Hello friends, welcome back to course on integrated pest management, today let us discuss important pests of sugarcane and how we are going to manage these pests on sugarcane. Sugarcane is one of the important commercial crop, it is grown throughout country and India is the largest producer of sugarcane and also sugar in the process of its production, so it is going to encounter many problems among them insect pests or major ones. As many as 200 species of insects have been recorded on this sugarcane, but only few insects are quite important in reducing the yield. In India the major states like Uttar and Maharashtra they grow lot of sugarcane and at the same times they are going to produce higher amount of sugar in the country. So these are the important pests which are occurring different states among them lepidopteran pests like early shoot borer, internote borer and top shoot borer and other than these lepidopteran pests there are few second insect pests and also occasioned pests which are going to infest this important crop sugarcane. Immediately after sowing or immediately after planting this early shoot borer it is going to occur and here this early shoot borer eggs are laid in 3 to 5 rows in the masses of 400 and after hatching the dirty white coloured larvae which is having a dark violet longitudinal stripes and preparation will takes place in sugarcane or a cane itself and afterwards the adult emerges out. Since it is early occurring a pest and because of its attack dead hearts are going to produce and from this dead heart the rotten offensive order it is coming out when you pull it out and thereby it is going to produce number of holes at the base of the sugarcane. The next important pest that is a internote borer that is Kailo-Sakari-Fegas so eggs are oval in shape and the larvae it is white body with dark spots on the dorsal region and preparation takes place in cane itself and after 7 to 8 days the pupae it is going to emerge as adult and almost this adult it is living for 3 to 4 days. So this internote borer it is more important once the cane starts producing this internotes and there are many holes are present in between these internotes and because of its attack the internotes are shortened or as well you can say constricted many holes are present in between internotes and when you cut open the fresh cane so inside you will see the redding color of the tissues. Next top shoot borer it is also one of the important pest throughout the country and more in north India then south the buff colored eggs are laid on the leaf and larvae is creamy white in color and having this red color mid-rip and the pupae takes place inside the cane and the white adults emerges out after 7 to 9 days. So since it enters through mid-rip and it is going to affect the growing shoots and because of its cutting across the spindle so series holes are present on the leaves and because of this the bungee appearance is produced hence it is going to affect the growing shoot and bungee shoot appearance is a common phenomena in top shoot borer. The other sucking pest and one is woolly effeed it is seratovacchina lanizara it was a very severe pest some a decade back and now it is occurring sporadically and in south India Maharashtra and Karnataka they are the major states where in this woolly effeed caused much damage.  Then sugarcane leaf hopper it is pyrilla perpuzella it is also one of the important sucking pest which is occurring throughout India but major states are Punjab and Uttar Pradesh where in it occurs continuously here both nymphs and adults they are going to suck the sap and because of its continuous sucking the margins of the leaves become yellow and here also this is going to emit the honeydew secretion on the various surface of the leaves because of this black shooty mold development is seen and because of its continuous attack there is lateral but germination is also seen because of its attack the juice quality is reduced ultimately the overall reduction in the yield. Root grub so this is one pest it is occurring at early stage especially during May and June the adults which are emerging in after pre monsoon showers and they are going to lay the eggs in soils and most of the times the light soils or sandy soils they are where in the it attacks more in sandy soils and also red soils eggs are laid in the soils and the grub will be C shaped and normally the early instars first and second instar grubs they are feeding on organic matter and next after third instar they are going to feed on sugarcane roots and rootlets. Because of its feeding entire drying of crown is seen so it when you pull it comes very easily sometimes it also very serious and in some of the areas like in Andhra Pradesh Gujarat Maharashtra and also in Karnataka that is scale insect and here both nymphs and adults they are going to suck the sap continuously because of its sucking the overall plant growth is stunted and as well you can see this anchor station on the stem and sometimes even on the leaf also and because of its continuous feeding there is reduction in the juice quality and also yield overall there is a reduction in even jaggery production also and another pest that is termite and it is also occurring in patches and whenever you grow this sugarcane in red and sandy soils where in you see the lot of problem of this termite.  These are the some of the important pest and their nature of damage in our next class we will discuss about the various tactics or management practices that can be adapted for these sugarcane pest thank you.


Tonight the DuPont Company brings you parade starring Gene Herschelt on the Cavalcade of America. But first here is game Whitman. Here is the word about the prices of DuPont Xerone and Xerex antifreezes. With the lifting of OPA regulations the DuPont Company has not increased its prices for these products. They remain the same to all retailers as they were before the war and under OPA. Tonight we present Gene Herschelt in parade on the DuPont Cavalcade of America. You've probably never heard of Peter Ferrick. Historically speaking he's not a famous man, simply one of millions who have come here to America from many lands. All with dreams in their hearts, grandiose dreams and humble ones. And when they are translated into reality we find that each has added to the sum of American progress and achievement. Tonight we tell you the story of such a man. True you have never heard his name before nor will you hear it again, but you will recognize him or his counterpart in a friend or a relative or possibly in yourself. It's a brisk autumn day and down the main street of a representative of American town a military parade takes its brave and splendid way. Among the crowds lining the route stand Peter Berrick and his family. Fine parade, mother. Wonderful parade. You like parades, don't you? I wouldn't miss one for the world. I remember the first parade I saw in America. What? What did you say, dear? All I was just remembering the day I came to America. It was really a parade Clement the night so then. We thought it was though. Yes, how well I remember Clement Hopkins and me getting off the boat from Ellis Island. We certainly were a couple of greenhorns. Last Clement, we are on American soil. Oh, it feels good, yes. Anything feels good. Anything but that boat. You're still seasick, yes? How come we will take a little walk? Walk? But where to Peter? What does it matter? This is America, Clement. Come. Look, Clement. The buildings. Yeah. So big, Peter. Yes, I had no idea everything was so big here. Maybe we should better go back, yes? No, we are going to stay. But we have no money, no jobs, no place to sleep. No more. We will start looking. We will find something. Look, a parade. A parade? But they are not marching. They're standing still in the street. That is very odd. Peter? Yes. Are they soldiers? How should I know I came and you did? They are soldiers. We should go the other way. I do not like it. But look, they are women in the same uniforms. I do not understand this. I will ask one of them. No, no, no. Please, Peter. It is not good to ask soldiers. You know that in the old country they did not like us to speak to them. Oh, this is not the old country. I'm going to ask her. Peter, please. Peter, we will go to jail. You will please excuse me? Yes. What is this parade? Parade. Oh, it is not a parade. We are the Salvation Army. Army? Peter, I told you, please, my friend, you did not... Oh, no. You do not understand. We are holding services here in the street. Services? Yes, church services. You mean this is like church? Yes. Clemen, you see, in the old country it was soldiers, soldiers, soldiers. Yeah, it's worshiping God. That's right. Would you like to join us? I... Peter, you know we have to find a job, a place to sleep, no place. No, we have no time now. Somebody... Yes, I know. We thank you and... You have no money, no job, no place to stay. We, my friend and I, we just come from the boat at Ellis Island. I see. Well, why don't you come with us? We'll give you something to eat, put you up for the night, and in the morning see about getting jobs for you. That is, if you want to work. Yes, yes, we want to work. All right. We'll have prayers in a moment, and then we'll go for the mission. But we have no money, none at all. You don't need any. Now we'll have our prayers. Just wait. Hello, Mr. God. This is Peter Barrick. My friend, Clemen Hupta, and me, we have reached America's safety. We thank you for letting there be a place like America to come to. We are strange here. We have no money, but already we have found these friends. We have dreams, and they say that in America you do not have to be rich to make your dream be true. My dream, Mr. God, is that I should have a house, a small, wide house of my own. In your country, it is not possible for such a one as you to have his own house, but I dream it always. And here in America, I'm ready to work hard, very hard, to be a good American and to get my dream. Please, if it is not too much trouble, please show me how. Oh, why is the streetcar so late and coming? Peter, what difference does it make if we get home a few minutes later? Now that we have finished our day's work, why be in such a hurry? Because Michael Stastin, who lives next door, promised to take me to see another moving picture. Oh, you and your moving picture? This one is about a cowboy. Look across the street. There must be something wrong. Oh, come on, let me see what it is. Clemen, Jesus. Clemen, it is a woman. She's standing on a chair, making a skirt. Peter, here comes our streetcar now. Oh, wait, wait. I want to hear what she's saying. Woman's place is in a home. Why don't you go on? If you think we smart enough to vote.  I'm gonna put you back in the kitchen where you belong. What goes my arm? Clemen, that drunken man is annoying her. Let her stop him. No, no, it is not our affair. Stop it. Let me go. Now you come along with me, my pretty little man. You will please let that young lady alone. Huh? Who says so? You let her go. Get out of my way, that drunken man. That will show you not to annoy your lady. Then when the suffrage of a lady is... Hey, ask for it. ...interpreting for it. Don't pay any attention to them. It was wonderful of you to help me. Please do not thank me. It was for me a privilege. Thank you. I should like to take you to your home to see that you get there safely. But that's very kind of you. Where is he? In a defenseless man, will it? Let me out of here. Oh, look out.  Get away. Stop, stop, stop. My nose is bleeding. Oh, dear, oh, it certainly is. Here. Give my hand to you. And I think I'd better take you home. In the old country they say I am best in the whole village. Well, you're certainly the best in this whole park. So we set down this mansion last awhile. That would be nice. Enjoy being with me like this on Sunday afternoon. Of course. Because I certainly wouldn't have done it so often. Oh, goodness, my hands are frozen. Oh, here, let me. Are they better now? The minute you touch them. Alice, I wish to ask you a question. Yes, Peter? All the time we know each other. Six months now. You're making speeches for... for women to vote. Yes. Alice, is this enough for a woman to do with her life? You see to vote? Oh, Peter, of course not. Voting would only take a small portion of my time. Then you would have time for marrying and home and children? Yes. I'm sure I would. A woman should have those things. What about a man? Oh, he too, but a man cannot get married when he is only a worker in a factory. You mean all those men who work at your factory aren't married? Oh, no, many are. But to ask for the hand of a young woman like you, a man should make a good salary. He should be able to give you, I mean her, a green home, a house in the country, a white house for the garden. Not just two rooms and a flower pot. That would be very nice, of course. But when two people are in love, they don't need a house and a garden. Wherever they are, it's a power. Alice, that is very beautiful. Like you are very beautiful. Alice, I... Yes, Peter. Are your hands still cold? No, I mean yes. Oh, Peter, why don't you say it? Say what? David, you love me. Of course I love you. Oh, I said it. I thought I would not have the courage to say it. And I said it. You have enough courage left over to ask me to marry you. You are my courage. You are my heart and my blood. When you marry me... What? Hold it tight. Yes. Thank you. What are you sewing, my dear wife? A new apartment. Ah, a new apartment. And it should have been our own house. Peter, it's a perfectly beautiful free room apartment. And we're lucky to get it. Lucky. What are you reading there? The History of America. For the citizenship examination. Peter, you've got several years to go before you can take it. It's too soon to read the history of America. And if I forget, I'll read it over again. But I don't think I will forget. Alice, when our son is born... You're maybe a girl. No, no, no. In our family, the first is always a boy. When our son is born, he will be American citizen. The first man he draws bread, yes? That's right, dear. That is something wonderful. My son will be citizen before me. How much terror can catch up with him? Where's my place? I look all right. Oh, you look fine here. Now don't be nervous.  What do you think of that, huh? Why is Mama crying? Alice, you're crying at such a moment? It's just because I know how long you've waited for this. And how much it means to me. And because I feel a little ashamed of the way I've taken it for granted all my life. But I didn't stop it extent for the precious things I did. I'm an American citizen. Peter Verrick. Alice, he's calling me. Yes, right here, Mr. Judge, your honor. I am Peter Verrick. Peter Verrick, you have fulfilled all the requirements for naturalization. Are you prepared to take the oath of citizenship? Oh, yes, your honor. Raise your right hand and repeat after me. Please, your honor, it is not necessary to say it for me. I studied it for six years. I know it in my heart. I, Peter Verrick, hereby declare on oath that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abduer all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate status over energy of which I have here before being a subject. That I will support and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. So help me, God. You're listening to Jean Herschold as Peter Verrick in Parade on the cavalcade of America sponsored by the Vupont Company, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. As he watches a parade march by, Peter Verrick, surrounded by his family, thinks back over the 30 years since he first came to America, a penniless immigrant. There have been wonderful times and sad times for him, the years of the First World War, the years when things were hard, and he thinks of the dream he cherished of getting a little White House for himself and his family. And now he thinks of something else, the realization of another dream, one that seemed almost too wonderful to have come true. There he is, Peter. I see him. All looks so serious. It is a serious moment when a boy graduates from college. They all look so nice and their cats and guns marching along the path. Don't say Uncle Clem. He's a fine boy, a son to be proud of. He did it all by himself, Clem. He worked his way right through the four years. And even after I was promoted to form and he wouldn't let me help him, he said to put it in the piggy bank for the little White House. Still dreaming about that little White House, Peter, even after all this time. What has time got to do with it? The dream doesn't get over. Peter, they're breaking up. Come on, we must find Victor. Oh, there he is now. Victor, here we are. My son, a college graduate. A wonderful country. Oh, hello, folks. Did you enjoy the ceremonies? Congratulations, darling. My boy, I am so proud of you. It's a good thing that my suit is a little loose to me. Now we go back to the apartment and have a little party. What are you going to do now, Victor? Have you made up your mind? Well, yes, I have. What? Victor, you didn't tell us anything. Well, I wasn't going to tell you even now, but, well, I don't have much time, so I suppose now is as good a time as any. Victor, what are you talking about? I've enlisted in the Air Corps. The Air Corps? You're going to be a soldier? Oh, Victor, why? Our country isn't in the war. Sooner or later, we will be, Mom. All of us. He is right, Alice. This is not a war against certain countries. It is a war against all decent people. Victor, if I was proud of you before, there is no word for how I feel now. Who's there? Peter, is that you? Alice, what are you doing in the street doing an air raid drill? I've been looking for you for half an hour. Here, put on your scarf. You break the rules to bring me a scarf? It's cold out now. You put it on. At least if it was something important I only wish it were. I wonder if he's still in England. Oh, Alice, you didn't leave the lights on in their apartment. No, dear. Dorothy came home just as I left, and I reminded her not to turn the lights on until after the all clear signal. Got your family well trained, Mr. Air Raid Warden. Yes, very well trained. You went out in the pitch dark just to... Come on, I'll take you home. I hope none of the other wardens will see us.  Maybe I can help you in your work. Well, if you want to help me in my work, you stay home and see that their apartment is dark and so another fastener on my armpand. Isn't it dark? This should have an inside room. We have our own little house. We will have an inside room. Darling, I heard about a very nice house. It's for sale in Maybank. You want to go out and look at it? Is it wide? Yes, darling. We'll go see it next week. Here we are. Now you can straight up step... Hey, you on the second floor. Turn off that light. Oh, dear. Turn it off before I... Alice, it's our apartment. I know, dear. Dorothy, you must have forgotten. Forgotten? That is no excuse. That my own family should do a thing like this to me. Everyone will see it. Well, why doesn't she open the door? Dorothy, it's me, Papa. Open the... Dorothy, the parlour light is on. Oh, Dad, Mother, I... What's the matter? What is it? This telegram from the War Department. The War Department? About... Big talk? Oh, Daddy, he missed it. Sector's missing in action. It's a beautiful little house, Peter. Right. Like I always dreamed. And with a little land in the back four garden, see? A rose bush would be nice in that corner. Yes, and those tall flowers. How do you call them? Hockey hollies? Hockey hollies. Hockey hollies. Polly hocks right along the back fence. The house itself is just the right size for it. Four bedrooms are just what we need. That is it. If Victor ever comes back, he will come back, Mother. We must not think otherwise, not even for a minute. He will come back. I tell you this, and you must tell it to yourself. Victor will come back. Oh, Peter, I... I tried. It's been so long. No word. No word at all. We must have faith, my darling. I tell you what we do. We decide which of the bedrooms is to be for Victor. And then they fix it up like we are expecting him to arrive there the next day. We put all his things in it. His books and his pictures.  Yes, that's how we'll do, Mother. Do you mean we're buying this house? Of course. It's the house I dreamed about when I came to America. It's the house I promised to give you so many times. Of course we'll buy you. Peter, how much did it cost? That I forgot to ask. Oh, darling. It may be much more than we can afford. I know. We asked the agent. Did you enjoy it, Peter? Yes, my dear. I enjoyed every minute. The person is sad times, too. Peter, dear, I'm talking about the parade. What are you talking about? The parade? Why, it's all. You've been very quiet the last ten minutes, Peter. I was thinking about you, Mother, about Dorothy and Junior and Victor. I thought so. Hey, did I hear someone mention my name?  Oh, now, Dad, stop treating me like an invalid. I'm okay now. Anyway, it's time now we go home and eat the good Thanksgiving turkey your mother fixed for us. Come with me. Let's go. Think of it, Mother. Our first Thanksgiving dinner in our own home. Look at that turkey. I hope it's done. Now, please, we say, grace first. This is Peter Verich and my family together again for the first time in many long years. And please look where we are, Mr. God, in a little white house of our own. Today's Thanksgiving day, but even if it was just a plain, everyday Thursday, I would say thank you, Mr. God. Thank you for our help and for each other. And thank you for America, where a man like me from a strange land and without any money could have a dream and get a chance to make it true. Please help us to preserve our many blessings. I would like to say much more, but my heart is so full, makes my throat all tight. Also, from the look on Mother's face, I think the turkey's getting cold, so I will finish. Amen. This is Gain Whitman. Many a prayer like Peter Verichs will be offered this Thanksgiving season, and many an American will pause thoughtfully to count his blessings and reflect upon the meaning of Thanksgiving day. We know how it began. The rocky shore on which the pilgrims landed after their stormy voyage represented a land of promise to them, not a land of ease and idleness. Before they could so much as build shelter, they had to cut down trees. It was the same with everything else. They were cold. They were hungry. Many of them died. But at last, the harvest was in. The first all-important harvest, and the pilgrim leaders proclaimed a day of Thanksgiving. The men, the women, the children met with their Indian friends. They thanked God for the harvest, and because man does not live by bread alone, they thanked him for freedom to speak their minds, freedom to worship as they pleased. This year, the first after a war in which democracy was desperately challenged, we have much for which to be thankful, thankful above all else that our democracy has been preserved, thankful too for our abundant harvest. There has been a steady progression in the material side of American life until the average man today has a standard of living higher than many a rich man's half a century ago. The heart of America is our precious freedom, freedom to work when and where we please, freedom to say whatever we please, to whomever we please, freedom to vote, freedom to worship as our conscience directs us. That God has given us the strength and the ability to hold that freedom through the years is our most compelling reason for giving thanks. And so, a happy Thanksgiving Day to you from the men and women who make the DuPont companies better things for better living through chemistry. Now, here is our star, Jean Hersholt, and I think he'd like to say a word about tonight's story. Thanks, Cain. Tonight's show will make me think of many of us who, like Peter Varick, have come to America with dreams in our hearts. Here in America, we have found freedom of expression in our newspapers I think Peter Varick expressed his best when he says, Thank you for America, where a man like me from a strange land could have a dream and get a chance to make it true. Many a prayer like Peter Varick will be offered this Thanksgiving season. Many an American will pose thoughtfully to count his blessings and reflect upon the meaning of Thanksgiving Day. The music for tonight's DuPont Cavalcade was composed and conducted by Robert Armbrister. Jean Hersholt is the star of his own program sponsored by the Cheeseburrow Manufacturing Company. Our Cavalcade play was written by Priscilla Kent. Featured in the cast with Jean Hersholt tonight were Virginia Gregg as Alice and Jerry Mann as Clement. This is John Easton inviting you to listen next week to Anne Harding in Mother of Freedom on the Cavalcade of America brought to you by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. Cavalcade of America came to you from Hollywood. This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.


Saving the planet. Yes, absolutely.  All right guys, welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby guys. Today we're going to react again to vegan booty. By now she has 6,666 subscribers. No wonder. Let's have a look. Okay, this video is called vegan paints herself in a period blood. Yeah, I know this joke has been made before, but if you call yourself a vegan booty, I don't need to say anything. I mean, obviously, such activism gets attention, but the question is of course, what is the message?  This has nothing absolutely zero to do with veganism.  Anyways, but no matter what the cause, if you would go naked into any establishment, you would get thrown out. What do you expect? Just grab her by the hair and throw her out. This is sexual harassment, obviously, by exposing yourself and therefore force can be used. There is nothing wrong with grabbing her and throwing her out physically. Yes, you are. And aside from that, let me give you a little physique critique, if you will, as a former bodybuilder myself. She calls herself vegan booty. I could make one butt joke after the other if I wanted to, but let's speak facts. If you look at her physique, she trains, she posts body pictures of herself, gym pictures, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But you can see that she's incapable of building proper muscle.  She's flat chested as well. And I'm not talking about the breast tissue. I'm talking about the muscle underneath. Everything is flabby. Everything is saggy.  This comes from under eating protein every single time. Man, how incapable are you, security guy? Just grab her and throw her out. I understand. I assume you're scared of losing your job if you get too physical with her, but this is your job. Just grab her and throw her out. Just grab her, man. What are you doing there? Incapable. Or just grab her by the tongue and drag her out. Oh, man. It's a mess. By the way, most leather is just a byproduct of the meat industry anyways, which I know vegans find reprehensive, but it is the most normal thing. Yes, yes, yes. Except Jesus Christ as your Lord today. And then they wonder if you say they're evangelicals. It's crazy. Yeah, we saw it. We saw the truth.  Did you see the pride in her face? Look at this. Fantastic. Absolutely careless, of course, if children are watching at all, right?   Disgusting evil woman. Oh, right. This video is called hot vegans protest in lingerie. Let's have a look.  Vegans are crazy.  Okay. This is the West, everybody. Welcome in Melbourne. Saving the planet. Yes, absolutely.  This is how you save the planet by going out in public with a laundry by going out in public in underwear, exposing yourself for everybody to see children included. Yeah, that's it. Wow. Look at this. You can see her pubic hair through the thong. And this is obviously a minor. How old will he be? 13? Something like that. Posing with this half naked woman. But this is allowed, right? This is what your government allows. They should be sued for sexual harassment right away. And it's so funny to me because in the West, the women, they are so suppressed, right? They cannot do anything.   Fantastic. Let's watch another one.  I'm going to turn off the music. I don't want to get a copyright strike. Yeah, super original as always. I've never heard that one before. Climate change means diet change. Yeah, free all nipples. Stop stealing milk from baby cows. Eat pussy, not animals. Absolutely degenerate. Yet again, right? Be sexually deviant. Do what you will essentially, but do not eat the animals. This is all right. You can parade your naked body outside. That is totally fine. But do not eat a steak. This is morality. This is ethics. This is how it works. Yeah, vegan booty. Yes, yes. Wow. And look at all those tools. Filming it. Wow. Obviously, super narcissistic has nothing to do with the animals at all. It is all just about themselves feeling righteous, fueling their pride, nothing more and nothing less. Wow. Terrible. Look at this. Oh, look into my eyes. I'm an hero. I sacrifice my body for the voiceless. Wow. Veganism, the art of pissing people off by telling the truth. Yes, that's what pisses him off. Yeah, look at this.  Why is your son supposed to see something like this? Is this why you came from China? This is why you came to Melbourne, right? This is what you wanted to expose your family to total utter degeneracy. Disgusting. Wow. My food is grown. Not born. Yeah, sure. Look into the crop industry. Oh, man, so oblivious. But it's really the men's fault. Honestly, if you would walk by me like this, I would spit at you. I really mean this. I would spit at you. I would spit in your face. But those people take pictures with you. It's their own fault. As a society that has become so proud, so full of themselves, they think this is a good idea. Naked women in some sort of latex fetish outfit. Yeah, of course it wasn't enough. Free the nipple. All nipples are free. Wow. This is activism. Yes, by exposing yourself. Wow. I'm amazed. Phenomenal. All right, guys. And this is it. Just a quick check-in, so to speak, with vegan booty. Absolutely nothing changed since her last activism. All she does is, of course, shock value. Yes, this will give you attention, but it will give you attention. It won't give veganism attention. You might believe so. I don't really think you do. Nobody will turn vegan because of this. You're degenerate women outside naked. People will take pictures of you because they're so brainwashed and demoralized that this is the highlight of the day.  Let's take a picture and upload it on Instagram. It is absolutely laughable. This is what is going on. Nobody will care.  Nothing more and nothing less.   People won't go vegan because of this. You're changing absolutely nothing. You're building your social media. That's pretty much it. You're doing activism for yourself. All right, guys, but this is it for today's video. Just a quick one. Let me know if you liked it in the comment section. And if so, leave it a thumbs up. If you haven't subscribed already, guys, please do so. And if you want to support this channel, all the links are in the description box for you. Thank you very much for your support. And as always, may God bless you all. Much love and peace. Wow.


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Thousands of farmers are again coming to Delhi on 29th and 30th of November. It's going to be a replication of Kisan Long March of Maharashtra. Today we are joined by P. Sainath, founder editor of Pari, to discuss about the issue. He was also one among the first persons to give a call for Long March to Delhi. Welcome to NewsClick, Sainath. So let's start with the background of this entire march. I remember you writing an article on the Global India where you called for a special parliamentary session to be held on the issue of agrarian crisis. So where did this idea of Long March originate? All of us were incredibly inspired by the Long March from Nashik to Mumbai. That was a really Long March. 182 kilometers where 40,000 Adivasi farmers, poorest of the farmers, really marginal organized by the All India Kisan Sabha, marched on their demands from Nashik to Mumbai a week, one week. And one of the things that we saw there which was unusual as compared to earlier marches, having lived 36 years, been based 36 years in Mumbai. It was the first time we saw the middle classes come out in large numbers to support in thousands, in sympathy and empathy with the farmers who had come there. These were very poor farmers. They touched the conscience of the Mumbai city. And their demands were reasonable and they also reached out to the middle classes by marching at the dead of night on the last night so as not to disrupt the board exams in the town of Mumbai. And I think people really appreciated that and responded with warmth and generosity. They came there with water, with food. People came and gave free pairs of chappals because there were so many thousands who had no footwear. When we saw that, the middle classes had not been mobilized for that. When some of us saw that, we thought this should be happening in Delhi. And so a group now the call for the march on November 29th and 30th that is given by the All India Kisan Sangarsh Coordination Committee. Sir, a group of around 180 farm organizations. Maybe almost 200 I believe farm organizations big and small. Our role as middle class professionals etc. was how do we reconnect? Maybe the opportunity has come to reconnect the middle classes with the primary classes and workers. In September you had a march which were of the All India Kisan Sabha where you had farmers, workers and agricultural workers. And just one day before that was women's march in Delhi. So why can't we bring all these together and bring the middle classes in was an idea. And I think there is some sensitivity growing around the country to this. A middle class platform sprang up in solidarity. Nation for farmers. Within this there are people who are doctors lawyers, teachers there have been groups forming in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai techies for farmers students they might wear their separate arm bands or headbands or t-shirts but they will come as nation for farmers as the main banner in front. That will be the, that's the idea. And when I've been visiting the college campuses etc. there has been a very good response to it. Though of course there are two problems. One is the elections being around the same dates from neighboring states where many more people would come and exams beginning on the 28th. So let me come back to the issues on which these mobilizations are happening. So it still remains the minimum support prize and loan waiver. What are the other things that you are demanding apart from? There is more than that. The minimum support prize and the loan waiver are the core of two bills that have been crafted by the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee which must be passed. Which came out of the mobilization that happened last year? That must be passed and I believe a large number of political parties have signed on saying that they support this demand and that they will pass these bills. But there is also the larger crisis. I mean the agrarian crisis is also an agroecological crisis. It's a question of women's rights in farming. It has issues related to the agrarian crisis. There is apart from a loan waiver a larger credit structure and public responsibility for that. There are questions of what kind of agriculture do we want 20-30 years from now? What about the pending issues of land reform? In the first of the Swaminathan Commission or National Commission for Farmer Reports was given in December 2014. For 14 years 5 reports have lain in parliament without 1-hour discussion. 5 reports, 6 volumes. But when it comes to the GST for the corporate world a joint session of parliament is called in no time and held at midnight with the President of India there. Surely you can find some time for the farmers of your nation who have been in crisis unending and ever escalating crisis for 20-25 years now. So that is the point that in that 3 week session should be where you pass the 2 bills you discuss the Swaminathan report, you discuss the women's rights and entitlements and try passing a bill on that you discuss the mega water crisis and take a position on whether water is a fundamental right or a commodity. So there are and let victims of the crisis address parliament and the nation through that. So let's come to the organization of the march because if we look at Kisan Long March it's a lengthy process it took place 3 months before the march actually started. I think 2-3 years. But the entire process took 3-4 months assembling food, convincing people to arrange food and all. So what's the plan when it comes to the Delhi Chalo March? There are several groups as I said there are well over 100 odd groups in the world and now the middle class is coming in. The logistics are going to be very complex but then each group also looks out for itself the Delhi government the Delhi government, Mr. Kejriwal's government has promised the creation of toilets and stationing of ambulances and will perhaps help with water also and some of their individual members of that government their individual capacity are trying to contribute to the food packets that are required and others too you know maybe the hawkers federation others will all come in to provide something at cost that kind of talk and discussions are going on so we think this will happen. So it's doctors for farmers students for farmers have you also reached out to other political parties? and got them to sign on to the idea of those two bills we as nation for farmers which is we are not the people who are the organizers of the march we are a solidarity group we are a solidarity group we have created a petition to the president of India calling for that special session it's online we have a dedicated website dillichalo.in and anyone can go up and sign it there in different languages it's there in several languages so you can sign it now in the dillichalo.in there is also the updates on where it is at because people are bogged down in elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh things are happening now one of the things that's happening everywhere people keep asking me how is it relevant to all over Maharashtra Aurangabad, Marathwara Vidarbha, Nashik Vangana, Mehbubnagar kids are dropping out of college in university as the drought bites in already their parents who are farmers have been bankrupted by the agrarian crisis of the last 20 years now the drought means they have no crop there are dozens and dozens of kids in the universities of Pune and in the worst still in the privatized universities private universities of Pune are unable to pay their hostel fees their mess fees, their tuition fees in complete dilemma and demoralization over what to do these are so directly linked to the agrarian crisis right so I find that there is a great degree of sensitivity in that and I think you are going to also see the retired servicemen's groups which came out in September 5th they will also in my opinion the pensioners, old pensioners of pensioner Parishat they will also be joining this march in fact one of the things that I found in the last several years I have been talking at the military colleges war college in Hyderabad the military defense college in Mohove in Delhi the military college and I find that army personnel are extremely sensitive to the agrarian crisis because your Javan is a Kisan in uniform right so that's you will find a very great diverse spectrum of people but it's very important that this march of the 29th and 30th is a beginning not a culmination and I am finding everyday people are telling me we have formed this group in Sikhandrabad we have formed this group in Patna we don't even know all the groups it shows that there is some kind of ferment so after the 30th we held a group meeting in Pune nation farmers veteran socialist Babadav came I didn't phone him up I didn't he came there and he told me he said he told the crowd I am very pleased that we are doing this but he told me I will not forgive you you stop this after 30th so coming to the last question you already said that this is not going to be the end and there are programs which are going to be held in future also so what are the things if this doesn't work out what are the next step and second what's an appeal that you would like to leave this interview on? the first thing I mean I really want to appeal to all news clicks readers viewers those who live in the national capital region those who live nearby and those who don't live nearby but who can come to Delhi come there what is the aim of it you know we don't believe that any one march or any one rally will yield a transformational result it's a process the people who came to Mumbai they had their demands most of their demands accepted and they still have to fight every day to see them implemented that is one but we think that simply the holding of a special session of parliament on an issue of poor people that will be a historic preceded now I don't expect that they will immediately do it there obviously this parliament will already be in session when this comes but we are demanding that every MP who claims to be pro-farmer let him come and sign the petition for the special session let him or her march with farmers towards boat club or wherever they will stop it that's that's one thing second I think what makes this different from the earlier marches from the September 5 which was a wonderful event August 9 2017 yeah so what makes this different is that you are broadening the spectrum to bring in the middle classes the working class a lot of people who don't go to rallies and political meetings and things like that so on on it's like what Baba Adav said I will not forgive you if you stop on the 30th now what has happened is without much you know too much from us groups have formed, Patna has formed nation for farmers meeting on 23rd Bangalore convened 3 meetings and the last meeting was there made one of Karnataka's most famous progressive writers Bharaguru Ramchandrappa the convener and the very simple democratic process I think it's also good in a boost to democratic you know discussion and functioning what we do is whoever comes for the convening meeting is part of the convening committee they formed they choose their convener none of us will interfere in that so you will get diverse groups and chapters in different places many of whom I don't know we are finding it hard to keep pace and write that now the thing is that the middle classes begin a talking to farmers and about farmers that you know I think if lawyers if now students for farmers the WhatsApp groups are buzzing DU for farmers it's WhatsApp group for us so likewise in other professional and other occupational groups the process in the last 30 years if I ask a supreme court lawyer or I ask a well known journalist when did you last sit down and talk to a farmer or a labourer there is an embarrassed sheepish silence which I have found at every meeting of the middle class that I have spoken on this subject restoring that atomization that neoliberal economic policy has brought driving us very far away from the miseries of the countryside the labourer the farmer that and now the industrial worker coming in it creates a very different discourse that the word farmer agrarian crisis labourer women's rights all these things start coming together so we believe nation for farmers will continue on the initiative of those who form those groups and there will be some universities teachers students will be talking to farmers about farmers and thereby changing our own consciousness my appeal is this is not the culmination it's a beginning come there and you will leave from there with a different way of thinking that's all the time we have to design we will be following the march closely and we will cover it extensively thanks a lot thank you for watching NewsClick

Well, hello everyone and welcome to another video of Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform featuring our partner ecosystem. My name is Dave Muir. I'm a principal solutions architect here at Red Hat focused on our security ISVs. And in this demo, I plan to show an integration between Sneak Container and Red Hat OpenShift, which empowers developers to easily find and fix vulnerabilities in containers within your OpenShift workloads. So we'll take a look at the Sneak and Red Hat Solution Overview. I'll give you a little bit of an architecture overview of the integration. And then we'll jump right into a demo of Sneak Container for OpenShift. Thinking about DevSecOps and where Red Hat and our partners fit in, you can see Sneak is very complementary to the left-hand side of a DevOps pipeline, taking care of a lot of the application analysis or vulnerability and configuration, management, security functions that you need to think about in a journey to DevSecOps. And then you can see on the right-hand side, Red Hat covers a lot of the security methods in the running cluster. More specifically, Sneak helps you to shift security left and test images as they're created in the IDE. In source code management, Sneak helps you to link container images to their Dockerfiles and OpenShift configurations. Within CICD, you can integrate Sneak directly into your pipeline and use policies to break builds based on vulnerability discoveries. And in your container registries, you can scan images and continue to monitor for newly disclosed vulnerabilities. And then in the orchestration and running cluster, Sneak helps you to monitor those running container workloads within OpenShift pods. If we take a look at the Sneak container on Red Hat OpenShift architecture, you'll notice that Sneak has a certified operator. And when you deploy that operator, it can deploy a Sneak monitor, which can either be cluster scoped or namespace scoped. And once deployed, it will scan the images that are found within your cluster or the namespace that you specify. Those scan results are then uploaded to the Sneak backend and we'll be able to view results in the Sneak UI. And we will all see this in the demo, which I'll go to right now. All right, I'll jump on over to Red Hat OpenShift container platform. And the first thing I wanted to show you is the Sneak operator in the operator hub. So you can see there's a marketplace version, a community version, and then the certified Sneak operator shown here. If you're using RHPDS, this operator is already installed and that it'd be installed in a Sneak monitor project. You'll find that here and installed operators. And in this specific instance, the Sneak monitors are namespace scoped, which means we have installed the monitor on all the user projects that are created for the demo or workshop that you're planning to use. So for example, if we go to user one and look at workloads, you can see there's an instance of Sneak monitor running here alongside an example demo application called Goof, which is a web application that uses a Mongo database. And this helps to show the capabilities of Sneak. Now, as I mentioned previously, the Sneak monitor can either be namespace scoped or cluster scoped. If it is cluster scoped, there's just one deployment of Sneak monitor which will test all the running workloads on every namespace or every project within your OpenShift cluster. These Sneak monitor containers communicate with the OpenShift API to determine which workloads are running, and it scans them and it sends results back to the Sneak server. You can scan all sorts of OpenShift workloads, deployments, deployment configs, daemon sets, jobs, replication controllers, pods. And to import those workloads into the back-end Sneak server, you can either select the workloads in the Sneak UI or they can be imported automatically using annotations. So if we take a look at the Goof deployment, we have annotated this deployment with the appropriate Sneak annotation so that those results are imported automatically. Okay, let's jump over to the Sneak UI and view the scan results. You can sign up for free at sneak.io. I'm actually part of the Red Hat Partner Organization. And if we go to the Projects tab, you'll see a list of deployments or projects that have been recently automatically imported from the cluster we just deployed. If we expand User 5, Project here, you'll see a list of images used by this workload and for workloads with multiple images. The top row aggregates the count of vulnerabilities across all those images. Now if we click the workload link itself, we can see details around the security posture of the workload configuration here on the top right. Let's return to the Project tab and click the actual image name under User 5. If we scroll down, we can see the list of issues ordered by Sneak's priority score. Each card represents a vulnerability and displays things like the issue type, informative links, the sneak and tell database, details on possible remediation if available, this new feature around if this vulnerability is trending or not in Twitter. Let's go up and switch to the Dependencies tab here. And we can see the container's dependency tree and these expand to show you what transitive dependencies were brought in. Now let's return to the Issues tab here. And then just scroll up and we can see recommendations for upgrading the base image here. Sneak presents base image upgrade guidance grouped by how likely they are to be compatible with the application. So minor upgrades are the most likely to be compatible with little work. Major upgrades can introduce breaking changes depending on the image use. And then you might see alternative architecture images that are shown for more technical users to investigate. One final thing to note here is that a benefit of using Sneak Monitor to monitor your running workloads is that once these projects are imported into the UI, Sneak will continue to monitor the workload and retesting for issues as new images are deployed and the workload configuration changes. Okay, that does it for a quick demo. I wanted to jump back to the presentation and just show you again the architecture of Sneak Container on Red Hat OpenShift. So we saw that Sneak operator. It deployed the Sneak Monitor. In the case that you saw, it was namespace scoped. So you saw Sneak Monitor pods in every user project that we had. And once images are deployed, Sneak Monitor will scan those images and then send those results back to the Sneak backend where we saw a bunch of great stuff like the security posture of the workload, the vulnerabilities that are found in the image, the dependency tree and the transitive dependencies. And this is all backed by Sneak's Intel database. Okay, I'd like to thank everyone for watching this demo of Sneak Container on Red Hat OpenShift. To learn more about this demo, please head on over to demo.openshift.com or the Red Hat page on sneak.io. Take care, everyone.


I'm Brent Graber, Director of Information Technology. One of the things that I heard repeatedly growing up was that work is hard enough as it is, don't make it harder than it needs to be. I spent the last 20 years at AMBS trying hard to make work easier. When the pandemic hit in March and we found ourselves working from home and switching to online education, I was able to spend my time supporting teachers and students and employees who found themselves in new working and studying patterns. And I did not have to spend my time building new systems to support the technical elements of that endeavor. But none of this is possible without your continued support. Thank you. Please consider making a year-end donation to AMBS.


Okay, so we are back now, there will be a stream of lightning talk sessions. We have three of them, unless someone else steps forward. And the first speaker is Philippe. Hi, I'm Philippe from Khan Concepts. I'm involved in a nice project called Exploits, and you'll notice the D, not the T. What's Exploits? The long title is Exquisite Privacy Preserving Cost-Intuition Detection System. So what do we want to do? We want to have some cost-intuition detection system, or some machine, and we want to do some privacy-intuitive data collection and analysis. And it's a research project together with the University of Bresden and Leipzig and some other corporate partners. And sorry, I haven't had the time to translate it, but I will do my best. So that's the big overview. And what I'm currently working on is this gray area, which is F4RE. And another virtual machine monitor called the UBMM. There will also be some intrusion detection system hardware in front of the machine. So you have the virtual machine on one side, you have the virtual machine monitor below, and then you have the Linux running in that virtual machine. And if the Linux is attacked, then you want to buy some exploit by any attack vector, you want to detect that. And then you want to switch on some sensors to see, okay, now we get attacked and now we want to log as many information as possible about this attack to be able to essentially replay the attack. And to see, detect the vector of intrusion. And so, therefore, to detect all that, we have, the greatest plan is to have some sensors in the virtual machine. So it's not the concept that you are not detectable by the attacker. The concept is that you can even then detect the attacker and log what he's doing. So you have sensors in different levels in the operating system, and then as current module, you have some system services, and you have the application value, you have some logging capabilities, like, for example, the ZAH of the UT in Dresden, then you have two common points here, which profiles an application and it's something that you can detect that somebody is fiddling with that application. And then we get to the privacy preserving part, you have some posts running that virtual machine, and you have there the sensor injection, so you say, all right, I want to collect this data, that data, and the virtual machine monitor, and the kernel module, the Unix guest system supports the injection of that sensor so you can communicate and get more data, and then you extract the data and you want to keep the data as anonymous as possible to detect. So that's to be able to replay that attack. So that's ongoing research by the UT in Dresden's data security group, and then you want to anonymize the data and get it off the host because you don't want your, even in the case that your host is compromised, then you still want to keep the data and be able to replay the attack. The replaying thing is important, so you have a backend of the network, where you do forensic analysis, where you do graph analysis of the data you collected, then you may decide which sensors to switch on and off. And then there's the whole other part of that project, which targets that you can reuse the data and visualize that to allow a judge to understand what happened. So that the judge can understand who was the attacker, how did it, how did it, and so that you can come to a good sentence or a good outcome of that process. It's not only the micro-currency virtualization part of all this, it's also the privacy preserving. It has some database which allows to do data mining on encrypted data, and it's the visualization and explanation to a non-tacky person how this all happened. That's the project I'm going to work on. With our girls, we call our virtual machine monitor to the MD64 platform, so we have several virtualization solutions called our virtual machine monitor, which is for ARM, for MIPS, and now for MD64. We want to do some disrespecting and debugging of virtual machines in the shutting, and there's also some out-of-the-verting involved in the form of an FPGA, which can do memory accesses and development ideas that can do memory accesses and extract the data without helping to see you or develop a couple of problems including the photography and the anonymization and send it off to the database and we will observe it. Yeah, let's explore the problem. And if you have questions, I will be around later. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. So our next speaker and the presenter of the next lightning talk is... Hello. So this is my head project. It's very experimental, very unfinished, so give that a mind. First, for a little motivation, I primarily work on Helanoff's micrometer operating systems. It supports many platforms. It also supports, still, I don't know why, in Toshida Slash 4G architecture. And the problem with that is that LLVM and by extension Rust doesn't support that architecture. The support that did exist is, I think, kind of broken and completely maintained. So it's a real option to use it for anything that needs to be reliable. And that means we have to find some way to get Rust on Helanoff's that can cope with this problem. One of the options is, of course, to just ignore the architecture. The other option is to ignore the Rust. But I opted for the option and I tried to solve this by building Rust to WebAssembly with its supports and then translate the WebAssembly to C and compile the C as you normally would in the application. WebAssembly is a binary distribution format developed primarily for use on the web. It is basically a virtual instruction set architecture. It has a set of instructions and it has execution semantics for Rust. It is designed to be secure, which is important for us because of reasons. And it is quite simple, actually. It is easy to work with and since it's generally a web technology, it is also basically lots and lots of users. And there are tools existing to work with this format. It is technically a very structural machine which, to some, evokes certain problems, but in this case, the stuckness of it is basically a representation metaphor. It doesn't really depend on there being a stack of values. It directly translates to static allocation. So you can just go through the code and make static variables from those slots on the stack. So this doesn't really make it any worse than, say, LLVM and compared to LLVM, this is portable, this is completely platform neutral, where LLVM basically doesn't even compile something to LLVM. You cannot run it on another platform than what it was compiled from. The LLVM bytecode is still specific to some architecture, even if it's not fully compiled yet. Whereas when you compile to WebAssembly, you really can run it everywhere. And it is exactly synoptics, exactly the behavior. And one of the important things is also that it basically supports checking memory accesses very simply. It's a built-in. So you don't have to worry about that. For example, if your system lacks memory management or, for example, you don't even have NMU, you can still WebAssembly problems, programs, binaries, compiled that you don't trust at all. You can be sure that they don't access anything they shouldn't trust. You already know there was a presentation before, and I've explained some of it. It has LLVM backend, so parts of WebAssembly, natively. And it is interoperable with CAPI, which when compiled to WebAssembly translates to imports. WebAssembly has a native concept of imported functions, which is what you can use here. So when you translate WebAssembly to C, you, as I said, set slots and add to local variables directly. There is no explicit set manipulation. Most instructions are not understood by the translator at all. I need to understand some basic things like control flow, for example, loops, branches, that kind of stuff. Most instructions, you just need to know how many spec slots they consume and how many are stored, which is currently 0 or 0.1. So, as you can see here, for example, the add instruction for the 64-bit integer gets translated to something like this. It just takes the variables corresponding to the stack slots, calls a function on it. That function, you can define it any way you want. You can make it an inline function in the same module as the generated code, for example, so that the compiler inlines it. And imported functions get translated to extensive functions, of course, so you can easily call functions and basically any API you want to expose or can expose with C code. For this, you can't directly pass pointers between the assembly code and native code, but you can make bindings, which take care of that. And this is part of the safety requirements that you can't just pass any pointer. That pointer is indexed to some local span of memory, and in the background. And as I said, the translator itself is very simple. It's just a few hundreds of lines of code, and it's quite crude, but GCC can optimize most of it away, so it doesn't have performance in it. And it is very flexible because, as I said before, most instructions are just calls to separate bindings, so you can define, for example, if you want to really check some operations, check number of accesses you can. If you don't want to check number of accesses, you also can. It just depends on the way you implement those C-shims. That's pretty much it. No more slides. I don't know how much time I spent. Okay, so that's it. If you have any questions, you can ask me later. Thanks for listening.


The Bemidji Figure Skating Club has been part of the community for 50 years. This past weekend, they wanted to give back by hosting their first-ever Skatathon, reporter Shamile Moore, has that story for this week's In Focus. An afternoon on the ice turned out to be a big success for the Bemidji Figure Skating Club. The first-ever Skatathon was held this past weekend. There were open skate sessions and then a few performances from each of the dancers. Five-time Minnesota State champ and Olympic hopeful Ren Warnie Jacobson opened with a breathtaking performance. She got her start right here in Bemidji. I took my first steps on the ice right here, so when I was five and a half and I just fell in love with it. I loved skating and just feeling the wind in my face when I could go fast. The Skatathon wasn't just to showcase some fabulous skills. The night was meant as a fundraiser to help the future Olympic team. With the Olympics coming up in February, they had decided to create something called Destination Pyeongchang, and that is for the families of the U.S. Figure Skaters to be able to travel to Korea. They just asked clubs around the country if they would just hold a Skatathon. So we just thought we were up for the challenge. The Skatathon had everything today, from Olympic hopefuls and big jumps to even a skating Santa. Ho, ho, ho! Skating is a lifelong sport. They'll be able to skate their whole life as recreationally or competitively into college or dance lines or figure skating lines. And if you ask any of the dancers, they'll agree there's nothing like being on the ice. My favorite thing about skating is probably the ice shows I've been praying for all. They're just so fun to perform for the community and everyone who wants to come. When I go out there and I can just express myself and skate to the music, it's just my favorite thing in the world and I love it. The Bemidji Figure Skating Club is getting ready to partner with the U.S. Figure Skating for their get-up program in February. They say the night wouldn't have been possible without their sponsors. We're starting to get a little name for ourselves. People from Minneapolis like to come up to Bemidji because it's a fun place to come and then their girls will take some tests and compete. And if you're thinking about hitting the ice, Rin says if you fall, never be afraid to get back up. Never give up. It can be hard sometimes. They're ups and downs, but just remember that you can do this and keep believing. In Bemidji with this week's In Focus, Cheryl Moore, Lakeland News.

This is already the last day of the 15th edition of the World Policy Conference. What were the highlights of this edition for you? I think that the world this year is more complicated than it ever was in the last 15 years. The first edition actually was at the very moment of the Lehman Brothers crisis. Since then everything has been in trouble for some reason or another. And this year is particularly complicated. I think that this edition has been a great success because we had good people on most of the subjects who could speak in a realistic way. That is, we put I think an ideology aside and we try to understand what the big issues are, what the outcomes can be. And also we did that I think in spirit, in the spirit of the WPC, which is to develop a mutual understanding. And even though we want to be realistic, we want also to bring solutions, we want to bring ideas to bring some hope and in the spirit of governance. That is, even though the world is more and more divided, fragmentation everywhere and so forth and so on, there is a deep shared understanding that cooperation, that is organized governance, is absolutely necessary for the survival of the world. So this is what I take essentially. We had a minister of Ukraine yesterday. We had a lot of local ministers also here from the region. What would be the one topic that you have in mind? We had talked a lot about climate change also this edition. There was a new theme that was split up during this conference. Geopolitics are already there for a lot of... But it was very different this year. That was very different. But just to take issues such as technological issues, such as food security, these kind of topics are very interesting because they force everybody to think positively. In terms of solutions? In terms of solutions. And whether you are an intellectual or a business person or a politician, everybody can understand that food security is something that has to be managed. And it combines objective necessity with a certain idealism, a certain humanistic approach to the world. So you have to be positive. Talking about the climate change, it's the same because 2022, in my judgment, is very important because this is perhaps the first year that everyone in the world is feeling concretely what it means. All of us, you, me, our friends around us, all of us understand that something is really changing. And we could also see the catastrophes in Pakistan, for instance. So we have to do something. And so there is a sense of positive actions, if I can say so, which is emerging for this kind of discussions among people of good will, people who do not want to show that they are the best, the brightest and so forth and so on, but they understand in a way that they are all in the same boat and that we have to organize ourselves to survive. Would you dare to say what the topics will be for the next edition? Or is the world changing so fast right now? And COVID, we hadn't seen it coming. Energy prices, Ukraine? The world is changing fast, but you have invariance, peace and war. It's something that has always existed. Of course, the Ukraine war is very important. It is likely to continue in the next few months. So next year, I think that this subject will be also on the front page, so to speak. But major economic issues. We spoke a lot about economic development, financial governance and these things. We spoke about these things in a positive way. Absolutely. And these topics will be still there with us. So you have a number of topics that are here to stay. Will we have a major event in between that would force us to see things in a slightly different way? It is possible. I think we are, for the next few years, we are likely to have surprises perhaps at least one every year. By the way, we had also very interesting sessions on health, global health and health, global health governance. Now we all understand that COVID-19 is not finished, is not over and perhaps will never finish. But we now have a full understanding that other pandemics are very likely. And somebody said this morning, they are unpredictable, but it will happen. Therefore we have to organize ourselves now to be able to react very quickly when something is happening. But things will happen in the next few months, in the next few years. So the aim of the WPC is to discuss these subjects objectively enough to contribute to organize proper reactions to all these unforeseeable things that can happen. See you next year then with different topics. And with the same, at the same time, both different and the same. And we have to stay on speaking terms in the meanwhile. I would say that's also the deal. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Merci. Thank you. Merci.


Hello, everybody. Hooded Cobra Commander 788 here, and I'm starting a brand new feature on this channel. Every Wednesday I will review a G.I. Joe comic book. That's the G.I. Joe Real American Hero series, published by Marvel Comics, starting in 1982. And I know that other reviewers have done G.I. Joe comic books before, but hopefully I can bring something more to the table, something a little bit different with my background in political science and law. So hopefully this is something that will be worthwhile. And if you haven't read the G.I. Joe comic books, I hope this is something that will encourage you to do so. So let's get started with our first ever comic book Wednesday. We'll start our first comic book Wednesday with G.I. Joe number one. Of course, that's a good place to start. Let's start at the beginning. The copy of G.I. Joe number one that I'm reading from is in this trade paperback published by IDB Comics, called Classic G.I. Joe number one. It does not include a short story called Hot Potato, which was in the original G.I. Joe number one when it was published in 1982. So this review will not include that short story, just the main story. And let's start with the cover. The cover, of course, is a really nice design. It kind of has the G.I. Joe team, you know, leaping into action with the MOBAT tank in the background there. It's a nice action picture there. But what I really like about the cover is this little blurb here towards the right bottom of the cover that says the ultimate weapon of democracy. Now that may sound kind of cheesy to you. Maybe you think it's kind of corny to call your, you know, military team the ultimate weapon of democracy. It kind of harkens back to, I don't know, the arsenal of democracy or other things like that that we may remember from history class. But I really like it because, in a way, it kind of sets the tone for the whole series. I mean, this is not just a mindless action comic book. This is not Rambo. This is not violence for its own sake. There is, I think, some idealism represented in this series. And they put it right on the front cover. So let's go ahead and talk about G.I. Joe, our ultimate weapon of democracy. The story opens with Dr. Adele Burkhart on a train. She's being protected by some secret service agents. And the exposition tells us that she is the nation's top nuclear physicist. And she is going to testify before Congress about a Doomsday project. She said that she was deceived into working on this Doomsday project, deceived by the military. And she's going to tell the truth. She is a whistleblower. And honestly, though, if she's right, if she was essentially tricked into working on this Doomsday project, she has justification for being upset. The whole idea of a Doomsday weapon is a weapon that is so horrendous that you can't use it. And she even says that the purpose was to wipe out all life on Earth. It's really a horrendous project. And so she's justified in being upset about that. And so she's going to be a whistleblower. She's going to testify about what she knows about this. Now, the whole idea of the Doomsday weapon has been addressed in other media. A couple of good movies about the idea. There's one movie called Failsafe. It's a Henry Fonda movie. It's really good. If you haven't seen that, I suggest you take a look at it. And of course, Dr. Strangelove used that concept to more of a comedic effect. Still another really good movie, but very different from the Henry Fonda movie. I suggest that you see both. So anyway, Dr. Burkhardt, she's kidnapped by the Baroness. And one thing that is strikingly different between the comic book and the cartoon series that came later is here, right at the beginning of the story, we have real bullets, real guns. We even have a panel here where we have a secret service agent down. So this is a real firefight that has real consequences. So as a reader, I'm starting to get invested in this story. The excitement is starting to ramp up. And so we're ready to really go into the adventure. Before we really get going with the adventure, though, we've got some things to set up here. We've got to be introduced to our GI Joe team. We get a little bit of exposition in the Pentagon with some dialogue between a couple of generals, one of which is General Flag, who will become somewhat famous in this series, and General Austin. And they talk about the situation with Dr. Burkhardt, and it's suggested that, you know, they're really better off with her dead. So, you know, why not have a half-hearted rescue mission that fails? The doctor dies so she can't give her nuclear secrets to Cobra, and everybody's better off. But it's implied, though, that there is an executive decision that it needs to be a successful rescue mission. They can't leave her in the hands of Cobra because she might give up her secrets, which Cobra could use to build their own Doomsday weapon. But if she were to die during a rescue, that would cause some embarrassment to the military and no doubt to the President's administration. So it's got to be a real rescue mission, and it really needs to be successful. And there's only one team that can do it, and that's the GI Joe team. From there we get to meet the GI Joe team themselves, and we've got a training montage that's worthy of James Bond. I love the training scenes because it shows again that this is a team with substance. It's not just an action team that just does battle.  This feels like a real elite military team. They train, they plan, and so we get to see that. The real brilliance of Larry Ham as approach to this is it brings the reader in to not just the battle, but the planning and the training as well. And I love that as a kid, and I still like it, like seeing it as an adult. We have a briefing on the mission. Again, we get brought into the planning phase and not just the battle. That helps us invest not only in the characters, but also the story. And one important part of this scene is when Hawk gives Shortfuse a civics lesson. Shortfuse kind of suggests that Adele Burkhart is a traitor, but Hawk reminds Shortfuse that the Constitution guarantees every American the right to disagree with the government.  That is a moment in the comic book that it didn't have to be there. It doesn't move the action forward. And probably it wouldn't have been noticed had it been left out. But I'm so glad that it's there. Because it reminds us that, you know, there is something, there's something larger that these people are fighting for. We're not just rooting for the green shirts versus the blue shirts. We're rooting for the good guys. And in order to do that, our team, our GI Joe team, needs to actually be the good guys. They need to be fighting for some kind of ideal that's greater than what, you know, Cobra is fighting for. Another interesting thing is that Snake Eyes, who uses sign language and communicates through Scarlet, suggest that why don't they just send in a bunch of B-52s, bomb the place, and then it'll solve all of their problems. This is a little bit surprising to hear from Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes is a very sympathetic character. As this series goes along, we really feel for Snake Eyes because we see that his life is accompanied by a lot of tragedy. So he's a very sympathetic character. It's a little bit jarring for him to suggest that the solution to the situation is to essentially just kill the hostage. However, if you think about what kind of person Snake Eyes would be behind that mask, and he's a stone-cold killer. He is a trained killer. He's a highly-skilled military man who's seen a lot of combat and violence is second nature to him. So maybe it's not so surprising for Snake Eyes to make such a suggestion, but it is strange for that suggestion to come from Snake Eyes, a character that we all kind of fall in love with and have a lot of sympathy for as the comic book series goes on. When the comic book gets back to Cobra, we get a better glimpse at Cobra Commander and the Baroness, and one thing that we notice right away is that we are dealing with a highly intelligent enemy.  He's got a great mind for a strategy. He knows what the GI Joe team is going to do before they do it, and he has a plan. So I really like that. This is not just, you know, a cartoon enemy. This is a formidable enemy for the Joe team, and so it's going to be exciting to see what happens when, you know, they finally confront each other. There's a scene in which Cobra Commander looks out over his troops, and they are carrying banners with the Cobra symbol on them and their information, and the allusions to the Nazis is pretty evident. I mean, if you miss the parallels between Cobra and the Nazis, then, you know, they're really trying to drive it home here. Essentially, instead of carrying swastikas, they carry banners with Cobra symbols, but other than that, they're Nazis. So in case you missed it, Cobra's equal Nazis. So there's really no mistake on who the bad guys are. There's really no moral ambiguity there. As the first Joe team does their work on the island, we get to see Scarlet and Snake Eyes working together, and I really like that. They work so well as a team. They seem to approach these situations as equals. They are both highly skilled martial artists. They are experienced commandos, and this is something that I think was very progressive that was happening in the G.I. Joe comic book, because women in the military at that time, and to a large extent now, as a matter of policy, are not allowed in combat. They are not sent in combat situation. That is not evident at all in G.I. Joe. There are women in the G.I. Joe team, and they just send them out into combat situations like anyone else. And so it's really nice to see that. You know, growing up as a kid, I never would have guessed that, you know, women were not assigned to combat roles, because I saw women fighting bravely and courageously and effectively in the G.I. Joe comic book. That's just how I expected the world to be. The attack on the island gives us a lot of great action sequences when the infantry team attacks the airfield, and when the vehicle team with the tank and the vamp and the motorcycle all, you know, come in and storm the beach. That's, you know, a great action scene. But the comic book takes a really dark tone when it's revealed that Cobra has wiped out an entire island village. They've killed every man, woman, and child. It's really extremely dark.  It's really exceptionally sick, even more so than you would expect from an admittedly evil organization like Cobra. I think that it's a really, a surprisingly dark scene to put in a comic book that is meant to sell toys to children. But I'm glad that it's there. One of the things that I loved about the comic book when I was a kid reading it is that it didn't treat me like a child. When I was reading the comic book, I felt very grown up, because it was showing me situations like this where, you know, this village is wiped out by Cobra.  It dealt with a lot of other situations that really made me feel like, more like an adult reading the comic book. I really felt like it wasn't dumbing things down for me. And it starts right there from the first issue with this really dark scene, a scene almost of genocide. Just an aside, we do have a famous panel in this issue on the page in my copy that's marked page 27 and it's in panel number three. It's this panel that also appears on one of the toys. It's a sticker on the 1983 GI Joe headquarters command center. It's kind of interesting that they chose that particular panel to, you know, slap on one of the toys. So when the Joes finally stormed this castle in which Dr. Burkhardt is being held, again she shows her courage when she essentially throws herself at Cobra commander who's holding a gun to her and she gets shot in the arm essentially sacrificing her own body to try to help the people who are there to rescue her. So of course she does escape and the GI Joe team gets out of the fortress just below before it blows up. Cobra commander, the Baroness, escape. And there's the resolution I guess as they're flying in a Cobra helicopter. The GI Joe team is flying in a Cobra helicopter away from the island in which Dr. Burkhardt says that she still believes that her political actions are justified but she says that, you know, somewhere it's nice to know that somewhere in the Pentagon there are people who care. Well Dr. Burkhardt, you are both right and wrong. You are completely justified in your political actions. I think that you are taking the ethical stance in that situation but at the same time, I'm sorry, the people in the Pentagon who sent the GI Joe team to rescue you, they don't care. They didn't do it because they care. They did it out of self-interest. They did it to avoid their own embarrassment if something bad actually happened to you. The main thing that I take away from this issue is my respect for Dr. Burkhardt. I'm actually really glad that we get to see Dr. Burkhardt again in a later issue. She does turn up again in the GI Joe storyline. But, I mean, a lot of the GI Joe team members don't like her. She's seen as almost a villain herself because she is opposed to the military. But you're allowed to be opposed to the military in America. This is a free country and so, yeah, of all the characters in this story, Dr. Burkhardt is actually my favorite. Overall, I think this comic book is very well constructed. It's a challenge to write something with this many characters in it and give everybody, you know, some, you know, time, some screen time basically and let them have some character development. That's a real challenge. But I think Larry Hama did a good job of this and continued to do well at this over the years as this comic book series went on. But I just think it's remarkable how complex the story was, how much emotional impact the story had, how dark it was in certain points. For a comic book that was just designed to sell toys. There is so much more in this comic book than had to be in the comic book in order to accomplish that. There is some real artistry in here. There is some real thought behind this story. And that's why I loved this as a kid and I still enjoy it going back and reading it now and I'm looking forward to continuing these reviews. So that's my review of GI Joe number one. Look for a review of GI Joe number two next week on our next comic book Wednesday.


Good morning folks, Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of sunny Delray Beach, Florida. This is your 11 a.m. update. We've got a bit of a mixed bag out there. The mix is coming from the semis, which are trading down 23 points, about 8-tenths percent. Otherwise, the other U.S. Indices trading to the upside. Dow's up 192 or about 6-tenths, 8-tenths for the S&P, 33 points, 1-tenths for the NASDAQ 100, 205 points, the Russell is flat, Gold is off $4, Silver is down to penny, Light's recruit is up $0.12, natural gas is up a penny, and the 30 Treasury down 1.9 ticks, trading out a $1.30-14. Let's try to figure out what all that means by looking at that 9-panel. Market update chart. We begin with the EES mini. The EES mini is trading below the bottom of its daily profile. That becomes resistance. That's at $41.18, all $41.19, the high of the day so far, $41.15. So we know on a daily basis the EES mini is approaching resistance. And that's going to be important during the Trader's Edge show. We'll go take a look at the intraday charts, see if we see topping signals as a daily timeframe is getting up to a resistance level. Now, the spot ball of 2x, well below its 50-day exponential moving average, that is always a bullish signal for the S&P 500. The NQ is attempting to form a new profile. That new profile says things are bullish because this profile is above the prior profile, higher lows and a higher high. Nonetheless, there's trendline resistance right at the top of that daily profile. That's up at the $13.199 level. Now, I won't get confirmation on this profile until this evening, but it's been pretty solid. It's been holding all morning long. If we take a look at the U.S. Dollar Index running at trendline resistance, consolidating within its profile has support at the $100.95 level. That's the bottom of that daily profile. Gold and silver consolidating within their profiles, finding support at their bullish-structured zones. In the case of gold, it's between 1974 and 1982. No, that's correct. 1974, 1980, that's correct. And with regard to the silver, it's between 2466 and 2487. Particularly the lights we include, most likely this is going to go target the bottom of its weekly profile. That's at $72.77. Natural gas back below the bottom of its daily profile as well. It's still trading into its swing point from a trading session back on April the 14th out there. A close below 2.316 or 2.321 would suggest that perhaps natural gas is going to go back and test that low. With regard to the 30-year treasury, she's back inside her profile levels with bullish-structured support between 129.17 and 129.31. Folks, stay tuned for the Trader Zed Show. If you'll have to start your Thursday, please have a terrific one. Thanks so much for joining us. Be safe out there. We'll look forward to speaking with you again soon. Take care.


Let's start with something easy somebody had asked in the room how do I adjust my charts because I had told them hey there's something wrong with your charts your charts are what I call flat if your charts look like this it's not supposed to look this way so I'm going to show you guys a quick tip on how to fix that okay so if your charts start to look a little bit odd again everything that we do here is about visualizing price your charts should not look like this okay this is flat if you don't know that that's flat then you haven't seen enough of our setups but you should be looking at my screenshots other screenshots from other members at the same time take everything that you see from a member with a grain of salt you see say you know you see a member like having success and their charts look like this you know you may not want to necessarily go with what they're doing here your charts should not look like this so how do you adjust some charts I'll do some quick ones here tonight and we have videos on all this stuff so if you're wondering like well hey you know what's he talking about or I'm not going to catch all this tonight that's fine we actually have full videos around each of these topics one of the first things I want to talk about is being able to grab this right-hand price column okay this is the price of the stock okay this whole column right here I'm going to grab it by left-clicking LC for left-click and I'm going to drag it I'm gonna click right here I'm going to drag it down and look what it does you see how it's flattening out the bars and I'm gonna go up and I'm gonna let go I'm gonna grab it down again I'm going to click and I'm gonna drag down and you see what this does right it's just bringing everything in squeezing it down to almost absolutely nothing now I can see I've got some drawing objects down here which reminds me of another thing I'm gonna tell you guys tonight control R I would bind the control R for remove to remind yourself to remove all drawing objects I just hit control R and I'm gonna click yes boom easy way to remove all those drawing objects if you've been drawing things on your charts with Fibonacci levels or any other levels and you just want to erase everything quickly control R now that's not the fault out of the box you will have to change that in your hotkeys settings go and type in Vinny many hotkeys and go watch through our hotkeys video on some of that so same thing I can drag up and I can widen my stuff so there you go you see how I'm doing that that is dragging it up and down so practice that do it on your charts right now grab it get used to this you're gonna need to be able to widen your charts sometimes to see things a little bit clearer you need to be able to have your charts adjusted so that you see everything everything here that we do is very visual and of course we do incorporate all the senses we have the audio box to also involve your senses of your your hearing senses but the visuals are extremely extremely important alright if I drill that home enough great another one hold the control key CTRL okay next thing hold control and I want you to do the same thing hold control and I want you to click right there again and drag it down and watch the difference between holding control versus just click and drag you saw what click and drag does that's in and out but now if I hold control and you might have a situation where you know price is way down here but you kind of maybe want to move that up so that the price kind of comes up here this is what the control does I'm gonna hold control now and watch what happens if I click control I'm gonna click control and you see how now rather than widening it I can literally move the entire thing up and down okay try this for yourself right now hold control slide it up and down you got it that's one now someone had said well there are other ways to do that yes in fact my preferred way I like to use the control again control does a lot of cool things control and then I want to use the control up or control down this will zoom in and zoom out as well but this is a little bit different this one you'll notice I'm getting less bars right some people in fact the image that I just saw in someone else's was not from the squeeze in like we talked about before although you can see how I can still make this bigger or smaller now you can tell my price is down here so I'm gonna do it when hold control and I'm gonna drag it up I would just play with your charts for a little bit in doing these different things that I'm telling you till you get just very familiar with doing it you just have to do this a bunch of times and then you won't even think about it and you'll just know okay like I might want to zoom this in okay cool now I can see stuff very clearly but you know this is still till two zoomed and we talked about that in a lot so I'm gonna hit control up up up up up up up there we go now that's how I get it now you can actually see the colors of my bars internally I actually have a nice little navy blue color hidden in there and sometimes you can't see because I have them generally I don't want to see that color it's another visual cue for me that I've got the proper zoom levels when I am in like this line is usually gonna be around here or right here is typically the level of zoom in that I am using so now same thing I'm gonna do I'm gonna drag it down and then I'm gonna hold control and I'm gonna drag it up okay this looks pretty good to me I'm gonna turn off my overlay for a moment you can kind of see how the chart might look I can tell I need to hit control up up up a few more times to bring in some more of that price from the left control up up up there you go now if you need to look to the left let's say that you are doing back tests and you want to go to the left one of the things of course yes you can drag it to the right you can grab the chart I'm just clicking on the chart and moving it to the right dragging it to the right and you know moving it left and right this is pretty easy but sometimes that gets annoying why you're sitting there okay I gotta drag way I want to go see the morning open right that's my very common thing I want to see the open from today go all the way to the left or you can hold the page up page up page up page there we go there's the open right there or I can hold the page down and go back to where I was page down and now it's gonna go multiple pages at a time so get used to a few of those short keys and hot keys someone was asking how do you adjust your charts and then pay attention up here at the top right whenever your charts get all messed up there are some things up here in the top right hand corner of your chart you want to pay attention to sometimes it's an arrow the arrow will bring all the data right back onto your screen that's one and sometimes you will see an F button that F stands for fix or for me I think that's what I call it I don't know they might have another name for it I call it the fix the fix it button the F button so I'm gonna click like this my chart gets all jacked up like this I may want to come up there and press the fix button you can see it right there which will this is sort of the auto fix button for you to kind of adjust things the way that it's called auto scale so I'm gonna go ahead and click on F boom and that is going to apply the settings that I have on my chart trader settings which again I got a whole another video on this but I'm gonna show you briefly and go here right click and go to properties on this chart and we will be able to see the margins right side margin is set to 100 and I believe that is 100 pixels not 100 bars although don't quote me on that it might be a hundred bars but my right side margin is set to 100 that means how much space I have over here on the right and I believe that say it looks like to me about 100 pixels over here it's how much space I need on the right if you want more space than that you can increase that number or decrease that number that's what happens when I pull like this so this looks like you know this might be a thousand pixels if you wanted yours like this you like a lot of space over here on the right you might want to adjust that right side margin if I press the fix it button it will put everything back to where I have that set the other one right click in that column price bar right click go to properties there we go inside of here I've got upper margins and lower margins this means how much space I've got at the top of my chart from the data and from the bottom of my chart right there these are all things that I just want you in general to be able to adjust quickly for yourself you should know how to do this overlay scale I wouldn't really necessarily worry about these but you can look at our default settings that I've got if you are pulling my work spaces which is going to be the next thing I'm going to show you how to get my my own set to you there we go there's your chart adjustments get familiar with those you want to play with those to make adjustments to your chart but you need to be able to be very familiar being able to move things around sometimes you need to zoom them in zoom them out depending on you know what you're doing with your trade and you need to be able to do it quickly because again as we're playing this like a video game move fast move fast move fast move fast so practice it practice it practice it so that it becomes second nature to you and you're not fumbling around when you really need to I'll give you one more alt will fatten your bars okay so first I'm going to zoom back out so you can actually see what our current bar thickness is you kind of get the general idea but watch what happens if I hold alt instead of control and this is going to be the alt key holding alt and then pressing the up arrow or the down watch what this does this is going to fatten your bars if you want thicker bars okay you can make them fatter you can make them skinnier and I usually leave them with a slight little overlay right about there but again take your take your pick on how you like them you know there's some discretion with that again I have suggestions for how you do it and I have a lot of reasons for that but if you want to play with them at least know what you're doing alt will change the thickness of your bars press the like button share subscribe and comment below with your thoughts and what you've learned
