Let's get back to the video. All right here we have the pro- wait there's no product here. Oh we better grab it. I have just revealed that the background is not fake it is real items. Alec has purchased this elemental hero Nios 10 for me. I posted to my members a few tens that I had for sale and asked if anybody wanted to do a video opening and Alec has said yes I want to grab this thing and I want you to open it up. So I'm super excited for that. I asked if there was anything he wanted me to say and he said just pull something good. He didn't actually ask me to say just pull something good but I you know he said that so there we go. But we're not just going to be opening that up today. We also have a couple of tens to go with it. We have a 2021 10 not the craziest 10 ever but we also have a 2022 10 which is not labeled. So we have 2021 and 2022 you can tell by the back it says you know 2022 not that crazy. So a couple of tens I will be opening up alongside Alec's elemental hero Nios 10. Hopefully he gets a minty promo. Let's hop into it and start opening. I'm going to crack open these two and then we'll get into the Nios 10 later. All right we have grabbed our three packs out of each so only six total packs but they are mega packs. They're pretty large a lot of you know foils and cards inside. And we have Alex 10. If you guys are interested in potentially having a 10 open for you I have a few other ones available such as a couple more in the background. I have a Cyber Dragon 10. I have a Robbie L 10. I have some 2004 tens available. So if you're interested in that hit me up on Instagram or through email. Let's go we can do a video just like this and it would be pretty epic. Hopefully today has some pretty amazing pulls. So I'm going to start off with the 2021 10 probably the lowest value or at least interesting of these that we have before us. But oh fusion deployment that is a prismatic secret. I forgot that comes right off the supers in this one. I think in 2022 they fixed that. Titanic Lab very good ultra rare. We'll take that. And then Raider's Wing. I think it's all comments after this. Okay Light Dragon at Ignister. Cool. Okay let's do a little 2022 10 of the Feral Gods. Because we were opening a 10 I had to open some of the most recent tens and speaking of the new tens do come out very soon. I have a discount code down below with sassy out of I don't remember what the exact name is but we have 10% off for a while. By the time you see this might be 5% off but go check it out. They come out at the beginning of September. So I'm super hyped. They're not 25th anniversary rares. They're going to be super awesome. It's going to be fun time to prismatic secrets per pack as well. So it's going to be pretty awesome. It's like your race or laser instant affiliate link if you guys do use that. Ice Jade Tremora. Cool. We have Mascarae the Blazing Dragon. The Alavain and the Essence of Anity. We have the Dark Eye Nightmare. The bottom prosperity baby. Let's go. That's the best card in the tin. First pack of 2022. I got a little confused there because I switched to 2022 and I was like wait did I skip the secret rare and then I was like oh wait this is 2022 and then I pulled this and I yeah craziness just in suit. That's the best card you can pull. Maybe that's a good time for Alex Nios 10. Okay let's crack this bad boy open. It's Nios 10 time. Before we do let's take out one last look at it. Beautiful. The window is so cool. Secret rares. There's six different ones. You know all variant cards.  First launch at Elements of Hero Nios Cyber Dragon and Raviel. Look I have those other two available also if you're interested. Then we have the second launch. Oh no it doesn't tell the second launch. It just tells which packs there are. Yeah two CRV packs. Elements of Energy. Shadow of Infinity. Enemy of Justice. Two CRV. Much better in wave one. I think wave two has just like one CRV and they might have thrown in like what is it cyberdark impact or something lame. Yeah I mean it's a cool set but not in hobby. It's kind of iffy. Okay let's open this thing up. Here we go. It's not there was a tin because it is a pretty cool item even when opened. Let's open this thing up Nios. One of my favorite 10s. I think it looks amazing. I'm a big green fan so the green on it is really nice. The Secret Rare Nios looks incredible so hopefully this thing is gradeable for him. Even if he doesn't grade it you still want it to be gradeable right. All right let's go. Elements of Hero Nios at the top. Very awesome. And Elements of Hero Nios at the bottom as well. Let's go. All right sintering looks pretty good from what I could tell. Let's get these out of the way real quick. Let's get this out very carefully. All right there we go. That took a little little struggle there but I love that they put in the plastic so it doesn't rub the back like crazy like in 2002. Look at that Secret Rare. That looks insane. Back pretty minty on this card. It's a little warped as you can see. I think it's just warped. Yeah it's just a little warped. Books can help but it's really not that bad. It's a little warped as you guys can see. First it looked bent. I was like oh no but it looks like the sintering is pretty good. The surface is pretty good. Little print line I saw on the back. That's about it. That's a really nice Nios. Okay let's get everything else out. We have the pocket guide. All right if you need to guide your pockets there you go. And then we have five packs. There's nothing at the bottom here. Yeah and I think it's zeksel. They started putting those sleeves in there. Not in this one. We have tag force coming soon. Look at this. Coming fall 2006. That's insane. Coming in 17 years ago. All right so inside as we saw we have the uh man double cybernetic revolution. Very cool stuff. That that promo looks amazing. I'm gonna get it out of the way so I don't actually like hit something on it or something. All right let's do one of the CRV because there are two of them. Let's see if we can pull that cybern dragon. I mean cyber dragon would be cool as well. There's a lot of other great cards but cybern dragon ultra. I'm not sure. I've never actually pulled like a hobby ulti out of a tin. I don't know if you can but either way there's some really good retail ones as well. So if we could pull like bubble man that'd be pretty amazing. One two three four. That would that would be more than amazing. That would be an insane pull. Dragon's mirror let's go. We have the Jerry Beans man. Ah one of the greatest cards of all time. Jerry a bean soldier believes he is the strongest warrior in the world but his true abilities are still untested. Let's go that's a rucks and special right after that. We have Ebon. Untested his abilities. Drillroid. The poison draw frog.  Watch out. Cycroyd. He would not be allowed during COVID especially. We have the gyroid. Very nice. We have a protective soul. And finally we have transcendent wings. Also a very cool ultimate rare if you can get it. It's very very beautiful. Okay nothing in that one. That's okay. Let's go back to 2021 and take a little little detour back to the present. Well still a couple years old but more present I should say. Squeak Knight. Deep Sea. We have torpedo. Penguin brave. Arc net. Arc jet. Lightcraft. I said Arc Knight. Where'd that come from? Titan. Cider. Okay here comes the secret. Oh it's Sky Striker Ace Rose. I think it's a dollar. That's not bad. We have an ultra rare. A Rest of the Windy. A Guy of the Fierce Knight. Okay so okay. Little B Trooper action. Very very cool. All right one more 2022. Will this have the pot of prosperity inside? Could you imagine if it was back to back in the same tin? That'd be pretty insane. We have guitar. Gnards. I would like to pull a red-eyes drape. That'd be pretty cool. Scale bomber. Psychic eraser. Laser. Flounder ease. That's a rucks and special. Judge of the Ice Bear. We have Sun Avalon Daphne from Scooby-Doo. Ghost Reaper and Winner Shares. Not bad either. The True Sun God. Brother of Acclamation. And we have a... Oh it was a spell card. Small World. Not a bad card either. We'll take it. I feel like I'm doing pretty good out of these tins in this video. And speaking of let's do something crazy for Alec. We have Enemy of Justice. And we pull something nice. We have one, two, three, four. Let's get an ultimate rare. What was it? Shining Phoenix Enforcer? Never got him. Cyber gymnast. Necroichummin. That's already an elemental hero. Good start. Emergency call. Will we pull the clock tower prison? Battery Mandi. The storming wind. The wind is storming. Ossa Avalanching. We have the O. Oversoul. Oh and a macro cosmos. I thought it was a foil for a second. That's just a comment in this set. That's still a good card though. It does have... It doesn't have a recent reprint. If it doesn't this could be a couple blocks. And finally will this be a foil? Come on. Foil and macro cosmos. Let's do it. Oh! Miracles Descent. I thought it was something for some reason. Okay Miracles Descent. Okay we got a good card at least but it is not like a crazy card so we're just gonna have to keep hoping. We're gonna save Shadow Infinity because you know what we're searching for there. Elemental energy. Speaking of shining. The Shining Flare Wingman. Can we pull it? I don't think I've ever pulled a Shining Flare Wingman. Even an Ultra Rare. So that would be pretty awesome. Unless you count opening the tin. I think I opened the tin at one point. So I did pull that out of there. One, two, three, four. Come on Elemental Energy. We have Nano Breaker. Breaking Nano. We have Feather Wind. The League of Uniform Nomenclature. V-Tiger Jet. Weed Out. We have Infernal Incinerator. We have the Oja Magic and their Magic Show. Is it next? Dark Deal. No it is not. It is the Dark Deal. And finally we have Ultra Jazz. Why are you showing up Jazz? Nobody likes your cards. All right two more tin packs and then we will finish with CRV and Shadow of Infinity. There's a couple of cards we need to pull out of there. But first we'll pull Curse of Dragon. The Curse of Dragon. Not redundant at all. Mutually Assured Destruction. And by Assured I mean Affirmed. Hind Seek. We have Lingeriebo. Pretty nice card in Super Rare. We have the Arc Rebellion XC and... Ooh! Ecclesia the Virtuous. Another nice one. We're doing pretty well right now. It's one of the best secrets in that set. It's not very expensive because it's not a great set. True Light for Blue Eyes. Very cool. Gizmek. And the Virtual World. Okay cool stuff, cool stuff. Overall doing really crazy out of these tin packs. I'm hoping the last two will do something crazy for Alec because it's been a little bit of a slow start. Ice Jade. Not awesome. Fabled. Steel Star. Ice Jade again. Stop it. We have Gunken. Super Natural Danger Zone. That's a Ruxen Special. Levolval. We have Ruxen Special right into the Slower Swallow. Pretty weird. We have the Trapchicks Kalaria. The War Rock Skyler. Shout out to the Farf Man. We have Nibiru. Dude I'm crushing her right now. I'm getting so lucky. This is so good. And here we go. I'm at an insane tin, dude. A Prismatic Droplet. A Nibiru. A Bada Prosperity. A Dogmatica. Ecclesia the Virtuous. That was out of 2021. But still overall. Wow. This is crazy. These polls are awesome. Can we please end it with something crazy here? So at least get a foil. Let's make it a Sacred Beast. Come on. You know we've been searching for that for many years guys. Let's go. Many, many years. I've known Mr. Krabs for many years. One, two, three, four. Let's pull something awesome. Success Probability Zero with Kazaki at the computer. Didi Guide. It used to be a two dollar comment by the way. Trial of the Princesses. Hero Kid. The Saber Beetle. A Lightsaber on the beetle. Magnet Circle Level 2. We have Disciple of the Forbidden Spell. And finally we have... Maybe that's not finally. Do we have another card? Okay. That felt like one card. I was like ancient gear as a comment. All right. One more card. Here we go. Out of the flying pan. Frying pan. No flying. Fly you fools. Okay. Hobbit Reference. This is not the flying pan. It's a frying pan. But it does have Pot of Greed on it. This also Pot of Greed as the guy from the Good Goblin Housekeeping on it. Hanging out with whoever that dude is. I don't know if he's on another artwork. Not a crazy valuable one, but it is a really cool artwork. And it's an Ultimate Rare, which you are definitely not guaranteed.  That's awesome. Now can we go back to back? Can we pull one out of the Cybernetic Revolution pack as well? All right. Final pack. Will the flying pan bless us? I was about to say bless us. That doesn't make sense. Sounds wrong though. All right. Here we go. Final pack. CRV for Alec. Ultimate Rare. I'm very happy he got that. Can we get him a second one? Let's go. Bubble Man, please. Pot of Generosity. That would be so crazy. There's another pot card. We have Steam Gyroid. Look, inscription. Start! Soitsu. Okay. Giant Kazaki. Indomitable. Fighter. Lele. 2300 4-star. Not bad. Tairano Infinity.

Everyone was telling him that the election was not stolen by fraud. Do you think he knew that he lost the election? Do I personally believe that? Yeah, at first I wasn't sure, but I have come to believe that he knew well that he had lost the election. And they're also saying that he was just exercising his first amendment right here. Do you think that's a valid argument in your view? No, I really don't think that's a valid argument because, you know, as the indictment says, you know, they're not attacking his first amendment right. He can say whatever he wants. He can even lie. He can even tell people that the election was stolen when he knew better. But that does not protect you from entering into a conspiracy. All conspiracies involve speech, and all fraud involves speech.  The other thing that they're arguing, including John Laro, Trump's new attorney to me last night, was that they were simply asking the former vice president, Mike Pence, to pause on the counting of votes. Mike Pence pushed back on that today, said that's not what they were asking him to do. Let's be clear on this point. It wasn't just that they asked for a pause. The president specifically asked me, and his gaggle of crackpot lawyers asked me to literally reject votes, which would have resulted in the issue being turned over to the House of Representatives, and literally chaos would have ensued. What do you make of his supporters, his political supporters, giving him money to his campaign, and he then uses that for his legal fees and his co-defendants' legal fees? Yeah, I find that sort of nauseating. I mean, this guy claims to be a multi-billionaire, and, you know, he goes out and raises money from hardworking people, small donors, and tells him this is to defend America and to, you know, take care of the elect. He didn't provide any significant support during the 22 elections, and a lot of this money seems to be going to his legal fees.


All right, we're back. It is 1012 on April 28th and we're going to go through. We're picking up on s 120 where we left off and now that we have ledge council with us we are going to go through the language and see what changes have been made or the improvements that have been made. Great. I will. Now can you let me share my screen. I will put up the language. All right. Jennifer Carby legislative council this is s 120 and we're looking now at draft 3.1 which I believe is posted, and specifically at the pbm and 340 be language. I've done a markup showing the changes from the earlier versions that we've looked at. This is still adding some language in title 18 and an existing section on pharmacy benefit managers pbms and their required practices with respect to pharmacies. In this new subsection D, it would say that a pharmacy benefit manager shall not. And then we took out this sort of broader language and stuck with the narrow to narrow provision so shall not require a claim for a drug to include a modifier to indicate that the 340 be drug unless the claim is for payment directly or indirectly by Medicaid or restrict access to a pharmacy network or adjust reimbursement rates based on a pharmacies participation in a 340 be contract pharmacy arrangement. It would prospectively repeal that on January 1 2023, which keeps it in effect through the end of 2022 and at midnight. As it turns to 2023 that's when they repeal would occur. So obviously you can change this date I think the way the language had been provided to you was that it would take effect immediately and would expire on this date and less run December 31 2022 unless it was extended. And it does the same thing, because the legislature retains that ability to modify or extend the date, but it sets it up to happen, and then it has DFR, and the Office of Attorney General so on or before January 15 2022 DFR. So the question with the Office of the Attorney General would report to this committee House health care and to the finance committee regarding national activity affecting participation in the 340 be drug pricing program, including recent changes to the program in which prescription drug manufacturers pay rebates to pharmacy benefit managers for prescriptions filed through 340 be pharmacies, the potential impacts of these changes on Vermont stakeholders including individual Vermonters, and possible state responses to prescription drug manufacturer and pharmacy benefit manager actions related to participation in the 340 be drug pricing program. And then finally in the effective date section. I struck out the language saying that the PBM 340 be provision would take effect July 1, and instead just says it takes effect on passage. So everything would take effect on passage. Okay, thank you and we do. We do have this on our webpage and the changes do begin on page seven so we're all set. We probably can take that down less committee questions on the language for Jen. That's there you go. That's good. All right. Committee discussion. Jen really thank you so much for working with folks on this. And it really does offer clarity is extremely helpful. You know, we, what we said before you got here was that these, these types of things come up at the last minute frequently. And fortunately, we were able to make some changes that accommodate the request hasn't been easy. It never is. But I think it does. It is important going forward. So, thank you for being with us on this one. Good. Okay. Any other questions discussion committee. Any other questions overall on s 120 discussion. I have one item. It was brought to my attention by diva. And diva was asking if the primary care study could the one that asks how much will it cost to what are the costs associated with two primary care visits for everyone without copays. The suggestion was to put that into the benchmark study with DFR. Unfortunately, the bill had already been through the budget process and was taken out of the bill that we have before us. And then I heard from the green mountain care board that it might cost some money to do the study that we have in there so that's that's that's hanging out there my suggestion to diva was to please take this to this to the house and perhaps to the appropriations committee as they negotiate the budget so it it's not something that we can deal with right now it's unfortunate. That one came too late for us to consider, but probably a good suggestion. So, at least in my mind. That one I'm just letting you know that that's out there and senator hooker you're you're on the hook for that one in some way because you're reporting the bill but go ahead. Right, so it's still included in this bill. No, the, which does the primary care primary care is in the bill absolutely it's in the bill. It is in the bill. The request from diva was to include primary care analysis. It's in the benchmark plan. Senator Cummings. Yesterday we had some talk about the administrative cost study and what it was going to include like the cost of complying with our are taking part in our. Health care reform, health care reform, the bill back for all right care. Just to make sure that it's not a yep it's gone up 20% but it's gone up 20% because have we covered that. There are no changes. I have not made any changes to the report requirement. So right now it still says just an analysis of the increase in administrative expenses with the increases in the CPI it doesn't. It doesn't break anything out. I think analysis might imply the type of information but are you would you like to see might be helpful to say, including but not limited to cost of participation with, you know, health care reform efforts. Cost that have been shifted from the general fund. We've, we've done that. Would it be helpful, Senator Cummings to have in this information that gets provided. So now the language is having the Green Mountain care board provide an analysis just of those increases do you want them to break out sort of which ones, nor what the increases are, both including and then excluding the, the bill back the premium processing. Yeah, administrative costs. The first assumption is oh everybody got a raise. Yes. Our a lot of raises and I think we need to make clear that there are other factors involved in the increase in that cost. How we do that, I don't know. We could look. I mean, I think you can, I think we can, can have the the board present the information, you know, I think we can put language in that directs them to maybe to break out the different, either the different categories, you know, or exclude these types of expenses. You know, so they could give you an overall administrative costs, and then administrative costs, excluding these categories or the increase. So we know all of them but broken out by category cost drivers by category. That's good. How's that. I think that works. So, so just to say the board shell shell just trying to think of how to say it. The analysis shall include or will have Yeah, I don't know how to show categories of expenses related to increases over time something like that. I think Senator Cummings language about cost drivers is is appropriate and they should know what that means that that's a term that's used for what what is making the administrative costs increase and that works. Nolan is here. Yeah, you could instead of being specific you could say including causes drivers and other I just added a second sentence that says the analysis shall break out the administrative cost drivers by category. Is that, is that get at what you're looking for. That's great. Done. Good. Good reminder Senator Cummings thank you. Do you want to show it to us Jen briefly after you get it. Sure. Okay, yes I was just updating the number. Okay. So yes let me put it up. What does that make it 3.2 3.2 because I have to take out the highlighting and stuff anyway. So this is the new sentence here. So we have just analysis shall break out. Do you want to take out the word the before administrative cost drivers and just have it be administrative cost drivers by category that always implies that there's kind of a definitive number and I'm wondering whether that's possible. Could go into into micro categories. Well, we'll add inch maybe we'll add insurers. Yeah, in here so it's clear they don't have to compare the cost drivers in the CPI. Yes. I wonder if it should say so breakout administrative costs and cost drivers because you have your costs which are fixed. And I think of cost drivers as things that are constantly pressures. How's that. How's that work with our financial wizards. Is that good. Senator Cummings is that work for you. Where is she. It's so hard when we can't see each other. Ruth you're a good with that. I would just say the analysis shall break out insurers administrative cost drivers by category. Okay, so Nolan that's what I had. Yeah, that's what you had. So then Nolan suggested to put in administrative costs because there are some fixed costs. I think it's just redundant but you know I don't have strong feelings about it so you know either way is fine with me. Let's let's leave the Department of redundancy and for now. Okay, you know, still has a ways to go. Okay. Should we also in the in the area of redundancy, Senator Hardy all of this, but show the analysis shall identify and break out. I think it's I think that's redundant. Really. That was really redundant. Jen Jen gets paid by the word I'm just trying to help her. Oh, no. We go for conciseness. I think honestly I do think that the folks filling it out will know exactly what we're looking for and I think I think you're right. We don't need. Right, and this might be a yep. Okay, this is good. Are we good with that then. Anybody on the committee not good with it. All right. Let's. So Jen, does that make it then 3.2. Yes, and I also will stop sharing. Yeah.  The PBM stuff. Okay. Okay. Any further discussion. Anything else. Now I would accept a motion. On draft 3.2. Yes. I move that we accept draft 3.2 of S 120 pending. Clean up. Yeah. Clean up has been completed. Clean up is completed. Can you send that to Nellie so it's on our webpage. That'd be good. That'll be the final, the final draft for the reporter. Okay. So are you suggesting that you'd like to pass this to the full Senate? Absolutely. Okay. Committee discussion. Questions. Senator Taranzini. Yes. Thank you, Senator Lines. I'll. Call the roll for S 120 draft 3.2. Starting with myself on me. Yes. Senator Hooker. Yes. Senator Harris. Yes. Senator Hardy. Yes. Senator Lines. Yes. I have a vote of five to zero, zero. Perfect. And Senator Hooker, you are the reporter. Yes, ma'am. Okay. And this bill. So in discussions, uh, various discussions, discussion number one, the bill will go to rules. And I understand that there is some interest on the part of, uh, rules we're hoping to move the bill out favorably to. The full Senate. So that. Senator Hooker, you may be invited into rules. I'm on that committee. Yeah. Huh. I'm on that. Yeah. Okay. Good. All right. And so it's either you or me, but you're perfectly capable. So the, um, And then the other issue on this bill is that. And talking with my Senate. Uh, Peer. About the bill to the, in the committee of jurisdiction in the, in the house rather. Um, there was huge concern expressed about the lateness of the bill. So, um, We're continuing a dialogue and I understand that there will be a dialogue going on, uh, in the. Other places as well. So just to let you know, this is a. This will be a heavy lift for house members. No, imagine our getting a bill right now that. Uh, I don't know. But it's not like they haven't known about it because I've been in conversation with representative Lippert now for a long time about the bill. So that's it. For that one. Good work. Thank you. Thank you, Nolan. Thank you, Jen. Um, committee. Uh, thank you folks who are still with us, uh, Helen and, um, I appreciate it. It's good. Okay. Anything else committee? Cause I think we're really, uh, I don't have anything else on the agenda for us today. As I said, keep your eyes open for Friday. We may have an update from, uh, CDD, uh, DCF on, um, residential children's residential care facilities. So thanks, Jen. Um, okay. So we're good. Excellent. Now you have some time to, uh, Get ready for the floor. I know that there are a lot of bills of ours coming up.


Hey everyone, Sam here. This is a quick web series about solving web problems with standards. These tips are part of the platform and work with any framework or library. These are quick tips, so let's go. If you're building a single-page application, a website that changes its content without reloading, make sure the browsers back and forward buttons do something. Not just send you back to your favorite search engine. Let's see how. When a user clicks something or changes the state, you can call history.pushState to set a new URL without changing the page. You also want to add a pop state handler. If the user presses back or forwards, you'll be called with the URL and any state you passed so you can reconfigure your page. That's actually it. But when you're setting new URLs, remember this. If the user loads that URL in a new browser tab, it should be able to bring up your expected state. The key here is that these URLs can't just be imaginary. There's another option. If you don't want to worry about lots of real URLs, you can also set window.location.hash. That's the hash bit at the end of a URL and add a hash change handler to be told when it changes. This lets you change the URL without needing a real page under the hood. Remember, use push state and a pop state handler that configures your page to keep your users back and forwards buttons doing something sensible. That's back and forwards the standard way. Hey, everyone. Stand here. Give it a try.


2021 is your year it's time you get your first dunk and you can definitely do it by 2021 if you start right now what is good guys welcome back to dunk tip Tuesday every freaking Tuesday we got a new

2021 i want to give my best advice i possibly can it's been over four years since my very first vlog which was how to jump higher my best advice at the time some of those principles hold true some of them i learned there's a lot i wish i knew so let's get into it first things first even if you can't touch the rim i truly believe it's possible you can dunk by the end of the year a year is a long time there's so many things to work on and that is the best case scenario meaning if you're the worst case scenario actually if you can't even jump that well you have bad technique you've never trained you're you don't even know any of your potential at all you can make serious gains just like most of us have experienced beginner gains when it comes to weightlifting there's a lot to be said for jumping whether it's technique using those muscles jumping consistently i want to hammer home the tech the the point real quick that jumping vertical is trainable just like anything else and i say that because when i started my dunk journey i started it because that was the first light bulb that went off because i touched the rim for the first time then i hung on the rim for the first time and i said huh if i stick with this i think i can continue to jump higher and higher and then i got my first dunk and i'm like there's no limits and that's where i'm at now and the journey's taken me all through life about other mental blocks that i've had about what if i i don't think i can do this i don't have proof of this but it's believing in yourself to go for it then you start to realize oh that was just a thought i had so that's how we're starting off 2021 with the mindset do you believe you can dunk this year no matter where you're starting at do you really truly believe it now if you don't here's some tips think about a random day in 2021 maybe it's december 31st the very last day think about landing that first dunk how amazing that would feel right sometimes when you try to do that visualization and think about what it's like to achieve that dunk you realize i can't even visualize it so that's where you need to start the very first goal for you is to be able to visualize yourself succeeding and if you can't because there's times when i couldn't visualize myself landing a specific dunk i couldn't even visualize myself landing a certain dunk so i literally in my mind's eye i thought about okay what about a nine foot six rim a half foot short that i could believe i could see myself doing it then i went every inch in my mind even in because i've been on nine nine rims that are three inches short i thought of those i'm like okay i can do it there even though i hadn't done the dunk there i'm like i can do it i can visualize it it was just my belief it was something i can get myself to believe and then it changed my workouts because when i believed it on the nine nine hoop i started practicing it and then i achieved that one that was the first step so sometimes we're trying to believe in something that is so hard for us to believe we don't even take action now so get a belief about something that is not something you're capable of doing yet and visualize yourself achieving it and that's your first goal so that's what we're gonna do all right so now what do you do one of the biggest questions i get is how do i know if i do strength and speed and the reason i get those questions is those are the two pillars of jumping strength and speed you need to produce power which is the combination of strength and speed and you want to increase both ultimately so i ask myself how do i help somebody figure out whether they're need to work on speed or strength i always go speed first because most people haven't trained jumping so i just went on a whole rant about why i think jumping and the belief and all those different things that jumping and the underlying theme of that was that jumping is completely trainable meaning you can improve that and by knowing that now you're gonna jump a lot more if i told you you can lift weights and get stronger you're gonna lift weights over and over again when it's running you're gonna run over and over again nobody jumps over and over again consistently and measures every detail because it's hard to measure the vertical where you're touching right so that's what i'm saying take a point where you can't touch that half an inch out of your reach right have a test day start today start right now go test your vertical doesn't matter if you're cold doesn't matter if you haven't practiced it's your start day set a goal that's a fraction of an inch higher and just test test and repeat give yourself some rest try some plow metrics try to jump explosively max out days watch my other videos i have a lot of videos on how to max out your speed how to use those plow metrics just start learning about yourself because all the exercises work you just need to start using them so you can understand how you feel so what i mean by that is do you feel strong but slow or do you feel weak but quick a lot of times we have one of the other because if you were super strong and super quick you'd be flying but if you test yourself on the max test yourself on the standstill get started today testing and writing down everything from a standstill jump i want you to be intuitive i don't want you to just follow a program because the programs end you don't know what you did right or wrong that's not going to help you make the next level progress right the only way to get to the elite levels which is i hope you want to be at i don't want you to just get one dunk i want you to be dunking consistently dunking in games dunking with tricks dunking how you ever you want to be and it's a transcendent in your life and the only way that's going to happen is if you take note of it take under understand what you're doing what stimulus you gave your body how many times you jumped what it felt like compare your technique record yourself use the resources that there are on the internet i have a thousand videos for that but work on speed work on the plow metrics explode explode explode because i think you'll be shocked about how much progress you can make pushing yourself and jumping consistently recovering properly and just that alone now if you've been doing that for the more intermediate to advance maybe it's time you hit a strength phase hit a strength phase commit to about three to four months but everybody's body's different that's why i don't like time frames but think about strengthening yourself to a level just like jumping you haven't been at yet so a weight that you can be like wow that's definitely significantly higher maybe it's about 10% to 20% more than you've ever lifted max wise and if you've never maxed now as a strength phase is finally start testing your max do it consistently because the first day you're gonna not you don't have a max you start training do it a couple times a week a month goes by now you're feeling you're in the groove what's the heaviest thing you could lift now that's your baseline so you just took a month even two months to even get your baseline of where you're at because now it's part of your routine once your body gets accumulated accumulated acclimated to strength training now you test your max now you're like okay i'm going to stick in this strength phase until i get significantly stronger than i've ever been because if you just started with the first phase just learning those are just the beginner gains you want to get stronger you want to get stronger than your that your body had that already in it in your body you want to build more strength okay do that for a couple months and then taper off the strength slowly slowly and also gradually to do more power move the weight lighter weight faster faster lighter weight lighter weight faster faster until you're shifting into more of the speed and plyometric again and you just start taking off but whatever happens sometimes you feel like you you took too long in the strength phase you you're only going to know if you do it but for those this is more for those people to get their very first dunk in 2021 start practicing lobs practice on the low rims practice the timing push yourself don't just do low rims try to do inch by inch by inch set these goals that are progress goals towards the final dunk so if you can't dunk 10 feet can you hang on the rim if you can't hang on the rim can you touch the rim if you can't touch the rim how where are you get detailed about where you are now set that first tiny goal and use all aspects of it okay i can't touch the rim but i can touch the backboard or whatever it is whatever it is vertical wise do your stand still do your running do your max approach do your one step approach two step approach then how are you recovering how many days a week can you feel energized is it once every two weeks you feel that bounce how do i get twice every two weeks how do i get twice a week how do i feel bouncy three times a week because if you're feeling bouncy three times a week now you're getting more attempts to make your vertical go higher and push yourself higher than you've ever gone and you're making progress faster because you've learned about your recovery how are you sleeping how are you eating how are you moving your body meaning the movement is the jump days is the recovery days are you getting good blood flow are you treating your body properly are you staying balanced jumping off different plants this is a ton of information i just ranted at you for almost 10 minutes i hope that was helpful but listen that's how much it takes but there's all the resources there you know what to do you want to feel healthy you want to feel strong you want to feel fast okay take note of how you feel in those areas and get to frickin work that's the main thing because if you start right now and you gather all that data for a week's worth of training you you're way ahead than if you just went to jump today think about that all those things i just mentioned okay i'm gonna end it here with a blueprint for you to start training yourself so i want you to have a couple jump days a week maybe two max jump days a week on the other days i want you to take note of your body is there any pain is there any imbalances where one leg was more sore than the others and i also want you to add in a stretch in recovery day i want you to treat recovery more important than the jump days because if you can stay healthy you can continuously train without any setbacks and you're always taking steps forward and even when you you fall or you make a mistake or you get injured it's still a step forward because you learn about something that was off it's not that you did anything wrong it's just there was an imbalance or you over trained but i want you to avoid that so you're gonna learn about your body two jump days a week practice lobs if you have access to a lower end practice that for your finishing but simply set a goal that's a fraction out of an inch higher than you can touch right now so you're gonna start days you're gonna make take a measurement and then go hard to reach it and keep crushing tiny tiny goals and then the mindset is tiny tiny goals believe you're gonna get at this visualize it with journaling all these different techniques which i can go over if you're interested in to visualize and do all these journaling techniques to manifest and really get your self belief strengthened visualize yourself achieving these goals believe it and go hard every single day now focus all your attention on that tiny goal right in front of you crush that if you can do that that's it that's the game you keep making tiny bits of progress you're not trying to make an inch progress you're not trying to go from not touching to dunking you're just going for the fraction of an inch and you can definitely do it by 2021 if you start right now hope that was helpful please leave your questions below please let me know if you get that first dunk nothing makes me happier to see you guys achieve your goals i know what it means it means more than just dunking it means something that you transformed your life you turned a dream into reality and that's what it's about have a good year let's go


What's with the rich kid revolutionaries? By Zachary Yoast, an audio Mises wire narrated by Michael Stack. By now readers are no doubt familiar with the sight of angry mobs smashing windows, looting stores, and harassing pedestrians and street diners around the country, supposedly in the name of advocating for the rights of black Americans. Around the country these mobs are diverse and have diverse motives, ranging from simply wanting to loot and get free stuff to being driven by deeply held ideological beliefs. However, one can't help but notice that in many places a significant number of those causing disturbances are not the subjects of the state oppression in question, but are often white and sometimes even affluent, and as a result are almost completely isolated from the consequences of their destructive sprees. Portland, the site of over a hundred straight days of protests and often violent rioting, seems like the poster child for this phenomenon. Portland is in fact the whitest big city in the U.S. In New York City, the Daily Mail reported on the recent arrest of seven members of the new African Black Panther Party, a revolutionary Maoist group after a rioting spree that caused at least $100,000 in damages. Every one of them appears to be white from their mugshots, and among them are an art director who has done work for Pepsi and Samsung, a model and actress, and the son of famous comic book writers. The New York Post profiled one rioter, 20-year-old Clara Craver, and discovered that her mother runs her own architecture firm, and her father is a psychiatrist who teaches at Columbia University. The family paid $1.8 million in 2016 for their New York City apartment, and also own a home in Connecticut with four fireplaces. Or consider Vicky Osterweil, the white author of the much-discussed book, Indefensive Looting, who is also the daughter of a college professor. As Matt Taibbi reports in his review of the book, there is little evidence the author of Indefensive Looting has ever been outside. She confesses to a personal aversion to violence, lamenting a refusal to attack property that does not lessen the degree to which I benefit from the systems of domination. In Taibbi's words, quote, this is a 288-page book written by a very online person in support of the idea that other people should loot, riot, and burn things in the real world, end quote. Looting by the affluent is not limited to white people either. Consider the case of two non-white attorneys, one of whom received his law degree at Princeton, whose arrest for throwing a Molotov cocktail at a riot in New York City made the headlines precisely because of their high status, well-paying jobs. What all of these examples have in common is that the rioting and destruction, or advocacy for the same, is being perpetrated by people who have no skin in the game and will not be exposed to the long-term consequences for the people and communities that they are ostensibly trying to help. Neighborhoods that suffer through riots often end up economically depressed for decades to come, but people like Clara Craver will not have to worry about such things. In the last century, there's been a great deal of scholarship attempting to discover the roots of these kinds of widespread revolutionary movements. In his book, Liberalism, Ludwig von Mises discusses the idea of a Fourier complex where anti-liberal revolutionary ideas are adopted by people as a means of dealing with their own inadequacy in the face of reality. Political theorist Eric Voglund, who attended Mises Vienna seminars, also posits a similar, although more complex explanation with his theory of Gnosticism. The classically liberal sociologist Helmut Schoek also makes a similar argument in his book, Envy. Envy, Schoek argues, stems from an individual's reaction to a personal inadequacy and a desire to find a way to shift the blame to anyone or anything other than himself. Like Mises and Voglund, Schoek explores the ways in which this attitude is detrimental to society, but he also explores why some people engaged in revolutionary movements are themselves well off and not members of the toiling masses they seek to liberate. In these cases, Schoek argues that such people are not afflicted with envy, but rather with the fear of envy or the guilt of being unequal. He argues that, quote, the guilt-tinged fear of being thought unequal is very deeply ingrained in the human psyche, end quote, and that it can be observed everywhere from offices to schools in the way in which people who excel at something will consciously or unconsciously lower their performance. This phenomenon is unfortunate enough when it comes to the workplace, but when it comes to politics, the consequences can be much more serious. Schoek argues that such guilt may lead a person to forgo their old life in order to serve the less fortunate, but that many times such a person does not seek to extirpate their guilt by leaving their own comfortable station, but rather by insisting that the entire world must join them in eradicating inequality. In his words, quote, I have no doubt that one of the most important motives for joining an egalitarian political movement is this anxious sense of guilt. Let us set up a society where no one is envious, end quote. No doubt even Schoek would be impressed by the degree to which our current upheavals are driven by those racked with the guilt of being unequal rather than those filled with envy itself. To be sure there's no shortage of such envious people running around these days, but there can be no doubt about which group is the driving force. Hopefully as social life slowly returns to normal and as the weather gets colder, the guilt-ridden rich kids will tire out from play acting as revolutionaries and return home. But until then, it seems that the rest of us will be forced to suffer as they work out their psychological problems through some window-smashing therapy.

It is Brett and this 2020 Ford F250 Crew Cab Short Box XLT is stock number 12849Z. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, near New and used heavy-duty truck headquarters. This 2020 Ford F250 Crew Cab XLT has the 6.7 liter power stroke diesel engine, puts out 475 horsepower, 1,050 foot-pounds of torque. This truck has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off and this truck is 100% ready to go. We're going to go all the way around in this video, inside, underneath, start it up and take a look under the hood. Oxford White is the color and we shoot all of our videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it is your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person.

Click that and then click the bell notifications and you'll get updates on the videos we do each and every day on YouTube. It comes with the 18-inch chrome dalloway rims and it has Goodyear Wrangler LT 27570 R18 tires and these tires look like they have probably about, I'd say, 70 to 80% of the tread left on them. Frame and underbody is in very nice clean condition. This is a one-owner clean title history vehicle out of Missouri. Front fender is in excellent shape. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. Headlight lenses are nice and clear and it does come with the factory fog lights, the chrome tow hooks and the front bumpers in excellent shape. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. Chrome trimmed grille and the hood is in very nice condition as well. No dents or dings on that. As you come around to the passenger side, passenger side front fender, no dents or dings on that and the passenger side rim no scuffs or scrapes. Now as you go down this side of this 2020 Ford F-250 crew cab short box, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle you can see the truck, hear the truck and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. Back tires have just as much tread as the front tires and the frame and underbody is exceptionally clean on this truck, which you would expect on a 2020. It's like that all the way underneath has all the remaining factor exhaust and the lower rockers all look good and it comes with the very nice factory chrome step bars. You also get the chrome tipped exhaust which looks really good and coming around to the back rear bumper is absolutely perfect, no dents or dings on that. You do get the backup parking sensors, full towing package which includes a receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring and the tailgate is in fantastic condition as well. The bed looks like it's hardly ever been used, has the fifth wheel and gooseneck prep package, you get four pin and seven pin wiring back here, you also get the LED bed lighting which turns on those LED lights on the bottom and up top. Notice up there you get the cargo cam as well, so we'll check that out when we get inside the truck, but just look how clean that bed is, very, very nice. Also get the side box tie downs and as you go down the driver's side just as clean as that passenger side, no dents or dings on the box and for full disclosure this back rim is in fantastic condition as well, no scuffs or scrapes. Going down the rest of this side of the truck, the cab and the doors all look really good. It does have the driver's side door code entry, we do have the code for this truck and if you ever wanted to find out what your code is for your 17 to 22 super duties in the upper right hand part of the screen I have a video showing you how to find that on your own personal truck so click that and check us out there. It has the blind spot monitoring, built-in directional signals, these mirrors I would assume are the power scope mirrors, they power fold in, power telescope out, I'll show you how those work in a second. Inside the XLT package gives you the gray cloth interior, no rips, no tears, this truck's never been smoked in, power driver's seat, factory floor mats, these front seats are heated as well, power pedals, auto headlamps, that's for your fog lights, tilt telescopic steering wheel, there's LED side lights on those mirrors, power windows, power locks and power mirrors up here as well as those power folding mirrors. Now it's like showing both sides so that you know that both sides are working properly and then they do telescope out so you can see they power telescope out and in and once again both sides working nicely. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio and everything that this truck has to offer on the interior. You can see that this truck only has 6,890 miles, you do get a digital speedometer, compass display, instrument cluster is very nice and clean, you get cruise controls and information center controls on the left and Bluetooth and audio controls on the right. This one comes with the 10 speed automatic transmission with the optional tap shift, this was the first year of the 10 speed with the power stroke diesel. This one has the sync 8 inch touchscreen radio, you can see it does have the factory navigation system and you get AM, FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities on here as well as Bluetooth capabilities and then you do get the forward pass connect and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can project your cell phone to the screen through those programs. So you do get factory exhaust brakes, stability control, downhill assist control, lane departure warning and then you get your cargo cam right there. This is also where your backup camera is going to show up and you can zoom in on your receiver hitch when the vehicle is actually turned on but you can get hooked up to your boat camper or trailer the first time every time.  It does come with a 12 volt power point, 110 volt, 400 watt max plug-in, a USB, USB-C and you get two cup holders and my magic trick is now you have four cup holders, now you have two. So that's the magic trick. Passengers side glove boxes and passenger side seat and floor mat are in excellent condition. Once again, this truck's never been smoked in. Headliner is absolutely perfect and you do get map lights up there. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. The back seats are just as clean as the front seats, no rips or tears back here. It does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have. Power sliding rear, I'm sorry, fixed glass rear window with the built-in rear defrost. Seats are in excellent shape, formats and carpeting are very clean. You do get a USB, USB-C, 110 volt, 400 watt plug-in back here and then another 12 J power point. These seats do fold up. There's a collapsible storage container under there. They do fold back down like so, side curtain airbags and you do get child safety locks on the back doors as well and the bottoms of the doors of this truck all look very, very good.

This study found that placenta cryo extract had a protective effect against liver damage caused by tetrachloromethane and ethanol. This protection was stronger in female rats than in males, suggesting that estrogen may play a role in this process. This article was authored by MoCHYZH, Iviko Shurba, M. M. Marchenko, and others.


A very good evening aspirants, welcome to the Hindu newspaper analysis by Shankarayas Academy for the date 7th of October 2021. So before getting into the news article discussion, let us take a moment and congratulate all the 360 plus candidates who have cleared UPSC civil services examination 2020 from our academy. Congratulations on your well deserved success, you made it and with this positive note now let us move on to the news article discussion. First let us discuss about an article regarding the malaria and followed by that we will be discussing about an opad article about WTO and followed by that we will be seeing about three important prelims oriented topics and we will end our discussion by discussing about three important preliminary practice questions. So without wasting much time now let us move on to the first news article discussion. Now look at this article, this article is about the anti-malarial vaccination. See yesterday the World Health Organization that is the WHO adopted the first anti-malarial vaccination which marked a significant milestone in mankind's decades long war with the mosquito that is the carrier of the disease and as per sources the masquericks is a Malarian vaccine which is approved by the WHO and this malaria vaccine is based on recombinant proteins and this vaccine is approved by the WHO for use in children's in sub Sahara Africa and other areas where Plasmodium, Phalziparam, Malaria transmission is moderate to high and very important point to note here is that the World Health Organization's recommendation was based on the result from an ongoing pilot program in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi. So this is the crux of the news article. So with this basic knowledge in mind now let us see some of the important points that you have to remember about malaria we will see how the malaria disease gets transmitted and we will see the life cycle of the Plasmodium. See some of the human disease are caused by protozoans too and what is a protozoa first? See protozoa are microscopic unicellular eukaryotes that have a relatively complex internal structure and carry out complex metabolic activities. See all life on earth consist of either eukaryotic cell or prokaryotic cell and it is said that prokaryotes were the first form of life. Now what is the difference between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells? See the primary distinction between these two types of organism is that eukaryotic cell have a membrane bound nucleus and prokaryotic cell do not have that. I hope you remember the nucleus is where eukaryotes store their genetic information and in prokaryotes DNA is bundled together in the nuclear region but it is not stored within a membrane bound nucleus. To put it in simple words remember prokaryotes do not have a defined nucleus because it lacks a membrane bound nucleus. So this is the very basic distinction between these two types of organism and some of the other important distinction between these two organism are given below please go through it and some of the examples also have been provided here in this table you can go through it so that you can get better idea about the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. So now coming back protozoans are microscopic unicellular eukaryotes that have a relatively complex internet structure and carry out complex metabolic activities. So these protozoans can also cause diseases in human and most important thing you have to note here is that all parasitic protozoa require performed organic substances that is their nutrition is holozoic as in higher animals. To put it in simple words they feed on the host. So all the parasitic protozoans feed on the host have this in mind if you understand this it will be easier for you to understand how the protozoa cause a disease in humans. See you might have heard about malaria I believe and it is a disease for which man has been fighting since many years and plasmodium it is a tiny protozoan which is responsible for this disease. See different species of plasmodium are responsible for different types of malaria for example there are plasmodium like plasmodium vivax, plasmodium malaria and plasmodium falciparum. So there are different types of malaria caused by different species of plasmodium. What is a plasmodium?  So coming back of the above mentioned different types of plasmodium malignant malaria caused by plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal. Keep this in mind and you can go through this table to further understand about the distinction between different plasmodiums. Now let us quickly take a glance at the life cycle of plasmodium. See plasmodium enters the human body as sporozoids that is they enter the human body as a infectious form. Now how do they enter the human body? They enter human body through the bite of infected female anaphyllus mosquito. What happens next? The parasite initially multiplies within the liver cells and then attack the red blood cells that is the RBCs and finally they will result in the rupture of RBC and this rupture of RBC is associated with release of a toxic substance called haemazoin and this toxic substance is responsible for the chill and high fever recurring every 3 to 4 days. See when a female anaphyllus mosquito bites an infected person these parasites enter the mosquitoes body and undergo further development. The parasites multiply within them to form sporozoids that are stored in their salivary gland and when these mosquitoes bite a human the sporozoids are introduced into his or her body thereby initiating the events mentioned above. So this is how the cycle gets completed and it keeps on spreading and the very interesting fact to note is that Malarial parasite requires two hosts that is it requires human and mosquito to complete its life cycle and the female anaphyllus mosquito is the vector which acts as a transmitting agent. See why should we discuss about malaria to this extent? What is the purpose? See Plasmodium vivax is very common in America continent and Plasmodium falciparum is common in rest of the world especially in Africa, South East Asia and Western Pacific and malaria is the disease that killed more than 260,000 African children under the age of 5 annually. Talking about the serious malaria effects in children see the children with severe malaria frequently develop one or more of the following symptoms like severe anemia, respiratory distress or cerebral malaria. In adults also multi-organ failure is also frequent. Here you have to note that anemia means a condition in which there is a deficiency of red cells or deficiency of hemoglobin in the blood. Pneumological malaria is a neurological complication characterized by coma and asexual forms of the parasite on peripheral blood smears. Keeping these serious impacts caused by malaria, WHO organized a pilot program in Ghana, Kenya and Malawi and now the World Health Organization has recommended that children in Sub Sahara Africa and other places with moderate to high Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission can receive the most curious malaria vaccine which is a recombinant protein based malaria vaccine. If you remember we already saw Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal. So this recommendation is a boon in times of difficulties especially when it comes to African continent. So with this we came to the end of this news article discussion. In this news article discussion we saw about eukaryotes and prokaryotic organisms. We saw what are the distinction between these two organisms. We saw some of the examples also and we saw what are the types of Plasmodium that causes different types of malaria and we also saw why this recommendation is very important. So with these important points in mind now let us move on to the next news article. Now look at this open article see the 12th ministerial conference of the WTO is about to take place this year between 30th November to 3rd December 2021 in Geneva, Switzerland and this particular editorial is written in that background. So in this article the author talks about the present existential crisis that is faced by the WTO and on that line he puts forward 5 major challenges that lay ahead of WTO and these 5 major challenges needs immediate address. So this is the ultimate crux of the editorial here. So in this discussion let us see about the above mentioned 5 major challenges that lay ahead of the WTO. The syllabus covered by this open article is given below for your reference. Now moving on to the article the first and foremost comes the challenges posed by the United States that is the US has begun to lose its interest in the WTO. This is because the US feels that the WTO hasn't served the American national interest or to put it in simple words the US feels that WTO is supporting China more because of which it fails to stem China's rise. That is the US believes that the World Trade Organization favors China more and as a result it is unable to hinder China's rise. Likewise it also has a feeling that WTO is regularly indicating or it is regularly accusing the US in several trade disputes. So this is the first challenge that the author tries to convey that is the US has begun to lose its interest in the WTO as it feels that the WTO favors China more and as a result US is unable to hinder China's rise. See when a country like US which is a superpower loses interest on trade organizations like WTO then there will be a major change in the geopolitics. So this is what the first challenge conveyed by the author here. Now moving on to the second challenge second comes the issue of public stock holding for food security purposes. See public stock holding program are used by some countries to purchase stockpile and distribute food to people in need right. Even WTO allows these programs but if these stockpiling programs involve purchasing from farmers at prices fixed by the government say like the minimum support price which is practiced in India then they are considered to deteriorate trade and are subjected to an overall cap. Here you have to make a note of one thing WTO allows public stock holding programs and it allows government to purchase stockpile and distribute food to people in need. But if the stock holding program itself involve purchases from farmers at prices fixed by the government then they are considered to deteriorate trade and are subjected to an overall cap. When you take India there are high chances for it to breach this cap because we need to do higher procurement to support farmers and provide food to the poor at subsidized price. So this becomes a concern. Even though a clear mandate to find a solution was done in 2015 Nairobi ministerial meeting still no solution has been found in this regard. Therefore this needs address and this is the second challenge that the author tries to convey here and especially when it comes to India we need to do higher procurements to support farmers and provide food to the poor at subsidized price. But when an overall cap is placed on those procurements then there is an issue. The third challenge is the trade related aspects of intellectual property rights is abbreviated as TRIPS. If you remember last year India and South Africa proposed a TRIPS waiver for increasing the accessibility of COVID-19 medical products including vaccines but till now there exist a disagreement among the WTO member countries on the need of doing it. So it would be really good if it adopts a waiver in the upcoming ministerial meeting. The fourth online comes the WTO signing of a deal on the regulation of irrational fishing subsidies. See these irrational fishing subsidies provided for fishing that has led to the over exploitation of marine resources by countries like China which is the largest catcher and exporter of fish. See the problem here is that a lot of lives are being involved in this process so therefore instead of merely signing the deal this agreement should strike a balance between conserving ocean resources and the livelihood concerns of millions of marginal fishermen. And apart from this an effective special and differential treatment provisions should be accorded in order to provide an adequate policy space. Is something countries like India and other developing countries should insist on this ministerial meeting and finally comes the emergence of MEHA plurilateral trade agreements. Say like that of the comprehensive and progressive agreement for trans-specific partnership and regional comprehensive economic partnership. See the problem here is that these plurilateral agreements are likely to cause fragmentation in the global governance of international trade. So this is the final challenge and this has to be addressed in the ministerial meeting which is about to be held. So these are the challenges that lie in front of the WTO at present. Therefore to conclude the upcoming WTO ministerial meeting which is scheduled for next month in January actually provides an opportunity for the WTO to receive a solution to the above problem and make things less complicated. So in this discussion we saw about WTO's 12th ministerial conference which is about to be held this year between 30th November to 3rd December 2021. So in this open article the author has talked about five major challenges that lay ahead of WTO which needs immediate address. So the first and foremost comes the challenge posed by the United States. United States has begun to lose its interest in the WTO and WTO is in its high time to prove that it is an organization of neutralism. And second comes the issue of public stockholding for food security purposes. The caps on subsidies should be relaxed so that countries like India and other developing countries can help and support farmers and provide food to the poor at subsidized price. And the third comes the TRIPS agreement. A waiver for increasing the accessibility of COVID-19 medicinal products including vaccines should be adopted in the upcoming ministerial meeting. And the fourth online comes the WTO signing of a deal on the regulation of the irrational phishing subsidies. This agreement should strike a balance between conserving ocean resources and the livelihood concerns of millions of marginal fishermen. And finally comes the emergence of MEHA plurilateral trade agreements as they are likely to cause fragmentation in the global governance of international trade. It should be addressed in the upcoming ministerial meeting. So these are some of the important points that we have learned from this open article. Now let us move on to the next news article. Now look at this article. See Telangana earlier had come to the Supreme Court complaining that it had been unjustly denied an equitable allocation of the Krishna water. And it had made the center and the riparian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra respondents. In its plea Telangana had complained to the Supreme Court that it had written a letter to the center in 2014 to constitute a tribunal under section 3 of the Interstate River Water Dispute Act of 1956 to adjuricate the issue. Basically a tribunal wasn't set up. So Telangana approached the Supreme Court. But now Telangana has withdrawn the plea based on center's assurance to set up a tribunal. So in this context, let us see some of the important facts about Krishna River. It will be very helpful for your preliminary examination. See the river Krishna is an interstate river in southern India. And it is the second largest river in Penunsula, India. Also it is the fourth biggest river in terms of water inflows and river basin area in India after the Ganga, Godavari and Brahmabutra. Note that the river is also called Krishnaveini and it rises in the western guard at an altitude of 1337 meters. It rises in western guards near Mahabaleshwar in Maharashtra state and it flows across the whole width of the Peninsula from west to east. So as you can see it flow eastwards and drain into the Bay of Bengal. It flows through Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. And see the basin is roughly triangle in shape and it is bounded by Balgat range on the north by the eastern guards on the south and the east and by the western guards on the west. See its principal tributaries joining from right or Gatprabha, Malprabha, Koyna, Venna, Varna, Panch Ganga, Duth Ganga and Thungabhatra. Whereas Bhima, Musi and Munneru or principal tributaries joining Krishna from left. So far we saw about Krishna river talking about its origin. It originates or it rises in the western guards at an altitude of 1337 meter near Mahabaleshwar in Maharashtra state. It flow eastwards and drains into the Bay of Bengal. And it flows through four states Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. See the Krishna river is an interstate river in southern India and it is the second largest river in Peninsular India. And it is the fourth biggest river in terms of water in flow and river basin area in India after the Ganga, Godavari and Brahmaputra. See as we already saw Krishna river is a east flowing river and it forms delta at the mouth of the river. See this is unique and something you have to note because most of the west flowing rivers do not form delta in India. See the reason behind this is rivers form delta when the flow or the speed of the river water slows to the extent such that the silt it carries gets heavier and the water cannot carry it forward to the sea. And that is where delta is formed and when you see the west flowing rivers they do not form delta. As the slope of the western guards is steep and that is the reason that these rivers have a rapid flow. When there is a rapid flow, the silt is carried forward to the sea and the condition do not allow the formation of delta. So this is the reason why the west flowing rivers do not form delta in India. Now coming to the Krishna river, the Krishna river has a large and high fertile delta continuous with that of the Godavari river to the northeast. Now moving on some of the important dams are highlighted in this map. Here know that the longest dam in the basin is Narayanapura dam on Gatprabha river in Belgam district of Karnataka with a total length of 10.64 kilometer. The most important is the Naharjuna Sahar dam. It is the world's largest masonry dam located in Andhra Pradesh-Telangana border. Other important dams are Almati dam in Karnataka, Sri Sailam dam in Andhra Pradesh and Thungabhatra dam in Karnataka. See the Krishna basin is said to possess rich mineral deposits which create a good potential for industrial development. Importantly, iron and steel, cement, sugar can, vegetable oil extraction and rice milling or some of the important industrial activities are present in the basin and the major urban cities in the basin are Pune and Hyderabad. See these points will help you in eliminating an option in the preliminary examination. So, make a note of it and this is all you have to know about the river. So, in this discussion, we saw about Krishna river, its origin and we saw about the boundaries and we saw some of the principal tributaries of Krishna river. We saw the reason why delta is not formed in west flowing rivers and we also saw some of the important dams on the Krishna river. So, with these important points in mind, now let us move on to the next news article. Now, let us take up this news article for our next discussion. See, Taiwan has been in news repeatedly now. China has sent record number of military jets into Taiwan airspace. Western countries in turn flexed their military muscle of the Japanese coast in support of Taiwan. So, in this part of discussion, we'll understand the issue in detail. Let's start with the geography of Taiwan Strait. See, Taiwan Strait is also called the Formosa Strait. The Strait was named Formosa, meaning beautiful by Portuguese navigators in the late 16th century. Although it is still known in the west by its European name and now most westerners use the name Taiwan Strait. As you can see from the map, Taiwan Strait is located in one of the contentious areas of the east in the vicinity of South China Sea, parcel islands and the Nine Dash Line. See, this Strait is the connection between South China Sea and East China Sea and it lies between the People's Republic of China or China and Taiwan. See, Taiwan is commonly called the Republic of China. Pay attention to the differences in name here and its south lies the Bashi Canal. Note this, Bashi Canal separates Taiwan from the Philippines. So, the Taiwan Strait is located in one of the contentious areas of the east in the vicinity of South China Sea, parcel islands and the Nine Dash Line. The Strait acts as a connection between South China Sea and the East China Sea and it lies between the People's Republic of China or China and Taiwan. And important point to note here is that Taiwan is commonly called the Republic of China and to the south lies the Bashi Canal and note this, Bashi Canal separates Taiwan from the Philippines. And also remember that topic of cancer process through it and with that geographical information now let us understand the tensions in the area. See, the Taiwan Strait has three major crisis tracing its origin to the Chinese Civil War that ended in 1949 and US policy towards East Asia in the early Cold War contributed to further tensions in the Taiwan Strait. See, the China claims Taiwan to be a part of its own territory whereas Taiwan and the West considers Taiwan as a separate entity with a democratic government. Although they consider it so, US still date has no official ties with Taiwan. In fact, the United Nations doesn't recognize Taiwan. Now looking at the crisis, see problems between China and Taiwan is always breathing. That is, it is creating a situation that causes difficulty and Taiwan is a loose entity which may or may not be a part of China. That is the issue here. See, the first and second Taiwan crisis were armed conflict in 1950s between China and Taiwan. The third crisis took place in 1990s to be precise in 1996 around the election time of Taiwan. See, the China sensed that Taiwan might vote in favor of a democratic party. We know China is communist and the communist in power in Taiwan would be in its favor, right? So, seeing the popular trend in favor of democracy feeling threatened, the People's Republic of China or China flexed its army muscle in the stride. And when this was happening, it was reciprocated by US in support of Taiwan and the third crisis ended. Since then, various issues have flared up like what happened recently making experts predict a fourth crisis. So, in a nutshell, the issue is this. Taiwan wants to be separate from China because it has democratic colors. In fact, it has its own constitution, elected leaders, and it even has three lakh troops of its own. And the separate entity status have been widely supported by the West. But China claims self-governing Taiwan assets own territory. This is the reason for the recent standoff in the stride. So, with this, we came to the end of this news article discussion. So, in this news article discussion, we saw about Taiwan's stride, its geographical position, and we understood that tensions prevailing in the area. We saw about the third crisis took place in 1990s. And to be precise, it took place in 1996 around the election time of Taiwan. And we also discussed about the reason for recent standoff in the stride. So, with this, we came to the end of this news article discussion. Now, let us move on to next news article. Now, look at this news article. See, recently, an analysis has been conducted by CEEW, that is the Council on Energy, Environment, and Water. See, the Council is a research body and it is a Delhi-based, not-for-profit policy research institution. So, what it did was, it looked at five of the most reliable data sources. According to that, UP has emerged as the largest emitter of particulate matter 2.5 and the highest emissions from UP were largely due to a significant share of PEM 2.5 emissions from solid fuel use in households. This is a very important point to note, because the high emission level is due to the share of PEM 2.5 emission from solid fuel use in households. The households are responsible here and we know UP is India's most populous state and it has a higher proportion of households and they also rely on this form of fuel leading them to emit more of it. So, this is the problem here and another notable finding is that, see the body collected data from five different sources. For any given parameter, the data collected showed high variability. Understand this, say for example, one source says the amount of PEM 2.5 emitter is 100, but another source said that PEM 2.5 emitter is 125. This significant variability has underlined the need to maintain a comprehensive database on these pollution level in air. So, an analysis was conducted by Council on Energy, Environment and Water. It is a council. This council is a research body and it is a daily based not-for-profit policy research institution. And for its analysis, it took five most reliable data sources and according to that, UP has emerged as the largest emitter of particulate matter 2.5. This emission is mainly due to the solid fuel used in households. We know UP is India's most populous state and higher proportion of households are relying on this form of fuel, which is further leading to emit more of particulate matter 2.5. Apart from this, the study also shows that different sources showed high variability. So, this significant variability has underlined the need to maintain a comprehensive database on these pollution level in the air. Now, moving on, the news article also talks about the National Clean Air Campaign, NCAP. We'll also quickly learn about it. See, NCAP was launched by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in 2019. It is the first ever effort in the country to frame a national framework for air quality management with a time-bound reduction target. See, it seeks to achieve 20% to 30% reduction in particulate matter concentration by 2024. Basically, it seeks to cut the concentration of cores, that is the particulate matter of diameter 10 micrometre or less, or PM10 and fine particles, that is the particulate matter of diameter 2.5 micrometre or less or PM2.5 by at least 20% in the next five years. And it uses 2017 as the base year for comparison. See, basically the plan includes one, 22 non-attainment cities. And what are these non-attainment cities? These cities are those that have fallen short of the national ambient air quality standards for over five years. These cities are spread across 23 states and union territories and these cities were identified by the Central Pollution Control Board. So, these are some of the important points that you have to remember. In the last part of the discussion, we saw about national clean air campaign, that is NCAP, which was launched by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in 2019. And we saw some of the important time-bound reduction targets, which we have to keep in mind. So, with these important points in mind, now let us move on to the next segment of the news article discussion. That is, we shall discuss some of the preliminary practice questions. Now, look at this first question. This question is about river Krishna. Consider the following states. First one is Maharashtra, second one is Telangana, third one is Karnataka, fourth one is Tamil Nadu and fifth one is Andhra Pradesh, which of the above states formed the drainage basin of river Krishna. So, this is the question. And from our discussion itself, you can infer that option B is the correct answer. River Krishna does not flow through Tamil Nadu. Even it is a peninsula river that is even it is second largest peninsula river that flows in the southern India. It does not flows through Tamil Nadu. So, the correct answer for the question is option B, 1, 2, 3 and 5, 1D. Now, moving on to the next question. See this question. See you have to arrange the following geographical location from north to south. First is Philippines, second one is Taiwan Strait and the third one is East China Sea. You have to select the correct answer by using the code given below. Option A, 1, 2, 3, option B, 2, 1, 3, option C, 3, 2, 1 and option D, 3, 1, 2. See from the discussion, we know that correct answer is option C. Now, have a look at this map for the arrangement of the geographical features. The Taiwan Strait connects the east and south China Sea. So, the east China Sea is northmost. Then the Strait comes and then the Philippines. You can see that in the map here. So, the correct answer for the question is option C, 3, 2, 1. Now, moving on to the next question. This question is with reference to national clean air campaign. Consider the following statements. First statement, it has time-bound reduction target for air quality management. Second statement, plan includes 122 non-attainment cities identified by Central Pollution Control Board. See this campaign aims to cut the particulate matter in air by 20 to 30 percentage in air by 2024. It has 2017 as the base year for comparison. So, statement one is correct. That is, the campaign has a time-bound reduction target for air quality management. From our discussion, we know that statement two is also correct. The plan includes 122 non-attainment cities identified by Central Pollution Control Board. So, the correct answer for the question is option C, both 1 and 2. Main questions are displayed here. Interested aspirants can write answer and post it in the comment section. So, with this, we came to the end of the news article discussion.
