Good afternoon and welcome. I am Asif Sheikh, Senior Advisor here at CSIS, and our future-oriented topic today is Global Priorities for the Sustainable Development Agenda. I think we're in for a real treat because we have a truly stellar group of speakers, a panel covering a very broad spectrum of developing countries and developing country issues. Now, the unfortunate part is we have very little time. You've all read their bios, you can Google them, and in most cases you can Wikipedia them. So I will just provide the briefest of introductions so we can have maximum time listening to the people that we came here to listen to. After we elicit some opening comments from each of our panelists, I will try to ask one or two provocative questions just to prime the pump and then we'll turn it over to Q&A. During the Q&A, I ask that each of you who has a question, please make it a question and not a commentary. Kindly make it 60 seconds or less. I would really hate to have to cut off anyone in such a distinguished audience, but would only do so out of respect for our panel and for those in the audience who have come here to listen to them. So I think we'll have a wonderful session. So without further delay, let me introduce our panelists and let me warn in advance that I'm not good at following scripts. So I'll introduce panelists in a certain order, but then I'll ask them to speak in a different order because life is more entertaining that way. On our far right we have Dr. Shahad Javed Burki, former vice president of the World Bank and former interim finance minister of Pakistan. Next to him we have Dr. Jean Palame Maturin, former economic advisor to the prime minister of Haiti. And then we have Dr. Juan Jose Daboub, former managing director of the World Bank Group and former minister of finance of El Salvador. And finally, next to me we have Ms. Amina J. Muhammad, who is UN Secretary General's special advisor on post-2015 planning. So very much focused on the topic that brings us here today and former senior special assistant to three former Nigerian presidents. So join me in welcoming this extraordinary group of people. And without any further delay, I would like to ask Dr. Daboub to open it up with five or so minutes of remarks, get the ball rolling, and then we'll move along to each of our panelists and then go to questions. Thank you, Steve. Good afternoon and thank you for attending this session. Global priorities for the sustainable development agenda, it's something that we hear a lot about, and I think it is important to define properly, to apply in a very executive manner and have the right matrix to actually measure what matters. Many developing countries today have abundant resources and yet in significant potential, yet because of what we call governance issues, they tend to not perform at some of their peers. And so I'd like to start with an example of the northern triangle of Central America, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. I am from El Salvador and so that's very close to home. In the last few months, there has been an orchestrated effort to put together what is called Alianza por el Progreso or por la Prosperidad, Alliance for Prosperity, which has several pillars including some very important ones on traditional economic goals, objectives and needs on the social front, but interestingly enough, even if modestly, but on building and strengthening institutional capacity, which I think it's something to recognize. So could an effort like this, if it succeeds, be used as an example or as an input for the international development agenda? And I hope that in the next four minutes, plus the Q&A and the conversation from the rest of the members of the panel and the conversation, we can reach some interesting conclusions. I will do it building on three ideas and a constructive criticism here and there. A, demand versus supply-driven development agenda. B, a rather obsolete spider web of development agencies who are more focused on processes than necessarily on results, which I think should be the actual focus. And third, a short one and a half minute story about my own country, El Salvador, that I think shows how when you have economic and political freedom, you can actually help lift people out of poverty. I come from the private sector and for 12 years, I was in government in my country, three different administrations without belonging to any political party then or now, and then as if suggested, I was at the World Bank as managing director and responsible for 110 countries, Africa, the Middle East, East Asia and the Pacific and Latin America. And one of the conclusions we shouldn't be earth breaking, we heard something about this in the previous panel, is that private sector job creation, at least in my view, is one of the best, if not the best tool to actually provide the dignity and success that people deserve one and need. So the number one priority in my view for any development agenda should be that one. And so I'm oversimplifying things, but I think that when we fall into these 25, 30, 50 goals and objectives, I think we tend to miss the boat precisely for some of the points I will make. So while it is important to build a demand driven agenda, one thing not ignore the reality of the taxpayers of the countries who are actually contributing from a developed country perspective to provide support to developing countries. And so by the same token, there is often a mismatch between what a country puts as priorities and what some of the donors have as a priority. So often this mismatch represents, in my view, an opportunity. Just like in markets, whenever there is a mismatch between supply and demand, someone can benefit from the opportunity that that represents. So how are priorities set today? Well, President X of developing country Y is concerned about rose, water, health and education, while donor A of country B is concerned about gender, climate change and inclusiveness. They are all very, very important areas. We all need to work in all of those. They are all about improving people's lives and livelihood. So where is the root of the mismatch? On one hand, President X is actually thinking more about the next election than the next generation of his or her citizens. And on the other hand, donor A, many times under pressure from some stakeholders is subject to budgetary cycles and political interest. And at the same time, the real people, the ones we actually are trying to help, are not necessarily seated at the table. They usually not represented. And so to make this even a little bit more complex, I talk about the spiderweb of organizations, the way they are structured, and I'm talking about some of the organizations I have worked for and that are sitting around the table and in the room, the way they are set to my, it might be, debilitates significantly the accountability and the responsibility that many of those organizations have. There are big words like consensus, which of course is important, but that means going at the speed of the slowest. There needs to be a little bit more pragmatism and convergence of ideas or of needs so that things can move a little bit faster. So how do we address such much match of priorities? And are the development goals practical and achievable in order to improve people's lives and livelihood? Because I don't think we can argue against them. So here is a short story about my country of Salvador, which hopefully will start to provide some answers to the question before us. El Salvador went from hardship to investment grave in a relatively short period of time. For those of you who remember, between 1979 and 1992, 5% of our population was killed. About 22% of our population migrated primarily to the United States. Inflation was on average 30%. Unemployment above 12%. The infrastructure of the country, the public infrastructure, 90% of it was totally destroyed. Credibility, zero. Nobody for different reasons will support what the country needed at that time. So after a systematic process of reforms, and you are not going to hear anything different than what actually works in some other countries, where we put a very basic and simple philosophic premise, which was the government should not be an orchestra director, but a referee that attempts to resolve the conflicts among the different actors in our society. We were able to reduce poverty from 49% to 19% access to electricity, water, and telecommunications went from less than 50% to, in some cases, like telecom, over 150%. And in six years, that's between 1992 that we signed the peace agreements to 1998, El Salvador became investment grave, second only to Chile in Latin America. And guess what? By the year 2000 and 2001, respectively, in those two consecutive years, El Salvador even beat Chile in all of the indicators that are relevant. And I have the Wall Street Journal article here. So how do we do it? As I said before, you are not going to hear something that is not too different from what has worked in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Singapore, Korea, or Japan, or Chile for that matter. And that is that we open markets, we became very disciplined in terms of how to use the resources that people were paying. When I became Minister of Finance, there were 113 different taxes, which of course, to start with, nobody was paying completely, but it was very hard to even control that. So that was reduced to three. And if I would have had more time, I would have ended up with just one, because I am a believer of a flat tax. So fiscal discipline was very important. Security was very important, respect for property, private property, and the rule of law extremely important. Today, these five or six elements continue to be the policies that need to be prioritized on. Not that the other ones are not relevant. It's that like mass law hierarchy, you have to start with those that actually enable the environment for the right investments coming from the private sector primarily to take place. So in my humble opinion, this is where you start earning your position in the global arena by leaving by example. Then, and only then, you can actually take control of your destiny, but you do not actually end up needing too much the international community when you end up taking destiny to your own hand. For example, in the years that I was in government, we did not went to development agencies except after the earthquake in 2001 for funding, and we stopped any kind of donors and donations coming to the country. We earned the investment grade, and we went to the markets to raise them up. So nobody had an agenda to impose on us, and we actually were able to have the freedom and the creativeness to do the reforms that took El Salvador from hardship to investment grade. Having said all of this, the example of El Salvador, however, is turning out into a sad story today. After two consecutive populist governments, we are almost back to square one. We have orchestra directors rather than referees. The institutions have been captured to execute a political agenda following an ideology that has proven to fail in North Korea and Cuba or in Venezuela. So would that be the demand-driven development agenda to be supported? Is that the governance model that works? Poverty is back at about 50%. Growth is less than 2%, and regrettably, instead of competing against countries like Chile or some of the more advanced countries, we are fighting the first place for criminal rates in our country today. So this chapter, because it is a chapter that we will overcome, I'm sure of, because Salvadorians are very resilient, gives us two lessons. One, it is better to have an imperfect market than a perfect bureaucrat telling us what to do. And the second lesson is that once you start in the process of alleviating poverty, which takes about one generation, you have to lock in the benefits of such path of progress by having the right institutions in place that increase governance, that minimize or eliminate corruption, and that actually empowers people so that they can take destiny into their own hands. So the development goals should not be those persevering instruments that take us to removing the obstacles that allow people to actually succeed. So good governance, institutions that work and keep the momentum going. One final comment, and we'll be within the six minutes that you gave us, is that how is it that a beautiful in a great country like the United States, in spite of the current, let me be politically correct here, weak leadership continues to lead the world. Two reasons. A, a justice system that works, and B, enough freedom for people to innovate and create. So these are the two elements where I will focus my energies when talking about all of the different whether MDGs or SDGs, because this is what can at the end take us to the, what I said earlier to me is the key element for development which is, and should be our number one priority, private sector job creation. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. I'm going to jump as far geographically across the world as I can, and that would mean it would be Jeb Berkey, although geographically you have both been in Washington at the World Bank, but you bring a lens from Pakistan with your vast experience also in places like China and Latin America. I wonder if you would share your thoughts with us. Thank you, Asif. I have a slightly different take on the topic that we are discussing today. I'd make probably a provocative statement. I would say that since the subject of this particular forum is sustainable development, my view is that we are in a situation where that particular objective cannot be met. So I am not going to talk about specific countries. I'm just going to talk about, for a very brief period, the way I see the global economy is emerging and how the global institutions are not developing in a way that they can handle the challenges of the global economy. If I have an interest, it would be in economic history. And when you look back to 1944, you see that globally, that economically and financially, the world was in turmoil. But few people meeting at Bretton Woods were able to put together a system which worked and worked very well because of three factors. One, there was one country in the United States which was prepared to provide leadership for the new system, the resources to be able to do so. Second, the genius of the people assembled at Bretton Woods was that they were able to create at least two of the three institutions they had planned all along as they were preparing for this session in a way that these institutions worked very well for decades. And here I'm talking about the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which was initially called the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The third institution, World Trade Center, took another 40, 50 years to create because trade, as we know from politics in the United States, is always a very difficult subject to get your arms around. That system worked until about 1991. The only challenge to the system was an ideological challenge. And this involved developing countries with the West on one side and the socialist countries on the other. And there was an ideological confrontation which of the two systems should be favored by the developing world which was then in a state of flux. Suddenly European communism collapsed and the Soviet Union became Russia. There were a bunch of independent states and my friend Francis Fukuyama went to the extent of saying that that was the end of history. That there was going to be only one ideology, one system and one set of institutions supporting it. And that kind of thinking led to the development of ideas on the management of the global economy. Among them something that came to be called the Washington Consensus. My friend over here talked a lot about the private sector, Washington Consensus had three issues. Tremendous role to the private sector. State will step back and not interfere with the working of the private sector. Just a little bit of light regulation. The second was that there will be a lot of back and forth a flow of ideas, goods, commodities between different countries. This was the globalization phase. And the third idea was that democracy was the only system that should be put in place. Democracy is the only system that can give sustainable growth. So in Washington Consensus democracy, private sector and relationships between different countries became the guiding attribute. But now today things are very different. My view is that today we are faced with a situation which is almost as difficult as much in the state of flux as was the situation at the end of the Second World War. What has happened? What has happened is four or five things. Let me list them very quickly. There is... IMF decided two or three months ago not decided, worked out that China had become the largest world economy estimating their GDP on the basis of purchasing power parity. So the United States has lost its role as the premier economy of the world. The second is the enormous amount of accumulation of savings in a few countries, China, Germany, Korea to a certain extent Japan and no institutions which are able to intermediate between those who save and those who need these savings for investment. Third, there is a changing nature of demand in the developing countries. In 1944 when World Bank and other institutions were created the problem was simple. These countries didn't have the savings of capital to develop them or to have them emerge out of difficulties that they had experienced during the war, capital was needed. But now the situation is different. The most important, the most difficult thing that these countries have to do is to find the ways to create infrastructure which would make sustainable development possible. And that is not going to happen by these countries themselves, it's going to happen by the transfer of resources from the big savers to what would be big spenders and you need a new set of institutions. The third is, some people say although I don't fully buy this that the United States has lost the political will to provide leadership and that's happened because this enormous confrontation between two political parties in the states with two very different ideologies. And because of that nothing much is happening in terms of developing an institution structure that can come to the rescue of the global economy which is now faced with some very serious problems. Which is why China has taken some initiatives Asian infrastructure, investment bank, AIB which the United States resisted but was not able to prevent from other countries to join. This is one manifestation of the changing structure, institution structure that we are going to see in the next few years. So I'll conclude by making the following observation. I would say that unless there is political will exercised by all major countries of the type that was exercised in 1944 Bretton Woods we are not going to be able to produce sustainable development in the global economy. We will have frictions, we will have tensions, we will have conflicts and they will be costly and they will set us back from achieving what I consider to be the potential of these countries. Some economists have coined a phrase Larry Summers talks about secular decline. His notion that the period when there was secular increase in GDP all over the world has ended and now we are faced with a situation where GDP rates of growth are not going to reach anywhere near the levels of the past is something that we have to live with. And one final point, economists have really not factored in demographic considerations into their models and into their thinking. We are seeing a fundamental change, a fundamental demographic change which is going to affect all parts of the world. Europe is declining, population is declining, China has now begun to see a decline in its population. The Arab countries, the Muslim countries continue to grow. They have the youngest populations anywhere in the world and United States is the only country in the developed part of the world which still has a positive rate of growth of GDP. So this also needs to be factored in when we think about the future. Thank you very much. I think we have an extremely vigorous discussion going here and it will be fascinating during the Q&A. Since I lived in Nigeria and I started my career at the United Nations, I would like to save you for the last and move to Dr. Matohan from Haiti and Haiti has some unique challenges and you've looked at them through the eyes of both the public sector and the people of Haiti and I wonder if you could share some of your thoughts on what you've heard and what you've experienced. Thank you, Asif. Thank you to Dan and to CSIS for inviting me to participate at this very important session where the topic is a very critical one for the world that we are living in and more importantly for the country like Haiti which suffers a lot not only from the history but also from the modern nature over the last couple of years and we continue to survive and we hope that we can make better than survive. We can imagine ways of coming out of this difficult path and building the future more aggressively but more positively also. Haiti in that topic is a very particular case. We are the only less developing country in the Western Hemisphere. We have the youngest population more than 65% of the Haitians under 45 years old 44% of them has less than 18 years. They call that in Haiti a kind of tsunami because at any moment if nothing's changed with such a population social chaos can happen. It happened that this country that has made history for being the first black republic in the world first group of slaves that has fought the whole international system at that time to become independent and to show to the world that there is other ways of cooperating and to show to the world that there is a possibility of stopping human slavery so this country has paid that very, very hard. Now this country has also still has a lot of opportunities. In the past this country used to be the first or the richest country to serve the French kingdom and now it is the poorest one. Despite that Haiti, where it is located is a critical, very critical point in the whole Caribbean because it is located in the middle of the two Americas and just 60 miles away on the northern Haiti you have the most important road for the world trade. Haiti has some critical resources many more resources in Haiti every kind of every kind of agricultural goods can be produced. Haiti has also a big and growing population we are more than 12 million on the part of the island but we have also close to 5 million Haitians living in the diaspora. Haiti has a critical set of challenges because of political instability because of poverty because of vulnerability of the environment that justify a big interest for Haiti when the international world is thinking about sustainable development, inclusion income reduction of income illegality etc. So my understanding after many years working as a consultant for the international agencies but also as a former economist advisor to many prime ministers but also as an entrepreneur realized that at that point of history Haiti will need to look at maybe four basic conditions to restructure its society and its economy in order to to let itself to the world that is moving. It's very basic Haiti need to have legitimate authorities that are designated by its population and more freely so that these people can carry the goals of the nation. Second issue is that the fact that the people can give legitimacy through democratic election for the bracket around democratic election this legitimate leaders should take into account the set of what's the so-called stakeholders that this country has that they can build trust among the poorest and the richest because in this country the divide is very big between very few people which hold significant portion of wealth and very large portion of population that has nothing so we need to bring them closer or to get them closer they need to work together. The third condition is the relationship between Haiti and the international world and the international partners. Dr. Daboud was talking some minutes ago about the differential between the goals between the national interest and what the international partners considers as a priority so this is something that needs to be looked at and the fourth condition is related to history with the Haitian traditions with the Haitian culture the Haitian identity which is a bit different inside the whole Caribbean. So based on that we think that from that kind of legitimate leadership that can connect the international and the local interest in the perspective of serving for the betterment of the Haitians there is now a need to increase the wealth that can be produced inside of this country because this country for long the philosophy was that it was not too good to be rich and I think we cannot move out of poverty without increasing the wealth that can be produced in this country. So to get that done I think there is four major reforms that need to take place so the first one is a set of reforms that can modernize the whole way of doing things in this country the whole way of doing business in this country to get the state fixed but also to build trust into the society and the second we will come with a set of decentralization process because today this country is very concentrated around Potter Prince so we will need to bring the whole decentralization process so that instead of people to come to the state now the state and the services will have to move to the people in the other part of the country we have lost so many lives during the earthquake because the critical services were all concentrated in Potter Prince so people were coming everywhere to come to Potter Prince so now we need to make the other way so to get that done the critical support will be the infrastructures and for getting such infrastructure infrastructures in place the state doesn't have to control everything but the state has to make infrastructures a priority and the type of infrastructure that can boost the growth and push Haiti to that century and the last dimension is the security and the justice system today without a digital system that works that can make people feel confident and safe with respect of property rights with less impunity etc it may be very difficult to get this country on its way and so today in this reflection on how to build a more sustainable world in Haiti we think that it cannot be done without inclusion and how to include people in such a country I think there is a set of public policy and a set of incentives that should be put together public policies should target to education and professional training very young populations need to be in condition to move forward based on their skills and I can tell you without education I won't be able to be sitting here with you given the fact that from a very, very poor family without that unique opportunity I won't be able to make it be very helpful for the country if they have that same opportunity second is a very significant boost in job creation and an equal chance for women because there is much more women in Haiti than men so it needs to be the same thing too the third dimension is the possibility for Haiti to be able to talk on its own it happened that many people tried to talk on behalf of Haiti but they don't know what really Haiti needs and how Haitians could organize themselves to meet what they need so in this process of engaging the way that people are interacting in the world and they need to have it made in a sustainable way I think a country like Haiti should be used again as a model if they give a chance to this country to take on itself its destiny thank you very much Mohammad you are focused directly on the sustainable development agenda and you have perspectives from Africa's largest economy and many would say the most important country in Africa would you close out this session for us with your comments on anything you've heard and anything you would like to discuss thank you very much and hello everyone this is an exciting point in time in history and our colleague just talked about going back in history and I think we've come to a watershed moment where the United Nations at 70 created itself around the whole peace agenda never to go back to war in 1945 but what it has that's so much more important this year is that it wants to change the narrative for development that we want to talk about the lessons learned and how we deal with sustainable development in a real way that has the resources to accomplish that but that also really looks at climate change being a part of it and not as a separate conversation so it is I think an agenda that we've set we've spent the last two and a half years three years discussing how we're going to shape this and it is exciting it is a political agenda so for those that are looking for the science in it that will happen when we come to implementation but it's aspirational because it's a response to extremely complex challenges that we have today where we're dealing with migration we're dealing with youth cohort that we've never had before and a lack of jobs, exclusion, inequality that is increasing conflicts that we really don't even begin to understand as they emerge every day but we've also got this incredible opportunity for transformation and that's really what the sustainable development agenda speaks to now whether that will happen or not is if we try, will depend on if we try to change that narrative a narrative that says that this agenda is universal it's about every one of us in this room, outside of the room it's about leaving no one behind it's about investing not in a piece of us but in a reduction of poverty but of the whole not in just a social agenda but actually an economy that grows and makes a difference and has results in people's lives and tries to protect our planet and so it is very much a universal agenda we will hear different things that we've never heard before we have in the last two and a half years where we say universal and what Latin America has to say about development is different from what Africa has to say about it different perspective from Europe, from the islands, from Southeast Asia everyone has a different take on what their priorities are but ultimately it is about our human well-being it is about peace and it is about development and I think that that makes it even more exciting when we think about how do we do this in an integrated way how do we really make sure that we're not siloing the issues because they reflect what our individual interests are without really considering the collective for which we all know today this global village, this global family what one does will affect the other and I think that's the biggest wake-up call we've got to try to respond to that the maker break of this will be of course about how we implement it and I think that's a really important question that we're now grappling with because in the United Nations the die is cast with the number of goals that we have and they are basically the substance of what we think should be invested in going forward over 15 years 17 of them that cover the social agenda our economic and environmental agendas and when we think about how we're going to implement this we have to think from the lessons we've learned of the Millennium Development Goals that did succeed they succeeded so much so that we're talking about the next set of goals but they are unfinished business and this new agenda actually tries to help carry them through so we know we have a transition not that we wake up in January 2016 and start a new agenda but there is a transition for this one and that means I think we have to think very thoroughly about how we're going to be fit for purpose fit for purpose in the United Nations to help facilitate this discussion this implementation at the country level because ultimately it is countries that have to be in the driver's seat it's countries that have to determine that destination we've learned that the MDGs one of the failures was that it was too much of a prescription so this time 193 member states determining what happens to them at the country level is a difficult one so how does the United Nations themselves become more fit for purpose for this but how do governments do that how does civil society do that how does business do that the new people that we have coming into this how do parliamentarians address this how do you in this room academics everyone that has a role to play actually begin to respond to what we're asking for and at the scale at which we need to do it and that therefore brings me to the whole discussion around the importance of institutions and it is one different thing that has happened in the sustainable development agenda beyond everything else we've talked about lots of economic issues social issues and environmental issues separately never brought them together but what is the glue that will make this hang together will be that environment that needs to deliver it it will be about strong institutions the capacities that we need investing in the human capacity the assets that we have to do that and that really is starting from different bases in different places and many countries that have shown to succeed over time it has been because they've invested in institutions and it's a difficult thing to do so for us to find that we have a goal that focuses on institutions the rule of law and peace is an incredibly important part of how does this fit how do we translate this and what do we do to make it work it's not an attractive spend anyone that has been in government and anywhere near a minister of finance knows that the last thing you want to invest in is an institution because you've got four years to deliver the dividends of democracy and that's not an attractive I can touch and feel this and show it to my people so I get re-elected it's a long-term investment and I think this is where we will struggle to see how we can do that the fact it's on a global agenda means a lot to what happens at the local level that the importance of it for us to have for instance services that work we all know that from the last terrible tragedies of the Ebola crisis in West Africa that what we didn't do was to invest in systems in institutions in people so when that crisis came we were not able to respond and I think this was a very big lesson for us when we looked three years ago to see what we needed to do to accelerate on the MDGs we woke up to the shock that the majority of children coming out of school didn't have a quality education they could not read or write what have we done to that generation because you can't ask them coming out of a school they're not educated and they need to go back so in many cases the systems did not deliver on really what we thought would empower to allow us to move forward on the human development agenda and that I think is a big cause for us to think how do we deal with that and where are we going to get the resources to do this knowing that it is not the most attractive of investments one of the discussions we've had is that we are many developing countries put in a situation where a minister of finance will have a budget that they have to balance a budget that is really basically choiceless choices because you're asked to spend on health or education or water and sanitation or the big ticket items of infrastructure that are supposed to develop your country increase your domestic resource mobilization so that you can actually do the both but it's either or so now we do have to find the means of implementation to say both need to be done and when we look to the global partnership it is that yes we know that overseas development assistance for the sustainable development agenda is a critical political commitment but it's insufficient to do what we need to do if we have to deliver on this agenda and unlocking the resources that are available that do exist to come into this agenda is what we need how do we get resources to pay for big ticket items so we can grow our economies to take care of the services and the institutions that need to deliver on them and I think that this is going to be a litmus test for you know how can we do that how do we invest in our young people it's certainly not an option that I believe that we have I've got six children and so I know every day they are looking to how they can engage with helping grow our country Nigeria there's just new dawn we have a change in government we have to sit back, step back reflect about where we want to go take really the destiny of Nigeria in our hands and as my colleague from Haiti says you know this is not about being driven in a direction that other people think are right for you because they have determined a set of measures that put you in a certain place it is about a country reflecting on who they are and what they want to be and where they want to go and the wild things are urgent that they're not going to be in a hurry to fail so step by step they will make concrete moves towards that goal it is a time for us to reconcile there are many many issues in this world today that have put us in a position of conflict and I think that the reconciliation of those issues within countries across borders is something we need to discuss because so much so institutions are being built around symptoms rather than to deal with the root causes of what we have to build back and we will have to look at how we rebuild nations that don't have the necessary skill sets and so you know how does migration not become forced actually become one that is planned actually have one where the forced have a reason to remain behind and not to have to go across borders I think this is some of the challenges that we will have as we go ahead it is really for me about the implementation the will to put institutions back to work again it's not as though they were not working in many countries it is a neglect of it because there are other priorities in the way in which we adopted a development agenda September comes and we will gavel a new agenda and I'm very confident that the United Nations will be able to do that with the partners in the 193 countries that we have I think the concern still remains in the next few months whether we will have the appetite and the political leadership to get that ambition to match the complex challenges that we have today and a lot of that will have to do with the means of implementation with how we deal with coming together to say yes this is worth it there is the implications for not having it done don't bear thinking about nor can we visit that on the next generation and that we get behind it to do so thank you very very much to all of our panelists I sense that there are probably some pent up questions in the room we started late so we'll take say three questions the first hand I saw go up is the in the back and then over here I guess that was the hand that went up first yes sir and then the person there so the three of you in that order and then we'll put the questions to them I am Sharon Ten I work for the international partnership for microbicides we develop HIV prevention products for women there was a little bit of mention about women and I wanted to hear from all of you about the role of women in the sustainable development goals and in particular issues of gender equality in both the developed countries and the developing countries thank you the next question I believe was I believe your hand was up first I apologize sir I'm Bob Hershey I'm a consultant to what extent are you able to use the internet to get some transparency in this and try and get an economic consensus of what people want to do thank you and the third question was the woman in the black and white I'm Mayra Adi and I'm a professor of the progress in integral development in Catholic University and my question is for the lady in the UN about what is the UN doing in terms of sustaining peace just going beyond nice objectives of environment access to water and electricity when the globe is turning into when you see certain governments that are very violent and they're growing in Central America and some of them came through democratic elections like in Venezuela what is the United Nations going to do about sustaining peace when violence is increasing and there's not much time to think about education and other things Thank you I'll ask the members of the panel to respond as they would Ms. Mohamed do you want to start with the one addressed directly to you or let others comment? I can start I mean I think all three are really important questions and thank you for that I think the peace agenda as I said you know as the UN looks at itself at 70 and reflects on that it was set up to keep peace and to be about nations that lived with peace development and prosperity those are the three pillars that hold us up but we're challenged by that peace agenda we're challenged by the human rights agenda and as we have started to shape the sustainable development agenda one of those questions that we've been asking is that this is actually a response to it so it's not about what are we going to do keep the peace beyond the nice things we do actually if we had done more about investing in the nice things we would have so much more peace and that's what we haven't done we've done insufficient development to prevent the conflicts to prevent the exclusion to prevent the inequalities such that we now have many stages of conflict even in the time that we've shaped this agenda we've had more conflict and then when we've been lucky enough to have governments and people come together to make peace in some countries then we have not invested in the dividends of peace the day after has been insufficient development in rebuilding institutions in rebuilding communities in giving them what they need and this is about not about the United Nations not putting that forward it's about the political leadership of governments to make those investments that are needed in countries that are too weak and too fragile the partnerships of the global community where we have committed to do this we have failed to and I think that there's a serious reflection that needs to happen as a sustainable development agenda comes not to see it as something that is so aspirational and perhaps too big but without it we will not maintain peace and we will not address the issue of human rights I think with women they are absolutely central to this agenda not only are they a goal but they are cross cutting, inequality access to justice access to our own health to education much more especially that we really speak about women in decision making and leadership not just leadership, not just the numbers but in decision making and so I think that is something that is embedded in the SDGs and we hope that we will get that into a good set of indicators that help us measure it and then last but not least at least the United Nations using the internet to connect with young people social media, the My World surveys which you want and received over I think it's 8 million now responses to that has been quite incredible way of reaching out but I have to say that it's also helped in my country the fact that we have the internet and social media actually put transparency on the elections themselves that we were able to see second by second what was happening and even ahead of the government call some of those results even though we know the independent electoral commission will say so I think you know this has provided an incredible opportunity for transparency it's actually reduced corruption in elections where instead of becoming elections they have now become much more about elections Thank you I see that Jarvis Berkey has a comment to add please I just wanted to pick up this issue about gender equality and what's happening in that area what the states can do and so forth this issue is extremely important in the world of Islam at this point but I think it's useful not to look at Muslim countries as being the same set of countries across the globe you can divide the world of Islam into three parts there is the Arab countries plus some countries in Africa which have a very conservative outlook on the role of women in all aspects of life then you have the countries in the central part of the Islamic world there's the Turkey Pakistan, Bangladesh Afghanistan and so on where women's role is more liberally accepted and then you have the countries in the east Indonesia, Malaysia and so forth I know the situation in my own country Pakistan very well and it's really not realized outside Pakistan because Pakistan gets very bad press for a variety of reasons as to the very important roles that women have begun to play in that country I do some work in Singapore every year and I once asked a research assistant of mine who happens to be from Bangladesh to tap into the data assembled at Harvard University about education and South Asia and I was very surprised to see that Pakistani girls and Pakistani young women were doing better than Indian young women Indian girls and Bangladeshi young women and Bangladeshi girls and that was happening for two reasons one was the enormously important role the private sector has now begun to play in Pakistan the private sector educational system is run by women managed by women and in those schools women are in majority in most professional schools even engineering schools in Pakistan women are now about 55% to 45% for men I was looking the other day at the entrance of newcomers into the workforce Pakistan receives about a million people every year into the workforce of which about slightly more than half are women and they are better trained than men consequently they are moving into some very important sectors of the economy banking, education health, entertainment IT sector and so on this is a kind of thing that has happened on its own state didn't encourage it even the multilateral institutions didn't pay as much attention to this as possible this was a movement that was led by women some because of commercial reasons some because education is the only thing they see which is available to them in order to advance in the society so I think it is important when you think about gender equality to look at different situations and different parts of the world because dynamics work in different ways thank you very much if any of the other panelists we have only about a minute and a half left so we won't be able to take any more questions but if any other panelists want to comment on the questions already asked I think the issue on gender is a critical one in the Haitian situation the Haitian context because we have 52% of the population which are women most of the investment done in the education of the Haitian population has been made by women it happened that the inequality is very high also so it's a serious challenge to include now and by many innovative ways the women so that they can take the proper leadership in running also the country it's a big fight and I think in that way the global partners have to support mainly in helping Haiti to fund the basic conditions to empower the women in education it's a critical one training in most of the professional fields it's another one in getting them credit to run their business because most of them has the responsibility of the family so they will need to be empowered in that way to be able to continue to make the change in the society the salary the inequality in terms of salary is also a major issue between women and men I think the society need to change so that we can match that requirement I think it should be put on top of the agenda that has to happen another thing that come to my mind is that very often we have we have to choose and when it come to choose the society call on the women and we remember all the good things that the women bring and when times come to share very often they forget the women so I think in the whole transformational change that need to take place in my country we need to not forget that time that take into account the women in the world thank you I know Amina Muhammad wanted a 30 second comment to close and that sounds like an excellent way to close so please I don't usually talk about religion but as a Muslim woman what I would say when it comes to gender equality that in the Muslim world it is actually our men in Islam that are the challenge and not Islam the religion itself when the prophet was asked who was the most important he said your mother your mother and then your father and I think we need to underscore that because it is not the religion that prevents us going to school even when we go to school we can still remain in the home if the man says so so it is the man in Islam that is the major challenge done


Hello everybody! In this video, I'm going to tell you about backup options in Windows operating system. They include file history, system backup and restore, system image and recovery disk, as well as one drive cloud storage and how you can use it for data backup. Hello friends! If you need to recover deleted data, view or restore removed browser history. Hetman software products will help you. Follow the link in the description, download the necessary program for free, install it and analyze the disk. The utility will show you the data you can recover, so you will be able to view it or get it back. In our channel and blog, you will find solutions to any problem, from installing an operating system or configuring it to fixing possible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos or articles. Windows 10, 8 and 7 have a number of various backup tools to help you in the future to recover your operating system or prevent loss of data. One of the backup options is file history. It is quite limited because it backs up only files from the user account folders. If you need to recover files from other folders, you'll have to add them to the default list of this function. After you've done that, Windows will be able to create backup copies of such files automatically. This function can be used to recover all files lost any time, to recover a certain file or roll back a file to an old version. You can watch one of our videos to learn more about file history. Find the link in the description as usual. Windows 10 has been given the old function backup and restore, Windows 7, which was removed from Windows 8.1, but now it's back. It's also known as Windows backup. This tool can help you recover any Windows 7 backup on your Windows 10. Though, you can also use it for recovery of a Windows 10 computer. Unlike file history, Windows backup is a lot easier to create a backup copy of almost everything you have on your hard disk. You can find this tool if you go to Settings, Updating Security, Backup, go to Backup and Restore, Windows 7, Setup Backup, then select the disk, let me choose, and in addition to data and user libraries, select the system disk. But in that case, you'll need more free space in the disk where such backup will be created. Another function here is Create System Image. This function lets you create a complete image of your current system, including the operating system, installed programs, settings and user files. Such backup can be saved to an external hard disk, several DVDs, or a network storage. If you ever need to restore your computer, you'll be able to do it with the previously saved backup. You can watch a detailed guide on creating a system image in one of our videos, find the link in the description. You can also create a system image with a built-in utility, dism.exe. There is a special video guide about it. In the same menu, you can create a recovery DVD to fix problems with booting the operating system by just inserting a disk and clicking Create Disk to start the process. To create a USB recovery drive, open Control Panel, Recovery, create a recovery drive. Allow to make changes, next, create. All data in this drive will be lost. Such drive is a kind of a copy of the system bootloader, so you won't need to reinstall the operating system and you won't lose your data. To access this tool directly, open the Start menu, type recoverydrive.exe and press Enter. Windows 10 no longer has a separate recovery partition, so this tool lets you create one on a removable drive. There is a special video about creating a recovery partition and the link is below this video. One more backup tool is OneDrive. It can hardly be called a true recovery utility, but at the moment it is fully integrated with Windows and it can help you with backing up important data to a cloud storage. Files saved to OneDrive folder on your computer will also be saved to your OneDrive account and you'll be able to use these files from any other device. Even if you reinstall Windows or use Windows from another device, all you have to do is to sign in to your Microsoft account and all data saved to this folder will be available for you. Free data in a cloud storage is convenient for at least two reasons. In the first place, such storage has tools to ensure safety of user data, so there are very little chances to lose data because of a hard disk failure or other problems. The second advantage of a cloud storage is that you can share your files very easily, just using mail or a messenger to send a link to the file kept in the storage resource. OneDrive is very easy to work with. Its folder is shown in the File Explorer, just go there and open it. However, using this service requires a Microsoft account. When you open OneDrive folder for the first time, you'll have to sign in. Then the wizard starts to help you set up storage folders in this computer. Folder location can be modified, for example, by moving it to another disk by clicking on Change Location and specifying the new path. Then you have to select the folders which will be placed automatically to OneDrive so that they can be synced with the cloud storage. The working principle is that the files placed into this folder are kept in this computer, but they are also synced with the cloud storage. It means that every time you add a file to OneDrive folder, its copy is uploaded to the cloud storage. You can work with the file in this folder, and it will be synced with the storage all the time. All data added to OneDrive will be available on other computers and devices. All you have to do is to sign in your Microsoft account. If you delete a file folder that you have already added to OneDrive, it will remove this data from the cloud storage and your other devices. To share the uploaded files with other users, just right-click on the file and select Share OneDrive link. Then you should paste the link into an email or a message sent through a social network. To change the options, right-click on the icon and select Settings. You can program the service from starting automatically when Windows starts if you don't use the service too often. The files on demand lets you access all files on your PC remotely when working from an other computer. When in your account, click on PCs and a new tab will open. When you choose your computer, you will see a notice saying, to connect to this PC, we need you to enter a security code. Click Sign in with a security code and an email with a code will be sent to your mailbox. After entering the code, you will get access to the files in your computer where you can download or view them. In the tab account, you can add another account, select folders for synchronization and configure it in the tab Autosave. The most important thing to be mentioned is that OneDrive cloud service offers only five gigabytes of free space for your data, so you can only dream of putting there a system image or a backup copy of your hard disk. Then you'll have to buy extra space at the prices you can find in the official website. However, you can also get bonus gigabytes that you earn from meeting certain conditions, for example, for inviting friends. You can download OneDrive app for Android, Windows and iOS, so you can get access to this service from mobile devices and always have all your files at hand. That is all for now.

Some of this is in our standard setting activity where the private sector attends and provides their expertise in the recommendations that get provided to the membership. It's the members who ultimately endorse all of our standards, but they don't really have a standard to endorse without the expertise of the rest of the private sector. Most of our members are airlines in the private sector. The other way that we do this is we have conferences and events where we get the wide views of absolutely everybody and that tends to shape priorities and strategies moving forwards as well as specific activities and action plans. So we work in a number of different ways with the private sector in order to capture as much information as we possibly can and produce the best output for everyone. What the UPU can learn from that is that it can be difficult to balance the fact that members in our case make the core decision, the ultimate decision, and yet the rest of the public sector or the rest of the industry actually provides all of their input, expertise and time. So there's a balance to be struck there in what's given back to them in terms of what value they actually get from their efforts involved in this.


Welcome back to Titini man garage, and it's another day and another transmission So I shot a video on adjusting the linkages on this Magnum It's probably about a week or so ago got everything running and shifting good And also in the reverse wouldn't work again So I heard something flopping around in the in the case so I decided to rip it off. I Didn't shoot a video on how to remove this because This one was a little more trickier you got the rear differential back there and you got your driveshaft going from the rear diff to the transmission and I wasn't sure how I was gonna get that out So what I ended up doing was I got everything loosened up Taking the transmission out itself was actually really easy but getting that Axle shaft out was a little bit of a trick So I didn't videotape that because it was kind of a learning experience for me so what I ended up having to do was Loosen the bolts off the back and I had to hang up the brake lever and there were some bolts back over here and I loosened up the bolt for the shock and I slid this back I was able to get the shaft out that way so once I got that pin taken out I took a air hammer and I popped it back Slipped off the shaft and there's one two three four five Six bolts holding the transmission in place. It's able to pop that up without removing the exhaust And once I got that pushed back out of the way She came right out. It was a piece of cake, but so it took a little thinking on my part I've always been one of those guys that You know you look at something you just kind of know how it goes together or comes apart And I know some of you viewers out there that are watching or like that too because I've spoken to some of you guys So I didn't tape that part because I figured you guys didn't want to hear me cussing and swearing or maybe you would I don't know. It'll probably be funny. So here's the transmission sitting on the bench Once again, this is new for me. So I'm gonna take this cover off and I'm thinking it's probably gonna be the same issue like the six by six. I think that that dog gear is either stripped out or Something in that shifter is Locking up so I'm gonna go ahead and take that apart Okay, we'll part pretty easy So here's all your your shift mechanism your shift forks Everything popped out with the case being outside And that actually goes in here. All right, so I got a couple things going on here Show you a quick. So like I said, this is a it's actually pretty interesting the way this is designed I've never taken one of these apart but this one's designed actually the opposite of Like a scrambler or or that six by six transmission everything is built Into this case so Springs are in here your shift forks here. It's kind of interesting. So I want to show you what I found. I'm just gonna Try to lay this up and get it to act like Transmission with that being in the case So right now I'm spinning it and I'm a neutral Gonna try to get a better shot from this side. I spun it around So that's your dog gear right here that moves back and forth When I shifted that forward that locks into this gear. That's your drive gear Now when I pull it this way This is reverse. Let me push this back You can see where this dog gear connects to this gear This is worn completely off. So when you throw it in reverse It was just stripping I can't turn that See that one next one's rounded off right here And same with that. There's there's three little tabs on that gear and when I shift this up into reverse these teeth Grab those teeth and it throws it in reverse. Well, that's all rounded off So that's why it didn't work. So the guy had a plow on here So I'm guessing training was certain to go and he just kept jamming it in a reverse until she finally round it off I was able to get it adjusted where it would work at low idle and get it to shift But once it warmed up and I started driving it and try to throw it in reverse when it was warmed up She wouldn't go so let me show you what I mean if I see how that's Meshing with those teeth and this is probably here That's Rowning off and it was just grinding see so I hope that gives you a little overview of Transmission how the dog gear works. This is your low gear and When you pop that in and you got this in drill Then I push this in and now I'm a low gear So that works good, but you can see that's all rounded off There's two things that could do try to take a press and pull this all apart or If you're like me and you got connections, I actually have a spare tranny laying around from I think it was a 335 They're pretty identical So I'm gonna strip that one apart. I'm gonna take that gear out or this whole The sole cluster out and I'm gonna replace it. I also found something else wrong. All right So this is the basically the drive gear What's that down there? Hang on a minute. I see a broken part down there. I was gonna show you the chain was sloppy What the heck? I'm thinking that clip is supposed to be holding something in place So when I spin this you see how that chain is kind of sloppy in here. That's way too sloppy But ready to jump off so this clip but Must hold something on I'm gonna have to find that out So what I like to do is I like to look at exploded views on Partzilla.com I probably shouldn't drop names, but if it helps you guys out helps me out I'm not getting any kickbacks for name dropping but So, yeah, I'm gonna have to check that out and when I tear the other retransmission apart I'm gonna see how that looks and Hopefully build a good transmission So this one's beautiful. This is the Magnum 325 case Actually transmission and the inside of this is beautiful everything spins nice And that's if I can think spins nice and free the teeth on here are Let me get my thumb out of the way Teeth on here in a really good shape But he thought there was something wrong with this one. This thing actually is really clean I'm not sure what the issue with this one was. He said it wasn't shifting, right? Yeah, it actually looks really good But the gear ratio is different from the 325 to the 500 so I don't really want to use that transmission So I'm gonna try to piece together the other one and I got myself a Excellent set of gears right here. This should all shift nice like it should See if I can get it to work. There you go. That's yeah Perfect. So if I wanted to make this easier, I could probably just take this case out Throw it in the transmission and call it a day Not sure if I'm gonna do that yet. I still got to find out what's going on with that chain and The chain slop and I'll put this bad boy back together All right, I'm back. So after doing some research the 325 transmission I took apart for parts has a taller gear on the output shaft the gear on the output shaft on 500 transmission was a smaller gear So the theory is taller gear More speed right so what I did was I robbed that big gear and I put it on here I'm gonna take all the guts for the 325 That way I don't have to separate all this stuff because it it does look like a pain in the butt So I'm gonna use all the shift mechanism Put that back in the 500 engine with the taller gear and this gear is actually a little smaller compared to the 500 So that's my theory. Okay, so what I like to do first is Take a wire wheel get everything cleaned up really nice the surfaces I like to use lacquer thinner and That actually takes the gasket Off pretty good. I clean everything up with that And then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put a couple drops of oil in here and here So when I put this together It should slide in real nice a trick's gonna be to try to get these shift lovers Hooked up with the shift fork So that's gonna be my chair. Here we go. Put it back together. It's like you're completely off the pan I'm gonna try to have your shift forks all in place So this will go in here and it'll The spring goes back and forth and clips into the His little notches in there All right, so you want to be a neutral when you go to install this So dog gears in the center The one up top is not engaging in here We are now a new job when I go to install this There is a little nubby right here and a little nubby right here when I slide this in these have to line up with those little nubbies and That controls your shifter and that's your shift linkages I gotta get that pushed down and line it up with the gear at the same time And This is just for video purposes. So normally I'd have this case side all cleaned up and I'd have sealer on here I already rebuilt the one transmission and somehow my Video got deleted. So I'm rebuilding the other one. Just kind of Mock it up and show you guys how it's done. It's basically This gear down here line up with this gear here and I'm gonna try to get those Fill that one That one sounds like she went in. I wish I could show you guys how I lined that up but basically There's the nubby went in one And then the other one And then she dropped down now. It's not all the way down. So I'm gonna have to Turn the shift forks at the same time to get it in the hole and then that should pop down All right, first things first.   I think that's a german word And now to adjust the rear axle shaft So You got a couple things going on the shaft has to slide back and that hole lines up And another thing is um, I've heard people that uh, once they pull that pin out They have a hard time putting it back in Well, I've done a little shrek. Uh, I grind the edges off Grind the ends off because they usually get mushroomed over And uh So that way it'll slide in there real nice And what I do Is I take an air hammer like this that way you're not killing yourself trying to move this in and out So right now it's tight. It's not gonna move in us.   Well, it only goes back so far And I barely cleared the front diff to try to get it out. So I'm gonna try to shoot this so you guys can see how I do this And I said, I don't know if I'm gonna get a good shot You know another little trick I like to do is I'll put grease on the shafts clean these up really good throw some grease on there Cleaner you can get these splines easier.  This is where that air hammer would come in handy right now That easy that slid in I gotta get the other side lined up I gotta line the holes up make sure you're not a tooth off. You can see that I got my hole lined up I'm gonna do the same thing with a dull pin one installed front drive I just got to hook up hook up my shift linkages I got everything all buttoned up in the back And just in case you didn't see earlier these were the two bolts I was talking about And uh Yeah, I'll get my linkages hooked up get everything lined up and I'll show you how this bad boy fires up Transmission all installed Runs beautifully Yeah, it's got to get the wiring for the winch working This bad boy should be good to go Thanks for watching and like always till next time

In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting facts and myths about the American Shorthair cat. The American Shorthair is a popular feline breed, and for good reason. These kitties are not only playful, yet calm, but they are also great for big families with children. This particular breed is the perfect cross between an independent feline and a needy one. If you've always wanted a social and affectionate kitty that also requires some alone time for itself, then the American Shorthair is the perfect match for you. It requires special nutrition, proper health care, and frequent playtime sessions. American Shorthairs are known as working cats due to the fact that they were once bred for the purpose of catching rodents. They have strong, robust bodies, but contrary to what their muscular build suggests, they aren't aggressive. Here are some of the interesting facts about the American Shorthair cat, which will give you some further insight into its characteristics and temperament. 1. American Shorthairs history. They aren't listed on the manifest, but cats were undoubtedly among the passengers and crew that disembarked from the Mayflower when it arrived at Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. Their ratting abilities made cats valued members of ship's crews, and they may well have made their way to the new world even earlier. On ships that carried settlers to the Jamestown Colony in Virginia, Spanish explorers to Florida, and Vikings to Newfoundland. Some of the descendants of those seafaring cats, known prosaically as Shorthairs, or domestic Shorthairs, became what we know today as American Shorthairs. Cats were valued on land as well as at sea. Farmers, shopkeepers, and householders all needed a good cat to protect their stores of food from mice, rats, and other vermin. The Shorthairs were solid, hardy working stock, well suited to the tough conditions that prevailed on the untamed continent. Such good hunters were they that a publication from 1634 credits them with saving a New England colony's crops from squirrels and chipmunks. By 1895, Shorthairs had made enough of a mark that they were exhibited at the first cat show in the United States. The Cat Fanciers Association recognized them as a breed in 1906. To differentiate them from random bred cats, also known as domestic Shorthairs, the pedigreed felines were given the name American Shorthair in 1966. The cats are recognized by all registries. American Shorthair is a muscular cat with short ears and a round face. It is known to have more than 80 patterns and colors but Silver Tabby is known to be the most common and popular one. Their fur coat is dense and thinks that protects them during harsh weather. His build gives him the agility and endurance he needs as a first-rate stalker, and his heavily muscled legs make him capable of pouncing, jumping, and climbing to get his furred or feathered prey. This is a medium-sized to large cat, slightly longer than he is tall.  He has medium-sized ears that are slightly rounded at the tips and large, wide eyes. The adaptable and good-natured American Shorthair retains his hunting ability, but these days he is more likely to be a family companion, a job at which he excels. He has a middle-of-the-road temperament, being calm but not comatose. The American Shorthair is moderately active and enjoys a good playtime as much as the next cat, but he's not overly demanding of attention or activity.  He has a sociable nature and isn't the type to hide under the bed when visitors arrive. This is a placid cat but one that doesn't especially like being carried around. Let him stand on his own four feet. He may or may not be a lap cat, but he will always appreciate having a spot next to you on the sofa or at the end of the bed. 4. They're gentle and laid back. The American Shorthair kitties temper is part of what makes these cats so desired all over the world. Aggression and destructive behavior are foreign to this particular breed. These cats aren't fascinated with climbing on top of the curtains or exploring high countertops. They remain gentle even during playtime. Though accidents do happen, of course, a pee stain on the carpet or a broken vase are the last things you should expect from an American Shorthair. Unlike other demanding breeds, American Shorthairs can be left home alone for a short period of time.  If you think you can't leave your particular cat home alone, you can opt for an interactive pet camera. You can monitor the kitty from afar, feed it treats, and even play recordings of your voice.

American Shorthairs health concerns. Both pedigreed cats and mixed breed cats are varying incidences of health problems that may be genetic in nature. American Shorthairs are generally healthy, but be sure to ask a breeder about the incidents of health problems in her lines and what testing has been done for any that are genetic in nature. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a type of heart disease, has been seen in the breed, but it is not yet known to be genetic. 6. Tendency towards obesity. Even though American Shorthairs are muscular and aren't lazy, they are more prone to becoming obese than most cat breeds. So it's important to monitor your kitty's weight and make sure it has a well-balanced diet consisting primarily of dried cat food. This feline breed requires exercise on a daily basis. Interactive cat trees, ball toys, laser-chasing games, and so forth offer great ways to exercise. Another idea is to teach your American Shorthair how to walk on a leash. And yes, walking your cat on a leash is indeed possible. You just need a proper leash and harness, and a lot of patience. 7. Taking care of American Shorthairs. The American Shorthairs coat is easily cared for by combing or brushing it a couple of times a week to remove dead hair and distribute skin oils. The thickness of the cat's coat and the amount it sheds vary based on climate and time of year. Brush the teeth to prevent periodontal disease. Daily dental hygiene is best, but weekly brushing is better than nothing. Trim the nails every couple of weeks. Wipe the corners of the eyes with a soft, damp cloth to remove any discharge. Use a separate area of the cloth for each eye so you don't run the risk of spreading any infection. Check the ears weekly. If they look dirty, wipe them out with a cotton ball or soft, damp cloth moistened with a 50-50 mixture of cider vinegar and warm water. Avoid using cotton swabs, which can damage the interior of the ear. American Shorthairs like their meals, so they can easily become overweight. To prevent obesity, measure their food instead of free feeding them. Keep the litter box spotlessly clean. Cats are very particular about bathroom hygiene, and a dirty box may cause them to start using other places in the house instead. It's a good idea to keep an American Shorthair as an indoor only cat to protect him from diseases spread by other cats, attacks by dogs or coyotes, and the other dangers that face cats who go outdoors, such as being hit by a car. Keeping him indoors also protects local birds and wildlife from this talented hunter. American Shorthairs who go outdoors also run the risk of being stolen by someone who would like to have such a beautiful cat without paying for it. 8. American Shorthairs to Children and Other Pets. The laid-back but playful American Shorthair is a perfect choice for families with children and cat-friendly dogs. He can learn tricks and loves the attention he receives from children who treat him politely and with respect. He will get along fine with dogs if they don't give him any trouble. He is a skilled hunter, but he may learn to leaf pet birds or other small animals alone if he is introduced to them at an early age. When in doubt, however, separation is best. Always introduce any pets, even other cats slowly and in a controlled setting. If you enjoyed this video, kindly press the like button.

Hey everyone, welcome to today's day trading recap for Wednesday, May 5th. Happy Cinco de Mayo. Great day profit-wise for me today, plus 3,517 after getting chopped up early, came back with a vengeance and booked one of my better day trading P&Ls in quite some time. So let's go over these and I'll show you what happened to start with. We had one mighty 90 in Roku. This was my biggest winner, plus 2,525. Now, this started out as a mighty 90. I ended up managing part of the position as a runner. So, you know, however you want to classify that, it's fine, but I'm just I'm putting in the mighty 90 because that's how that's how I entered it. If I entered it as a mighty 90, it goes in the mighty 90 category. And then on the pairs trade, did two pairs trades in Dow versus Nasdaq got in was it was only in this one for about 10 minutes, booked 725 a little while later, got in again and booked a little over almost 1,100. So, plus 1820 on the pairs today.  I just had a level of confidence here. And so I went up to the bigger contracts. I'll show you and I'll show you what I was looking at there when we get to the platform. And then on the runners, I did actually, this is two winners. I originally had Roku and my runners.  So let's go over these. And I will show you what happened. Let's start with the mighty 90 in Roku. Well, actually, before I do that, let me just let me start with kind of my mindset going into today. So yesterday in the Nasdaq specifically, there's a huge sell off, right? There's down almost 3% at one point bounce back a little bit. And then overnight continue to bounce a little bit higher. So the market opened up the Nasdaq opened higher. And and so I was really looking for so my kind of my thesis and I talked about this in the in the trading live stream room where my thought was, I think we're going to probably bounce get a little bit more of a continuation bounce. And then this thing's going to fall apart. And that that actually did happen. Unfortunately, I did not take advantage of any of that. And and I'll show you I'll show you why. So let's go over the trades and I'll kind of touch on that as we go. I just wanted to kind of give you that initial details before we jump in. So the first the first trade the mighty 90 was in Roku. And what I was looking at here is had this initial flush down and this bounce got some higher volume on this bounce. So we got short right here. And on this flush, I got out of a bunch here. And then and so that's kind of your typical mighty 90. And here's how I manage the rest as runners. I basically just held on. I was looking for continued weakness, specifically in Nasdaq tech types, tech type stocks. And in Roku felt really heavy. It felt like, you know, it's going to stay weak. And that's certainly what happened. So I literally held held some all the way down to I got rid of my last piece like right down here. So just a fantastic trade there in Roku. Also today's Wednesday. So kind of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are typically my best P&L days. And so you know, I picked some spots to go a little bit heavier on size and Roku Roku was one of those. So that worked out really well for plus 2005 25 on the Paris trades. Let's go to the Paris trades. I want to talk about those a little bit and kind of what my what my thought was. So we had this initial weakness in the Nasdaq specifically. And then and then we started to bounce. And I was looking for another flush lower. Now we never got that. Originally, it just kind of kept pushing, pushing, pushing. And then and then the Nasdaq started getting really heavy. It was it was trying to push, trying to push and not really getting anywhere. Whereas the Dow and the S&P were just boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, just continue to hit new highs. In fact, the Dow hit a new all time high today. And so I was I was still looking at the Nasdaq is potentially getting weak. And it was acting from the price action acting really heavy. I didn't want to just get short Nasdaq futures. But so that's where I got in on the pair that my first pair of trade where I went short the Nasdaq, but I hedged it with a long Dow. And you can see the Dow is continuing to hit new all time highs as I'm recording this at about 130 p.m. central. And so my first so you can see kind of what the Dow was doing. I was really focused on the Nasdaq. And so I got on my first pair of trade when the Nasdaq bounced here after this after this flush. That's where I really wanted to kind of get short. But instead of just getting short Nasdaq, I hedged it went long Dow short Nasdaq. And on this flush just in this 10 minute flush right here, 10 or 15 minutes, caught that $725 winner in that pairs trade. And then this thing kind of started chopping up again. And I got short again about or I did another pairs trade short Nasdaq versus long Dow here took a little bit of heat against it. And then this thing just flushed again. And I got out again for another 1100 bucks, 1095 to be exact. So excuse me. So that was my thought process. And the way I was managing those those two pairs trades. And then on to the runners. So Amazon, my biggest runner winner. So at that same time, you know, I was continuing to watch the different stocks and how they were relating to the price action in the indices. Like I said, S&P and Dow were just pumping higher highs, higher highs. And Nasdaq was starting to get heavy. So I was looking for tech related stocks, Nasdaq type stocks, Amazon fit the bill. It was just kind of chopping around at break even not really going anywhere. And so when it bounced up, when it when it pushed into negative territory and then bounced up here, that's where I got short and erode this thing. Got my out of most of it there. And I think on this bounce, I took another leg down and got out of the rest there. So nice trade in Amazon for 2165 did four contracts there. So that worked out well. Boeing, Boeing chopped me up early in the day. And what happened here, I was looking at this as a volume runner had some big volume in here. And so on this on this bounce, I got short looking for a continuation lower. Well, you can see that happened. Unfortunately, it flushed me out. My criteria is if it breaks above the high volume bar, which was this one at the time. And you can see it just barely did that. And that's when I just cut out took a took a small loss there. And then and then so I missed that entire flush. And I can't remember. I think I was trying to get filled on a reversal here, and just never got filled and it just took off without me. So I completely missed that. Then it started chopping around down here below this pivot. So I thought, okay, I think we're probably assuming this market does get weak. We're going to see another flush lower. Well, that didn't happen. Boeing pushed up. And so I just cut out and took another loss there. So got chopped up back to back in Boeing. Microsoft Microsoft was another runner here where I was looking at so we had that again, that initial weakness started chopping around here. I was looking for another flush lower, never happened bounced up and I just cut out for a loss in Microsoft. And actually, I think I may have held through all this, I think it wouldn't bounce this time is where I cut out. And then Netflix had a winner in Netflix for plus 600 Netflix, same kind of time that I got in Amazon just is staying weak chopping around unchanged up and down up and down. So when it bounced up to the unchanged here, that's where I got short took a little bit of heat, and then it flushed down, got out of some bounced flushed again, got out of some chopped around and I got out of my last piece right down here after after that last flush. So nice trade in Netflix for 600 didn't didn't take a big size in that one, but still a really nice trade. And then Tesla Tesla Tesla had my number today. Tesla got me for 2211. And in Tesla again, you know, going back to my thought about, okay, we're going to see some initial strength and then some weakness that did happen. Unfortunately, kind of like Boeing Tesla flushed me out before it made that move. So my first, my first entry was I had that initial weakness on this bounce got short, looking for a flush lower. Unfortunately, it pushed up too much, got me out, I cut out. So I took a small loss there, I got out pretty quick. So it was pretty small. And then as it broke through, I was looking for a continuation higher. So when it pulled back here, I got long after this big volume spike, looking for a continuation higher, like, okay, Tesla is going to be strong today. It has the tendency to do that sometimes. And, and this thing just flushed out. And so I took a loss there. And then I, I almost got a bunch of it back later in the day here. Actually, I think, actually, I think I took, oh yeah, I took another trade here. So when it did make that flush and bounced, I got short here, came down, I booked, booked some profits, took some of the trade off. And then I was waiting for some more profit, some more downside, and then it just ripped higher. So got out of that one with I think, either a minimal loss, or I may have booked a little bit on that one. And then the last leg, I traded Tesla a lot today, started getting weak again, when it bounced up to unchanged, I got short here, caught a really nice move. I was up about 1500 bucks on that piece right there. I got out of half of it, I was looking for a little bit closer to the lows to get out of some more, never got there. And then just ripped up. So I only, I only booked a couple hundred bucks on that leg where I was up about 1500. So ended up minus 2211 net net on all my Tesla trades. But still very nice day today plus 3517. Hope everybody else had a good day. Remember, we will be streaming live tomorrow on Thursday, but offline on Friday. So look forward to seeing you then. Take care.
