Welcome to the Inequality Virus Press Conference at the Davos Agenda. I'm joined today for our first and only press conference of the day by Gabriela Boucher, Executive Director at Oxfam International, Rebecca Marmaux, Chief Sustainability Officer at Unilever, Derek Hamilton, Professor of Economics and Urban Policy at the New School, and last but not least by Pilato, musician, artist and activist. Before we get started on our press conference, I'd like to do a little bit of housekeeping. Please, if you have any questions, please use the chat feature. We'll be collecting their questions and then giving them to our panelists after their little engagement and then we'll need for those questions your name, your organization and where you're dialing from. So, let's get started. Gabriela, today Oxfam International released a very dramatic report on the status of inequality and the impact that the pandemic has had. Can you share with us some of the conclusions and findings of that report? Thanks, Alem. And so we're here united by one common goal, to fight inequality. 2021 must be the year we see governments wake up to address the inequality crisis and people want change. Just before COVID, we saw powerful protests in countries across the globe against inequality and now this week again. And this course is changing. Global bodies from the IMF to the UN are prioritizing the issue of inequality. Professor Schwab of the Weff wants the world to move on from neoliberalism. We've seen New York Times commentators to activists in Davos even talk about abolishing billionaires and it's not just them wanting change. So it's kids who've seen their parents die when healthcare is a privilege for the rich. It's nurses who demand safety and decent pay more than applause. The pandemic has made clear we should value nurses more than we do billionaires. So what's our data saying? First, we risk facing the greatest rising inequality since records began. Secondly, it could take more than a decade for billions of the poorest people to recover from the economic hit of the pandemic. While at the very top, as if they're living on a different planet, just 10 billionaires, all men have seen their wealth skyrocket by half a trillion dollars since March. Our report also details the profound impact of systemic racism and patriarchy. Nearly 22,000 black and Hispanic people in the US would still be alive if their COVID-19 mortality rates were the same as white people. Think of the families who can't hold their loved ones because leaders refuse to address inequality. Our simple ask is for governments to explicitly commit to equality and to get working on it to make it their goal to end extreme inequality and abolish gender and racial inequality altogether. More specifically, I'm at Davos in this virtual way to push for a people's vaccine so we can all get a jab against the virus, not just the richest countries and people, which is what's happening. We need universal healthcare, as middle-income countries like Costa Rica have achieved. We need to tax the richest as Argentina is doing. Invest in the fight against gender-based violence as Canada is. We want every company to be taking the kinds of steps unileveries across its supply chain. And more, pursuing equality is the moral thing to do, but the pandemic teaches us that it's also common sense 21st century economics. So I ask if not now, when. Thank you, Gabriella. Rebecca, Gabriella mentioned the work that Unilever is doing and the major announcement that you made last week. Can you share a little bit of what Unilever does to tackle this inequality issue, but also what the role of the private sector is in addressing this issue? Evening, everybody. Congratulations, Gabriella and Oxfam, on a great report. I think in addition to the pandemic, we've all seen over this past year the two other main issues, the top of everyone's agenda are climate change and social inequity. And I think what the Oxfam report has done today is highlight the importance of tackling it across all sectors. They've dealt very well in the report around this first issue with the takeout being that there are key structural and systemic inequalities in the world, but have sadly been further accentuated by COVID. So in response to your second part of the question, what's the role of the private sector? I think it's really clear we need to reshape society and economy so that there is a new model that brings longer term prosperity for everybody. So I guess a new normal. And I think from a Unilever perspective, what we look at is how companies can take that responsibility and adopt it right the way across their full value chain. So really try and address social inequality in a much more collaborative way. So just a couple of examples you asked me about some commitments that we made last week. What we've tried to do is to set out a very holistic approach to helping to bring about a more equitable world in four key stages. So the first part is about getting our own house in order. The second part is about what we can do across our entire value chain. So from the farmers and the sourcing of our crops and commodities all the way through our value chain and our manufacturing through to our retailers and out then to our consumers and our customers around the world. The third part through our brands. So how can we use the power of big brands like Ben and Jerry's to have an encourage better social positive impact. And then lastly about working to drive systems level change. So working with others on advocacy, partnership, industry collaborations. So we identify three key areas where we can believe we believe will make a big difference. The first is around raising living standards. So enabling millions of people in our value chain to achieve a decent standard of living. The second is around creating opportunities through inclusivity. So thinking about how do we eliminate barriers, help to create new opportunities for excluded and un-served populations to engage with our business. And the third around preparing people for the future of work. And then underneath that we've got eight very specific commitments. So including things like a living wage or living income to everybody who is directly providing goods and services to you believer by 30. So really thinking about how do we focus on the most vulnerable workers in agriculture. Equitable work culture. So thinking about how do we achieve a much more equitable culture through progressive policies and practices really eliminating bias and discrimination. For example, this morning we announced that we're joining the West partnering for racial justice in business coalition that's working across workplaces of 48 others. Things like supply diversity, spending two billion annually, two billion euros annually with diverse businesses by 2025. Skills for young people helping a quick 10 million young people with essential skills to prepare them for jobs by 2030. So a whole host of different things. I've touched on a few of them there but I hope during the panel we get a chance to discuss some of the others. Thank you. Derek, you've, well you've had quite an inferential voice on in the US and with many politician backing your ideas. Can you give us a little bit of what role the public sector can play but also specifically to this new administration that just went into the office. What can they do to make sure that inequality is still at the top of the agenda. I mean we certainly have to deal with the urgency of this pandemic economic and health crisis but beyond that you know we need to move and transition towards economic rights. I think realized or not the civil and political aspects of human rights have been ingrained in our public psyche but at least as important are economic rights. The right to assembly and choice they're limited for individuals that lack basic needs like a job, income, shelter, food and healthcare. Of course the globe as your report more than adequately highlights throughout history in extreme inequality has persisted and in plain sight racism sexism and other isms are strategically used to consolidate economic and political power. Of course that's unjust it's immoral and it's all about power relationships and this pandemic reveals the collective public and economic vulnerability but it also reveals a system that actively produces inequality with race as a focal point. Obviously that's immoral we have black brown and poor families that began this with low wealth and adequate healthcare working in precarious but essential jobs with few workplace protections lower wages and lower benefits. We can say with certainty that if we don't act that this inequality will only manifest even more in the aftermath of this pandemic particularly with regards to race gender and ethnicity but that is unless government acts to change that reality and that's another key point that this is not inevitable that there are things that we can actually do to change this reality. At issue has been government complicity and generating facilitating that extreme economic and political inequality described in the report. Incrementalism and changes on the margins they're not going to cut it in order to reverse those decades of poverty, discrimination, and economic and political concentration. We're going to need a bold overhaul of our laws and our economy. We can continue down this path of deregulation, lower taxes on the wealthy, gutting of government services under the guise that this is going to generate a market dynicism that's supposed to trickle down to all of us or we can make a profound change towards a more sustainable and moral economy with government interventions to facilitate the assets, economic security, civic engagement, human dignity, and social mobility for all its people regardless of their race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or their gender status. We need a new industrial policy that centers workers, that centers people both domestically and abroad coupled with explicitly anti-racist and anti-sexist economic rights in order to promote a fair economy grounded in our shared prosperity. In other words, we should reject the empirically unsubstantiated rhetoric that centers inequality and deficit behaviors or ignorance and recognize that there are indeed resources that people need in order to have flourishing and authentic agency and choice in their lives. Commit to justice as a matter of faith. Don't let the timeliness of what we perceive can and cannot achieve constrain us. In other words, commit to our prosperity and recognize that it is ultimately our economy, our government, and our monetary systems in order to fund economies and government to do great things for people. Thank you. Palato, you've, well last year we saw the power and the impact of grassroots organization and your music and activism reached millions of people. How can we ensure that that dynamism that we saw really is used to enact real change and isn't dispersed as we move on to the next issue? First of all, we must understand that music has so much power, so much power that it has, it can influence, it can shape the direction of a society. So music has so much power that it can be understood even by the less literate, the less educated still do understand music and the most educated will still understand and appreciate music. So music has so much power that it can influence across social classes of people. So it is this music, it is this power that music has that we use to bring people together and influence them towards the specific cause and in this case, specific cause which is inequality. So we use this power to bring people together. What should be done is one, what should be understood is that even as we discuss inequality as a concept, it is the people, it's the grassroots people that understand that lead that experience in equality. Inequality is not a political issue, inequality is a humanity issue. This is an issue, this is a reality that so many of our people live with and involving them, putting them together, making them understand, allowing their voices to be heard, allowing their concerns to be heard is the most effective way of getting to the root, is getting to the solution of inequality. I am a member of the fighting equality alliance, which is a global movement, working to address and fighting inequality across the globe. And what we've learned through time, over time, is that there is nowhere we can find a solution to a problem we do not understand. As we address issues like inequality, the first step is how much do we understand this problem? And there's no better group of people that understand inequality than the people themselves that experience that live at the forefront of inequality. So the grassroots are the key in addressing a lot of these issues and especially inequality, and music brings them together, music with its power delivers a message and empowers those that are less empowered, it empowers the weak in our society. So grassroots are the solutions, grassroots has a solution to what we are grappling with, and that is inequality today. So music brings them together, music gives them that power and platform to express themselves and be allowed to be heard by people from across social classes. Thank you. Thank you. Wonderful statements and so thank you so much for sharing. I'm going to open up the Q&A. So if anyone wants to ask questions to my panelists, please put it in the chat feature, add your name, your organization, and also where you're dialing in. We have quite a diversity of dialing in. We have two people from the UK. I'm myself in New York, so is Derek, and Pallant always dialing in from Zambia, so I look forward to see who's joined us today. But in the meantime, I also want to open up the opportunity for my panelists to ask questions to each other. You guys have shared, you know, Rebecca shared what Unilever is doing, Derek, what are the public policy that needs to be enacted? Pallant, you know, the power of the grassroots, the people who are living this inequality day in, day out.  What surprised you the most? I know for the first time, Oxfam is also looking at race as another dimension and the intersectionality of inequality and race. I'd be really fascinated to hear your thoughts. Thank you. Yes. I think, yes. I wanted to go back to what Pilato was saying also. So those people who experienced inequality in their daily lives are those who most know about it, and we need to ask them and they're part of the solution. And at the same time, there is somehow a perception that is too complex, that is a system that is beyond ourselves, and somehow a certain inevitability, sort of thinking that it's something that we're somehow destined to live in. And Derek was also referring to that. And we, I think, what we need to do is unpack and definitely say it is a choice. And there are historical reasons why certain groups are marginalized, have been marginalized, and that we need to address these historical reasons and compensate in such a way that we create a more level playing field. So not to accept that these things have been the way they are and they should continue, but they really need to change. And I think the pandemic has exposed this in a more extreme way, but as I think we've all said from different angles, the situation was already extremely unequal. And this is why the pandemic is, again, hitting in such unequal ways. So we need to somehow come out of this vicious cycle of inequality and find their policies that can be implemented. And there are plenty of examples from countries that are doing it, businesses that are doing it, like Unilever was just sharing, and also people movements that strongly believe, as Pilato was explaining. So there's from different perspectives, there's that conviction, we need to bring the pieces of the puzzle together to really achieve this transformational systemic change that Derek was talking about. So it's sometimes from depending on what the angle that you're looking at, it looks too complex, but we can also break it down into concrete elements. And I think one that we have been talking about this this weekend that is very clear in the report is that we measure, rather than we are all measuring in countries and businesses is measuring sort of on the side of figures. So GDP is an obsession, economic growth. So what does it mean really if a country is growing, one country may be growing at the same rate of another, but if there it is much more unequal, then all that growth is going in the hands of a very few people. If in another country it's very distributed, then we actually more people are benefiting and the difference is much greater. So if we focus more on what is happening with the people themselves and focus on well-being and also sustainability measures, then we are measuring the things that we really want to impact. So I think it starts with that how do we measure what matters and then introduce policies that make us achieve those goals. Derek, I can see you nodding a lot. Do you want to add?  And you know, the way Gabrielle just finished with talking about measurements, measurements of values. So how we define our economic well-being in terms of how we measure it also defines our values. So what do we want to center? I mean, do we want to center people in their capacities to thrive and flourish? I mean, that is our most treasured resource, people. So investments in people, in my view, should be central in how we identify economic well-being. And then the other point I just want to make quickly is, you know, some clear themes that I observed from what everybody says are, you know, catchword, intersection. Well, the intersections of everything that's been discussed and the inseparability I think is critical. So understanding that art is inseparable from economics, is inseparable from race, is inseparable from political economy, from politics, that they all link together towards propelling systems. And that may seem complicated in nuance, but at the root of it is basic rights. At the root of it is the ability to have housing, the ability to have a decent income. And these are things that we can facilitate. And through art, for example, we express narrative. We can define whether people are deserving or undeserving based on something of their gender or race. Through art, we can define what a moral economy looks like. So that's the point about them being inseparable. To think that we can, and I know I'm talking a lot, I'm going to stop in a second, to think that we can isolate economic well-being from political well-being is a misnomer. There's no such things as markets being natural, they're political constructions. And to think that we can think about politics and isolation from the power that corporations can bring to defining politics, that's a misnomer. And then likewise, we run the risk of being vulnerable to despotic authoritarian leadership if we don't recognize the ways in which race, gender, immigration status can be weaponized in our society to pit one group versus the other in order to offer horizontal positioning in exchange for vertical positioning in an immoral way. It's critical for us to understand these intersections. I agree. We definitely cannot separate any of these things. And I think we're realizing the fallacy of trying to attempt it. I have one more minute before I have to close out this press conference, which feels very short, because I feel like we're just starting to get to the root of it. But what I will do is invite the participants on this press conference who are attending to read Oxfam's International's Inequality Report. It's a fascinating read. I think it will surprise people. But I also want to thank everyone for joining us today. And I want to especially thank my panelists for making the time and really providing their voice to addressing and tackling inequality. So thank you, everyone.


Arterial pulse is a pressure wave that travels along the arteries when left ventricle contracts which actually expands the arterial wall and this expansion of the arterial wall is felt as pulse. So first point to note is that it is not due to the blood flow, it is actually a pressure wave whose velocity is much more than the velocity of the blood flow and the velocity of this pressure wave changes from if we see the central arteries that is the aorta towards the peripheral arteries. In central arteries actually it is quite less approximately 4 meter per second and in peripheral arteries it is 16 meter per second. So if we feel this pulse the contour which is felt that is how the pulse is coming and how the pulse is going away that is known as the pressure waveform or the contour or character of the pulse that is felt differently in central versus the peripheral arteries and in central arteries we actually palpate the carotid artery to feel this arterial pulse waveform. In the peripheral arteries because of increased velocity and actually there is decreased compliance of these peripheral arteries the pulse is felt more rapid and is actually spiking. So the peak is of greater height in peripheral arteries compared to that of the carotid artery. So to assess the pulse waveform we have to palpate the carotid artery. So let us see what is this normal pulse waveform. Well due to the ventricular contraction what happens that the pressure starts rising and because of this pressure there is blood flow also into the aorta. Now this creates two pressure waves in the artery okay due to the ventricular contraction. Then we know that when the ventricular contract in the second ejection phase actually the pressure starts falling. So here also we see a fall in the pressure until and less there is closure of the aortic valve. So at this point there will be closure of the aortic valve and because of this closure there will be vibrations set up. Plus little bit backflow of blood will also happen which will create a little bit notch in the falling pressure. So this is the falling pressure which was happening and due to the closure of the aortic valve little bit rise in pressure is seen. So this is the normal pulse waveform and it has different components. Let us see what are the components. So first we talked about that from beginning till this part this part is happening in the systole phase of the cardiac cycle and this second part is happening during the diastole phase. So if we see in the systole phase two waves are seen this is the percussion wave and this is the tidal wave. Now normally these two even though I have drawn a separate normally these two are felt as one only they are not felt as two different peaks. Why? Because they are occurring too fast almost together they are occurring so they are not felt as two different peaks. However remember this percussion wave and tidal wave because in certain conditions when they do not occur simultaneously then they will be felt as two different peaks. Now there are certain names here which we should remember this entire normal pulse waveform is known as catacytic pulse catacytic pulse okay. This is the normal pulse waveform then it has two different limbs this is the anacrotic limb and the second one is the diacrotic limb. So this falling phase is the diacrotic limb in which the beginning part of the falling phase is due to the late part of the ejection phase and when the diastole starts with the closure of the aortic valve so here if we record it is happening at the level of second heart sound along with the second heart sound and this uprise little bit uprise is known as diacrotic notch okay. So there are certain terms which you should remember. Now with this simple explanation let us directly go into the abnormal pulse waveforms. So here I have drawn a normal pulse waveform and before we jump into the abnormal waveforms little bit physiology here we should remember that this contour or character of the wave depends on certain things and one is stroke volume because stroke volume will determine the peak of the pulse then ejection velocity just remember this we will bring on these factors when we are discussing about abnormal waveforms then there is vascular compliance vascular compliance is important because if vascular compliance is less then we will see more peak of the waveform as we said that in peripheral artery there is less vascular compliance so there we actually feel the spiking pulse and finally there is systemic vascular resistance that is the peripheral resistance so these factors influence how these pulse forms will be. So let us directly jump into the abnormal pulse. So first abnormal pulse which we will be discussing is pulses parvas pulses parvas and this term parvas means low amplitude pulse so if we draw on this the pulse will be something like this the amplitude will be less and what we said that the amplitude depends upon what it depends on the stroke volume so here means that the stroke volume from the heart is less that is why we are getting the low amplitude pulse and what can be the cause of this whenever there is low blood in left ventricle or the strength of contraction of the left ventricle is weak so this can occur in case of shock or in case of the mitral stenosis because in mitral stenosis the amount of blood which comes to the left ventricular that is the endostatic volume will be less so this is pulses parvas. Next is pulses etardus the term etardus means slowly rising pulse it is like tired okay slowly rising pulse so if we draw it here the peak will be same but it will rise slowly okay and when can this occur one example of this is left bundle branch block when actually the whole ventricle doesn't contract together so the force generated by the ventricle is not that much slowly the force will be generated however the peak will be same only so that is pulses etardus now we combine these two so there becomes another pulse that is pulses parvas etardus so in pulses parvas etardus the pulse is low amplitude and slowly rising also so if we draw it how it will come it will be something like this right so it is slowly rising as well as the amplitude is less and this kind of pulse is seen in aortic stenosis now can you tell why it is occurring in aortic stenosis because you see in aortic stenosis stroke volume is less so we don't see that peak and ejection velocity is also less so that is actually a slowly rising pulse because there is some outflow obstruction and that leads to slowly rising pulse now in severe aortic stenosis sometimes you might have seen the pulse form which is drawn is something like this actually right so what we see is little bit not here in the systolic uprise and this kind of pulse in aortic stenosis is known as anacrotic pulse so the normal pulse which we saw what was the name that was the catechronic pulse this pulse which is notched in aortic stenosis that is known as anacrotic pulse so what we are seeing here is that there is little bit splitting so there is a percussion wave and this is a tidal wave but this is not same as the pulses bisphirians remember little bit just not is seen actually I should draw a little bit like this okay and when feeling the pulse you will feel only one peak but better this is seen when we are recording the pulse so why there is this splitting because as I told you that in catechronic pulse the percussion wave and tidal wave are coming together but here due to little bit obstruction what is happening that this tidal wave comes little bit later so these two waves kind of separate so this kind of notched pulse in the rising phase of the pulse waveform that is known as the anacrotic pulse and seen in aortic stenosis moving on to the next waveform that is the water hammer pulse or the corrigans pulse this pulse is seen in case of aortic regurgitation and how it is seen there is a rapid upstroke and there is a rapid fall of the pulse waveform so there is fast uprise and fast fall why it is occurring well in aortic regurgitation there is increase in blood in left ventricle why it is there because the aortic valve is not closing so in the previous diastole the blood flow occurs back into the left ventricle causing increase in the end diastolic volume in the left ventricle this leads to increase in a stroke volume due to the frankstyling mechanism more end diastolic volume leads to more stroke volume and this leads to increase in the upstroke so that we see this rapid fall see actually the peak is more the peak is more okay so there is a fast uprise then again during diastole what happens the aortic valve doesn't close so there is back flow of the blood so that pressure wave is set in so this back flow causes rapid runoff of the blood into the left ventricle so that leads to the rapid fall so this one is simple seen in aortic regurgitation now moving to the difficult ones which we find little bit difficult to understand and that is pulses bisvariance what is this bisvariance means that there are two peaks which we see in the systolic part of the pulse waveform so what we see here is something like this okay so two peaks are seen in the systolic part of the wave itself so two peaks mean simple what we have seen that there are two waves percussion wave and tidal wave so actually they have separated this is the percussion wave and this is the tidal wave and why it is occurring first case in which it occurs is severe aortic regurgitation so what is happening in severe aortic regurgitation that we saw that how there is increase in the stroke volume this also leads to increase in the ejection velocity of blood from the left ventricle into the aorta now because of this increased ejection velocity there is fall in pressure in aorta why it is occurring well it is based on the Bernoulli's phenomena that whenever the kinetic energy increases the potential energy actually decreases because the total energy is constant and this component of the energy is basically the pressure exerted on the lateral walls so when this kinetic energy is increasing because increase of the ejection velocity the lateral pressure is decreasing now this causes a pull of the wall of the aorta so the aortic diameter decreases understanding so if diameter decreases what is happening it is actually creating some kind of block in the flow compared to the normal condition and hence there will be delay in the next part of the waveform so that is the tidal wave so any block if occurs that will lead to kind of splitting between the percussion wave and the tidal wave and that will create two peaks in the rising part of the pulse waveform so one condition as I told you that it occurs in severe air another condition it occurs in hocm what happens in hocm the left ventricle is hypertrophied so left ventricle hypertrophy it means the force of contraction which occurs will be much more and this will lead to increase in the ejection velocity correct so initially we will see this pressure wave but in hocm there is dynamic obstruction in the outflow so this obstruction again it will delay this next part the outflow of the blood will be delayed and actually in hocm there is little bit difference from what we see in aortic regurgitation what we see there is a rapid upstroke and then this tidal wave is little bit delayed and this is better appreciated by means of recording so this is second reason of pulses disvariance third reason third reason is ar plus aortic stenosis and can you tell why again because ar will cause the increased ejection velocity and there will be percussion wave but the obstruction in the flow will be caused by the aortic stenosis hence causing the splitting of the percussion wave and the tidal wave so this is pulses bisvariance contrasting with pulses bisvariance there is another pulse with two peaks that is known as pulses dichroticus pulses dichroticus or dichotic pulse here also we see two peaks but the second peak occurs in case of the diastolic part of the wave so in pulses bisvariance before the closure of the aortic ball we are seeing two peaks that is in the systolic part of the wave in pulses dichroticus one peak we see in the systolic part and the other peak we see in the diastolic part that is pulses dichroticus and when does this occur this occur when there is increase in peripheral resistance why as we discussed in the normal condition that this is the diastolic part and what happens that after closure of the aortic valve there is runoff of blood in the peripheral circulation but when there is increase in the peripheral resistance in that case this runoff is inhibited the velocity will not be that much instead with the aortic valve closure the backflow which is occurring and the vibrations which are set up are much more because the blood is not flowing forward so it will set up more vibrations so we see two peaks one in systole one in diastole and pulses dichroticus when there is increase in peripheral resistance and one common cause is hypovolumic shock now remember that this is very commonly confused with pulses bisvariance if we feel both in both we feel two peaks so to differentiate between the two the recording of the pulse waveform is required next moving on to pulses alternance pulses alternance is something which is basically change in the amplitude of the pressure waveform with successive beats so beat to beat variability of pulse amplitude so we have to draw multiple waveforms for this so maybe this is the amplitude in first rate this becomes amplitude in second b then again then again decrease and this type of pulse occurs in case of severe heart failure why well in heart failure the stroke volume will be less right so when a stroke volume is less what will happen to the systolic uprise of the waveform it will be less right but due to this decreased stroke volume in the first week you see the end diastolic volume which is present in the left ventricle in the second beat will increase right because the percentage of blood which has been ejected out was less so end diastolic volume increase and again due to the frank styling mechanism this will lead to increase stroke volume in the second beat so then we get a rise now again the blood volume which is present in the left ventricle again end diastolic volume will become less so we will get less amplitude of the pulse waveform so this is known as pulses alternance because the amplitude is alternating more and then less coming to the last type of abnormal pulse that is pulses paradoxes and pulses paradoxes is appreciated while recording the blood pressure remember so what is this pulses paradoxes pulses paradoxes is greater than 10 millimeter mercury fall in systolic blood pressure with inspiration so normally also with inspiration there is fall in systolic blood pressure but when this fall becomes greater than 10 millimeter mercury that is known as pulses paradoxes so the name is a little bit confusing actually there is exaggeration of the normal phenomenon it is not a paradoxical condition but still the name is pulses paradoxes so let us see why first during inspiration there is fall in blood pressure actually when we inspire there is negative intrathoracic pressure and due to this negative intrathoracic pressure there is pooling of blood in pulmonary circulation so less blood is going to the left ventricle causing decrease in the end diastolic volume in the left ventricle and hence there is decrease in the stroke volume from the left ventricle and since stroke volume or the cardiac output is the determinant of systolic blood pressure there is fall in systolic blood pressure during inspiration but when this response is exaggerated there is more pooling of blood in pulmonary circulation and less end diastolic volume in left ventricle during inspiration that leads to pulses paradoxes so how to record this for appreciating this pulses paradoxes what we have to do that we have to record the blood pressure and we have to note the systolic blood pressure that is the point where corotkov sound start coming then slowly very slowly we have to decrease the mercury level okay decrease the pressure and what happens that you will see that there is a point that corotkov sounds come here continuously so the first level when you hear these corotkov sounds they occur only during the expiration phase of the respiration okay and here they are independent of the phase of the respiration so they are here they are occurring continuously but here from the beginning to this new level where this corotkov sounds are occurring continuously they occur actually intermittently that is only during the expiration phase so we note down these two levels and see how much is the difference between the two levels and when this difference is more than 10 millimeter mercury then it is known as pulses paradoxes obviously easy to tell but you need a lot of practice to record to appreciate the presence of pulses paradoxes and what are the causes of this pulses paradoxes there is tension nemothorax there is pulmonary embolism severe obstructive lung disease so these are basically the respiratory problems which are occurring and there is pellicardial tamponade which will not allow the blood to flow into the left ventricle so that was all about the various pulse forms few things to remember that normally the pulse waveform is felt in the carotid artery however only the pulses bisferias the pulse with two peaks in the systole phase is better femoral and brachylatory so I hope you understood the physiological abnormalities which will lead to various abnormal pulse waveforms because we saw how changes in the stroke volume ejection velocity vascular compliance and peripheral resistance was changed in the pulse waveforms thanks for watching the video if you liked it do press the like button share the video with others

Former South African president Jacob Zuma has continued his efforts to avoid imprisonment. His lawyers have urged a high court to stop an arrest order made last week by the country's highest court, the Constitutional Court. According to the order, the police was arrested Zuma by midnight on Wednesday after he was sentenced last week to 15 months in prison for contempt of court. Zuma's lawyers argue that the court should stop the police from arresting him until the Constitutional Court rules on his application to rescind the sentence which will be heard this month. Well, joining us on the news tonight is a senior analyst with the Southern African Times, Farai Moviti. Hello, Farai. How are you? Farai, please unmute your mic so we can hear you. Oh, great. Oh, sorry. Thank you for having me. I'm great. Thank you. Thank you so much. You can hear me now? Yes, I can. I guess within the era of Zooms, sometimes we may not zoom in. Yeah, that's understandable. That's understandable. It's good to have you with us. Thank you for having me. Well, it's about an hour to midnight. What do you foresee happening? Well, I think the South African scenario in as far as Jacob Zuma is concerned, you articulated the matters relating to his legal issues. I suppose in the context of that background, what we may see is today a judgment by the High Court to contest Zuma's lawyers launched a case with the High Court asking for the issue relating to the constitutional court to be rescinded, what the court has reserved judgment till Friday. There are two arguments from the South African legal opinion. What they are suggesting is that either the constitutional order, the constitutional court's order will remain in order for the police to fulfill it by end of day tomorrow. But equally, the other side of the argument is that, well, the police have written a letter to the constitutional court requiring a stay of that particular judgment awaiting the judgment of the High Court itself. But equally, that said, the constitutional court on Saturday accepted to hear the argument from Jacob Zuma's lawyers. So we may not see an arrest in as much as there is enthusiasm to see it. There are two fundamental aspects at play here. There's the question of national security and the basis of how it has caused unrest within the country after the judgment had been passed. But equally, there's a question of justice. So it's yet to be seen what the outcome will become. OK, so we keep our fingers crossed. Well, our continent is one of strong men who circumvent laws. Give us a sense of how that happens in South Africa. What's the situation in South Africa? Well, you start your question by making a piece of position of which one is to assume that I am meant to support. Well, I don't necessarily agree with that. I think that our continent has multiple democracies and they should not be seen as a monolith. So what happens perhaps in Nigeria or what happens perhaps in Malawi will not be simultaneous to the context and materialities occur in South Africa. But to answer your question directly, I suppose, within removing the presuppositions, one looks at South Africa as through the lens of the parties and issues that are happening. What was meant to be an ANC issue in relation to its own internal divisions has become a national issue. And perhaps it's inherent to a degree with the liberation movements within the frontline states of South Africa. But it is not to be misled as an issue beyond the legalities that we have highlighted. We have here a former president accused of corruption that has not yet been proven in the court floor. The legal process is undergoing. And bearing in mind that this particular contempt of court was not in relation to any of his ongoing cases, but in relation to the issues pertaining to contempt of not going to the commission. So in South Africa, there are two arguments at play. One argument suggests that perhaps Zuma is utilizing delay tactics leveraging his own support base to ensure that he sees a different legal outcome by applying pressure to the authorities. The other argument, however, is that perhaps the constitutional court is being used to subvert justice on his behalf. And that is his argument. But this is neither here nor there. I think the fundamental issues here are related to an internal political dynamic that simply needs to be looked at in isolation. In as far as the legal process, based on past judgments so far, there is precedence to the argument on both sides. It's, I suppose, with these unique circumstances. It's going to be quite enthusiastic too. I rather, what I mean to say is I'm enthusiastically waiting to see what the outcome should be. OK, well, while we wait for what the outcome would be, let's guess. What impact would an imprisonment of a former president make in South Africa? Well, I think in South Africa, we have a precedence within the case of Kavunda during the time of the leadership of Chiluban. And it had a regional response and it had a continental response. But in the context of Zuma, my submission would be that this may, if we're judging it on the basis of what happened in Kangida on Saturday, where Zuma's village is, the potential for national disturbance, particularly seen in German, in Eastern Pretoria, in Popo, and other regions within the country, not the cities within the country. It has potential to destabilize the country. So I suppose to borrow a thought from a legal mind from South Africa that suggests that there is going to be a distinction here that the president would need to make, which is, is it going to be national building or the pursuit of justice? However, in the pursuit of justice, one has to read it as a case that is quite unique. Because South Africa does not have a precedence of a former president being jailed. In fact, the other argument is that in similar circumstances, when it came to a commission of inquiry relating to apartheid, former apartheid leaders simply who refused to attend that commission got a slap on the wrist by virtue of having to just pay a fine. So this sentence is being read through that lens in other quarters. But there is also another quarter that sees this as just a principle to strengthen the constitution of South Africa by setting an example for all future heads of state, post-democracy, post an apartheid government, to ensure that they preserve the integrity of the institution of government and equally preserve the integrity of their party, in this case the ANC. So there are two arguments in that regard. As opposed to conclude, I would say in order to answer your question, the assumption would be that there is going to be need to marry two realities. And I do not end with President Ramakosa. Well, thank you Farai Muviti. I wish we could go on with this discussion, but time would not allow us.

I'm your host on Think Tech Hawaii today, Cheryl Franklin, and today I will be joined by a very good friend of mine, a owner of NK Management and Entrepreneur, and we're going to be talking about the age of COVID-19 as it relates to being innovative and how it affects condo land. So why don't we start with you, Mano, and welcome, and thank you for joining me today. Thank you for having me, Cheryl. How's everybody doing? Good, good, good. So let's just take a moment and just have you introduce yourself and tell the audience a little about you. I know a lot about you, so we'll just share with the audience. Yeah, I'm an entrepreneur. Cheryl, I would say my story dates all the way back to Texas. I was a refugee and I came to America in 1975, joined the military at 21. The military brought me to Hawaii. I got into condo management, got some really, really good mentors at Touchstone and Cheryl knows all these people too. I started my career at Touchstone and then I went to Hawaii first under Richard Embry and then a Vice President and Associate before I started my own firm five years ago. Yeah, yeah. And like you said, we know a lot of the same folks and I had the pleasure of working with you for a little while and venturing down the entrepreneurial lane, if you will. And as the owner of NK Management, NK Management is a site management company, correct? We did start off as a condo site management company and in condo land in Hawaii, there's resident managers, there's general managers and site managers all pretty much doing the same thing, but they just have a different relationship with the board, right? Resident managers live on site, site managers just come nine to five, they don't live on site and then the general managers, they're the ones that are at the larger hotels with the large staff, but they don't necessarily live on site either. But we all pretty much serve the same purpose for the boards. But then we've diversified since then doing landscaping and we just got our general contractor's license with the DCCA. Oh, that's exciting. I didn't know that. We just, you know, during the COVID, I have an RME, he took the exam and everything is just backlogged right now. But yeah, we're doing some minor renovations as well. But we've evolved since the last five years. Yeah. As it relates to site management and you're venturing into other aspects of that. Have you had to change your operational infrastructure much in lieu of COVID-19 and that's such a, that's such a, that's a loaded question. I think that depending on all the challenges that you have, I think your operations always gets tweaked to some degree. And, you know, Cheryl, we've known each other for a long time. I'm a big fan of tech. If an app can make our jobs easier to save time and resources just through some freemiums, through technology, I think you were the one that told me about Trello like six years ago. And I use that platform to store a lot of my governing documents. It's free. It's password protected. But yeah, you know, what's interesting is during the COVID, I think a lot of entrepreneurs are now being forced to use technology, you know, zooming for board meetings, storing documents online. I mean, if you're not already there, you're behind, right? I think this pandemic is going to force people to work more efficiently with technology or not, right? They're going to have a harder time. Yeah. Are you finding that most of your boards or associations are pretty, pretty open to our new normal and, you know, new ways of doing things? Are you having zoom meetings? We are having zoom meetings. And of course, the early adopters are going to have a lot more fluidity using the technology. I think a lot of people have iPhones and they underutilize them. But, you know, like my iPhone, I mean, it's not a commercial iPhone, maybe they should sponsor me, but I literally run my company through my cell phone. I have access to all the documents I need now. I think when, earlier in my career, I would follow the president of Touchstone around Jim Merrill. I'd go with him from meeting to meeting and he'd have this thick binder of like bylaws and house rules and decorations. I remember those things. Right? And he's tugging this thing along. And then nowadays, like this, it's been replaced with this, right? Yeah. And so, I built the company with that in mind. So now that like during COVID, I have access to documents I don't need to be physically on site to, you know, to have access to information. And I think that's very important, especially now. Yeah. Yeah. No, I remember those huge workbooks. I think they were about this thick, big blue and had all the minutes and all your documents and the financials, financials and everything. And we used to have this big wheeled briefcase that we travel traveled with. And so, you know, we've come a long way, and things are getting faster and smaller. And more efficient.  And we have to standardize all of our buildings, right?  Oh, well, what does the maintenance guy do on Wednesday through Saturday, right? If this guy is out, the next guy should be able to come in and follow his procedures and do them, right? And we've, it took a long time, but we, we finally started, we had to build the system to use the system, right? So if you just take a new building in and you don't have the system in place, you have to build it, right? Like, if you had like a 10-unit leak, and there's a brand new building, you don't have everybody's phone numbers, right? So you have to like, you know, I have to get contact. You have to build it. You have to build it out. Then you utilize it. So, oh, there's a leak. Okay, well, the SOP is the contact owners, A, B, and C in these units, well, we don't have their numbers, right? So, you're bad for you. You got to come in and start, you got to build that system out to use it more. And again, if there's leaks now, I don't have to go knock on the door and see who's there. I'll just call, hey, Mr. Yamamoto, can we come and inspect your unit? Are you home? You can do so much with technology, text messaging, emails. So anyways. Yeah, I think when I met you, you and I used to go out to lunch and talk about the future and talk about technology, remember? We did. We do it often, but you know, it's a lot of work up front. You know, otherwise it's garbage and garbage out, but in the long run, it's worth it, especially when you can even automate the input, you know, taking spreadsheets, if you will, and uploading into a program or software opposed to manually inputting everything. And the future is where AI can actually read documents. I've seen some companies do that where they have automation that kind of scans your documents and, you know, and kind of extrapolates all the important information that, you know, a manager would need. Of course, right now, AI, you know, you have to have the quality control. You still need folks to kind of look over that to make sure the checks and balances are there, but I mean, the future is now we're getting there and at a rapid speed.  Yeah, and, you know, I've had the privilege to work for three different management companies. And I know I can tell you for one that there's one company that has endless resources, you know, the largest in the world, which is a social, and they had the best technology, they had everything that I think they had C3, they had, they had like the latest in like Adobe Acrobat, you know what I mean. So if you needed to like assign documents, you could print, you know, you can save as a lot easier. But nowadays, there's a lot of, again, there's framiums out there where you can use the keyword searching for like OCR text reading. Reading through like pages and pages of governing documents and bylaws is makes your eyes bleed. And again, using using keyword technology is huge because just before we went on air, right, he was asking us for keywords and because we there's an audience out there that would find this interesting and we want to hashtag it and keyword it so they can find it and make maybe this is useful, right. Yeah, yeah, well that's definitely what we want to do continue to provide information and to continue to look for ways to help the audience. Innovate you and I also have in common that we're entrepreneurs at heart and I know that during this time, a lot of folks are looking to come up with creative ways to move forward and innovate and ideas are coming to the surface and you know, now's the time to use this extra time per se, although not everyone has a lot of extra time because working from home. But I find that a lot of folks are having a lot of creative ideas that are helpful during this time, you being one of them I know that you have another project that you're working on. And I'm excited about and you know I want to give you the some time here to kind of share that idea with the audience and let them know you know what kind of exciting things you're working on. So sorry if there's noise in the background we're doing construction but they're doing a really good job but you might hear some banging in the back. Thanks. I've, you know, I did get my MBA in 2017 at UH Manoa, and I've been surrounded by some of the most brilliant young leaders in Hawaii. A lot of my friends are CFOs in the hotel industry. I mean, they told me back in earlier this year, hey man, we're going to lay off 50% of our staff. Yeah, they're hit hard. It's hit hard, right. Yeah. I've had a lot of restaurant friends just closed down the restaurants during this time. And I think right now, you know, I listen to Mark Cuban a lot about how companies have to be, you know, innovative and compassionate during this time. If your, if your website isn't geared for you to accept online payment and transactions, you're already buying the curve so hire a web designer pay the money it's worth it right because you got to get your product and the customers hands without as easy as Fast, yeah. But no, the innovation for us. We are a site management company offering different types of services for maintenance and site management. So, you know, I have a background in medical. I was a hospital corpsman and a licensed emergency medical technician. When I was in the USS Navy US Navy US Navy as a hospital corpsman for many years. I don't think I knew that about you. I'm full of surprises. Yeah. But we always had to be ready with our medical supplies. The Marines and sailors we took care of. We always needed to have PPE so I have some back then yeah. Yeah. And for me, you know, during when this all came about earlier this year, I called a friend very good business guy in Vietnam Min Lee shout out to him. He used to play professional tennis before that he played for UC Berkeley tennis and he stayed in Asia made a lot of connections and has some. We have some factory partners that are mass producing these antibacterial mass. They're not they're not medical grade. They're not in 95s, but only really the only like construction guys and doctors and nurses need in 95s. If you're not in the industry and you're wearing in 95s, then you're protected, but it's a little excessive. Yeah, let's let's get into that in a moment right after the break. Right, right. Yeah, so it's a good place to take a break. So let's take a break. Pick up right there where you left off. Okay. Sounds good. All right, we'll be right back. Aloha, I'm Christine lenders, a physical therapy specialist and the host of movement matters. My show is designed to teach you the simplest and most effective treatment strategies to get you out of pain and back to doing what you love. If you or someone you know is having pain in a certain area of the body with like a free assessment and treatment over media or in person and then come on the show to talk about it. Email us at think tech movement matters at gmail.com. Or if you have a topic you would like to know more about, please email us. My goal is to decrease pain all over the world, inspiring people to take better care of their bodies to enjoy life to the fullest. I look forward to hearing from you. Welcome back. And thank you for joining us. If you're just joining us, we're talking with mono when a management. He is a CEO and serial entrepreneur and before we went to break and he was telling us about a wonderful innovative idea that he's, you know, taking on and why don't I let you continue telling that story. Hello, thanks for having me again. And thanks for all that you do to have the show going. Yeah, we were talking about innovation. And I was discussing my medical background in the military, and just just being, you know, prepared for either disasters. This disaster happens to be this pandemic, right? So the first thing that came to mind was, you know, mass, you know, Vietnam is a very advanced mass culture because it's the air quality is not that great anyways. So my friends over there were like, look, the factories were going to shut down a friend of friends factories like 1500 employees. They immediately became a mask producing factory overnight. And they became essential.  Right. So just partnering with my friend men. He's moved over a million masks to Japan. We've, we've moved a lot to the US to nonprofit organizations, veteran organizations, different hotels here in Hawaii and we've been customizing it with their company logos. And that's been, that's been a new venture. I never thought I would be selling product, but that's what we're doing. And, you know, there's there's short term gains, of course, financially, but primarily I wanted to make sure that our team was prepared. We had proper PPE, my family, my church, you know, we've been donating a lot to first responders, HPD nurses. And I always say it, if you, if you guys need masks and you're on the front lines, call me, I'll gladly donate it. We'll have to make sure that, you know, we let the viewership know exactly where they can, can find your mask. And I think that's great that you're doing promotional masks because even on, you know, different properties. You know, often you'll see the staff, they have like custom or promotional shirts, right? And so why not coordinate with the PPEs or the mask, if you will, so that they're easily identified on the property. Well, I think you follow, you know, what the CDC saying, it looks like we're going to be in the social distancing new norm society for a year until like a vaccine comes out. Well, if, if we are, if we are, whether, whether people are afraid or not afraid, like, right, the powers that be you're going to put the standards so they're not held liable. We're going to be wearing masks and then I think a lot of the major brands are going to want to exercise corporate responsibility. And we, we could be right here, you know, with with that opportunity. So we have the ability to move millions of masks at a time from Vietnam. And they're they're really high it's really high quality fabric. So right now we're working with a couple of doctors I can't say too much but there's a few hospitals and they're trying to get us into the VA but fingers crossed, I mean, again, at the same at the end of the day, we're helping people. And we have the ability to do it right now. And I think because we're all gridlocked with travel quarantines and travel bands. All the top investors in the world right now, don't know about Vietnam, maybe they will after this video comes out. Well, I know. And you know, I have my own ideas. So we'll be talking about that. Yeah, I was excited I contacted Jeff Dickinson over at Hawaiian properties their shipments have to come in they they ordered a lot with their own company logo. Now Guzman from colon he ordered a bunch but a couple of hotels that I know they want to be ready because as the economy slow rows rolls and everybody starts getting back right we want to be safe. Yeah, well, then then be ready so hotel managers that you guys need to happy be for employees. Please reach out to me because it takes about a month turnaround time because they're they're producing mass for the prayer everybody else. Wow. And I think another key element in that that is attractive because like you said, so many vendors or companies may or may not produce mass, but when there is a community when you're involved in the community in terms of donating mass to hospitals and things like that, it brings added value. And I find that, you know, people including myself like to support those kind of causes. So when you know that you're involved with an organization that's also giving back and paying it for your, you know, that's kind of another incentive to just, you know, kind of go ahead and, you know, support that company. Yeah, you have a background for all of that.  And so it's the world's opportunity to come. Thanks. Thanks, Cheryl. No, I mean my, you know, my wife got I got a call from some of our friends from legal aid and the foster the foster youth of Hawaii wanted to raise money. For the foster kids. And we we worked at a deal to sell it to the mccost and that that that just happened and that's that's just my wife's, you know, professional connections here just again, man, if we can help right now. It's it's a time to help right because like social media is just saturated with death and all these numbers and what the president is doing with this. I was like, look, I'm not going to get into all that. I mean, I can I can get worked up over it or I can figure out and just make my own contributions. However, however way we can right so right. These are what we do. We do have control over these things. So yeah, just doing what we can. Yeah, well we need to share your contact information or your website. Yeah, I'll give it to you and if you guys will put the link for the mass in there. Definitely www.nk-management.com. Okay, sounds, sounds good. Sounds good. So, so yeah you're pretty busy these days and happy to hear it, and happy to kind of share some of the some of your insight in the industry, you know, with the viewership. And some of the things that you're seeing and changes that you have to make and, you know, and supporting the community and, you know, keeping your business strong and the community safe and the properties that you manage. That's a lot. You're, yeah, you have a lot on your plate. You think so. We're all given 24 hours and I want to, I want to make it count because we got to make time for our families right. How much time do we have left. I think about we have a little time maybe about five minutes or so. You know, I'll, this is this would kind of be part of our wrap up, like, when I was in grad school, I was friends, I was in a group, I was in a group with this guy in Tice he was a farmer, and he was the most sought after farmer in the Netherlands he had like, develop some really sophisticated like aquaponics or hydroponics in the Netherlands right. He got recruited by Monsanto. Anyways, long story short, we, we had all these projects in grad school. And I came up with the most excuses because, hey, man, I got a business, I got a family, you know, I can't get to this project. And he called me out. He's like, Hey, man, we all got families, we all work, you know, and he turned his Google calendar around and showed me he's a look man. I have I work here I do I put homework here I have family time here I study here. He's like if you're not taking it seriously if you don't use your calendar, maximize your day you're going to you're going to fall behind right and so I really started like just filling up my calendar as as my own like assistant, you know, and that's those are those are some of the things that's helped me as I was for just stay organized is using my calendar. Yeah. Yeah. No, it helps a lot. It helps a lot, because you, you find that you need in order to accomplish anything you just need to block out time and stay organized and keep that calendar fell.  I'm going to send you a book. It's called a double your double your double your profits. You'll realize you like the title so I will appreciate that. I'm going to send you that book because it was recommended to me by a friend and it's it's helped me out the mindset a little last year. So I'll send it to you. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. And I just heard the little thing. So I think this is a good place to wrap up. Thank you so much for having me. Of course, of course, I want to thank you for joining in and kind of sharing with us what's going on in your world and how you're giving back and, you know, paying it forward and changing the industry and, you know, I'm always proud of you. I'm proud of you. Let's, let's get together soon. Okay. Yeah, let's do it. All right. So thank you again everyone for joining us. Please turn tune in every Thursday for the condo and cider show at three o'clock, and we look forward to seeing you again. Thank you.


Hi everyone, Joe for jashbyscasebreaks.com. What do I have going on? We got this going on right here, 2018 Tops Chrome Baseball Monster Box Version, Random Team Number One. So, standard one box break at the end, we'll take all 30, it says 29 right here, that's just a typo. We're gonna take all 30 names that are in here and we're gonna randomize, re-randomize everybody's names at the end of the break like we've been doing and the top two names are gonna win spots in transcended, which is pretty close. Could we do it tonight? I don't know, but we do break until midnight, so we got a lot of time to make that happen if we want to. So, think about it folks, jashbyscasebreaks.com. No pressure, I know it's pretty expensive, we don't have to do it tonight, but we could if you wanted to, which we appreciate, thank you. All right, big thanks all of these folks. So let's do the break itself first, let's roll it, let's randomize it two and a three, five times for each list. I know BJ Jordan's motivated for that transcendent. Nice Stephen K, yeah, we'll add that to the schedule. I know we're a little backed up a little bit, but we'll add that to the schedule in a little bit. After five, we've got Matthew down to Rick. So Randy's in transcendent, four left. Five times, right? Plus the two remaining filler breaks. So after five times right here, we've got the Astros, boo, down to the Giants, boo. All right, so there's, I'm not gonna read off all this, but there's the first half, actually this is 2018. So this is Otani here, so Leonard Jacob, there you go. Leo, good luck. And there's the rest right here, right? Trade window closed, it's a quick little break. People just wanna see who wins those transcendent spots. Anyway, DWC, trade window closed. All right, so let's print and Rick. All right, good luck everybody. Oh, BJ Jordan wants a little bit of ludicrous on this playlist here, all right, okay. And transcendent has sold out straight up. And Ryan Schachl had to do last spot mojo, fair. Now we just need to do another one of these, number three, which is on the site. And then we have to do the leaf flash, which only has 12 spots left, 23.99 to get a, chase a transcendent spot. Then we're in Brakesville, transcendent Brakesville, which we'll be with Nick a little bit later tonight. My shift is almost over, top of the hour. That's just a flew by. It's Friday, flew by. We still have other breaks to do too. Inception 21 coming up out, you can do schedules in the chat folks, if you wanna take a look at that. Inception 21, and then Prism Retail six, sold out before five, then we'll do Prism Retail five. Those are probably gonna be with Nick. And then Blaster 19, and then Flawless NFL. And then I think Cup Hockey and a number of other breaks will happen right there too. Absolute's been sold out? Yes, absolute will be on there as well. All right, let's do this. Raphael Devers, Glaber Day rookie, Victor Robles rookie. And these X-Fractor cards are pretty nice too. All of these will ship. And Doohar, Alex Wood, Manny Margot, Kyle Seager, Corey's brother, and Jose Ramirez, all of those of course will ship. I'll sleeve those later. All right, now let's go back. Let's go back here, and let's grab everyone's names from Matt down to Chad. Are they talking about trading Victor Robles to even pump? It's got a lot of upside. They could probably get a lot for him if they needed to. All right, so let's roll it. Let's randomize it seven times. Top two names after seven, good luck. And I said seven, right? Seventh and final. Again, after seven times. Big thanks everybody who gave this a shot. There's still a few opportunities left to try to get it to transcend if you didn't make it here. On Jaspy's casebreaks.com. Top two is gonna be Dane Azumi, congrats. And Chad Watanabe. Chad and Dane, congrats to you too. Thank you very much for getting in, really appreciate it. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next break. Bye bye.


What's good y'all? It's your boy Ross back again with another video. So it's been a few hours Since WrestleMania 40 ended It's still surreal to me and a lot of others that we are now in a new chapter in this ongoing story That WWE has been telling now that Cody Rhodes is the new champion and Roman Reigns He is no longer the champion For three years Roman Reigns has been synonymous with the guy carrying WWE and finally that is not the case anymore and it's still just a surreal feeling to to know that you know Cody actually did it and We're gonna see what his chapter what chapter his next story is going to involve being as the champion going forward But we talked about that last night. I want to talk about Roman Reigns This is why I made this video Because I've been seeing a lot of people on social media With the hashtag. Thank you Roman and I love it Because we really saw Something special and I think it's starting to hit people how special the title reign was I think people knew that it was But now that it's actually over It hits a little bit different And I'm not gonna lie to you His title reign will go down as one of the greatest of all time To be honest with you In my lifetime This is probably the greatest title reign I know people that was born in the 80s 70s and beyond they may have a different viewpoint on it But people that grew up in this generation Not even just take out the attitude there take out the ruthless aggression there The future the young men and women and kids that are growing up in this generation They're gonna coin Roman Reigns as one of the greatest if not the greatest of all time and had the greatest title reign of all time and me personally I'm didn't grow up in this particular era, but I can still say comfortably Yet the greatest title reign of all time You could say it was stat padded whatever the case is, but at the same time His matches For the most part especially those first two years and even sometime on the last year this last recent year Those matches were must see And it was all in part of his character change it was all in part of him finally finding that line between Who he is as a person in the character he's portraying he's more or less himself But being able to find that line where people can't tell where the character ends and the real person begins When he came back And he told Vince hey In order for me to come back. This is how it has to be because he finally had that leverage and Vince agreed which I Know Vince is not liked by many people Understandably, but that's probably one of the last great things Vince McMahon did was actually agreed to do this And let Roman Reigns Be who he needed to be all this time And I also think because COVID was a thing Vince was more willing to let things fly because they didn't have audiences. So he Said all right cool. Let's see what you do And it worked out Something that he should have did a long time ago It worked out and ever since then Roman Reigns has been literally The best thing on WWE TV if you want to say where the Renaissance era really truly begin Or the groundwork was placed When Roman finally turned heel That was it when you saw that shot a Roman sitting next to Paul Heyman it was over and Then they cultivated the bloodline story and then the bloodline story had different sagas Chapters and arcs around it the Sami Zayn stuff with the bloodline is still one of the best things I've ever seen on television WWE television one of them for sure What they did with Sami Zayn was fantastic peak bloodline stuff What they did with Jay and Jimmy before it kind of got muddled, you know kind of got messy Jay and Jimmy leaving for a bit great stuff what they did with Jay Being one of the first members of the bloodline and how he had to get to that point to finally cave in and acknowledge Roman Reigns was fantastic Roman Reigns mannerisms The way he he coined the phrase acknowledge me Everywhere he went how natural he felt on the microphone Cutting promos. He became cool. He became what everybody wanted him to be for so long Instead of him being forced to be cool. He became cool because he was more of himself The body it worked that he was putting in the matches the quality of matches I'd say this all the time during the pandemic era before I was doing like the live-stream reactions He was usually my favorite main event He was my favorite main event main event match because we were seeing something different and it was it was beautiful to see And I love to see everybody showing love and appreciation even Cody At the end of WrestleMania and the press conference that I I know me and him we don't like each other But I hope I'm half the champion that he was He's the greatest champion One of the greatest champions and had the greatest tyler reign of all time It's truly an end of an era But it's not the end of all things because triple H also said There's more in store for Roman Reigns. If y'all thought this was crazy thought this was good Are we just getting started? and hopefully That leads to a rock and Roman Reigns storyline, which oh my god I know that was what they were trying to do this year But I think they needed to wait and cook this up put this in the oven and let this cook and We may see something great Roman Reigns definitely deserves his love and admiration I'm giving his flowers everyone else is as they should He has held this company on his back. He is the foundation of the Renaissance era He is because he was carrying WWE and has been carrying WWE and has brought a lot of fans back. He is a draw They have made him into a mega star And you got to give him credit for being that foundation Because we didn't know who was going to be the next John Cena They wanted it to be Roman, but it wasn't his time Now is his time he he has he was this generation's John Cena stone called the rock whatever But he's always going to be Roman and he did what he needed to do And he is the foundation of this Renaissance era And then everything else starts to fall into it The matches the feuds fantastic, bro Fantastic, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he does going forward I think we still have some great stories to tell with Roman Reigns and when it's all said and done When he finally hangs up the boots I think a lot more people are going to say Roman Reigns Is the greatest of all time out of any era? I think a lot more people are going to say that because he is what Hell, I I wouldn't even be mad if Anyone from my era said I wouldn't be mad from any era saying Roman Reigns is the greatest because he's been putting in some of the greatest work Hasn't been perfect, but damn near he's been killing it But before I end this video I actually want to um Give a special shout out to the the members in the interclutch discord I asked them to do this for me since I've been seeing it on social media And I could have easily went to twitter and just typed in the hashtag.

Oh, also tani with another good Moment also, I know he's in a tough spot right now But the last man standing match versus brock really kicked off this new era too considering this was triple h First ples head.
