It's all good. Frenny's having lunch. Want to say hey? No, she doesn't want to say hi. Okay. Anyways, so back to my record station. This is what it looks like. Ta-da! This is the living room. It's a little bit of a mess. But this is the station. This is where all the musical magic happens. When I cook, I like to listen to some vinyl. So today, that's what we're going to do. You're going to listen to Tatsuro Yamashita. It's called Tatsuro Yamashita. Anyway, that accent is pretty good. So yeah, let me show you guys how I kind of set up my vinyl. How I play my music. This is the speakers. This is where you play the records. This is the actual turntable. This is where I like to display the album I'm listening to. This one I actually recently bought. It's kind of old and it's a little bit crusty looking. But it's okay because the music's good. That's all that matters, you know. And like I said, Tatsuro Yamashita. Some good music. If you guys don't know about it, I'm just checking them out. Anyways, so this is all I have to do pretty much. Is I just have to take this and connect. This is basically connecting the speakers to the thingy. Doing this in one hand is pretty much impossible, but I'm going to try for you guys because I love you that much. Okay, it's done. And now, all I have to do is press start. What? Oh yeah, it didn't plug it in. That's embarrassing. There we go, vinyl. It's playing. There she is. I like to keep it in the case. Even though the case is a crack, don't worry you guys. The record is not scratched. This is just the cover. The record is still good. Alright, let's get the cooking. You can hear my record going in the back there. Sorry. It's what we look like. Well, we, just me and you know. The total used. Anyways, it took me a little bit to do my makeup, especially because I tried to put on contacts today. And I don't even think you can... Yeah, can you tell? Oh, now I can tell. And now that I said something, they're like lighter brown. You probably can't even tell in this lighting, but I tried to put some lighter brown contacts in. I'm filming with my iPad you guys, so sorry if it's a little shaky. Bear with me. So now, we're heading to Harajuku. So it's gonna get even better. These are all different sauces. They have like different flavors and stuff. Which is really cool. They said it's to eat because I know I am.  Picture time. Picture time. Look what we've seen. Ta-da! We've got a lot of ice creams. By the way, if you're curious where everyone else went, this is right on that side.  Thank you so much. Thank you for this food.  He's just gonna pray. Amen. So isn't it really nice? Look who showed up. Look who showed up 600 years later. I'm like, oh look, it's nearly two. Wanna show your face? No. Don't want to do that. Amen. It's too late. We've been watching stranger things and now he's six million years late. Six million years. Jesus. We're gonna meet each other later. That's right man. That's right from the latest trends. So Tim's meal came, and now he's about to do the experiment. Go ahead. Why? No, I'm taking my time. Oh my gosh. Why are you drinking it for? He's supposed to make a drink concoction with like these two, but he's just drinking it. Reminding me of this. Why don't you want to do it? It is, it is that sort of like cherry medicine. Ew. I like that way more. I can't, no. You like the medicine? Go ahead. I'm taking his time. I'd laugh if he put the orange in and it tastes really bad. Yeah, it tastes worse. You do that. One, two, three, four. This is us doing a photo shoot. Niki's Shana ordered Tim around with his cool Australian flag. And I mean, it's a pretty hot mess right now. Oh my god, look at this guy. The photographer's done. Oh my gosh. You guys are nothing. The corn's drinking milk from the ceiling. There's also a rabbit drinking milk from the ceiling. Oh, and Emma. Hi, Emma. Hey. Brandy's taking some Instagram pics and look, more bottles from the ceiling. This place is really cool.  What are you doing? A little booth where you can eat and sit. That's not really cool. Blend right in. Thanks. This is the bathroom. Is this not the coolest thing ever? Welcome to the bathroom. Check it out. My iPad matches this door. Guys, this is not awesome. Look at this. This is a chandelier. And there's like these cool bubbles underneath the sink. It's so cool. And then they have some real-esque shows that happen after dark that we're not going to talk about. And the bathrooms, you guys, they have like colored toilet paper and it's just the cutest thing ever. Isn't that awesome? This is such a cute bathroom. This is my dream house bathroom. Oh, hi. Welcome to the bathroom. I know. She chipped on here. I almost fell into the toilet. You're cute. Look, I realize my iPad case matches this door. Amazing. I know, right? It's meant to be. Ta-da. We're all leaving the restaurant now. And we're heading down. I really want to go to Kinji, but we'll see if I actually end up going because, you know, money's. And we're also going to Shimokita. So, yeah. Tim is here. Brandy's here. Why are you taking videos? Niky's here. I'm a YouTube channel.  Yeah, I do. What are you doing? Ta-da. That is amazing. I'm trying. Anyway, we're about to eat it. And Emma has her own here that she got on the side there. I have some. Wow. Those look just as good as ours. Except ours is for me. Exactly. Ours is pretty amazing. These two never used to eat before. It looks like juicy. Looks good. It's what it is. Eat it and you have to tell me what it's like on camera. On camera? Yeah. That's a lot of pressure. Go ahead. We're about to do the fancy Japanese like here, bye. Yeah, do that. No. TV impression. I hate that. I'm going to cook. Yeah? Told you. Brandy, what do you think? I probably make something like this at home. Yeah. Nice. Yeah? Yeah, I mean... 100,000 percent fantastical is what this is. Tastes like home. What do you think, Niky? Yeah? What do you think, Emma? Hush. Thank God. Do not. Do your TV impression. No. Anyways, we're in Shimokita. If you guys are in Shimokita, you want to check out this place. I'm going to film it and show you guys what it looks like from the outside. This is so good, you guys. That we're getting a second one. What are you getting? Still working on it. I'm just getting more. I'm just getting more. I'm just getting more. Oh, out of 10. How much? How good? I don't know. Because nothing ever compares to Canadian. Yeah. But... She's been to Canada, guys. She knows. I love Canada. I wish I could move to Canada. I wish I could move to Canada. I wish I could move to Canada. I wish I could move to Canada. I wish I could move to Canada. I wish I could move to Canada. Please do. I don't want to. Um... This would be like a good eight because it's like... It's not Canada. But it's like... And it's close. It's close. It's almost there. Yeah. Almost there. It's pork in the mouth. Pork in the mouth. No pork in the mouth because she's normal. What? And this guy had his pork in the mouth, but he's trying to be cool, so... See, I finished. I finished texting. Oh, I see. Now he's finished texting. You guys, they gave us a plate and I said, I know what you will take in. Um... Wait, you still need ketchup. Wait, wait. Why? I need ketchup. It looks really gross in it that good. It's like... You're showing some fries. When you look at it, you will come close. It's actually... It's depth. It's depth. I'll grab some fries. If ever you come to Shimo. Link's in the bio. Link's in the bio. Exactly. Not Spons. Not Spons. How much did you rate it out of ten? Not Spons. Me? Yes. We're like nostalgia factor kicking into... I'd say a decent seven or eight. Okay, you don't get this in Japan, so it's... Nostalgia factor's good. How much did you rate it out of ten? Eight. Eight. Nice. Nikki, how much did you rate it out of ten? Eight. Eight. Nice. I think, yeah. You, Nikki, Emma, and well, you know, a very indecisive Tim. Eight. It was good. It was good. It was fantastic. Just walked into the store and look at all of this cool stuff. Look at this. This is guitar pick earrings. Wait, what's this? This is so cute. And they're looking at the watches. Nikki and Tim are back there somewhere. This store is awesome. So the second place you can see... Tim tried on the jacket. Now he's going to want to show us what it looks like, even though it's awesome. I showed you what it looked like. Yeah, okay. Anyways, we're thrifted now. This place is called New York Joe Exchange and it's really awesome. Ta-da. And this place actually used to be a bathhouse. You're going to try on a meat jacket. The floor looks like this. Apparently what? Nikki's going to what now? No. You're not going to try on the meat jacket? Anyways, we're just casual thrifting now. This place is just awesome. It's one of the places that I love to come to. Look at it. Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to hit your face there. Please. We stopped at a donut place. It's good. It's so good. Look at it. It's so fluffy. It's very good. Ew, look at you eating and talking. It is good. Look at her. Her river. Look, she got the one with ice cream on it. He got the regular one. And right now, Frenny's... Oh, that's not Frenny. Frenny. Frenny, you've been replaced. Here's Frenny. She's getting replaced. Peer pressure. Hey. That's really good. If you ever got a peer pressure, this is the place you have a little donut shop. Yeah, this is a good kind of peer pressure. No one's...  It's gross. It's so good. Can we just take a moment to appreciate the little monologue that Emma just had? That was amazing. Give this video a thumbs up if you're a good noodle. So guys, I'm introducing them to vinyl and look who's into it. Ta-da. Yeah, and it's good stuff. Right now, they're listening to this. It sounds like stuff that my dad listened to. It's a group called Reaction and this album is agitated or something. It's so good. They both really like it. It's so... The music is so loud. If you press buttons on these, then you can fix it. And the volume is one of these as well. Reset. You can change the pitch just the way it is. Yeah, you didn't know. There's some 60s hairstyles. Look it. I have this album in Canada. Ta-da. Bam. Some good stuff. All these are 100 yen. Look, it's Tatsuro Yamashita. Good music. All right, everyone's waiting for me. Let's go. I come to Shimokita. I come to the general record store. Thebomb.com. Yeah, China. We're officially all alone. On the Chiyoda line. Just near here. Here's my lovely record. You guys can have a session with Tatsuro. It's a little bit crazy. I realize that today that I think I'm slightly upset. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. But you know, it's fine because I listen to it. So you know, this is not like I'm spending a thousand yen for just... It's not like I'm just spending a thousand yen for like decoration or something. So you know. Time to go home. See ya. Hey guys. So I'm back home now and I thought I would just film like a quick outro to this video because I realized that I didn't do that in the first vlog. And yeah, if you guys enjoyed this video, don't forget to like and subscribe. Our goal is to reach a thousand subscribers by the end of December. So if you guys want to give me a Christmas gift in a way and you guys just don't know what to do, just subscribing is enough for me. I know, right? Isn't that great? It's such an easy Christmas gift. Anyways. Yeah, I'm gonna go to sleep now. Say bye to Rila. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye.


Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Minor Issues Podcast. I'm Mark Thornton at the Mises Institute. Well, the Federal Reserve met and had its press conference this week, and most commentators said it was a nothing meeting where nothing was done, they didn't raise interest rates and so forth, but it actually was in an important sense of what the Fed told us, and essentially the Fed doubled down on its policy. They told us that we're going from the touch-and-go economy of the last three years to a touch-and-go landing economy moving forward. They increased their predictions for the economy, doubling the rate of economic growth that they project for this year, and increasing next year's projection by 50 percent of economic growth. As we all know, the economy has been touch-and-go since the government's COVID deluge of federal spending, of money pumping, and of course the daily emergency broadcasting system from Washington, D.C., during COVID itself, telling us what we must do and what jobs must be taken offline, we must wear masks and so forth. Fortunately, we're over that, but we've been in this pins-and-needles economy ever since, so touch-and-go to you and me means that something is very uncertain, something is very unsure, or dubious, there's a great deal of caution associated with an uncertainty about anything that is touch-and-go, and so since the COVID deluge, a lot of that continues today. We went through the period of shortages where basic necessities, auto parts, toilet paper, and so forth were not on the shelves, and then we faced the inflationary price spiral from the Federal Reserve's monetary policy that has increased prices for goods across the economy, and leaves many of us wondering what's next. Fortunately, the Fed's inflation, which is seeing prices rise about 20% since that COVID onslaught, whereas if you look at the previous time period equivalent, it was only about 6%. So, prices have been increasing because of the Federal Reserve at triple the traditional rate, and then of course in more recent times, we've been under the Federal Reserve threat of its monetary policy, where it's promised to increase interest rates and mortgage rates, credit card rates, and so forth, and increase the unemployment rate. Since March of 2022, it's raised its interest rates from 0.08% to about 5.33%, and any time you raise something from near zero, it's going to be a big increase, and in this case, the percentage increase is 6,660% since March of 2022. We all expected a hard landing almost immediately, that didn't materialize, and basically as a result of that increase in interest rate policy, we haven't seen a dramatic decline in jobs just yet, and so then there's all sorts of talks about a soft landing where the Federal Reserve pulls its dials and adjusts its policy to bring the economy right back down nice and easy to a soft landing. Yesterday's announcements and new projections about GDP growth for this year and next year tell me that the Fed is predicting and it's forecasting and it's trying to provide confidence for all of us in the economy moving forward, upping this year's growth rate by 100%, upping next year's growth rate by 50%, so that we now are being told a story of a touch and go landing. Not a hard landing, not a soft landing, but a touch and go landing. Some of you may be aware that sometimes planes come in, touch the runway, and then gun their engines and full throttle to take off up into the sky. It's something that pilots use to practice land, get more practice runs in on a given time period, saving fuel and so forth. Of course, it's also used in emergencies. If a plane is landing and something's on the runway, it has to push its engines and take off again at a moment's notice. And then of course, it's very common with aircraft carriers where those pilots train for that sort of thing on a regular basis. In fact, I think something similar existed back in the Roman Empire. This is not a sure thing. This is an attempt on the Federal Reserve to give us confidence in its ability to manage the economy. So I would not buy their story and their projections, hook, line and sinker. The Fed is constantly in its history been one where they don't talk about the negative aspects of the economy unless they're forced to, and that they're always trying to project an image of confidence in their own ability. And as we've seen, a lot of people have already been hurt by their previous projections and forecast and confidence boosting press conferences.


the design of slab base, we will see the design procedure as well as we will see one example, so how to design our slab base. If you want to see the theoretical background of the slab base, we have I have another video on this, so you can refer that video for the theoretical background of the slab base. Learning outcome of the is that at the end of the session students will be able to design the slab base. We have discussed all these procedure in our previous videos, just now I will just we will take that and overview all step overview of the steps. You can find all these steps in my previous videos also previous video also. First of all we will assume our grade of concrete then we will find out the bearing strength of concrete which is equal to 0.45 fck, we get the value of bearing strength of concrete which is a stress bearing stress bearing strength, now we will get the value of area which is equal to p divided by the bearing strength of concrete this is 0.45 fck, so load from column divided by the bearing strength of concrete will get the required area. These are the various projections of the slab base length width depth of column longer projection smaller projection design procedure. If we assume the square base plate we will find out the value of l and b which is equal to under root a and b to achieve economy we will keep both the projections equal and we will find out the value of a which is equal to b by this equation d plus 2b into bf plus 2a which is equal to a we will find out a and b by this equation. Now intensity of pressure w can be find out by p divided by a1 where a1 is the area of the base plate provided in mm what actually we are providing is a1, now the minimum thickness of the slab base is calculated from equation number 6 it should not be less than the thickness of the column flange. Then nominal we are providing holding down bolts which are 2 or 4 in numbers of 20 mm when we are when the base plate is subjected only to the axial compressive load will provide only 2 bolts will be it will be enough we will see one example the question is design a slab base for a column section is hb 350 at 710.2 Newton per meter subjected to an factored axial compressive load of 150 kilo Newton load is transferred to the base plate by direct bearing of column flanges the base rest on concrete pedestal of grade m20. And solution is first of all we will assume grade of steel which is equal to Fe410 and for Fe410 Fe which is equal to ultimate capacity of the steel which is equal to 410 mega Pascal yield strength equal to 250 mega Pascal and for m20 grade concrete bearing strength of concrete as per code is equal to 0.45 fck which is equal to 9 Newton per mm square. As per is 800 2007 the partial safety factor for material is equal to 1.1 and for weld it is equal to 1.25 for shop welding. Now from is handbook we will take down the properties that is properties of is hb 350 thickness of flange tf is equal to 11.6 mm thickness of web tw is equal to 10.1 mm depth of section 350 mm width of flange bf equal to 250 mm square. Now first of all we will calculate the area of the slab base a is equal to load in Newton divided by the bearing pressure in Newton per mm square we will get the value in mm square we will convert it into meter square. And let us provide a rectangular base plate of length of size l by b and we will assume a equal to b equal overhang. Now we have to find out this overhang we have got this value area of the base plate then we will get l from our handbook 350 that is the depth of column plus 2 a is unknown we are going to find this a multiplied by b is the width of flange 250 and we assume a equal to b so a equal to 55.24 mm we will round off it to 60 mm and we will get length as 470 mm and width as 370 mm. Now the bearing pressure of concrete is determined by w is equal to p by a1 which is equal to 150 multiplied by 1000 and actual area what we have provided. Now the value comes out to be 8.62 Newton per mm square which is less than 9 Newton per mm square which is alright. Okay what is mean by this 9 what is 9 we have given the grade of concrete as 20 Newton per mm square and for 20 Newton per mm square the bearing strength of concrete comes out to be 9 Newton per mm square which is equal to 0.45 fck 0.45 into 20 which is equal to 9 Newton per mm square which is greater than 8.62 so it is safe. Now to find out the thickness T s which is equal to under root 2.5 w into a square minus 0.3 b square into gamma m naught upon f y this equation w is the bearing pressure 8.62 is the smaller projection b is the longer projection but here in case we have kept the projections equal 60 and 60 gamma m naught 1.1 f y 250. So 2.5 8.62 60 0.3 60 1.1 250 the thickness comes out to be 15.458 mm we will provide it as 16 mm. First of all we have seen that clause it should be greater than the thickness of flange. Now what is the thickness of flange for I s H b 350 11.6 greater than thickness of flange therefore safe. Hence provide a base plate of 470 by 370 by 16 mm size here I have provided a 470 by 370 60 60 I have provided 2 volts of 20 mm y you will see here. In the question we have given the load is transferred to the base plate by direct bearing. This implies that the column end and base plate have been machined for perfect bearing. Direct bearing we have taken perfect bearing. Also we have not given any bending moment in the question therefore connection of the column with base need not be designed. However to keep the column in position we need some cleat angles. So we will provide 2 cleat angles of nominal size 55 by 55 by 8 you can take another size also it is a nominal size 55 by 55 by 8 is provided for connecting the column flanges with the base plate as shown in the given figure this is the cleat angle. We are providing we have to connect this flange to the base plate by the help of this cleat angle. We are provided with 2 volts of 20 mm size. Now if there are some review question you can pause the video and answer these questions. The very first question is the bearing strength for M25 grade of concrete is just now we have seen for M20 grade concrete now we have to say what is the bearing strength of concrete for M25 grade of concrete. And next question is calculate the area required for the slab base to carry an axial compressive load of 1000 kilo Newton we take grade of concrete as M20. So you have to calculate the area these are the answers the bearing strength of concrete for M25 grade is equal to 11.25 Newton per square how it comes which is equal to 0.45 fck 0.45 into 25 area is nothing but load divided by 0.45 fck. So load is 1000 into 1000 divided by 0.45 into 20 we will get it as 0.1111 meter square these are my references thank you.


So Larry said, I went out of town this past weekend and stayed at a hotel that I had stayed at many times over the years. This time I took my 14 inch MacBook Pro M3 and instead of my 10.9 inch iPad Pro, I also took two iPhones. The first thing I do when I get to the room is to connect my iPhones and iPad to the hotel Wi-Fi, usually with no problems. This time I had no problems with the iPhones, but lots of problems with the MacBook Pro. The procedure is to connect the phone or the MacBook Pro to the Wi-Fi and the webpage opens in the browser for me to accept the service. Everything went well with the iPhones, but not on the laptop. When I enabled the Wi-Fi, I did not get a browser page asking for me to accept the service. Instead I got nothing but a note on the Wi-Fi page saying the Wi-Fi was unsecured and the MacBook Pro did indicate that the computer was connected to Wi-Fi, but when I tried to access the webpage, I got a notice that I was not connected to the internet. I tried everything I could think of to no avail. I rebooted a couple of times into safe mode, no change, I removed all the extensions from my browser, Firefox with no change, changed browsers to Safari and Chrome, still no internet. I'm at a loss as to what I need to change. I'm running macOS 14.4.1 with 16GB of memory, 512GB SSD, and I have connected to a local community Wi-Fi with no password with no problems. This is the first time I've taken this MacBook Pro on a trip and tried to use it in place of my iPad. Any suggestions to help would be very much appreciated. I have not contacted Apple Support yet in the hopes that one of you fine podcasters will have the answer. Dave, I think you have the answer. I could be wrong. Well, I don't know if I have the specific answer for Larry, but I know what I would do if I were in Larry's shoes, which is sort of my default. It's our default way of approaching your questions when they come in. If we know the specific answer, we'll answer it, but otherwise it's, here's what I would do next if I were there. So oftentimes this happens because as soon as your computer starts to connect to the internet, as soon as it realizes it has an IP address, it starts trying to load all of the things that it needs on the internet, and that includes your mail, whatever, apps are open, whatever things are running in the background, includes your browser too. Every web page these days is secured. We see HTTPS, we see the little lock in the URL bar, and when you visit one of these captive portal pages for the hotel, the way the hotel delivers that to you is it sees that you're trying to load another web page, and then it redirects that page. It says, no, I'm going to hijack this lookup for this page and show you my captive portal page instead. In a sense, that's what we want to have happen. We normally, we don't like it when our browser stuff is hijacked, but in these scenarios, that's what needs to happen. And the nice part about this is this way you don't need to know what the magic URL is to load the hotel's captive portal page because it's going to be, you know, it might even just be at an IP address slash, you know, whatever. Like you don't know. So this hijacking auto redirects you to the hotel's page and you don't need to know it just says, oh, I'm going to take you there. Great. The problem is your browser, it doesn't like it when a secure page is hijacked because it sees the security certificate doesn't match with where you have been brought and it stops. And that's the end of that. You get a nice blank page. You sometimes, or you get the, or no page, or you get the warning that, you know, the, it's unsecure or whatever, right. And so the way to get around this is to ensure that you load a non-secure page. If in fact, that's the problem. And this might not have been Larry's problem. We'll talk about other reasons that this might happen too. But if in fact, this was Larry's problem, the way you get around it is you load a page that's not HTTPS. Of course, none of the places that we visit are HTTP anymore. Everybody's using HTTPS and that's a good thing. So I always type never SSL.com into my browser toolbar. And as you might guess by the name of the website, it is never SSL. That means it's never HTTPS. It's never secure. It's always sent in the clear. And therefore your browser is okay redirecting to whatever the captive portal on the hotel on the plane, all of those things. So that, that would be step one for me is to visit never SSL.com. And it is always going to be HTTP colon slash slash never SSL.com. It's, it's never HTTPS and, and Apple tries to do this in the background too, right? They have, is it captive.apple.com to either of you know what the, okay. I remember that. Yes. Yeah. PJ put it in the discord. Ah, there it is. Yep. Yeah. So if you remember captive.apple.com that also would work. Yeah, exactly. I, I think never SSL predates it or at least in my memory, it was the first thing baked in there. So that's, that's what I type and it's easy to remember because it's never SSL. So that's one way.


Welcome to NTN Nightly. I am Genelle Norville. This edition stops stories. The US government extends assistance to select the units of the RSLPF. The OECS commemorates its 40th anniversary with a flag-raising ceremony. And the division of human services celebrates St. Lucia's latest centenarian. Commencing the 18th of June 2021, the US government will be extending assistance to select units within the Royal St. Lucia Police Force RSLPF. The force has been excluded from receiving US assistance since the imposition of the Lehi law in 2013 due to the alleged extra-judicial killings of 12 individuals by members of the police force. The Lehi law prohibits US-funded assistance to units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violation of human rights. US Ambassador to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, Linda Tagliallatella, speaking at a press conference on Friday, explained that the US government will now be lending aid to select units within the force. After years of review that included consultations across the United States government agencies as well as coordination with St. Lucia, we have been able to identify a number of Royal St. Lucia Police Force units with which we will be able to resume full cooperation and assistance. This means that those units such as the Marine and Immigration Units will again be able to enjoy the full benefits of United States security assistance that we are planning to begin as we speak. These units will be eligible for security assistance like that provided through the United States Caribbean Basin Security Initiative. This initiative seeks to reduce illicit trafficking in the region, advance public safety and promote social justice. Some St. Lucia security units may also benefit from other security assistance programs such as the professional military educational and technical training courses provided through the United States Department of Defense, state partnership program exchanges with the Florida and the United States Virgin Islands National Guards and regular maritime maintenance support through the United States Southern Commands technical assistance and field teams. This is only the first step. We look forward to continuing to expand our cooperation and engagement. The important part of this process is to ensure full accountability and allegations of extradition killings. Prime Minister the Honourable Alan Shasne welcomed the decision by the U.S. Government highlighted how this extension of aid will assist security forces in St. Lucia. The Prime Minister explained that the Government of St. Lucia continues to work assiduously to ensure the complete removal of the Leahy Law. Access to the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative and other programming of the U.S. Government Security Agencies including Southern Command will allow for amongst other things the effective rollout of the Border Security Agency that is being established. Fundamentally the revision of the blanket policy that denied our law enforcement personal access to U.S. funded training is welcomed and this is a step in the right direction. This administration will continue to provide all the support necessary to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution which is in charge with investigations into the allegations of wrongdoing. We're also committed to providing all the necessary support to our law enforcement professionals charged with keeping us all safe. Commissioner Police Milton Daisy expressing gratitude to the U.S. Government indicated that this support will aid immensely in the RSLPS fight against crime.

Commissioner Police Milton Daisy speaking there. Meantime the organization of Eastern Caribbean States OECS is celebrating for decades of advancing regional integration in the Eastern Caribbean region. As part of activities to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the original signing of the Treaty of Baste the Government of St. Lucia held its OECS flag raise in ceremony. Jesse Leos reports. The Government of St. Lucia reaffirms its support and firm commitment to OECS integration as the organization of Eastern Caribbean States celebrates OECS Day Friday 18th June 2021. This year marks 40 years since the signing of the original Treaty of Baste which established the organization. The treaty was initially signed by seven member states namely Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Monstrat, St. Kitzeneva, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Since then four associate member states have joined the organization namely Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, Martinique and Guadeloupe. In St. Lucia the regional integration unit in the office of the Prime Minister coordinates and harmonizes the efforts of all sectors in order to facilitate the function of single economic space within the OECS and CARICOM as mandated by their respective treaties. The unit joins in commemoration of the 40 year regional milestone by hosting the flag raising ceremony on OECS Day. Government minister responsible for external affairs Honourable Sarah Floodbobra pledges St. Lucia's continued devotion to the mandate of the Treaty of Bastear. The socio-economic ravages of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing struggle for vaccine procurement and equity bring into sharp focus the dangers of insularity and the power of regionalism. For four decades the OECS has acted on the mandate to foster solidarity and facilitate the highest degree of integration possible among member states. As we celebrate OECS Day today the Government of St. Lucia reaffirms our support and firm commitment to OECS integration. Today we pay homage, we celebrate our boldness and we celebrate our success. We hoist the OECS flag to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the OECS. The member states of the OECS are unified through joint policy and action in several key sectors including external transportation and civil aviation management facilitated by the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority, external relations and overseas representation achieved through joint representation in Brussels, Morocco, Geneva and Canada, telecommunications regulated by the Eastern Caribbean Telecommunications Authority, currency and central banking through the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union and the Judiciary and Administration of Justice affected through the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. Chief Justice Her Ladyship Honourable Dame Justice Janice Pereira was on hand to deliver remarks at the flag-raising ceremony. As the third pillar of government, the judiciary of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court plays a critical role in ensuring that the social and economic fabric of those member states and territories spanning the Court's jurisdiction remain protected through the rule of law. The protection of the law and equality before the law are fundamental to a well-ordered and civilized society. I have no doubt that the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court is wedded to its mandate of ensuring the observance of these precepts and will continue to support the continued growth and development of the region for many decades to come. As Chief Justice, I pray for the OECS's continued success in achieving its mandate. It cannot be over-emphasized that the move towards greater integration of our region continues to present immense opportunities for growth and prosperity for the region. The flag-raising ceremony was held at the Graham-Louisey Administrative Building Parking Lot on the Waterfront castries on 18 June 2021. Other activities in St. Lucia to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the OECS establishment include OECS Colors Day, where the public is encouraged to dress in the OECS colors that is green, dark blue, yellow and white in an effort to engender the regional identity in citizens and to encourage persons to take part in the development of regional integration. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Leons reporting. 29 participants from 14 health and social agencies in St. Lucia have benefitted from a PAHO WHO-sponsored virtual workshop on treating tobacco dependence. The workshop is the first component of the project, which will lead to training of additional personnel locally and the service provision to persons seeking help to quit use of tobacco products held over a two-day period. It brought together contributors from the PAHO WHO in the United States, Switzerland and the Caribbean. Regional advisor for tobacco control of PAHO, Dr. Francisco Armada Perez, reiterated the rationale for the workshop. Tobacco cessation is an important component of tobacco control. Article 14 of the Framework Convention of Tobacco Control mandates each party to establish in healthcare facilities and rehabilitation centres programmes for diagnosing, counselling, preventing and treating tobacco dependence among several other measures concerning tobacco dependency and cessation. The benefits of tobacco cessation have been amply supported by evidence. And this includes improved health in those who quit and similar gains for their families. It has been estimated that 60% of the world's 1.3 billion tobacco users have expressed a desire to quit, but only 33% have access to the tools to help them do so. Minister for Health and Wellness, Senator the Honourable Mary Isaac, who addressed the opening ceremony, explained how the workshop could help bridge this gap locally. We will strengthen our capacity to assist those who need help to quit the use of tobacco. We know this process can be very challenging for those who are motivated, but nicotine addiction often thoughts the efforts of those willing to quit. This initiative adds another critical achievement in the broader tobacco control efforts of the Department of Health and other stakeholders. The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control was unanimously adopted in 2003. St Lucia was one of the first countries in the OACS to implement a tobacco cessation program. 182 countries have signed on to the convention covering more than 90% of the world's population. For the Ministry of Health and Wellness, I'm Jacques Hingson Compton. The Division of Human Services celebrates St Lucia's latest centenarian in the person of Miss Julian Murray Maynard. Hermadi Mark provide some insight into the life of Miss Julian 100 years strong. Birthdays often called for celebration as they signal the growth and advancement of an individual not only in age but in life. On the extraordinary occasion of 100th birthday, the island's latest centenarian, Julian Murray Maynard received a special visit from the Division of Human Services. The aim was to pay homage to Julian as she achieved a feat that many have been unable to. At a small celebration of her birthday, the Division of Human Services presented Julian with tokens of appreciation. Andrea Alsid is a case worker in the elder care unit of the Division of Human Services. On behalf of the government and people of St Lucia, we want to wish you happy 100th birthday. We're very grateful to be celebrating this day with you. And we hope that you are happy to reach that milestone. So again on behalf of the government and people of St Lucia, we want to say happy birthday to you. Julian Murray Maynard still very much a vivacious spirit spent most of her life catering to others as a wife, mother and homemaker. She birthed a daughter and a son and is fortunate to see three generations which currently consists of seven grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. She continues to be the matriarch of the family. To the youth, she encourages them to heed the counsel of their elders. Despite her accomplishment, Julian says she did not expect to become one of the Alan Centenarians. We wish you happy birthday. May you be the best mother and daughter of St Lucia. May you continue to be the mother and daughter of St Lucia. May you be the wonderful homemaker. May your parents be the only ones who can give you a daughter. May your mom and your brother be the family members on your side. May your mom and your brother be the family members on your side. May God help you and your brother-in-law.

Terse Masters International has an update to the brand manual and one of the coolest updates to the branding guidelines is the gradients. In this video, I'm going to show you how to use this gradients effectively in Canva. So let's get started. The new brand guidelines supports two type of gradients. The two tone gradient as you can see from the top where we have a dark color on one side and the light color on the other side. It could be from top to bottom or from bottom to top, left to right and so forth. And then we have the three tone gradients where we have dark colors on either side and the light color in the middle. Let me start by creating a new design in Canva. I'll click on create design. I want to create a Facebook post. So let me search for Facebook. This dimensions for a Facebook post and click to add a gradient to our design. We go to elements, select graphics and gradients. Canva comes with a wide range of gradients, but most of these gradients are of fixed colors. If I select for example this gradient, I'm unable to change the color of this gradient which means I can't use it in a Toastmaster design. Let me remove that. There are a few gradients that allow us to change the color of the gradient. For example, this one, which is a square gradient. If I select this gradient, we can see that it allows us to change the two colors of the gradient, which means this is a perfect gradient to be used for the two tone gradients of Toastmasters. Let's say I want to make this gradient as a maroon gradient. If I go to the brand manual, we can see that the two colors are 3B0104 for the darker color and 781327 for the lighter color. To change the color of this gradient, select the first color, type the color code 3B0104, click OK. To change the second color, click here, type the second code which is 781327 and we have a gradient. Move it to the corner, resize it. Because it's a square gradient, I'll have to increase the size to fill up the entire frame and our gradient is done. To ensure that the gradient stays in one place as you complete your design, click on the gradient and click lock. This ensures that the gradient doesn't move around while you are placing other objects on this design. If you want to remove the gradient, first click unlock. Now we can move the gradient around, change its position or if you don't want the gradient, click on the delete key to remove it from the design. If you want to change the orientation of the colors, for example, instead of from left to right, you want it from top to bottom, position the mouse on this handle and rotate the object in whichever direction you want. For example, from top to bottom or from right to left or from bottom to top. Pretty cool. But what about this three tone gradient? How do we get that in Canva? There is one element in Canva called the tricolor gradient. Let's see what happens when I use this gradient in my design. As we can see, it allows us to change the three colors of this gradient. Let me try to replicate this gradient where we have 004165 on either side of the gradient and 006094 in the middle. Let me go to Canva, select the first color, change to 004165, click this, select the third color, also it has to be the same one. And for the middle color, let me type 006094, take it to the corner, resize it. The only problem that I have found with this gradient is this almost white line that appears in the middle of your design. I'm not sure whether you will find it acceptable, but I find it very distracting. So what's my solution? I've created a set of gradient image files and you can download all of these images from the link in the video description. For example, when I'm creating a design for A4, I can use this gradient file which is available as a PNG file. Let me show you how to do that. When I'm creating a design for Instagram post, I have a matching image file with the same dimensions which is 1080 pixels by 1080 pixels. All I have to do is click on upload. Next click on upload media from the device. Navigate to the folder that has the image files. Select the right image. In this case, the Instagram loyal blue PNG. Click open and drag and drop it into your design. Now you have a perfect gradient of three tones of blue.  Just a quick look at how you can implement gradients in your Canva designs for creating Toastmaster brand compliant content. Have fun!


Be really careful, don't lose your salvation. But wait a minute, if I could lose my salvation, I would.  I was dead in my trespasses and sins, and God made me alive to him. The Holy Spirit is inside of me. My heart of stone has been transformed into a heart of flesh. I was a child of wrath, rebelling against God, but now I am saved and I'm a child of God. Why would I be so boastful to assume that I can reverse what God has done in me? Yes, the Bible says to examine yourself to see if you are in the faith. Are you bearing fruit in keeping with repentance? But don't for a second think that it is by your faithfulness that you're saved. It is by God's grace alone that you remain in his family. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of your own doing. It is a gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Hi everyone, Joe for JaspysCaseBrace.com, coming at you with 2021 Panini Zenith Football. Half case, six boxes, half case, random team break number one. There's only six cards, a pack here, a box, so all cards are going to ship even though it doesn't say that. Big thanks to this group here, thanks to the people who bought their spot straight up, and then congrats again to the people who won their spots. All 32 football teams are in. Let's go. Let's roll it. The teams, two and a three, five times each, one, two, three, four, and fifth and final time. Yeah, probably Ralph. After five times, we've got Tyler down to Tim, two and a three, five times, four. The teams, one, two, three, four, and fifth and final time. We've got the Bears down to the Vikings after five, and at the end, we'll do another dice roll for those two Super Bowl square spots. All right, Tyler with the Bears, Derek with the Eagles, Charles with the Washington Commanders now. They call them the Commanders.  It's alphabetized by a team, and Charles has the Washington Commanders up for trade. While you're thinking about trades, I'll flip back to the screen in just a second. Let's go to the case really quick. Here it is, 2021, Zedith football, we're doing half a case, so let's pop this box open. All right, so we've got six boxes on the left side, and six boxes on the right side.  We'll go one, two, three for the left side, and four, five, six for the right side. Two, so we'll go left side right here. This we will save for next time, and we'll put those X's right there so you know that they're from the same case. All right, let's set those aside right here. All right, we're going to pause the video and allow for some trading time. When we come back, we'll see if there's any trades, then we'll have the break. Stick around, be right back. All right, welcome back. No deals were done here on a Thursday night, here in this Zedith football. Yeah, I think this is the, Tyler was asking, is this Zedith year new? No, I think it debuted, Zedith football, anyway debuted last year, I want to say. Was there a 2020 Zedith? Rex is saying it should be a baseball product back in the 90s. All right, here it is. Six cards per box, two autographs, and a memorabilia card per box, on average in small print. So let's see what we got. Good luck. I think we've seen, we've done these in mixers many a time as well, so I need different top-loaders for this. Here's a Tray Lance rookie card. Tray Lance wanted to hit the bell. Five, two, three, and seventy-fives. I don't care about who's in the game. I don't care it's Karim or Mads as well. If you've gone a double, double.  Why don't you come double if you're not going to double? We're going to turn this over, there's home guard somewhere, I need to show you. But don't come, but I'm fair to say, if you've gone double, double. Don't just come down there and run through the white. If all I'm saying is get the double. Do have fifty-five, sorry. Alright. Sorry about that. Back on track. There's Tray Lance. He's going to be taking over. Should be taking over next year. Steve Wright. Alright. Sorry about that. Back on track. There's Tray Lance. He's going to be taking over. Should be taking over next year. Steve Wright. Should be taking over next year. Steve Wright. We've got his teammate George Kittle. Nine out of ten. And behind TJ Watt is a triple relic. Team Summit. Forty-eight out of fifty. That's pretty cool. I like the sort of refractoriness, that sort of sheen on top. So obviously those three will go to Seattle. Derek. Robbie Wagner. It's a pretty cool looking card. We have a Davis Mills Rookie Autograph 249. Our second half in the store. Jaspy'scasebreaks.com. Texans. That's going to be for Derek Melanson. And the last one here is Dual Relic and Autograph Ron Dale Moore. Thirty-six out of fifty. Rookie Patch Autographs. RPA going to Fuad. I'll tell you guys before I start this break. If you're watching live, that Daunris Hangerbox break which will actually fill one of those Super Bowl Mixer Fillers. Nick took six spots out of there. So whatever thirty-two minus six is, the people who buy full spots are going to randomize those names. And the top six will get extra spots. You can get two for the price of one. Now does Kyle Trask, is he the answer? Tambra Bay. He's not there. It's possible. This is for the Buccaneers. This will be for Jason. He is. That card may go up in value. There's Justin Field to ninety-nine. That looks like an epics card here. Behind Jalen Hertz is Juju Smith-Schuster. Chase Claypool and Deontay Johnson to one forty-nine.

No, I thought she was like mid-nineties. Early nineties. Low nineties. Zach Wilson. Rookie for the Jets. Hopefully he takes the next step this season. We've got Quinn and Williams teammate to forty-nine. Both of those will go to Nico and the Jets. And behind CD Lamb, Nick Chubb. Z Jersey's. Four out of ten. Cleveland! This is for you! Mark Raub with the Cleveland Rounds. And we got Michael Carter. Two out of five. I feel like he showed some moments. Maybe he'll have some more moments next year. What's that lettering on the top? Well, it says artist-proof on the top. Artist-proof autograph. Two out of five. Jets. Nico with the Jets. Nico. All aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo! And behind CD Lamb is Amir Smith Marcette. Jersey and autograph. One ninety-six out of one at ninety-nine. Vikings, that'll be for Tim. The return of epics. Rex, you're turning forty-five in less than six hours. Happy birthday! We've got Christian McCaffrey. And we've got Team Pinnacle. Trey Lance. I think Rex was mentioning earlier that maybe it used to be Pinnacle. Zenith. Oh, Justin Fields on the other side. So that's a randomizer between the Niners and the Bears. Niners, that's Steve Wright, Bears. Tyler. We'll do a front-back randomizer on that in case there's any others that are like that.

Twenty-five out of twenty-five. Artist-proof Rookie Autograph for Nico and the Steelers. And then we got Amir Smith, Marseille Triple Relic, an autograph. That's twenty-one out of twenty-five. Nice low number on that RPA for Tim Tyler and the Vikings. And the last box. There's that yellow background on that autograph. There's Kyle Trask. We got Ariel Jalen-Hertz. That's a cool looking insert, too. There's Justin Simmons. Z-Jeriziz. 009 out of 149. Denver. Raymond with the Broncos. I'm going to skip that middle card right here. Go directly to the Mack Jones Quad Relic and Autograph. Maybe I went to that too soon. One out of ten. That's for Arthur Hackett and the Patriots. Nice low number. He had a really solid season. So then what was here? Another Patriot. That's a Devin McCordy High Point Signatures. 176 out of 199. So two Patriots for Arthur in the very last box. Nice. So there you have it. Let's do the Niner's Bears Randomizer. There were no other cards of that nature. So let's go back to random.org. So San Francisco is on the front. Chicago is on the back. And this is a Super Bowl Squares Promo. Two Super Bowl Squares being given away. So let's gather everybody's names from top to bottom. And we'll use one dice to randomize both lists. Three times.

Hello, a very good evening to all of our friends and welcome to the Hindu News Analysis of Shankar IAS Academy for the date 7th March 2021. Before we begin our news analysis, we would like to inform you that Shankar IAS Academy is starting a new exclusive batch under the Prefit Program. And this batch will start from 22nd March 2021. See, we are starting another fresh batch under the Prefit Program because of the numerous requests which we have received after the launch of the Prefit Batch 1, which started from February 15, 2021. And batch 1 will conclude by 16th May 2021. Now with respect to the new batch, the Academy is conducting free entrance exam on 14th March 2021, that is on next Sunday. And the syllabus for this entrance exam will be the UPSC civil service preliminary syllabus for general studies and CSAT. Know that it is a free entrance exam, but the registration is mandatory. Students who secure top 100 ranks in the entrance exam will be eligible for subsidized fee structure of 800 rupees plus GST per month. And for other students, that is, for the students who found it challenging to come up in the top 100 ranks and for the direct admissions, the fee structure will be 1600 rupees plus GST per month. Now, one important modification that we have made for this new batch is that longer daily test window is available. That is, in this batch, students can take daily tests in the 4-hour time frame from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Numerous working professionals who are aspirants have requested for such extended time window. And therefore, to accommodate varied circumstances of the aspirants in taking daily tests, this extended time window is available under this new batch. The links for the detailed brochure, plan summary and also the schedule are available in the description box and also in the comment section. Now, with this information, let us start our news analysis for today. The list of the relevant news articles taken for today's discussion from five different editions of The Hindu newspaper along with their page numbers are given here for your reference. Also, the handwritten notes in the PDF format and time stampings for all the news articles taken for today's discussion is given in the description box and also in the comment section for the best interest of the viewers. Let us now start with our first news article. Now, as per this news article, the Union Minister of State for Finance has said that the government is open to evaluate and explore new technologies under the crypto currencies and this is for improving the governance. And in this regard, recently the high-level Interministerial Committee under the Economic Affairs Secretary on digital currencies has submitted its report. The minister says that based on the recommendations, a legislative proposal would be introduced in the parliament. And remember, recently, the RBI governor has reached some concerns about the impact of cryptocurrencies on the financial stability in the economy. And as we know, the RBI had banned cryptocurrency trading in 2018, but the Supreme Court struck down these and asked the center to frame policies for cryptocurrency. So, in this context, let us discuss in brief about cryptocurrencies and the blockchain technology. The syllabus relevant for this analysis is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. See, cryptocurrency is a digital money and that means there is no physical coin or bill and it's online. One can transfer cryptocurrency to someone online without an intermediator like a bank. And you might have heard about Bitcoin and other their well-known cryptocurrencies and new cryptocurrencies continue to be created. And it is to be noted that some people use cryptocurrencies for quick payments and to avoid transaction fees. And some might get cryptocurrencies as an investment hoping that the value goes up. So, we can say that cryptocurrencies have no legislated or intrinsic value. They are simply worth what people are willing to pay for them in the market. And this is in contrast to national currencies which get the part of their value from being legislated as a legal tender. And recently, activities in cryptocurrency markets has increased significantly and prices of cryptocurrencies have also risen rapidly. So, the fascination with these currencies appear to have been more speculative than related to their use as a new and unique system for making payments. And related to this, there has also been a high degree of volatility in the prices of many cryptocurrencies. For example, the price of Bitcoin increased from around US$1,000 at the start of 2017 to around US$20,000 at the end of 2017 before falling to around US$7,000 in early 2018. Another reason for the extraordinary interest in cryptocurrencies is also due to the growing amount of computing power which is used to ensure that the system is not corrupted. Now, to understand how a Bitcoin transaction works, have a look at this figure. Know that Bitcoin system uses blockchain technology to record transactions and also the ownership of Bitcoins. And this technology connects groups of transactions called blocks together over time in a chain. And each time a transaction occurs, it forms part of a new block that is added to the chain. Now know that blockchain is seen as a technology with the potential to transform almost all industries and economies. It is estimated that blockchain could generate US$3 trillion per year in business value by 2030. The World Economic Forum anticipates that 10% of the global GDP will be stored on blockchain by 2025. And in this regard, WEF also lists blockchain as one of the seven technologies that are anticipated to revolutionize various aspects of our life. Know that blockchain is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack or cheat the system. A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems operating on the blockchain. And each block in the chain contains a number of transactions and every time a new transaction occurs on the blockchain, a record of that transaction is added to every participant's ledger. The decentralized database which is managed by multiple participants is known as distributed ledger technology or DLT. Blockchain is a type of DLT in which transactions are recorded with an immutable cryptographic signature which is called as a hash. So this is about cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. So with this information, let us move on to the next news. And now this news article talks about the slowing of Gulfstream. See, Gulfstream is an ocean current. So today, let us discuss in detail about ocean currents, their formation, then important ocean currents of the world, their effects, impacts, etc. The relevant syllabus is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. First, what is an ocean current? See, a current is a steady predictable movement of a fluid within a larger body of that fluid. So what is an ocean current? See, ocean water moves in two directions, namely horizontally and vertically. The horizontal movements are referred to as currents and the ocean has an interconnected current or circulation. And the vertical changes are called as upwellings or downwellings. See, ocean currents are like river flow in oceans and they represent a regular volume of a great stream of water in a definite path and direction. Thus, ocean currents are the continuous predictable directional movement of sea water. And this movement is driven by some primary forces which include heating by the solar energy, gravity, wind, Coriolis effect that is Earth's rotation and the water density. So now let us see how these primary forces act with each other to create a current. First is heating by the solar energy. See, this causes the water to expand. So the ocean water near the equator is about 8 cm higher in level than in the middle latitudes. And this causes a very slight gradient or slope and the water tends to flow down the slope. Now here comes the second force of wind. See, the wind blowing on the surface of the ocean pushes the water to move. And this friction between the wind and the water surface affects the movement of the water body in its course. Then gravity plays its role of pulling the water down the pile and creating gradient variations. Here the Coriolis force or Coriolis effect intervenes. It causes the water to move to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. So this movement is the ocean current. In other words, the Coriolis effect sets the current flowing clockwise in a circular pattern in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. Now what is the role of the water density? See, differences in the water density affects the vertical mobility of ocean currents. And this water density itself is affected by many factors like the temperature of the water, the salinity or saltiness and also the depth of the water. Here we should know that the water with high salinity is denser than the water with low salinity. Further, cold water is denser than warm water. So denser water tends to sink while the relatively lighter water tends to rise. And this brings variations in the ocean currents as some are cold water ocean currents and some are warm water ocean currents. So this is the classification of ocean currents based on temperature. Now cold water ocean currents occur when the cold water at the poles sink because we saw that cold water is denser and this ocean water slowly moves towards the equator. So cold current brings cold water into the warm water areas. In the same manner, the warm water ocean currents travel out from the equator along the surface and flows towards the poles to replace the sinking cold water. So warm currents bring warm water into the cold water areas. And as a result here what happens is the cold dense water sinks and flows under the warm light water. So in this way the ocean current is created. Here note that there are certain factors which influence the ocean currents such as the topography and shape of the ocean basins and the nearby land masses etc. So these forces and physical characteristics also affect the size, shape, speed and direction of the ocean currents. Here we should also know about an important classification of ocean currents based on their depth. See they are surface currents or surface ocean currents and deep water currents or deep ocean currents. In this the surface currents are located at the ocean surface and they occur on local as well as global scales. Surface currents constitute about 10% of all the water in the ocean and these waters are the upper 400 meters of the ocean. It should be noted that surface currents are typically wind driven which results in both horizontal and vertical water moment. Now horizontal surface currents that are local and typically short term include the rip currents, long shore currents and tidal currents. On the other hand in vertical or upwelling currents there is a vertical water moment and also the mixing. So this brings cold nutrient rich water towards the surface and at the same time it pushes the warmer water downwards where it condenses and sinks. Now this creates a cycle of upwelling and downwelling. The next is the deep ocean currents. See they make up the other 90% of the ocean water. They are density driven and differ from surface currents in scale, speed and also energy. Here they move around the ocean basins due to variations in density and gravity. And note that deep waters sink into the deep ocean basins at high latitudes where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase. Next let us see the major ocean currents around the world. See one of the most important ocean currents is Gulf Stream. About which today's news is, see Gulf Stream is a warm current and it is very powerful. This means Gulf Stream conveys warm surface water from the equator to the north and deeper cold low salinity water to down the south. As you can see in these depictions, it flows from the Gulf of Mexico around the US state of Florida up the eastern coast of US and Canada before crossing the Atlantic Ocean towards the Europe. So here we should know that Gulf Stream raises the temperature near the eastern coast of North America and the west coast of Europe. Now today's news article is that a study which reconstructed the Gulf Stream's flow shows that the Gulf Stream has been slow in the last decade unlike the 1000 years before. And the possible reasons for this found by the study is increased rainfall and also the melting of the Greenland Ice Street. So this is about the Gulf Stream. Next similarly one important cold current is the Labrador Current. See it lowers the temperature near the northeast coast of North America. And now we will see other major currents around the world. See in the warm current category it includes the North Equatorial Current, the South Equatorial Current, the Equatorial Counter Current, the Corosio Current, Alaska Current etc. And in the cold current category it includes the California Current, the Canaries or Canary Current, the Humboldt Current or Peru Current, then the Oyesio Current and the West Wind Drift. Now these ocean currents occur on both local and global scales. So in this regard they circumnavigate the world and fulfill certain important tasks. Now the first task is carrying heat to different areas of the world. That is these ocean currents are responsible for the transfer of heat to different parts of the world. See ocean covers 71% of the planet and holds 97% of its water. So this makes the ocean a key factor in the storage and also the transfer of heat energy across the globe. Now secondly this movement of heat through local and global ocean currents affects the regulation of the local weather conditions and also the temperature extremes. It is also responsible for stabilization of global climate patterns, then cycling of gases and importantly delivery of nutrients and lava to the marine ecosystems. Now how this is done? See the mixing of warm and cold currents helps to replenish the oxygen in the ocean and it favours the growth of plankton. See plankton are the primary food for fish population. So that is why the best fishing grounds of the world exist mainly in these mixing zones. For example, seas around Japan and eastern cost of North America are some of the best fishing grounds of the world. Because here the cold ocean current and the warm ocean currents mix. So in short, this abiotic system of ocean currents is responsible for variations in the biodiversity and also Earth's climate system. Here abiotic means the non-living part of ecosystem that shapes its environment. So this is in brief about ocean currents. Let us move on to the next news. And now let us take up this news article from the Science and Tech page which is titled Clustering Educational Institutes and Research Center. As the title suggests, the news article explains on how clustering of universities can play a major role in facilitating a promising growth in the field of research. Let us see them in detail. The syllabus relevant for this analysis is highlighted here for your reference. Please go through it. Now before going into the article, you need to understand the concept of cluster university. See it is a process in which one major institute will be leading around three to five institutes which are placed under it. And under this method, gifted students of a particular grade level are first identified and assigned to one classroom with a teacher who has special training in teaching these gifted students. And the remaining students in the assigned class are of mixed ability. Note that gifted students mentioned here are those with general or higher level of intellectual ability. Moving back to the news article, the clustering we are dealing with here is related to universities and research. The article remarks that clustering of educational institutes and research centers is a promising model to achieve a significant amount of strength in universities to energize the field of research. As we have already learned the national education policy of 2020, which envisions to set up large multidisciplinary universities for the purpose of promoting research that are directed towards solving contemporary national problems. The policy also provides with an option for the establishment of clusters in higher educational institutions. And such cluster based institutions are expected to increase the strength of faculties both in terms of number as well as in the diversity of disciplines. Also, it would facilitate the conducting of research on real life problems. Now, whenever we talk about research, we can find the significant role played by the doctoral students in it. See, it is the doctoral students who form the base for any sort of researches in universities. And like in Indian universities, many other countries also provide with the opportunity of off campus doctoral programs in research laboratories. An example for this would be the external registration program. See, it is an off campus program which is offered by the Indian Institute of Science. And this program enables the employees who are working in laboratories or industries to register for a doctoral program under the supervision of its faculty. And also, they were given a provision to carry out a major part of the research in their workplace itself. And note that the concept of external registration program is now being adopted by a greater number of higher educational institutions. And in most cases, the topics that were chosen for research under the off campus program were found to be in relevance to their workplace. Here it is to be noted that at such a juncture, it is also possible to go a step ahead and make the workplaces that are pursuing knowledge based work as a part of a cluster based university. And now the author gives examples of cluster based universities like that of the Homi Baba National Institute which is located in Mumbai, then Soken Dai or the Graduate Institute for Advanced Studies Placed in Japan and Paris, the SACLE University. As we know, every country has got its own unique framework for the establishment of universities. And though there are many differences in the structure, the primary objective will always be to benefit from synergies, that is to produce a combined effect through interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations. And this combined effect is expected to be greater in comparison to the sum of their separate effects. And such initiative will always help in conducting better academic research on focus areas. And also, it will enable the pursuit of academic and post-academic research in the same university in addition to a rapid deployment of results in research. Now coming to India, the author notes that it is advisable for India to sincerely pursue clustering of universities. And the institutions chosen for clustering can be based on different concepts like those located in close proximity or pursuing similar objectives. It is also to be noted that in a cluster based university, the rewards should be assigned based on the recognition of all aspects of talent and knowledge based output. So therefore, in our longer run in moving away from single discipline institutions to multi-disciplinary universities, clustering seems to be a promising model. That is, it can help in achieving a critical mass of universities which can be used to rejuvenate research. So this is all about this news article. With this information, let us move on to the next news. And now have a look at this question. It is based on this news article which says that the National School of Drama might get the Institute of National Importance tag. See, INA is a type of university level institution in India. So some of the institutions established by an act of parliament are declared as institutions of national importance. For example, the National Institute of Design has been declared as institution of national importance by the act of parliament. Now at present, there are more than 90 institutions of national importance in India. And these include several IITs and NITs, etc. Know that the institution of national importance comes under union list of the seventh schedule of the Indian constitution. The union list entry 64 is about institutions for scientific or technical education financed by the government of India wholly or in part and declared by the parliament by law to be the institutions of national importance. Now let us discuss in detail about the National School of Drama. See, it is one of the four most theatre training institutions in the world and the only one in its kind in India. See, it was set up by the Sangeet Natak Academy as one of its constituent units in 1959. As we know, the Sangeet Natak Academy is India's national academy for music, dance and drama which was created in 1952. Now coming back to National School of Drama, in 1975, it became an independent entity. It is registered as an autonomous organization under the Society's Registration Act of 1860 and it is fully financed by the Ministry of Culture. Know that the training in NSD is highly intensive and is based on a comprehensive, carefully planned syllabus which covers every aspect of theatre. Know that National School of Drama has two performing wings, the Repertory Company and the Theatre in Education Company. The Repertory Company was started in 1964 with an objective of providing a platform where the graduates of schools could perform plays in a professional manner. And the Repertory Company also tours and performs extensively in India and abroad. Now the Theatre in Education Company was established in 1989 as one of the most important theatre education resource centers in the country. It consists of a group of actor-teachers who are working with and also performing for children. The major focus of the Theatre in Education Company is to perform creative, curriculum-based and participatory plays in schools, specially designed and prepared for children of different age groups. And in addition to these two wings, the National School of Drama also has an active extension program, a publication section and a literary forum which is named as Shruti. The extension program under which the NSD faculty and the alumni conduct workshops in various parts of the country was launched in 1978. And the publication unit of the National School of Drama is responsible for publishing textbooks on theatre. And it also translates important books on theatre from English to Hindi. So this is in brief about the Institute of National Importance Tag and the National School of Drama. So with this information, have a look at this question. Consider the following statements regarding National School of Drama. The first statement reads, It is India's foremost theatre training institute functioning under the Ministry of Education. See this statement is incorrect. We have seen that it comes under the Ministry of Culture. Now the second statement reads, It is a statutory body formed as a constituent of the Sangeet Natak Academy. See this statement is also incorrect. It is not a statutory body, but it is registered as an autonomous organization under the Society's Registration Act of 1860. So in this question, we have to identify the correct statement or statements. Since both the statements are incorrect, the correct answer for this question is option D, neither one nor two. Now with this information, let us move on to the next news. And now have a look at this second question. It is based on this news article which talks about the celestial bodies which are named as Centurs. So what are these Centurs? See they are small celestial bodies orbiting the sun between Jupiter and Neptune. It is one of the most enduring mysteries of astrophysics because they have confounded or amazed the astronomers for resembling both asteroids and comets. As you know, comets are cosmic snowballs or the frozen leftovers from the formation of our solar system. And they are composed of dust, rock and ice. And they may be a few miles wide to tens of miles wide. But as they orbit closer to the sun, they heat up and spew or discharge gases and dust into a glowing head that can be larger than a planet. And the dust and gases form a tail that stretches away from the sun for millions of miles. On the other hand, asteroids are rocky, airless remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system. So they are sometimes called as minor planets. See most of the asteroids are irregularly shaped but some are nearly spherical. Asteroids are often pitted or cratered and they can be found orbiting the sun between Mars and Jupiter within the main asteroid belt. Now coming to Centurs, they are named after the mythical half-horse half-human creatures called as Centurs due to the dual nature of resembling both asteroids and comets. And it was observed by the NASA's Neowise project that roughly two-thirds of the Centur population have cometary origin hailing from the frigid outer reaches of our solar system. Here cometary origin means an object that is likely made from the same material as a comet. So it may have been an active comet in the past and may be active again in the future. But it is not clear if the remaining one-third of the population is made up of asteroids. Now today's news article is that Centurs that are travelling towards the sun have been temporarily settled near the Trojans. And this is the reason why the article is titled as Celestial Parking Lot. And these Centurs show signs of comet activity such as a tail. Here know that Trojans are asteroids. They share an orbit with a larger planet but do not collide with it because they gather around two special places in the orbit which are called as L4 and L5 Lagrangian points. And there the gravitational pull from the sun and also the planets are balanced by a Trojan's tendency to otherwise fly out of the orbit. So this means due to the gravitational pull of sun and planets the Trojans won't be able to escape their orbit. And here it should be noted that the Jupiter Trojans form the most significant population of Trojan asteroids. It is thought that they are as numerous as the asteroids which are present in the asteroid belt. And know that there are also Mars and Neptune Trojans and the NASA also announced the discovery of an Earth Trojan in 2011. So in this discussion we saw about Centurs, asteroids, comets and also about Trojan asteroids. So with this information have a look at this question. Consider the following statements. Trojans are comets and share an orbit with a larger planet. See this statement is incorrect. We have seen that Trojans are asteroids and not comets. Now the second statement reads Centurs are the small asteroids orbiting the sun between Jupiter and Neptune. See this statement is also incorrect. We have seen that Centurs exhibit the characters of both comets and asteroids. So in this question we have to identify the incorrect statement or statements. Since both the statements are incorrect the correct answer for this question is option C both 1 and 2. So with this we have discussed almost all the relevant news articles from today's The Hindu newspaper. Now let us move on to the practice questions discussion section based on today's news analysis. Now see this first question. It is a previous year question which was asked in Pilms 2012. Consider the following factors. Rotation of the Earth, air pressure and wind, density of ocean water, revolution of the Earth. Which of the above factors influence the ocean currents? See here the correct answer is option B. Here it should be noted that the rotation of Earth which leads to Coriolis effect is a factor that influences ocean currents. But revolution of Earth is not a factor. And all other three are correct. So the correct answer for this question is option B, 1, 2 and 3. Now we have a second question which was asked in Pilms 2013. The most important fishing grounds of the world are found in the region's world. So the correct answer is option C, warm and cold oceanic currents meet. And now we have two main questions. Please write your answers and post it in the comment section. Now we have come to the end of analysis of all the news articles taken up for today's discussion. And also the discussion of practice questions.
