a very good evening aspirants welcome to the hindu newspaper analysis brought to you by shankarais academy today's date is 25th of september 2023 displayed here or the list of news articles that we are going to discuss today we have chosen news articles from yesterday's newspaper as well so without much delay let us get into the first news article discussion take a look at this news article yesterday the buddhanam team from telangana visited the third century bc buddhist rock at cave at mateli in sri langa see this site is so special because in the site the teachings of lord buddha were scribbled for the first time on palm leaves know that buddhanam is a massive buddhist heritage theme park developed by the telangana government at naharjuna sahar so to obtain some valuable information for the theme park a team visited the buddhist rock at cave in sri langa this is about the news article given here so in this context let us quickly revise the some of the important buddhist text which is very important for preliminary examination see the buddhist text are mostly based on the life and teachings of the buddha know that buddha mostly followed discussion and debate method of teaching basically buddha thought to his disciples orally none of the speeches of buddha were written down during his lifetime after buddha's death around 5th to 4th century bce his teachings were compiled by his disciples these compilations were known as traipitaka's which literally means three baskets that holds different types of text the traipitaka were first transmitted orally and later they were written and classified according to the subject matter the traipitaka's refer to vinaya pitaka sutta pitaka and abhidhamma pitaka they were written in pali language know that each pitaka is comprised of number of individual text now let us quickly see in detail about the pitaka's one by one first let us take sutta pitaka in sanskrit sutta means sutra it was compiled at the first buddhist council that was held during 483 bc the sutta pitaka was first orally presented by ananda who is buddha's cousin the sutta pitaka contains the core teachings of buddhism so basically the sutta pitaka contains the sutras of buddha's teachings the sutta pitaka consists of five sutras which are displayed here you can go through it now coming to vinaya pitaka see the vinaya pitaka was also compiled at the first buddhist council it was orally presented by upali who is one of the 10 chief disciples of the buddha the vinaya pitaka consists mainly of rules and regulations that govern the daily life of buddhist monks and nuns the vinaya pitaka consists of three different texts which are displayed here you can go through it now finally let us see about abhidhamma pitaka see the abhidhamma pitaka is a later work it mostly contains physiological matters of buddhism the abhidhamma pitaka lists out various summaries and questions and answers on buddhist philosophy the abhidhamma pitaka consists of seven books which are displayed here you can pause the video and go through it so these are all some of the three important texts in buddhism as buddhism traveled to new regions like Sri Lanka some other texts were also written between third and fifth century ad the important texts of that time were Deepavamsa and Mahaavamsa these texts were written in pali language in Sri Lanka it contains the regional histories of buddhism and biographies of the buddha so these are all some of the important buddhist texts that you have to remember in the problem's perspective there are still many of them left out but if they appear in the current affairs we'll let you know so these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion take a look at this news article from yesterday's newspaper see last saturday in new york the external affairs minister mr. s joy Shankar met with his brazilian and south african counterparts the meeting was held as part of the ibsa forum the meeting was aimed to further strengthen south south cooperation know that the external affairs minister is in new york to address the 78th session of the united nations general assembly u1 ga this is about the news article given here so in this context let us understand some points about the ibsa forum first of all know that ibsa stands for india brazil and south africa the ibsa forum is a trilateral forum that brings together three large democracies and major economies from three different continents like asia south america and africa see basically ibsa forum is a dialogue form that facilitates ease of communication between india brazil and south africa by doing this the ibsa promotes south south cooperation the forum also aims to increase the trade opportunities among the three countries apart from this the forum also seeks to facilitate the trilateral exchange of information technologies and skills to complement each other's strength know that the ibsa grouping was formalized on 6 june 2003 when the foreign ministers of the three countries met in brazilia which is the capital city of brazil after the formulation the group was named the ibsa dialogue forum know that the ibsa forum does not have a permanent secretariat now talking about the cooperation area of the ibsa forum see the cooperation in ibsa is focused on three areas firstly the ibsa acts as a forum for consultation and coordination on global and regional political issues secondly the forum encourages trilateral collaboration on concrete areas through working groups and people to people forum and finally the forum assists other developing countries by taking up projects in the developing countries through ibsa fund so these are all the cooperation areas of the ibsa forum now talking about the important components of ibsa forum see the first one is ibsa trust fund see this fund was established jointly by india brazil and south africa in 2004 however the fund came into operation in 2006 through the trust fund the ibsa aims to elevate poverty and hunger in developing countries by supporting south cooperation development projects since its inception the ibsa has allocated over 44 million usd of funds the funds are supporting over 39 development projects in 34 partner countries note that the majority of the beneficial countries or least developed countries ldc's the second important component is ibsa mar ibsa mar stands for india brazil south africa maritime the ibsa mar is basically a joint multinational maritime exercise it aims to strengthen maritime security cooperation between the three countries note that the recent seventh edition of ibsa mar was held at port elisabeth in south africa from 10 to 12 october 2022 now coming to the final component the final component is ibsa visiting fellowship program this program aims to promote academic exchange of young scholars in the field of economic and social sciences so this program strengthens research collaboration among india brazil and south africa in the spirit of south south cooperation so these are all some of the important points i have to remember about ibsa so these learned points now let us move on to the next news article discussion take a look at this news article it talks about the surveillance operations conducted by the forest department in mukurti national park the surveillance was aimed to ensure that there is no illegal movement of people and poachers in national park this is the crux of the news article given here in this context let us quickly go through mukurti national park from the prelims perspective firstly let us see where this particular national park is located see mukurti national park is a 78.46 square kilometer protected area located in the western corner of the neel giri's plateau region of the western guards it is located in the northwestern part of tamalado actually this park is a part of neel giri biosphere reserve which is a first biosphere reserve of india the location of m&p is situated between the silent valley national park and mudu malay national park i hope you can see that in the image given here now let's quickly see about the significance of this particular national park see it was established with the aim to conserve its keystone species which is the neel giri tar here keystone species is nothing but a species which is essential for the survival of other species in the ecosystem apart from this m&p is a unesco world heritage site the national park was formerly known as neel giri tar national park and it is also home to mukurti peak which is 2554 meters height it is the fourth highest peak in the neel giri hills apart from this as we saw earlier it is a part of neel giri biosphere reserve which consists of mukurti national park mudu malay wildlife sanctuary bandipu national park naha holey national park vayanad wildlife sanctuary and silent valley national park now let's quickly see about the rivers flowing through the national park see river paikara and river kunda and other perennial streams flows through the park and drains into the river bhavani pula talking about the flora it mainly consists of mountain vegetation of grasslands and shrublands interspaced by shoala grasslands the national park houses the trees of rudder dendrons raspberries cinnamon and blackberries and etc the national park also has various endemic plant species that is present only in this national park like alchemylla indica and hediotus verticillaris moving on to the faunal diversity of the national park see the national park is home to some of the endangered wild species like neel giri tar pengal tyher indian elephant neel giri langur and bonnet makakue it also has many species of birds like malabar whistling thrust neel giri wood pigeon black and orange flycatcher neel giri flycatcher parrot vultures and neel giri pipit remember one of the most important tribal population of mukurti national park is thodas thodas are a pastoral tribe of the neel giri hills they actually reside inside the national park okay these are all some of the important points i have to remember about mukurti national park so these learned points now let us move on to the next news article discussion take a look at this news article from yesterday's newspaper according to the news article union minister for communications electronics and information technology announced that two significant semiconductor projects are currently in progress and it will be released in the coming months the u s chip maker micron technology which is the leading manufacturer of memory chips have invested in india to build a chip packaging plant in gujarat the total investment for this project is 2.75 billion dollars micron will contribute up to 825 million dollars in two phases while the remaining investment will come from the central and state governments so this is about the news article given here so in this context let us see about the steps taken by government to develop chip manufacturing sector and we will also see what are all the challenges faced by this sector firstly let us see why the chip industry is important for india see the global demand for semiconductors is expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to the rise of new technologies like artificial intelligence 5g and the internet of things india is well positioned to become a major player in the global semiconductor industry as it has a strong talent pool and growing demand for semiconductors india is a major hub for semiconductor design because 20 percentage of the world's semiconductor design engineers are indians now let us see what are all the steps taken by the government in this regard say in 2021 the indian government launched the design linked incentive dli scheme this scheme provides financial support to domestic chip design companies and aims to indigenize innovations in the semiconductor design industry the goal is to create at least 20 companies in india with a turnover of more than 1500 crore rupees in the next five years the dli scheme is open to indian companies startups and msms to be eligible for the scheme companies must have at least 50 percentage of their employees as indian nationals and must have a registered office in india another important thing to notice recently the indian government said it would have an equity stake in domestic chip making companies when a government has a equity stake in a company it means that the government owns a portion of the company's shares the reason here is to support strategic industries the government aims to ensure a stable ecosystem by building fabulous companies here the fabulous companies simply mean the companies that design chips but outsource the manufacturing note that the semiconductor industry is capital intensive and requires a long-term strategy according to experts the government's attempt to invest in the shares of chip companies is likely to be ineffective and inefficient but still this equity infusion by the government would be encouraging for local small and medium-sized companies even though the government is taking many steps to strengthen the chip industry there are some challenges faced by these companies first important challenge is the lack of venture capitalist there are very few venture capitalists from the private sectors who focus on the semiconductor industry secondly the cost of designing a chip is very high and this can be a barrier for new companies entering into the market despite this high cost of designing the annual revenue of domestic chip design companies is estimated at only 150 crore rupees only this is very less revenue compared to the potential of India's talent and demand finally the higher gestation period in the chip industry is a major challenge for it here the gestation period refers to the time taken to develop and bring a new chip to market this period can be quite long often taking several years because of complexity in chip designing due to this reason chip companies are not able to attract potential investors and venture capitalists like the software companies these are all some of the important challenges faced by domestic chip companies that's all regarding this news article in this news article we saw about the importance of chip industry for India then we saw some of the steps taken by the government to encourage chip manufacturing then we saw what are all the challenges faced by these companies so with these learned points now let us move on to the next news article discussion now take a look at this FAQ article from yesterday's newspaper as the title itself hints this news article talks about umen reservation bill the article itself is a critic of the bill so in this news article discussion we shall see some of the important points mentioned in the news article before that the syllabus relevant to the news article is highlighted here for your reference you can go through it see firstly let us quickly go through the provisions of the bill for our better understanding as you all know recently parliament passed the historic 128th constitution amendment bill called umen's reservation bill which provides 33 percentage reservation for umen in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies see this bill was passed with unanimity in both the houses of the parliament this signifies the willingness of all parties of india in passing the bill see the umen's reservation bill which is also known as nary shakti vandan adinium bill aims to reserve one third of all seats for umen in the Lok Sabha state legislative assembly and the national capital territory of delhi here to ensure equality among all communities it aims to reserve seats for scheduled cast and scheduled tribes in the Lok Sabha and the state legislative assemblies the reserved seats will be rotated after each delimitation exercise these are all the provisions of the bill now let us see what are the concerns raised by the public and the opposition regarding the bill firstly the opposition have questioned the linking of the implementation of umen's reservation with the delimitation exercise in the country this is a concern for them because linking its implementation with delimitation exercise may result in a prolonged delay in the implementation itself here you should know about the delimitation process delimitation process generally means readjusting the territorial limits of the Lok Sabha and assembly constituencies secondly updating the number of seats in the assembly and Lok Sabha in each state see usually the process will rotate the reserved seats to ensure equity but the problem here is it is a periodical exercise which should be based on the data from the latest census but the decadal census of 2021 which was delayed due to covid-19 pandemic is yet to be conducted recently only union home minister Amit Shah informed the parliament that the census and delimitation exercise would be done immediately after the general election of 2024 this means that umen's reservation will not be possible for a few years or at least till 2026 and we have to wait and see when it will be implemented secondly this bill is giving reservation for SC or ST umen but the opposition raised concerns about not having a sub quota for umen from OBC that is other backward classes for those who don't understand let me explain see there is already reservation for SC and ST but there is no separate reservation for OBC who constitute more than 40% of the population who are represented poorly some members raised a demand of extending this to the muslim umen who are also represented least several other questioned the current bill does not provide umen's reservation in the Rajesh Abba and state legislative councils currently Rajesh Abba has lower representation of umen than the Lok Sabha umen representation is an idol that must be reflected in both the lower and upper house for empowerment of umen and achieving the idols of democracy so these are all some of the criticism placed upon the bill by the opposition and the public now let's quickly go through what prompted the idea of umen reservation in the policymaking see the 73rd and 74th constitutional amendment which gave 33% age umen reservation formed a base for the umen's reservation bill the reservations were further enhanced by 50% age by the various states like Bihar, Andhra, Kerala and etc thus empowering umen though there are lacunae in umen's active participation several studies showed the positive effects of including umen in the level let us see some of the examples of them first example is from 2001 in 2001 studies were conducted by Raha Bendra, Chhattow Bhatiai and noble laureate Esther Duflo the studies were conducted on the impact of umen's leadership in West Bengal they found that umen invest more in infrastructure which are directly relevant to the needs of rural umen like water fuel and roads and etc and participation of umen is high in policymaking process if the panchayat leader is a umen secondly in the book and who will make chapatis Bishaka Datta Meenakshi Shidey they published their findings on all umen panchayats in Maharashtra they too found that umen leaders gave priority to umen related problems so many attempts were made in the past as well to bring the preservation for umen in the Lok Sabha and state legislative assemblies the genesis of it was the 81st constitution amendment bill 1996 by the then united front government but the bill did not pass in the house and lapsed with the dissolution of the Lok Sabha in 1998 Tathal Bihari Vajpayee led national democratic alliance government introduced the bill but lapsed then the bill was reintroduced in 1999 2000 2002 and 2003 but failed to get passed all the time in 2010 the Manmohan Singh led up a government introduced the 108th constitution amendment bill in the parliament but it was lapsed without getting introduced in the Lok Sabha itself thus it is clear it took 27 years for us to give justice to more than half of our country's population so to conclude at present there are 82 umen in the Lok Sabha which is the highest in history now after the implementation of the bill there should be at least 181 umen who will bring leaps and bounds for the umen justice in India so these are also some of the important points that you have to remember about umen reservation bill remember the critics and the history of the legislation it is very important so with these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion take a look at this news article this news article highlights the importance of human capital in an economy so in our article let us first understand what is human capital and then about the importance of human capital so what is human capital see the term human capital refers to the economic value of knowledge experience and skills that the working population possess to put it in simple words human capital is defined as the basket of knowledge skills and other personal characteristics incorporated in the working population that helps them to be protective the human capital includes some intangible assets like education training intelligence skills health and other human values like loyalty and punctuality here the term intangible assets refers to the resource that has no physical presence despite the human capital has no physical presence it has long term value for a business now how to be measure human capital see there is no consistent method in the world to measure human capital however the economist calculate the human capital with the help of substitute measures like the number of years spent in the schooling system rates of enrollment in education literacy and so on now we shall see about the importance of human capital in an economy see there is a strong relationship between human capital and economic growth the economist assume that countries with more educated population should have high productivity this is because the people with more education generally possess high skills which results in rich human capital the rich human capital with creative knowledge will help to increase productivity on one hand and on the other hand highly skilled humans tend to earn higher salaries which further attracts more people to enhance their skills apart from this the high earning people will tend to spend more which aids the growth of economy this is one importance secondly human capital brings in innovation and some crucial fields when human capital increases in the field of science education and management it leads to increase in innovation this innovation in turn leads to increased productivity and improved rate of labor participation all these factors contribute to economic growth these are all some of the importance of human capital so these learned points now let us move on to the next part of the news article discussion which is the preliminary practice question discussion now look at this first question it talks about ibsa dialogue forum statement one it was formalized in 2011 during the briggs summit held in india see this statement is actually incorrect ibsa grouping was formalized on 6th june 2003 when the foreign ministers of the three country met in brasilia brazil look at the second statement the group has set up a trust fund to support the developmental project in least developed countries see this statement is actually correct we saw that in the discussion right so this statement is actually correct look at this third statement it is equated at brazilia brazil see this statement is incorrect ibsa does not have permanent secretariat so the correct answer for this question is option a only one because two statements are incorrect here now moving on look at this question the text namely maha vamsa and the pavamsa are related to which of the following religion four religions are given the correct answer here is buddhism now moving on how many of the following factors constitute human capital five factors are given first one is experience creativity training education and health see here all the factors constitute human capital so the correct answer for this question is option d all five now moving on look at this question while you travel through this national park you can see montain shrubs and shola grasslands the trees of rhododendrons cinnamon also can be witnessed the sheep species of nilgirtar can be seen you can drink water from the river kunt and paikara you can also see toda tribal dance so the above mentioned description best describes which of the following national park the correct answer for this question is option c mukurthi national park so the questions displayed here are the main practice questions for you today just go through the questions try to answer it in the comment section with this we came to the end of the news article discussion if you like the video hit like do comment and don't forget to

People are really getting into air purifiers for I can't think of a reason why, but we seem to be excited about them and I'm talking to Matthew Blanchard at PurePath and he's got something very very different from anything I've ever seen before. Why don't you tell us about it Matthew? So what we have here is a device we call it air I wear, air wear. You can find it airwear.com and what it is is a personal wearable air purifier. It's worn around your neck and what we do is we pull air in, we disinfect in this magic chamber and then we deliver it right to your final point of contact so the air in your general area has now been purified with our device. So it's a it's a white cylinder on either side it's got kind of a rubbery touch area there for some reason. Oh it's vibrating when I touch it there and then it's got a little blue nozzle and that's what's shoving beautiful air at you. That's absolutely correct so what we actually have here is a silicone based material so it's itself is antimicrobial and it's very easy to wipe so this won't it's also hypoallergenic so it's not going to disrupt your skin or if you have sensitive skin it's very easy to wear for hours at a time. The battery life lasts over five and a half hours it takes about two hours to charge and there's two settings a high and a low setting and what you felt on the vibration is actually the fan that creates the chamber to create a high power a high pressure area right in front of my face so what it's going to do is it's going to blow all the ambient air around you away so the majority of the air that I'm breathing has now been disaffected. That's really cool now I'm wearing it myself and I sort of forgot I had one on I don't think it's turned on though is it? Oh okay he's turning mine on and it's on so now it's very quiet right we don't hear this yeah disrupt your day-to-day. I'm not feeling any vibration on mine oh it's on the low setting I think oh it's just real gentle there yeah yeah I'm not I don't know about the style look of wearing this but I think the benefits could be make it look cooler. Would the style and look of wearing something else maybe be a little bit more uncomfortable? Probably yeah yeah this is really gentle on the neck it doesn't feel too heavy feels like maybe I took my headphones off and set them around my neck a little bit lighter than that possibly. That's essentially what we're going for here we don't want you to feel this on a day-to-day basis we want it to be very comfortable very unnoticeable that is the essentially the idea very easy for us to communicate right now right sure sure much easier than if we maybe had a surgical mask on our face that's true so is there a filter inside that needs to be changed or there's no filter inside that needs to be changed there is a very simple film filter on the outside that will stop large particulars from coming in from your hair from going in right but really the disinfection happens with the UVC light that's where the magic happens and it's going to disinfect viruses bacteria is any kind of pathogen that's going to go through there that's how that's what we're really focused on disinfecting I see I see and so this is a rechargeable unit I assume after the five hours yes man rechargeable with a USB-C and that will come with the product there you go comes with the cable it comes with the cable a little carrying pack you can see you can get a full look over here all the products that comes in the packaging very good and when is this going to be available 10 days 10 days alright and for how much 299 a full retail but at the show here we're offering a promo and the promo is 199 but nobody else is going to be at the show so we'll we'll just teach you up there that you should go to CES next year usually if you use our promo code pre-order get in now okay sounds good alright thank you Matthew and where would people find the airy where at air I wear dot com oh I said it wrong air I wear a I R I W A R dot com very good thank you Matthew thank you


Hello, everybody. Welcome to February. Welcome back to Invest Your Intel. I'm Peter Clossey, very excited today to catch up on a familiar story that's had brilliant developments recently. Jeff Atkins, welcome back. Peter, thanks for having me on. Well, when I saw your January 28th press release, I absolutely had to talk to you. Now, by way of setup, I'm used to reading press releases that say, our PEA said a billion, but we're going to spend $2 billion, or our feasibility study said we're going to need half a billion. We're going to spend $2 billion. It is rare to see a press release that says, you know, I think we're going to spend less than we expected and produce more. So congratulations to you. Yeah, thanks, Peter. It was really exciting to have that campaign out of the way, and really exciting as well to confirm that the all-sorder, which we've got operating up there, is doing what we hoped it would do and actually performing better than what we could have really expected. Yeah, it's very exciting to read that whole press release. It's just a little bullet points of happiness. So you're shipping to Saskatchewan for processing. So you're supply chain. Your all-sorder is working better than expected, despite a very cold winter. You're redesigning the pit to account for that all-sorder working better.  You just do it all visually. That's exactly correct. So, and that's the real beauty of the North T deposit up there and why we started there is that it really is so simple. So it means that when we are mining, anything which contains ore, which is plainly visible, we're able to send straight through to the all-sorder. And if it doesn't, it goes through to the waste dump. And what that means is the amount of material we're able to actually process through that all-sorder is dramatically increased. So effectively, it means we don't have a cut-off grade, which of course makes a huge difference in terms of the total amount of products that you're able to take out of the pit. Right.  Could you do that again? Sure. So basically the way this work, a typical mining project where everything's really fine, if you see this, you've just got the ore, which is red mixed in with the waste. And it's quite difficult to separate. What we've got up at North T is essentially like a jar of marbles. And it's literally a case of how you separate that. Now, to really explain the impact of what we found with the all-sorder, what it said is that, what it's shown is that the actual grade of the product doesn't impact how easy it is to separate. So it's equivalent of saying, okay, we'll have a lower grade product. But as you can see from these two, it makes no difference in how easy it is to pick out those red balls. Right. And that's fundamentally what's happening up on site at the moment. We can have a very low grade product, which there might only be one percent REO. But it's just as easy to pick out. And that is a huge advantage. And you've gone old school on this, no PEA, no resource estimate, no feasibility study, you know where the ore is, go process it. Exactly. And this really came from the experience that we've built up over the last 15 years in rare earths. So we made the decision that the critical factor for us was getting into operations as quickly as possible. And that enables us to start the qualification process with customers and really set ourselves up to be able to then expand our operations, build those foundations for the business to expand those operations and have that real growth. If we'd gone down that traditional path, that would have delayed us commencing by about two years. And what that means is you delay everything by two years. So with the experience that our team has, we were able to understand the nature of the ore body, understand the processing, very confident in terms of the costs. And that's enabled us to start our operations now. And I think what's been shown and what's really exciting from the announcement, which we put out about the operation of the ore sorter, is those assumptions that we made based on our experience are proving to be correct and in fact are actually proving to be conservative in a lot of these factors. So that should give a lot of confidence as we move forward into our growth phase. And you did a financing over the summer early fall, right? That's correct. So we did a financing which was built on what our estimated capital cost is in Saskatoon and to ensure we had enough cash to fund the construction of that and commence operations. And you have the cash on hand to do that now. So we've currently got 18 million in cash in the bank or as of 30 December. Wonderful. Regis VML on the ASX, one of the best rare earth stories out there. There are a lot of iffy rare earth stories out there. Yours is fantastic. It's been a pleasure to watch. Thanks, Peter. Really appreciate the time and effort and giving me the platform here to speak. Next time you're in town, let me know. We'll meet out at the airport. Absolutely. The ML on the ASX, Jeff Atkins. I'm Peter Clossey, signing off from Investor Intel.


I was little once, you know, and didn't get a whole lot growing up, so I want to give back now that I'm in a position to do that. In preparation for the Allen Volunteer Fire Department's Breakfast with Santa event, Fire Chief Frank Rudder spoke with Mountaintop about the breakfast and its significance to the community. It's awesome. It's our first year, give back to our community and give the kids a Christmas some of them that probably won't have one. Here at Pikeville Medical Center's Heart and Vascular Institute, we have assembled a comprehensive team of cardiac specialists bringing expertise from all regions of the nation and the world. We have coupled that with cutting edge technology, providing them the best equipment and operating rooms available. The result is comprehensive cardiac care for the people of our region that is second to none. The Heart and Vascular Institute at Pikeville Medical Center. With up to 75 kids signed up for the breakfast, Rudder says he hopes the gifts will go towards kids in need. They're going to be, I'll have a guy at the front door, he'll escort them well, and then I'll have my ladies up here at the top door, they'll see them, Santa will be over at the tree, and my ladies will get the gifts to them, they'll be sausage, fried ham, fried apples, and pancakes, orange juice, milk, and coffee. The breakfast was sent an event will be held at the Allen Volunteer Fire Department Saturday November 27th from 9am to 11am. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Corjol.


President of the United States. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Well, welcome home. I haven't seen him yet since he's back from his very busy trip. And yesterday, happy anniversary of your 39th birthday. Well, it's a pleasure for me to speak directly to you, the editors, publishers and news directors in 35 cities from Utica to Tucson. Gannett represents one of the most creative forces in American journalism today. And under your able leadership, Al Newhart, Gannett has 85 daily newspapers, 13 radio stations, six TV stations, and a successful new venture that's reshaping the print media, your nationwide newspaper called USA Today. Now, I am going to take your questions, but I can't let an opportunity like this go by to say a few words about our economy and foreign policy with the hope that you will share a few of those words with your listeners, viewers, and readers. We've reduced the growth of government spending. We've pruned needless regulations and reduced personal income tax rates. We passed an historic tax reform called tax indexing that means that government can never again profit by creating inflation. And today, just over two years since these policies were put in place, we're seeing a vigorous recovery. The prime rate is only a little bit more than half what it was when we took office. Inflation has plummeted to 2.9% during the past year. Factory orders, retail sales, and productivity are all up from a year ago. And during the past 16 months, the stock market has risen sharply, boosting investment in productive sectors of the economy and raising the value of pension funds that so many millions of our people depend on. Unemployment is still too high, but last month it showed how fast it was dropping when it went down by nearly half a percentage point. Federal deficits pose a challenge, and some in the Congress are saying the answer is a tax increase. But it was tax cuts that gave birth to the recovery, and this recovery is boosting government revenues. Deficits are caused by government spending too large a percentage of the gross national product. The solution is for government spending to be reduced to a point that it neither causes a deficit nor interferes with the ability of the economy to grow. So I hope the Congress will help us reduce benefits or deficits by cutting spending, not by putting a bigger burden on the backs of the American taxpayers. Just as we're turning the economy around, I think we're bringing a new sense of purpose and direction to foreign policy. In Grenada, we set a nation free. In Central America, we're giving firm support to democratic leadership. And I believe that, thanks in large measure to the American example of what a free people can do, there's a rising freedom tide in the world today from Poland to Argentina and Venezuela. In Lebanon, the peace process is arduous and painful, but there has been some progress, in spite of the continued horror tales that we are subjected to. Talks have begun to broaden the government's base and to satisfy legitimate grievances, and our goal and the goal must be internal stability in the withdrawal of all foreign forces. In Europe, the NATO Alliance has held firm despite months of Soviet bluster. Sooner or later, the Soviets are going to realize that arms reductions are in their best interest. When they do, we'll be at the table waiting for them, ready to go on negotiating from strength and in good faith. As we pray for peace on Earth in this holiday season, the American people should know that because we've strengthened our defenses and shown the world our willingness to negotiate, the prospects for peace are better than they've been in many years. I'm convinced that historians will look back on this as the time that we started down a new and far better road for America. And Al, could I just say one other thing? I sure do like a press policy that is based on hope, legitimate hope, and not just undue optimism. I think the things that we've seen throughout the depths of this recession prove the quality of the American people, that in the depths, very depths of it, more money was given to charity and to worthy causes that has ever been given before in our nation's history. Today, the partnerships with schools, we call attention at the national level to the problem in education and suddenly business groups, communities, organizations are forming partnerships with schools throughout the country to help in whatever way they can. Name it and the people themselves are finding an answer for it. And I think you're right, I think when you look at a TV news program sometime in the national news and they have to announce that unemployment went down by hundreds of thousands of people in just a one month period and then they immediately switch to showing some derelict sleeping on heating grates and so forth to take the taste out of your mouth of that good news that they just given is the only excuse I can find for doing that. But you must have some questions so... I think he defers to you. This group met this morning with George Steinbrenner, the owner of the New York Yankees. He disappointed us by refusing to discuss his career plans for Billy Martin in 1984. Would you wipe out some of that disappointment by talking with us about your 1984 career plans? Well, I'll tell you, I'll be a little late with the answer. On January 29th, you shall know all, I will make a statement regarding my plans. And I don't know, maybe, I'll be a little late with the answer. I'll be a little late with the answer. I'll be a little late with my plans. And I don't know, maybe, maybe what Mr. Steinbrenner is going by is the old baseball superstition that, you know, if you're pitching a no-hitter, don't say anything about it. That was one of the hardest jobs for me as a baseball announcer when I was a sports announcer. The pitcher, you're going into the seventh inning and he hasn't allowed a hit and I wouldn't say it, I wouldn't mention it because it's supposed to jinx him. I'm waiting for your decision on 29th because if you're not going to stay here, I want you. Thank you very much. It's nice to have an ace in the hole. Mr. President, I'm John Quinn of USA Today. Mr. Secretary just said he went around the barn on this question. I'd like to ask you, sir, your own views after the fact on the decision not to have pool press at the Grenada action. And if that happened again, do you think that would be the policy to follow again? Not to have, but... A pool press representative. Well, I don't know how far George went around the barn. But there was no conscious decision by anyone in his department over there or in the White House that said now we must zero in and not let the press go. We only had 48 hours to plan that operation. We knew the Cubans were a lot closer than we were. The primary concern as voiced by the chiefs of staff was minimize casualties. So in that limited time, they planned what turned out to be a most successful and brilliant operation aimed at immediately getting to the locale of the some 800 students that were there and offering them protection and so forth. And I was responsible for only one part of that. I said that there's going to be a military operation in which civilians are not going to sit back here in the White House or in the government and look over the shoulders of the field commanders who were there on the scene and they were going to run the operation. Now, it was only when some of you started squealing that I discovered that part of one of their decisions had been that they would go in without press. I have to ask your understanding of this. The preparations that would have been needed, the word that would have had to go out just offered too much of a possibility of leak. I have found out that the White House I don't know how it holds the rain out. Sometimes I read memos in the paper that I haven't gotten yet. But we felt that it was absolutely imperative that we have the ultimate in security. We knew that a half a dozen other governments knew because they had requested us. I'm going around the barn now, George. I have to tell you this, that even there while we had to have some contact with them we did not actually even declare to them that we were going in, that we were going to do it or what our plans were. And it worked.  And that is that, yes, sir, we guarantee the press go along and we put them right in the front row of the landing barges so they'll be the first off. I won't do that. Yes. President, I'm Charles Overby from Jackson, Mississippi. I've covered your campaign since 1968 and I've heard you give some skin-winder speeches on tax deficits, budget deficits. What you said to us just a while ago does that mean you're rejecting Secretary Regan's contingency tax increase? And do you have in your own mind how much of a budget deficit might be too much? I think any deficit is too much. I've been preaching for the last quarter of a century or more that government but we should have had the rule that Jefferson advocated back in his day when he said that the one thing lacking in the Constitution was a rule that the federal government could not borrow a penny. Now, you might have an emergency like war where you'd do that. But deficits deficits are the result of a disease and to look always and focus on the deficit and ignore what brought them about when you have deficits the government is spending taking too big a share from the private sector and when it does that and over and above its revenues you can go one or two ways you can either borrow or you can raise taxes but in either case you are taking more money out of the private sector when that's already what the trouble is. So I think that the answer to deficits must be control of government spending and getting this government back to a certain percentage I can't tell you what that exact percentage is but I know that we're taking too much now. There ought to be a point that we can figure out is the optimum point at which if you go beyond that percentage point in government taking from the private sector you are interfering with prosperity and with a sound economy and once decided on that point we do that. So whichever way borrowing or raising taxes is just further going to harm the economy we need to zero in we've only gotten about 40% of what we asked for from 1981 on in spending cuts if we had gotten all that we asked for the deficit today would be 50 billion dollars less than it is. So this is now on taxes yes it could possibly be that in our organization it's hard to tell with a recession whether the tax structure that we have in place is sufficient to match what we think should be the spending outlay once as recovery comes down and we're sure that it is definite and we can do some measuring we can look and see did we overdo is there a room there for some tax increases so what Don Regan was talking about was a contingency tax that says to the congress if you will make the cuts that are necessary and the cuts that we're going to ask for and then that isn't enough yes we will have in mind as a contingency a tax increase then to flesh this out and go after the rest of the deficit so I feel that way I will make one promise I would resist and would veto any attempt that a tax cut that has passed for 1984 and matter of fact I believe the economy has got a better chance to continue recovering if there isn't one in 85 the original contingency tax we suggested would be one that would go into effect in 86 if the congress had done what we said and had made all the cuts that needed to be made or tax increase I'm sorry tax increase incidentally let me just warn you about something that most people have forgotten 1977 under the previous administration they passed some social security reforms and those called for years of increases in the social security tax and those go all the way through the rest of this decade those increases alone are going to match the tax cuts that we have made already all we did was head off further tax increases as to what they're taking out of your pockets by the end of the decade the tax rate is going up for social security to 7.65% from the employee employer so that's more than 15% and at the same time every year virtually they're increasing the amount of income against which that tax is assessed so you're going to be having some tax increases and they're not saying anything about those I think what they want is with people's tendency to forget they want to looking forward to the day when they can say they're my tax increases I didn't pass them and I don't want them to be a senator and publisher of Danville, Illinois the first federal pay grade is about 25% higher than the minimum wage have you looked at that and considered reestablishing the minimum wage as the least pay level for jobs just as we have to look with it the minimum wage I take it if I understand correctly the lowest federal pay grade is 25% higher than the minimum wage is we all have to live with the minimum wage as our lowest pay grade for the least jobs I've wondered if you've considered reducing that pay grade to the same level we live with the minimum wage as the lowest pay grade well I can't recall anyone's proposed any such thing or that we've even discussed that but I would have to tell you that I believe that a lot of our ills are due to the minimum wage I think we have priced and jobs out of existence by making the price for them too high and if you go back figures will bear out that every time the minimum wage increases there is an increase particularly in young people who have no job skill to bring to the market the very least that we should do and we haven't been able to get any response in Congress to this the least that we should do is have two stages and have a lower minimum wage today for young people who are entering the job market for the first time and have no skill to bring to they're the ones that are sitting on the sidelines because no one can afford to hire them that's precisely my point your lowest paying job in the federal government pays even 25% more than the minimum wage and I guess I'm not sure that the least job in government is worth 25% more than the minimum wage you get a lot of bureaucratic answer to that but no I think the minimum wage was really designed for the most menial of jobs the jobs requiring no particular job skill the entry jobs and so forth and I think it's been overdone and as I say it's caused some of our problems incidentally when you hear the well just let me say one more thing and then I'll she's going to tell me one more question aren't you the let me say that the the biggest percentage of unemployment that's keeping our percentage level so high is for teenagers young people and I sometimes think that this isn't a fair measurement of unemployment because what it interests you to know that almost 48% of those who are listed as unemployed teenagers are presently going to school they're looking for after school jobs or weekend jobs we all did I did when I was in school myself but to tie that as a measure of the nation's unemployment is kind of taking our attention away from the real problem which is the wage earner with a family to support the person that is out there with a job skill and no job to which he can apply it but I think we should ask some questions about unemployment I asked one question to the Labor Department and we've got a new answer already I found out that they weren't counting our military as employed and now that they do the unemployment rate is lower yes sir President I'm Bob Ritter from Olympia, Washington do you currently have any contingency plans that might include reducing military spending as a way to increase the deficit on military spending I ran on the idea that we had been starving our military for so long that there really was a window of vulnerability I think we've closed largely that window of vulnerability we haven't closed it completely we haven't caught totally up but we've made a great difference now with malice of forethought I asked Cap Weinberger to take that job he was my finance director for a time when I was a governor and he didn't earn the name Cap the Knife for nothing but what everyone particularly in the Congress seems unwilling to admit is that they have been themselves over there under his direction reducing the budgets as they find ways to save and ways to improve all these horror stories recently about the high price of spare parts those are our figures we're the ones who found those high prices and we're the ones who are doing something about it and we've already had a number of indictments we have had refunds we've had dismissals of personnel we're getting at that we sent some inspectors out that were mean as junkyard dogs and they found that this was going on but the way I feel that we have to look at defense is this you look at defense not as how much do we want to spend what is necessary to assure our national security what weapons systems what numbers of personnel and all and once you've decided on that then you figure out and figuring just as sharply as you can with a sharp pencil what does it cost to provide that kind of national security and if you've gotten it down to where all the waste is out and we've taken advantage of our reduction of inflation below what our anticipation was I can tell you that right now the defense budget that is presently being talked about has been cut by the secretary of defense 16 billion dollars before he came in with it now to go to the congress with this and then have them say oh no we only want to spend X number of dollars then you have to say to the congress all right then what is it that you want to do without what weapons system do you want to do away with or do you want to cut the pay for the military I can tell you that when I started here everyone said that we of high school graduates in the military that we have ever had in our history even back in war time when we were drafting so many millions we have the highest percentage above average the average intelligence level in the military we have a waiting line of people who want to enlist in the service we have the highest retention now of non commissioned officers when we came here the first year if we had gone to a draft we didn't have enough non commissioned officers to train the draftees and that's all changed and I tell you when I get a letter from a hundred marines stationed over in Europe and those marines write me as they did about a year ago in the budget talk and say if giving us a pay cut will help our country cut our pay I wouldn't cut their pay if I bled to death the response from them all of them and is just so remarkable their pride there I've made a lot of telephone calls to families those who have lost their lives and I hang up the phone in worse shape than they were on the phone I've never heard such pride I've never heard such willingness to accept that that this was necessary and I've learned that the hardest thing that a president will ever have to do as far as I'm concerned is issue an order that some of our uniformed personnel have to go into an area where there is a possibility of harm to them that's the one that's the only problem that ever causes me to lose sleep but now I think that the military budget the defense budget incidentally when we set out over a five year period we had expected to increase over the Carter projections $116 billion we have already ourselves cut $79 billion out of that $116 billion increase and still we have a military that is further up to readiness well you saw the result in Grenada and I wish you could have all been on the South Lawn when about 400 of those students from Grenada came there at our invitation and we had 40 of the military back from Grenada from all four branches and to see them all the same age roughly the medical students and the military and to see those students they couldn't keep their hands off those young men in uniform everyone wanted to tell them personally that they had saved their lives I had some come up to me and tell me that when they were escorted to the helicopters and there had been gunfire all around that our men in uniform placed themselves in a position that if there was firing on them they would be hit not the students they shielded the students with their their bodies and it was a wonderful thing to see I've got a great deal of hope and optimism about the future of this country now having weathered all the riots on the campus when I was a governor to now see the quality of these young people and their dedication I didn't mean to make a speech but I can't help it I will wound up on that particular subject all right thank you all very much

The Beach Profile system is taking the level between the tides. One of the things that first came out was that that Beach profiling makes quite a large difference. That bottom line is the European overtop hazard threshold, and it is at least three times during the monitoring, that that would have been triggered. The other thing that came out was the overtopping frequency distribution. I'm a computer scientist, so you'll have to forgive me with some of the science details here. But effectively what we're looking at is that predicted high tide. The previous theory was that after that you would expect your overtopings to start decreasing in frequency. And what we can see there is actually they begin to increase in frequency about two hours afterwards. Still ongoing research into truly understanding what's happening there. Moving on to more of the technology which I can talk about at end is the actual system that happened from this more internet of things style setup. So we have our while over in the caller and it gets wet. When it gets wet it's going to transmit us data. That's going over the 3G network so it's connected into the mobile network. It comes directly to us in NOC. We have a piece of software called ERDAP which is an open source piece of software. Please do come and see me later if you want to know more about it. It's very interesting. We take loads of reference data sets so we can see Met Office, Environment Agency, Channel Coast. All gets put into ERDAP as a reference base. From there we have a single point of access where we can do very interesting things. One of those is build apps. So we can start looking at this which is a coastal hazard app. This app effectively allows us to give people insights within about a 10 minute frequency to what's happening at these particular sites. That is a QR code that is at the bottom. If anyone wants to try and scan that briefly before I move on to the next slide. There on the poster people can go and have a look at the data that is there. It wasn't just about the novel sensors though. There was a whole range of stuff that was part of the Crème Tee project. A walk was created with some digital artists so that took the deallocation of people that were going on walks around Penzance and Dawlish and then fed them information and facts around about where they were. It tied into the Coast Snap Gallery which is a big international setup. This allows people at certain defined points along coastal walks to take pictures, georeference them and then that builds up an archive of what the beaches look like over time. There are videos available of the beach profiles changing. Finally there is the educational output that came out of this. This project will live on in the sense that there is key stage 3 GCSE and A level data sets available. They all tie into that coastal hazards application that I mentioned. That is me. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.

Changing marketing landscape, marketing doesn't happen in an isolation, marketing doesn't happen in a vacuum, marketing happens in the society, society is changing. There are various things which has changed the marketplace. So here we are discussing that what are the various factors and what are the latest trends which are changing the marketplace. There are certain major developments, like digital age, rapid globalization, ethics and social responsibility, not for profit marketing. Let's look at them one by one. First is digital age. It is said that today's era is digital age, it is the era of the internet. So there is technology which is booming and has created a digital age. There is an immense growth in computers, communications, information and other digital technologies. This has a major impact on the ways companies bring value to their customers. Marketers and consumers along the globe are connected to each other through web and video conferencing. So technology and digital age have impacted all aspects of society. But the most impacted is business, marketing. You can see that the media of marketing is changing. We are moving towards social media from mainstream media, for our advertisement and communication. Through the internet and through social websites and through various blogging, companies are directly interacting with customers. Earlier, you provided news and TV. Your communication was a one-way communication. But in this digital age, your communication is a two-way communication. And the companies are interacting, taking feedbacks and direct responses with customers. And through their websites, through their Facebook pages, they are sending complete information. Not only in our country, but also in foreign countries, with all of you related to customers and maybe with the competitors. So this technology has helped us to globalize. Globalization is widely used in every field. Similar is with marketing. For the companies, it has become easier to globalize their marketing strategies. And the locally prevailing ones are influencing the marketing strategies that are being used globally. The relationship of customers and partners, partners who are your supply chain members, who are your suppliers, who are your distributors, marketers are taking fresh look at the ways they relate with the broader world around them. Many marketers are connected globally with their customers and partners. The international trading activities, which were quite difficult before, were easy due to technology. And the customers are now using international platforms to buy the products they like. Similarly, the suppliers and sellers are also facilitating through eBay, Amazon, Alibaba to sell their products. So marketers are becoming increasingly international in nature. The customer doesn't consider himself a customer of a country, he considers himself a global customer. And his expectations have increased because he is exposed to the international marketplace. Today, he says that if the safety standards of cars in the world are in airbags, then my car doesn't have airbags. Now it is very easy for him to know the value of any car in the world. And he can compare why I am being charged a higher price than X country customers. Then, the role of ethics and social responsibility is also becoming more and more. And companies are categorized by their marketing policies, production policies, business policies, to what extent they are ethical and to what extent they are unethical. What is the number of corporate social responsibility? How much socially responsible a company is. And these considerations, ethical and social considerations, they are now directly impacting the customers buying behavior. The customer prefers those companies who are socially and ethically responsible. The worldwide movement of consumerism and environmentalism have matured and marketers are being called upon to take greater responsibility for social and environmental impact of their action. What they are doing is not causing any harm to the environment. Like this ban on the plastic shopping bags. If there is a retailer who is still using plastic shopping bags, then the modern customer doesn't appreciate it. In fact, he understands that this is playing a role in environmental pollution. Similarly, the companies and marketing firms are taking ethical behavior, socially responsible and they want the environment to be protected. And then they market their objectives and strategies in a better way. They win a better position in the hearts and minds of the customers. Similarly, we have seen another trend in the modern era. It is not for profit marketing. First, the marketing was mostly related to business. And business is always for profit. But now, the big charities, big organizations, hospitals, religious institutions, providers of food, they also do marketing campaigns for donations, for fundraising. So that has also become a part of the new environment, new marketplace. In past, marketing has been most widely applied in the for profit business sector only. But in the recent years, marketing has become a major part of the strategy of many not for profit organizations like hospitals, colleges, universities, education institutions, of an age. So this particular aspect is also becoming very competitive in order to get the charities, in order to raise funds and have donations to run these nonprofit organizations.


The Senate Committee on Federal Capital Territory has frowned on the slow pace of work on Kashi Aroko Road, which was awarded in 2011 to Indigenous company Qatar Civil Engineering Limited. Chairman of the committee, Senator Smart Ademi, expressed dissatisfaction when he led members of the committee to an oversight visit on an oversight visit to some road projects across the territory. He added that Qatar Civil Engineering Limited has betrayed the trust of the patronage and also the confidence of the committee. I met as chairman of the FCT and don't forget that I've been here before, you know, since 2007. I've been a member of the FCT and chairman 2011 to 2015. So I have sufficient experience and knowledge of what they are doing. You know, I'm sure you're not impressed with that road. I mean, I'm not happy with what what demand has that the achievement recorded by an Indigenous company compared with that, the white guy that we saw his project, the SEC, you know. So but now we're standing, what we want to do when it comes to sit him down and ask him what are the problems and we're going to provide solution to it. We're going to try to commit them to writing or we actually demand that the job should be terminated. Meanwhile, the Minister of State for FCT, Ramatu Aliou advised the Qatar Civil Engineering Limited to get more hands to ensure the delivery of the job within a short timeframe. It's not easy to say, okay, we'll terminate the project in overriding public interest because sometimes the mitigations will also deprive, you know, residents and take longer periods to, you know, complete. So we'll see how basic will be mobilized if it means bilateral, you know, discussions with some other companies that are capable to ensure that the job is quickly done. The case is about the competence and the capacity to complete this job. We all know about Karshi Road and we know what is required. And when we came down, we also knew where the SCC is doing down to the Karshi. There's huge difference between even the quality of job and then the duration. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

What makes us human are not thumbs, some professors might teach, it's nothing to do with our physical ability, it's our ability to think, it's our ability to be rational, it's our ability to reason, plan, strategize, figure out ways in order to beat the sabertooth target, in order to hunt the food that we need, in order to grow the crops that we need in order to survive as humans.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jasperjasecasebreak.com. 2023, Panini, Macalick, Collegiate, Football just sold out. This is a five box case break pasting, this is number two. And again guys, another fresh case. So, here are the customer names there. And then here are the R&B names with the teams. All right, let's open up the case. Basically you have to tag most of these cards, of course, since they are mainly Collegiate, so obviously teams that they're currently on or teams they play for the longest if they're out of the league retired.  But it's a one-on-one and I guarantee you, I know you say you couldn't go, but if you would have went to like a national and requested a Panini redemption there, you would have got some really good stuff for it. Cause there they just handed out like candy.  In person, I've seen so many people complain so bad that they give them multiple boxes just to keep them happy and to move along to the next one. But I don't know now with like that, but if for some reason you still don't get it by the time the next national happens, just fly quickly for one day to the national and just get that taken care of in person. Let's take home Bargley. It's gonna go to the Giants when a Jerry. All right, we have a quadratic Rod Woodson monuments to 99. I believe Rod Woodson played with the Steelers mainly his whole career, right? The fifth, that. It's the same Rod Woodson I'm thinking of? Yeah, well, sorry, he played with the Steelers 10 years. Baltimore 4, 2, Oakland 1, San Francisco. So obviously Pittsburgh legend. But no, I'm serious though, like if that does happen, Chad, I mean maybe think about that. All right, Pittsburgh is going to David. We have a Devon Ashing, 7 out of 10, the Mammy Dolphins. Third round pick, Dolphins that is going to Ed. Well, it's not in Chicago this next year, it's I think in Cleveland. I think it's in Cleveland. So maybe not the desirable destination, but. It takes two years, it goes back to Chicago every other year. We have a Tanner McKee, Fly Eagles Fly. He's been looking good in preseason. I love Mario to man, but it's, he's looked a little rough, but I don't know.  Tanner McKee, nice one there for the Eagles. That's going to Nicholas. I love watching preseason football Chad. I mean, especially the Eagles. I just love to see how some young rookies are playing the bowl of people that I kind of want to make the scene. Three out of five, that's the running back for the Seahawks guys. And that's part of the R and B number three out of five. Spot five or sorry, three, I should say is Nathan. You see how they running back there. Now about more for the Seahawks, Jackson Smith and the Jigwa, 48 out of 49. Spot eight going to Steve Herrick, there you go. Back to back hits right there. Seahawks are a very good team to get included in football guys. I swear, there's definitely a one Jackson and one Carlos, I already said a Carbono. Carbono, in every case it feels like guaranteed. Yeah, I mean, I'm not saying like I get into it where I'm like, yeah, that's right Chad. You see preseason, the Eagles whooped the 49ers, huh? You know our vice versa. I'm not like that, but I see it more for my depth point of view.  In preseason, seeing how they look. And obviously for me being a big Eagles fan, Jalen Hurst, right? I mean, he's not going to play, but I got to see if potentially the backup is going to be the guy, you know? I don't know. I'm not, but I'm not like cocky about it. Like you see that game right there? Eagles won by like 30, like no, I'm not like that. I just, I watch more for like seeing how these young guys are playing and like, you know, what players are making like potentially the roster bubble. Ooh, that's a really, really thick box. This is heavy, really heavy. I don't think I've ever felt a box this heavy. It's probably has like a big relic in it. Well, Eagles had a couple of injuries yesterday. And that's another reason too to pay attention to preseason because kind of hate to find other, there's some big injuries on your team. Lamar Jackson to 99. He's going to Baltimore. Baltimore Ramses, David, all right. Then we got a big shoe relic, maybe. Quinton Johnson, I believe this is the big receiver for the Chargers, right? At a TCU, what is that? Sneak peek, piece of the shoe. I want to say that's Chargers. Yep, it's their first round pick. Three out of four. Chargers going to Oliver, that's nice, man. We have a signature moves there of Chase Brown. Let's look at Chase Brown. It's going to the Bengals fifth round pick. And Bengals is going to Simon. Ooh, another thick one. This is why it was a heavy box. How about Deuce Vaughn? Seven out of 10. Signature caps, piece of the hat in there, I guess. That's going to the Cowboys, Dallas Cowboys Ed. He's a very, very explosive, little dynamic running back right there. Very Darren Swirls-like, but I hope Jordan Davis and Jaylen Carr swallow him up, though. All right, then we got a redemption. How about Premium Patches, Rookie Autographs, Joey Porter Jr., which I believe, I didn't even realize it, but I guess Joey Porter Jr. got drafted by the Steelers, right? It's pretty cool. Yeah, Steelers. There you go, Pittsburgh Steelers. That's going to David. Last one, how about a huge laundry tag? What a break for the Chargers, Oliver, four out of five, Quinton Johnson, or Johnston, sorry. Beautiful laundry tag right there, and that's another one there for the Chargers. Two boxes down, guys. Three more to go, still plenty of big hits hiding, guys. This is actually going to be the case hit, guys, that is Justin Fields for the Bears. Not numbered, so that'll actually be randomized to one customer in the R&B, I believe, so I think it's part of the R&B, right, yeah. So Justin Fields, these are case hits this year, bull season, so we'll randomize that at the end to one person in the R&B, only the R&B hits the side. And how about another randomizer, CJ Stroud and Justin Fields. How about for the Bears and Houston Texans? So Pat with the Houston Texans, if you win that randomizer, go straight to you. If the Bears win, it's going to go to the R&B, spot four, 84, which goes to Peter Ang. So another randomizer to do there. We have a Jake Plummer, 33 out of 49. Nice one there for Arizona State. Now Jake Plummer, I specifically remember been playing for the Broncos, but I believe he was drafted by the Cardinals, right? So let's see who you play for the longest. It looks like six years with Arizona, four years with Denver. So yeah, Arizona Cardinals. And that's going to Chad O. Well, Anderson Jr., four out of 99. I believe this was the Texans' first pick, right? This past year, and they traded back in. Yep, Texans. So Houston Texans win the pat. Hey, Michael Mayer, 37 out of 65. Nice three-colored patch right there for Notre Dame Fighting Irish. And this was Raiders, right? Yeah, Raiders. That's why they got rid of Waller. So we're going to draft this guy. And last one here is very nice, Quinn Ewers. How crazy is that the Texas Longhorns have Quinn Ewers on their roster and Arch Manning? 59 out of 75. And that's going to go to the non-NFL team, which is Walter. Jaren Hall to 43. BYU. And Minnesota Vikings, drafted in the fifth round. Good question, Timothy. I think, yes, I know in the last couple of years, collegiate basketball has been like online exclusive or like got to buy it through the Panini store. I don't know if they make Immaculate though. I feel like I've only ever seen National Treasures and Flawless, but if they do, they probably do it in like one of those like Chronicles collegiate where like they mix in all those products, but thinking about it now, I don't know if they have a standalone Immaculate product, but I know they do Flawless and they do NT. Those are usually like online exclusives. Actually, Minnesota Vikings is actually 34. It's about four, that's going to Peter. All right, next one we have is Zach Evans. 91 out of 99. And Zach Evans was a running back for the Los Angeles Rams. Six round pick. Rams going to Walter. All right, we got a patch autograph of Tank Bigsby. I always get the two tanks confused because there's like two of them. It's like Tank Dell, I think there is, and then Bigsby. And this is a Jacksonville Jaguar. All right, we have a Redemption and it's Keely Ringo. Very nice rookie patches Emerald. That is going to go to my Eagles. Out of 99. New York Giants. Fast box mojo. Going to Jared, they're the Giants. Guys, good luck. So again, we have another case of Immaculate up guys. If you guys want to run it back, I can turn it into an R&B soon or you guys can buy a spot straight up. It seems like the top scrum blaster might have sold out already. Dual casers, that one. Nine left in the pack filler for, all right. So definitely the blaster case is coming out. Our case hit here. Bowl season, Mack Jones. It's going to go to the Patriots, Bob. So there you go. Bowl season Immaculate going to Bob for the New England Patriots. We have a Trayvon Walker, Jalen Carter dual. So Jacksonville Jaguar's Chateau and Jalen Carter with my Eagles. That's Nicholas. That'll be another animizer later. And another Zach Evans, which should be going to the Rams in a nice patch autograph there to 25, two colors. All right, two more to go guys. Three more, sorry. Louis Cunningham out of Louisville, 24 out of 49. I like this dude in college. Malik, those things on the Patriots right now. Well it's not drafted, it looks like, but on the Patriots. All right, two more to go guys. We have another redemption. It's Joey Porter Jr. team slogan cuts. Die cuts, just going to Pittsburgh. Nice break there, David. And last one here is a Hendon Hooker. Nice quarterback there. Seven out of 65, that's going to the Detroit Lions. Lions, David B. Awesome guys. There you go. So we do have to do a couple of randomizers. Did get a couple hits for the R&B and potentially a little bit more with after a couple of randomizers, but a lot of hits here for a lot of teams, of course. And hit a Quinn Ewers there. Michael Marin, nice patch autograph. A lot of nice stuff in general though. Quinton Johnson was pretty sweet. The Deuce Vaughn is a part of Five Quinton Johnson. Yeah, nice stuff guys. Now let's do the randomizers here for a couple of these cards. So this will be for just the R&Bs. This one will be between the R&B and the Houston Texans. This will be the Eagles and the Jaguars. Switch scenes. All right, so the first one will be all the R&B names. Houston and Chicago. Philly and Jacksonville. All right, here we go guys. Same dice roller for all. Two to four, six times. One, two, three, four, five, six. Six times, six, six. Zack, there you go. You're gonna get the case hit bowl seasons for the Chicago Bears. Now let's go six times down on the next one. One, two, three, four, five, six. Going to Houston. Houston's staying with that one and it's gonna pat and six here. One, two, three, four, five, six. Going to my Eagles. There you go. And that's going to Nichols. So there you go guys. Thank you guys so much. Again, another case is in the store. Jasperyscasebreak.com.


so you've updated the 10.3 yes yes this is our latest product released now in the HKTBC autumn edition 2019 this is the new books note 2 and now it has a fingerprint sensor right here right and block the device very securely very nice because you want to protect all your documents all your work I mean users need to have the possibility of have a secure device that if it gets stolen they don't get any specific information they may have it's really encrypted data yeah so even the person who steal it there's no chance they can see the documents no if they if they put it here it need to unblock still need to unblock to connect to computer yes so it's encrypted data so all the notes you're taking around here about all your secret business plans you can you can say I want to rule the world or something like this you don't want everybody to know exactly so this is one of our latest features for the note 2 for the ones you already know the max 3 this guy here this is the 10.3 using can you hold this yes sure yeah hold it and let's let's let me just change the so how do you change the front light here here and let's turn it down so now they are both without the front light 10.3 inch and this is 13.3 yes the max 3 and note 2 next generation of their sizes max 3 was was released in ifa berlin early September and this one October and it's the same platform now is octa core I'm Cortex a 53 64 bit yeah well come yeah exactly exactly you said it better than me yeah so that means it's a powerful speedy long battery this this solution makes the device runs much faster in order to be a unique based product it runs faster and is even more energy efficient than before besides we have increased the battery in 4,300 I mean we have increased 200 milliampers more now it's 4,300 milliampers battery so how long battery life do you have how long can you use this I mean if you are using the device as always six to eight hours per day I mean we always keep like between six to ten days I would say six to ten days using it regularly and setting up the configuration of the device appropriately like and turning off Wi-Fi after several minutes if you are not using it or going to sleep mode after several minutes if you are not using it this type of configuration will help to use a device for longer time before you charge it yeah so like two weeks one month as I as I said if using it every day about six to ten days maybe with this 200 milliampers more you can get a little bit more of battery but I would say these six to ten days for sure for sure nice maybe later if you don't use it six to eight hours per day because not everyone is going to use it that long then you can even have it maybe half month I think one of the challenges probably also is what's happening right here with the Wi-Fi so when you have Wi-Fi turned on or the Bluetooth also it's important to have a chipset that's very energy efficient so you don't use too much power yes so for that reason the Qualcomm is one of the one of the this possibilities provides us this possibility to be energy efficient and to run the device for longer time what come basically invented Wi-Fi kind of or something like that they really expert in keeping the power low when you do this kind of stuff because let's say you want to sync which you still have over here yeah to sync the to be in the device with one of these accounts ever no dropbox or one node so when you sync right here it's going of a Wi-Fi so you want to have long battery life while you sink yeah exactly so that's that's one of the purpose and now we are using Wi-Fi 5 5d 5 gigahertz better connection yeah better connection yeah better connectivity with different networks because those ebooks and documents that you want to sync it's small data but you want to be optimal so you don't use the whole battery in one day there's no point in having a device if it's only one day of course of course that that is what would be our difference against lc tablets if not the battery is one of our main differences and we keep improving that in our devices so what happens since if I if I was only one month ago but what happens do you have even more stuff happening in software already not with software exactly I mean we improve our devices that may probably if there is some back or if there is some new features coming on it will be constantly improved because it's really shipping right yeah this one Max 3 is that we are already selling it in our bookshop and in Amazon and of course of course this one this one will be released in November the note to November around November you will be able to buy it so that means you're still finalizing the last few things about the software yeah for example this is a sample working sample but the back is black color the mass production one will be dark gray slightly different yeah it has the two the two speakers on the back for listening to music and here have a the type C it has also supports also OTG standard the same as Max 3 so you can black and play keyboard mouse or even a TF card reader without the need of any driver you have on the bottom you have the mic for the voice recognition to convert it into digital text you have several options this also the Max 3 to rotate rotate the screen let's do it upwards nice you can rotate it you can rotate it what did you not show in my previous videos what's other cool stuff for example you have another way to protect your notes as before we were saying to unblock the device and to unblock it with finger recognition we have the chance to block the notes you can use finger print or use separate numbering password so every time you want to open that click on the use fingerprint but then it needs to be your finger or something and that's it you just clicked and now it's protected and you don't even see the thumbnail cool that's really nice so you can unlock the whole device but also every every item actually you block all the notes you block all the notes so once you do this it just everyone and now you unlocked it all of them or just one at a time just one all right I think it's very important functionality is very good you have very cool you have this stuff working yeah maybe I show you also the possibility when you when you read some text maybe not this one you can use a split-screen and doing it with the same with the same document or you can for example split it with along with another document but when you split the same document you want to change both pages every tap no yeah and you have the functionality also for example for the note scores you want to have two pages of the notes of the scores so just showing the page one and two right now it seems to have two times the same document so you're changing this one and that one but you can probably bind them right yeah the pianist and musicians will find a setting yeah there's a way there's a way all right and finally you can also split-screen with your notes on the side the good thing is when you take your notes when you're writing a specific book and you're taking notes on the side and then you say that then when you go to notes you have the normal notes and then you have the side note here well this is just a different side note you need to block now and you will get the notes you take here you have the navigation board which is a very useful feature because you have direct access to different functions like going back control multitask management you can manage the different apps close all of them now let's go back you can turn it off and the good thing is that you can change those features of the navigation ball through its app you can choose okay what thing is what let's change this one now we go here and we do a screenshot safe in storage pictures screenshots so then you can go to the storage storage pictures screenshots and find a screen you take you can also share over the Wi-Fi over Bluetooth maybe to your phone no Bluetooth Bluetooth still is just for connecting with Bluetooth accessories such as the keyboard such as the mouse etc headset very important to listen you can listen to your music inside of the device through a Bluetooth headset or text to speech or podcasts etc and also regarding data transfer it can receive data from another device as a sender such as for example laptop can send the data to the device but the device is not a sender cannot send it and Wi-Fi you have the Wi-Fi transfer which as far as is connected to the same network you can transfer the data and I guess you can install the Kindle app for example yes and as far as I remember they have a really amazing feature where you have ebooks but at the same time you can get the audiobooks while you're reading maybe that's might be one of the functions in the Kindle also it depends on the app right so if the app supports audiobooks you could be reading and at the same time on your Bluetooth headphones you have a listening to yeah I'll give you the password 1 2 3 4 yeah alright and then you can get your audiobooks if you want yeah of course I mean you can buy you can buy it and read it or download it and read in your in your device reader and then of course you can listen to music if you want and probably the best way to learn Chinese is to read the Chinese ebooks while you get the audiobook so basically you're learning the Chinese yeah but it's not that easy to learn Chinese even in that way right before I try I'm trying to learn Chinese already you can say a few things probably huh you can say a bunch of things what do you want me to say that this is a good way to jump in 非常棒非常很好 and it's really cool you have to buy it now 这个非常棒的的唱片你必须现在卖的 okay


So the Yankees are assured of a winning series. They will go for a sweep in Houston tomorrow, the final game before the All-Star rake. Jameson Tyone goes for the Yankees, four and four, 5.05 ERA on the season over his last 3-3, you know, with a 3.38 in opposition, Framber Valdez.
