I got a question from one of my clients in my mastermind group asking me to compare the squatting shoulder hang to the like sissy squat or squatting bar reach where you're holding on to something and squatting down. So in both of these you're actually holding on to something and squatting down. With the squat hang though you have more shoulder flexion. You get a little bit more lengthening of the latissimus dorsi, you get a little bit more lengthening of lower pec and in turn that increases the tension demands, the force demands on the abdominal muscles. Also in doing this though it's pulling me up opposing gravity. So I decrease the amount of tension or the amount of force that I need to produce in my lower body muscles. I decrease the importance that I'm placing or the challenge that I need on my interface between my feet and the ground. Now end goal is to optimize that interface, right? I don't walk around life holding on to stuff or at least I don't want you to have to do that. So eventually I want to get to some sort of body weight or even loaded squat variation where you can demonstrate that you have control of your lower body and upper body as you control how your body moves through space. Now to go back to these two example exercises that we were talking about. So let's think about somebody with a kyphosis, like a heavily rounded upper back. If I take the squatting shoulder hang and I consider that I have more shoulder flexion there, I have a greater extension torque to kind of oppose this kyphosis that's rampant. We could talk about the subtleties of kyphosis a little bit later on. I don't want to get into that right now but with the squatting shoulder hang it's generally a little bit more corrective for that. Whereas if I use something like a sissy squat where I'm holding onto a fixed object like the end of a rack or whatever and guiding myself down there, that's really good for especially elderly clients with strength deficits or maybe even otherwise physically able clients who have knee issues or back or hip issues. We use that a lot with clients like those. So that's just a little comparison between the two. Basically if you have a kyphosis and you kind of want to cue a slightly better pelvic position and rib position and thorax position then you might want to give a shot to the squatting shoulder hang kind of variation but don't neglect your more complex variations like just general squats. Maybe a plate squat, maybe a goblet squat with a heartbeat and maybe just a generic front squat. If you have any other questions leave them in the comments below and as always smash that like button please.


What is a budget? A budget is a plan for spending money. Why have a budget? A budget helps you know how you spend your money. It helps you to save money. How do we make a budget? We write down all of our income. We write down all of our expenses. We decide where we are spending too much money. Sometimes we can spend more money or we can save our money. How do we stick to a budget? We need to stick to a budget. We need to use our budget every day. We need to look at our budget regularly. The end.


All right, new submission is watches in full These are definitely Bigger changes, which I love the great. I think my comments would be Also checking your mail Generally, so I cut this off because you submitted it like this. Just be careful Because if you're gonna cut it off like that with a mask The foot is really close to the edge there So I would reframe this to be more like that. It's more comfortably framed and then I'm not sure Now that it breaks the shop, but I'm sure you need this beginning Into this was even this I feel like we see imagine this is The angle, but then you just go out If that makes sense you just zoom out and then zoom in or translate forward Instead of back and around because now you got legs overlapping and got a tangent right there We don't really see the other upper arm and everything else Versus when we're here Before he gets into this Imagine we would see the whole thing, you know down there You would see the structure of this you can even have or any bit more of a curved It gives you more of a self the spine more here all of that just feels so that why it's a bit better Just to start. I know that'd be my my fault there and Then I think the camera goes down a bit too soon kind of I know the couple things Generally, I feel like the camera is a bit too close But maybe it's because I find the animation awesome and I want to see more of it But what's happening now is that we go forward and now it's kind of again bit of tangent there cut off at the ankles It's like, okay, well maybe here because now we are in my crappily drawn thirds You mean that's okay But then we go here and it feels like what we only framing up is with the sword But he is technically the center of interest in a way unless this was like a big ball chain or something important here So now suddenly the framing is off because he's more centered and this kind of continues For quite some time like this I would understand more just because we have this cool action Although even during all of this you can probably still go there and even Get pretty close with that hand up there for the frame framing Here again, I feel like we're just cutting off right where that knee bend is give it a tangent So even here I would go up to be more in those thirds and that's okay And even here I will go back up here And then back here because again we ending here the tangent and his loops. Yeah, okay So that just to me is just in terms of just the staging and the camera and then as you continue I would still have a little keep alive something breathing or a little sidestep and you know, whatever you can do I know kind of wants to loop but It's just so static It just feels weird because it's we're just behind him and then the camera rotates and then the whole thing feels like okay now That's where we want to look at the action and then he goes back now if you're going well I want any late game and that would be Because we're behind the character and behind the character and this is kind of like a cutscene thing then okay Then I'll I'll buy that and I looked at the Assassin's Creed thing and the other clip I know it's that's what you want to go for but then I would almost go again a bit more like this and Then almost make a bigger deal out of it That makes sense Actions are cool. I love this Because it'd be cool to have it Well, I'm still wants to spline it out but I wouldn't stop too sharply maybe go a bit lower So really feel that kind of heaviness And I love that swing at the end Yeah, I mean again for me, it's it's more kind of the staging I love the actions I love that extra flair, which is great. You can even do something when he goes Yeah Now you twist So it almost looks like it's gonna twist the knife inside the guys before he does this like all those little flourishes and like doing extra Mean things to the character now what I would do though was you sent me this to is Put this as soon as you can the animation onto that character. I'm just concerned If I grab my tool here, you know still got there's a lot of stuff here I know this is soft But then you got the helmet and then there's just how how this plays in terms of the look because if you're having this now Then that's gonna change the silhouette as well in terms of the legs. You might have to push certain things and so on so I Would just check go back and forth between You know your your actual character and what are you doing this to see just how it feels what we see How it works silhouette wise you might have to add some lighting. You're saying you're gonna put this into Unreal here. Is that what you're saying here? Yes Yeah, rendered it on real so just kind of watch out in terms of your look in the lights and everything so that you Don't have to crazy intersections and stuff like that or like you know silhouette problems And that is that yeah other than that. I'm really not concerned about the animation This is all super cool that might be a more stuff once we see this blind But you do also have a lot of step keys here, so I'm not I'm not super concerned How this is gonna look like at the end, but it's so much better than the first version. I'll love this All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to Bitcoin daily today. We are doing a market analysis in five minutes So we're doing a five-minute quick market analysis. There's been a lot of movement today and yesterday So in the last 24 hours So let's just jump right in as you can as you guys can see Bitcoin is up about a percent and a half today up to 10,600 range Ethereum's up almost 2% back to the three three 45 range XRP is flat Bitcoin cash. It's pretty flat polka dot up 3% Binance not really much movement chain link guys chain link is back up to 11% Crypto up 1% and like coin barely moved So that's pretty much it for the top 10 and that's all we're gonna be covering today So let's go ahead and jump into the charts here. We're almost at the minute mark As you guys can see here After the drop it started going up and then because we're correlated with the stock market and right now We did see a drop in a continuation drop here Yesterday in the last 24 hours So we had that drop but today the stock market is green So we also got a green candle here as you can see we're all right on this support You see the support right here this support Started off in March of this year March 20 March 13 2020 That's the pandemics line. So this support has gone all the way up It supported it here and we're seeing that it's holding up here in Addition to the Fibonacci retracement line 61.8% so that's currently what we're watching right now If we're looking for an entry, we're looking probably to enter closer to the support at the 10,500 to 10,400 range If not, then we're looking for a breakout entry above 10,800 which is above This Fibonacci level the 50% Fibonacci level So we're looking at those are basically the two trades. We're looking at in Bitcoin at the moment Let's jump over to ethereum ethereum has a very very similar chart here As you can see we had the drop we had we had the the Fibonacci level support right here 61.8% which we were we've been testing in the last day and it looks like it's holding up so far So if you're looking for an entry here Probably looking at an entry above 350 Well, so you're looking at a support of around 330 ish to 320 320 330 ish is the support entry breakout entries above 350 and then another one above 360 Those are the two breakout entries your targets would be three your target will be 380 And 390 and 400 will be your three targets there In Bitcoin cash, like I said, there's not much movement not much going on I'm not gonna even waste time trying to trade it right now Same thing with litecoin just not not much movement to trade off of right now not really interested in it same pattern in XRP ripple not much going on pretty flat Until it gets back up here. I just have no interest Here we go chain link so I know a lot of you were worried about chain link It was drop and drop and drop in like if there was no end in sight But we did drop into the $7 range which I spoke about in the last analysis I did I said if you're looking to do a support entry $7 was your next support entry here Which is where we're currently at and I also told you guys if we dropped below $10 Sell my positions because we're probably dropping a $7 and look guys Wow Am I a magician or some sort of wizard guys? What in the world? But anyways, we're jumping back up right now We're right before this $10 support if you're looking for a breakout entry I would enter above $10 And then your targets are gonna be $11 12 13 and that's basically it Those would be your short-term targets there Looking at Tezzels Tezzels. It's just still just dropping guys. I just I'm just not interested in this right now I I just don't like it. So I'm not looking for an entry there Neo let's see where's Neo at Nio's at 21. So we're back above $20 $20 was the support there for the entry 19 was also a good support. So 20 to 19 was a support here And a breakout entry would be above $20. So if you're looking for a support entry now You're looking back within as close to $20 as possible for a breakout entry Probably looking above 22 almost at 23 So I probably wouldn't be looking for breakout entries right now Just cuz it's it's the the reward is not high enough or if you're entering a breakout entry at 23 You have a $3 Target and a $3 stop not not doesn't fit my criteria And that's it guys. That is the five-minute mark Five-minute mark mark. Oh my goodness. I can't say my words right today but but yeah, so we went over the Some of the top coins, you know, we don't always go into too much with these five-minute reviews But it's just to give you guys some trade ideas and on what you can see next Today is Thursday, I believe right today's Thursday. So we'll see what the market gives us tomorrow And tomorrow we have a tutorial coming out that we're working on But yeah, it's pretty much it guys. Please make sure to subscribe make sure to hit that follow make sure to drop a comment You know any ideas you guys have send them to us and we'll be doing a live stream at this weekend as well So man, we're on the ground. We're on the ball.  We'll keep grinding for you guys. Alright guys. Peace and love. Thank you


Do you like to support the little guy in the wine world? The small producers? Then maybe you should be back in cooperative wineries. We're going to talk all about it in this video. Oh, welcome back to Exotic Wine Travel, the show that helps you drink adventurously so you can expand your palate and expand your mind. I am your host, Matthew Horkey. We're all about expanding minds today, and I hope I can get people to refocus and revisit cooperative wineries. So what is a cooperative winery? A cooperative winery is made up of a group of wine growers that maybe don't have the capital or the knowledge or the expertise to make, sell, and market their own wines. So what do they do? They band together, strengthen numbers. Under one brand, everybody puts resources in and therefore you can make wine, bottle wine, and sell wine. You know, they became really popular after World War II, especially in the traditional wine making countries, you know, where farmers were basically poor, they couldn't afford to make or bottle their own wine, but they have vineyards that were passed down throughout the ages. So what do they want to do? They wanted to make wine still. It's a concept that really hits home for me because actually my father is a farmer. I remember when I was a little kid getting so excited as we'd pull in with our truck and the dump truck would tip and all the grain would rush out and I would just sit there and look at it. You might even be drinking a lot of cooperative wine and not even know it. You know, in Italy and France, more than 50% of the wine produces actually from cooperatives. In Spain, that number is even higher, although a lot of it gets sold out in bulk wine. And in Portugal, I think it's around 40%. The good cooperatives are branding different lineups of wines.  They look like just a normal wine brand.  You know, those cooperatives usually go out of business, but well-run cooperatives can produce some just fantastic wines. Like we're going to taste today everything from table wines to really, really high-class wines. A couple of my favorite wineries in Italy, Pretorio del Barbaresco producing amazing Barbaresco. We have Cantina Tarlan up in Alto Ajde producing incredible white wines and then Santadian Sardinia also doing really good work. So I've got a lineup here today. We are going to taste everything from Italy to Slovenia to Portugal. First up, I have the Vincchio Vaglio. This is the La Legenda Barbera di Asti 2019. This cooperative is located in Piedmont. I have been there before. They focus on Barbera, but they also produce small batches of Barbaresco, Barolo, some really good stuff. This is the type of wine I think that cooperatives do a great job of good ones. This Barbera di Asti retails around six euros in all of Italy. So that's one heck of a value. Now, not going to be expecting, you know, super blockbuster or 100-point type of wine, but if you're talking about delicious wine for a bistro, hey, I'm all about that, especially at that price. Good thing I have my trusty core of in here. I'm working on trying to get a discount code. I'll sort it out so you can get some. If it's done by the time this video is released, I'll put it in the description box. So I think Barbera, along with San Giovese, I talked about it in a recent episode, is one of the most food-friendly great varieties in the entire world. Same thing applies here. We're talking about sour cherry, cranberry-type notes, a little bit of mineral action. There's not wood on this wine, but it's a lot more complex than the six-year-old price tag might suggest. Nice little wine, fruity, juicy. It's something I definitely want to drink during lunch, during bistro. You can even serve it chilled. This is the stuff where cooperative winters can really win. It's really hard to find unless you're going for industrial wine, cheap wine, that's this good. In addition to that, again, you're supporting small growers. Next up, I have a cooperative from Slovenia. I think it's one of the... I think it might be the oldest seller in Slovenia, in Gratis Keborda. This is Kletberda, or basically in Gratis Keborda. They make a bunch of different ranges of wines. Everything from cheap supermarkets, more premium wines. This was kind of a one-off. I was really excited about this wine. This is the Mutnik single vineyard Rebola. 2014. This is a barrel fermented Rebola, also known as Rebola Gialla. This cooperative is made up of 480 producers.  Vigia Vagliocera, I think, I believe is around 180, if I'm correct. And that's why I went from red to white, because we went from a simple red. And we're going to move up to more complex wines. You know, Rebola or Rebola Gialla is known in Italy. It's considered to be an Italian grape. But there's actually more plantings right across the border in Slovenia, where it's become kind of a flagship grape. I actually just did an article on Slovenia and Rebola. I'll put it in the description box as well. Now, you give this wine to somebody in a blind tasting. I think it'd be hard for them to pick out this from a cooperative. They say it's a small producer. A lot of Rebola's in Slovenia are made with skin contact. This one may be having a little bit, but it's more of a classical white wine. More of a burgundy in terms of barrel fermented style. Really good barrel fermentation. Basically, you get some nice yogurty notes from the Lise contact. A lot, a lot of flint kind of crushed rocks. That's what you get, because there's fish soils there in Goriskeberda. White peach, like in a fresh white apricot. Full body, rich, tangy. Nice little piercing acidity. Really good job. You know, Slovenia, like a lot of the other countries that were part of ex-Yugoslavia, there's not a lot of cooperatives anymore. I think in the past, since everybody was forced to be part of a cooperative, now that the countries are free, they don't want to cooperate together and want to do their own thing. In terms of Clet Berda, a lot of Slovenia's famous producers actually got their start there. Them and their fathers or grandfathers, even their grandmothers, that's what's cool about cooperatives. It really brings communities together. Next up, we're going to go to Portugal to the Azores. This is the biggest seller on the Azores. This is the Pico wines. Terroir Volcanico Tarantes do Pico 2019. Tarantes do Pico, I think, is the same grape as Malvasia Fina. Barrow Fermented, these are volcanic wines. You know, I came across this winery several times at different volcanic summits around the world. I think the first time I came across it was John Sabo's Volcanic Summit in New York City. And then last year, there was a Go Volcanic Summit in Budapest, Hungary. This cooperative has 280 growers. This is from their premium line of wines, not cheap wines. These are wines that are going for 30, 40 euros in Portugal, so not so cheap. I'm excited to retaste this. I tasted this a few weeks ago. I'm excited to revisit it. Super, super serious juice here. Literally showing what cooperatives can do, not just kind of basic stuff, but also really serious stuff.  Perfect wood integration. Think more of a smokier, maybe premier cruciabli. Lots of acidity, which is just hitting my palate perfectly. Long finish, citrusy acidity.  I've been to a lot of cooperative sellers before. They really do bring the good ones that are well run, bring a lot of communities together. When you're buying from these sellers, you're really supporting the small guy, the small farmer. In essence, that's what wine is all about. Isn't it bringing people together to share laughter, food, and of course, good wine? So let me know. What do you think about cooperative wines? Do you have any favorites? Drop it in the comments below, and I will see you at the next episode. Hello, thanks for watching. Hey, you made it to the end.

Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, it's an honor and privilege to have with us His Excellency Prime Minister Lee Shen Lung of Singapore for the closing special address of the Davos Agenda. Prime Minister, a warm welcome to you from Geneva. I recall our conversation in the physical Davos just under a year ago. It seems like a decade, where we spoke about Singapore's unique development path and also your vision for the country's place in the global economy. As we traditionally gather in Davos at the start of each new year, we always try to look ahead with courage and optimism to shape a better world for the rest of the year. And this year, that's more needed than ever. After months of uncertainty and hardship that have thrown millions of lives, of course, we are slowly starting to find our way out of this pandemic. The global economy is also projected to pick up significant pace this year, provided that we will not see really, really serious second or third waves of the pandemic. And Prime Minister, Singapore's handling of the pandemic, I know its rapid vaccine rollout has enabled your government to more actively focus on building back from this crisis. So, compliments for that. With a close eye on the rapidly evolving global public health context, Singapore is now preparing to host the first major global physical meeting this year, the World Economic Forum's special annual meeting in May. Prime Minister, it is a privilege to have you with us here today. Again, and deliver your message to the world. Welcome and the floor is yours. Thank you, Mr. Brande. I'm very honoured to speak at this closing address, and I'd like to congratulate Professor Schwab, yourself, and the whole WEF team for putting together a successful programme. Thank you. It's been a year since we were all physically gathered in Davos for the 50th annual meeting of the WEF. At that time, we were just starting to hear about this new virus, and trying to understand what was happening. None of us anticipated how quickly a full-scale pandemic would blow up, and dramatically change our world. The disruption to lives and livelihoods has been massive and unprecedented. The virus is still raging in many countries, in the developed world in the US and Europe, and also in the developing world in Africa, South America, and South Asia. Thankfully, with vaccines becoming available, there's some light at the end of the tunnel. It is now critical that vaccines are rolled out quickly across the world. But even with vaccines, the pandemic is far from being quelled. The new variants discovered in the UK and South Africa and Brazil are worrying, and further mutations will surely emerge. Until a large part of the world's population is vaccinated, we still need strong public health measures everywhere to suppress the spread of the virus and keep populations safe. What will the post-COVID-19 world look like? Will countries emerge more resolved to build a more resilient but still globalised world?  The answer depends on the decisions that countries take now. Even before COVID-19, globalization was already under pressure. Confidence in multilateral institutions and rules and norms was eroding. Populist politics, nativism, nationalism, protectionism were on the rise. Countries' initial reactions to the pandemic seemed to herald globalization's demise. Borders were closed, supply chains were badly disrupted. Each country scrambled to secure its own supplies of essential goods, especially medicines, face masks and ventilators. It was each man for himself. But as the situation unfolded, we were forcefully reminded that our fates were intertwined and that we had to work together, and so we did in many areas. We restored supply chains, we repatriated each other's citizens stuck overseas, we shared tests and medical supplies, we supported vaccine multilateralism initiatives like the COVAX so that all countries, especially the least developed ones, would have access to vaccines. And as we gradually rebuilt confidence in one another, we opened up controlled corridors for travel and train between countries. Crucially, international scientific cooperation in the fight against COVID-19 continued. Doctors and scientists shared information about the disease and the virus, studying them, developing treatments, and testing vaccines. This enabled us to improve patient care and to produce effective vaccines in record time, some using new technologies. Such international cooperation and multilateral efforts remain essential to tackle the global pandemic coherently. With border closures and lockdowns, economies have all taken a deep plunge. The livelihoods of millions came under enormous stress. Only unprecedented levels of emergency spending and budgetary stimulus have kept us afloat, providing a lifeline to companies, workers, and families. Central banks have played their part to prevent financial systems and global capital markets from seizing up, unlike in previous crisis. These extraordinary measures cannot be sustained indefinitely.  But hopefully, as vaccination becomes more widespread and we make headway suppressing the virus, COVID-19 restrictions can be progressively eased, and economies will rebound. The World Bank and IMF forecast global growth to recover this year. It will not restore output to pre-COVID-19 levels, but it is something still to be thankful for. Now we are entering a new phase. The pandemic has exposed businesses and jobs which are not going to remain viable. They have to be let go to allow new growth and better jobs to be created in their place. Hard decisions have to be made, and this will exacerbate existing stresses. Governments will come under more pressure to adopt protectionist and nativist positions. To resume growth, we must look beyond returning to the status quo, empty. We must look ahead. Within countries, governments and businesses must collaborate to tap new markets and develop novel technologies. Externally, countries need to strengthen their framework for international cooperation. As an immediate task, countries should collaborate to develop a standardized, robust system to verify the authenticity of tests and vaccinations. This is essential to reopen borders and resume international travel. In the longer term, countries should work together to update and strengthen international institutions like the WTO, and create new rules to govern and foster novel forms of economic activity. For example, to sustain the growth of the digital economy and facilitate safe, secure, and efficient cross-border e-payments and data flows, we have to develop new e-trade regulations. Singapore has concluded digital economy agreements with like-minded countries like Australia, Chile, and New Zealand. We hope that this is only the beginning. We encourage all countries to come together to shape and grow the digital economy globally. The signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership or the RCEP last year by 15 countries in Asia was also a major collective commitment to trade and economic integration amidst the pandemic. The RCEP will broaden trade, open up markets in East and Southeast Asia and Australasia, and hopefully prevent the push for resilience and self-reliance from going too far. While dealing with the aftermath of COVID-19, we must not lose sight of other long-term challenges that affect all of us. One major problem is climate change. 2020 was the world's hottest year on record. Extreme weather events have become much more frequent. Last year, carbon emissions went down, but only because of COVID-19. Otherwise, the trend has been inexorably upwards. Climate change is clearly accelerating dangerously, and it is late in the day. But if countries act now and in constant, humankind can still hope to avert a catastrophe. We all know what we need to do. Within individual countries, to muster support for policies and measures that will slow the changes and limit global warming. Collectively, to set higher common standards and hold one another to our mutual commitments, whether it is tightening emission rules, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, or promoting renewable energy. We can take some comfort that countries are now taking climate change more seriously. The US has rejoined the Paris Agreement. China has announced a zero emissions target by 2060. But much more still needs to be done, going beyond our Paris commitments. Otherwise, we risk grave consequences in the not too distant future, even within our own lifetimes. To tackle these challenges, COVID-19, economic recovery, and climate change, global cooperation is essential. But getting countries to work together is not simply a matter of nurturing and showing goodwill. The international order must be underpinned by stable, great power relations. Big countries naturally jostle and compete with one another for influence and power. But they also need to work with one another through established and accepted rules and norms on issues which affect us all, be it pandemics, economic cooperation, or climate change. Recent years have witnessed growing friction and distrust rather than cooperation and confidence building among major powers. The most worrying trend is in US-China relations. This remains the most important bilateral relationship for the world in the years ahead. Over the last four years, tensions between the US and China have intensified sharply. Both powers have adopted more assertive and uncompromising postures. The US now sees China as a strategic rival and challenger to its preeminent position. And China is vigorously asserting what it considers its rightful place in the world. On both sides, domestic pressures to harden their external positions are considerable and moderate voices have been marginalised. Given the enormous stakes, difficult as it will be, it cannot possibly be too late for the US and China to reset the tone of their interactions and avert a clash between them, which will become a generational twilight struggle. The new US administration is an opportunity to steer the relationship towards safer waters. Amid President Biden's many urgent preoccupations, the US-China relationship should become a key strategic priority. To build a stable international order, regular constructive dialogue is critical. I am thus happy to see many distinguished participants taking part in the Davos Agenda Week. The World Economic Forum plays an important role, promoting dialogue, bringing together leaders in government, industry, and civil society. It is a forum where leaders from countries large and small alike can speak and be heard. And this is why, when Professor Schwab asked me whether Singapore would host a special annual meeting of the WEF, I agreed. It was not a decision lightly taken, but we are happy to make a modest contribution to the global discussion as the host country. We will work with the WEF to ensure the health and safety of all. I welcome all of you to Singapore in May so that we can take these discussions forward and forge a new path ahead together. Thank you. Thank you so much, Prime Minister. Also, thank you for being willing to host a special annual meeting in May. And as you also underlined the thinking behind the World Economic Forum for 50 years, also mentioned by Professor Schwab in his dialogue with you, is dialogue. It is to get the different key players together in the same room and try to find solutions. And as you also underlined so rightly, Mr Prime Minister, in your speech, the most pressing issues that we are faced with don't know any borders. COVID doesn't stop with borders. COVID anywhere is COVID everywhere.  It's a global problem that has to be dealt with in a global way. So coming back to the meeting in Singapore in May. For 50 years, we had the annual meeting for 49 times in Davos and one time in New York in solidarity after 9-11. And now this is Asia Century. We'll come to Singapore. What will your message be to the leaders that are now contemplating on coming to Singapore in May? We all face different situations, although we all share certain common challenges. I think we have to respond to our domestic issues in our own ways. But it is necessary for all of us to put a certain broader view ahead of us and to work together to tackle these common problems. Because otherwise, if it's a scramble of each country for itself, I think we're all going to come into serious trouble. And it's so for pandemics, it's so for climate change, it's so for economic recovery, it's so for a stable global security order. And I think that calls for courage, vision, and also the willingness to take a political stand and to persuade our own peoples that this is the way we are putting our country's interests ahead. And working to advance your interests together with other people in the world, because if we didn't do that, we'd all be in difficulty. It's very difficult. We all know what is the right thing to do. We all say what is the right thing to do. But we all come under pressure. In the early days of the pandemic, there was a very ferocious scramble for PPE, for equipment. And countries intervene to hijack, or perhaps requisition is the polite word, supplies which were destined and contracted and committed to other destinations. Now, I think we may see the same with vaccines, because the supplies are not coming on stream fast enough. In Europe, it's a very serious problem. I don't underestimate the political problem. But unless we can overcome those and work together as one country, you can keep one continent safe even. But if the virus is brewing and mutating and developing in other continents, sooner or later it's going to reach your shores by air, land, or sea. Prime Minister, traditional Singapore has had very close ties to the US, but also worked very well with China. And Singapore is, many ways, one of the largest FDI investors in China. And you said that US, China, the G2, is the most important bilateral cooperation or bilateral relationship in the world. And we need to bring it into safer waters, I think with the words. And where, and maybe a Singapore meeting, the special annual meeting in May, could be a place where you could see the new Biden administration and China meet. But what would be the concessions each of them have to give? Because if you have a full decoupling of the two largest economy in the world, I guess it will also have serious impact on economic growth and prosperity in the years to come. And you will come into a situation where smaller countries are between the rock and the hard place. We are in a position now where we have grown incrementally over three and a half, four decades since the beginning of the Chinese liberalisation and opening up, reform and opening up by Teng Xiaoping in 1978. And gradually China has liberalised its economy, has developed, has grown, has become more prominent in the world, and has grown its influence as well, and its interlinkages with other countries. And everybody has benefited from that, the Chinese people, but also all its trading partners, Europe, America, and Asia. But nevertheless, we are now at a situation where the strategic landscape has changed so much because of the emergence of China, that what used to work is no longer politically wearable in many countries. And adjustments have to be made. Concessions made to China when it was small, when it was backward, and which remain, and technically China is still a developing country, have to be reconsidered and recalibrated. At the same time, China's influence in the world has grown so much that it has to take on a greater responsibility for providing global public goods.  So I think China has to recalibrate its position in order that its influence in the world is not only there because of its own power and energy, but also there because of legitimacy and acceptance by other countries, that this is something which is benefiting other countries and which is not at the expense of other countries. On the part of the US, it is a very difficult adjustment because the US, after the Soviet Union collapsed, was the world's single hyper power. And now China is growing. It is not as powerful as the US. The GDP may be PPP terms about the same, maybe even bigger, but in terms of technology, in terms of sophistication, in terms of military might, nothing like America. Nevertheless, it is a significant other party on the international landscape and potentially a challenger. And the Americans are seeing it as a challenger, almost as a threat. I think if you see China as a threat, that is going to be a very big problem because then you are creating a threat and the struggle will continue for a long time. China is not going to collapse the way the Soviet Union did. So to see China as an issue where you have to develop a constructive relationship, you will compete, you will disagree even very strongly, maybe on human rights issues. But you also have other areas where you do have to work together because if you cannot work together, not only can you not solve the problems, but it becomes all round an adversarial relationship. You are in for a twilight struggle. It will not end, you will not have a quick win, and you are not going to disappear either. So you are in for a bad time, for a long time, and so is many other countries. And to understand that and internalize that and make that an acceptable policy stance to persuade the other side is one challenge. To persuade your own people, the population, Congress, the intelligentsia, I think that takes leadership of a very high order. Thank you Prime Minister. And in your speech, you also underlined what we are seeing of nationalism, protectionism, and populism. And this takes leadership to then show the course forward. You also said Prime Minister that we shouldn't return to kind of status co-anta after the crisis. And I guess the COVID crisis also have put challenges on Singapore, even if you're so far weathered this well, and also with the pandemic. How much has your strategy for your country and also the region changed? Or is it just re-emphasized or underlined the strategy you had before? Well, some of it is re-emphasized, because what we have found crucial in this crisis is that there is trust between the government and the people, that the people can work together, that we prepare ahead for what is to come before the dangers are upon us. And that's what's helped, I think, many Asian countries to deal with COVID-19, not just Singapore. And I think we have to keep that. But what has changed in this new world is that our social compact will be under greater stress because of inequality, because of job uncertainty, because of much more rapid technological changes, and structural changes in the world economy. Because I think the tourism industry, maybe even the aviation industry, will not go back to where it was for quite a long time to come. And we have to respond to that, to keep our economy growing, because that's the basis of our prosperity and our wherewithal to solve problems. And to strengthen our social compact and deal with these issues of inequality, of uncertainty, of anxiety which people have, in order that people have the confidence, the assurance to learn new skills, to take care of themselves, to open new frontiers. And we are trying very hard to do that. It's not easy to do. All countries are striving to do that. We have a life-long learning program. We call it Skills Future. We're putting very heavy resources in it, so that we retrain our workers and our population, not just at the beginning of their life, but throughout their working lives, and well into middle age and adulthood, in order that they can be productive and they can look forward to a better future. We are trying to prepare the economy for the future. Manufacturing is a significant segment of our economy. We want to keep it, but it will have to be in a different form. WEF talks about, Mr Schwab talks about industry 4.0. We have a manufacturing 2030 plan in order to develop the sorts of industries, manufacturing industries, where we will have the expertise and a competitive advantage, because it takes technology, it takes know-how, it has intellectual property, you need skilled people, you need to be flexible and to be able to adjust your strategies and outputs in your markets constantly. And these are things which you can do, provided you have a high-quality population. And we also have to take advantage of what people see in Singapore as a hub, trusted, reliable, well-connected, able to function in this new world, in order to keep on developing our ties with Southeast Asia, to prosper with our neighbours, with China, with Australasia or India, to prosper with the whole region. And therefore, that you are not just making a living, selling meals and cakes to one another or giving one another services, but servicing the wider world and therefore earning a place for ourselves in a different future. Well, thank you. And thank you also for underlining the importance of the new technologies. I guess this cannot be over-stated, the change that the Fort Industrial Revolution represents with artificial intelligence, internet of things, and not at least the big data. Data is the new oxygen in the economy. And you're a very competitive economy in Singapore, but I know that you also studied a lot of economic history and that the country does well today. Doesn't mean it needs to do well in two, three decades. Every day is a fight for also being competitive. And behind also the competition between the G2, I think it's also a lot about who's going to be on top of these new technologies. And the World Economic Forum has no centres all over the world related to the Fort Industrial Revolution. And how do you see the technologies being at the centre of the change in the years to come? And how can we also make sure that this isn't the new thing that represents new inequalities in the world? Because 3.6 billion people, more than half of the global population, don't even have access to the internet. That's a big paradox. Well, I think technology has to be part of the solution. If we see it as a threat, then we are condemning ourselves to be being frozen where we are today. You will not move ahead, but others will move ahead. So we have to master the technology at the same time. We must make sure that there's inclusive access to it. Within Singapore, we pay attention to that because our older folk are not so fast style with technology. So if you want to register online or using a hand phone, a smartphone, for the old folks, they may not do that. We run courses to teach them how to do that, that helps. But we also have places where they can come where there will be young people who will help them to do that. And make sure that they don't feel left out because we must take care of them, but we can't stop the whole country in order to make sure that everybody knows how to do it by hand. And I think globally, what you have to do is to have enough access, have mechanism which should enable the poorer countries also to have access. I think for internet, there are many schemes to provide affordable access, some using balloons, some using satellites to have broadband access to wide swathes of the developing world. When it comes to vaccines, we have the COVAX initiative to make sure that the lower income countries get what they need. And it's really not just in their own interest, but in everybody else's interest too. And we have to work together at this in order that they will also be able to move ahead. Because if they can't move ahead, then they may walk with their feet. And I mean, one of the problems with the migration crisis which we have been seeing is because of these inequalities between countries. Thank you so much, Prime Minister.  And thank you also for then hosting us in a special annual meeting in May. We're really looking forward to seeing you there, Mr Prime Minister. Thank you so much.


Going back to the trig functions, when they say sine theta is opposite of our hypotenuse, what you've got to understand is theta is a neutral angle. So what you have to do is look at your drawing that you have and think about which angle you want to find out. Now with triangles, the things to keep in mind is the sum of the angles is equal to 180. So if this one's 30 degrees and this one's 90 degrees, 30 plus 90 is 120.  So automatically, you know what this angle is.  The other thing is there's six pieces of info in a triangle. You've got three angles and three sides. If you know any three of these, one of them has to include a side. You can solve the triangle, which means find out what all the other angles are or how the other sides are. So if they give you one side and two angles, you can find out the other two sides and the other angle. If they give you one angle and two sides, you can again find out the other two angles and the other side. All you need is three pieces of info and one of them has to be a side. So for example, let's say they give you some piece of info where they say, let's change these to actual numbers and see how we're going to solve the triangle. One of the first things they do in math is they give you a question and say, solve the triangle. When they say solve the triangle, they want you to find all the other sides and all the other angles. So for them to tell you to solve the triangle, they have to give you at least three pieces of info, one of them being a side. So for example, let's deal with 30 degrees and let's say this is 7. Now 30 degrees and 7, where is our third piece of info? Our third piece of info is the right angle. This is 90 degrees. So whenever they tell you that you have a right triangle, they're already giving you one piece of info, which is 90 degrees. Now if you know this is 30, we know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180, then all you do is go 90 plus 30 is 120. 120 minus 180 is 60, okay? So if you know two pieces of information, you can get the third one. What I'm going to do is I'm going to change up the colors here so you know which pieces of info we have and which ones we're solving for. So this was 30 that was given. This is 7 that was given. And this is right angle, which is 90. So we just solved for one of the angles. Now what we want to do is solve for these two sides. Let's call these x and y, okay? The way we're going to do this is we're going to have to decide which side we want to solve. So this is mentally you're going to have to make a choice. Do you want to solve for x or y? Well, let's decide that we're going to solve for y, okay? So we want to solve for y, then you got to decide which angle you're going to use. Are you going to use the 60 degree angle or are you going to use a 30 degree angle? It's up to you. Now you stay away from the 90 degrees. The 90 degrees you're using as a reference to, for you to understand that this is a right triangle, okay? You never deal with the 90 degree angle in these functions, okay? Or in these operations, okay? So let's say we want to solve y and we're going to use angle 60.  So if you're sitting here, which one of these are you going to be able to use? Now, 60 degree is going to be your theta. That's your general angle. You have the hypotenuse. So you take a look at these functions. And the only two that have the hypotenuse are sine and cosine. You can't use tangent because it's got opposite over adjacent. So you're going to use 60 degrees and the only side that they're giving you, which is the hypotenuse. So we're either going to use this or this. Now since we chose to use sine, since we chose to use 60 degrees, that means y is adjacent to the 60 degree angle. Now some people confuse themselves and say, oh, this is also adjacent to 60 degrees as well. But this is the hypotenuse. So this doesn't count as being adjacent. This is always the hypotenuse. So the y becomes the adjacent. The x is opposite from 60. So if we're going to use 60 degrees, we're going to use the adjacent one. So we're going to use cos. So what we're going to do is say, okay, we're going to use this function. So we're going to go cos of 60 degrees is equal to, can you see this? I hope so. Cos of 60 degrees is equal to adjacent, which is y, over hypotenuse, which is 7. Okay? So the whole purpose, everything that you need to do right now is get y by itself. And the way you do this is you cross multiply this up.  Let me get my calculator and find out what this is.   And that gives you 0.5. So cos of 60 degrees is 0.5. So what you have here right now is, let's actually do this. So this becomes 0.5, are we on the board? We're on the screen. 0.5 is equal to y over 7, right? Now what you're going to do is cross multiply the 7 up. So I'm just going to go over here. You're going to have y is equal to 0.5 times 7. So y is going to be equal to 0.5 times 7 and that's equal to 3.5. So y, the answer for y is 3.5, okay? Now we need to find x, how are we going to find x? Well, I'm going to erase some of this stuff, okay?
