I love this period of time it's a it is a it is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful holiday. And many people look at me kind of weird and say, wait a minute, you're on. I thought you're kind of an atheist and originally Jewish by background, what's what's the deal with Christmas? Well, I mean, I think the beauty of Christmas and why Christmas is such a universally loved holiday is because of how secular of a holiday it is. I mean, this is the most secular holiday I can think of. I mean, what do you do during Christmas?   And you it's great. I mean, think of all the of all the pleasure that produces you exchange gift.  You you create this wonderful lit up environment. And when you go outside, the trees have lights on them and the malls fill the pretty pretty things that the displays in the windows are wonderful. And the lights are wonderful. I mean, New York City during this time of year, particularly if it snowed a little bit, is just so beautiful and so pretty. And and what what are all the lights and the and the, you know, the malls and the shops and the presence and all this, what does that all represent? What does that all symbolize? Nothing particularly religious. It all symbolizes kind of an embrace of life, of enjoying life, of celebrating life, of celebrating friendship and family and, you know, celebrating our achievements and the fact that we we can buy presents and hang out with the people we love and enjoy and respect and so on. So what a wonderful, wonderful time of life at time of the year. It's it's and it's exactly a wonderful, wonderful time of the year because of how secular it is, because of the fact that it is all about or almost all about, right, enjoying life. It's about enjoying life. That's the essence of what Christmas is about.  It's terrible. Yeah, that's part of what makes it so wonderful. It's that it's so commercial because what is that? What is what is the commercial aspect of Christmas about? It's about going out and buying stuff. Well, we enjoy doing that when we're buying gifts for people we like, or we enjoy that when we're buying ourselves gifts. Why? Because it's a celebration of what I in Rand call the trade of principle. The wonderful aspect of life, which is trade, giving something and getting something in return, giving something of ultimately less value to you and getting something of greater value to you. That trade, that buying and selling, those are wonderful things in life. They demonize. They will get to why that is in a minute. But just think of the fun. Christmas is fun. It's not about. And it's not celebrated in a way that suggests that it's really the season of giving or the season of sacrifice or the season of altruism. No, there's nothing altruistic about giving gifts to people you love. Now, now, if you decided one year not to give gifts to your kids, but to send all the gifts to Africa, that would be different. But how happy would you be about that? How happy would your kids be about that? Would it still be the joy, the season of joy? Would it still be the season of goodwill towards man? Really? Is the goodwill comes at a cost of somebody else's sacrifice? Somebody else's misgivings? Hard times, your kids, for example, who didn't get gifts because you sent them all to Africa. There was a really good article published. Well, it's been a few years now, I guess, by Peter Schwartz. You can look him up. Peter Schwartz and it's called objecting to the season of giving. I don't think that's a title he chose. I think this was published in the Washington Post. You can. And Peter Schwartz is also the author of In Defense of Selfishness. So an excellent book that I strongly recommend.  That's what Christmas is about. It's about a celebration of your life and of the life of the people that provide you with the most value. People think of love, unfortunately, in the world in which we live. People think of love in terms of sacrifice, in terms of selflessness. Really? Do you love somebody out of a sense of selflessness? Is it a sacrifice to love your wife or to love your girlfriend or to love your spouse? Is it a sacrifice? Or do you love them because of how they make you feel about yourself? Do you love them because of the fact that they represent the values that you care most about? Do you love them because love is fundamentally a selfish emotion? It's about you. It's about your responsibilities. I think I've used this example before. I think I in Rand, this is an example, I in Rand once used. Imagine going up to you soon to be spouse on your wedding the night before your wedding and saying, look, this is selfless completely. It's completely selfless. I don't really care about what you do to me.   You do nothing to me.  But since I don't care about my own values, I'm marrying you. I mean, the other person would slap you. What is love really about?  You project back to me all the things that I love about life and about the world. You represent the values that I cherish the most. All of that's selfish. All of that is about me. Love is the most selfish of all emotions. Now selfish, not in the sense of exploiting other people, not in the sense of being mean, nasty, brutish. No, none of that is selfish.  I'm talking about a rational selfishness, about thinking, about really pursuing your rational values, the values that you care most about, that you understand, that you have chosen, and pursuing them, and dedicating your life to the pursuit of them, so that you live the best life that you can live. That's what selfishness really means. It means making your life the best life that it can possibly be. And that's not about money. It's not about stuff. We'll put it this way. It's not only about money. It's not only about stuff. It's about the kind of life you live. It's kind of the kind of values you pursue. So I love Christmas because it's about the pursuit of rational good values. It's about the pursuit of friendship, the pursuit of family, the family you love. Don't go hang out with family you don't love. It's about the pursuit of presence and the sharing of gifts with people you love and respect and admire. Now, I know that much of what the conventional view of Christmas is about charity, it's about sending that money to Africa, it's about sacrifice. That's the story we are told. That's how it's presented to us. But, well, I'm going to take a break here. I'm going to take a short break. And then when I come back, I want to talk about charity and whether it is really the fundamental here, whether really when we think about Christmas, what we're really thinking about is charity and sacrifice. All right, you're listening to your own book show. The only place you're going to hear this kind of stuff on Christmas.


Mehnwaal, Nigerian singer Charles Chikwe Meka Oputa, popularly known as Charlie Boy, has lambasted the Kaduna State Govna Nasi Urufai over his recent tweet, supposedly mocking the supporters of Labour Party's presidential candidate, Pita Obi. The Kaduna State Govna had in a tweet made fun of the proposed two million march rally in Kaduna by his supporters. Erufai's tweet has generated backlashes from tweets and other social media users who have lambasted the Govna over his prediction and statements. We are now being joined via Zoom by two public affairs analysts, Barrister Justice Uhuebu, I hope I got the pronunciation of that name, Barrister Justice Uhuebu and Adeyemi Saka. We are to discuss the banter between political parties, political candidates for various political positions. I welcome you gentlemen into the studio tonight. Okay, good. So let me start with Barrister Justice Uhuebu, if you can hear me clearly. There's been banter of words between political candidates already generating heat in the nation and we already know that the insecurity in the nation is also generating a lot of heat in the nation. There's so much campaign of calamity. One would think that at this time and the period that the nation is going through that political candidates would be skoshes with the use of their words. Well, you said it or you've laid the background for it. Well, this is a campaign season and I want to tell everybody that every issue, every matter comes. We can't do it, can't do that. Some say they are not important and we say others are important. One important thing, one rule of engagement that must be abide by all political actors in Asia, supporters, excapacities or the candidates themselves is to trust what you're supposed to do to guide against making a flammatory or insightful statement that could suit the nation over. Because as we're speaking like you rightly acknowledged and said we are the precipice and then you need to push or shove you need to put it down to the other side. I haven't said that but every issue is a campaign issue. We make this a political party, it's a campaign issue it's a topic for the opponents or other parties to come up with and accuse them of if they can put their party or their house in order are you sure you're going to put the country in order? So every issue matters and you cannot. But we can have a handbook to tell Nigerians or to tell politicians or to tell political actors or candidates that these are no-go area these are the do's and don'ts. We all have topics that we consider passionate to us. To some people it's the composition of tickets, to some people it's the educational background, to some people it's the status of health of candidates. To some people it's my every balancing of a rotational presidency. Those are the foundational things we discussed before we now go to the second stage. My own opinion is security, economy, health, infrastructure, dissolvency or the looming bankruptcy of the country. Those are things we know, those are issues that will take form. We cannot as a nation, we cannot as an electorate or media practitioners or analysts or even people social and remixing society decide for Nigerians what they should consider topics or topical issues to discuss. Okay let me go back to Barista Justice. Barista can you hear me now? Barista Justice can you hear me now? Okay we continue with you. Can you hear me? I can hear you clearly Barista. So we're talking about the campaign of Kalomni going on between political politicians, they are supporters and you know already generating a lot of heat and one would think like I said to Mr. Saka one would think that at this point where the nation is as a consent in security matters that politicians would be much more cautious with their words instead of heating up the policy. What's your take on this? Well I think it's a normal thing, this is politics and one way or the other the campaign somehow has started in as much as the campaign will start officially I think from next month but somehow it has started because candidates has already started visitations from state to state for one name or the other given to it. So you know when you want to rest in power power is not given, power is taken and that is exactly what you're seeing. So I'm not surprised, it's a normal thing all over the world, it's not a peculiar to Nigeria or whatever but like as you rightly said we are facing a very huge problem of insecurity at this point in time. So one should be very very careful the way you conduct yourself, the way you go about your supporters and all the rest. But I'll tell you for the truth that this issue of insecurity is meant to be a major front line not a campaignering exercise that we're going to see. It's not like what happened in 2015 when this administration came into being. One of the major things they talked about is you know crapping down on insecurity which at the end of the day we never saw it happen rather the state we are today it has multiplied more than 100 times. So that is exactly what we're going to see because in fact that is the only thing Nigerians are talking about now insecurity. Unfortunately nobody is talking about every other aspects of problem facing Nigeria. Now as we go everybody has to be very very careful as we go into the elections of course electorate will be expecting that what politicians should be talking about now should be the agenda for the nation. Nigerians want to see that there is another government in place that would be able to deliver the dividends of democracy. But what we get to hear is the campaign of Calomny the social media is already heated up by supporters of all of these candidates. So what then should voters be looking forward to? I think we are all Nigerians and what is happening in Nigeria so far one doesn't need to ask what will the voters be looking for because ordinarily me as a Nigerian you over there and whatever we all know the problem we are facing today in Nigeria today. Then if you want me to mention them just very few we are facing a problem of high level of insecurity today we are facing a problem of economic total in fact the economy is dead we are facing another problem which problem of hunger in the society Nigeria has never been this bad before we are facing a problem of unemployment we are facing a problem of you know total collapse of the educational system we are facing a problem of I mean I mean in fact I don't think I don't think of the truth that there is any sector that is working in Nigeria as it is today so Nigeria is putting a lot Nigerians are putting a lot Mr. Saka, can you comment on that? Thank you Mr. Uwebu Mr. Saka, can you comment on that? Voters are looking forward to better days in the nation with all of these banters coming in what then is the voter taking out to say this would be the particular candidates I want to go and stay for hours to vote for well you say I want to be very careful how to how to want to sound you know better informed better grip of our emotions when it comes to national issues and what to have we like I said earlier every issue is a fund runner issue I will tell you we can talk about insecurity that is we can talk about economics collapse that is true we can talk about monumental what if I can create a one iconic corruption in this administration that I don't think any government since 1960 can draw for whatever draw the record of the constitution in the constant corruption that is it but we look at some other things we're talking about insecurity we're talking about division and non of which distros along religious and ethnic lines and here we have we want to talk about we like it and we have to keep talking about the muslim muslim ticket but that we like it and we have to talk about the status of health of the candidates or aspects now no candidates but that we like it and we have to talk about the integrity of the candidates when it comes about the figures the banding around data they're putting out then we need to question it we need to question their foundation we need to question their integrity or everything matters and when we deal with it we can ask that question and interrogating them or what I call the secondary issues confronting us as a nation insecurity since the one of this I guess I ask myself I go through the papers on a gumi basis and I see the tons of bad news and reportage I twist on daily and I'm asking myself what is the motivation for these people going into this office I for a person would definitely abandon ship and run out of this country but that would like it to me the presidency as we speak right now I'm not talking about the presidency as an administration but the presidency as an office is in a mess Nigeria is facing back ups I can't imagine anybody coming in and telling us it has the magic one to turn around the photos of this country in four six months or a year Saudi Arabia as a nation dem declared $88 billion profit mid-year profit because of the Hungary-Monsha Ukraine war we are here trying about bankruptcy we are here talking about 6.7 trillion Naira for payment of bankruptcy is something that is that is ultimately corrupt so let's hear from let's let's hear thank you so much so your final words barista your final words on this I was wondering because you are also a politician as it is so you know the rule of the game right yeah yes but unfortunately I have not seen a level plane ground so far because some of us we have cut short or cut out of the whole thing as what I'm concerned if you remember in March this year I think first March this year the National Assembly did pass the bill for independent candidates but to up to today never saw the light of the day that is to tell you the level of corruption in this country that is to tell you the political at the political world loves what they are doing because the political parties as far as I'm concerned have no internal democracy in the political party so are you exploiting democracy we democracy in Nigeria what you practice in Nigeria is quasi democracy as far as I'm concerned until we start implementing that and that was why most of all we are cut short because today we are talking about monetizing the whole system all of them are the same because they were there all sharing money here and there how many young Nigerians today can boast of one million to five million naira you know the huge amount of money they used to buy forms and Nigerians are clapping we are clapping for them and they are coming to campaign to us and then let me realistic and tell ourselves the truth we are not yet waiting for the positive change we deserve and people are following them around all this money they spend all this money they are spending how are they going to get it is it not from the kufas of this country that they are going to get it until we make policies in Nigeria to be less attractive and remove money policies from it we are doing and we are not doing ourselves the truth thank you Barista uhu ebu and thank you also Mr. Saka Adeyebi thank you gentlemen for being part of news now tonight hello hope you enjoyed the news please do subscribe to our youtube channel and don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates


Everyone knows Batman and most people know the films he's been in but how many truly have examined the posters He's been part of that's what I'm here for today to help guide you through the history of Batman movie posters See which ones worked and which could have used another pass maybe a snader cut for the poster We're gonna go ahead and start with the original Michael Keaton film Sorry, Adam West fans were we're not going that route But before I begin make sure to subscribe if you haven't I put out one of these poster videos every week Now and I have a ton of other content on the channel movie related. So think about it. I implore you All right, let's get into it simple elegant Iconic these are words I used to describe myself, but can also be applied to this poster Batman is a symbol after all So what way to better showcase that than to put his logo right out there for people to see Tim Burton's Batman operates outside of the Law so not even the poster can contain his glory his splendor It that that logo blows out the side of the frame because it's a large it's impactful. It's powerful It's Batman, baby. This logo is shiny. It's new. It's polished much like this Cape Crusader on the screen It's the first time we're seeing him. He's fresh on the scene and you better believe he's out for business He's out for justice. I love this poster the simplicity of it is great the painted style to it The reversed font treatment. It's all working for me. It's it's just a strong poster and it's one that Instantly is recognizable to people. Let's move on to Batman Returns if it ain't broke, right? I actually love this one more though the way the the snow element is drowning out the logo It's it's saying we're gonna tarnish your legacy We're gonna wash it away and that really comes through at the bottom of the frame where you see the snow covering over It almost looks like it's blowing parts of the logo off. Usually. I'm not keen on seraphons, but they work here It's elegant. It's simple.  I love it. I would proudly display that if I had a room of my own in my house If I married so Dead inside let's continue There was one other prominent Batman Returns poster that did feature the other characters all nicely lined up in some sort of a Batman Totem pole it works though because there's so much negative space on the sides That's kind of engulfing most of the poster your eyes really focus on these three the lighting is pretty interesting in this too They're really giving the center stage to the villains cat woman and penguin. They're very bright and punchy They're almost illuminating the scene below them with the penguins marching and even the logo itself It all feels connected Whereas Batman is kind of fading out in his own movie and when that's the whole point of the plot That's the story is to make Batman the villain make him irrelevant now and at the end of the day I think that's the job of the poster is to not only win you over to interest you But to also let you know what you're in for Let's head on over to Batman forever and so it begins the downfall of posters Now we are at the point where a logo isn't enough. We have big names associated with Batman This is a huge franchise at this point. It's selling out tickets all over the place We got to put the big name actors on the poster Jim Carrey Nicole Kidman Tommy Lee Jones Chris O'Donnell Guess Chris O'Donnell and of course our lead Batman Val Kilmer And Michael Keaton's not back. Okay. Well, I like Val Kilmer. He's fine Just not my Batman as much as it pains me to not see that beautiful logo and all its glory for a third time around I'm almost happy. It's different because it tells the audience those past two movies are a separate thing Even though we're I guess Continuing this franchise as if it were operating as a third film. It's very different all around way more color has been Infused into this thing We got bigger actors showing up and so yeah, we're gonna change the poster. We're gonna let you know that It's honestly not that bad all things considered about where I where we're at today with movie posters They position Batman in such a way that he's really encapsulating these characters inside so your focus on what's going on in the Middle there they're sandwiched in by the Batmobile on the other side So you have yourself a cavalcade of actors just at this diagonal line across the middle of the poster It adds a little bit of depth to it a little bit of interest than just having them straight on and it's I've seen much worse But this is a big step down Batman and Robin the punchline that keeps on giving but I have a knock-knock joke for you knock knock Who's there? I don't know.  This is the heroes poster There's also a villains one, but I really want to focus on this and really pay attention to the nipples that take center stage here Not so much Batman's and Robin's at this point But Batgirls Alicia for Alicia Silverstone had a hard time fitting into that costume to begin with and then they they have to go Ahead and have the audacity to light those puppies up Look at this Let's enhance if we could the artist puts some sort of a brownish bloom lighting behind Batman's arm and really Focuses on the nipples on display here beautiful job.  I don't know who taught Chris O'Donnell how to run I presume they never had arms in their life because what is going on with his his fist is so Unnaturally posed in a way that no one runs like this. Is he throwing a punch?  I hit him. I think Batman's running But I don't know where his other leg is I assume it's going behind him like that You know like he's doing a forward momentum while also flailiness cape flamboyantly But it's so drowned out in this the blur the motion blur in the shadows. It's hard to know what's happening Also George Clooney, I mean come on.  Yes. He's very wealthy. He's rich That's about the only thing he has in common with the character even in his facial expression here He just looks like he has zero shits to give. He's like, I'm Batman. I'm Clooney The other Batman and Robin poster is pretty standard stuff You have the entire crew of main characters on display with with an X pattern Kind of breaking everyone apart You got dark heroes on the left and right and then for some reason bad girls joined up with poison ivy down below Mr. Freeze taking at the prominent position in the in the top center. I love Arnold But they need to chill out with this placement. This doesn't make any sense. It's not the worst poster all things considered I'd get rid of the names that are just floating above the characters I think that's ugly and messy get it more simplified I mean people know who these actors are, you know at this point in time people actually knew who actors were Unlike today's generation where you know tiktok people and youtubers and you don't really know who George Clooney is It's fine. I'm not I don't it's nothing wrong with it I'm just saying when this movie came out people recognized all of these actors So yeah, this is a colorful nightmare just like the film. It reflects it very well It's a mass just like the film reflects that very well, but all things considered It's not that terrible Batman Begins has a series of posters that are all very similar the colors are the same across the board They all play off of silhouettes and they all really go full in on the whole bat motif There's bats everywhere in this thing You could spend a day counting up the amount of bats on display between these posters I like the concept behind them the execution is very well done You know the man transforming into the thing he fears these bats You know flying down from the sky towards the camera just the kind of brooding look of all of them However the color the browns not my favorite that's not something I think I would like displaying in my house Once again, I don't have a room to myself. I'm a sad shell of a man I once was but still I I'm just not huge on these posters I like that there's a theme to them and again it does match the color of the film Which kind of does have this gross brownish to it I never really cared for Batman Begins from a visual standpoint Especially coming from Christopher Nolan who I know is more than capable of making beautiful films now. We're talking I love these posters for the Dark Knight Again, the Dark Knight is such a good movie.  I would get rid of it It doesn't add anything. It just kind of takes away from some of that empty space I would have liked there. We don't need to cram stuff into that area We can keep that we can keep that clean and the logo at the bottom with the blue rays shooting out too much I don't like that. It's distracting keep it focused on Batman and that symbol that beautiful symbol above them Very nice poster one of my favorite posters in all of the Batman movies has to be that Joker profile one where he's Blurred out in the background and the why so serious is written in blood It's a much darker poster than we've ever seen from these films And that's because Heath Ledger's character is far darker than anything we'd seen before The how the smile plays out is really interesting with that blood splatter They got the logo right at the bottom this time that bat icon isn't blasting off with rays of sunshine It's very muted here. There's a nice skyline behind the Joker It's a bit layered add some depth to the poster without going wild with it You're really focused on just that simple sentence that really cool font treatment and that sick smile across Joker's face There are a ton of Dark Knight posters though, and I think they all work pretty well I don't have a problem with really any of them So this was a great series and a great film the Dark Knight Rises series is probably the least creative of the Christopher Nolan posters My favorite of the bunch is definitely the bad symbol made out of the buildings using the dead space And I love the message behind it the decrepit buildings falling apart the darkness down below Can only be saved by the sky above the opening in the city tops that feature the Batman logo It's awesome very well done Most of the series is really into the snow slash rain effects beating down every which way on the characters They're all kind of stoically standing there There's a lot of character posters for this one just one person with the the rise messaging above They all do the trick That they're pretty they're nice. They're lovely looking a lack of color in all of them nothing amazing by any means nothing That screams creativity.

Okay, we are going to be going back to Brittle Hollow. We can go ahead and take a look at that black hole, try and get to the Hanging City. Oh my gosh, bro, I was so close to shmackin' it up. All right, yes, this is where we need to go. Engage. All right, we got autopilot on this baby. We're heading over there. Gonna be there in a Jiffy Poo, in a little jampy. Oh dude, look at that, look at that. It's so beautiful, wow. Oh, look at that comet, man. That is just a sight to see, gorgeous. Wow, it's like we made it. Okay, so the main attraction today is going to be the North Pole, this place. All right, beautiful, we're just going to land right here. Note the soft landing, I know, pretty impressive. Oh my gosh, dude, that's as good as it's gonna frickin' get, I'm pretty sure.  Oh, I'll say hello to Papa. Oh, God, yes, can I get in here? What's this? I'm here, I did it, I put the ship down safely. And that ship went down, and I didn't sustain bodily harm. Few minor repairs, and it's like the ship never even hit those rocks. One of my better attempts, Field Spar would barely have laughed at me, I bet that's the good news, the bad news, I haven't found a way inside this structure yet. The door's broken, I know I'm not ready to explore, but I think I would've found a different attraction by now if there were one, but probably. I can't get inside from here, but I know there are paths below the surface. I'm going to head north to the ruins on the equator to try and find a way down. Okay, yee-haw, yee-haw. Okay, back in we go. We're going to try and find some ruins north of the equator. Oh, okay, this looks interesting. Oh, and I'm thinking I should probably read this stuff.  Oh, there we go. Can you please?  Can I seriously get that far away from it? The love of God. Perfect, cool, beautiful.   Heh heh heh. I would like to be up here. I don't know what to tell you. Just let me land my freaking thing up here, man. Come on. Okay. Nope, no, that won't work. Fuckin' annoying. All right. Jesus Christ. Come on, baby, just let me up here. Let your boy up here, come on. Mother fuckers, dude. Please. What? See what? I can't get out of here.  Is this one of those ones where if you look away from it, it disappears? And it's gone. What do you know?  Oh my, okay. We're done. We're done with this.      Not in an angle? All right, well, there's the first one down. This might just be a part two of the first episode, man. Yeah, dude, it's me again.   I really hope so, at least for the sake of my homework. All right, where is it? Where's my planet? It's a little bit right there. Okay, we're gonna get back. We're gonna get back to Bertol Hollow.   No, not really. We're just gonna see how they figured out how to get deep, deep.  How we know it, how we know it, how we know it, how we know it, how we know it, how we know it. Jesus Christ, this is why I wonder.  Sweet mother of Jesus.  Now, I'm pretty sure they recommend at the beginning when you start the game to play on a gamepad, meaning a controller.    That's what I like to do. It's a little hobby.   I'm looking for the ruins over here. I think they said it was ruins. I can't freaking remember. Ooh, dude, ooh. I don't think I have seen this before.  I'm gonna take a look at this really quick, guys.  Go ahead and take a look at these ruins. It could hurt me, though.    Oh, poor guy. God, this stuff's so cool, though, too.  Nice and chrome-y, the fucking. But I'm not a dummy. I won't touch it. Are these big pieces of? No, they can't be. Whoa, what is that? Is that a broken gravity crystal? Stone? It turns out we're actually making our way down. Oh! Oh, my God. Dude, that sure was a close call. Geez. Gravity crystal workshop is above. And there's a bomb somewhere along. Oh, cool. Cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. That 10-IT strikes it in. Watch this.  Oh! He needs some milk! Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.  So, you know the drill. We're gonna get right at her again. We're gonna get her done there, boys. We're gonna get her done there, boys. No way, can I get her done? Is that my planet? Is that my planet? Where's the big, old black hole? I'm gonna find you, bud. There she goes. And there's that autopilot sun. Sun, sun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a bad feeling. I got a bad feeling about this. No, no, no, not today, babies. Oh my, just barely missed it. You guys saw what was about to happen there.   That was cool. I'm just like, I'm just getting rammed on my luck. I felt like this was a souls-like last episode but this episode I really feel like it's a souls-like. Ooh, what in the shit? Look at this thing, dude. What is this? Activate the gravity. Call the shuttle home. The shuttle is currently resting on the quantum moon. Ah, are you serious? Okay, I wanna call the shuttle home then, I guess. Oh, dude.   Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

How are you? It's always a pleasure to have you Let's start with this headline which I it escaped me while I was taking a look at the Guardian newspaper But I just saw it now and it's very crucial manufacturers flay excise duty increase call for suspension What's your take on that the fact that there's an increase in the excise duty in the first place What do you say to that? Oh? Okay, you see with us. We lost contact with mr. Kola. Well, he's going to definitely call us back All right. Yeah, that's actually some people called it Analyst called it the president and Mohammed the Buhar is a passing gift to Nigerians and some Product aware their excise or their duties were increased and even telecoms I discussed it on the show sometime last week telecoms single-user and plastic and some other manufacturing You know sectors that were affected and they had nijambit MA and that's the manufacturers association of Nigeria Where in the news and they were kicking against it and they were saying that it would actually affect The sector going forward. Yeah, we're not here manufacturers Being affected in any way in this country. I it touches me because we Here we are trying to encourage Local productions and the last thing we need is anything that would discourage them when we are the others That's why I really wanted him to touch it because I'm not another another specifically the Non-alcoholic beverage is also affected. I think that there's an increase Some of the luxury yes, and some imported ones if I understand those ones were the imported ones But why this one touches what makes me feel a little bit uncomfortable is we're talking about the manufacturers The ones being manufactured here if I get this very well So because we we import virtually almost everything so want to see a situation where we become more of a You know we manufacture more than we import that is one of the only way we can you know We can make purpose as a nation Yeah, but the the first one you read actually touched me today's a World on hypertension date. It says up. That's still on the Guardian that these are pressure Lifestyle a lifestyle increase high BP among the emphasis is on Nigerian youths now people in their 30s and You know 40s are actually, you know Getting high blood pressure and it is really very worrisome You know a lot of people have talked about how Nigerians need to adjust that modify their lifestyle Because this issue of BP is a silent killer. It's it's it's so sad that it's it's it's it's it's The rate at which people suffer BP in Nigeria is so Alarming to say the list and among the youth and they say pressure lifestyle pressure Legos is one place People and and with that that's why on this program talked a lot about Recreation take time to go out and just relax from time to time when you're not working Go to the beach look for ways to just exhale and relax a bit because it is a lot to leave in Lagos I tell you it is it is imagine spending three four hours in Lagos traffic when you're not actually traveling to be Understand that Mr. Tunde Kola Wale has joined us again. Hello, Mr. Tunde. Are you back now? Very unfortunate We had that disconnection, but did you hear the question I asked the headline I'd read on the Guardian newspaper with respect to the manufacturers kicking against the exercise duty Especially Now that's not much money is coming Both the treasure go man the state go and the local comment I'm looking at what And we know this just written off actually are creating taxes whether these taxes are just fighting, whether people get benefit of value for the tax that they pay, it's a difference in mentality, but the truth of the localization, the Nigerian business community is already overcast. These are now increasing the expertise, you see, we are putting more buttons on all these businesses as the indonesians in the country. I would rather, as I've always advocated, the cost of governance in this country is too high, too expensive, it's not sustainable, the cost of contract in this country is too high, it's not sustainable. In fact, the cost of contract in this country is criminal. We should look at ways and means to really reduce the expenditures in those areas and not begin to impose unnecessary budget on the business community. Because when you do, people will lose their jobs, they will continue to be affected. And of course, the business community has a time to take their business into the economy because it's like Ghana, like Tupo, like the Republic, like NJ.  Alright, let's move over to the very next one here, especially since you're a lawyer. Talk to us about what's happening with Shio Kuti. First, in a very interesting way, the people in that time used to be no lawyers and no responsible citizens who support the health source of the law at first point, the agency. And in fact, when you look at the law, the principles of legal justice and law, it stands very seriously against the health source of the law enforcement officer. And in terms of the law enforcement officer, just a little bit was cut in this morning. There's too much pressure. We are not legal, constantly putting the blood pressure to go up. And no source of education. And there was no some behavior across the board. The security officers are not environmentalists. Some of the places that ordinary citizens go to. So times it happened and there was nothing possible that the things that they call the other way would have a look or things that they could undo in the most legal manner. They might even take it and then undo it otherwise. Which might sometimes border on provocation, which might sometimes want to make citizens want to defend themselves. We are not hard. We don't have the executive on what to inspire the commission and the police officer that he has adopted. And so we cannot make any categorical statements on that. I will give you as an example. I think it was only one of the world costs. In which the agency has voted one of the players on the field. When that happened, the decision of Trump was sent off the pitch. And the spectrum of it is quite small. What has happened between those two fields? But at the end of the day we go to hear that the other players that we would prefer to have a citizen that she has a mother or girlfriend. I mean, just a sister, a girlfriend. We can present in a refugee camp which we need to export this player. So until we get what we need to transfer to the commission and then that police officer could not, it would be difficult for us to make a very reasonable diagnosis of what to transfer. But for now, let's not say that it is not a responsible way to begin to assault a law enforcement officer, whether it is the police, whether it is the army, whether it is the last man, whether it is the guy, or one of those. No matter the level of vocation, which will be claimed from a certain level. The matter is in court now. We also can't talk too much about it. Because I'm willing to fall in power of the law enforcement. Okay. All right, so let's move on to the punch newspaper. Doctors are commenced a warning striker today. The punter captioned this way, strike doctors, Sean talks, medical toys and gobs, $3 billion in three years. Residents doctors rejecting the case peace move and the cry health sector's brain drain. You are aware of what's going on in the medical sector with the bill that is being proposed to keep Nigerians here for like five years before they can actually seek greener pastures. In the wake of that, the NMA is going on strike. It started a warning strike today. What are your reactions concerning all of that? Well, how can I say that any more, any more, that is that the medical doctor cannot leave Nigeria to fly their crate outside the shores of Nigeria. It's just a warning warning of being shot. It could be typical or impossible to report. Because it is time to move to slay the path of the medical doctor. If you did not report to the station or another worker in the country for more than 10 sectors of the country and now that, then it is a different virtue of you to begin to report to the medical doctors. And you know that the country of the federal republic of Nigeria runs very seriously after different achievements of different workers, of different tribes, of different towns, of different agenda. It's in the Nigerian community. But I don't think that it's going to work. If the medical doctors, if you are probably given their scholarships or loans or some other thing done with the course of your study, in which it was part of the blow of the scholarship, that the last worker, the federal government of the federal government for about five years before the constitutional skills with some other sectors, that might be the reason we would have to come to contact. We have to try to contact volunteer and mother to go to the plan by each. But in the absence of such a thing, I don't think we're supposed to buy here the future medical doctors for work. After the strike of the doctors and mothers, I use some of the public hospitals. And each time I go there, I will tell you that even though the doctors are ready to work, the environment in which they work is the most uncomfortable environment that anybody can talk to working. I give you an example. One of the hospitals that I use, I have to go there to buy there in the morning and I had to resolve it until I got to that night. Because we don't have to see too many people. We have almost one doctor, about 100 patients in the city. I think we should be able to see a doctor and that can also contact them. Moreover, the specific treatment that the political environment will work are not fair. And it was not seen that the federal government is going to allow people to provide a specific treatment. So, we will be given an address to say that we can take a decision on the medical department to work for us. Also, then we have to start a better way of a better working conditions in the situation of that. Doctors are also reminded, they read the papers, they see the surveillance packages that the supporters are likely to take over the research. They are going to be purchased after most of those years they have been for four years for more than 10 months. We have said that in recent years, spending three years and nine or four five minutes in car for themselves, their facilities and their lives, we are only for a couple of years for those four years here. And we also have some other very busy surveillance and surveillance packages. These are some of the things that are being shared as a part of, for some of the racial strife with child safety and agitation that we all know about the country. And then the country has to also start with the medical department. Let them invest the money that they take abroad within the major health sector. And then they will see the underage people perform. The demand power is where the kids are here. What is lacking in the inclusive environment and then the treatment they want to. After all, when you talk about those, they have to go back itself to those places. Of course, Nigerian doctors are doing greatly. In fact, Nigerians abroad doing excellently in different fields, there's just no doubt about that. And although yesterday whilst we were looking at this, we're hoping that they probably would not go on the strike because of the masses that will suffer as a result of the strike. And also because this particular administration has just few days to leave. We were wondering of what import this strike at this point in time would be. But then you have it, they have decided that it would go on strike and they have indeed gone on that warning strike today. But so let's move from that to another headline on the punch newspaper, the borders on security. Anambra Gunman killed two US consulate officials, two cops. Now this is a very serious one because it's gone international now. The security situation in the East continues to be a major problem. And thank you. Where am I? Where am I right now? It's morning and it was a shocking day for me. That we had no idea who killed the Nicaraguanan people who are supposed to be going to kill all the other special forces in Pakistan. We just didn't have any idea who killed the Nicaraguanan people. We just don't have any idea who killed the Nicaraguanans or the good or the people or some community people there. And now this is going on. I was committing which way I was going to see, and I was clearly in court law, what is using the way I have. I have said this and this has come down. While I agree that people now are right to agitate for truth and tragedy, for evil confederation, or even in the time that they do it in a very peaceful manner, in a very polite manner, in a very bloodless manner. And it is possible to do whatever you want, because Shashi is the only person who can do it. But my Gandhi, my superior King, my commander of India, my superior King, the very leader of America, thought of that the people are boundless. You can fear to whatever effect you have, if you are a priest. And that could affect the fear to all their depictions, if I please. Fear to whatever effect you have, or if it is so serious, that they are boundless. We do apologize for that irritating sound coming from the connection there. I don't understand why I'm having that. But he's struggling to be heard, obviously, poor connection. Hello, Mr. Tunde. Are you still with us? Alright, let's move on to another story now. The federal government seems to be setting an agenda for the incoming administration in terms of fighting corruption. And as it is aptly said here on the punch in this paper, just above the masthead, are strengthening anti-graft agencies, federal government, advices, tinobu. Do you think that's a panacea to the issue of corruption or graphs that we have? Oh, wow. Baisakhala, can you hear us? Baisakhala, are you still there? Yes, I'm here to hear you. Alright, so fine, I just wanted you to hear us. Yes, the federal government is advising tinobu to strengthen anti-graft agencies. Just how far can that go in stemming the tide? I have, my advice is that when it comes to you, we have not come close to fighting against corruption. And then you'll just keep your mind out. And if you do that, we will let you to watch our everyday revolts in our fighting against corruption.      Alright, I... You call? You call? Alright, it's still the Breakfast on Plus TV Africa. We'll try and reconnect again with Tunde Kolaoli and see if we can get clarity in the audio and hear him. Maureen, the issue of strengthening anti-graft agencies, this is not the first time that we've had it. We have the EFCC, we have the ICPC and most of the time they always complain that they don't really have all they need to actually get their job done. Oh well, someone did say yesterday that there was no need to have both of them. Yeah, there was no need to have both of them. Why not have one solid, strong anti-graft agency that is well-funded and well-monitored? Okay. Why the, you know, why the duplicity? Why the duplicity? And that's a major problem we've had, not just with anti-graft agencies in different spheres of our life. We have duplicity.  What is the focus here? Is it to make things better for the country? Or is it just to reward people with positions at the risk of getting the job done? Getting the job done. You sacrifice credibility. You sacrifice excellence to make people happy. And at the end of the day, we just keep going around in circles. That's really a sad one. Well, that's another way to look at it, having just one particular institution that is centered with the responsibility of fighting this graft head on. Well, I just hope that if that is actually taken into consideration, they would actually give them all they really need. Because when you talk of strengthening them, is it as a result of them, they don't have enough hands to work there or they don't have the resources to do right investigation.  Before you know it, there are some grounds that they have brought in court because they really had no merit at all. But they've not really done adequate preparation before they even take such cases to court. Well, Justice, I really do not know what their problem is. I can't speak for them, but one thing we know is that meritocracy must be given room in every paracetal of government so that we can begin to see a change. The science change. That's where. We do need to have corruption fought and fought properly. No selection. No selective judgment. No selective justice. No double standards. We want to see that corruption is fought. Of course corruption will fight back. It will fight back. And it fights dirty. But if you as a government stand and say, this is what I want to do, you can do it. I do not understand what the challenges are, but there shouldn't be. There shouldn't be. Because ordinarily, they have it cut off for them if they really want to do it. They just show the body language that they are willing to fight grafts. They can actually fight grafts. Because this present administration came up when they came on board in 2015, one of their top priorities then was fighting corruption. I won't have thought that, but I think we are singing a very wonderful tune in terms of how far we have gone in the fight against corruption, but that is left to the same. Oh, well. The APC government is continuing after a few days from now. It's in about two weeks from now. Let's see what happens. All right. We still have color lazy coming back. I think the time for the after-press is over. We still have color lazy joined us for two days of the press. Unfortunately, we couldn't have him all the way because of connectivity. Thank you so much, color lazy. I'm sure you're listening to us even though you're not joining us live anymore. We'll take a break and be back with the breakfast. Stay with us.


The game itself can be beautiful. It's just like if you're an actor and you're in a play, and then maybe the performance is finished and you are really lost in your role in that performance. You are, the character took you over completely.   You then take on the next role. So humanity collectively, we are awakening from the drama the drama that we had been totally immersed in that had taken a pretty bad turn, that had carried us to a place where we lost touch with fundamental truths about the world, about reality, about being human. And now we're kind of waking up to the fact that, hey, actually, this was just a story. This was a play. This was a drama, and we were all playing roles in it. And now we realize that. And we're coming now, more and more of us, into contact with the non-dual world, with the preconceptual world, with, I mean, through all kinds of experiences and realizations. And that doesn't mean that, oh, okay, we're never gonna go back into story again, and symbol, and representation, and science, and technology, et cetera, et cetera. And we're going to exit the world. Now, we're gonna say, okay, what's the next story that we will participate in? What's the next role that we are gonna play? And everyone can ask themselves that question too. Given the knowledge that is awakening in me, how do I play a good role? And maybe we remember, yeah, sometimes it's good to touch back into a prior reality. To make sure that we're playing our role well, and we can only know if we're playing our role well, and if the game itself is beautiful, if we look at it from outside the role and from outside the game. So that's the utility of what we call spiritual practices. And I think we can rehabilitate the word spirituality in this way, because when it takes on connotations of other worldliness, it can end up desacralizing the world. Because if the sacred is to be found in the spiritual, then the world becomes profane. And we end up treating the world as a profanity. And we engage in what is essentially sacrilegious behavior toward nature. So that version of spirituality is quite bankrupt. But when we understand this other worldliness as a reconnection to a prior reality, then it can exercise a really powerful positive effect on our worldly affairs.


The Earth is undeniably getting hotter. For the third time in a row, the past year has gone down as the hottest on record. While researchers don't expect every year to be record shattering, the trend is disconcerting, perhaps nowhere more so than in South Asia. A new study shows that here, unique climate effects converge with poor living conditions and high population density to create the most at-risk hotspot on our planet. Climate data shows that some of the world's hottest zones lie across Asia. In these areas, the wet bulb temperature, a measure of temperature that accounts for humidity, reaches life-threatening heights, commonly above 28 degrees Celsius. For perspective, consider that spending just a few hours at a wet bulb temperature of 35 degrees is enough to cause death. And according to an international team of researchers, this heating trend might only get worse. Using high-resolution climate models of India and surrounding regions, they predicted temperatures through the end of this century. Specifically, they considered two scenarios, one assuming successful mitigation of greenhouse gases similar to what the Paris Agreement calls for and the other assuming the current pace of emissions. Left unabated, greenhouse gases would catapult a few locations over the threshold for human survival, with many other areas approaching that limit. Under the low emissions scenario, the situation is overall less grim. While portions of South Asia are expected to experience dangerous heat waves with wet bulb temperatures above 31 degrees, no region is projected to top 35 degrees. And the fraction of the population exposed to heat waves above 31 degrees is predicted to be considerably lower, 2% versus 30%. Those results could serve as a cautionary tale regarding greenhouse gas emissions, especially given South Asia's unique demographics. The Indus and Ganges River valleys are home to more than one billion people, many of whom are low-income farmers. Constant exposure to outdoor temperatures and limited access to air conditioning make those living here uniquely vulnerable to the effects of heat waves. The positive twist of fate implied by a low emissions future suggests that it might not be too late to redirect this region's deadly path. But as a country with growing carbon emissions, India is faced with a difficult choice between supporting rapid economic growth and saving its low-income farmers from unprecedented heat waves.


Because you're speaking to America. Ho-ho! Ah! Ha-ha! Honey! I'm actually getting ready to jump on a business call, but if you guys want to go ahead and follow me in, that'd be perfect. Yeah, thank you so much for calling me and working with me today, because yesterday I was just like, ah, I have a meeting. Okay, so I am a military spouse. My husband is in the Air Force here in Las Vegas, and I do modeling more as a hobby. I would say I am mainly a YouTuber. Okay, sorry about that. I just had a really important business call. It went really well. My main goal of the call was to get an email address, and I successfully did that. So when we first moved here, I didn't have a job, but it's not hard to find a job if you're continuously looking for one. There are websites that you can use, usjobs.gov and naffjobs.org that you can look for available jobs to apply for. So I had friends who would work at places on base, but kind of I decided that if YouTube is something that we want to do that we need to spend a lot of time working on it, which he doesn't have when he has a full-time job and actually over time job most days. So I do the cooking. Oh my gosh, these are going to be like the hardest hard boiled eggs ever. Yep, they got a little cracked. The cleaning. Friends. Letters. We also have our own business. Schedule out things that we need to do, schedule out videos. I also work for another YouTube channel as well. This is Heather. Hey. I work for her and with working with them, I get to go to CES with them. So I help them with emails, taking care of community work on the YouTube channel. I don't have a lot of time right now because I need to go to my boss's house to get some work done. One of the things that makes spouses really nervous is making friends whenever they move from home because when you're at home, you're used to all the people there.  How am I going to meet new people there? One of my biggest recommendations is join the spouses page for the base that you go to. Whenever I had first moved to Okinawa, I had made a post on the spouses page and I wasn't even asking for a friend at the time, but a girl had reached out to me and saw that I was new.  And at first it was really weird because I was new to the whole military spouse life. Then I was like, okay, what's it going to hurt to go? I might make a new friend. So we went and got our nails done and she actually became my very best friend and even though you may be shy, you're not the only one and you can find other people to connect with. I think going into the military life, you think it's going to be a whole new world and it's actually not, it's just like everyday life. I just welcomed all of it with open arms. I was so excited for the new experiences and travels and meeting new people. I love meeting new people because you can learn so much. Now that I am at Heather's house, this is my boss. We are going to get to work, but I'm going to let her explain to you what I do. So we run a media company where we teach people how to grow their influence with videos. So McKenna is on staff now, she started as an intern and she's now on staff part of our time helping us with our social media presence as well as our communication. So she's kind of head of those two departments that we have in our company. I know we're going to do affiliate tonight too. Good job. Thank you for everything. Great. See you tomorrow. Okay. So I just finished up work for the day at Heather's house and now I'm on my way to the post office because our subscribers will send us things from time to time and love watching us open their gifts. And today we're going to be doing our very first PO Box haul of 2008. They just let us know how much they appreciate our channel and we love being able to hear that from them because it makes us happy. No. Thank you. Somebody sent us lights and we needed those because the one that we have right now at the house I'm actually borrowing from Heather. Oh my God. I don't even have words to say how much I appreciate it. So I need to go get ready for date night. So I'll be right back. Mary to this guy. And I'm Kyle Gott and I am in the Air Force. I am an aircraft structural maintainer and outside of the Air Force I also pursue YouTube. I was going to join the military at one point in time but whenever I was looking up information to join I came across this YouTube channel and it ended up being Kyle's channel. He had his personal Facebook link to it. And watching the video I didn't even think like oh this guy's cute let me message him and date him. We actually knew some of the same people and we became really really good friends. And six months after that very first message we started dating. She gets nervous when we like do like real shoot stuff. And whenever we were dating I just got to know that he did that all the time. So as we grew our relationship we talked about starting a channel when we got married. So we call our YouTube channel our video scrapbook. All of our travels and daily life and things like that live there. Really good marriage but we still struggle with things just like everybody else does and something that is really important is spending time together to continue to grow your relationship and have fun together. So tonight we are going to Dave and Buster's so we're going to do tonight and just relax and have fun together.


Welcome back to the Sports Mag Zone, where we're less than 24 hours to post for the richest horse race in the history of the Caribbean. Post time for the Muhtemail is set for 4.45 pm, 5.45 in the eastern Caribbean. And the event boasts a substantial purse of US$150,000 or US$22.5 million. It will be restricted to thoroughbreds 3 years old and upward. As we continue our preview to tomorrow's massive race day, we're joined on set by two astute horse racing experts. We have resident horse racing analyst, now horse racing trainer Michael Cain. And surprise surprise, we're also joined by a legendary American announcer Andy Serling, who will be presenting on the networks Fox and Naira. Good afternoon gentlemen. I'm so happy to have you in studio. I'm thrilled to be here. Good afternoon. Pleasure is all mine. Yeah, I'm going to start with Andy because he is our visitor. How are you enjoying Jamaica and are you ready for tomorrow? Do you even know what you're in store for tomorrow? Well, we have a pretty substantial Jamaican community that are our loyalist fans in New York. So, at least I'm aware of how it can be. I think they're going to be turning the volume up quite a bit tomorrow, but some of my closest friends at the racetrack for many years are Jamaican and so they've been telling me for a long time I needed to come here and I'm really excited to be here and we've been having an amazing week. Everybody has been more than hospitable, taking us all around the island, out in different things, out on a boat yesterday, got the track for the first time actually today. It was a fun visit, but I may not be quite ready for tomorrow, but I know it's going to be an amazing day. Yeah, I think once it starts you'll be fine.  Of course you have a large following and we follow you here in the Caribbean. So just talk to me about, you know, what the sort of reach that this moote mile will be getting from the coverage of Fox and Naira and just having you on. Well, I mean, it's a very big day for us in New York tomorrow with the cigar mile. And so it's our last really big race of the year in New York. So it's already a big card for us and we cover, of course, as I'm sure people know on Fox Sports and America's Day at the races every day. And so there will be a lot of people paying attention for that. So because of that, showing the Chairman's Cup earlier in the day, a little after two o'clock, and then after the cigar mile. So we'll have like a full half hour or more even to talk about this race and Michael's going to help us a little bit and help the fans at home. So I think we're going to carry that audience very well and give an opportunity for people to get their eyes on the racing here in Jamaica. And we hope that more people are able to take advantage of it because I can tell people it's just been a great experience for us and we're going to be sharing that with New York and letting our customers know how much fun it is down here. Yeah, really looking forward. So Michael is the man I need to talk to because I will be at Kimana Spark tomorrow and you seem to know what's going to be happening, whether betting and the odds and everything is concerned. So Michael, talk to me. Well, it's the biggest race ever in the history of the Caribbean and of course, Kimana Spark, 150,000 US. That's a lot of cash and we have two foreign riders coming down, Jordan Leparoo, and there's also Daisuke Fokumoto. He's a Japanese national and their presence in that event in and of itself speaks volumes for the caliber of the race and the type of finish that we're expecting. So we have the best local breeds and we have a couple importees. So it's going to be an intriguing match up and we're looking forward to see a very, very big finish. So where do I put that money that I have? Well, I can tell you the horse of the year is a good bet. Atomica is a good bet. Yeah, I was I was making the point to Solomon Sharp yesterday. The the CEO of Super Inventures Racing and Entertainment Ltd. That last year's Mute mile. A furlong and a half from the finish. There are about seven or eight horses who could have won the race. That's how competitive the homestretch battle was. And when I look at the competitive nature of this field, I'm thinking Michael that I wouldn't be surprised if we have a similar kind of race where at the eighth pole, more than two or three horses could be in a shot for the win. Yes, that's all answer. It's a star studded field, a lot of talent all around, a lot of pace, a lot of speed. And I've boiled it down to who server is in front at five sixteenths. I think that that's going to be the winner. There's not much deep closures with a lot of PS horses, a lot of speed horses. So it's going to come down to the tactics employed by the riders and their positioning at five sixteenths. Yeah, so this is what the field looked like. Approaching the furlong pole with mahogany out front, but beginning to to fade here and a wall of horses coming to challenge, including the eventual winner excessive force on the inside with Bebito Harvey coming through for the victory there. And there's the great Duke coming up fast on the outside to get second spot. Duke, one of the starters in tomorrow's race. Can we have a look at the the morning line odds? Because Michael Cain, I gather that you are the person responsible for putting the the morning line odds out. And that's the the odds there on the right hand side, giving us an idea of who should be the top contenders. She's my destiny. The gold cup winner is at eight to one blue vinyl double classic winner last year is at four to one mahogany is showing as a seven to two second favorite. I am Fred at nine to two. Good morning line betting. Therefore, I am Fred Runaway. I'll go showing at 15 to one, although this horse has won five times already this year. The outside half of the field has atomica is a three to one favorite. Perfect brew is at six to one. That's the horse that Fukumoto from Canada is riding. Well, he's Japanese, but based in Canada and ability with the upset winner of the Derby in August is at 12 to one. Rough entry who has been highly thought of and has been the talk of the town at Exercise Gallops in recent weeks, showing here, Michael, a 10 to one. I think most people. Clue into this race would figure that rough entry has a better shot than 10 to one. Explain your 10 to one rating for this horse. Well, that rating is based on the fact that he hasn't raced locally and he's coming up against our best of the best. So as you can see, it's a lukewarm three to one favorite for atomica followed by the proven mahogany. So he's he's at a mid-range odds at 10 to one. 10 to one is a fair price for him. It can it can either go down or more chances I won't go up based upon the the room. So can I can I bet you here that at post time tomorrow, Ruffin, who will have better odds than 10 to one, would you take that bet? No, you wouldn't take the bet? No, I wonder why not. And he has a lot of supporters, a lot of supporters. I'm sure he'll be better than 10 to one. You're going to get less than 10 to one.  You have never seen K-Manus Park racing before live. Not live. I've seen it on the TV. Yes, I recognize that. Are you at a disadvantage assessing and analyzing this race because you don't live here? I say that because racing fans would know that when you take up a race book, you get all the information that you need on a horse. So you actually don't need to watch the horse run to know the form of a horse and what the horse is capable of. Do you think you are well equipped to predict what happens tomorrow? Well, if my selections do well, I'm definitely well equipped. When they do badly, I'm going to blame it on my lack of experience down here in Jamaica. I'm going to really rely on the man over here to my left. He's the man down here. Michael's the guy down here. So I'm going to get some information from him when I study the PPs a lot tonight, try to watch some replays. But, you know, it's different, obviously, than being in, you know, in New York and in America, there's a similarity to racing. You always have some familiarity with some of the horses being there, know some of the trainers. So I don't have that kind of contextual knowledge about the trainers and riders here that I would have, even if not in New York track, whether we're talking about Oklahoma in the winter or a Gulf Stream or even in California. So while I focus on New York, I do follow their circuits, but I don't have experience with people down here. So, yeah, I'll be at a disadvantage. But if I do well, it'll probably just be done luck. Well, Michael has already picked Atomica to win the race. I don't know how much of the racebook you have studied, but from your cursory look at the field, do you think Mike is on the right track with his Atomica prediction? Well, I'm going to trust him, Michael. I believe that he's an expert in a way that I cannot possibly be. But I got the PPs. We were out of the track today for the first time, and I got the PPs. And I'll be honest, I have not had much of a chance. We've been busy to study, but I am going to spend tonight studying them, try to watch some replays, go to the website, and try to figure some stuff out. Listen, I'm not a guy who's inclined to take a favorite in a 16-horse field. That doesn't mean that the favorite's not the right horse in there. And I certainly respect his opinion a lot more than anything that I know about it. And if he says she's the horse to beat, she is the horse to beat. But I want to take a good look at it and see if there's something I can come up with.  And the horse has no chance. Michael, you just said that the horse that leads entering the homestretch, you think will win. Let me challenge you on that a bit, because there are some horses here with good tactical speed. High-quality horses like Atomica and Mahogany. And she's my destiny, who may be not as good as Atomica and Mahogany would be based on just raw ability. But isn't there a possibility that these horses who love to dictate things on the front end could enjoy themselves for the first six furlongs, but then in the homestretch, something coming from behind like a perfect brew or something comes beating them because they've given so much in fighting off pacy horses for the first six furlongs. Yes, that's a distinct possibility. And in a race of this nature where there's a lot of pace, a lot of speed, sometimes you find that the horse that outspeeds the other pace and speed horses, they have a distinct advantage at the top of the lane. So if they don't use up too much energy in doing so, they should have enough in the tank to hold on from the outpaced deep closers. Yeah, which is the key point that you just made. If they don't use up too much energy, and I'm thinking based on how Tamar's race sets up, I somehow think that whoever leads into the homestretch, if it is that that horse was a part of the pace from the beginning, there's a high possibility that that horse may have used up too much energy. Yes, that's a possibility as well. And the spritz that they do, yes, it's gonna come back to hunt them. So I'm quite sure the jockeys are quite competent. They're not gonna burn themselves out. It's the biggest race of the year.  They're gonna reserve enough. And when they meet that pivotal move, that's where it's gonna come. I'm gonna ask you quickly before we wrap about a horse here. I am Fred. I see you have I'm Fred at nine to two, which is a good bet. I am Fred is in red. The silks. Excessive force war red last year. Okay. I am wearing red. How is I am Fred? I am Fred looks good. He started out this season undefeated for win some four starts. He beat a couple of good horses, he beat runaway Algo and so on. So he is the type that he can be held off the spritz. He doesn't have to lead. He has great pace. And the way the race is gonna unfold, he's gonna be finishing it very powerfully. And the rider for the parchment, he's a power horse jockey. He's a strong rider. Very strong rider. Very aggressive. Extremely. Maybe too aggressive at times. Yes. And his trainer, Jason Dacosta, leading and champion trainer appears not to be able to do anything wrong at K minus four these days. He's a top trainer. Jason Dacosta. Yes, definitely. And he has multiple entries. She's my destiny one, the gold cup. And she's drawn one, not the best place to be, but she's gonna definitely have an impact. And she has the leading rider, Ray and Lewis on board. So, she's gotta be a home dinger. She's gotta be on and under the lead. And of course, I am afraid we'll be trying to come from off it. Yeah, but Mariah, he has taken Atomica, so I'm not sure if you're going with his suggestions, but he has taken Atomica over Mahogany. Well, just like Andy tonight, I have to do my work and I will decide because Andy, I'm also very lucky where horse racing is considered. I may not be Michael Cain, but I can figure out a thing or two. So I'll do my work tonight and tomorrow I'll let you know who I bet on. So we should compare notes tomorrow, you're saying. Because I'm not going with the red angle. The red angle's not for me. No, and because he's wearing red and this one's wearing red. I was just putting that out there. And quickly, Mahogany and Atomica were the favorites for the race last year and they didn't win. They didn't win. Atomica had a horrible trip last year, but in fact, when you look at her preparation for this year's Mute mile, it's much easier and simpler. Last year, as a three-year-old, she had the triple crown campaign. She ran in the Derby, that's 2,400 meters. She ran in the Legend, that's 2,000 meters. She came back. She also ran in the Gold Cup, where she had a horrible trip that day. And then she came back and won the Jamaica Cup in track record time, three weeks before the Mute mile. I thought that 157.3 for nine and a half furlongs with three weeks to go in the mile, too much. So this year's preparation, she has gotten some easy leads, pace-less races, just dominating. And I think that she's gonna be at her best for this big occasion. Okay, gentlemen, what I wanna thank you so much for taking the time, because you took some of your analysis time to stop by on the Sports Max. So I'm looking forward to see both of you tomorrow. And I can't wait to talk about the winner after. Pleasure, then, all mine. I appreciate being on here. All right. Remember, the Mute mile is tomorrow. And Sports Max, along with Fox and Nairo, but Sports Max, your channel, will be bringing you all the action. So tune in tomorrow as well. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. On the real excessive force mahogany, driven to the max in the Mute mile, inside the final 16th. Here now, flying over against the real excessive force, bursting through race car is wide, and excessive force wins the Mute mile. Could be close between Duke, Jordan, Reigns, mahogany, and then calculus.


Hello everyone, I'm Qiqi Lai. The title of our paper is Read 1 KDM Security View Reusable Hormorific Extractor. This is a joint work with Fenghao and Zhuo Dong. When considering security for encryption schemes, we always assume that the messages are independent of a strict key. In this case, even the message M is chosen by the adversary, he can still get no information on M from the corresponding server test. However, in some situations, the plantar's messages depend on the strict key. In this special case, the previously semantic security seems to be insufficient to provide security. To solve the security issue, the notion of KDM security has been proposed. And the relationship between the message and the strict key can be generally described by certain function class F from the strict key space to the message space. In this case, the query from the adversary is modded as a function F, and the answer from the challenger is the server test of FSK. Formally, the KDM security can be described by a security game between the challenger and the adversary in the following way. At the beginning, the challenger first choose a random beat, and then send the master public key to the adversary. Then the adversary can conduct key extraction and KDM queries. During this process, the challenger answers KDM queries according to the previously chosen B. Finally, the adversary responds a bit B prime. We see that the adversary wins the game if B equals B prime. In particular, the KDM queries are formed by functions from KDMChallengeFound class, and if B equals 1, the challenger returns the incorporations of functions of the strict key. Otherwise, the challenger returns the incorporations of 0. In this formal definition, the class of function F chosen by the adversary is an important parameter of KDM security, which is called KDMChallengeFound class. Clearly, the larger challenger function class means the stronger ability of the adversary. And we have tried to enlarge KDM function class from a secure function to a fine function, and then to projective function and general bounded size circuit. Besides, there is also another important parameter, the number unbar of different public keys in the security game. In a more general case, we call this as KDM unbar security. There exist many PKE or IBE schemes that are KDM-circuit with respect to different KDM-ChallengeFound class and different unbar of public keys. In particular, all those schemes are based on various assumptions such as DTH, ECR, QR, LWA, LAPN or CDH. However, all those existing schemes have the common drawback. Their information rates are quite small, so our main question in this paper is that how to construct a KDM unbar circle PKE with optimal information rate. And the main result of this paper consists of KDM-1 circle PKE with optimal information rate, KDM unbar circle PKE with optimal information rate for unbounded polynomial unbar, KDM unbar circle IBE with optimal information rate for unbounded polynomial unbar. In addition, the above PKE or IBE is also liquid resilient with optimal liquid rate against block leakage function. Here, I focus on the first result and the others can be viewed as its extensions. In order to describe our technique in a more clear way, we adopted the following framework view. First, this paper tells us that homomorphic WGPS implies KDM-1 security. Second, Burkowski's, at all's paper, tells us that batch encryption plus all operations implies KDM-1 plus under leakage resilience. However, the parameters in those two papers are little bit restricted, so we try to improve that prior prior result in the following three aspects. First, achieving optimal information rate. Second, set unbounded polynomial unbar. Third, generalize the result to the IBE setting. Inspired by the two papers, we consider whether we can get much better KDM circle construction from WGPS with additional structure plus homomorphic strata. Of course, before this, we should introduce the building blocks WGPS and the homomorphic strata. A weak high speed system consists of four algorithms. The first one is the setup algorithm which outputs a pair of pksk. The second one is a valid income solution algorithm which outputs a valid sabotage city and its income solution key. The third one is the invalid income solution algorithm which outputs an invalid sabotage city star. The fourth one is that of decalculating the sabotage using the sift key. Similarly, the required WGPS should satisfy the following three properties. The first one is Quranis. It specifies that the income solution key from the valid income solution algorithm should be equivalent to that of the decalculation algorithm. The second one is the sabotage indistinguishability. It specifies that even given sift key, the adversary still cannot distinguish the valid sabotage from the corresponding invalid one. The third one is an information theoretic property. In particular, it specifies that given the public key and the invalid sabotage city star, the remaining entropy of K' is still larger than W. Additionally, we still need the following useful structure of WGPS. The first, the sift key is the vector from ZB to N. Second, given vector K' the invalid sabotage city star can be simulated physically. Third, the decalculation of an invalid sabotage city star through using sift key, vector X equals vector X plus vector K' where vector K' is related to the invalid sabotage city star. Besides the WGPS, we also need to introduce homomorphic strata as a building block. Before this, we review the definition of a planned randomness strata. Generally, an efficient computable function strata from X times s to Y is called to be e strata if the output of strata rs is statistically close to uniform. Here, the source s should have enough conditional mean entropy. And homomorphic strata with respect to a final class h means that for any function small h in class big h, it holds the output of strata times hs equals strata h' xs. Here, h' is an invertible function and efficiently computable given corresponding function h. With above two building blocks, we can describe our basic schemes in the following way. First, the K' algorithm is that run the center of algorithm of WGPS and output the corresponding pK sk. Second, the encryption algorithm is that run the validly incorporated algorithm of WGPS to get a valid sabotage city and its incorporated key vector key and then compute the sabotage in this way. Now, we analyze the KDM security of the above construction. For secret key vector i's and the KDM query function h from secret key space to message space, it holds the original KDM sabotage is indistinguishable from the below randomness sabotage through using properties and additional structure of WGPS. So, we get a conclusion. We indeed can prove the security for just one KDM sabotage. Clearly, from WGPS and homomorphic strata, a restricted KDM1 security scheme can be constructed. However, it seems that the above proof technique can only support one KDM query as its indistinguishability relates to entropy of the secret key and we cannot ensure enough entropy for more than one KDM sabotage. So, we need to conquer the dilemma how to argue the normal KDM security for the above basic construction. Here, we need to introduce and leverage the correlated source security of the strata. Next, let me first introduce the definition of this required property and then see how to employ it to achieve KDM security. More formally, we see that a strata satisfies correlated source security with respect to a function class f. If for any function f i in big class f, the output of strata function are statistically close to uniform. Even the source of strata has been applied many different functions from f1 to fq, where q is an unbounded polynomial in the security parameter. With this correlated source security, I'm observing the structure of all KDM sabotage. We notice that if we treat vx plus vti prime as a shift function of vx, and the used strata indeed satisfies correlated source security with respect to shift functions, then this KDM sabotage should be indistinguishable from the below random sabotage. Clearly, we succeed to bypass the above dilemma for the restricted KDM security through using the correlated source security of the strata. Back to high level building block, we can see it more clearly. In particular, with leveraging the correlated source security of strata, we can achieve the normal KDM1 security. Furthermore, we need to consider how to instantiate those required building blocks. First, we find that batch encryption is already implies a weak HPS with three useful additional structures. Second, the required strata can be constructed from DDH or RWE. And now, we have obtained a KDM circle PKD scheme from weak HPS and strata. However, it is still far away from our desired target optimal information rate. So, let's consider how to improve information rate through further using reusable property and block source setting. First, let us analyze the information rate of our already obtained KDM scheme. In particular, for such a sabotage, we need to consider how to test it. Each information rate is a length of mu over the length of a whole sabotage. Clearly, this rate is equivalent to order one over the security parameter. Here, we use W to denote the output length of strata. That's relationships among the sizes. Next, I first describe the reusable property of the strata and show how to enlarge information rate from it. Generally, the reusable property of strata means that one source can be repeatedly used for many randomness RI for I is children from 1 to T. Even in this case, the output of strata are still indistinguishable from uniform. Through using the reusable version of strata, the sabotage can be related as this one. In this case, the information rate is approaching 1 over R over W plus 1 for sufficient large T. Thus, the information rate in this case is about 1 over constant, which is much better than above 1 or lambda, but still far away from optimal 1. Furthermore, we notice that if we replace the above reusable strata with one in block source setting, we can encrypt many more plant tests in one strata. Here, the strata in the block source setting means that one copy of strata can be repeatedly used for different blocks over 6 key. And 6 key BK consists of a different wire key is used as a block source in the computation of strata. In this case, we notice that the information rate becomes WDT over the whole size of sabotage, which is approaching to WD over R plus WD.  Up until now, we finally get KDM1 security with optimal information rate. In fact, we almost obtain one desired KDM circle PKE scheme, except for two important parameters for KDM security, KDM chain function class and the number of different pairs of public keys. Next, we first focus on the chain function class and then consider the number M bar. In particular, from the several types of different styles of the above analysis, we can easily know its information rate and KDM function classes. The first function class is a function, a fine function from ZB to N to the mass space M. The second function class is generalized affine functions from ZB to N to the mass space M to T. In fact, affine functions are generally enough, since it can be amplified to any bounded size circuit through using garbled circuit. However, when achieving the optimal information rate, we have to set the strict key in block starting. And in this case, the function class is the block affine functions from ZB to N prime times D to M to T times D, where N equals N prime times D. Clearly, the block affine function is weaker than regular beta fine function. So, we need to consider is it possible to further amplify the block affine function class just as done for regular affine function. Next, we consider how to amplify the block affine chain function in the case of optimal information rate. Before this, the most widely used amplification approach is due to upper-bombs work in Eurocopytal 2011. It should be significant and instructive to review upper-bombs approach and has an essential idea. The advantage of upper-bombs approach is that of achieving KTM security for any bounded size circuit. However, it's disadvantage is that of leading to serious loss in information rate. So, it seems that we cannot apply upper-bombs approach directly. This is because block affine function is weaker than the regular affine function, and directly use the view effect that you familiar with of all KTM circuit scheme. So, next, we need to consider the further questions. First, how to amplify block affine functions, and how to achieve optimal information rate. How to bypass this obstacle is all next, folks. But, literally, after analyzing our problems work more deeply, we find his essential idea is to encode the label of double-circuit into mass space, and all schemes satisfy this property. Moreover, we find that due to special structure of all mass space, we can adjust parameters to offset the loss cost by the encoding of double-circuits in the encrypted message. So, for all KTM circuit PKE, we can amplify or block affine function in a preferred way. For many more details, please see our paper. Now, after putting all about the things together, we get KTM 1-circuit PKE for any bounded-size circuit with optimal information rate. Besides, all the used building blocks can be instantiated from DDH-RWA, and the detailed random extractor is also very interesting and can be found in our paper. Here, we have completed our first result. We can achieve KTM 1-circuit PKE with optimal information rate. Next, we consider how to enlarge the number of different public keys. In order to do this, we roughly adopted the following three aspects. Introduce the notion of BE-based PKE and ET, useful property. Second, establish security reduction between KTM 1-security and KTM 1-bar security with respect to block affine function. Third, instantiate BE with reusable property from DDH-RWA. Up until now, we have achieved our second result, KTM 1-bar circuit PKE with information rate. And the detailed construction can be found in our paper. Finally, we consider how to generalize or above the result to IBE setting. In order to do this, we roughly adopted the following four steps. First, introduce a DIN structure for IBE-based WIG-HPS. Second, introduce the new concept of on-the-fly KTM security for PKE. Third, introduce a new compiler for KTM PKE to KTM IBE. Fourth, set a particular KTM challenge function class for IBE such that the information rate to be optimal. The detailed construction can also be found in our paper. Thank you for your attention.
