What's the best fitness approach for high school students? Watch this. Our next caller is Sarah from Connecticut. What's up Sarah, how can we help you? Hi, so I just want to start off by saying I am so grateful that you guys are letting me ask my question and I'm so excited to be asking it. I am a longtime fan. I've been around since Adam was competing. And you guys have truly been like the magic pill of like my health and fitness journey. And so I just want to say thank you. Awesome, thank you. Sal is a pill to work with too in case you're wondering. Yep. Yeah, so my question is I'm a high school biology teacher and I've been given the opportunity to pilot and create a biology of sports performance class at my school. Cool. So this is truly an opportunity for me to create a dream job. So I want to do it right and make sure it's as successful as possible. It's meant to be geared toward the high school athletes so they can learn how to maximize their performance in their sport through training, nutrition and recovery. Although the regular student will also be allowed entry into the class. I'm very excited to say that my principal cleared this for a year long science elective class and will be allowed to access the school's brand new weight room two days a week during class time. We will spend the other three days of the week in the classroom. The goal for students by the end of the year is to design and implement a five week program working towards a goal they identify to help them better perform at their sport. The biology portion of the class will be focusing on anatomy and physiology of relevant body systems and we'll be working on improving scientific literacy by unpacking and analyzing scientific studies some of which I plan to grab from what you guys have discussed on the show. So I need your help in planning the sequence of how to teach the fundamentals of training principles to students. There's the classroom portion of things like how to manage frequency, volume and intensity, movement patterns such as squat, hinge, press and pull, movement patterns and different planes of movement such as the saginal plane, the transverse plane and rotational movements, the difference in benefits of compound versus isolation movements, the difference in benefits of bilateral and unilateral movements and eventually how to possibly write an effective training program. Then there's the portion of teaching proper form and mechanics of lifts in the weight room. So I will also have access to bands and PVC pipes in the classroom for working on mobility, isometrics and things like trigger sessions. I wanna do my best to blend a theory with the science says and reality to give students a deep understanding of how they can be the best athletes they can be. So my question is how would you recommend to sequence teaching, training to kids both in the classroom and weight room simultaneously as theory and implementation don't always line up? This is awesome. Yeah, I wish I had you. Everything you just said is awesome. Yeah, and like Justin said, you obviously have been listening to the show for a long time. This is way cool. You know what, Justin, what do you think about sharing with her what you're doing right now with the football team, the high school football team? I think the way you laid that out with the Isometric Foundation and then you build upon that, if you want something with like a philosophy or a theory behind it on like how we would teach somebody those, I think what you're doing with them is pretty solid. I think what you're proposing is much more comprehensive. What I had to kind of do was scale back in terms of what I could establish pretty quickly without having to educate and explain too much.  It's amazing. Like I think this is a whole course that kids could go through and find a ton of value with. So for me, it was really just about like hitting, the biggest offenders as quickly as possible. And that's really just like body communication and stability and control of their body. And so that's where I found a lot of value in Isometrics and placing them in these positions and these split stance positions in positions where they have to build strength and generate force. So we've been going through like the first month, month and a half, we're gonna be doing Isometric Heavy and then doing a unilateral in conjunction with that to address a lot of those things right out of the gates. And then progressing them further into like more of our five by five type style with compound lifts. And so I mean, I have this whole thing is a potential full blown program for student athletes in the making, but that's something that, maybe we can communicate offline later and I can kind of show you the full sort of scope of it. Sarah, I'm gonna speak from a student perspective. So first off, I wish I could take this class. I wish I had you as a teacher in high school. It sounds super awesome. I know the challenge with teaching anything to anyone is can I get them excited about it? Because obviously an excited, interested student is gonna absorb way more information than one that's maybe not so excited and not so interested. So you've been listening to the show for a long time and so you already know that our formula is entertain and then also throw in information. And we did that on purpose because we learned as trainers that most of our clients were not fitness fanatics. And if I was talking to a fitness fanatic, I could get real deep in the weeds with the science and talk specifically about training and adaptation and they would love it. Like if I did that to my clients, I would have lost half of them three months in. So I had to really figure out how to communicate to them in effective ways. What I'm gonna recommend to you is to use a lot of analogies. Analogies are really cool. Like an example would be the analogy that we use about the central nervous system and muscles and the relationship. And I like to use the speaker versus the amplifier analogy. Another thing would be to talk about myths, right? So when you have your students in there, you could talk about some of the most common myths. Like lifting weights makes you bulky, right? That's a big myth and how to speed up your metabolism. Like I think that would get kids kind of excited. Like what do you mean faster metabolism? What does that look like? And I thought lifting weights did make me bulky. You may even wanna bring up contributions of different types of exercise or sports into kind of what you're talking about. So I would have a picture of Arnold. What have bodybuilders taught us about how the body adapts to exercise? Like what has power lifters taught us? And you can use celebrities so that the kids can be like, oh, I know Lance Armstrong. Like what did we learn from that kind of training? And how does that work? And how does that make my body perform even better? You might even put something up and say, why do we find attractive bodies attractive, right? So that's kind of a lore. Like what do you talk about? Why do we think men with broad shoulders and tight waist, like well that may show signs of better performance and higher testosterone levels and why do we find these types of things to look better than others? There's a biological component. I think those things would make people very interested in kind of what you're talking about. But honestly you ran down the list of the stuff you're gonna talk about. I can't think of anything else that I would add. Really aside from just trying to make it kind of to hook them, right? Yeah, hook them with the myths and maybe ask them like what's a better way to, if somebody's trying to get lean and lose weight, what's a better approach?  And then you can go in and kind of counter some of the myths because that gets people hooked right out the gates. I like the example of your different avatars. And you can make it very simple in terms of what typically their training protocol would look like as a difference. Just because of what you brought up with them trying to create their own program, it'd be cool to put those examples there just to give them some kind of baseline. Right, for every one of these adaptations that you went through, which I think are all the ones that we'd wanna cover in a foundational class like this, I would do exactly that. But before we get like too deep in the weeds, cause this literally, we could turn this into like a three hour conversation right here. I mean, that'd be great, I wouldn't mind it. Well, this is what I'm gonna do for you. So, and I think this is the best place for us to start. I think all of us are, when you were reading it off, you should see the looks on all of our faces. Everybody was like, oh, this is so cool. We would love to help you. So I think the next step for us to help you would be, it already sounds like you're on the right track. I think to start to lay out what the curriculum is gonna look like and then running it by Justin or one of us or all of us, you can email us personally. When we hang up, I'll have Jerry, cause you're in contact with her, give you our personal emails. And then what we can do is just kind of, as you're working through it and you put stuff together, we can give our feedback of, oh, I love that or maybe add this to it. I think that's probably where we'd be the most valuable versus giving you all these like vague random ideas. Yeah, you know what was really cool too? Totally. You know, just something else, Sarah, is that when you show, when you can show a student a change immediately in how their body's moving, it's really exciting. So I remember one time I took one of my first certifications and they were talking about how you could get a muscle to elongate easier. So what they did is they put us on the floor, they had us do a hamstring stretch. You could only go so far. And then they said, now I want you to push against the person who's stretching your hamstring and hold that for 30 seconds, which I did. And then relaxed and all of a sudden I got three more inches of flexibility immediately, right? So I was like, oh my gosh, this is so weird.  Like that kind of stuff gets people so engaged and so interested in kind of what's going on. So I can't stress that enough. Like if I would, and I did, I did volunteer a few times and teach nutrition and exercise to students. And I'd really get them excited by doing stuff like that. Cause once I got them engaged, it was the rest was, you know. Well, I mean, I think we're throwing a bunch of things at Sarah that she's probably good at.  So I think what you're looking from us is the expertise on how you program the curriculum. And I definitely think that we can help. And I would like to help you. So, and I think the place that we start is you begin laying out what is, you know, what is, you know, first month or week of the curriculum you're planning on it to look like. And then allow us to kind of put our two cents in and do that. And I think this is great because Justin is literally in this world right now. We were on the last, we were flying from Utah just last week, a week before. And we were all looking over what he was creating for these high school students right now. So this is kind of where we're at right now. And I think that maybe you guys could definitely help each other out. Yeah, that would be, that would be very much appreciated. Cause that is where I'm struggling. It's like, I know all these principles for myself and I know how to apply them to myself, but in terms of like how to teach it to kids. So it's understandable and digestible is where I'm struggling. So like the order of how to teach it to them. Yeah, yeah. Excellent. No, no, yeah, we'd love to get involved. So appreciate your questions, Aaron. Thank you so much for what you're doing. These kids are really lucky. Yep. Thank you. Yeah, how fun. Yeah. I wish I had that class. Yeah, I know, right? It's, you know, though, it's really exciting that we're seeing stuff like this.  And it was so generic. I just think if you teach kids about their bodies and what's happening and here's why you feel this way and here's what happens when you do this and that. I think it's so valuable. This is like valuable life information because when I get them as adults, as a trainer and they hire me. We have to unpack so much nonsense. They just don't know anything about what's going on and how this works and why do I feel this way? And it's like, my God, we could have learned that. Well, I love, I really loved your idea of give these kids a, you know, a famous person or athlete. Oh, I know, I was picturing it. That's perfect, right? Like literally you could, you know, and that's how I think I would write this curriculum and let's, the way Justin programmed to give like a generic overview is like, you know, he did a lot of central nervous system training at the beginning, right? So isometric, right? So that's the foundation of it, right? So then I would pick like a sport or a person that you can connect that to and say, what did they teach us about that? I mean, like the benefits of isometrics and then break down all the science that supports that. And then so for this first month, kids, we are gonna be learning some of the best isometric moves and this is how we would apply it to your workout. This is why we're doing it. Here's where we learned it from. Or imagine you have a picture of like the rock, like how does, how do you guys think the rock works out? How he actually works out? What could we, what do you think he could do different? What can we learn from that? What about this particular celebrity, this person? Because it just gets the kids like, oh, I follow that person. I want to see what they're doing, you know? Just to get them engaged. Yeah, and it's trial and error too. So she doesn't have to put so much pressure on this to be perfect. Like honestly, that's the biggest thing I've learned is as I'm going through it, I'm writing notes even to the program that I had written down on paper. And this is just something we learned as trainers anyways, is that, you know, we iterate. We constantly iterate based off of the feedback. And so, you know, it's gonna find that it's obviously a different audience and they're gonna respond a little bit differently. And like you said, I think the celebrity angle, you're gonna find, you know, moments like that where it's more relatable, definitely lean into those moments. Totally.

Good evening aspirants. Welcome to the Hindi news analysis by Shankar Ayes academy for the date 6th May 2019. The list of articles which has been chosen for today's analysis along with the page numbers of Chennai, Bengaluru, Tiruvananthapuram and Delhi editions are provided here. The hand written notes in the PDF format and the time stamping has been provided in the description box and for the benefit of smartphone users the time stamping has also been provided in the comments section. Moving on to the first article for the day which is about the maternal mortality rate. This article has appeared on page 5 in Delhi edition and in page 6 of Tiruvananthapuram edition. The analysis of this news article will be helpful in repellence preparation under current events of national importance and under economic and social development and in social sector initiatives and in main syllabus it is important under GS paper 2 in the area issues relating to development and management of social sector or services relating to health. The news article talks about the Telangana state which is addressing the maternal mortality rate and C-section delivery reduction. This is done by posting 30 certified midwives in 12 government healthcare facilities in a week which have recorded a high number of deliveries. C-section means cesarean section where a child is given birth through surgery. In this context you need to know what is meant by maternal mortality rate. As per world health organization maternal mortality rate refers to the number of maternal deaths per 1 lakh live births due to cases related to pregnancy that is death while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy and it is regardless of the sight or duration of pregnancy where sight refers to the location of the pregnant woman. The millennium development goal of united nations for maternal mortality ratio was to reduce it by three quarters between 1990 and 2015. India successfully achieved this target by 2014. India had a maternal mortality ratio of 556 in the year 1990 but it was drastically reduced to 130 by the year 2014 which is almost a 77% reduction. Next you need to know sustainable development goal of united nations for maternal mortality ratio which is covered in SDG 3 and it is ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Under this goal we have target 3.1 and this target 3.1 mentions that by 2030 global maternal mortality ratio should be reduced to less than 70 per 1 lakh live births. Moving on also try to know the top 5 performers and bottom 5 performers of meeting the maternal mortality ratio targets. The top 5 performers are the states of Kerala, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in India. Telangana state which is today's focus is the state with the fifth lowest maternal mortality ratio in India. The bottom 5 performers in maternal mortality ratio are the states of Assam, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. This list is based on the latest available data on maternal mortality ratio which is 2014. In that Kerala is the best performing state with 46 deaths per 1 lakh live births and Assam is the worst performing state with 237 deaths per 1 lakh live births. The definition and the latest available statistics will be helpful in preliminary as well as main preparation. Let us move on to the discussion of the news article now. We saw that the Telangana government has trained 30 midwives. These midwives have been trained to recognize and handle emergency situations. The training course was funded by the central government through the national health mission and was implemented by government of Telangana in collaboration with United Nations Children's Fund that is UNICEF. Along with handling emergency situations the midwives have also been trained to focus on respectful maternity which involves the following. The midwives have been trained to treat the pregnant women with respect ensure their privacy during diagnostic tests and delivery and they would also allow pregnant women to choose their birth positions. According to world health organizations global strategic directions for strengthening nursing and midwifery 2016-2020 there is a demonstrable evidence substantiating the contribution of the nursing and midwifery workforce to health improvements which consequently contributes to patients well-being and safety. Some of the evidences show increased patient satisfaction decrease in patient morbidity and mortality other hospital related conditions including hospital acquired infections and finally stabilization of financial systems for the patients through decreased hospital readmissions and decreased length of stay. With this we come to the end of this analysis. The displayed problems question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next discussion which is based on an editorial about the cyclone phony and the preparedness of the Odisha government in managing the natural disaster. This editorial article has appeared on page eight in all the four editions. The article will be helpful in your problems preparation under the area current events of national importance and in Indian physical geography and in main syllabus it will be helpful in general studies paper one under the areas salient features of world's physical geography important geophysical phenomena such as cyclone and also in gs paper three under area disaster and disaster management. Stepping into the main discussion the author states that the management of cyclone phony has emerged as a global example that a timely weather alerts preparedness and informed public participation can dramatically reduce loss of lives. The management of this extreme weather event has got recognition from United Nations organizations while there were severe material losses damages to houses electricity and telecommunications infrastructure the losses of life stood at 34 that is 34 people have died because of this extremely severe cyclone. The author states this is a dramatic transformation from the loss of over 10,000 lives in 1999 when a super cyclone known as 05D struck Odisha in 1999. From then onwards the state government of Odisha has worked on upgrading the preparedness and as a result it was able to bring down the number of casualty to 44 when a very severe cyclonic storm fell in struck the state in 2013. You would have noted that the author called cyclone phony as extremely severe and cyclone fell in as very severe and cyclone 05B as super cyclone. In this context let us know at what point it is wiser to call cyclone disturbance as depression or a deep depression or a super cyclone. This classification can be done based on wind speed. An area of low pressure with a mean surface wind speed less than 31 kilometer per hour is called a low pressure area and depression is a cyclonic disturbance with a maximum sustained surface wind speed between 31 and 49 kilometer per hour. If it is from 50 to 61 kilometer per hour then it is called as deep depression. If the maximum average surface wind speed is in the range of 62 to 88 kilometer per hour then it is called as a cyclonic storm when it is from 89 to 117 kilometer per hour it is called as severe cyclonic storm. A cyclonic disturbance in which the maximum average surface wind speed is from 118 to 166 kilometer per hour it is called as very severe cyclonic storm. A very severe cyclonic storm becomes an extremely severe cyclonic storm when the associated wind speed is more than 166 kilometer per hour and until a maximum wind speed of 221 kilometer per hour. For a cyclonic disturbance to be called as a super cyclone the maximum wind speed should be greater than or equal to 222 kilometer per hour that is why the author was particular in the nature of cyclones associated with the name. So now we understood why the cyclonic storm phony is called as an extremely severe cyclonic storm. Now after the devastating effects of phony the Odisha state government and the central government must rebuild the damaged infrastructure as quick as possible while rebuilding focus must be given to prevent future losses by upgrading technology and by building resilience to extreme weather events. For this the central government shall press for global environmental funding from appropriate UN framework for rebuilding. The priority in rebuilding infrastructure should be given to restoring electricity and telecommunications which shall be treated as their national mission and then public health interventions must be made to prevent disease outbreaks also. Regarding how to prepare for future the author states that the preparedness to such extreme events should focus on building resilience and strengthening adaptation to such events. This can be achieved through better designed houses and cyclone shelters, good early warning systems which is the key to better management, periodic drills and financial risk reduction through insurance also. The author concludes by saying that the management of cyclone phony in Odisha which happened in India and devastating cyclones that is cyclone Idai and cyclone Kenneth which affected Mozambique this year in March and April respectively will be the leading point of discussion in the upcoming UN disaster risk reduction conference which will be held at Geneva coming Monday that is May 13, 2019. With this we come to the end of this discussion the displayed practice question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next article for the day which is about the anti-dumping duty on Sakharin and this article has appeared on page 7 in all the four editions. The information under this discussion will be relevant in the preliminary examination under the areas current events of national importance and economic development and in the main syllabus under GS paper 2 in the areas government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and next in effect of policies and politics of developed and developing countries on India's interests and also in GS paper 3 under the area Indian economy. Stepping on to the main discussion the news article talks about the anti-dumping duty which has been imposed on Sakharin imported from Indonesia. This was imposed by the finance ministry on the recommendations of the ministry of commerce and anti-dumping duty of $1,633 per tonne has been imposed. Until recently Indonesia accounted for a large part of India's Sakharin imports. In 2017-18 India imported 43% of its total imports of Sakharin from Indonesia. However imports from Indonesia have declined since then such as in the period April 2018 to February 2019 India imported only 20% of its total imports from Indonesia. This anti-dumping duty has been imposed as the domestic industry that is the industries producing Sakharin in India has suffered material injury. Now to understand the news article completely let us know about dumping anti-dumping duty and Sakharin. Dumping in general is a situation of international price discrimination where the price of a product when sold in the importing country is less than the price of that product in the market of the exporting country. Thus in the simplest of cases one identifies dumping simply by comparing prices in two markets. Let us take one example to understand this. A product X is imported by India from a company of country A. Assume that if the price of the product X sold by company in India is Rs 100 but the product's price in country A that is in its own country is Rs 110 then this amounts to dumping. The World Trade Organization allows governments to act against dumping where there is a genuine material injury to the competing domestic industry. In order to do that the government has to be able to show that dumping is taking place and then calculate the extent of dumping that is how much lower the export price is compared to the exporter's home market price and then they have to show that the dumping is causing injury or threatening to do injury to the domestic market. So in this line many governments take action against dumping in order to defend their domestic industries and this is done by imposing an anti-dumping duty. In India an anti-dumping investigation is carried out. This is administered by the director general of anti-dumping and allied duties in short DGAD which is functioning under the department of commerce in the ministry of commerce and industry and this administration is headed by the designated authority. The designated authorities function is only to conduct the anti-dumping duty investigation and make recommendation to the government for imposing of anti-dumping duty. Such duty is finally imposed or levied by a notification of the ministry of finance. Thus while the designated authority in the department of commerce recommends the anti-dumping duty it is the department of revenue on the ministry of finance which levies such duty. The anti-dumping duty shall remain in force for a period of five years from the date of imposition of duty. However such duty can be reviewed by the designated authority any time before the expiry of the said period. The levy of anti-dumping duty is both exporter specific and country specific like in the case of Sakharin imported from Indonesia which is country specific. It would not apply to goods imported from a 100% export oriented units that is EOU and units in free trade zones and in SZCs that is special economic zones. The purpose of anti-dumping duties in general is to eliminate dumping which is causing injury to the domestic industry and to re-establish a situation of open and fair competition in the Indian market which is in the general interest of the country. The imposition of anti-dumping duty would remove the unfair advantages gained by the overseas exporters through their dumping practices and it would prevent the decline of the domestic industry and would create conditions for fair trade and further the imposition of anti-dumping measures would not restrict imports from the subject country in any way and therefore it would not hinder the consumers access to the imported goods also. But there is one disadvantage that is the imposition of anti-dumping duty might affect the price levels of the products manufactured using the subject goods. However fair competition in the Indian market will not be reduced by the anti-dumping measures as we saw earlier. Now let us know some facts about Sakharin also. Sakharin is a non-nutritive sweetener and considered to be a low calorie substitute for cane sugar. It is a white crystalline powder form and is odorless. Sakharin is more than 500 times sweeter than sugar. Sakharin can be divided into two types that is soluble and insoluble Sakharin and it has two physical forms that is granular and powder. Sodium Sakharin is in granular form which is used in a situation where Sakharin will be dissolved and in powder form which has been grounded and sprayed dried is used in dry mixes and pharmaceuticals. Sakharin can be used for a variety of industries such as food beverages, personal care products, table top sweeteners, electroplating brightness etc. The difference in Sakharin used for industrial purposes and Sakharin for food beverages is the purity of the Sakharin. With this we come to the end of this discussion. The practice prelims questions which has been displayed here will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next article for the day which is about Samagra Siksha Abhiyan. This news article has appeared in page 3 of Thiruvannanda Pramedition only. The analysis of this news article will be helpful in the prelims preparation under current events of national importance and under social development and social sector initiatives and in your mains preparation in general studies paper 2 under government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of their design and implementation and also under issues relating to development and management of social sector or social services relating to education in particular. The news article discusses about the panel nod for draft plan of Samagra Siksha Abhiyan in the state of Kerala. So the other contents in the news article can be left out. From the examination point of view we shall only focus on Samagra Siksha Abhiyan. Samagra Siksha Abhiyan was announced as a century sponsored scheme in the union budget of 2018-19. It was introduced as a holistic program for school education sector covering from preschool to class 12. Samagra Siksha Abhiyan has subsumed three existing schemes which are service Siksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamak Siksha Abhiyan and teacher education. Introduction of this holistic program will help India to meet the sustainable development goal number 4 especially the target 4.1 and 4.5. Here sustainable development goal number 4 is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. The vision of Samagra Siksha Abhiyan is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education from preschool to senior secondary stage in accordance with the sustainable development goal which we just saw. This program will be implemented by Department of School Education and Literacy which comes under the Ministry of Human Resources and Development. The major objectives of the scheme are as follows. The first objective is to provide quality education and enhancing learning outcomes of students. The second objective is to bridge social and gender gaps in school education thereby ensuring equity and inclusion at all levels of school education. The next objective is promoting vocationalization of education that is making the education more practical and making the students readily available for technical employment. And the next objective is to support all the states in implementation of right of children to free and compulsory education Act of 2009 that is the RTE Act of 2009. The final objective is strengthening and upgradation of SCERTs that is the State Councils of Education Research and Training and then State Institutes of Education and finally DIET which is District Institute of Education and Training as nodal agencies for teacher training. We saw in the very first that Samagra Siksha Abhiyan will be implemented as a centrally sponsored scheme. Centrally sponsored schemes are those schemes that are implemented in states by respective state governments but are largely funded by central government. The ratio varies from state to state based on the center's prerogative. For Samagra Siksha Abhiyan there are three funding patterns decided by the central government. The fund sharing pattern for the scheme between center and states is at present in the ratio of 90 is to 10 for the eight northeastern states which are Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura and then three Himalayan states which are Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. This Samagra Siksha Abhiyan is 100% centrally sponsored for union territories without legislature and the funding pattern is 60 is to 40 for all other states and union territories with legislature. Finally, the budgetary allocation for Samagra Siksha Abhiyan is given here which will be helpful in writing main sensor. The revised estimate in the previous financial year that is 2018 to 19 is 30,781 crores. The budget estimate for the current financial year for Samagra Siksha Abhiyan is fixed at 36,322 crores. One can see an increase of 5,541 crores in the budgetary allocation this year which is almost 18% increase. With this we come to the end of the analysis of the news article. The dispute prelims question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next article which is about interoperable criminal justice system. This article has appeared on page 5 of Bengaluru edition only. The analysis of this news article will be helpful in the prelims preparation under current events of national importance and under Indian polity and governance and in main preparation in general studies paper 2 under government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of the design and implementation and also under important aspects of governance, transparency and accountability. Stepping into the main discussion the news article states that Maharashtra is said to become the second state to implement the central government's interoperable criminal justice system that is ICJS. This ICJS will act as a common platform for all government agencies to share data about prisoners across the state. The first state in India to implement this system that is the central government's interoperable criminal justice system is Telangana in December 2018. The interoperable criminal justice system aims to integrate the CCTNS project with the e-codes and e-prisons databases in the first phase and then with the other pillars of the criminal justice system which includes foreign sex prosecution, juvenile homes and a nationwide fingerprint database of criminals in a phased manner. This project will be implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs. With the introduction of this project the courts can consume live data of FIR and charge sheet from police. If FIR is ready in electronic form in the electronic system of police ICJS interface will indicate to the court about the readiness of the FIR data that is to be consumed by the court. On consumption the court will get details of FIR number, names of accused, details of the offense, time, date, place of occurrence, details of arrest etc. Courts will be able to consume this live electronic data from police. In reciprocation the courts will send all remand details, bail details, property release etc. to police. Police will be able to see the updates of each FIR and will also be able to see orders passed by the court in remand, bail or release of property. Thus it ensures interoperability that is to exchange and make use of the information available between two or more stakeholders. Some of the advantages of this interoperable criminal justice system are that it would ensure justice delivery in a fast and an efficient manner. Next advantage is that the time and manpower taken currently to do the manual work of shifting the files from police station to the court and backwards will be completely saved. The interaction of interoperable criminal justice system will bring transparency in criminal justice delivery. We saw that interoperable criminal justice system will integrate CCTNS system with various other systems. Let us know about CCTNS system in brief. CCTNS stands for Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems. It is implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs. National Crime Records Bureau is also a stakeholder under this project. It was introduced as a mission mode project under National E-Governance Plan of the Government of India. Let us see the general purpose of implementing CCTNS on a Pan India basis. CCTNS has facilitated a Pan India search of crime and criminal records of individuals through a national database. It has computerized the police processes across all these days. CCTNS will provide citizen-centric police services via a web portal. Also, it would be possible to generate crime and criminal report data at the state and central level to inform policy interventions. With this, we come to the end of this discussion. The displayed prelims question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the last and final article for the day, which is about the new aircraft carrier of India. This article has appeared on page 7 of Delhi edition only. The information under this article is relevant in the preliminary examination under the area Current Events of National Importance. And in main syllabus, it is relevant under GS Paper 3 in the area Integinization of Technology. The news article states about the Indian Government's negotiation with United Kingdom on building a new aircraft carrier along the lines of Britain's HMS Queen Elizabeth, which is a British warship. And this will be built as a part of Make in India. Indian Navy will buy the plans for the British warship and the new Copycat carrier will be named INS Vishal. If the deal is agreed, then the warship will be built in India in 2022. And the UK companies will supply the parts required for building the carrier. The report noted that the new naval carrier would serve alongside India's INS Vikramaditya and the currently under construction INS Vikrant and together all the three that is INS Vishal, INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant would give India a larger carrier fleet than Britain. Now let us know some facts about INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant in the prelims perspective. INS Vikramaditya is the largest ship to join Indian Navy on 16th November 2013. INS Vikramaditya was acquired from Russia for 2.3 billion It was commissioned into the Navy in November 2013 without the crucial air defense systems. It is a modified Kyve class aircraft carrier of Russia. The Israeli supplied Barak 1 point defense missile system and the Russian origin AK-630 closing weapon system is installed on Vikramaditya. It has a store bar system that has short takeoff but assistive recovery system which is an aircraft launch and recovery system. Vikramaditya which is a floating airfield has an overall length equivalent to three football fields put together and standing about 20 storeys tall from keel to the highest point. It is a 44,500 ton mega structure with over 1600 personnel on board. Vikramaditya is literally a floating city with her complete stock of provisions. She is capable of sustaining herself at sea for a period of about 45 days. The ship has the ability to carry over 30 aircraft. Now let us see about INS Vikrant. The INS Vikrant derives its name from India's first majestic class aircraft carrier Hercules which was acquired from Britain in 1957 and commissioned in 1961 as INS Vikrant and later in 1997 it was decommissioned. In the naval traditions, names of various ships are passed down to the successor vessels. The new INS Vikrant is an indigenous design of India. It has a short takeoff but assistive recovery that is store bar system like INS Vikramaditya and it can operate 25 jets and 10 other aircrafts. The design and construction of the indigenous aircraft carrier was sanctioned by the government in January 2003 and it is still under construction. INS Vikrant marks a special feather in indigenous defense capabilities as this being the first ever aircraft carrier to be designed by the directorate of naval design of the Indian Navy and the first warship to be built entirely using indigenously produced steel. The successful completion of INS Vikrant will put India in the elite group of four nations in the world capable of designing and constructing aircraft carriers. Those four nations are US, Russia, the United Kingdom and France. With this we come to the end of discussion session. The display prelims question is a previously appeared question in preliminary examination and it has been provided for the benefit of the students. Let us move on to the last session for the day that is practice questions discussion session. The first question is consider the following statements. First statement maternal mortality rate refers to the number of maternal deaths per 1 lakh live births due to cases related to pregnancy which is regardless of the site or duration of pregnancy. Second statement the target for maternal mortality ratio is mentioned in the Sustainable Development Goal 3 which is ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. Which of the above statements is or are correct? Keep in mind we have to look for the correct statement. Here the first statement is correct as maternal mortality rate refers to the number of maternal deaths per 1 lakh live births due to cases related to pregnancy that is death while pregnant or within 42 days of termination of pregnancy which is regardless of the site or duration of pregnancy. This we already discussed in our analysis. The second statement is also correct as the target for maternal mortality ratio is mentioned in the Sustainable Development Goal 3. The target is to reduce maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 deaths per 1 lakh live births by 2030. So the correct answer for this question is option C both 1 and 2. The second question is the term saccharine recently seen in news is related to which of the following. Option A, migratory bird. Option B, sweetening agent. Option C, vaccination. Option D, new element in periodic table. This is a very direct question if you would have listened to our analysis very carefully you know that saccharine is a sweetening agent. So the correct answer is option B. Now let us see another question in the same topic saccharine. The question is saccharine has applications in which of the following. First one food and beverages, second one personal care products, third one reconstructive surgeries, fourth one pharmaceutical industry, fifth one electroplating brighteners. Select the correct answer using the code given below. So we have to see which of the above are correct. We very well know from our discussion that saccharine applications in many industries such as pharmaceutical, food and beverages, personal care products, electroplating brightness etc but it is not used in reconstructive surgeries. So the correct option for this question is option C 1, 2, 4 and 5 only. The next question is which one of the following best describes the term anti-dumping duty sometimes seen in news. First statement the duty levied on goods like tobacco, pan masala or any item that are harmful for health resulting from dumping of goods. Second statement it is the duty imposed by the central government when a country is paying the subsidy to the exporters who are exporting goods to India. Third statement it is the duty charged on goods on their importation or exportation out of India. Last statement it is the duty charged on specified goods imported from specified countries to protect indigenous industry from unfair material injury resulting from dumping of goods. Here if you see the term itself has anti-dumping duty. So you have to look for the option which means dumping of goods. Here if you can see option A and D both have dumping of goods but the first statement states that it is the duty levied on goods which are harmful for health. So we can eliminate that option but the last statement states it is the duty charged on specified goods imported from specified countries to protect indigenous industry from unfair material injury. We have already discussed this part in our analysis. So the correct option for this question is option D. Next question is consider the following statements. The central government has announced a new scheme in 2018-19 union budget named Samagrasit Shah Abhiyan. The scheme was introduced with an aim to treat school education holistically without segmentation from pre-nursary to class 12. This centrally sponsored scheme has subsumed which of the following schemes. First one, Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan. Next, Sakshar Bharat. Next, Sarva Siksha Abhiyan. Next, teacher education. Choose the correct answer from the options given below. So we have to choose which of the above schemes has been subsumed by Samagra Siksha Abhiyan. We saw in our discussion that Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhiyan and teacher education were subsumed by the Samagra Siksha Abhiyan. So the correct option is the option which contains 1, 3 and 4 that is option C. In this question you can also use the method of elimination as we know option 2 is not a part of this scheme. So you have to eliminate all the options which contain number 2 that is option A, B and D can be eliminated. So from this we can directly get the answer option C. Next question is the interoperable criminal justice system aims to integrate the CCTNS project with which of the following. First one, e-prisons database. Next, e-codes database. Next, juvenile homes. Next, foreign sex. Next, nationwide fingerprint database of criminals. Choose the correct answer from the option given below. As usual we have to choose the correct answer only. From our discussion we know that the interoperable criminal justice system aims to integrate the CCTNS project with the e-codes and e-prisons database in the first phase. So first and second are definitely there. Then we also saw that other pillars of criminal justice system has also included like foreign sex prosecution, juvenile homes and a nationwide fingerprint database of criminals in a phased manner. So here all the items are correct. Hence the correct option to this question is option D, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Now finally let us see one main question. On May 3, 2019 Cyclone Farni brought havoc on the state of Odisha. Describe the efforts taken by the government in ensuring disaster risk reduction particularly in loss of lives. List the focal areas for a government to concentrate in rebuilding the devastated state. For answering this question give information about Cyclone Farni in two or three lines. Then focus on describing the efforts taken by mentioning timely whether alerts preparedness and informed public participation that played a key role in reducing loss of lives. You can highlight how the state upgraded itself after Cyclone 05 be in 1999. For the second part list out the areas that has to be given immediate priority to rebuild. For example in the author's point of view you may say restoring electricity and telecommunications, rehabilitating the affected people then the new infrastructure shall be upgrading technology and by rebuilding resilience to extreme weather events. With this we come to the end of question answer discussion session.

is upside down. This challenge is in the same league as waterboarding. It should be illegal for you to ask me to do this. And I have to tell you this before I do this challenge. I haven't tried this yet. I like I haven't practiced, okay?  Additionally guys, I'm excited to say that today's video is sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends. This game is completely free and it is nuts, dude.  This game is an RPG title with a six-story line. Insane graphics. I have no idea how they put these types of graphics on a phone. This is nuts. Huge boss fights, PvP battles, hundreds of champions to collect. And like I said, it's completely free. Whenever I get a little bit of free time, I'm always playing this game. Let me show you my main dude right here. I got this dude. This is my main dude. He messes stuff up. I love this dude. He's like a dark elf, I think. Yeah, he's a dark elf. I did all the work for you. There's a link in the top of the description to grab this game. Additionally, if you use my link, you're gonna get 50,000 free silver just for downloading using that link. So make sure you use that when you guys play. So yeah, thanks for sponsoring guys. And enjoy the rest of the video. The team is a little bit different since last time. Kind of moved some stuff around because I was moving around a wheel of mud. So we do have the 99.0 Dell. We got Tyreek Still, we got Q'shawn Johnson, Saquon, and Mark Jackson's now our QB. And then defense is pretty similar, but got Lawrence Taylor, Calvin Yassif, Free Safety, Landon Collins, Ederied, Clomac, Jason Taylor, Night Train, Landon's award. So the team is good. That's not the problem. The problem is for half of this game, I'm gonna be playing with a controller like this. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me 100% clarify the rules right now before we happen to the game. It is win, but I play the first half with my controller upside down, not the entire game.  It'd be a 50-50. It'd be a coin toss. Is that my top three? That's how three is gnarly. That thing's so sick. Let's see what he's got. Oh my God, I can do it.  I assume you want me to play like this because this would be upside down. I don't even remember what my buttons are. I think I might have to do the QB or the quarterback. I'm gonna press A. Where's Y? Where's Y? Oh, I got it. Hold X. Honestly, that wasn't that hard. I'm kind of pumped, but also that was so easy. And look at that upside down kick. I can totally do this. I'm feeling so good right now. Okay, pick it up. This guy's gonna rage quit against someone with their controller upside down. This strategy with this though, really, I'm just gonna press A and then press the next button. I can't move around. You know what?  I'll scramble. Which one's turbo? Is this turbo? This is turbo. So I'm gonna scramble here. No, wait. No, not what I meant to do. Okay, here. And then yes, that way. That way, that way, that way, that way. Y'all, that way. I think I got four yards. Five. I'm gonna hit Qishon Johnson coming underneath. Come on. Come on, Qishon. Come on. There we go. And then up this way. Qishon, what happened? All right, so I'm gonna get open. RB, RB, where's RB? Wait. Dude, imagine hitting RB with your ring finger. You know, I think I might be becoming a better quarterback right now. This is taking, this is allowing me to have time and think about my decisions. Okay, we're taking challenge back. I'm playing the whole game like this. And I got to win the whole game like this. Let's go. Shit on him. Let's give this shmoney.  All I have is my my hand on running around. And why? Come on. Throw right here. Oh, dude, I actually like think I can pick him off like this. I'm feeling it. Throw right here. Throw right here.  I didn't get a rage quit. All right. I don't want to talk myself up too much. Admittedly, his team is terrible. So like, honestly, a monkey smashing its face on the keyboard probably probably could win this game. However, still pretty hot. Definitely proud of myself. All right, we're gonna hot route Tyree kill to to a streak. And I'm just gonna press a press Y. That's cash money. Hold X rack. Alright. I still know my reads.  Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright. This is a touchdown. I'm just going straight up the middle. Let's get it. Let's get it. Let's get it. I'm playing upside down. I feel bad for this guy. I feel bad kind of to be honest. This is how people feel when they play me and wheel of mud and I have my 62 overall team. Ah, wait, go, go, go, go. He broke that tackle. He's gonna get rock and he's punting yellow part return yellow part return. Wait, return. Why would you putt probably you're losing by a billion. All right, here we go. Tarn it. I had all that open field. I was so excited. The run game is smart. Here we go. Wait, no, no, no, no, no, wait, whoa, where are we going? I may have goofed that one. There's a chance. The run game is smart. All right, we're back to the classic because we got to get some yards back.  Okay, I want to spin. Where's Pete? Yeah, I didn't get too good of time. That was kind of good though. Alright, how do I show up? Wait, I don't remember how to show up. I wanted to show up before that happened. This is a massacre. All right. All right, Seyquan. Two point conversion. I love our little candy cane jerseys right here. Wait, wait. What do you think my guy? When I'm recording this, we haven't named him yet.  I don't know. What do you think?  Okay, I wanted to take a hit to that. Dude, you gotta quit. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I need to go the other way. Okay, wait, I'm catching. Now what I need to do. My brain says left, but the game takes me right. I'm going to go for an aggressive catch. I haven't done any aggressive catches today.  Okay, just click B and then hold Y. Oh, he isn't even like yeah, that was sick, but he didn't even need to. He couldn't have taken that for a touchdown, honestly.  This is my greatest accomplishment in life so far. I have never achieved something so great in life. Oh, I'm so excited to be back to normal. Yo, boys, that is it. That's it for this win but challenge. I didn't expect to go like that, but I'm happy did because I thought that one was going to be me recording here for five hours that fellas, let me tell you there have been win but challenges where I will sit here and record for so long, but I have to win. Otherwise, it doesn't work right so drop some in the comments. I'm glad this one went well. I'll see you guys next video. Peace out.


Welcome to Jalassa News or Dan for Short. My name is Rob. And today we're going to talk about the positives as far as crypto regulation. So we're going to take a look at an MLIV survey. We're going to take a look at FTX CEO, Sam Bakman-Frieden, the DCCPA Act and how there is a new wording, which makes it, to me, incredibly bullish. And then lastly, we'll take a look at Ray Dalio and his prediction of the five-year downturn. Take that with a grain of salt. And also we'll take a look at the good news and what's going on in the crypto market. So before we start, you can obviously tell that we are not in El Paso. We're in Houston right now, making our way to Puerto Rico as we get down to where we live and can't wait to get back there nice and warm. So right now, the audio may not be as crisp as we may have liked it, but hopefully it'll be just good enough. So first things first, this is the story. Crypto is more attractive as the SEC gets aggressive. Why is this important? Well, it's not important for me or you, but I think for institutions it is because they don't want to get rug pulled and have all their money disappear that they actually invest into. And I think that is what's stopping a lot of big money from coming in. So there was a survey, the MLIV from Bloomberg poll survey and 60% of the 564 respondents said that that legal action or regulation in crypto is a positive sign for the asset class. I have to agree. Again, as we move forward, the government is not going to get 100% perfect. I can guarantee that, but I think it gives some assurance. Those institutions who are like, hey, I don't want to get rug pulled like my friend Mark Cuban did in all these different DeFi wacky type of projects. I want to be able to build wealth and not have everything just go away. So that is a positive. However, this is the thing that they worry about. Major interventions include the U.S. regulatory investigations of bankrupt crypto firms, 3AC and Celcius Network, as it fell as the SEC probe into UGLABS for board aid collections of NFTs. And this is from Chris Gaffney, president of the World Markets at TIAA Bank. He says, I'm in a yes camp. As a professional investor, you need a regulated investment opportunity and it opens the doors for more professional investors to get involved in crypto if it's more regulated. And I will just stress this enough. And that is that institutions that get in, they're not here to believe in the ethos of crypto. They're here to not change the world. They're here to change their wallets. So as they get into it, yes, the price will go up. But remember, they will sell and they will not hold their diamond hands like maybe you are potentially doing. And then they finish this article up. This was interesting about the outlook or fear and greed. And for the survey, most investors were slightly more optimistic about the crypto than they were asked when in July. Almost half of respondents expect the world's largest crypto market value to continue trading between 176 and 25,000. Of course, we're talking about Bitcoin until the end of the year. Now, what does remind everybody that we went sideways for quite a bit of time in 2018 and we were in that 6,500 range before it just dropped out for 50%. And we were trading around 3,000 or 4,000. So just remember that and what's going on. And as we talk about this and we see that more people are excited about investing, does that change the price? No, it doesn't. Last Bitcoin price is still in 19, 2, Ethereum is still around 1,300. Nothing really changes for right now. Again, I think it's going to be a big uptick for regulation for really good things moving. Anyhow, let me just think about that in the comment section. Let's move on to everybody's new favorite bad guy, SPF or Sam Bakeman Freed from FTX. So this all comes down to this new bill that's looking to be passed. And it's about the broker language and the new DCCPA bill draft. So here's what's going on. And again, I think this is extremely bullish because this was a scary misstep for regulation. So a new draft of the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act or DCCPA, which the CFTC would use to regulate the industry, has been uploaded to GitHub and many crypto stakeholders relieved. The new language excludes software developers from being counted as digital commodity brokers. Why is that important? One second. Being classified as a broker would entail specific tax reporting requirements, which software developers would not be able to do without centralized management of their platforms. This version contains a limited exception to the term Digital Commodity Trading Facility, which would exclude persons who solely develop or publish software, which could be a boon to defy crypto. Previous bills have defined brokers broadly to include note operators, people like myself, and wallet manufacturers, which this bill specifically excludes. That's good because there would be too much requirements to actually go down as far as tax requirements and reporting requirements. It would make it unusable. So it helps spell it out to where we can actually allow innovation to flourish. The draft also includes new language that would order the CFTC to provide a report on the defy market size and protocols within 180 days of the enactment of the bill. Let me say that again, within 180 days of the enactment of the bill, they're supposed to come out and provide a report on defy market size and protocols to really get the ball moving. Will they do that? Well, the CFTC and the SEC are still behind on the things they're supposed to be doing anyhow that was ordered by Congress. So don't hold your breath. This is going to happen in six months. However, there's a step in the right direction. It also the CFTC to be a liaison with foreign regulators to ensure that US rules harmonize with international regulations, which is some of the things we've seen, especially in the EU and parts of the Asian community area of the world. So when we take a look at this, maybe they could get some actual stipulations as what's going on and actually get things moving. So that is the DCCPA part. And this is the talk thing I was talking about with Sam Bankman because Sam had talked about this. This is an article I'll link in the description as well. And the problem is what Sam said initially and I'll get to that in a second. But it's just states here the crypto community is still not okay with his explanations. And this is Adam Cochran, CEHB partner says the revised version still reads at how they can be a moat that lets centralized entities control these part of the flow and defies. They can profit from it. Again, it's all about profits and people saying, well, this is all about profits and you're making too much money and this and that. So Sam came in and he put a tweet and this is the exact tweet. Again, link in the description. You can find out what he says. He goes, look, I was wrong. This is an interesting way for a retrospective to take a look at. He goes, first off, a huge thanks to everyone who gave constructive feedback, comments and criticism. I know that Eric Voorhees, Ryan Adams, but too made a name. I'd revise my post some already and we'll continue to do so. Thanks particularly to everyone who highlighted the core of crypto, which is this. Freedom to own your own assets, which is why you need to get a ledger, take things off the exchanges. That's one of the rules that we have. For me, you can do whatever you want to.  And especially we've seen that with different protocols, financial cash and things like that, where they're sanctioning these developers, which is wrong. On the DCCPA, a bunch of the comments that DeFi community is making are actually important. Here's where it stands. The core goal of the bill is to regulate centralized crypto venues. The main DeFi point is, which that's what Sam is. I mean, he's FTX is centralized. The main DeFi point, touchpoint is how can a regulated centralized entity interface with DeFi, which is how can FTX and Robinhood and all these places interact with DeFi. In particular, it's not making claims about what DeFi developers, smart contracts and validators must do. It's looking to eventually establish guidelines about how each platform interacts. This gets right with the infrastructure bill a while ago got wrong. Developers and validators aren't platforms and shouldn't be regulated. It's a huge step. But again, we'll have to see what the final language is. I'd only support a version that gets this right. Sounds good. One thing that may ultimately be required, centralized entities like FTX, there are likely to be disclosures, requirements and potentially customer suitability test of some sort. It's really important this is done in an equitable way. So this should drive the question, does the customer fully understand the product and its risks? Are they making an informed decision? If you're going to gate products and regulate exchanges, do it on understanding that wealth. What this really comes down to is this. The things he's talking about is do you always read the terms and conditions, the terms of service? No, you don't. And most of you, 99% of you do or do not. Some of you do. Good for you. However, did everybody know the risks and things like that as far as with the protocols and things that they got involved with? Maybe, maybe not. And really what it comes down to is this. Certain places, Celsius, kind of led us to believe that they were a part and it was like a savings account, which it really wasn't because they were doing some shenanigans behind the scenes and we all know that. So really what it comes down to is what Sam is saying here. And I got to agree. And Russia actually does too for people to actually get into investing into crypto and digital assets. They said, look, you can do as much as you want to, but you're going to take a test to prove it. You know what you're actually doing.  And people say, well, how can they do that? You know what they do in the United States? You have to be rich. You have to be an accredited investor to invest into other parts of some really risky assets. However, accredited investors aren't the smartest people out there. I've met way more people who are unaccredited investors. And I know a lot more about what's going on than the people who just got lucky or who inherited money or something like that. So what Sam here is saying is like, look, if you want to be able to invest these things and do these things and defy it, just take a test. Essentially, that's what it really comes down to. And then you can prove that you know what you're doing and you're okay. That to me, I think is the way that it should be. And we should not limit it to just rich people to get richer as far as accredited investor anyhow. Let me just think about that in the comment section. And I will say this before we move on. And that is that I know people complain and cry about regulation. I get it. I know I want regulation crypto except me apparently. But remember, I don't know if it's about knowing the things that you're supposed to know, or if it's just rug pulls and exit scams. And of course, if you're only into Bitcoin, this doesn't concern you. I understand what the comments and the argument is, but if you're going to defy, which I think is the future, you had our member, there's already been 2.3 billion lost in hacks. And I put that in quotes because I don't know if that's actually the upper echelon of the project groups that are just going, yeah, we just messed up and we got hacked and all the money's gone. We'll see if we're going to go to Aruba or what it is. But you can just see over time. I mean, last year 1.5, I think this is cumulative. It's not 2.3 in 2022. I could be wrong. But that's what it looks like to me that we've lost almost two and a half billion dollars of your harder money and defy. And of course, there's a lot of people out there that have lost. And to me, I think we need a little regulation to stop this nonsense because me and you both know that there are some bad actors out there and they're stealing from me. Anyhow, I just think about that in the comment section. Let's finish up with a little Ray Dalio talk. And some good news. So Ray Dalio expects negative or poor real returns. I always focus in on these things because I think we're going to do well in the next two, three, four years. If we take a look at the four-year cycles, we should talk about this numerous times. However, there's somebody like Ray Dalio, our drunken miller who come out and said, hey, this is like in the 70s when we just saw flat or negative returns for five to 10 years. I'm going to talk about this and I'm going to tell you why to take it with a grain of salt. So I'm going to skip most of this because it's boring. But Ray's a smart guy and he's done pretty well. And here's what's happening. Where will the market opportunities be over the next five years? And he talks about diversification and that makes sense. I would not put everything into dogecoin. You know, you can do that, but I don't know if that's that's not my strategy. It's just something to make sense. This makes sense. Portfolios are too concentrated and equity-like assets. They go up and down together. I think we're going to see a bright spot coming in terms of better portfolio construction to create better balanced portfolios. And they said, what do you fear in the next five years? He goes, my fear in the next five years, we're reading about the negative or poor real returns in much the same way we had in the 70s. This is the same thing the drunken miller talked about. You can take a look at the S&P 500 and just went flat from late 1960s through the 70s. And it was very few returns. However, there was some small bull runs. And that is essentially the majority of it. But I will just say this, take it with a grain of salt and here's why. So two years ago, Ray Dalio said the cash is trash. This is on January 21st, 2020. He says investors shouldn't stay on the sidelines of 2020 market because cash is trash. So when people hear this, they think, I got to get out of cash and that's it and get into some type of assets. And actually, it wasn't trash so much right now. But back then in 2020, when this printed to oblivion, it kind of was. However, we take a look here. What did he do? Ray Dalio says cash is trash. Here's where he's putting his money instead. He goes, and this was in June 1st, 2022 where he was trying to kind of pivoting. He's like, well, cash is still kind of trashy. You know how fast you're losing buying power and cash, equities are trashier. He says we've shifted into an environment where assets that do well, almost like in the 70s, are real estate, are real assets, real return assets in various ways, the best investments. What types of things like that? Well, he talks about, we've got Vanguard emerging markets, ETF. He's also talks about Bitcoin to get into it, which he said many a time.  Things change. So just like he said here, expect negative or poor real returns. It's just a guesstimate, but he says it perfectly. As John Maynard Keynes is credited with saying, when the facts change, I change. The facts have changed, and I've changed my mind about cash as an asset. I no longer think cash is trash. And existing interest rates and with the Fed shrink the balance sheet, it's now about neutral, either a very good or a very bad deal. In other words, the short-term interest rate is now about right. And if you take a look at the Dixie, this is the US dollar index. I mean, we can see right here that it's actually looking pretty good. I mean, since June when this is 2022, it's just been a nice little rocket ride. And over a year, still pretty good. I mean, we were down all the way here. This is when this is before Ray pivoted. Let's take a look at three years. Not too bad. And 2020 kind of went up and then he was actually right. Went down and then here we go up again. So again, when facts change, people change and Ray changed on this one. And I think maybe they'll probably change on the five year outlook. But here's the good news. And the things that we talk about, it looks negative, especially for crypto. But remember, the entire crypto market is half of the value of Apple at 2.2 joint. We're under $1 trillion. So just remember that. But there's good things on the horizon. Like, look at this one. Fidelity is the beef up crypto with another 100 new hires, which is 25% increase. They've got 500 total staff members by the first quarter of 2023. Why are they doing this? Well, they're doing this because of their digital assets structure or their division. They need to hire more people because they see a big boom coming. Also, we take a look at the Bitcoin hash rate because the miners kind of dictate what things are doing as far as just with Bitcoin. Do you know that the hash rate is at an all time high today? What does that mean? That means that there's more Bitcoin miners going online. They are mining Bitcoin and they're taking their sweet time to do so. And I got to tell you, that's at a price of $19,218 because I think they believe there's going to be some better days on the horizon. And what is that equal to? That means that network difficulty is also at an all time high. So the more that the Bitcoin miners get online, the more they compete for minting that Bitcoin, the higher the difficulty level goes up. And you can just see if we take a look over a year. We were down here at, very small, 20 billion somewhere around there. Trillion. Who knows what it is? Super low over three years. And we take a look at all. I mean, the Bitcoin mine difficulty was nothing. Nothing, 3.2 million. Now here we are all the way at the very tippy top. And it's very high. And we take a look at the well multiple. Metric looks at the supply side of Bitcoin's economy. It's calculated by dividing the daily issuance of value of Bitcoin by that 365-day moving average. And of course, as we see here, we actually just dropped above that mark. So the well multiple is also saying, hey, there's some selling going on, but not as much they're used to as Bitcoin miners are not selling as much. And we can see that also over a crypto quant. There were some big sell-offs in June during the lowest, which is kind of crazy. That's what it is. And then also around September. But it's been pretty stable and actually decreasing over the last week or two weeks. So look, these are the good things that we take a look at. Not everything is going to be perfect, but I still see some good news or some good days on the horizon as a new for the crypto market. And that's it for today. So look, like today's video. Do me a favor, give it a thumbs up. Also consider subscribing. Nothing to talk about our time sensitive in the channel, but that is it for today. So thanks so much for joining me in Houston. And I'll see you soon as we make our way to Puerto Rico. Have a good day.


Can the recreational use of marijuana cause cognitive impairment? Yeah, that's kind of the whole point. People clearly do not use cannabis only for its harms. Like, what about boosting creativity? That's one of the reasons people smoke it. But you don't know until you put it to the test. They looked at divergent thinking, the ability to brainstorm creative solutions to problems. And at a dose people might typically use to get high, their creativity took a hit too. So it may just be an illusion. People think they're more creative when they're high, but it may not be the best strategy and even turn out to be counterproductive. For a few hours after smoking one's learning, memory and attention may also be impaired. But the question is, does it cause any lasting problems? In other words, is cannabis neurotoxic for a healthy brain? Researchers have found that cannabis users have a significantly smaller hippocampus, the memory center in the brain, compared to non-users. Yeah, but a snapshot in time study can never prove cause and effect. What you have to do is follow people over time, only then can you see which came first. And what they found is both. There are pre-existing structural abnormalities in parts of the brain that control inhibitions and decision making that may make someone more likely to take up the drug, but the shrunken hippocampus does seem a consequence of chronic cannabis exposure. Okay, but is it permanent? There was a famous study published about pre-GPS London taxi drivers who spent literally years learning and memorizing how to navigate around the city, and they had hefty hippocampuses to prove it, correlating to the amount of time spent as a taxi driver, suggesting the structure of the brain is in constant flux. So if you stop using marijuana, does your hippocampus grow back to full size? Researchers tested users six months after quitting and still found shrinkage, but what about years later? We didn't know until now. Yeah, hippocampal volume is reduced in long-term cannabis users, but this atrophy can be restored following prolonged abstinence. Even after 15 years of use, 29 months after quitting, the size of their hippocampus appeared to bounce back, and the same with cognitive impairments gone within a month or two after stopping, unless you started regularly using as a teen. Those with the most persistent cannabis you starting as an adolescent may end up losing up to 8 IQ points significantly more than if they started as an adult, and even if they then quit starting that young appears to cause permanent brain damage. But to get that lasting damage may require both adolescent onset and almost two decades of persistent use. It sounds like if you start using as an adult, though there don't seem to be any irreversible neurological problems, unless perhaps you smoke like 16 joints a day. In 2017, a study was published on extreme chronic and heavy cannabis use, and their poor brains really did seem to go to pot, long-lasting brain dysfunction in more than half, and even long-lasting psychotic symptoms, hallucinations, delusions, and not just memory problems, but like difficulty drawing basic figures. But again, this was at 10 times the average daily dose in Colorado, for example, a total lifetime consumption of around 75,000 joints.


What's up everybody? Jayz here with jaysbyzcasebrakes.com last RMB randomizer here to unlock obsidian picketing number four This is a random number block for the grizzlies bulls Lakers wars heat nicks and T wolves and we added $150 in break credit by accident guys We did add the The 76ers to the break mistakenly Customer actually did buy them.

The cluster mission was launched in 2000 as a cornerstone project of the European Space Agency, ESA, and is still operational today. Its main goal is to study small-scale plasma structures in key plasma regions, such as the solar wind, bow shock, magnetopause, polar cusps, magnetotail, and auroral zones. The mission plays a major role in the International Solar Terrestrial Program, ISTP, and has state-of-the-art plasma instrumentation to measure electric and magnetic fields from quasi-static up to high frequencies, and electron and ion distribution functions from energies of nearly zero EV to a fume EV. The science operations are coordinated by the Joint Science Operations Centre, JSOC, at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK, and implemented by the European Space Operations Centre, ESOC, in Darmstadt, Germany. A network of eight national data centers has been set up for raw data processing, physical parameter production, and distribution to end users all over the world. This article was authored by C. P.
