If you're studying the character of Catherine as part of your study of Washington Square by Henry James it's really important to pay attention to specific quotes relating to her character, okay? So this is Catherine Sloper's character in the novel, Washington Square. Now remember that Catherine is actually a very shy and socially awkward character and she is this novel's protagonist. In fact, you can say that maybe she's its tragic heroine, okay?  So whilst Catherine is way too submissive, perhaps Dr. Sloper really sees her as very different to his dead wife who he kind of has on this pedestal. He idealizes her and Catherine symbolizes everything that her mother is not, okay? Which is what maybe leads him to be so horrible and spiteful towards her. However, Catherine is also presented as a little bit plain, a bit dull and not very attractive. And so also we feel a bit of pathos and empathy for her because she's not seen as particularly attractive in society, she has very limited options as a woman and this therefore leads a mercenary character, what we would call a wolf like Maurice Townsend to take advantage of this perhaps insecurity she has. And of course, Maurice is really her only true love from her perspective. We know that he never really truly loved her but that's the only love she has from her perspective and he ultimately ends up breaking her heart. And we know kind of even if he were to marry her, so even if Dr. Sloper relented and Catherine married Maurice, we kind of know how it would have ended, okay? Maurice would still have broken her heart but also he would have squandered all her money, okay? So we see Catherine as a very tragic figure and even if towards the, as the novel progresses, she actually asserts her individuality and she actually pushes back against her father and really asserts her own independence and even at the end when Maurice tries as an older person to get back into her life, she also asserts her independence from him so we do like that about her. She's still described as a very solitary gloomy character, okay, so we feel a lot of sympathy and empathy for her. Now as I mentioned, it's good to have some quotes that you have studied and you can bear in mind if you're writing about the character of Catherine. So I've put behind me key quotes to consider with her character and kind of some of the word love analysis and even the structural analysis you can do when you're writing about either of these quotes. Now the first quotation, which obviously illustrates that Catherine herself knows, she's a little bit plain, a bit dull. She herself admits that I am not magnificent and of course the adjective magnificent shows that Catherine has internalized probably a lot of what Dr. Sloper has told her, that she's not beautiful, she's very plain, no man would want her, okay. So she admits herself that she's not very magnificent. Again, here we can see that there's an element of truth because we do know from the description that Catherine does seem a bit boring, a bit plain, but it's also still quite sad to see that she perceives herself in this way. She seems a little bit beaten down. The other quotation which illustrates actually how she goes from feeling a little bit discarded a bit by society, no man is interested in her and then Morris quotes her, he sees her and then she falls in love, okay. She's never felt anything like this and of course Catherine is very, very reserved. Therefore even this feeling of love seems like a new feeling and this feeling is described in this way. Her own heart was filled ellipsis with the impulse of self-effacement and sacrifice. Now James, the author, uses alliteration here in her and heart as well as siblings and self-effacement and sacrifice and what the alliteration and siblings shows is Catherine is experiencing these emotions anew. She's never really experienced such strong emotions. She's somebody who's given herself over to very bland emotions and Morris is really the only person who comes in and lights her fire but then sadly he himself goes away and then she resumes a fairly gloomy, fairly predictable lifestyle. The next quotation which we can relate to Catherine's character is when she ultimately gets fed up of how her father is treating her and his refusal to accept the engagement and the marriage. She actually stand up for herself and to even tells him, look, I'm still willing to marry Morris because she knows that she can rely on the inheritance that she's gotten from her mother which is a sizable inheritance. She's an heiress. She has a big inheritance, both from her mother and also from her father when he passes away. Now she states and she is really angry about how he's treating the whole engagement and she says, I shall never plead with him for anything and of course the words never and anything are hyperbole. Hyperbole is over exaggeration. Now here we can see that Catherine is now really starting to gain a sense of self, a sense of self-worth but also most importantly, she's coming from under his foot, okay? So he's very dominant and overbearing and she's peeking her head out from there and we as readers feel really happy that she's starting to ultimately stand up to her father and assert her own independence and autonomy. The next quotation relating to Catherine's character is we can see that once Morris leaves it's really, really sad. She's back to being a really solitary character who's kind of alone in New York society but if she's part of upper class New York society she's a very lonely figure and this is emphasized through this description. Catherine sat alone by the parlor fire, ellipsis, lost in her meditations and again here we can see especially through the adjective alone that she's a very lonely figure and the only light in her life which is Morris that now has been extinguished and we feel a lot of pathos sympathy for her. The next quotation which relates to her character and we can see the submission, the sense of duty that she does feel still to her father is when she confirms to him, look, if I don't marry before your death I will not after and we've got repetition of the pronouns here. Again, we can see that Catherine obviously now clearly shows her father that if he refuses the relationship with Morris which he does, he is ultimately the one to blame for the breakdown of their relationship and she is going to almost use her lack of marriage as a penalty that she's gonna hold over his head. Again, we can see here there's a bit of friction in the relationship and Catherine is now pushing back against her, we could call him tyrannical father. The other quotation which illustrates how we see her as a sympathetic figure is when Morris decides to definitively break off the engagement. Catherine said, look, I'm still gonna marry you.  But we realize that Morris is quite greedy because he wants both inheritances and because he can't get Dr. Sloper's inheritance confirmed then he's not gonna marry her at all and of course his true intentions come out. And Catherine says, how are you beaten? Because Morris says, oh, I can see that Dr. Sloper has beaten me and he said, and Catherine asks, how are you beaten if we marry? And of course this is a question or an interogatory sentence. This question is Catherine's way of saying if you genuinely love me you would still marry me anyway. And of course Morris then refuses he breaks off their engagement and Catherine, it slowly dawns on her much later on we can argue that she realizes he never really loved her. It was all about the money. Her father was right. The next quotation which we can tie into Catherine's character, of course when this love is extinguished is she confirms that everything is dead and buried with Mrs. Penniman.  No, everything is dead and buried. And of course she's speaking using metaphors. This is metaphorical language, dead and buried. And she's talking about the death of their relationship but also it could be the death of her spirit. Her, you know, rejecting any other suitor afterwards which she did and completely rejecting any form of love in her life. The next quotation relating to Catherine's character is when we learned that there was something dead in her life. This is of course after the engagement is called off. So there wasn't something dead in her life and her duty was to try and fill the void. So there was a void that was a result of this broken love. And of course the word dead and life are opposites. They are oxymorons. And what this is illustrating is that Catherine never really got that love and fulfillment from any other relationships after her relationship break down with Morris which fills us with intense sympathy for her character. She's a very sympathetic figure. The final quotation relating to Catherine where we can see that she has really grown as a character when she's much older and she asserts her position as a woman even if she's not married as when Morris tries to be friends with her when they're much older. And she refuses and in fact, actually she tells him that he really hurt her.  I felt it very much. I felt it for years. Now the repetition of the words I felt, okay? So I felt or even I felt it. What this is illustrating is Catherine has finally learned to become very assertive and confident in her own character. So even if she's not plain she's willing to own who she is. And of course by the end we can see that she has really gotten a strong sense of herself and who she is in what can be a very misogynistic, a very patriarchal, male dominated society in New York, okay? So she's really embraced not being a married woman and being a spinster which obviously in 1800s in New York society would have been looked down upon, okay? So that's really it. When it comes to revising for the character of Catherine Sloper in Washington Square. Thank you so much for listening.


In 2012, Codex developed guidelines on the application of general principles of food hygiene to control viruses in food, informed by Gemra's scientific advice. But times have changed and new research calls for updated guidelines. Gemra is a group of international experts convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization to review the state of science on a particular topic and to support the update of the Codex's standards on the control of viruses in food. Gemra held a meeting in September 2023 to analyze the most recent research on foodborne viruses. Viruses are the smallest amongst the different types of microorganisms, and they are quite unique in that, unlike bacteria, they cannot multiply without a host. But they can persist in the environment and be transmitted to people through food. Illnesses caused by foodborne viruses are of highest public health concern, and Gemra has identified three specific viruses that require special attention. Norovirus is estimated to cause 125 million cases of foodborne illness per year, from which 35,000 are fatal. It is a highly infectious virus, and even foods with low levels of contamination can lead to outbreaks. These viruses are found mostly in prepared food, frozen berries, and shellfish, although any foods can become contaminated through infected food handlers. Hepatitis A is estimated to cause 14 million cases of foodborne illness and 28,000 deaths each year. These viruses are usually also transmitted through shellfish, frozen berries, and prepared foods. It is important to note that there are significant regional differences in foods responsible for illness for both Norovirus and Hepatitis A virus. The primary source of Norovirus and Hepatitis A virus is through humans. Foods become contaminated through contact with wastewater, unhygienic practices, or fertilizers that become contaminated through sewage. A third virus, in addition to those previously mentioned, has emerged as a food safety threat. The Hepatitis E virus infects an estimated 20 million people yearly, leading to around 44,000 Hepatitis E-related deaths. However, there is yet no global estimation of what percentage of these infections are foodborne. In contrast to Norovirus and Hepatitis A, the main sources of Hepatitis E are swine and wildlife, and the disease is transmitted by eating inadequately cooked pork and game meat. Foods that test positive for these viruses can be removed from the food system, but unfortunately, detection methods have their limitations and challenges. Better testing and surveillance could reduce viral foodborne illnesses, but also preventing all viruses from even entering the food system is of paramount importance. JEMR will provide additional scientific advice on effective control measures across the food system to prevent viral foodborne diseases.


This is the 4th Denaflips DAC I have reviewed over a short period. The reason for this is simple, each and every model offered more than excellent price performance. Not surprising that I was very curious about the performance of their flagship model, the Terminator Plus. Let's first see where the Terminator Plus fits into your stereo. Since it translates digital signals into analog signals, it needs to be connected to analog inputs on your amplifier that drives a set of loudspeakers. The digital signal can come from a directly connected computer. This is usually done over USB cable, although there are computers that offer speed-if. Usually USB is the better choice. Some audiophile computers offer I2S which might sound better than USB depending on the implementation. If your computer is elsewhere in the house, you can use a network player or network bridge that is connected to the computer over your network and to your DAC over speed-if, Toslink, AES-EBU, USB or I2S since the Terminator Plus offers all of these inputs. Watch how network audio players work for more information. You can of course connect other digital sources too, like the digital audio output of a TV, game console, DVD player, Blu-ray player and so on. The Terminator Plus is a big and heavy device, clearly bigger and heavier than the Venus II I reviewed a few weeks ago. In fact at 19 kilos it's more than two times heavier and it measures 430 x 380 x 105 mm. To make sure you understand, this is only a DAC, a digital to analog converter. On the front we see essentially placed standby button, two buttons to select the inputs, a mute button, a button to select oversampling or non-oversampling, the phase button that reverses polarity and a mode button that is used for setup. The sampling frequency of the input signal is indicated by a number of LEDs that for PCM indicate base sampling frequencies 44.1 or 48 kHz plus multipliers. So if 48 kHz and 4 times are lit, the sampling frequency is 4 x 48 kHz, thus 192 kHz. If 2 times and 8 times are lit, the source material is 16 times the base frequency. For DSD the same goes. When DSD and one time is lit, the input signal is DSD64. When DSD and 8 times are lit, the source material is DSD512. When we turn the DAC around, we see the centrally placed IEC mains input, higher up on the panel we see the USB Audio Class 2 input, three variants of I2S, two on RJ45 and one on HDMI, two AES EBU inputs, one Toslink input, one SPDIF input and two clock outputs. These can clock other gear connected to the DAC, for instance a streamer or CD player. On the left side two single-ended analog outputs on RCA and two balanced analog outputs on XLR. For Windows computers, a high quality driver by TC-Comp can be downloaded. All other computers, tablets and smartphones need no drivers. Denafrips uses about the same construction in every model DAC with, for budget reasons, the exception of the Aries 2. A metal cage holds two O-type transformers, one 60VA for digital electronics and one 250VA for the analog part. Again, this is only a DAC, not for instance an amp. These transformers are automatically switched to the correct voltage, 115 or 230 volts by use of the solenoids. Usually with linear power supplies there is a voltage selector. In these cases the power transformer has two primary windings. For 230 volts these are switched in series and for 115 volts these are switched in parallel. As said, normally this is done by the voltage selector but in the Denafrips DACs this is done by solenoids. By clever design they see what voltage is applied and switch accordingly. The metal cage holding the power supply is mounted open side down in the bottom of the DAC with a mule metal shield on top of it. Above that we find two separate circuit boards. On the right side the digital board and on the left side the analog board. The digital board receives the power over these connections. These feed a comprehensive stabilizing circuit with the for Denafrips usual numerous capacitors. Then the digital input circuitry with the processor and buffer to clean up the input signals. The Terminator Plus can handle DSD up to DSD 1024 and PCM up to 1536 kHz which is 32 x 48 kHz. A bridge board forms the connection with the analog board. On this bridge board the TI ISO 7241M quad channel silicon dioxide isolator maintains the isolation between digital and analog. On the same board we find the oven controlled crystal oscillators in an aluminium housing one for 44.1 and one for 48 kHz based sampling frequencies. Crystal oscillators are very sensitive devices that suffer from poor power supply, mechanical force, vibrations and temperature changes. We have seen the comprehensive power supply. Vibrations are fought by mechanical rigidity of the DAC and in this case the temperature changes are fought by placing the crystals in a temperature controlled cell. Especially short term stability is very good. It is the first time I come across an audio device that uses oven controlled crystal oscillators, OCXOs for short. It is probably the highest quality that can be used practically in audio. Even higher precision can be obtained with Rubidium Atomic or Caesium Atomic Oscillators but it is unlikely we find these in audio. The audio board receives the power directly from the analog power supply and is sent to a bank of high quality capacitors. I am curious what is inside this aluminium block. The resistor banks look identical to that of the Venus 2 DAC and also here hand selected thin film resistors with 0.005% precision and again two banks per channel for true balanced outputs. The output voltage is 4.4 volts for the balanced outputs and 2.2 volts for the single ended outputs which is less than in the B above Red Book specifications. Operation is very simple. You step through the inputs by pressing the plus or minus button, select oversampling or non oversampling by pressing a button and the same goes for phase. Some might regret the absence of a remote control but that is the only practical limitation I can think of. Things might get slightly more complex if you use a digital source that outputs i2S. Since there is no standard for plugs and wiring, Denofrips offers three variants on this DAC and the option for different ways of wiring. They even posted instruction videos on their website to show you what to do. In my review of the Denofrips Venus 2, I said when you read stereo Nirvana, you hear two three-dimensional instruments and singers that each have their own place in a three-dimensional space that often goes beyond and above the space between the loudspeakers. You could even hear height, some instruments appear to be up higher than some others. The Venus 2 does this impressively good. It makes the sound very natural and relaxed since all the spatial clues make sense to the auditory system. The Terminator Plus does this effortlessly too. It also has the relaxed yet not dull character and the natural voice reproduction. But it's even more transparent over the entire audio band. I deliberately don't use the word resolution for that point to a technical achievement. Transparency is about perception, in the same way frequency and pitch differ. Frequency is the physical phenomenon, pitch is our perception of that frequency. For more information on this, watch my video, our audiophile ears, how our hearing works. The transparency is shockingly good. The first time my wife listened to music over the Terminator Plus, she immediately noticed things in the arrangement she hadn't heard before. She has no interest in equipment and even less into technology. She just loves music, from Albanese to ZZ Top. That's what the Terminator Plus does. It opens up any recording so much more than anything I have heard in my setup 1. But I have to make a note with that remark. Last month I exchanged the Audio Note amp in my setup 1 for the Air AX520. That gave such an improvement that I questioned the outcome of reviews I did on other DAX in this price category or higher. But back to the Terminator Plus. I also noted that playing at lower levels, say 50 dB SPLA, was more involving than with the MiTeX Syntax combo that normally does the DA conversion in setup 1. I searched for words to describe the refinement of the Terminator Plus. It made me think of the three times I had the pleasure of dining at the Berlin Restaurant Margo. They present small dishes and every bite I took surprised my palate enormously. Michelin rewarded this restaurant with a star. Now imagine that you play albums you already played for decades using a wide range of equipment. And yet this DAQ, when placed in my setup 1, presents me with the details I have never heard before. Album after album. Remarkable is that the transparency doesn't come with fatigue. It is rather addictive so I have listened to all kinds of music for hours and hours. From a string quartet playing Bach to Shirazade by Rimsky-Korsakov. From Pantankl to Within Temptation. From Simon and Garfinkel to David Getter and more. And for every album it was a renewed experience. The Terminator Plus clearly is of a higher class than its price suggests. The Terminator Plus is a further development of the Terminator, which in turn is an improved version of the Venus II. Not that the Terminator Plus is a somewhat tweaked version of the Terminator. It is a fresh design that uses design principles that dinner thrips adheres to, but further refined. The only comment I can give is the same I gave the Venus II. A simple remote control to switch face, oversampling and inputs would have been convenient. Even for the comment my wife had, it's rather bulky and shiny, I wouldn't like that in my living. There is a solution since it also comes in a black version. But all jokes aside, this really is a very convincing DAC. The build quality is fantastic as is the large collection of inputs, the clock outs, the balanced and single ended outputs and the simple operation. And then the sound quality. Did I already mention how convincing it sounds? Okay, let's just finish this video here before I start boring you. But no, there will be a new video next Friday at 5 pm Central European Time.

Välkomna till min övriga audience. Jag ser igen mig från en absolut utbildad hyperborea Skadi, bli bäst. Nu har jag tänkt att respondera till en ganska vanlig fråga. Och det är om vad supplementen jag tar. Så jag kommer att respondera till det. Och jag kommer också att ge en originstor till min övriga julturnämning. Nu har jag användat supplementen mer specifikt. Välkomna till det i en liten tid. Men jag har användat min övriga julturnämning. 14 år sedan. Så det har alltid varit en stjärna i min övriga julturnämning. Tillsammans med övriga julturnämning. Så de tre har alltid varit med mig.  Så anyway, as many of you probably know, I did have sponsorships back in the day, but when I became more outspoken, when I joined the Metapolitical Cause for Mother Europe, they were fast to drop me, so I had to figure something out myself, and in retrospect it was a bit uncomfortable then losing a sponsorship, and in retrospect it was one of the best things that have ever happened to me, because that forced me to create my own things, and now I can be totally in charge of the products myself and make them however I see fit. And of course I have a lot of help from my beautiful wife, Julie as well in this regard. So yeah, that feels absolutely great. So thank you to all sponsors who did not want to work with me. It was beneficial in the long run, and now I have a supplement company, I really enjoy running, and yeah, it feels great in every way, and of course I have the utename Way as a main staple. Now a lot cleaner and better than the normie brands I had before. So anyway, on to the actual supplements I do take. So yeah, way technically not a supplement, I view it as a food, it is a food, it's literally milk, so it's a dairy product in powder form. So if you look at the ingredient list of utename natural way, it's only milk, so that's what it is, it's milk.  So I made a video on it as well by the way. So do try it out only if you have some good eggs of course, because it can be a bit dangerous if you don't have access to clean eggs. But I drink raw eggs along with my way. Tastes great and feels great, and yeah, you can feel on my energy level that I have absorbed my daily smoothie. So anyway, first thing, way dairy products in general have been main staple for me throughout all my life. You know, a lot of milk, yogurt, and then way. So all of these blessings from Aldhumla, the great cosmic cow. So I love cows, and I thank cows. I'm very thankful to cows for the strength and vigor they have given me through dairy products basically. So milk, and I use a lot of butter as well. So my morning coffee, it's a teaspoon of butter, a teaspoon of coconut oil, and then of course my gourmet coffee. So that's the breakfast bulletproof coffee. Great stuff, great stuff indeed. Now of course if you are lactose intolerant, then yeah, you will have to make do with other protein sources. But for me, as with my forefathers, heavily reliant on the blessings of the cow. So for me, I dairy max, yeah, the main bulk of my calories. It comes from the sacred blessings of the cow. Now something else, my second supplement, which also isn't quite a supplement. It's more of a food and that is collagen. As you can eat bone broth, you should do it maybe once a week. If you don't, then definitely do take collagen. I take collagen every day in my smoothie, so a scoop of that along with two scoops away. Again, you don't need to use collagen as a powder. You can also use it, you can also drink bone broth if you have that as a standard thing in your diet. If you don't, then definitely take collagen. No question about it at all. So those are the first two things that technically not supplements, but I included them anyway. So two things there, whey protein and collagen. Then we have vitamin D, which you can of course get via the sun. You can get it via some good food as well, but I've always supplemented with it ever since I was 22 or so, almost as long as I've taken whey. And that has been a good effect, especially on my immune system. So it's quite simple.  Then of course during summer, I don't take vitamin D, it's only when it's winter like this. Then we have zinc, which is a good supplement to take if you are deficient in it and if you are deficient in it, it might negatively impact your testosterone. So I did a blood test a few years back and my zinc was quite low just as it could have been. So this was back in 2017. So therefore I started supplementing with zinc to increase my zinc levels and that also I can only suppose increased my testosterone because in recent years my testosterone has been higher than it was back in 2017. Then it can also positively impact your libido and also your immune system. So zinc can be good to have at hand, you don't need to take it every day and if you're unsure if you need it or not, just take a blood test and see, okay, am I good with zinc or am I not good and then you supplement accordingly. And by the way this can be used to determine any supplement if you are unsure if you should take or not. Moving on to vitamin C, I don't take vitamin C in supplement form because it's so easy to get via fruit and you should fruit max anyway to acquire the esoteric knowledge of the cathare pure ones. Then we have creatine, it's a supplement that has stood multiple decades been proven in scientific studies to actually boost your athletic performance somewhat and it's all natural as well so you won't have any ill effect on your hormonal system. And this by the way I thought to mention it whenever we're talking about natural bodybuilding and everything like this. So the reason supplements are okay, most supplements of course you can take too much of some things such as caffeine and it might negatively impact your sleep and that's of course not good but if you talk about the difference between steroids and supplements is of course that steroids it alters your physiology and negatively impact your own hormonal production. So be cautious when you're older of course if you have low testosterone you might want some TRT or something like that testosterone replacement therapy but when you're younger do not do it it's not worth in the long run you can as I mentioned before you can train naturally like myself and you can rest on your laurels when you're older you can rest on the hard work you have done in previous years. Now of course you still need to train but I say that I don't need to train as hard anymore because I've already built up my physique it's easier to maintain a good physique as long as you eat well and train every once in a while as well. So great stuff, great stuff indeed. And then we have some smaller supplements that might not be super important or necessary I use them if you like I usually have some glycine in my tea at night instead of sugar and it has a few interesting studies as well, glycine on health related mattress so you can check that out. Then we have magnesium as well you can take some magnesium if you feel tired it's one of these things that help with basically everything especially if you train hard it can be good I use magnesium also, not a full teaspoon but maybe a quarter of a teaspoon in my tea as well so that was the list of supplements I take on a regular basis and of course the main thing I must note is that you have a good overall diet so make sure to eat a lot of eggs for example and dairy products in general if you can tolerate it if you can't tolerate dairy products then you will have to eat other things more meat and also something to keep in mind is that calcium and iron they don't really go together so separate your dairy intake and your iron intake so meat and milk for example so you can have a more dairy based lunch and then you can have meat for dinner but don't mix them so they don't mog and cancel each other out of course it doesn't they don't cancel each other out completely but they can obstruct the absorption so you can keep some distance some time between consuming the two but yeah otherwise a lot of fruit of course and meat is also super food I might add eggs super food all manner of dairy super food whey is a super food I'm quite enthusiastic about it as you might note from my tone of voice but yeah great stuff great stuff indeed so anyway hopefully that was useful and do of course check out all links in the description box below and you vote with your wallet so if you like my holy work my metapolitical work by getting said supplements via some of the links in the description box below and that is also a vote for my political views and a vote against everyone else's political views so the goal was always for me to have that supplement brand and being able to sponsor myself so that no one can say to me that you know we don't like your political views so we cancel you now you can't cancel me because I have my own man so yeah great stuff so anyway thank you for watching thank you for your support xoxo


Hello, and welcome to International Ideas Session on Budgeting and Financing of Elections. My name is Erik Afzblund, and today I have Sead Alahotsik with me here at International Ideas. Sead, please describe why electoral risk management is an important element in both strategic and operational planning. Hello, Erik, and hello to viewers. Indeed, that is an important question that we should start asking ourselves more and more. As you well know, elections are very complex undertakings, and many things can go wrong. And risk management systems are methodologies that can be deployed by electoral management bodies to make sure that they are less exposed to these risks if they materialize. Now, risks can be of different nature. They may be technical, or they may be political. They may be legal, security, reputational, and so on. And it is therefore critical for election management body to understand, to start looking into these risks already during the phase of operational planning, because that will not only inform the quality of the planning processes, but will also help establish a system which will be able to monitor, analyze, and assess the risks in order for election management body to initiate timely and effective intervention mitigation action. Thank you, Sead. Based on your experience, what approaches do election management bodies have in terms of institutionalizing risk management? We have asked ourselves the same questions a few years back. And in 2014, we have developed a global survey which has covered only 87 countries. But we have learned that most election management bodies did not so far dedicate sufficient attention to systematic risk management. And some of them do not have any such systems in place. However, those which do have such systems take two different approaches. One approach is to put specific measures in place to prevent specific risks. And these processes are done very often in isolation from one another. While some electoral management bodies are trying to address this problem holistically. So therefore, in our policy paper on this topic, we have distinguished between incremental approaches where election management bodies are slowly building on their risk management system and comprehensive approaches where policy makers at the election management body understand importance of this system and initiate reform so that risk management covers all aspects of their work. Thank you. Maybe you can provide some examples of countries that have taken an incremental or comprehensive approach to electoral risk management. Indeed, we have been able to see from this survey but also from our experiences with working with election management bodies around the world how both approaches function. And for example, we have seen that incremental approach is working its way in countries such as Nepal and Nigeria where risk management was adopted with a specific purpose to prevent and mitigate security risks but then election management bodies have understood the value of this methodology in monitoring and addressing other risk to electoral processes. There are some countries which do have comprehensive risk management systems. We have seen experiences, for example, from Canada and Australia. But more recently, we have also been in position to coordinate and to learn from Election Commission of India that have initiated comprehensive risk management system there and maybe interesting to mention that in this process they have identified 191 risks that is faced by the by electoral administrators when implementing these processes. Thank you. Now what impact does adoption or the institutionalization of electoral risk management have on the election management bodies budget, do you think? Although it is hard to see very initially the positive impacts but I would say that introduction of risk management does initially require resources meaning stuff and some funds but this should not be ever seen as a cost but more as investment because well functioning risk management system is the best tool that election management bodies can adopt to make sure that what they are investing in other phases and events of the electoral cycle are well protected. And how is the adoption of risk management and elections financed, do you think? What we are seeing is actually that risk management is finding its way more and more into bureaucratic organizations. Looking in the distance we have seen how some sectors such as banking sector, medical sector, security sector have understood the benefits of systematic risk management and it has been standardized. Now there are more and more governmental agencies and ministries which are institutionalizing risk management because that's the governmental standard. So in my view funds and financing of introduction of risk management within an organization is something that needs to be part of the budget as any other activity. Thank you very much Saad and thank you for watching.

You don't know Shenron like that Broly. Broly, you don't even know Shenron like that. You don't- You- HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHHAH How's it going everybody? Duh, today we're here back with some more Dragon Ball Fighters Rank Matches. This time going with a challenge team of Adult Gohan, Gojina Super Saiyan 4, and Base Goku. So in case you don't know, both of my assists right now have meter building assist, and for Gohan specifically, I would really like- wait a minute. This is a dramatic finish possibility, not on this stage. But if we get to a different stage, there's a chance. But anyway, what I was saying is, Gohan can get to level 7 with his hidden potential. It's sort of like a transformation, obviously it takes 7 bars to get to the maximum. Um, and usually that takes a long time, and to be honest, most people don't go for level 7. But with meter building assist, I'm gonna try it out, that's the challenge aspect. The only issue is I don't really have any- oh, I just spent the bar. That was not supposed to be what I was supposed to do, but whatever, we'll gain it back. Oh, Gohan!  Oh, he thought I was gonna say- let's go! Broly's too tall, I kicked him on the way out! That was sick! Alright, we're at 4 bars, and we're probably gonna build a little more here in a bit. We've just gotta make sure- oooooh! Unfortunate. Alright, we have to spark. We do have spark. Oh no! Okay, it was good enough spark. Oh, nice! Beautiful overhead, I hope this isn't the end. We just need- what? Why is he sparking? Does he see through my plan? Does he know Gohan's the ultimate? Oh, let's go! Level 7! That didn't combo. I'm not doing it, I'm not clicking a button. Ah, no, no, no! Dammit! Dude, he's just- he sent fear into my heart by not doing anything. Can you drop it? Drops? Oh, I actually did see the drop coming there. Nice. Alright, we're still alive. Incredibly. Speed! That was so unfortunate! I was worried about the DP, but the DP came anyway. Alright, well, we still have to meet a building assist. We actually got to level 7 on the first attempt. That was crazy. Should've blocked high. Didn't. Instead, we get- we crouch and get hit overhead, and now we just have the rest of the team to try to come through. This team is still good. The thing is, these characters are all individually good. Like, oh! Was that on purpose? That was crazy. Oh, nice. Alright. Love to see it. Nice. Why do I keep forgetting about that DP? That DP is ending me. Alright, it's mostly fine. A sea assist. I didn't count for the sea assist. He let us live. He didn't do- no more Key Blast! I've had enough! Oh, he had vanished. Okay, never mind you. I haven't had enough. Alright, Goku's still around though. And if Goku's still around, I haven't given up hope yet. And there's a reason for that, because we have the spirit bomb. I've been- why? Oh, sea assist again. It's fine. Gojira, I'll deal with you later. I'm going to try to hit you with a spirit bomb. Oh man, we got to get Beerus out of here first. Mash! Nice. I saw an opportunity to mash, so I took it. Now Gojira, are you going to make this easier? Seven Dragon Balls? Oh, big lag. I was born in 19 frames though. I was born in 19 frames. This is my home, and I'm going to protect my home. 19 frames has never felt so good. Obviously, it wasn't 19- it wasn't actually 19 frames, but we saw a spike, and that reminded me of my home. But yeah, the team gets its first win. Obviously, a cheap way to end it, but hey, base Goku anchor is going to do stuff like that. I did it. Alright, great first game. We even got to go on to level seven. Unfortunately, we didn't see the exact production we would have wanted to, but we still got plenty of games to try to get more out of level seven. And that's- the goal's going to stay- that's still the goal. Bad time to call those assists, to be honest. Oh, I didn't think he- I didn't think he could make it. He keeps stopping me right when I get those assists out. It's genius. Hey, I'm- I'm- oh no, no, no, no, no, not Beerus. Okay, good. Oh, I'm glad I'm mashed. I'm so glad I'm mashed. One, two. I'm almost at seven. No! Okay, I'm at seven. I'm at seven, and I'm at decent health too. Oh, wow, that's in a junk. I'm sparking. I'm too fast. That C assist was really smart. Damage. Okay, we are flying right now, and we've got- oh, okay, this is beautiful. This is the exact setup I was- I was imagining when I made this team. Oh, let's go. Hold on. Db input. No Gohan was flying though. That's fine. Nice. Not going to be enough damage. Six frames. He didn't drop it though. He just went into a level one. That's okay. Three bars. Broly. Broly's the one we got to take out too. All right, let me build my bar. Rokey Blast. Rokey Blast. How did you know? Not so fast, Broly. Go to and help me out. Let's go. Big damage, higher low. No, it's forward kick. It's forward kick. Rokey Blast. No, no more key blast allowed. He had Vanish. I keep forgetting about Vanish. Unfortunately, it's fine. Gohan still did a lot of work. That is more than okay. Confetti. All right, this is going to be a level five, level one. I'm honestly going to be surprised if this didn't kill. Gojita. Oh yeah. All right, good enough. I think we could say this team did a great job with this. We still do have to get one last kill though. All right, we're going to- we did this a weird way, so we got our reset. Love to see it. Not going to be able to kill, but we have a lot of options. I could just jab, command grab. Oh, I thought he would block the first one. Okay, we can't let him get the seven bars. Nope. We waited just perfectly for the counter, and base Goku once again is going to get the last bit of credit. In set number one, I would say I'm happy with that. We pulled off the dream. Great games to that opponent, but we got to see if we could do a repeat performance. Well, well, well, if it isn't an old rematch, dude. All right, all right. Well, this actually hurts for me because I feel like he knows the strat now, but that's fine. As long as we can keep the pressure up, go through the C assist. Beautiful. It was beautiful for a second there. Oh, all right, we don't have to teleport yet. I forgot. I'm not leveled up at all. That's fine. I would love to buy time. We're not going to be as healthy of a- Oh, no. No, my assist. No, and he has a second C assist. Are we dead? He is all C assist. I didn't realize it until now. Oh, I'm alive. Thank you. I want it to be alive so badly. Get off me. Call both the assistant. I'm still not leveled up. I just- Can my assist come up now? Forget it, man. I'm just going to level up. I wasn't seven. I was six.  Why, Beerus? Wait, I did not just throw away that many- that many bars to die. I did. It's true. I mean, you've changed the facts. Oh, no, dude. It could have been so beautiful. All right, the strat failed this time, but we still have backups. We still have backups. The backups aren't working, dude. The- We need backups for the backups. All right, there we go. All right, how many stacks am I on? Oh, you wouldn't. You would- You would say that, huh? Oh, Gojita, I notice you have a full health bar. Fair enough, but I do notice your full health bar, and I would like to ask you if you would like to make a- Where'd my- Wait, am I seven? Am I seven? I'm just going to pretend I'm seven. I was seven, but I failed. Can you super dash into this? Now? Why are you charging key? Why are you charging- Oh, it was all a bit- Oh, CSS. Okay, this game, we've- I've been bad this game. I have been bad, but let me see if I can't make any last second. That didn't work. No, no, no. Okay, good. He was mashing. That's plus. No, no, no, no. Still not the best combo in the world, but- Level one, that's not going to be enough to kill them. I'm going to have to Kaio-ken. Speed up, speed up, speed up. Oh, it did kill. Thank you, Gojita. I needed that. I needed that so bad. Why is it lagging? Why is it lagging? I have to make a read. Did he just sit there and block? Is he going to vanish? I got Broly. That's still sick. I'll take it. Oh, no. Gojita. All right, it's fine. He left it in the hands of Goku. He's more than- That's too many dragon balls. Sit down. Spirit bomb. All right, fair enough. What? I'll take advantage. Damn, he's fast. Is that going to be good enough? Yeah, it is. We'll be fine. My cat just barged into my room. Kaio-ken. I didn't- All right, that was overkill, Beerus. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cancel it to that finisher. Now, Broly. There's so many dragon balls, Broly. Please don't- Broly, you have no relationship with Shenron. You've never even heard of the dragon balls. Broly, I promise you, you've never heard of the dragon balls. You don't know Shenron like that, Broly. Broly, you don't even know Shenron like that. You don't- Don't do it, Broly. I thought he was flexing.  He didn't get to make his way. Shenron just- No! No! No! If I can't mute in my audio. If I dead. Oh my god. I've never- I've never seen someone run out of time before. He was so confused. He was like, do I want to bring my friend back? Just the idea, the really thing that's fighting me the most is just the idea like, what do I want from my wish? Do I want to bring my friend back or heal the foolish? Shenron's just like, all right, I'm gonna leave. He said, I actually- I gotta be somewhere. Like, what else does Shenron have to do? Sleep? Like, bro, where are you going? God, that was so funny. No way. Oh, back dash. Super dash. Ah, CS-ist. Okay, okay. I've fallen for a CS-ist once or twice or thrice in my life. Wouldn't be the first, nor the last. I just wanted to get to seven. All right, we're at seven. We were at seven before, but I wanted to combo into it. I'm just doing it now. If I would have died to that- Oh, these DPs are- I gotta- I gotta switch. I gotta switch. I gotta switch. I'm not- I can't go through it again, dude. I can't go through another lot. Teleport. Let's go. I'm too fast. Kid- Some of my teammates come up so I can heal. Thank you. Gojita, I appreciate it. Well, I dropped the combo, but that's fine. You know, I had Smash property left, to be honest. That's fine. Gojito didn't get hit. Broly will come out and do his thing. Yep, yep, yep, that's fine. Let's see if I can do it again. I mean, I didn't even do it the first time, to be honest. I got a blue combo. What are you doing, dude? I'm sorry. Goku didn't get hit. Stop. Stop. Okay. Gohan is back to full health, so what do you say? Just this once we go all out. Let's go. Gohan, I'm talking max speed. I'm talking too quick. I'm talking mixups. I'm talking DPs. I'm talking too fast. I'm talking- I'm way too- Oh, that was good. The DP- See, the thing about Beerus is he- his DP actually counters me just going crazy with- Don't- 2H. Okay, good. His DP covers everything, so Gohan just gave high speed around it. But now- Okay, nice. Oh, DP through that. Gohan, DP through it. Gohan, don't give up on me. DP through it. I don't know if he thought we had an agreement. I don't know why he started charging. I just started doing it, so I- I don't know if that- if he thought like maybe I was being cool. But I was just going for it, dude. All right, he was- he was just like, let's get into the next one. All right, good enough. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. None of that. All right, I only knocked him up so I could buy more time. Do it again. I was going to try. I wanted it a third time. Why would I not? All right, double the- No, I can't believe I got hit there.  It sucks to lose a good bar building like that. He's probably going to try to jump and grab again. I'm fine with killing time. The time's not my issue. Okay. We're fully powered up now. Let's go. Seven. Cat is just going crazy behind my computer. Why? Why, Cat? Why are you doing this? Just calm down. Calm down. This has nothing to do with the video. My cat's just going wild. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I blame my cat. I don't know how, but you did this. Why? All right, that's fine. We lost Gohan.  Gohan was the- Gohan was what brought this team together. It's fine. Sometimes your- a team is bigger than just one man, dude. There is no I in team. Vegeta's taking big damage, though. Gujira is the I in the team, dude. Oh, sheep. That was so smart. CS-ist. I'm just going to super dash through that. And one and two, and I'm looking to TOD your Gojira specifically. Would you mind if I TOD Gojira? Because I'm going to try. You better hope I don't. This is what Gojira was made for. That is a lot of health you out there. Would you mind if I just- No, no, no. Please, please, please. Oh, thank you. Just do the DP, man. Oh, thank you. I almost messed this up. Just do it, just do it. Just get Gojira out of here, man. Just leave. Just get him out. That's so scary. Why is this game so scary? All right, good enough. Big damage level three. Do we just go with the medium starter? Why not, right? If it hits, we win. Well, that's what I would have said. And now there's- oh, no, there's not seven Dragon Balls. All right, that's fine. You know what, Broly? You mind if I make this a little cannon? I guess it's not getting- Kyo! Ken! How did that hit him? Oh, no. Spirit Bomb! Kyo! Ken! Oh, too quick! I'm too quick! I'm too quick with it. That was a really fun session. And honestly, a really fun team that I'd be down to run again. I feel like we can get even more out of Gojira.
