I am so excited about this I am going to save the giveaway information for the end of the video Because I want to make sure that those of you that regularly watch my videos till the very end are the ones I'm or able to take part in my giveaway. So we have a lot of fun in store for today So let's jump into this what I eat in a day to lose weight on WW There's breakfast this morning a little something different. I went ahead and made myself a smoothie bowl I have been doing a lot of research for some good clean eating smoothie bowls. So today I made a mango bowl. So all I did is I in my blender I added one cup of frozen mango and a little bit of water and half of a cup of almond milk As you know, I do not count blended fruit because I limit my fruit intake per day So the base of my smoothie bowl is going to be one smart point for the almond milk And then you can see that I have some fresh blueberries for zero and then I have a layer here of These sprouted pumpkin seeds from Costco. These are really really good. They have a little bit of salt on them They are delicious. So the pumpkin seeds are two smart points and then next to that I've added some organic unsweetened coconut from Trader Joe's and I have two smart points worth of coconut and Then I have just the smallest amount of chia seeds about a teaspoon Which is one smart point and then lastly I added some of these organic goji berries From Thrive and I'm gonna talk to you guys about Thrive a little bit later in this video Amazing place amazing website amazing store to buy really good organic clean foods for really affordable prices So I just added some of these goji berries. Literally. They're just dried berries So I count these as zero points and I maybe have a tablespoon So my breakfast this morning this big delicious smoothie bowl is one point for the smoothie base itself Two for the pumpkin seeds two for the coconut and one for the chia seed So this is a six smart point smoothie bowl. Hey, babe. You ventured out. Did you get up finally today? I know you've been tired.  Lola.  Isn't it baby? Yes, I love you I'm glad you came to say hi. Is your brother still in bed? Let's go check on him. You see See Well, are you gonna venture out? It's sunny. You could go sit outside. Oh You guys have made a mess of our bed again, buddy. Hey Hi, oh, he's got this.  The author is Angela Leiden I this was a used book that I found on eBay for about $10 I will try to find this and link it down below for you guys, but you guys I am so excited even though my cookbook here is a vegan There are so many amazing recipes in here And you could just add a little tweaking if you wanted to make them non-vegan, but I am so excited So I will be incorporating some of these recipes not only in my meal plan, but also here on my channel for tonight's dinner I'm gonna be making a slow cooker apple bacon pulled barbecue pork This is going to be so good, but we're gonna go ahead and get this into the crock pot So it's ready for dinner tonight. So let me show you what is in tonight's dinner First you're going to need apple cider vinegar brown sugar alternative of your choice. You guys know I'm a big advocate of sucre and gold. You can buy this on the net triton website There's a link down in the description box click the link. It'll take you right over to net triton They have the best price for the sucre and gold Worcestershire sauce Some sort of low sugar no sugar ketchup this one is about gone and then I'm gonna be using the primal kitchen I'll show that to you guys It's amazing ketchup and then also some salt bacon of your choice One medium apple you can either use whole onion or minced onion My husband isn't a big chunky onion fan in food So i'm going to use minced onion and then you're going to need about two pounds of pork tenderloin So let's get started on tonight's dinner So the first thing that we need to do is pull out four slices of bacon and chop it up into smaller pieces And then we're also going to peel and chop up our apple First thing we're going to do is go ahead and grab out a pretty small sauce pan You saw me cut up those four slices of bacon So i'm going to go ahead and add those And then we're just going to let the bacon cook down until it's crispy remove it from the heat kind of Soak off whatever's left over as far as grease goes and then we're actually ready to put everything into the slow cooker So my bacon is done I went ahead and just drained it and got all the grease off of it And in my slow cooker here, I went ahead and added my pork tenderloin I did go ahead and cut it in half just so that would fit a little bit better here in my slow cooker So i'm going to go ahead and add in my cooked bacon right on top there And then we're ready to add all the rest of our ingredients So first I have one third cup of worcestershire sauce And I am just going to pour all of this right on top of the pork tenderloin And we'll give it a good stir before we actually start the cooking process In my cup here. I have one and a half cups of Reduced sugar ketchup and I mentioned that that g hues was almost gone Well, I found a second bottle in my pantry and I ended up using the entire bottle Plus a little bit more so just kind of a heads up how much ketchup you're going to need But as promised, I wanted to show you guys the primal kitchen ketchup Now I will only be using this moving forward one. It is organic It's unsweetened and it has much better ingredients than the g hues So there are your ingredients in the primal kitchen ketchup I purchased this off of the thrive website So another thing that you can pick up off of thrive is primal kitchen products And I'm telling you the price is way better than any store. So I will be using this moving forward So in here, I have again that bottle of the g hues and the little bit that was left in the other bottle And then I have my minced onion. I decided to do minced instead of Raw onion again, just because my husband not a big fan of like the big chunks of onion So I am going to add in quite a bit because I really want it to pull nicely together With the pork and then I have salt. So I'm just going to put in just a good dash of salt Three tablespoons of sucran brown sugar. And again, those are packed tablespoons Sucran is off of the net triton website also three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar And lastly that peeled and diced up apple and then we're going to give this a stir We want to make sure that that sauce is mixed together. So the brown sugar the apples the vinegar Everything is mixed together and then we're going to put the lid on Throw this on low for about eight hours. So I'm just gonna let this cook all day today While I'm getting the rest of my chores around the house done And at the end of the day, we will have perfect pulled barbecue pork So let's get the lid on this and get it cooking My thrive market order came I'm so excited to share this website with you guys If you're looking for good clean food at really really affordable prices I mean really affordable. They have a lot of product that you can't find anywhere else You are going to love thrive. So I kind of wanted to share with you what came in my first order I just signed up for a membership with thrive I'll go over all of the membership at the end for you guys But when your order comes it comes in this super cute box and when you open it up, it's so well done It says that the box is compostable, which is awesome Talks a little bit about the products that thrive carries As well as membership and then kind of what thrive does for the community All of this is compostable and biodegradable as well. So here is what I ordered. I'm literally so incredibly excited Everything is wrapped really well. It's put nicely in the box. So let's pull it out And I'll show you what I picked up from thrive. So here's everything that I got from thrive So I want to tell you guys how the membership works But first I'm going to let you know that all of this With signing up for the membership only cost me 40 dollars, which is a steal If you know anything about clean eating and organic food, they can be really expensive So I'm going to show you what I picked up and then I'm going to put the prices here on the screen So you can see what the price at thrive is. It is so much less expensive than anywhere else even your discount nutrition store So let's jump in to my thrive hall picked up two cans of organic tomato sauce Tomatoes are on the dirty dozen Which means that any tomato or tomato product should be purchased organic And the price could not be beat for this tomato sauce So I just like to have this on hand. You guys know I make the Skinniest dish crock-pot marinara and a lot of tomato-based dishes So I picked up two cans of organic tomato sauce Also two big 28 ounce cans of organic crushed tomatoes Again, because they're on the dirty dozen and these were such a great deal So I grabbed two and I'll just have those on hand Also, this is kind of fun. They have jovial, which is a fantastic organic brand These are diced tomatoes in a big 18 ounce jar So instead of buying cans you can get the big jar of them And then you can just pop the lid on any that you don't use and again These are organic and a great price and then I also picked up some of the primal kitchen ketchup I have seen this in my health food store for six to ten dollars for this bottle So it was a great price at thrive. This is organic and a sweetened ketchup So it's going to be zero smart points kind of like if you bought the Heinz or the g-huse ketchup This one just has really really really good ingredient. I also picked up some organic goji berries Look at these. Oh, these are a super food and these are great to put on yogurt to mix in with granola You can even put these in your smoothie bowls or your acai bowls And the only ingredient is organic goji berries. Here is your nutritional information And again, you only need a small amount about a tablespoon And I will probably count these as zero points because all that is in here is a goji berry There's nothing added to it. You can count points if that works for you But whenever dried fruit has nothing added I count it as zero Also two packs of the thrive fajita seasoning I wanted to get the taco seasoning so bad because it was organic and had good ingredients But it was completely sold out. So I ended up getting the fajita seasoning But here are your ingredients so not bad at all It is organic and so I'm just going to keep those on hand for when I want to make fajitas And then these I actually bought a really small package at my local natural food store on my treat day These are amazing. These are so incredibly delicious The price for this bag was the same as I paid for a tiny little single serve at the health food store And this has a nice receivable pouch. Here is your nutritional information Now this is a candy. So it is going to be pretty high in smart points, but just one or two Is perfect.  So I chose these organic sprouted tortilla chips In sea salt and I thought that these would be good to have with some pico de gallo Some of that cheese sauce from the honest company and then the ingredients again are really really good for this So I picked those up for free with my order. So that's really nice that they always give you a free item Also, I picked up some organic sprouted brown rice. So not only is it organic It's non-gmo and kosher and it is brown rice, but it's sprouted. So it's going to have even a more nutrient dense delicious flavor and texture than traditional brown rice And of course, it's organic.  I no longer use white flour or wheat flour or really store bought flour I tend to gravitate towards a nut flour or some type of more whole food flour So this organic coconut flour was a fantastic deal This is a one pound bag of coconut flour. So it was a really really good price And then I also grabbed some organic oat flour I know that you can make this yourself But I would rather just buy it and this is a 1.38 pound bag All of these are resealable. So your flowers stay nice and fresh And speaking of all-purpose flour. Look at this you guys organic all-purpose flour So I was excited to find that you could use this for two ingredient dough or anything that calls for flour This is two pounds. I wanted to show you too The the nutritional infamy. So all that is in here is organic wheat flour So if you can't get behind coconut flour or oat flour and you just like your traditional all-purpose flour This is a great choice and lastly I picked up some organic rolled oats Because these are a great price as well. They are organic, which is always good for a rolled oat This is a two pound bag. So again, that is my thrive order And let me tell you guys a little bit about how the membership works So basically this is what the thrive market webpage looks like it's you guys It's pretty amazing and you can see every time you place an order the thrive market gives you something for free This is a 27 dollar value and you can have that for free And what I like to do is go up here to the top where you can search through the different types of products that you're looking for The thrive brand has some really really good deals So if you click on that there's about 30 pages of everything that the thrive market Puts out there from maple syrup to all your pumpkins bath and body seafood baby kids I mean look at that just tons and tons of options And then if you click over here on the deals tab It's going to tell you what kind of deals and promotions the thrive is running So there's the free product that you get when you order. Also, you can shop by diet So for me, I always usually just click on the organic And then it's going to pull up everything and anything that the thrive market carries That is organic and look how many things 2007 59 you guys i'm telling you this is well worth it and I think doing the yearly Subscription it makes a lot of sense. It's five dollars a month. You're charged a one time fee And then you get 20 dollars worth of free products. Oh, there's my rolled oats that I love So you get 20 dollars worth of free products So the membership costs you near nothing and it's great just to have this in your back pocket To pick up your favorite organic and health foods. It really truly is the best price You're not going to find this low of price at any type of local grocery store So and there's that primal kitchen catch-up that I showed you guys in my meal prep So look at 499. That's a really good deal Primal kitchen catch-up at my store is 799. That's a three dollar saving So just recommend that you guys take advantage of the thrive market Again, the link is down in the description box You can click that and then head on over and join whatever type of subscription plan I recommend the yearly just because it's the best price And literally your stuff ships for free and you have everything here at your fingertips Over 90 pages of organic products. It's just really such a fantastic website. So here's today's lunch I'm excited for this. So I went ahead and just chopped up and cooked up one of these sam's choice Smoked chicken apple sausages. You guys these have fabulous ingredients and they're very very affordable You find them at walmart and they are delicious. I love them. So that's the size of them. They're pretty good size links So I chopped up one and just pan fried it no oil or anything in a pan And then I have some of my vegetables that I meal prep. These are just some roasted Brussels sprouts mushrooms butternut squash and zucchini and I topped it with just some nutritional yeast Which is what's in this jar. It's just kind of a vegan cheese. It's delicious. It's very cheesy But it has great nutritional benefit and then I'm going to have one of my protein balls that I also prepped in meal prep If you haven't seen this week's meal prep, I will link it down in the description box for you guys Highly recommend that you check it out because I made some delicious food So I'm going to be having that and then I have some pineapple here from costco I'm going to have a couple of spears of that. So my protein ball is two smart points My sausage is two smart points My vegetables are one only because of the avocado oil that I put on them when I cooked them The little bit of nutritional yeast that I used is zero So it's one for the veggies two for the sausage and two for the protein ball.  You guys are going to love Love love it. So in order to make it through the rest of my day today, it's been super busy I'm brewing myself up a pot of coffee. So I'm having some of the bones coffee coconut rum This is a really really good flavor. If you're interested in bones. I do have five dollars off down in the description box It's not an affiliate link. I don't receive any type of money or anything for you purchasing But it's nice for you guys to get five dollars off I just buy the sample pack, which is five bags of your choice of flavors This is the size of the bag. It makes probably Two to three pots of coffee depending on how much coffee you put in there So I'm going to have the coconut rum in my new mug that I just picked up at home goods Yes, how true Never true or words have been spoken So I'm going to have some coffee and let's get my strive order placed and edited for part of a snack today I'm going to be having some of my dark chocolate nuggets Coconut and super seeds from Costco.

Get your baby so we can play come here Oh, yeah So it's about 3 30 and I think we're going to end up having a little bit later dinner tonight My husband said he had to work a little bit later And you guys know that I have that pork tenor line in the crock pot Which is going to be amazing for dinner, but I'm going to have a built bar This is the coconut almond. This is actually one of my very very favorites This is the only nut based built bar That is three smart points all of the other built bars with nuts are four So the toffee almond the peanut butter I like the nut based bars a lot I think they keep me a little bit more full than the non nut based ones So I'm completely fine taking an extra point for that But I'm going to be having the coconut almond So this one is 130 calories 18 grams of protein Seven fiber three sugar and five fat so between the protein fiber and fat they keep me nice and full So this is going to be my afternoon snack if you guys are interested in built bar highly recommend Highly highly recommend.

So I just want to tell you guys This is the fifth one of these that I have drank today I have had nothing to drink but coffee and water so Yay me so I just went ahead and took a couple of forks here and I just shredded up the pork Kind of mixed it in with the barbecue sauce. It smells So good. So I'm just going to pop the lid back on it is off But just to keep it warm until we're ready to eat dinner with our barbecue pulled pork I'm going to be frying up some of my cauliflower gnocchi I'll show you guys kind of how I fry this up to get it nice and crispy Which in my opinion is the best and only way to have it So first I go ahead and warm my pan up just a tiny little bit I and I spray some of my chosen foods avocado oil spray in the bottom Kind of get that starting to warm up and then we're going to go ahead and add in the cauliflower gnocchi And then I give it another spray On top and that really just kind of helps brown it up a little bit So we're just going to let this cook down. It's kind of the slower you cook it the crunchier it'll get So I just usually have it on a lower heat and just let it slowly cook Once your gnocchi starts to cook a little bit We're going to add just a little bit of salt and pepper to it That way it kind of gets those flavors as it finishes cooking and we're going to cook it until it's brown and crispy All right, the gnocchi is done I'm going to go ahead and plate this up along with the barbecue pulled pork And I'll be back to show you my dinner and give you the smart points So here is tonight's dinner. So I have one serving of the pulled pork That is going to be five smart points on all plans And then I topped it with two points worth of the Trader Joe's light shredded mozzarella cheese And then I have one serving of the Trader Joe's gnocchi and that is four smart points So it's four for the gnocchi and seven for the pork with the cheese So this is an 11 smart point dinner as promised I wanted to talk with you guys about my giveaway, but before we jump into what I'm giving away I reached 25,000 subscribers That is crazy to me.

A very good evening aspirants, welcome to the Hindu newspaper analysis brought you by Shankar IA's academy for the date 6th of April 2022. See displayed here are the list of news articles that I have chosen for today's discussion. See today's discussion is really going to be very useful for both your problems as well as mains and as I always assure you I have an economic topic today also it is regarding the concept of fiscal consolidation then in that itself I had covered about fiscal deficit and how to address the fiscal deficit okay and the first news article that I have chosen for today's discussion is very much important for both your problems and mains keeping in mind that problems is fast approaching I had made a point to cover all important points that can be put in your problems questions okay and in the other two articles also I had made a point to give more importance for your problems so without wasting much time now let's get into the first news article discussion now take a look at this editorial article see this editorial article talks about secularism I hope you all remember the recent hijab issue that was raised in the state of Karnataka and when the issue was taken to the Karnataka High Court it could not settle the issue the judgment of the High Court was very technical it nearly read like a petition and it revealed an excessive desire to disprove the opposing viewpoint hence it's judgment for the provoked the hijab hearing college students in Udupi as a result no they have now approached the Supreme Court of India to contest the order so this is the crux of the article given here see you very well know that this topic secularism is very much important for your mains but note that the philosophy of secularism is very much important for your problems also because questions based on that is coming nowadays and also the constitutional provisions regarding secularism can be asked as a preliminary question so this topic is going to be relevant for both your problems as well as means kindly pay attention and make note of each and every point that is going to be mentioned in this discussion okay before that the syllabus relevant to this news article is highlighted here for your reference just go through it see to begin with what is secularism secularism in simple term refers to separation of religion from the state or you can say it is a normative doctrine which seeks to realize a secular society that is a society that is devoid of either interreligious or intra-religious dominations see to put positively it promotes freedom within religions and equality between as well as within religions now what kind of state is necessary to realize these goals the answer is very simple to realize secularism we need a secular state now when you look at the constitution of India it stands for a secular state hence it does not uphold any particular religion as the official religion of the Indian state now we are going to see some of the provisions of the Indian constitution that reveals the secular character of the Indian state firstly as you know originally the constitution provided for seven fundamental rights and a part three of the Indian constitution from articles 12 to 35 one among the fundamental rights is the right to freedom of religion which includes articles from 25 to article 28 remember this fundamental right is available not only for citizens of India but also for the foreigners see all persons are equally entitled to freedom of consigns and the right to freely profess practice and propagate any religion this is under article 25 then when you take article 26 it says every religious denominations or any of its section shall have the right to manage its religious affairs then if you take article 27 it says no person shall be compelled to pay any tax for the promotion of a particular religion and lastly when you take article 28 it says no religious instruction shall be provided in any educational institution maintained by the state here you must note one thing the constitution originally or even under fundamental rights does not explicitly mentions the term secularism or secular state there is no doubt that constitution makers wanted to establish such a state under article 25 to 28 which is guaranteeing the fundamental right that is freedom of religion but still the constitution does not explicitly mention that India is a secular state see wait wait it is for this reason only the 42nd constitutional amendment act was made so according to this 42nd constitutional amendment act the term secular was added to the preamble of the Indian constitution itself okay so far we specifically saw about the provisions of the Indian constitution which are explicitly projecting India as a secular state see apart from this there are many other provisions of the Indian constitution which are implicitly projecting India as a secular state now let us see them on by one see in preamble in addition to the term secular state there is also liberty of belief faith and worship this is implicitly mentioning that India is a secular state and when you take article 14 it says the state shall not deny to any person equality before law and equal protection of the laws see here they are meaning to say that a person from a particular religion is not given high status he is treated equally before law okay now when you take article 15 it says that the state shall not discriminate against any citizen on the ground of religion and when you take article 16 it says equality of opportunity for all citizens the matters of public employment should be provided and when you take article 29 it says any section of the citizen shall have the right to conserve its distinct language script or culture then when you take article 30 all the minority shall have the right to establish and administer the educational institution of their choice lastly when you take article 44 as you are right it is regarding DPSP it has also made a provision like that the state shall endeavor to secure for all the citizens a uniform civil code so having seen the provisions of the Indian constitution now let us move on to the important part of the discussion that is the Indian philosophy of secularism see the Indian concept of secularism differs from the western concept of secularism this is because the western concept of secularism connotes a complete separation between the religion and the state see this is reflecting a negative concept of secularism and it is in applicable in the Indian situation because the society here is multi-religious hence the Indian constitution embodies the positive concept of secularism that is giving equal respect to all religions or protecting all religions equally to put it in simple words India as a secular state do not interfere with religion or religious activities and faith also note that any religion or religious activities or faith does not play any role in law and policy making decisions but still India respects all religion and protects all religion equally okay now coming back to the news article see according to the author the issue of the hijab is political as well as constitutional the top court that is a Supreme Court might examine the constitutional aspect and his judgment will hopefully settle the issue but the political dimension of the hijab issue will continue to trouble the Indian society for a long time see the author says so because according to him the sudden eruption of the issue is nothing but a reflection of a widespread intolerance among the people this is true because as a matter of fact Hindu and Sikh women in northern India cover their heads on all important occasions such as marriage or funeral or religious ceremonies etc etc but still wearing hijab and school primers became an issue the fact that a piece of cloth is enough to provoke people to rush out on to the street and fight each other is a witness to the transformation that has occurred in the Indian society see the transformation that I'm mentioning here is an environment of intolerance okay see in the situation the claims of traditional tolerance pluralism seems like a bad joke now the threat here is there is too much religiosity in public life in India so we have conveniently changed the meaning of secularism into Sarva Dharma Sambhav which would only lead to majoritarianism and ultimately to the establishment of a theocratic state see what is this theocratic state a state governed directly by a priestly order is called a theocratic state see if such a thing happens theocracy will ensure that disintegration of the country in the Indian context a theocratic state based on the religious scriptures would be fundamentally unstable since it would deny the subaltern class equality before the law and equal protection the law not only this they also lead to discrimination against them on the basis of caste see this may lead to long-lasting conflicts in the eventual disintegration of the society will happen so by now you would have understood that disturbing the secularism of India is equal to threatening the very base of the society so this moves us to the question of way forward now what should be done we must come to the obvious conclusion that India as a nation can only survive as a secular state that is there should be no religious promotion by the state see according to the author the fact that educated Indians mock secularism and have come to endorse the idea of theocratic state based on the dominant religion is an indication of people's thoughtlessness see this educated Indians mood is being shaped by the confusing religion or political campaigns see remember why secularism was chosen by Indian leaders see secularism was chosen as the foundational principle of the Republic to keep the nation united hence enlightened citizen should understand that if secularism is abandoned the country's hard one unity will be endangered so as a citizen of India every citizen has a patriotic duty to strengthen secularism and thereby safeguard the nation so that's all about this news article we discussed about what is secularism especially we discussed about the Indian philosophy of secularism then we saw about the constitutional provisions which talks about the secularism we saw both explicit mentioning and implicit mentioning okay then we saw the threat to secularism and what will be the cause of that threat lastly we saw what should be done as a citizen of India to protect secularism so these key points and nine now let's move on to the next news article discussion look at this article here it is about the purchase of bramos missiles by philippines from india see we all know that bramos supersonic cruise missile was a joint development between india and russia but the purchase of the cruise missile by philippines from india is notable here this is because india would be able to move ahead on a bilateral basis with philippines so this is the essence of the news article given here in this context let us learn more about missiles from prilim's perspective here i'll be covering about the types of missiles then i'll also cover about bramos missile in prilim's perspective okay first of all let us see what is a missile see a missile is nothing but an object such as a weapon thrown or projected this is thrown or projected in order to strike something at a distance which is a target okay see it is usually a rocket which carries a payload with the aim of destroying the target there are different types of missiles on the basis of launch mode no they are classified as surface to surface add to surface then surface to air missiles then add to air missiles then you can also say anti-satellite weapons missiles okay see as far as the types are concerned they are very easy because you can understand from the name itself what is the type and what is its mechanism okay now for example take the surface to surface missile it means the rocket is propelled from the ground and it hits a target on the ground okay likewise you take the add to air missile it means it is propelled from a jet and it will hit the target which is in the air see the target might be another jet or something else okay now when you take the add to surface missile it means they are propelled from a jet and it hits a target on the ground can you understand from the name itself you can understand the mechanism of their launch am i right that is why this is a very easy classification and when you take the surface to air now you say what happens here it is just opposite to add to surface that is the missile is propelled from the surface and it hits the target in the air okay then you may ask what are ballistic missile cruise missile anti-ship or anti-tank missiles wait let us discuss about each of these one by one first let us see about the ballistic missile see the ballistic missile is targeted as a projectile from a single launch force see here not much guidance is added okay and it is launched directly into the high layers of the earth's atmosphere it travels well outside the atmosphere and then the warhead detaches and falls back to earth see the ballistic missile follows the path of a ball thrown upwards which falls down see when you throw a ball how does it go do you remember that path in a similar way the ballistic missile will travel okay since it depends on gravity to reach its target it is called as ballistic missile see ballistic missiles can travel extremely quick along their flight path with the terminal speeds of over 5000 meter per second the ballistic missiles are much harder to intercept than the cruise missile see this is due to the much shorter time available okay see these ballistic missiles are some of the most feared weapons that are available and it can be launched from ships and they can also be land based facilities okay now based on the range no we can classify this ballistic missile as short range medium range then intermediate range and lastly you can also go for intercontinental ballistic missile these are all the types of ballistic missile based on range okay some examples of ballistic missiles in India are Agni 1 Agni 2 then Prithvi 1 Prithvi 2 and Dhanush okay now let's see about the cruise missiles a cruise missile is a guided missile that means the target has to be preset it is used against terrestrial targets see here when you take the cruise missiles they are generally consisting of a guidance system in addition to the payload an aircraft propulsion system and note that this cruise missiles are housed in an airframe with small wings and appendage see appendage is nothing but an arrangement of stabilizing the surface at the tail of an aircraft this is mainly for flight control okay now when you take the cruise missiles they can be launched from various platforms that means they can be landed from land or sea see here means they can be submarine launch or ship launch then they can be launched from air also okay see these cruise missiles are characterized by having different forms of guidance such as satellite GPS guidance then they are known specifically for the low level flight which is staying relatively close to the surface of the earth this is mainly known to avoid the detection from anti-missile systems and they are designed to carry large payloads with high precision okay see the key is that the missile is guided entirely to the target under its own power okay the cruise missiles can be categorized by size speed when you talk about speed no you can call them as supersonic subsonic or hypersonic cruise missiles and it can also be classified based on range and from where it can be launched that is from land or air or surface or ship or submarine whatever it may be okay see when you take the land attack missiles they are the cruise missiles which are designed to hit stationary or moving targets on land okay now let me tell you about the anti-tank missile see anti-tank guided missile anti-tank missile anti-tank guided weapon or anti armor guided weapon all these are guided missile primarily designed to hit and destroy heavily armored military vehicles okay when you ask me a few examples i can tell you to Nag and Helena which are the examples of anti-tank missiles in India okay and now let me tell you about the anti-ship missile see these are a guided missile that is designed for use against ships and large boats see all these ballistic cruise anti-ship and anti-tank missiles are under the broad category which is surface to surface surface to air or air to air or air to surface it means all ballistic cruise anti-ship anti-tank missiles all these can be launched from surface okay now coming back to the article see the article is about the missile bramos so let us see a few important facts about the bramos missile which are very much important for your preliminary examination see the missile has been developed as a joint venture between the DRDO and the federal state unitary enterprise NPO machino stroinya see if you find it difficult to remember this enterprise name just have in mind that it is a Russian-based enterprise and remember this bramos is the first supersonic missile known to be in service bramos is a two-stage supersonic cruise missile which is a solid propellant booster engine as its first stage which brings it to the supersonic speed and then gets separated so remember its first stage is a solid propellant okay then the liquid ramjet or the second stage no then takes the missile closer to three max speed see the missile is fitted with stealth technology and guidance systems with advanced embedded software which provides the missiles with special features now what is the stealth technology see it is very simple a stealth technology is intended to make vehicles or missiles nearly invisible to the enemy radar or other electronic detection so you can call the stealth technology as a invisible technology okay see the missile maintains supersonic speed all through the flight leading to a shorter flight time see it is capable of being launched from submarine ships fighter jets or land and it operates on fire and forget principle adopting varieties of flights on its way to the target what is this fire and forget principle see the fire and forget principle of operation means the missile guidance does not require further guidance that is once it is launched and until it hits the target it doesn't require any guiding system and note that the launcher need not be in the line of sight of the target understood so this bramos is performing under this fire and forget principle of operation okay see the destructive power of bramos is enhanced due to large kinetic energy on impact and that's all about this news article we saw everything about the types of missile and what is a missile then how from the name itself you can understand what is the mechanism of the missile then lastly we saw about the bramos missile see this topic is very much important for your problems because you can expect this kind of questions so with these key points in mind now let's move on to the next news article discussion now look at this news article see this article is from the business page in the hindu paper and you know it's hard to miss this kind of article see this article is about borrowing the article says that according to s&p global ratings global sovereign borrowing will reach 10.4 trillion dollar in 2022 that is almost a third above average before the COVID-19 pandemic and the rating agency said that despite an economic recovery borrowing will stay elevated because of high depth rollover requirements and the war in Ukraine see the conditions that are prevailing globally is spoken in this news article when we talk about borrowing know we should always think of fiscal consolidation because when the borrowing increases the country's depth is increasing thus to prevent this from happening fiscal consolidation must be done so now comes the question here what is fiscal consolidation see to know about fiscal consolidation you should know about fiscal deficit the word fiscal refers to annual government account statements and the word deficit stands for shortage therefore fiscal deficit is a term used to define the difference between what a government spends and what it collects as revenue now you may wonder how can government spend beyond its revenue it is by means of borrowing so in simple words a fiscal deficit situation occurs when the government spends more than what it earns this deficit is calculated in absolute terms and also as a percentage of gross domestic product or GDP of the country for example if the GDP of a country is 100 lakh crore and the difference between total income and expenditure is 10 lakh crore then the fiscal deficit is 10 percentage see if a country has a large and recurring fiscal deficit it shows that the government has been spending beyond what it gets as revenue when you talk about India the fiscal deficit is the king indicator to show the fiscal health of the government effectively fiscal deficit indicates the amount of government borrowing for that particular year am i right excess fiscal deficit produces some adverse effects for the government it causes interest payment burden and for the economy it causes inflationary effect and rising interest rate in the economy so by this time you'd have understood what is this fiscal deficit and what are all the troubles that it is causing and how it is managed it is managed through borrowing so what can be done to control all these problems here comes the answer fiscal consolidation see fiscal consolidation refers to the ways and means of narrowing the fiscal deficit see a government typically borrows to bridge the deficit it will then have to allocate a part of its earning to serve as the debt am i right so the interest burden will increase as the debt increases see when you take the budget for the financial year 2022 of the total government expenditure of over 34.83 lakh crore more than 8.09 lakh crore that is around 20 percent went towards interest payments alone see this depth is one liability that is difficult to defer and at the end of the day the government struggles to find more resources not just for capital expenditure but also for revenue expenditure so in the long run uncontrolled fiscal deficit will hurt economic growth now let us see the measures from the expenditure side and the revenue side that are envisaged by the government to achieve this fiscal consolidation or what we call it as narrowing the fiscal deficit firstly there should be improvement in the tax revenue realization for this increasing efficiency of tax administration by reducing tax avoidance then eliminating tax evasion then enhancing tax compliances etc etc are to be made secondly there should be enhancement in the tax GDP ratio this is done by widening the tax base and minimizing the tax concessions and exemptions see all these will improve tax revenue am i right so now the third measure is better targeting of government subsidies and extending the direct benefit transfer scheme for more subsidies see when the government makes the target for subsidies specific and efficient then definitely the income from the particular sector will enhance the country's economy else it is only going to increase the deficit of the country okay see the higher economic growth rate will help government to get higher tax revenues as well so augmentation of tax revenue is necessary to bring fiscal consolidation as there are limitations for reducing government expenditure in India note that announcing fiscal consolidation plans and measures is a prerequisite to restore public finances also it helps to maintain market confidence see when a country is having more and more percentage of fiscal deficit then who will be confident enough to invest in the country no countries or no companies will be ready to invest right so in order to maintain market confidence also a country should be fiscal deficit free or at least it should be reduced to certain level that is why this fiscal consolidation is very much important see it aims at reducing the government deficit and debt accumulation okay so that's all about this news article i hope you'd have understood about the term fiscal deficit then what are all the causes then what are all the troubles it is causing then how it is managed and finally i hope you'd have understood about the term fiscal consolidation so with these key points in mind now let's move on to the next news article discussion have a look at this news article see this news article talks about a report released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that is shortly called as IPCC report as you know IPCC is the United Nations body in charge of evaluating the science related to climate change this news article is more significant in that manner so in this background let us quickly go through the findings of the report before that have this basic understanding see recently released report is nothing but a summary report this summary for policy makers summarizes major conclusions from the working group 2's contribution to the IPCC's sixth assessment report okay the report actually highlights the connection of climate ecosystem and biodiversity as well as human societies and integrates knowledge more strongly across the natural ecological social and economic sciences this is more efficient than the previous IPCC's assessment you can see it in the image given here see from this image itself you can understand how efficiently the report is getting transformed see the climate change causes impacts and risk is on one side and the future climate change limiting the global warming is on the other side so what are all the timely action required can be listed out by each and every government across the globe and thus the global warming can be addressed or in simple words this report evaluates the physical science of climate change looking at the past present and future climate it reveals how human caused emissions are altering our planet and what that means for our collective future talking about the highlights of the report see the latest report has for the first time made an assessment of regional and sectoral impacts of the climate change it has included risk to and vulnerabilities of megacities around the world for example it has said Mumbai is at high risk of sea level rays and flooding well Ahamadabad faces a serious danger of heat waves for the first time the IPCC report has looked at the health impacts of climate change for example it has found that the climate change is increasing vector-borne and water-borne diseases such as malaria or dengue particularly in subtropical regions of Asia and secondly if you take it has also said deaths related to circulatory respiratory diabetic and infectious diseases as well as infant mortality are likely to increase with the rise in temperature then thirdly the increasing frequency of extreme weather events like heat waves flooding and rot and even air pollution was contributing to under nutrition allergic diseases and even mental disorders so talking about India specific study see the report identifies India as one of the vulnerable hotspots with several regions and important cities facing very high risk of climate disasters for example the climate disaster such as flooding sea level rise and heat waves are getting more and more see i already mentioned that Mumbai is at high risk of sea level rise and flooding and Ahmedabad is facing serious danger of heat waves okay then several cities including Chennai Bhuneshwar partner and Lucknow are approaching dangerous levels of heat and humidity see infrastructure including transportation water and sanitation and energy systems has been compromised by extreme and slow onset events this further results in economic losses disruption of services and impacts the well-being of the humans see we know that urban India is at greater risk than other areas with a projected population of 877 million by 2050 see this is nearly double or 480 million in the year 2020 okay so that's all about this news article so we had discussed about the IPCC report which is very much important for your problems and i had given the key findings of the recent report just keep those key points in mind it will be very much useful in addressing your problems based questions okay so with these key points in mind now let's move on to the next part of the news article discussion which is the preliminary practice question discussion now look at this first question it is regarding the Brahmos missile that we discussed today see it is a two statement question so we have to go through both these statements before answering this question okay now look at the first statement it is absolutely incorrect because we saw that the Brahmos is a two-stage supersonic cruise missile with a solid propellant booster engine as its first stage so why is this statement wrong it says that Brahmos is an intercontinental ballistic missile so it is absolutely incorrect okay and the second part no which is talking about the range it is also incorrect because the liquid ramjet or the second stage of this Brahmos cruise missile takes the missile closer to three max speed in cruise phase okay so the first statement here is incorrect now take the second statement it is correct because this we saw in a discussion itself that the missile has been developed as a joint windshield between the DRDO and I said one enterprise name right federal state unitary enterprise NPO machinous tyrannia simply you can remember that it is a russian enterprise okay so this is the first supersonic missile known to be in service okay and see now read the complete question it is asking for correct statement so your answer here will be option B to unleash the correct statement okay now look at this second question see consider the following statement with reference to the type of deficits so three statements are given see whenever you have more than two statements you can opt for elimination technique whenever I get this kind of questions no I always go in for third statement or second statement so let me take the third statement today see the primary deficit is the difference between revenue deficit and grants for creation of capital asset this statement is absolutely incorrect because the definition given there is the definition of effective revenue deficit yes effective revenue deficit is the difference between revenue deficits and grants for the creation of capital assets okay and what is the definition of primary deficit see primary deficit is nothing but the difference between the fiscal deficit of the current year and the interest paid by the government on loans obtained in the past okay so now you know that statement three is incorrect you can eliminate three options that is B, C, D and you can easily find the answer as option A one and two only but always read the other statements also before confirming the answer now look at the first statement fiscal deficit is the difference between the total income of the government and its total expenditure yes it is correct now look at the second statement revenue deficit arises when the government's revenue expenditure exceeds the total revenue receipts yes absolutely correct okay so your answer for this question is option A one and two only is the correct statement okay now look at the third question see it is regarding our IPCC report discussion okay it is a two statement question so we are going to go through both these statements before answering this question look at the first statement it is correct because we saw in a discussion itself that IPCC is a united nation body in charge of evaluating the science related to climate change okay so statement one is correct now look at the second statement see it says that it was established by united nation general assembly and the world meteorological organization in 1988 this statement is incorrect because it was established by UNAP that is united nation environment program and world meteorological organization in the year 1988 it was only endorsed by the UN general assembly okay so the question is demanding for the correct statements your answer will be option A one only is a correct statement okay now I have displayed here a mains question please go through the question and write your answers and post it in the comment section and if you have any doubts regarding the discussion you can post all your doubts in the comment section and it will be clarified as soon as possible if you like this video do like share and comment and don't forget to subscribe to the Shankar IAS Academy's YouTube channel thank you for listening


Hi, my name is Sam Thompson, and at Asia Crypt, I'll be presenting the work Practical Proably Secure Flooding for Blockchains. This is joint work with Chenda, Liuzang, Christian Matt, Uli Maurer and Guillermo Rito. To motivate this work, I would like to look at the example of blockchains. So a blockchain protocol is a protocol where a group of parties interact in order to build and extend a total order. However, it's not always guaranteed that this total order will be built. This is only guaranteed if each party owns some resource, and a majority of these resources remains under honest control. But this is not the only assumption needed for blockchain protocols to work. In fact, they also rely on the flooding network. So in order to build the total order, both of these assumptions will need to hold. So let's have a closer look at this flooding network assumption. So flooding network is a very simple protocol where any party is allowed to input a message and as a consequence, all other parties will receive this message within some delta time. And this is the assumption that is used in order to prove the security of blockchains in a wide range of work. Alright, so let's look at how such flooding protocols are actually implemented in practice. If P1 wishes to send a message, then they will choose a random subset of the parties as their neighbor and forward the message only to these neighbors. This will continue on, such as now when P2, P3 and P4 has received the messages. Well, then they will forward the message to a random subset of the parties again. This continues on until all parties have received the message. It's not difficult to see that if a large fraction of the parties are actually dishonest, then either P1 has to send to really many parties or otherwise the protocol will not work. In this case, P5 and P7 will not receive the message. With this in mind, let's revisit our blockchain example from before. We had the blockchain all to be the total order relied on the majority of honest resources and on such flooding network. Now, if we instantiate such flooding network using the traditional approach, then this in fact implies that we need an assumption on the number of honest parties and not only on the resources. So it's naturally wondered that we could build a flooding protocol that will in turn build a total order only based on the majority of the honest resources behaving honestly. So in this work, we asked the question, can efficient flooding be realized assuming a constant traction of honest weight? The answer is sounding yes. So our contributions are that we first provide the new flooding protocol called weighted fan out flooding. This has the properties that it's secure assuming any constant traction of resources being honest. It has logarithmic diameter, which means that delivers messages to all parties very fast. And it has message complexity that is comparable to state of the art that relies on a majority on some assumption on the number of honest parties. Additionally, we provide extensive simulations of the weighted fan out flooding protocol and this confirms the practicality of our protocol. Thank you for your attention.


What's good, Josh, you brought us back again with another video. So I'm going to check out 10 most pointless WWE Royal Rumble wins. Now we've seen in the past where you would think someone is more deserving or the crowd wants a particular wrestler to be the Royal Rumble winner. And then you see that's not the case. Vince McMahon and creative have a different idea who should win that said Royal Rumble that we may have wanted someone else to win. So we're going to check out some of those moments where we just just sat there and just wondered what the hell they were thinking. What was the point of giving this person the Royal Rumble win? Should be a good video. Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel, man. We're going to be checking out some more Royal Rumble related bids leading up to the 2024 Royal Rumble. Looking forward to it this year. Let's get right into this one, man. A winner is one of the most important booking decisions of the calendar year. Yeah, the winner must be a talent that WWE believe can main event WrestleMania and potentially win the world title on the grandest stage of them all over the years. WWE have booked numerous nonsensical Rumble winners. A Rumble winner in question was nonsensical as WWE never had any concrete plans to feature that specific wrestler in a major role. And it was a case of poor planning or poor foresight on the part of WWE. Additionally, there have been times where the winner of the match has been so underwhelming and predicted that the winner has greatly impacted the buzz and notoriety surrounding the celebrated matchup. Join us now as WrestleMania looks at 10 WWE Rumble wins that were completely pointless. Subscribe to WrestleMania if you haven't already. Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive leads. Also, check out our new website, WrestleLambia.com. Number 10, John Cena Royal Rumble 2013. When it comes to the Royal Rumble match, fans like to see an unpredictable rumble as a predictable rumble traditionally leads to negative reviews and disappointment. Yep. In 2013, it was a foregone conclusion that John Cena was winning the match. Yeah, it was heavily reported that Cena versus The Rock 2 for the WWE title was the plan for WrestleMania 29. The rumble match itself was rather lifeless and Cena, as everyone predicted. Yeah, we knew. We knew it wasn't even it wasn't even it was like, what's the point of watching? We know John's going to win this to run it back against The Rock. We knew it. It was just like, let's just get this over with. Won the match whilst the star power of Cena can never be denied. This was the perfect opportunity for WWE to make a new star. Yeah. The world title match at WrestleMania 29 was still up in the air and WWE had yet to lock down an opponent for Albert Del Rio. Seeing a name such as Chris Jericho or Dolph Ziggler win the match would have been a huge surprise. Yeah. And it changed the entire perception of the match. WWE would have been able to book Cena to win the annual Elimination Chamber match to secure Cena versus The Rock 2 for WrestleMania. That's that's that's literally all they had to do. That's how that's how easy you could have just fixed that. You could have could have made a nice moment for an up and up and coming star or somebody else. And then you could have did that. Elimination Chamber called it a day. Yeah, it would have been predictable, but you could have did that. At least the Royal Rumble winner would have been something new and fresh people weren't expecting. Number nine, Oscar Royal Rumble 2018. The inaugural women's Royal Rumble received critical acclaim. Yet in hindsight, Oscar winning the match was completely pointless.  And in one of the most controversial moments of the past decade, WWE were booked Oscar to lose clean to Charlotte. Yeah, when you think about it, it is kind of pointless because it didn't shot Charlotte should have won that match. If you're going to do this, it should have been Oscar. I stand on that. It should have been Oscar. Charlotte could have taken that ill or got her win back at a later time. It should have been Oscar. On the grandest stage, this felt like a huge slap in the face to everyone who had invested in her. And WWE had used Oscar's Rumble victory as a means to further elevate Charlotte come WrestleMania 34. Yeah, point is Stone Cold Steve Austin at Royal Rumble 1997. It's sometimes the case that WWE crowned the right winner of the Rumble. Yet the follow up to their win renders the victory completely obsolete. In 1997, WWE booked Stone Cold Steve Austin to win the Rumble matchup. And this was a hundred percent the correct move. Austin's work as a heel wish tremendous. And he was slowly ascending to become one of the top stars in the entire wrestling industry in a unique move. Austin never received his title shot at WrestleMania 13. Instead, he received it at in your house, the final four. Due to the 97 Rumble ending in controversy as Austin re-enter the match to eliminate Bret Hart in the final stages, as well as WWE champion Shawn Michaels vacationed the title. WWE decided to book an all star Fatal Four way at the aforementioned final four event. Austin would take on Hart, Vader and the Undertaker to crown a new champion. And the match would be won by Hart number seven, Albert Del Rio. I don't know. I get what they're saying. Like in hindsight, it didn't, you know, it didn't pan out to them having what I mean, they didn't end up having the match at that years WrestleMania, but it wasn't because of the role rumble and how things happen. I mean, it worked out. I don't know if that would have been on the list for me personally. It kind of it ultimately worked out that needed to happen in my opinion. And then a lot of people's opinion for Stone Cold to get to the point where he needed to be at, honestly, especially since he was going to be feuding with Bret for the title. So I don't know if that should have been on the list to be honest with you. Well, Rumble 2011 during Alberta Del Rio's early days in WWE, they truly believe that Del Rio was going to be the next big thing in the company. Granted, Del Rio was gifted in the ring, yet he never truly had a genuine connection with the audience. WWE were booked Del Rio to win the 2011 Rumble. And this was a welcome change of pace. His fans firmly believe that the wind would go either to John Cena or Randy Orton. The problem with Del Rio winning was that WWE and to an extent the WWE fans were still on the fence regarding Del Rio being world champion. This therefore meant that when Del Rio challenged Edge for the world title in the opening match of WrestleMania 27, they booked Edge to defeat Del Rio, rendering Del Rio's win as a huge waste of everyone's time. Yeah, when you really think about it, they didn't really matter that he won. At the time, WWE had the Rumble winner in the opening match of WrestleMania received vast criticism, as it was a clear sign that WWE didn't see much value in Del Rio versus Edge world title showdown. Nope. In 2006, Sheamus will Rumble 2012. Heading into the 2012 Rumble, most of the focus was on Chris Jericho. Jericho had just returned to the company and fans were excited about the inevitable Jericho versus the unpunct collision at WrestleMania 28. Fans were firmly expecting Jericho to win the Rumble, yet when Sheamus pulled off the shocking victory, fans were stunned. Nobody saw this coming and Sheamus wasn't even amongst the favorites to win the match, so WWE had gone for a completely unpredictable option. Similarly to Del Rio the year prior, Sheamus would challenge the world title in the opening contest of WrestleMania and this was a match which lasted just 18 seconds. Sheamus would put the talent to Daniel Bryan to win the world title, creating a memorable yet infamous moment. And the problem with Sheamus's Rumble win and subsequent world title reign was that WWE were never committed to presenting Sheamus like an actual world champion. Yeah. Sheamus wouldn't main event a single pay-per-view as world champion and most of his feuds, particularly the one with Del Rio, lasted far too long and were often met with utter silence from the audience. And that's, and it's crazy because him winning that really spawned the whole Daniel Bryan yes movement even further and it really catapulted Daniel Bryan into that main event scene. So it's, it's, it's really crazy when you think about it. How certain things play out may not make sense in the long run, but if he doesn't win that Royal Rumble, we don't have that situation with Daniel Bryan. If you think about it, that's, that's the crazy thing about the whole situation. He needs, Sheamus needs to win that Royal Rumble in order for Daniel Bryan to get the push he needs from the fans even more. That's crazy. Number five, Charlotte Royal Rumble 2020. Booking a Royal Rumble based on backstage politics is always a recipe for disaster. Yeah, that's reportedly what happened in 2020. WWE were going to book Shayna Baszler to win the women's Rumble, yet due to collective debt, WWE decided to give Charlotte the victory. Speaking on the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed why Charlotte won the match and this is what she had to say. Shayna Baszler logically should have won to set up the Becky Lynch WrestleMania match. Yeah, I was scheduled to win. I get why they switch from Roman Reigns to Drew McIntyre. I know why they switch from Shayna Baszler to Charlotte Flair. I think it's just a collective debt, so to speak. Charlotte Flair has been promised things in the past. Then had the rug pulled out of her, which is funny because the perception is the exact opposite. Charlotte would then go on to defeat Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 36 for the NXT women's title, and this was a title win and reign that nobody asked for. No, Charlotte being associated with the NXT title was a move that ultimately did absolutely nothing for the status of the title. Nope. Number four, Baptiste. I'm definitely still on the Shayna Baszler definition of winning that Royal Rumble. That's back when they had some type of promising idea for Shayna Baszler being this dominant force in the women's division, but didn't really pan out like we thought it was. Mr. Royal Rumble 2014. When Baptiste returns to WWE in 2014, the company had set creative plans in place for the WWE legend. Baptiste was going to win the Rumble and challenge Randy Uton for the WWE world title in the main event of WrestleMania 30. The problem was that fans had zero interest in seeing Baptiste face stagnant and tiresome babyface role and fans had firmly decided that they were going to stop at nothing until they made Daniel Bryan the number one guy in the company. This all led to one of the worst rumbles of all time and the match was received so poorly that it factored into WWE coming into the realization that Baptiste as a babyface simply wasn't going to work following his Rumble victory, Baptiste would keep his WrestleMania spot yet Daniel Bryan would be added to the match and a welcome move. It goes without saying that Bryan should have won the 2014 Rumble, the fact that WWE were so stubborn with Baptiste's babyface presentation was a testament to the problems in their creative department at the time. Number three, Lex Luger, Royal Rumble 1994. The WWE were always hesitant to crown Lex Luger as their top babyface and this was never more obvious than in the 94 Rumble. Luger was the logical favorite to win the match based on his prior on-screen presentation yet fans had organically decided that Bret Hart was the guy to carry the company into a new era in a move that has never since been replicated. WWE will book Luger and Hart to win the 94 Rumble match and as a result both men would challenge for the WWE title in two distinct singles matches at WrestleMania 10 Luger would fail in his attempt to become WWE champion at WrestleMania whilst Hart would be successful and would close out WrestleMania 10 as WWE champion. Luger being a co-winner of the 94 Rumble was ultimately pointless. Yeah, if WWE gave the soul victory to Hart. Number two, Ronda Rousey, Royal Rumble 2022. On the surface, the 2022 women's Royal Rumble felt like an unpredictable rumble that anyone could have potentially won. However, when just before the show, it leaked a line that Ronda Rousey was returning the match. It became inevitable that the baddest woman on the planet was winning the whole thing. Rousey, if she's going to be in the match, she's not losing. We knew that. We knew that. Oh my God, bro. It was just like, well, here we go. His in-ring work in the match was lackluster and it was hard to tell if she was supposed to be a baby face or a heel. Following Rousey's win, she would challenge Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 38 and the two would have a dull encounter which Rousey surprisingly lost. WWE had booked Rousey to win with any concrete creative plans in place which was very frustrating as a viewer. If Rousey had returned during the build-up to the rumble and explained her character motivations, then perhaps a win would have made sense. Yeah. And number one, Vince McMahon Royal Rumble 1999. The 1999 Royal Rumble was predominantly built around a showdown between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Vince McMahon. That's a fair one. The two entered into a match at number one and two respectively and everything outside of any interactions between the two presented as inferior and irrelevant in the match. In a shocking turn of events, McMahon decided to book himself to win the match. He was a non-wrestler who had now won one of the most prestigious matches in WWE and fans remain baffled as to why McMahon believed that this was actually a good idea. Thankfully, McMahon would never make it to WrestleMania 15 as Austin would eventually earn the spot to challenge the Rock. Meaning that McMahon's rumble win had no purpose other than to create a further obstacle for Austin on the road to WrestleMania. But they have it folks. They could have did something else when you really think about it. He didn't have to win because it ultimately they knew the result was going to still be Rock versus Austin. But I remember watching that as a kid and I was so pissed, bro. It worked as a kid. I was pissed.  Stone cold once again. I was so mad. So, so mad. But like I said, in the hindsight, when you think about it, doesn't really make sense. It was kind of convoluted, but it still worked in the grand scheme of things because it was a different time period. You can get get away with shenanigans that make a lot like no sense at all. Like doing that nowadays with with how social media is people would definitely not be cool with that. That's like triple H or Tony Khan being in like some type of Royal Rumble situation and then they win it. What? Especially if they're not active wrestlers. What? No, it would not work in today's time. But back then stuff like that was kind of common. Comment down below. Let me know some other pointless Royal Rumble winners. If they weren't listed in this video that you felt like in your opinion, it doesn't have to be the popular opinion. It could be your opinion exclusively to you where you felt like that person should not have won the Royal Rumble.  But I appreciate all love support. You guys shown on channel wrote 250k and I'm still getting speedy. You two wrestling champ of the world. Appreciate y'all kicking in with me. See y'all next one. Peace.
