to a nice, you know higher high So hopefully we get that here for right now. I'll put this back on our list HILS not much happening there tightens the buyout BFRG we called bottom on this really nicely heading into the early to mid-afternoon But the issue on this stock this is what made it dangerous I I reckon not many ended up taking this call out because of how ill-liquid the order book was I realized that afterwards But otherwise though this just had a pretty interesting level Sniped is just interesting right off 530 IPO open price ends up bottoming out there support initially holding a higher low now I just you know it led to a nice little squeeze to begin But at this point now it's making lower highs just the order book looks a little skimpy So I'm not fully committed to it just yet. This was the AI trade bullfrog AI We have the other one on there GFA I right We'll come back to this at the end though. I'll put this on our side list Yeah, GNS your former runner for us just back like a year ago Maybe six months ago, perhaps you could say and a little run-up once again today for that one, but we'll pass here All right, so market is plunging could be finding some stocks landing its way on the loser's side right now my scanner here So let's see if there's anything looking just as good from a yeah Loser's list right now CTR dropped off earlier this morning obviously dead right now, but could have been a nice short CRUS too expensive Wow American Airlines got crushed didn't it I saw this drop off early in pre-market Then I really turned my head away from it Just we had plenty of other stocks on the way up that we're looking pretty good But nevertheless this could have been a really good short It's at the lows right now could be more for the taking if the markets could tend to You know whether they break lower or not continue to show weakness So AAL yeah, I'll put on our main watch list for right now. I think this could be earnings related So let me just double-check on that If you're familiar with this trade you may already know so let me just double-check here for us AAL expects quarter one adjusted EPS Yep, they ended up issuing preliminary results and it was below analyst and expectations All right, so it broke below 13 just recently here re breaking below 13 So this could be pretty easily on the way down look for a 1290 to be a backup support level to 13 there then from there Like really every 10 cents could be a design support 1280 after that 84k on the bid Yeah, boil ETF short of like gas, but now we'll pass on it Peloton from this morning. I didn't really see this until the later part of the morning here So caught this one a little late personally, but Peloton dropped off pretty nicely here today and just kind of flat though for the afternoon Foustose potential swing trade on space I got to check in with him personally just as far as if he's still in this or if he ended up jumping in from Early this week, but it's still kind of back towards his support level He was following the dip point from the end of last year roughly around that 324 325 so obviously having a down day today down over 8% right now, but Still technically it's holding over support You'd need to see it hold a higher low at minimum though as far as that potential swing trade You know as a day trade no business with the stock today just too slow normally All right, so there's definitely more that's down percentage wise like number 45 number 50 is like around 7 8% So I'm gonna take a quick look again on benzinga pro Let me just bring up the scanner here that I did earlier today Firm I saw a pop up there just a moment ago AFRM beyond meat Maybe a couple other stocks like Delta Airlines UAL obviously all airlines moving well together But if Americans off the news that's the one I'd rather follow Delta's not looking too great there united could be going with american will follow aAL if anything there no need to write them all down Tgtx what goes up does come back down and this is shortable. It's at the lows Big support off 20 Potentially should this break lower for a quick like 25 cent short I know that could be more of a scalp in relation to the overall move that it made today But hey, there could be even more after that but look for 20 to be a major support level on this trade Uh, you know what? I'll slip this on our list It's tradable and for right now. Let's see if it ends up moving lower Affirm AFRM down over 3 percent. It's you know trotting towards the lows, right? Don't really feel a great need to put this one on there So you know what folks we're gonna wrap up for right now We got four stocks to work with then we'll check in with the bfrg I said here just a kind of on the side list here to wrap up It's kind of hanging in there hasn't totally dumped off yet I just wish the order book was a lot more liquid a lot more filled in spread tighter Hopefully that were to be that hopefully that will be the case coming into the afternoon All right checking youtube checking the cyber group right now Just any of our streams or our live trading room seeing if there's any other callouts that our students or members here have Some choppy market says john. Yeah, I mean we'll especially we'll this drop off now Perhaps we'll see further conviction on the way down. We'll see All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up for right now. So hey Not a bad list actually for what it's worth We got a couple good stocks at the highs right now like the gfa i and fr gt A couple stocks on the way down like a al and tgtx so really no complaints so far and like I'd said You know, I wouldn't really look to stray away from this watch list Unless if there is something that is making such an obvious move up or down that you know That we would have put it on our watch list instantaneously So, you know, if it's something that simple to say up there we go Then call it out then call it out at that point folks right But otherwise start and stick with this list see what we can work with here heading into the market close Rich will be on from three to four o'clock But for any of our members on social media if you're interested in just joining our live trading room Go right down to the link on the green banner below other stream right there to get yourself set up to get yourself started If you have any questions prior to joining us though, feel free to shoot me a quick email joshc2trading.com All right folks, but enjoy the rest of the day and um again I'll catch back with everyone if not later on this afternoon in the chat then otherwise come tomorrow morning I appreciate that sam and lead and all this just your otherwise take care


Hello and welcome back to NewsClick Studio in the latest episode of Let's Talk, where we are yet again going to talk about the COVID-19 situation in India. Now India is the country with the fifth highest number of cases. Many countries across the world have been reopening after they have been able to flatten the curve. In India, however, we have been forced to begin to reopen even as the curve has not flattened. And so we are stuck between a deteriorating economic situation on the one hand and a rising number of cases on the other. Meanwhile, reports continue to emerge from Maharashtra, Delhi and other parts of the country about inadequate medical facilities. We will talk a bit more about these issues, but here are some details. As of today morning, India reported a total of 2,76,583 cases of which 1,33,632 are active. The death toll is 7,745. In the 24 hours before 8 a.m. today, 9,985 cases were reported as were 279 deaths. Over 1.45 lakh tests were conducted during this period. In other major developments, Jay Anbargan, a senior DMK leader from Tamil Nadu who was also an MLA, died from COVID-19 related complications on Wednesday morning. He reportedly contracted the disease while engaged in relief work. Meanwhile, the Delhi government has decided to not oppose the left-hand governor's instruction that hospitals in the state be open for all. The government had earlier controversially decided that 10,000 beds in state government hospitals should be reserved for treating COVID-19 patients from Delhi or Delhi residents. This decision had caused an uproar with many observers pointing out that it was violated with the right to health. Subsequently, the left-hand governor, Anil Bajal, overruled that decision. We talked to News Clicks Prabir Purkhaistha on some of these issues. Thank you, Prabir, for joining us. So we have seen a number of developments over the past few days. The government has virtually admitted that it has really failed to tackle the epidemic. On the side, as far as the cases are concerned, we've seen the numbers steadily increasing. And now at a global level, India is in the top five in terms of overall cases, but also in terms of new cases, turning out to the numbers are quite high. So do we see the situation continuing over the next few days or are we anywhere even close to possibly reaching the curve being flattened? Well, let's be very honest. We are nowhere near flattening of the curve. In fact, we are steadily going up, which means that we will peak at some future date on the other, but the peak is not in the near future. So one thing is what 70 days of lockdown has achieved, that it has not achieved in flattening the curve or crushing the epidemic, which is what China did. As you know, in this time frame, we are able to literally contain the epidemic to very small profits and stamp it out. So that is not what has happened here. Very clearly, we're still on an upward trajectory. That can be seen. And I think the fact that when Amit Shah, our hope minister, comes out and says, what about the opposition? Already the government admits that it has failed and it is now putting the ball on the opposition, the government, the state governments, and say, hey, we couldn't do it, but what about you? And I think that's a big admission of failure. And I think that's something that we need to register. That this, what about you, register the fact that you believe that they have failed and that you perceive that they have failed. Now, forgetting about what the governments have or have not, what now needs to be, what is the scenario now and what needs to be done. Clearly, the figures, as you said, India is now rising in terms of the total numbers. We are, I think, in the sixth in the world at the moment. But in terms of reinfections and indeed deaths, we are the third highest in the world as of now. And behind the United States, which of course, under Trump, completely dropped the ball, shall we say. The CDC failing to even provide proper tests for even one month after they started seeing outbreaks in the United States. And two months after the genomic sequences, deciphered and put on the public database. So that's one. And the other country, which is ahead of us, that's rather shameful, is Bolsonaro's Brazil. So if you take these two countries out, as you know, Brazil is now trying to hide the figures, taking the data off the database, and then forced to put it back by the Supreme Court. Brazil is a particularly bad example of how to find the COVID-19 epidemic. And so is Trump's United States. And we are now the third highest. After the lockdown, which is considered quite severe, is also a sign of the failure that we are seeing. So what is it that needs to be done now? Clearly, the numbers are only rising. You see, new infections, the figures are going up. In absolute terms, the numbers are rising. Now the talk of percentages doesn't make any sense because what you're seeing is the hospital capacity as opposed to the number of new patients that is coming up. And particularly, those who will fall seriously ill, who will need hospitalization. And that's roughly about probably 5% to 6% of the total number of patients wouldn't normally turn serious, particularly if they're above 60%. So if you look at the hospital capacity, the ICU capacity, and the ventilator capacity, all of this at the moment are seeing signs of crisis in the two major cities that we are seeing down break, which is of course Delhi, the other is Mumbai. In Delhi, it's happening in front of a newspaper offices. So we are seeing it around us that the people are dying in front of the hospitals without the real admission. So what it shows is that we are rapidly running out of hospital facilities, which is the other reason for a long down. You want to prolong the curve, not only dip, but prolong the curve so that you can meet with the kind of demand that's going to be put on your health system. And obviously that at the moment, if you are saying the peak is further away, that means the situation for the hospital is only going to get worse. And you are therefore likely to see a higher death rate. And that's again, what we are finding now that the death rate in India is going up more steeply than the number of infections warrant. And that's because you have the hospital systems and no longer able to sustain the battle against COVID-19. And there is a, I will not say it collapsed, but there is a slow or overwhelming of the hospital system that we're seeing now. And this mind of the two of the centers which are best equipped to handle the hospital crisis, which is Delhi and Mumbai, which has good infrastructure in terms of also ICU. So that's when it is happening. So I think that's a very worrying sign because when it gets into the smaller towns, which already it has started, then you will see a much bigger crisis emerge because the number of ventilators, number of ICU's and such events are much, much smaller in spaces. And particularly in the, what is called the Boko St. Towns, or the smaller towns, rural areas will get about, there is a density. And if you want to reach the nearest town, even then you will find that the hospitals are occupied or the hospitals have no capacity to handle serious patients. I think you are likely to see a much bigger crisis in the hands of the health system now. Now the numbers are reaching the figures which could cause overwhelming of the health system in the urban centers soon. And then it might spread out to other areas. And as we know, the figures are very, very poor in those areas in terms of ICU and hospital medicine. So I think we are at it at the moment. Right. And as far as Delhi and Mumbai specifically are concerned. So if we use some of the other models that is successfully in other parts of the world that has successfully combated the COVID-19, the spread of COVID-19, what exactly would be needed right now? Would another mini lockdown work? Or is it even practical? Or do we need more targeted measures? I think we have to now agree that a further lockdown would be the continuation of a failover. The lockdown needed to be accompanied by certain things. That did not happen. Now, if we don't do those things, just a lockdown is not going to help. So first is, can we strengthen those things? Which is contact tracing, isolating the people, not treating it as a police law and order issue, but treating it as a health issue. Providing volunteers on the ground who are willing to be mobilized. Providing the health staff to be supported in different ways. Now, that is gearing up the entire government administration primarily at the moment or fighting a public health disaster, which is adopt. Now, Kerala has shown that, of course, they had the earlier experience of the Vipa virus and they also had the floods, which mobilized a huge number of volunteers across the state. So they had that capacity to mobilize the volunteers. And of course, the left government, which is a very close links to the people and the mass organizations. But it's a mystery why the art, which claimed that it had a strong volunteer base. We don't see that mobilized at all. In fact, we see no semblance of mobilizing the people on this count. The art is reliant exactly as the Modigapu did on the administrative machinery alone, talking about apps which we know in the epidemics doesn't really help. This is really something which is wishful thinking by the art government. And then, of course, you have this strange spectacle of trying to hide numbers by denying the public labs, private labs to test. Did I give in Bangaram Hospital? It's a very charitable hospital, a very well-known one, a very good one, from also doing tests. And to cap it all, both ICMR and Delhi government in this case have said that you cannot get a COVID test done if you want admission to hospital unless you're symptomatic. Now that is terrible from the health point of view because that means no person who needs either a chemotherapy, cancer treatment, anything which needs what is going to be a journey or something which could be even a crisis like appendicitis and so on, they cannot get admission to hospital because they cannot get the test done unless you are suspected to be COVID-19 you cannot get the test done. And if you are not a COVID-19 suspect, but you have other problems, then the hospital will not let you in without a COVID-19 test. So this is becoming a catch-to-little situation. So I think it shows the mindlessness in the bureaucracy that they operate quote-unquote on the rulebook and not by what the health system really requires. So I think that's the unfortunate part of it, that Delhi government has shown that it's incapacity to mobilize people and not to look at it as an administrative problem but to look at it as a public health problem. And I think that's the problem that's to be found fundamentally overcome. If you mobilize the people, then you can contain what is called the mitigation measures then you can take much more, much more effectively. People will know that identifying themselves as somebody who might have COVID-19 will not stigmatize them, not let them to a kind of prison-like conditions and the very poor quarantine facilities, all of that. And they will also get basic support from themselves and their families. So unless you give that confidence to the people that this kind of antagonistic relationship with the people and COVID-infected is only going to worsen the situation and that's what we seem to be doing. Now we get this huge cornering of areas, talks about isolating and increasingly this cluster is so large that effectively containing it means also infecting a new set of people over there. So I personally feel that unless there is a change of tack where epidemiologists are involved, public health groups are involved and of course the people are involved, we are not going to see the controlling of this epidemic take place and then we are back to what is the herd immunity thesis which might take if you don't have a vaccine a couple of years. So I think we are in for hard times unless the central government and the state governments now decide to follow what is being loosely called the Kenner model but what is the public health model which almost is existing. We need to go back to that and strengthen the public health system applying at the stage because that's what the hospital system, public health system is what can really save you from deaths not just infections. Most people will get infected, we get okay but if you want to prevent the real problem which is people dying or getting damaged by the COVID-19 you need the second line of defense which is our health system. Absolutely. Thank you so much for being with us. In our next segment we bring you a conversation between writer Vijay Prasad and musician Roger Waters of Pink Floyd where they talk about COVID-19, capitalism and the building of a better world. You were very struck when you heard the news of the death of Ramona Medina in Villa 31 in Buenos Aires died of the coronavirus. You made a video about that Roger. The question of running water was central in this the question of poverty was central. What moved you to make that short statement about the death of Ramona Medina in Buenos Aires, Argentina? First of all, I was told in the same communication from Garganta Podorosa which is a working class newspaper that I believe it may even be based in Villa 31 it's certainly based in Buenos Aires and they said to me, this woman is complaining because she's been told to wash her hands so that she won't catch coronavirus.  They said to her, and she said, I can't, we have no water.  And then of course, she got the borrasson died so it's a tragic, tragic story and her message which was basically that water is a basic human right that no authority, whether it's a municipal urban authority or a government should have the power to deny to the citizens of any country anywhere. So I made a little statement in support of them because they asked me to and also because I know Villa 31 because many years ago when I was on the road there another organization in South America called ALAS asked if I would help to publicize their work in education for young children all over Latin America, which I did and I adapted a song that I'd already written and I made it and then I put it half in Spanish and half in English and you've seen it Yeah, why don't you, I mean the song is extraordinary and we're going to run at least some of it in this video. The song is called The Child Will Fly. I find it a very affecting song. Could you talk a little bit Roger about making that song and also the video which you shot in Villa 31? Yeah, as I say, the child poverty action, charity was called ALAS, which is wings in Spanish. And so los niños volarán means the children will fly. It's just that the child will fly. So that's what the song became called but basically it's a call to allow our children whatever their beginnings and their roots and wherever they live, if they live in Villa 31 or any of the favelas all over Brazil or any poor district anywhere, that they have the opportunity to be allowed to fly because one of them might be Galel, the great tango maestro or one of them might be Marqués and suddenly write Time in the Love of Coral or they might just be people who deserve to live a decent life with running water. So in fact, the message when I made the ALAS song is exactly the same message that Ramona Medina was trying to get through the thick skulls of the bureaucrats in Buenos Aires when she died. And the message remains the same. We have an absolute responsibility to our children to change our systems, to offload neoliberal economics in order that our children and everybody's children should have at least the possibility to learn to fly. Most of them, not most of them, yeah, a huge proportion of them now die when they're little kids because they got nothing to eat. So that would be the first step on the way to it. And that old bloke who to my eternal shame, I can never remember his name, who makes musical instruments, he's real, he really goes around the rubbish dumps and he makes those musical instruments out of rubbish that he finds on dumps and things. And some of them even work a bit, you can twang them and they make a noise. So I don't know what else to say about it I became very involved in it and I got old friends to help me. Eric Clapton played a guitar solo and Steve Gad played drums and I've got a wonderful, brilliant Brazilian percussion player and a young tenor from, he was at Juilliard at the time, he was a student called Alec Schrader, sings this, turns some of it into a beautiful operatic area. So I don't know what else to say and I also managed to meet people from the Abreu movement in Venezuela. So I had some Venezuelan kids come up who I was hoping one was a cellist, good player and a beautiful, beautiful young woman and a boy who played the trumpet. Unfortunately, they'd been given parts which they'd learned in the wrong key and we didn't have time, and we didn't have time and we weren't quite musically in sync enough to get them to, so we weren't able to use what they played but to even walk alongside Abreu's great experiment, one of the great, great things about Venezuela was this idea of teaching working class kids to play instruments, just as a matter of course. You know, there is light at the end, there are many tunnels and there is light at the end of a lot of them. It's just a question of clearing the people who run everything and steal everything out of the way so that we can first of all get into the tunnel and then see the light at the end and then crawl our way towards it and then burst out into the new tomorrow that we and our children deserve. That's all we have in this episode. Let's talk, we'll be back tomorrow with major news developments from the country. Until then, keep watching NewsClick.

If you are interested in one-on-one coaching, you can email me at narksefervercoaching at gmail.com. The audacious and arrogant narcissist. Narcists show a lack of respect and a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks. They have an exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities. And they don't take into consideration what you want or how you feel. It's all about them and what they are trying to extract or obtain from you. Their audacity and arrogance reflects their entitlement to you whenever they want. You might be trying to move on, but it will appear as though the narcissist doesn't get it. As though they don't understand that you want nothing to do with them. They believe that you still want them and you cannot live without them. They will act as though you still belong to them. Like an object or a prized possession. They believe that they can come back and have you whenever they feel like it. This is due to their audacity and arrogance. They have no respect for you. They don't really care about what you want or how you feel. All they care about is what they want. Which is whatever they are trying to take from you. They don't come back to give anything to you. It's all about them. They have nothing to give. But due to their exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities. They assume that it should be a privilege for you to have them in your life. They don't really care about what you want or how you feel. They don't understand that you no longer feel the same way about them. They don't understand that they have nothing to be beneficial or favourable to you. They exaggerate their own importance or abilities. So they believe that they have a lot to offer you. They believe that you should feel privileged to have them around. The narcissist almost expects you to take them back. They expect you to want them. Because they have done this so many times in the past. Where they have successfully manipulated their victims. By imitating their wants, needs or desires. So now they are feeling great pleasure or satisfaction. From when their manipulation has been successful in the past. It makes them feel as though they are worth something. Or as though they have a lot to give. When in reality they never had anything to give. They manipulated their victims into believing that they had something to offer them. To which they never followed up with action. But because their manipulation has been successful in the past. They attribute this success to being a part of their character and personality. When really they never would have been successful without the manipulation or deception. They are so used to their victims falling for their manipulation. And buying into whatever fantasy or dream they are trying to sell them. They believe that their manipulation tactics can seduce or win over whoever they want. Because they have worked for them in the past. But they don't consider that you are no longer susceptible to their manipulation tactics. They don't consider that you are aware of the game they are trying to play. And aware of what they are trying to get from you. They don't understand that you want nothing to do with them. They have an exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities. They believe that they are something great or something you would want in your life. But most of this is just to protect their fragile egos. They have to feel as though they are something that you would want.  Their arrogance is a defence mechanism against their low self-worth and low self-esteem. This is why they have to force themselves upon you. And almost demand you to want them. Demand you to need and desire them in your life. You cannot deal with the fact that maybe you don't want them anymore. It's too painful for them to accept.  Believing that they are something valuable or significant to you. Even if you don't want anything to do with them. Because really this isn't about you. It's about them regulating their emotions and protecting their fragile egos. They think that you're trying to punish them for what they did to you.  They're not taking you seriously. It's just part of the game to them. They don't want to accept or understand that you really want nothing to do with them. Or twist or reinterpret everything you are doing to separate or divide yourself from them. And look at it as though it's only a matter of time until they get back with you again. They will continue to watch or stalk you. Whether on social media or in person due to their distorted way of thinking. Their lack of respect. And their exaggerated sense of their own importance or abilities. They really believe that you still want them. They will be waiting to punish you for rejecting them. Narcists cannot deal with rejection. When you reject a narcissist you are causing a narcissistic injury. They see it as though you are trying to punish them. It makes them feel worthless and insignificant and desirable or not wanted. When you reject them or make it known that you want nothing to do with them. They can become obsessed and start stalking you. So they will be waiting to punish you for rejecting them. And not giving them what they wanted from you. Because that's what all of this is about. It's about them extracting or obtaining something from you. They might exaggerate their own importance or abilities. But deep down they know they have nothing to give you. They keep coming back to you because they know that you have everything they want. Not the other way around. But they know that you're going to want something from them in return. They know they can't just come back to you without having anything to give. So along with their audacity they display a sense of arrogance. Exaggerating their importance or abilities. And this reflects their entitlement to you whenever they want. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonated with you. Please like, comment, share and subscribe.

The Colorado Education Association is the teacher's union here in Colorado, we're the largest union in the state, and we represent the educators who serve Colorado students every single day. And one of the great things that Kaiser has done in many of our schools is provide mindfulness training and really help educators see how they can use that for themselves but also how that can translate into the classroom and what that can do for students learning and mental health and so just I think the focus that Kaiser has on really looking at the whole the whole person and how you know they bring that into the work they do and what you do to ensure their health. You know I think Kaiser has a unique model, it really is kind of a one-stop shop where and I know as a parent and as a busy mom that that has been really important for me being able to you know go to the doctor and have the lab there as well as the pharmacy but I also think just that the model of the preventative health care and again ensuring that it's not just you come into the doctor and that's the only time we think about you or care about you but it's about what you know what are you doing before and after to ensure that that you're healthy. Our students can't learn when they're not in school because they're sick or they're experiencing health care crises whether that be physical or mental and so thank you to the people who do the good work of ensuring that our students are healthy and safe and to all the workers at Kaiser I would just say thank you for your continued work. Congratulations Kaiser Permanente Colorado! Thanks for 50 years of keeping Colorado healthy here's to 50 more.


to team keep it clean. Boy, it's been a lot of rumors just floating around about Lamar Jackson. He is the center of it all.  So these things, they get to flying. And one of the latest rumors, not even latest rumors, because this was first said like a couple of weeks ago, it came from former Raven, wide receiver, Quadri Ishmael. Shout out to him, by the way, had a lot of fun the other night speaking to both him and Sarah Ellison on the Twitter Spaces and shout out to anybody that checked that out. But he said it on there, on that Twitter space that we did the other night. He also said it weeks ago on the show that him and Sarah normally do on Twitter Spaces. He said it again in a video that he did with Forward No Sports Talk. Shout out to my boys James and Glenn. But so he's, it ain't like he said it one time and then it was like, okay, no, okay, let me see if he gets out there. No, he said it and he stood on it. He said that Lamar Jackson turned down a contract offer from the Baltimore Ravens. He said it was a nice contract offer. He said it was generational wealth. That's a phrase that he can has continued to use when speaking about the contract. Now, he hasn't given out any details on the contract at all. But he said it is a lot of money. It's a lot of money. We don't know the structure, the way that it was set up as far as the year and the terms and all that, the guaranteed money, signing, but we don't know any of that. He knows that, but we don't know any of that. But he said it was a pretty nice contract. So this has led a lot of people to jump to their own conclusions. It's led a lot of people to just be like, oh man, why would Lamar Jackson do that? Why did he turn it down? But I'm here to sort of try to pump the brakes just a little bit if we can. The reason I say that, we know that Lamar Jackson is not a traditional quarterback. He's not just your average quarterback back there behind his offensive line. Lamar Jackson is different. Lamar Jackson is a generational talent. But Lamar Jackson, he does a lot of things his way. He does a lot of things in a different way. A lot of people don't like that, but it's crazy because he's judged differently even when he does things a traditional way. Like for instance, have you ever worked at a job that you've been at for a little while? You might have been there like three, four years, and you've been doing a great job at your job. Your job, they can rely on you. They can count on you. You have done so many things for the company that you've worked for.  And they're like, all right, they slide an offer across the table. You look at it. And what do you do? Do you take the first offer that you're given? No, you negotiate. You negotiate. This is something that's normal in life when it comes to jobs. And this is something that is normal when it comes to contracts in the NFL.  What's wrong with him? No, this is normal. This is regular. This is all part of negotiating a deal, especially, especially as a quarterback. Because I do believe what Quadri was saying that it is probably some generational wealth. And he said it could set up Lamar's kids and his kids, kids and all that. Yes, I believe that is true. But wouldn't you expect it to be true of a contract for a quarterback?  Like there ain't going to be no penny snow. This is going to be some serious cash. Like even if, and I'm just using this as an example, he did not say this, but I'm just using it as an example, even if Lamar Jackson was only paid top 10 money, not top five or not even top three. Even if he was only paid top 10 money in his QB contract, it will still be generational wealth. So that whole generational wealth part, it really didn't sway me one way or no. Oh man, I can't believe you turned it. No, it's going to be generational wealth no matter what it ends up being. But let's not forget that you don't accept the first offer that's given to you. It's all part of negotiating. That's life. So with that being said, it's also started some narratives for some people. Oh man, Lamar Jackson, this shows that he doesn't want to be with the Baltimore Ravens. Well, not necessarily. I don't believe that either. It could show a couple of things. One, we talked about it already. It's all about negotiating. It's all about negotiating. He could feel like, Hey, you know what? Nice offer. Nice offer. But let me play this year out and then we'll see how it goes. Then let's really talk. Let's come back to these contract talks later on down the road. How about we do that? So he could be betting on himself. Another reason that he may have turned it down is because, Hey, what? Is this top five money? Okay, cool. Is it top four? Okay, cool. Is it top three, top two? No, I want to be the number one paid quarterback. It's a possibility. And it's all about timing. When it comes to QB contracts, it is all about timing. All about timing. So that could be it. Another reason that he may have turned this thing down, if that is the case, could be he may be looking around like, Hmm, the way that these Baltimore Ravens are set up. I just, I don't know if they really put their best foot forward for me, for us, for the team. I just really want to see what these guys can do. Really want to see the team that they build around me before I go into a long-term commitment with this team. Because I've been here for four years. It's been a wonderful four years, been a fun four years, but they've done a lot of right by me, but they've also done some wrong and not even necessarily some wrong, but there's some opportunities for growth. There's some opportunities to be better that we may have missed out on. Number one, it just starts with the offensive line. That's where it starts. That's not where it ends, but that is the beginning. He may be looking at the whole Orlando Brown Junior thing. And I've heard a lot of people say, Oh man, the Ravens, Orlando Brown Junior forced their hand. No, he didn't. He just said he wanted to be traded. Did Ravens have to trade him? No. Did he all of a sudden become a GM when he said he wanted to be traded and he wanted to play left tackle? No. Did he have the leverage or have the power? No. He didn't. He really didn't. Now we love Adolfo away. Shout out to him. But with Orlando Brown Junior, with that whole trade, that weakened the offensive line. And they never really found an adequate replacement for him. They signed Alejandro Villanueva, but well, yeah, you know, and you saw, even though he was supposed to play right tackle this year and things changed and he ended up having to play left tackle. But still, Orlando Brown Junior was definitely the better option. And of course, I know for a lot of people hindsight is 2020. You could always look back and be like, Oh man, if they wouldn't traded him, and then Ronnie Stanley probably got a good could have got hurt and then we could have had him playing like I remember me before I didn't want him to be traded. I did not want Orlando Brown Junior to be traded. But if he was traded, then I felt like, All right, well, they got to have a plan in place. They got to do something there right tackle. And they obviously traded him before the draft. So they had options. They certainly did. So we'll see what goes down with that. He could also be waiting. So he could be looking at to see what the Ravens did in the past and be like, but he could also be waiting to see what the Ravens do in the future when they come to really building a fortress, building a wall, building that protection, having his security guards up front. As far as the offensive line, he could see how the Ravens handle this. He could see how the Ravens handle Bradley Bozeman or who that's going to be. If it's going to be Bradley Bozeman, if it's going to be Tristan Cologne Castillo, if they're going to end up drafting somebody and a lot of people talking about Lindenbaum. So we'll see what happens with that off. A lot of people talking about bringing Ryan Jensen back. That's a possibility. He can see what they do at right tackle. If it's going to be Joanne James, if it's going to be a free agent, if it's going to be a draft pick, what's going to happen there. He could be waiting. Hey, Ronnie Stanley, let's see how Ronnie Stanley comes back. Let's see if he's truly healthy. Let's see if he can hold it down. Ben Cleveland, how he going to put, that's a, and these are all just possibilities. He's all possibilities of what he could be thinking about when it comes to his future. Another thing he could be thinking about. All right, Greg Roman is going to be here. Let's see how this goes. Let's see how this goes. Let's see how we orchestrate this offense. Let's see if they let me put my best foot forward. Let's see if I put my best foot forward in this offense. Let's see what we can do. Let's really try to just reach our full potential because I don't feel like we've reached our full potential yet. And I want to because I want to show the world. We were doing some things this year early on. We certainly were, but we just, we didn't quite get it. And now with everybody coming back with all the guys coming back and hopefully they'll come back just as good or even better as they were before. All right, let's run it back and see how this thing goes. Same offense, but all the players that we were missing and then some for whoever we add. So it's a lot of possibilities of things that could be going on in Lamar's head. But my biggest thing, I just, I didn't want new narratives to be created based off of this, even though they're already going to get created. I can't stop no narrative from happening. But I just wanted to explain some different possibilities or some different things that could be going on, not only from Lamar Jackson, but from his camp period. And something that we've mentioned on here before too, a few times, if y'all been listening, is that right now after this past season would be the perfect time for Eric Dacosta and the Ravens to sign Lamar Jackson to a long-term deal because it would be based off of, obviously it's about the future, but it's about the past too. And it is what have you done for me lately, League. And they could be like, oh, look Lamar, look at that. Oh, your numbers, look at these numbers. Oh, your interceptions were up. Oh, your touchdowns were down. Oh, man, look at that. Wow, Lamar. Yeah, this is what we're going to give you. There you go. And let's see how it goes. There you go. Take that. He could have been looking at that. He could have looked at that like, hold up, man. But then on the flip side, this is where he has all the leverage. He could be like, all right, cool, but no, I don't like this. Yeah, my numbers were down. Look at how he performed, but look at everything that was around me. Look at my situation because what a lot of people keep on doing, they give the injury pass. They give the injury pass to coaching. Whenever you bring up coaching, people say, oh, man, oh, well, this coach, that's not fair to this coach because this coach didn't have this player, that player, they were missing a lot of guys due to injury. But you don't hit people saying that about Lamar Jackson. You don't hit people saying that about Lamar Jackson. When they talk about his numbers, when they talk about him having this down season, they don't bring up the injuries. They say, all Lamar should have been better. All Lamar should have done this. All Lamar should have done that, but they don't give him the injury pass. So Lamar could use that and just use himself to his advantage and all his leverage because he could say, look, yeah, look at the injuries, but even without the injuries, look at what you all did without me. Look at how successful you are or you all were without me. Look what you all did when I didn't play or really look at what you all didn't do when I didn't play. How was that? How was that experience? What was that like? How was life when all that stuff was going down? And that's all he had to say. That's your negotiation tactic. It's all about leverage. It's all about seeing how you can get the best deal. And of course, it's going to take some compromise on both EDC side. It's going to take some compromise on Lamar Jackson side. It's going to take compromise from both parties, of course. But that's how it goes in life when it comes to reaching new agreements with somebody. Team Keep It Clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all so much. I hope all of y'all are doing really good. Eric DeCosta. He'll have a chance to address it tomorrow because you know somebody going to ask, hey, so what's the status about Lamar Jackson's contract? How's that coming along? You know people going to ask about Lamar's contract. They're going to ask about Harbaugh's contract. But Lamar's contract is the one that people want to know about the most. And they'll have a plethora of other questions for him as well. But I love y'all. Appreciate y'all. And we out.


Hey everyone, my name is Malte and I'm a member of the technical steering committee for the AMP project and the tech lead for the team at Google that's contributing to AMP. Now, I want to recognize that there are worse problems in the world right now than JavaScript frameworks and web performance. I want to thank the protesters in the streets and unequivocally state that black lives matter. In today's talk, I'll talk a little bit around the original thinking about AMP, how it evolved over time, now how we think it will develop in the future. Now, thinking back to like the summer of 2015, this post by the wire, even though it's a little bit older, was kind of capturing the sentiment at the time. Like the web is that native is taking over. And also at this time, platforms like Facebook and articles and Apple news are kind of coming up. And we were having all these conversations, publishers who were talking to us and were worried about the situation and wanted to find a solution that worked for them and worked for users and kind of made the web become viable for users again. And obviously for us at Google, this was also really important because we were extraordinarily successful on the web. And kind of out of this sentiment, the AMP project was born with the vision of creating a strong user-first open web forever. Now, we highlight user-first because it's really about rethinking how we can do things in a way that they really think about what the users want and make it right for them instead of, for example, putting a pop-up app in front of everyone. However, for it to stick around forever, it also must work for publishers and merchants because if their business aren't successful, you know, that website will just go away. Now, one good way I think to think about how we wanted AMP to be was to kind of think about web performance as this race, different race cars. And so certainly in 2015, I'm not sure that's actually changed. It was at the average mobile site, you know, just wasn't doing quite so well and was kind of there in the back of that race, right? But we also realized that there wasn't actually, this is really important, that was not a technology problem. You could make a website with great UX, great performance, who was right there at the top, right? If you just hand tune it, if you were an expert. Now, our goal with AMP was to get up there in the front. We were not aiming to win against every hand-tuned website in the world. We just wanted to be up there. And this is really important. We wanted everyone to be up there, all AMP documents. And this actually brings me to a point that I don't think is talked about enough, which is that web performance is biased. Roughly, the smaller a website is, the less well-funded it is, the slower it is. And I'm really, really proud that AMP does not have this bias. Very roughly, you know, obviously there's some variation, but like, AMP documents have quite uniform speed, even though there's huge diversity in how they look and how their experience is. And, you know, I think it's fair to say that this worked in terms of adoption. There's now tens of millions of websites using AMP, billions of pages. You can count them, and you also, like, it doesn't matter, right? Like, it's a very large number. So that's kind of how we get started. And then, as it does, the internet got mad at us, right? And I actually want to acknowledge that, like, many, you know, there's complaints and criticism about AMP. And I actually personally agree with many of them. And we've taken that to heart and worked with them, right? I want to broadly summarize the known issues that AMP was facing as one of them being awkward URLs on Google. That was largely based because of the iframe-based viewer, which created that privacy-preserving instant loading. And on the other hand, there was this feature called TopStore Parasite on Google that relied on a deep AMP integration. And this was exclusive to AMP.  And I think that's really fair. So we've worked on these issues. And today, with the sign-exchange technology and supported browsers, those awkward URLs are no longer a thing. And secondly, this was announced really recently, and I'm going to talk about this a little bit later in the talk, with Google's Page Experience ranking announcement, the exclusivity of AMP for the TopStore Parasite is going away. Now, we worked on these issues, but we didn't stop there. AMP started so many open-source projects with this benevolent dictator model, which is awkward and weird. And apparently that was me. And it certainly doesn't represent all the constituencies of this vast open-source project with all these stakeholders. And so we updated it to a modern open-governance model largely actually inspired by Node.js, who I think was in the forefront of kind of rethinking how open-source governance should work. There's a technical steering committee and advisory committee and so forth. The second thing we, you know, were planning to do at the time was to bring this project, which was, you know, formally as in copyright owned by Google, into our foundation. And so last fall, it was announced that the AMP project would join the incubation phase to become a project of the OpenJS Foundation. And so today, I'm incredibly proud to announce that the AMP project has completed the incubation project and is joining the OpenJS Foundation as a growth project. There's actually one more announcement, which I'm extraordinarily happy about, just came in literally today. We have a new member in the AMP technical steering committee, Cassiana, who's representing Axios Media, which is one of the, you know, a very important publisher in the digital native space. And we're actually really happy to have her because so far on the steering committee, this is different from the advisory committee, obviously, we did not have a representation from publishers with platforms like Pinterest, Twitter, Microsoft, but like there was no publisher representation. This is really amazing to have her. Now, looking a little bit ahead, I think the mission of AMP continues to be more important than ever. We still see that bias of web performance being better for large sites as a whole for the web, and users also, you know, continue to seek out the streamlined experiences that we find in wallet gardens. Now, I touched on this a little bit earlier. I just want to talk really quick about that, what Google is calling page experience signals and ranking. So this is largely based on something called core web vitals, which are three metrics, largest contentful paid, first input delay and cumulative layout shift. Now, these are all metrics that went through the respective working groups in the W3C, representing loading, interactivity, visual stability of our websites. And kind of they're taking together the bundled with like other signals like mobile friendliness, safe browsing, HTTPS. I don't think they're as important because nowadays most websites actually kind of do okay on them. So it's really these metrics which are collected using a Chrome user experience report that drive these ranking factors, right? And it doesn't matter how a website is built, technology is not taken into account, it's just basically what is the user experiencing that's not counting. And so I would summarize that a little bit like this, basically Google saying, hey, we prefer if you provide a good page experience, we literally do not care how you do it. And some desks will say, cool, I use X, my favorite framework, and they're happy. But we also know there's folks who are going to say, yeah, but some guidance would be nice. And we want to make AMP to be the framework of their choice if they choose, right? And again, bring, give everyone the opportunity to be right there at the top of that web performance raise. We want to make AMP the most cost effective and simple solution for publishers to create great page experience. And we want to match or exceed the user experience that closed platforms provide and do that by default so that without major UX project for every single web publisher on the web. We want to unbiased great page experience. We want to provide good performance to every website. We want to provide good accessibility for every website, overall great user experience. And we want to achieve that while keeping the business goals of the website owners in mind because if they aren't successful, the websites aren't sticking around and that would not fulfill our mission. That is all I had today. Thank you very much. I'll be tweeting out a link to a blog post that has a bit of a longer version of AMP's history. But this was the 10 minute version. Thank you very much.


My whole career I always had the same approach but against Justin Verlander after the second time I faced him I said from now on I'm gonna look down in his own for the fastball and that's the only chance I got against him. I kept my eye level down here the entire time. Anything up here I would never would offer at it because he would pound me in hard but only thing for a strike inside would be down. So one or two pitches a game I was hoping to get that pitch the entire time against Justin Verlander. And what part of the field were you trying to hit it when you got your fastball down? Well with Justin I was trying to hit for the first time trying to hit over the shortstop's head because the breaking ball is so great you cannot you got it you got to choose your pours with one of the guys this dominant and that's what you have with Walker Bealer. You got to look down in his own and try to split the plate and try to make sure as a right-hander trying to look over the shortstop or if you want to zone them out and go opposite field I will go opposite also. 97 up here folks you dream about hitting that but it's hard to get there that's that's that's the impossible dream for here right there because this possible racing right here especially 95 plus 97 the way guys are throwing right now it's hard to get on top of it we we practice that like you guys know that we practice try to get on top of the ball we practice but not at that level right there we trying to get it on top of the ball a straight zone down here but once you go up here a couple of inches higher it's hard to talk to match that. Now show me your swing when you were coming at this ball if this ball was coming right here that's your swing now if you don't mind showing me the modern-day swing of a young kid how do they come at the ball now launch angle so you see this angle right here guys I would say anything above his imaginary line right here I'm gonna leave it alone and my eyes would focus down because I knew if the ball was here or higher it was unhittable especially there was some Velo if you're throwing 88 nobody does that anymore maybe in high school you're good but you got to get the ball down I got you to swing on that

It's the 40th time that I stand in front of you to welcome you cordially to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. The thing that has been more impactful for me this year than any other year is the actions in Davos, particularly around redesign, rethink, rebuild, agreement to take some action. So I think that's an important step forward. What I like about the forum is the interdisciplinary approach between politics, science, culture and business. This is my 22nd year I'm participating in this forum and I think it evolves in the right direction. We are facing the highest level of unemployment ever recorded. Youth unemployment three times higher than adult unemployment and we're also facing a jobless recovery. This is the issue of today, the social issue and the political issue. We need a different set of arrangements. We must step out of the positions we occupy to rethink the institutions that will hold us together. We must commit ourselves differently to the outcomes because in so many big decisions it hasn't been possible to bind countries. I think last year's session was really a little bit shell-shocked in the wake of the global crisis and I am delighted to see that as always we have regrouped and rethought our priorities and our missions and I think the subjects of this year's forum are very relevant indeed. If inadequate regulation is not addressed, I believe the consequences could actually be worse than before the crisis. I think the themes at the World Economic Forum this year could be more relevant and the reason is that I'm sure we're going to face one more recession again. And if we walk away from this recession not learning the lessons of this recession and not rethinking, rebuilding and redesigning our organization, our society, our culture, we will make a big mistake. After all, this is a global village somehow. Whatever happens in the US or in Europe in a way at least psychologically affects us. But we didn't have any problem.  We didn't have a crisis in the real sense as we saw it in the US or in Europe. How do we combine the public opinion frustration and the necessary time that it will take for the banking industry to restore some of its parameters and to rehabilitate itself with those public opinions? Big timing issue. Don't underestimate the world is different, the dynamics of power blocks is different and the self-confidence of emerging nations is for completely different order of magnitude today. We have to recognize that this is the first crisis in a globalized world and this will require new answers. It has not only to do with the financial sector itself, it has to do with some of the global imbalances and we have to work on finding solutions to that. And this will create a lot of uncertainties and a lot of trade-offs. We've got to move away from merely a focus on shareholders and talk about multiple stakeholders because multiple stakeholders is not just a utopian notion, it's reality. This year one of the most fascinating things we've seen is how people really galvanize to action. The World Economic Forum, Clinton's Foundation, Clinton himself coming here, talking to groups of all kinds, people from both public and private sectors coming together and talking about something very concrete, very important that is happening right now. The pitch here was for the private sector to come and invest in Haiti. Most would never have thought of it in a thousand years. So it's raised the visibility of a very poor country with a large surplus pool of labor very close to the largest consumer market in the world, the USA. If that stimulates some interest, all the better. Every company should take the social responsibility for the reduction of energy consumption and reduction of emission of carbon. I realize how important it is for the world to get a success in Cancun, how important it is to start taking actions today. For me it's clear the scientific evidence is overwhelming. The effects of global warming are already affecting ordinary people, the life of ordinary people in developing and developed countries. We're announcing that we'll spend over $10 billion on vaccines that will help invent new vaccines, that will help get some new vaccines out, that will help increase the coverage. It is amazing how much innovation the Forum has developed over the last, I would really say five years, and how it has transformed bringing more content, having strong regional organizations, more ambitious also on what agendas we want to define. This role is much needed in a globally more networked world than we've ever seen. When I look at this year compared to maybe five years ago, the dialogue is richer, it's more honest, it's more transparent, and I think as we get there it really assures the future of the World Economic Forum because very few places can we have that transparent debate. This year I think the mood is a mood of soul searching, but also looking for solutions. There are lots of sessions where people are putting ideas on the table and certainly looking for opportunities to share what has worked, what hasn't worked. I'm very happy that in Davos we are talking about more core values now. I think this means that we are sharing the problems altogether. It's not my problem, it's not his problem only, it's everybody's problem. When it's everybody's problem, I think we can solve it.

Welcome to the Advocate, your Sunday reminder that important conversations are among the necessary tools for a senior society. I'm asking today, I'm talking about the decay in Nigeria, comfort is talking about integrity and all really cares. Elijah is talking about marketing your candidate through internet and attention to details. Today, expect a miss of seriousness, laughter and jabs. And we are here to please after this break, welcome again. The decay in Nigerian system, our collective responsibilities. Nigerians over the years have suffered numerous abuses of identity. And the government moves and actions do not indicate any hope of things getting better anytime soon. The gross effect of this is evident in the recent line of actions of our citizens. Involve in massive migration, which is known in the streets palace, has jagwa, literally translating to seeking alternative land of greener pasture. But then, uninteresting, Nigerians are contributing greatly to the growth and development of the world economy, as seen in venture capital investment in Africa. A statistics from Patek shows an investment of 5.2 billion US dollars from 681 equity runs up 264% from 2020 figure of 1.4 billion US dollars in Africa. The firm said the number of deals is recorded among almost doubled increasingly 92% year over year from 355 deals in 2020. The year 2020 and 2021 reports said Nigerian retained the fourth spot hired of South African, Egypt, Kenya, Senegal, among other countries, with 63% approximately received by FinTech, 7% by logistics, 6% edutech, 5% e and social commons, and 5% enterprise among others as such 2021. It is crystal clear that the heavy investment tailored to Nigeria display a clear potential of great nation, and it is expected to be our collective responsibility to fix the issue affecting the country. Nevertheless, what we basically lack is a system and people at the hands of affairs lack the requisite knowledge and the will power. Collectively, we need to start answering to reality by calling a spade a spade and remove the bad ones systematically. This is a process that requires sacrifice and must be ready to pay the price. Come forward, what do you see? No, me my problem with all these statistics is that somebody somewhere or some company or group or whoever sit down somewhere draw out statistics tell us oh you know people are rushing in droves to Nigeria another one on the other side says no they are not and we are even at the bottom of the food chain. So I think that also contributes to this our irresponsibility if I can put it like that. What we need here you said it is systems we don't need people to tell us anything we need to tell ourselves something we need to look inwards and decide look what do we want to do how do we want to do it are we ready to do it you spoke about JAPAA and it is clear let us be honest the people who are Japan have contributed also to the malice that the country has faced and now that they have contributed to it I'm not saying it is wrong to Japan I'm not saying that everybody is doing it but what I'm saying is that as a Nigerian there is a time that me and you even sitting here have contributed to the problem and the only way that we can get out of this too is for the same us to contribute to how to the system honestly and we are going to talk about it going forward I think you know two of our topics we are going to go on issues that go back to your topic so there is actually synergy in what we are talking about so for me I'm just tired of the statistics and I think it is time that no no seriously I don't want to hear anything about 62% again and 72% Nigeria is first among equals last among equals I'm tired of it we need to work Elijah what do you say to that well let me commend her annoyance we actually need that level of annoyance in our consciousness as Nigerians statistics has been something that I think some people in government have been using to either tell them safe lies to like you know if you watch most times when you hear vice president quoting statistics if we start with what bank said I ask why can't Nigerians have their own book of statistics and then sometimes to we are seeing the challenges are safe and then some other persons in the chamber of power will come and quote their own statistics to favor their inactions to support their inactions statistics or no statistics he will waste the shoe knows where okay just like what you both said exactly a system is necessary but we should not at the same time live aside statistics because it is evident in FinTech we can see the likes of PSTAC we can see what they have been doing we can see the likes of team apps we can see the likes of Flutter waves how they have simplified payment and a lot of jobs has been created aside that you know statistics also is a work up call for us to know that if we bring a system if you go back to years back in banking system you have to queue there are some time you have to make calls you cannot withdraw money unless it is the branch where you open your account but systematically it improved but right now you don't even need to get to the bank to get basic financial services so Hussein you may be confused what are we talking about now what are we talking about the influx of businesses that Nigerians have undertaken that are able to simplify our lives are we talking about a system failure in our country that is making our country difficult for us to live that people are living because these are two different issues so what I am trying to say is I am taking finance as one of the yastic to discuss the FinTech has actually helped us to destabilize bring a system into the financial ecosystem if we can replicate that the same thing in edu like we have asus strike ongoing now if you have edu tech that is influx people come in it will destabilize that power of the asus strike of people learning one or two things and if you build a system around the government entirely transport system management health system and what have you so when you have a system it has to checkmate the abnormalities it helps to know who is working who is not working and what are the problems here of course would now be private hands coming into it because if you go to public private partnership or government subsidizing and making it easier for people for example your transport system you are talking about to move around when you go into when you said edu tech and you were talking about asus I am thinking that already the monster the demons in that closet we have not covered it yet honestly no I am thinking and I thought the major issue of even the asus strike actually is a systematic thing it is actually an issue of a system somebody is trying to bring you one system to checkmate something another group is saying no no no we are not going to participate in it or all that another one is saying no we are the ones so even there there has to be a clarity as to who is driving education for example who has the power in that sector and therefore who is going to balance it out just to add to what you said and I said political will power so when you see in civil servants there are a lot of people jeopardizing efforts to create that system there are a lot of approaches a lot of proposals that have been sent forward but civil servants and public servants are jeopardizing that effort because of political will power so when you are saying who is to handle it I think it is the government if the government is ready the government will make it happen with the government I think we all need to focus on our fundamentals fundamentals are the realistic things on the ground definitely when the fundamentals are sorted out the technicals which are the statistics we take care of it safe okay Elijah will be talking about marketing your candidacy after the break


Why exposure is important when learning a second language? Unlike learning a first language, learning a second language is a task that can sometimes seem frustrating and at times even impossible. There are many reasons for this as learning a second language is very different than learning your mother tongue. Firstly, there are biological factors involved in the fact that normally children tend to assimilate things more easily than adults. Secondly, it is often harder to get the same level of exposure to the language than it is when learning a native language or repetition from parents etc is constant. That is why when you sign up for an English class, or any other language for that matter, teachers will try to replicate that scenario with endless repetitions and fun games, because the most crucial thing is getting exposure to the new language. The Importance of the Learning Environment According to a well-known study of second language exposure, the quality of the language environment that the student is surrounded by is crucial to success in learning a new language. On the other hand, the same study points out that if a student is only exposed to classroom drills and dialogues, they might acquire substantial mastery of classroom communication skills but still struggle to communicate in a natural language environment. Therefore, exposure to the new language should not be the only focus when learning that language, or they risk failing to know the correct usage of language or when to use it. As an EFL student myself at one point, I experienced this first hand. The Impact of Genuine Language Exposure Grammar and vocabulary are without a doubt an essential part of speaking and writing in any language. However, it wasn't until I started getting exposure from the outside world and comprehending the news and other TV shows that I really started to get a grasp of the language. I remember looking around my classroom, and realizing that the students that were surrounded by people who spoke the same language were in a level far behind those who were more exposed to the new language on a daily basis. It is important to note that living in a country where the spoken language is English made it a lot easier to get the exposure outside of the classroom. However, many people tend to make friends with people that speak the same language, and or work at establishments owned by people from the same country, so they are never really challenged to improve their new language. Don't Be Afraid to Make Mistakes Obviously different languages have different levels of difficulty, but one thing that everyone that speaks more than one language can agree on is that it is difficult and it can be stressful learning a new language, at least in the beginning. It is imperative that a student learning a new language is aware of the importance of genuine exposure, so when they are not in class they are still getting exposed to the language. It is also important for the student to understand that making a mistake on pronunciation or structure is part of the learning process and those very mistakes are what essentially will make them stronger at mastering a new language.
