The First Minister has been contacted by several people who have therefore become eligible for the booster and were able to book online to receive it, who were then turned away at the vaccination centre. That simply means that we have wasted slots and shots and that we will have to hope gyda'r gwreidwyr.

Thank you, and I call Rachel Hamilton. Presiding Officer, public bodies are responsible for around £17 billion of public spending, and therefore it is important that we get public appointments right. I neither speak for or against the motion today. I rise to share my concerns regarding the reappointment for Scottish land commissioners. Whilst I acknowledge that the net zero committee recommended approval of the reappointments, I want to remind members that the role of the Land Commission is to stimulate fresh thinking and change how we, as a nation, own and use land. Fresh thinking and attracting a new pool of talent on boards in Scotland is lacking. Stephen Boyle Auditor General for Scotland said in July 2021, I referred to our audit work and evidence which confirms that board members have a strong bearing on the effectiveness of the governance of public bodies and organisational performance. I also highlighted the issue of equality and diversity and that, in my view, wider representation on boards should help to progress towards a fairer and more equal society. The Scottish Government should consider that continuity does not bring change, and the habitual practice of drawing from the same pool does not send a positive message. It does not attract new and fresh faces. It does not attract applicants from protected groups, including more women, disabled groups, young people and ethnic minorities. Furthermore, public bodies require progressive skills and knowledge to keep pace and technology and deliver on climate change targets. Therefore, I would ask if the Scottish Government believes that culture of continuity is healthy and whether the minister is confident that those reappointments seek to bring the diverse representation that we seek. Thank you. The question on this motion will be put at decision time. The next item of business is consideration of business motion 2345 in the name of George Adam on behalf of the parliamentary bureau setting out a business programme. Thank you minister. No member has asked to speak on the motion. The question is that motion 2345 be agreed. Are we all agreed? The motion is therefore agreed. The next item of business is consideration of business motions 2348 on a stage 1 timetable for a bill and 2349 on a stage 2 timetable for a bill, and I ask any member who wishes to speak against the motions to press their request to speak button. I call on George Adam on behalf of the parliamentary bureau to move the motions. Thank you. No member has asked to speak against the motions. Therefore, the question is that motions 2348 and 2349 be agreed. Are we all agreed? The motions are therefore agreed. The next item of business is consideration of four parliamentary bureau motions, and I ask George Adam on behalf of the parliamentary bureau to move motions 2346 and 2347 on approval of SSIs, 2350 on office of the clerk, 2351 on suspension and variation of standing orders and 2352 on committee membership. Thank you, Presiding Officer, and all moved. Thank you. The question on these motions will be put at decision time. There are seven questions to be put as a result of today's business. The first is the amendment 2327.2 in the name of Humza Yousaf, which seeks to amend motion 2327 in the name of Anna Sarwar on protecting patient safety at the Queen Elizabeth University hospital be agreed. Are we all agreed? The Parliament is not agreed. Therefore, we will move to vote, and there will be a short suspension to allow members to access the digital voting system.


Hi, this is Kevin from BCH. Today we're going to make a refillable cartridge from HP integrated cartridge that has a square shape. The integrated cartridges are the cartridges that has a printhead on the bottom and an electronic ribbon on the side. HP makes two kinds of desktop integrated cartridges.  I mean, it's not a perfect square, but it's more squarely than a very long rectangle one. Most of the integrated cartridges are square ones, such as 21, 56, 61, 62, 63. Most of the time, they are square. This is what looks inside HP cartridge. If we have a starter or regular cartridge, there is an interior wall to hold a tiny sponge. This will limit how much ink we can refill. The XL cartridge doesn't have this wall and has a larger sponge. However, the sponge takes about half of the available space inside the cartridge. In this video, we're going to remove the wall, the sponge, and glue a special cover with a pressure regulator, and thus make a sponge-less refillable cartridge. Let's go over what we need. We need some sandpaper and 100 grade or 150 grade. Personally, I like 150 grade, but because I like so much, we just run out of it. And we need a heavy-duty utility knife. And do not use those flimsy office knives and get a really sturdy utility knife. And then we'll need some rubber bands. And two is enough. And after that, we need super glue. Do not use those foam superglues, such as Gorilla White. If you decide to use Gorilla Glue, use the Gorilla Clear or Gorilla Brown. When picking a glue, we'll make sure it's waterproof. Then we'll check it's tech-free and the cure time. For example, the Gorilla Clear glue is foam-free, 2 hours tech-free, and 24 hours cure. Therefore, we probably will leave it at least 12 hours before using the product. And if we use a superglue, superglue normally is 12 seconds set time. And we'll leave it at least 12 hours for the cure. And lastly, we need a long-nose plier. The special cover can be found at bchtechnologies.com. I'll go to ModKit, and you want to select for HP. And then you can find this ModKit for making spongeless cartridge. And HP square means it's a squared kind of HP. There are two parts of the cartridge that need to be protected. One is the pre-knit on the bottom of a cartridge, which needs to be protected from dirt and debris. Another one is the electronic ribbon, which needs to be protected from the overflow of a superglue. We can use a piece of surround wrap or clear tape to do the job. Caution, if we use a piece of clear tape, like what we're doing now, it'll be important to apply the non-sticky side towards the printhead. Otherwise, if the printhead comes in contact with the glue on the tape, the printhead may be damaged permanently. So we put the first piece of tape with the glue set towards us on the base. Then after that, we'll use two more pieces of clear tape to secure the protective piece to the cartridge body. As we wrap one piece around the bottom and one piece around the side, we'll next use a utility knife to cut the top. This step involves a sharp knife, so we must be careful. Starting from the edge, we use the edge as a pivot and push the knife up and down. Once the edge is open, we'll work on the other edges. Combine the cutting with a little bit of prying. Once all the edges are loosened, the cap can be taken off and exposed to sponge inside. Important, write down the color sequence of the cartridge. HP makes the same cartridge with the different color arrangements now. And your cover's color-coded plug may be different than the cartridge. We need to match the cover with the cartridge. We won't take the sponge out yet because we need the sponge to protect the printhead from dirt and debris from this step. We'll use a 150-grade sandpaper to sand the top of the cartridge evenly and smoothly. We'll then use a knife to remove the high-end debris because we have to glue a top that's airtight.  And here you can see there are still some shining part on the right and the left. So the cartridge is now sanded evenly. This is what the final result should look like. You may ask what to do with those internal walls. So we use a long-nose plier to remove those four walls inside. We don't have to remove the walls completely. It'll work as long as the ink can flow freely inside the chamber. Also, be careful to not break or penetrate the filter by the square filter on the bottom. We'll now wipe or blow out the debris on the top of the cartridge again. After removing the sponge, we suggest cleaning the inside of the cartridge. We can use compressed air or distilled water or tap water. If we see dried ink on the filter, it is a good time to put it under running water and watch it until the filter is clean. After the top is dry, we'll try to fit the cover on the cartridge. We'll do it again and again until we can insert the cover in one take. Remember, you only got one shot to make it this perfect, and it has to be airtight. So practice and practice. Practice until you can do this, even your sleepwalking. Now is the crunch time. Look at the rubber band handy, and then we're going to attach the top of the superglue. Because we want to seal each compartment airtight, and the inside dividing walls, which are dividing the three colors, those walls are really thin. So we can add a little bit of a superglue to the inner grooves of the cover. So we add some horizontally and some little bit more vertically, form a T shape. We'll apply a generous amount of superglue on the rim of the cartridge. Then the thin dividing wall between the compartments. Make sure you wear eye protection while doing this. Hold your breath while doing this. Perfect. Wrap it tight as you can. Then we'll leave the cartridge to cure, according to the glue curing time. For superglue, we're going to cure about two or three hours. After double checking the color arrangements, we'll add ink until each compartment is full. Then we'll insert plugs to seal the top. I want to talk a little bit about unclogging. After we put the cartridge back to the printer, if the printer is working, but the printout is blank or has straps, then the printhead is clogged. Traditionally, we can put the cartridge on our priming clip, like this one.  We should have seen more inks coming out. So this cartridge is blocked really, really bad. The second way of unclogging is we have a piece of white paper towel. Then we wrap around the cartridge with a vacuum cleaner.  For spongeless cartridges, we now have a new way of unclogging, because all the color chambers are sealed airtight. If we did right, we can blow air into the air hole and push the ink out from the top. This method is easy and effective for minor clocks. However, for the clocks like this big, which the printhead is clogged rock solid, the air pressure is not going to work, because it will either create an ink backflow or maybe it will blow out the refill plug. Therefore, only use this method if you have a minor clog. Also, you might want to release the pressure inside the cartridge after blowing air by remove and reinsert the refill plug. If we have a clog this big, we should fill up both with a quarter inch or half inch of water and soak the cartridge for 20 minutes or to an hour.  And then if the result is not desirable, just repeat it. So you get a major clogs removed. Then you can fine tune it with the air blowing technique. This is what it should look like. So we blow air to the air hole.   Then we remove and reinsert the refill plug. So the excessive air can be released. We'll clean the electronic ribbon and then insert the cartridge into the printer. And then do a printhead cleaning using the printer's function. The refill cartridge will not show the new ink level. The printer should work until the printer thinks the ink is depleted. We'll simply click the OK button to acknowledge the ink depletion and keep using the printer. The printer should work forever now. We'll pay attention to the printout. If a color is fading, we'll take the cartridge out and add more ink. If the cartridge is printing in stripes, we'll take the cartridge out and unclog it using our three methods that we showed. For all the warning messages like low on ink or ink depletion, and just click OK to bypass it, we just made the HP cartridge great again. I hope you enjoyed this video. Visit us at bchtechnologies.com or locally at Greensboro, North Carolina. Thank you for watching. Enjoy printing. Cheers.

A very good evening aspirants, welcome to the Hindu newspaper analysis brought to you by Shankar Reyes Academy for the date 28th of November 2021. We have taken four articles today for a discussion, we will see them one by one. Before that I will give you a brief about what we are going to discuss today. The first article is about Judiciary. In that discussion we will see what is the role of Judiciary and we will understand the salient feature of Indian constitution which is independent and integrated Judiciary. We will understand separately what does it mean to have independent Judiciary and what does it mean to have integrated Judiciary. And finally we will end the discussion with some of the provisions which ensures independence of Indian Judiciary. Moving on, the second article it is a FAQ article, it is about economically weaker section. So in that discussion we will see the Constitutional Amendment Act which brought the reservation for the EWS and we will see the eligibility criteria of EWS. And finally we will see why the government is thinking about revisiting the eligibility criteria. And moving on, the third article is about Interpol. In that we will cover the operation conducted by Interpol which is HE2 and we will cover some of the basic details such as cybercrime and I will give you a brief about the Interpol organization also. And the last article is about TRIPS. It is an important and comprehensive agreement of the World Trade Organization. In that discussion we will see what is intellectual property rights and we will see extensively about the TRIPS agreement also. Before going into the discussion I have a tip for you, have a syllabus, have a copy of syllabus in your hand so that you can categorize the articles given here under the sections of syllabus. I have also given the syllabus related to the articles but it is always better for you to categorize them yourself. It is quite often easy to deviate from the right path in the course of UPSC preparation. What makes you stay in the right path is knowing your syllabus back to back. So this practice of categorizing the articles daily will help you understand the syllabus better. So, let us take an example. The first article today is about Judiciary. So we all know that it comes under GS2 likewise daily practice categorizing the articles under the sections of your syllabus so that you won't stay or you won't deviate from the right path. So on that note we will get into the discussion of today's articles without any delay. This news article here is about the statement by Chief Justice Ramana in the celebrations of the Constitution Day. He said that courts intervene not to take in its hand the role of the government but to nudge it towards the right path. In the recent times, Supreme Court intervened on issues as varied as vaccination program for the COVID-19, distribution of oxygen to Delhi's dying citizens, setting up the Justice R.V. Ravindran expert committee to enquire into Pegasus spyware allegations and appointing a retired high court judge to monitor the Lakhimpur Keri killing of farmers and civilians in which a prime accused is the son of a union minister. So the Supreme Court's intervention is as varied as these kind of issues. He also said that people misunderstand the role of judiciary. For example, some people believe that it's the court that makes the law. So on this context we are going to understand the role of judiciary and its structure, features and challenges faced by them. The syllabus related to this topic is given here for your reference. First of all understand that there are three distinct activities in every government through which the will of people are expressed. These are the legislative, executive, judicial functions of the government. So under the government of India, the executive functions are performed by the executives which includes president, vice president, prime minister, cabinet ministers. They implement the law made by the parliamentarians. The legislative functions of the government are performed by members of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. They make the laws and finally the assent is given by the executive which is president. That is why the executive's responsibility is to pass the law made by the legislature and it also implements the law. The implementation is performed by bureaucrats. The judicial functions of the government are performed by the judiciary which includes Supreme Court of India and the High Court of India and other subordinate courts. They resolve the conflicts between executive and legislature and other public related matters or conflicts. Since the article is about judiciary, let us concentrate more on the role of judiciary in this discussion. See, in any society disputes are bound to arise between individuals, between groups, between individuals and government. All such disputes must be settled by an independent body in accordance with the principle of rule of law. This idea of rule of law implies that all individuals, it doesn't matter whether they are rich or poor, men or women, forward or backward castes, they all are subjected to the same law. Equality before law is an element of this rule of law and is established by article 14 of Indian constitution. The principle role of judiciary is to protect rule of law and ensure supremacy of the constitution. Supreme Court held that rule of law in article 14 is considered as basic structure and it cannot be changed by amendment. It safeguards the rights of the individual, settles disputes in accordance with the law and ensures that democracy does not give way to individual or group dictatorship. From the citizen's point of view, judiciary is the most important organ of the government because it acts as their protector against the possible excesses of legislative and executive organs. So the judiciary is the guardian protector of the constitution and the fundamental rights of the people. So to perform this function, it is important to ensure the independence of judiciary. Note that independent and integrated judiciary is a salient feature of Indian constitution. Now let us see what does it mean to be independent and integrated. Simply stated, independence of judiciary means that the other organs of the government like the executor and the legislature must not restrain the functioning of the judiciary in such a way that it is unable to do justice. The other organs of the government should not interfere with the decision of the judiciary. And more importantly, judges must be able to perform their functions without fear or favor. These provisions ensure the independence of judiciary. We'll see some more details about how it is provided in the Indian constitution later in the discussion. Now let us see what does it mean to have integrated judiciary. The Supreme Court stands at the top of the integrated judicial system in India. Below it, there are high courts at the state level. Under a high court, there is a hierarchy of lower courts that is district courts and subordinate courts. The single system of courts enforces both the central law as well as the state law unlike in USA where the federal laws are enforced by the federal judiciary and the state laws are enforced by the state judiciary. So far we saw different organs of the government. What are they? They are executive, legislature and judiciary. President, prime minister, vice president, cabinet ministers comes under the category of executor and bureaucrats who implement the law also comes under the category of executors. Members of Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha and members of state legislative assemblies comes under the category of legislature. And supreme court, high court and other subordinate court comes under the category of judiciary. And also we saw the role of judiciary in India. What are they? They are it safeguards the rights of the individual and it settles disputes in accordance with the law. It ensures that the democracy does not give way to individual or group dictatorship and it is a guardian protector of the constitution and the fundamental rights of the people. And finally we saw this alien feature of Indian constitution which is independent and integrated judiciary. Independent in the sense, executive and legislature must not restrain the functioning of the judiciary. It should not interfere with the decision. Integrated in the sense, supreme court is at the top of the judicial system in India below that high courts and below that subordinate courts are there. And they enforce both the central law and the state law. With that let's move on to the next part of the discussion that is independence of judiciary. We'll understand how this independence is provided to judicial members. Firstly, the legislature is not involved in the process of appointment of judges. When it comes to the appointment of Chief Justice of India, the convention is that the senior most judge of the supreme court is appointed as Chief Justice of India. With respect to other supreme court judges, president consults the Chief Justice of India and the Chief Justice of India in turn consults four senior most judges of the supreme court. According to the three judges case 1998. The Chief Justice of High Court is appointed by president after consulting Chief Justice of India governor of the concerned state. With respect to the other judges of high court, president consults the Chief Justice of India, Chief Justice of the concerned high court and the governor of the concerned state and the Chief Justice of India in turn consults a collegium of two senior most judges of the supreme court. Read more about the three judges case for clear understanding. So we saw how independence is ensured in the appointment of judges. Let's move on to the second point which is the judges have a fixed tenure. They hold office till the age of retirement. Only in exceptional cases, judges may be removed, but otherwise they have security of tenure. Security of tenure ensures that judges could function without fear or favor. The constitution prescribes a very difficult procedure for removal of judges. The constitution makers believe that a difficult procedure of removal would provide security of office to the members of judiciary. Now let us see briefly about the removal of judges. A judge of the supreme court or high court can be removed only on the grounds of proven misbehavior or incapacity. A motion containing the charges against the judge must be approved by special majority in both the houses of the parliament. Special majority is nothing but majority of total membership of the house and a majority not less than two thoughts of the members of that house present and voting. Here for your reference, read the step-by-step procedure of removal of judges so that you will have a clear picture of how judges are removed. And thirdly, the judiciary is not financially dependent on either the executive or the legislature. The constitution provides that the salaries, allowances and the pensions of the judges are not subjected to the approval of the legislature. They are charged on consolidated fund of India and hence are non-votable by the parliament. So these are the three main provisions that ensures the independence of judiciary. Other provisions include the actions and decisions of the judges are immune from personal criticisms. The judiciary has the power to penalize those who are found guilty of contempt of court. This authority of the court is seen as an effective protection to the judges from unfair criticism. Parliament cannot discuss the conduct of the judges except when the proceeding to remove a judge is being carried out. This gives the judiciary independence to adjudicate without fear of being criticized. The parliament cannot curtail the jurisdiction and powers of the court however it can extend the same. So these are the provisions which ensure the independence of judiciary. See Indian judiciary enjoys a big importance in the eyes of people because it acts as the dispenser of justice, protector of the rights of people, guardian protector of the constitution of the state, arbitrar of centre state, disputes, safeguard against legislative and executive excesses, a check against arbitrary exercise of powers by the power holders, guardian of rule of law and justice. But the main challenge faced by judiciary is pendency of cases and vacancy that is low strength of judges in the courts. See the Indian judicial system is one of the strongest amongst all but it is facing certain challenges that are making it ineffective. This can be overcome by introducing all India judicial services and in this particular article Chief Justice Ramana mentioned about the suggestion of attorney general Venugopal which is nothing but restructuring of judicial hierarchy by including national court of appeals across the country. These appellate courts will act as buffer between the high courts and the supreme courts. What will it do? It will observe ordinary appeals from the high courts which does not include the constitutional questions of law. So implementing all India judicial services will address the challenge of vacancy and attorney general's suggestion of restructuring the judicial hierarchy will address the pendency of cases and also will reduce the burden of supreme court. And with this we have come to the end of our discussion. Let's have a quick recap. What all we saw today? We saw three different organs of the government, executive, legislature, judiciary and role of judiciary in particular which is safeguarding rights of the individuals settling disputes, protecting constitution and dispensing justice. And we saw the salient feature of Indian constitution which is independent and integrated judiciary and we saw in detail what does it mean to have independent judiciary and what does it mean to have integrated judiciary. And finally we saw the provisions which ensured the independence of judiciary. That's it for this article. Now let's move on to the next one. Now let us take up this FAQ article. See recently the union government decided to revisit the eligibility criteria for the economically weaker sections EWS category. And this particular article is written in this background. Now let us know more about this issue through this article. See the concept of EWS that is economically weaker section and their 10% reservation was introduced through 103rd Constitution Amendment Act which was enforced in January 2019. Now this amendment brought in two important changes. One was that it added clause 6 to article 15. This clause empowers the government to introduce special provisions for the EWS among the citizens excluding those people who already enjoy reservation. And it allows for reservation up to a maximum of 10% in aided or unaided public and private educational institutions excluding those run by minority institutions. So this is the amendment that has been brought in article 15. Secondly the amendment added clause 6 to article 16 of our constitution in order to facilitate reservation in employment. So these new clauses made it clear that EWS reservation will be in addition to the existing reservation. As we all know the constitution initially allowed such special provisions only for the socially and educationally backward classes but then this notion was changed under the 103rd Constitutional Amendment Act. Because through this amendment act the government had introduced the concept of economic backwardness which is designed for those who are not covered by or for those who are not eligible for the community based quotas. I hope you understand what does it mean by economic backwardness. Now let's quickly see the criteria for identifying economically weaker sections. See the main criterion is that those above an annual income limit of 8 lakh are excluded from this category. And this 8 lakh criterion includes the family income from all sources. Apart from this possessing any of the following assets can also take a person outside the economically weaker section pool. Let us see them one by one. So a person having five or more acres of agricultural land, a person having a residential flat of 1000 square feet and above, a residential plot of 100 square yards and above in notified municipalities, a residential plot of 200 square yards and above in other areas. So these are the criteria which takes a person outside the EWS pool. Now the main concern of the Supreme Court in this regard is this income limit which is fixed at 8 lakh per year. Let us see what is the concern. The concern is that the cap of 8 lakh per year is the same figure which is used for excluding the creamy layer from the OBC reservation benefits as well. So this creates the contention. As we know the EWS are a part of the general category. And one important point to be noted here is that the people in the general category to whom the EWS quota is applicable do not suffer much social or educational backwardness like that which is faced by the people who are classified as OBC. That is compared to economically weaker section, the OBC, other backward classes have additional impediments to overcome. So when viewed in this angle, the court feels that it would be unfair to provide the same 8 lakh per year income limit both for the OBC and EWS categories. And this is the reason why there are talks to revisit the eligibility criteria now. Now let us have a quick recap. So far we saw the amendment which brought the reservation for economically weaker section which is nothing but one third constitutional amendment act 2019. And under that amendment we saw the changes brought to the article 15 and the article 16. And after that we saw the criteria for eligibility of EWS which is an annual income limit of 8 lakh. Apart from this other four criteria which takes a person out of EWS pool are a person having five or more acres of agricultural land, residential flat of 1000 square feet and above, a residential plot of 100 square yards and above in notified municipalities, a residential plot of 200 square yards and above in other areas. And finally we saw the main concern revolving it. What is that concern? The concern is the cap of 8 lakh per year which is the same annual income limit for excluding the creamy layer from the OBC reservation as well. Considering the fact that OBC has additional impediments to overcome, it would be unfair to provide the same income limit both for the OBC and EWS categories. With this we have come to the end of our discussion. Now let us move on to the next news article. Now for my next news discussion I have chosen this news article. It is about an operation codenamed HE2 which was coordinated by the Interpol or the International Criminal Polis Organization. And this operation targeted to crack down cyber enabled financial crime and offences. This is the basic crux of this news article. Now based on this context let us learn about cyber crimes in general and then about the Interpol and its current operation HE2 and its findings. I have given the syllabus covered by this article here. You can make a note of it. See the cyber crime is the use of a computer or online network to commit crimes. Cyber crime includes hacking, malware, identity theft, financial and medical fraud. It also includes certain offences against persons which involve revealing their personal information, messages, images, video and audio recordings without the individual's consent or permission. So basically if you are revealing someone's identity or personal images without their permission or consent then it is called a cyber crime. Now let us see some examples of cyber crimes. They are cyber stalking, cyber harassment and cyber bullying. With time this cyber crime has become more sophisticated and the criminals are targeting individuals at times businesses, education institutes and even governments also.  As we are aware cyber crime is increasing day by day and nowadays it has become a new fashion to earn money by fraud calls or to take revenge through hacking other accounts. So the recent trend is if you want to take revenge on some person it means that you can hack their personal accounts and reveal personal information about them on social media platforms. See cyber crimes are prevalent throughout the world. When you take India for example according to the latest NCRB 2019 data that is National Crime Records Bureau data a total of 44,546 cases of cyber crimes were registered. And this has marked an increase of about 63.5% compared to 2018 estimations. So what does it show? A 63% increase was observed within one year of time. So far we saw what a cyber crime which includes hacking, malware, identity theft, financial and medical fraud and sometimes it also includes certain offenses against persons which involves revealing their personal information, messages, images, video audio recordings without their consent. Examples of it are cyber stalking, cyber bullying, cyber harassment and we also saw the status in India based on the data by NCRB which said that between the period 2018 and 19 there has been a huge increase in the percentage of cyber crimes in India. So to combat this growing threat the Interpol which is international criminal police organization has come up with this operation which is HE2. Before going into the operation let us see some details about Interpol. See the Interpol or the international criminal police organization it is an intergovernmental organization. So it is an organization between the government of different countries. It has 195 member countries. So what they basically do is that they help the polis in all of these member countries to work together in order to make the world a safer place. And they enable the polis of member countries to share an access data on crimes and criminals. And Interpol also offers a range of technical and operational support. So what does Interpol do? It basically connects the member countries and it helps the polis of the member countries to share and access data on crimes and criminals. In some cases it offers technical and operational support also. Now coming back to the operation HE2. HE2 is one such operation which provides technical and operational support. It is the second such operation in a three year project that was launched to tackle cyber enabled financial crime. In this exercise the polis units targeted specific types of online frauds such as romance scams, investment fraud and money laundering linked to illegal online gambling. This operation coordinated by Interpol was conducted over four months from June to September. And specialized polis units from more than 20 countries took part in the exercise. And the notable point here is that India was also a participant country. At the end of the operation around 1,003 individuals were arrested and investigators closed 1,660 cases. And the operation also helped in intercepting about 27 million dollars of illicit funds. In addition to this around 2,350 bank accounts which were linked to the illicit proceeds of online financial crime were also blocked. And this operation helped in identifying 10 new criminal modus operandi or the criminal operating ways. Know that in this operation the Interpol officials pilot tested a new global stop payment mechanism called anti money laundering rapid response protocol ARRP. See this initiator will help assess the member countries who liars with authorities in overseas jurisdiction to process stop money requests urgently. So this protocol will enable authorities to stop the circulation of illegal money. So to overcome the huge procedures and paperwork to stop the illegal money processing in overseas jurisdiction this stop payment mechanism has been tested so that the requests can be processed quickly. Interpol plans to officially launch the ARRP next year and its financial crime unit is currently working with member countries to integrate the system into the existing communication channels. So to conclude cyber fraud is a social problem. It can be reduced only with awareness and education and it needs global cooperation and coordination to effectively tackle this parallel cyber crime pandemic. Now let us have a quick recap here. First of all we saw we saw cyber crimes some of the examples of it and the status of cyber crime in India.  With this let's wind up this discussion and move on to the next news article. So this particular news article is about India, South Africa and Indonesia requesting a waiver from the key terms of WTO's agreement, TRIPS. WTO is nothing but World Trade Organization and TRIPS is nothing but trade related aspects of intellectual property rights. So India, South Africa and Indonesia are requesting a waiver in this agreement to provide some cheap vaccinations and medicines to combat the epidemic that is happening right now. So in this context let us understand the acronym TRIPS. First of all know that TRIPS which is trade related aspects of intellectual property rights is one of the most important comprehensive and multilateral agreement of World Trade Organization. It addresses a wide range of intellectual property rights. So let us see some of the other important agreements under WTO. They are general agreement on tariffs and trade, general agreement on trade and services. We are not going to discuss in detail about these agreements in this discussion. You refer to it and see what are they. Okay now coming back. See the IPR are the rights that are given to people over the creations of their minds and these rights are given by the society through the state as an incentive to provide and disseminate ideas and expressions that will benefit society as a whole. So they usually give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his or her creation for a certain period of time. Now let us understand what are these intellectual property rights. Intellectual property rights are divided into two main areas. The first one is copyright and the rights related to copyright. The right of authors of literary and artistic works such as books, musical compositions, paintings, sculpture, computer programs and films are protected by copyright. See the main social purpose of the protection of copyright and the related rights is to encourage and reward creative work. So the protection under copyright is given to encourage persons or people to do more creative work. The other category under the IPR is industrial property. So industrial property can be used fully divided into two main areas. One area can be characterized as the protection of distinctive signs in particular trade marks. So trade marks are nothing but signs which distinguish the goods and services of one enterprise from the other enterprises. And the distinctive signs also include geographical indications which identify a good as originating in a place where a characteristic of good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin. So you have to understand why it is protected. The protection of such distinctive signs aims to stimulate and ensure fair competition among the enterprises and to protect consumers also. So how are they protecting consumers here by enabling them to make informed choices between various goods and services. Here let us consider two enterprises A and B. They are making electronic goods and they are having the same signs. Say let us consider they are having same logo. So in this situation it creates a confusion among the consumers to find out which products are enterprises A's products and which products are enterprises B's products in the retail store. So this is where trade marks distinctive signs and geographical indications come in. So by having this condition it helps the consumers to make informed choices and it protects the rights of consumers also. So under the industrial category we saw one category which are distinctive signs, trade marks, geographical indications, other types of industrial property which are protected primarily to stimulate innovation, design and creation of technology falls under innovations protected by patents, industrial designs and trade secrets. The social purpose here is to provide protection for the results of investment in the development of new technology. How this is done? This is done by giving incentive and means to finance research and developmental activities. Remember IPRs are statutory rights that are enacted by the law making authority in a country. So far we saw a brief introduction about trips and we saw some details about IPR for better understanding of the concept. Now let us have a quick recap. So trips, trade related aspects of intellectual property rights. It is a comprehensive agreement of WTO. It addresses intellectual property rights. Under the intellectual property rights we saw two main categories. One is copyrights and the other one is industrial property. Under industrial property we saw two categories. One is distinctive signs, trade marks, geographical indications, the other is patents, industrial designs and trade secrets. For copyrights we saw the social purpose is to encourage and reward creative work. And for the industrial properties we saw the social purpose is to incentivize and to finance research and developmental activities. Now let us see some more details about trips. Trips is the most comprehensive international agreement on intellectual property and it has a major role in enabling trade in creativity and knowledge. In resolving trade disputes over intellectual property and in assuring WTO members the latitude to achieve their domestic policy objectives. Trips agreement lays down the permissible exceptions and limitations for balancing the interests of intellectual property with the interests of public health and economic development. So that is why the protection is given for a certain period of time to establish the balance between interests of intellectual property with the interests of public health and economic development. It came into force in 1995 as a part of the agreement that established WTO. It establishes minimum standards for the availability, scope and use of seven forms of intellectual property namely trade marks, copyrights, geographical indications, patents, industrial designs, layout designs for integrated circuits and undisclosed information or trade secrets. So to put it in simple words it applies basic international trade principles regarding intellectual property to member states and it is applicable to all WTO members. Note here India is also a WTO member. Remember it frames the IP system in terms of innovation, technology transfer and public welfare. So the entire intellectual property system it is framed on innovation, technology transfer and public welfare. The Trips Council is responsible for administering and monitoring the operation of Trips agreement. The Trips agreement is also described as Bernie and Paris plus agreement. With that we have come to the end of our discussion. Let us have a quick recap. We saw Trips, a brief introduction and different categories of IPR under which we saw copyright and industrial properties. And finally we discussed the features of the agreement Trips in detail. That's it for this article. Come let us move on to the next part of our discussion. I have given here a couple of prelims questions for your practice. Let's see them one by one. Under which one of the following Constitution Amendment Act, the concept of economic backwardness was introduced. So we saw this in our economically weaker section article. So the correct option here is option C. That is 103rd Constitutional Amendment Act which was enforced in January 2019. And we saw this extensively in our economically weaker section article discussion. Under this amendment act two changes were brought in. One in article 15 and one in article 16. So it changed the notion that Constitution allowed special provisions only for the socially and educationally backward classes. A new concept of economic backwardness was introduced in 103rd Constitutional Amendment Act 2019. Now let us see this prelims question which is based on National Intellectual Property Rights Policy. So with reference to National Intellectual Property Rights Policy, consider the following statements. It re-iterates India's commitment to Doha Development Agenda and the Trips Agreement. Statement two, Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion is the nodal agency for regulating Intellectual Property Rights in India. So in the article discussion we didn't see anything about National Intellectual Property Rights Policy. So I'll give you a brief introduction about the policy and afterwards we'll see which are the statements are right and which are the statements are wrong. The Union Cabinet approved National Intellectual Property Rights Policy in 2016 that lay the future roadmap for Intellectual Property in India. This policy shall be when the strengths of the government, research and development organizations, educational institutions, corporate entities including MS Amis, startups and other stakeholders in the creation of an innovation conducive environment which stimulates creativity and innovation across sectors. It also facilitates a stable, transparent and service oriented IPR administration in the country. So the policy ensures bringing together different stakeholders such as government, R&D organizations, educational institutions and corporate such as MS Amis, startups to create an innovation conducive environment. So that's what the policy aspires for. The policy recognizes that India has a well established TRIPS compliant legislative, administrative and judicial framework to safeguard IPRs which meets its international obligations while utilizing the flexibilities provided in the international regime to address its developmental concerns. So this particular line reiterates the India's commitment to the Doha Development Agenda and the TRIPS Agreement and hence the statement one is correct. The following objectives, the objectives we saw so far are sought to be achieved through detailed action plans. The action by different ministries and departments shall be monitored by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion which shall be the nodal department to coordinate, guide and oversee implementation of the policy and future development of IPRs in India and hence here the statement two is also correct. Let us see a quick recap of what is national intellectual property rights policy. Union Cabinet approved the policy in 2016 to lay a roadmap for intellectual property in India. What does the policy aspire for? It aspires for bringing together different stakeholders such as government, educational institutions, corporates for creating an innovation conducive environment. It also ensures TRIPS compliant legislative, administrative and judicial framework to safeguard IPRs and it reiterates India's commitment to Doha Development Agenda and the objectives of the policies are achieved through detailed action points and the nodal department to coordinate, guide and oversee the implementation is Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. I have given some of the main questions here for your practice. Interested candidates, write the answer and post it in the comment section, I will evaluate them. With this, we have come to the end of our discussion.

Hovering high above progressive field and Cleveland for the 90th major league baseball all-star game welcome back To our set down the first base line here a progressive field. That's right the big hurt the Hall of Famer Frank Thomas Hey Rod Alex Rodriguez is here. I'm Kevin Burkhardt. We've gotten to the bullpen. We've called in our guy Ken Rosenthal Ken Always a pleasure to see you my man. Thanks. So let's dive in and let's talk about the the number one talked about name in this trade Market it's Madison bum gardener right everybody wants him at least a lot of teams do what are you hearing? What are you feeling about bum owner where he's gonna be going? Well, it's interesting you talk to some of the teams always at this time of year you here Well, he's not really all that good. Yeah, not what he was in 10 and 12 and 14 in October Well, no kidding, but he is a guy whose stuff has come back and his velocity is up to strike out rates up walk Rates good the question has been the hard hit percentage He's given up a lot of hard hit balls in fact the highest rate in the national league And that is a fair concern but a couple of starts ago He made an adjustment started using both sides of the plate and it looks like he's coming around a little bit guys Have to adjust now ball is alive The offense is thriving everywhere and pitchers do have to do some different things. He is Madison bum gardener He's a guy capable of special things. We know that so what I reported today was that? Among the team showing interest. This is not an exclusive list, but among the teams the Brewers the Braves the Twins and the Astros now He has an 18 no trade list and we'll show you the list right here It's not a list that is necessarily prohibitive though It's a list where he basically picked the teams. He thought might want him just in case there's an agreement He'll have some leverage smart man might want to get some more money out of this So it says the headline there. That's a no for me. No, it's not. It's just a Possibility of a no and that could get him something in return, but I do expect he will be traded I do expect that he will bring a return similar to what the Rangers got for you Darvish a couple of years ago It's not going to be great. He's a potential free agent Two months from what Madison well, I'm gonna you're not getting the world for him But Alex this is still a guy that a lot of teams are gonna say okay He's he's someone we can trust in October. Yeah, no no question about it And look October is about peace of mind and when you think about the Yankees championships It has been David Wells Andy Pettit Ron Gidry. You need that left-handed this guy's not only 30 KB You brought up a great point in the green room. This guy has a lot at stake He's only made 57 million dollars in his entire career only 12 this year. Well in comparison to others I mean, here's a guy's looking at Chris Hale and he says you can do that But the bottom line is this guy has a lot at stake. Maybe New York is not a long term But if you're the Yankees you're 14th in the American League and starting pitching that is a hole And you've got to fill it and now with a three or four But with a number one and that's Madison bomb garden I feel the same way as you a rod This guy's been grossly underpaid for what he's done on the big on the big stage for world series championships. I Love it. I love his list It's no list because he deserves more money and I think that's what's gonna happen Have you heard anything about that at all? No, I don't know that he'll press Frank for an extension necessarily But maybe he gets a million dollars to approve the trade something along those lines. I mean the point is though He's he's never gotten the big kind of the sale the shirts are kind of he's never gotten that despite all his His postseason success of 211 era in the postseason. So, you know, he's got to be feeling like and keep in mind Kevin It's in his interest to be traded because if he gets traded in the middle of a season as a potential free agent No qualifying offer no draft pick compensation. He'll be an unrestricted free agent And Kenny to your point that era all that stuff like this. It doesn't matter. You saw Cole Hamels go from Texas to the Cubs There's an uptick these guys understand October Baseball. They're not gonna be frightened and now you mr. Big hurt You have some breaking news. Nope. No breaking news at all I just I was in Chicago yesterday for the Sox Cubs and Theo Epstein is not happy with his club team right now. Have you heard anything about maybe a trade up to break up? Some of them are not in that clubhouse. Yes, and they certainly are looking to upgrade and Frank You're absolutely right. Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer both have been public in the last week Expressing their dissatisfaction with the team's performance. What is one way to shake it up to bring in some new blood now? I know one guy they like he's currently on the injured list David Peralta from the Diamondbacks. He is a professional hitter someone who would help them a lot against right-handed pitching But who knows maybe they're at this point ready to decide, you know what this young group of hitters We've assembled not all of them have progressed the way we wanted to and maybe they break it up Joe Madden is he at all playing for a job or is he safe? He is safe in my opinion during the season Once the season is over and his contract expires if they were a disappointment I would expect that they would make a change. In fact, I was a little bit surprised They did not make a change at the end of last season because I was hearing things even then about The possibility that Theo Epstein might think they need a new direction. They've been talking about All these think different things they want to do great greater urgency a different tone in the clubhouse Well, these are code words for we want the manager to do some things differently Joe Madden has and listen, they've been a great second half team under him But yes, his job is at stake, you know, can I spoke into a lot of players KB and they're happy with him He's doing more coaching. He seems energized with my time around him He still seems like he's at the top of his game. Sometimes the answer is not the manager agreed and It's interesting too guys. Perhaps they Overrated what they had a little bit Schwerber is not the player they thought Russell not the player. They thought Al Mora Okay, Ian Haps in the minor leagues. So while Chris Bryant bias and contraris have become really good players that whole group hasn't Developed as one so Yeah, maybe they need to do something different, you know, there's just one last thing of the Cubs Then I want to move on to something else But Frank I thought Frank brought up a great name Kenny just kind of we're just kind of spit-balling and having lunch before the show Whitmerefield that just feels like a good fit for the Cubs guy That's a great second baseman can play anywhere can play the outfield move around that. I don't know Frank brought up I kind of like that idea for it's a great name and Cubs fans have been salivating over that name I don't expect it's going to happen. Oh Frank. I try he's under a long-term club friendly deal the Royals love him they think he could be part of their future even though he's a little bit older and To get him. It's going to take major league pieces now Maybe the Cubs would part with some but it's just a lot to ask from the Royals because I don't I just don't think they want to trade yeah big hurt He's getting scoops today Today and you're gonna watch this team and not motivation. He knows exactly all right Kenny We got more with you next hour of the show. So thanks. We'll have more on the yanks more on the fills with Kenny


Hi everyone, this is Dave Vellante, and I want to tell you about an event we're holding this week with support from UiPath. As you know, we've been reporting on the automation space and the impact of COVID. Earlier this month, UiPath had a big launch, and we were able to get some of their execs to come on theCUBE and talk about the future of automation. So on Thursday, May 21st at 12 noon Eastern time, we're running a program on theCUBE.net. It's going to start with my independent breaking analysis talking about some of the RPA challenges and updating you on the market. And we'll be looking at the latest ETR spending data and commenting on the competition with a particular focus on UiPath, but also automation anywhere, blue prism, and even some thoughts on PEGA systems. We then have four UiPath execs that we've interviewed, including CMO Bobby Patrick, Ted Cumert, who's their new head of products talking about software architectures. We also interviewed Tarik Medcor about RPA in the cloud, and we close with Brenda Nott, who I'm going to ask to defend UiPath's vision of a robot for every person, very ambitious. And I'm going to push Brenda in a little bit on how much is real versus marketing hype. So go to theCUBE.net, look for the UiPath event that you can add to your calendar. Thanks everybody, and we'll see you there.


The most disrespectful moments in anime history. He just got right into this video. He hit me with like 30 n words and a full plot and analysis within 10 seconds. We just crossed the 10 second mark. I felt like I just got a Bible thrown at me with information like information overload. That was disrespectful. I still don't think he's dead. He's on my shirt, bro. Shout to Uvogan. Is he on my shirt? I can't see. Ladies and gentlemen, Yujiro Hanma is a local black air force. Like dawg, this nigga's on demon time in 24-7.  Nigga! W child abuse.   Fighting a polar bear for fun. My god. Guys, who would win? Him or Saitama, be honest.  I can't even do that. I can't even get a full split. No, this is just where I can go.  A jawline gifted from Jesus himself is back. Is a literal second. Guys, I just want to drop a ball on his back back. It goes like this. You got a six pack on your back, nigga. Yeah, I understand why they're calling creature now.   Oh, but I can hear some of y'all already typing in the comment section right now. Hey, hey, yo, CJ. Why that nigga not at the round table yet, c'mon? Wait, wait. Wait, who's at the round table? Who's at the round table?    It's truck, man. Listen, listen, listen, listen. I know Ujiro has been the most requested person to be in the round table of Blackhead Force activity, besides, like, guns. Well, you want to know why it took me so long to...  Y'all didn't tell me this.  Do this?  I'll be the judge of the heinous asses. Run out of exhibits. So I was like, alright, bro. I'm just gonna have to give him a whole most disrespectful mums-in-anime history episode to himself. Alright, we'll see about that. We have to do it because it's gonna be a lot, bro. Like, I'm probably not even gonna be able to add everything on here. Yeah, guys, you're right. That was a big spoiler.  Yeah, that really spoiled me on the truck anime.  Anything I leave off, just tell me and I'm gonna just put them in other parts.  I actually have those. So to understand that... Bro, I have those.  I want to actually lick his titties, man.  Like, fully straight. We have to go all the way back. So far back, the main character ain't even owned yet. I'm talking about 1973 in the Vietnam War. Wow. This guy was fighting a whole-ass war with his bare hands at that age of 16.   I hate warzone, man.  It's bringing back the classic traditional Call of Duty.  Everybody. Like, this motherfucker took Guerrilla Warfare to a whole other level.  He is Rambo. He's Rambo.  She trying to seduce the hell out of this man.  Her name's Jane.  I read those sub-guidals. She trying... Yajiro Hanma, 16 years old.  Is that a 16-year-old in Japan? Wait, we're not. This is Vietnam. What do y'all be eating in Vietnam? Average 16-year-old? Yeah, and Jojo... Trying to seduce the hell out of this man.  Oh, you scared? Or maybe you still haven't experienced a woman yet? I don't know, man, he's 16. I don't think he was supposed to experience a woman yet. I'm Vietnamese. Then you look like him, don't you? Look at this man.  Then he just turns around and walks away, bruh. Man, it's like...   We ain't no simp.   So the moment she turned around, this man Ujiro came right behind her back and said... I know that OST. Wait, that's bleach. That's bleach OST.  So the moment she turned around, this man Ujiro came right behind her back and said... Shall I tear your skull out right here? Homie was deadass about to peel the skin off of this man. This is who you look up to!  You don't look up to Sanji. Oh... Oh... Oh, Emilia Chen.  Thing is in my mouth. Then this man just pipped slaps in like 20 yards, gave her a whole lecture, then walked out into the sunset. Yeah! You thought this man was done and... Yeah! He was just getting started.   And to disguise himself so he could enter the ba...   He ripped off the general's face and used it as... So this is Rambo slash Mission Impossible. Slash... Andrew takes biography. Got a mask.  Killing every single person in his pack. Wow! So then Jane pops back up and she's like...    So while they're escaping, you Jiro stop.  Why you stop? And he just stands there and just eats the entire explosion. Then he pisses left so growl again. And he figures out who's the boss.  That's leading him into a whole trap. So she tried to kill him.  Who's a sim?  We ain't simpsing.  Oh, 16-year-old. Come touch my titties. Nope. Oh, man. But obviously, uh, that ain't gonna work, honey. So how did he make her pay for this? Well, he gave her that redo with a healer treatment. So after he gives her the googly...   Oh, my God. This man uses her as a body shield. He kills everybody outside. He places his nigga's neck with 20 feet. Goddamn! He holds this man up at gunpoint, trying to kill him. Kim Jogoon needs to hit him up. He can slash the whole demon back at it and just look at her face, bro. Just impede. She just turned into a speck of cum. You're shocked. She's like, damn. I'm really about to have that nigga's kid. And, ladies and gentlemen, that is how Jack Kongo was born. Oh, but guess what? Wait, did he... Did he... Consensually? Did I read that right? Or did he do the other thing? But that was just the first son. Shit, we gotta go over... Don't do that, guys. Don't do that. The other stuff was fine. I was fine, bro.  But like that, that's... How the main character was born. We don't do that. Meet Emmy. Baki's crazy-ass, weird-ass mom. Like, for a long, long time. Here we go. Here we go. Now it's anime. Now it's anime. Nothing like making out with your mom. I used to do that on a Tuesday.   No, no. You see, back in the day, she was in a very happy relationship with a rich nigga. She was enjoying her life on a honeymoon. So then, that night, they go to a party, right? And guess who's there?  While she with her mans at a party. And look at her brush. She is... This is great!  We're five minutes in.  Mesmerize.  So then, the husband just, he's just straight up staring at him.    Niggas like, your fashion sense. Ass.  Your shoes. Ass. Your demeanor. Ass. Then, he just throws a whole plate of soup. My god.  My nigga.  Remember the last time you made out with your mom and then you went to a party and got a dish thrown at you? Respectful? All right, I could get real disrespectful real quick. So, he just leaves and kisses his wife. Oh, his wife. I thought he was kissing his mom again, man.  So many girls out there.    So, Ujiro... I knew that, too. I don't know who he is, man. I know he ain't gonna do anything. I can tell. I know one character's name in this anime. Baki, man. Man, I knew he was gonna do anything. All the way, that's not Baki. That's Ujiro. U-U-Uji. That's Edidori's dad. What, his whole race changed? I felt like he looked American in the beginning. Now he looks like something else.  He race swapped. They Disney'd it.  Oh, my God.  Oh, my God.  I learned that.   All right? You learn to hear first.   I wanna break your back so goddamn hard right now.   Did he actually say that? Oh, Baki is the son. That was just a backstory. Bro, it's literally Dio. Look, Kim Jong-un needs to drop Uji, you know, on wherever he's going. That's it. That's the answer. You don't need nukes.   Looks like a lion. W parenthood. I heard your Japan's greatest brawler at just 15. What? Wait a minute. This guy's 15 on the right? 15-year-old Japanese kids didn't look like this when I went. This must have been in the 70s, man.  There's no way. Ain't no way this is a 15-year-old. He's a 15-inch-er. I love it. Damn right I was looking at his cock.  Bro, which part of Japan is this in? I think I went to the wrong side. Yeah, how's he going to look when he's 30?  Guy's going to look like an Autobot.  She loved that.  You'll make her come. So they should try to shake him up.  Try that.   Man, it's like completely ruined her mind. He must have blasted her brains out of something. So I don't know if that goes down. Bakki's like, alright, bro. I got to fight my dad at this point. So the night before the fight, Amy's like, she is. Let me go see what that nigga, Ujiro, doing real quick. Ew. Wait, nah, bro. Nah, nah, she looks a little weird. She's watching this man train in the hotel room, right? So she's like, let me touch up on that nigga.  Who looks like this? Who looks like this? Imagine. Imagine being in one of those buildings back there and seeing this from the distance.  His leg is the size of her body.  That nigga. Then he just grabs her whole face and just pushes her back. You know what she wants? Throw her against the glass and hang her. And say you're going to drop her. That'll turn her on. Look at this nigga.  Don't approach me until I tell you to approach me.    Bro, look at her. This nigga, Ujiro, has absolutely. She get fucked, but she's just had like three lemon sours. Broke her mind at this point.  Why are they killing their son?  My God.  But she might be turned on by that. So Bakki, don't touch her.   This man was literally eating every single punch he threw at him.  In front of a helicopter. It looks like Tyrion versus Megatron. He knocked him out and started beating his face into the ground. Over and over and over. Bro, this is another day in Brooklyn. The fuck? This is another day in Italian household.  Everybody's just watching this like, God damn, isn't he going to son? So then the mom's like, Alright, I've been being weirdest.    So then she started trying to swing on Ujiro. Now she wants to join the match. Bro, but...  Dear God, baby girl.  So then Ujiro gets her a whole bear hug and he's like, Remember when I told you that one day I might break your back so...  Please. Come on, break my back.  Oh my God. Now she's having a... She's getting... She's creaming up in heaven right now.  That's great, man. What's wrong with this guy? Did his father or his uncle touch him inappropriately as a child? Why is he like this? Who raised him? Busted up into the Prime Minister's... I bet this guy has a redemption arc.   Look at them, bro. They surrounded him with riot shields and everything he couldn't do. Nigga just hit the dash. Brace both of their arms.   Then we go on to the next arc and I got Baki's like, bruh, I gotta get revenge for this dude killing my mom. So when Ujiro's confronting Jackie...  He looks like the red woman from Game of Thrones. It's like, hey, nigga, you kind of str... What do you mean this isn't even the worst? He just broke his wife's back and killed her.  He probably does. Oh, now fight me, nigga. But then Baki comes in and he intervenes.  I ain't got time for your so fast connections, nigga. And also, on the same Archie Fyce Toppo reveals his 1% body-fat demon back. A beast of living piss out of him. Also taking the niggas eye and knocked him out standing up. So after all that goes out... What in the YouTube terms of service just happened? Why is he saying the N words so much? Bro, I'm used to being from New York. In New York, they say it every sentence. I just learned to accept it.  That's racist. That's racist. You can't do that. Little onion component got flung away.  No way, she dead. What, is he joined? Wait, wait, let me put myself in the Baki mindset, bro.   And he starts laying the pipe on her and breaks her back and kills her. This man is literally standing over them while him and his girl are about to get it on. And he is deadass encouraging the...  Yeah, right from the back. There you go. Harder! Do it! Come on! Imagine what my neighbors are thinking right now. Oh, my God. Now I know why I get noise complaints. Like, why do I say this stuff out loud? That's a real dad, bro. Bring her back. Kill her. Let me show you the tongue movement. Shoker. That's your idea of closing the deal. I'll never be a granddad.    I'm Johnny, and you're gonna go into the studio today. You're playing Baki's father.  Would you be able to do that? Sasuke's voice actor? Is that why they're showing him?  Yo, this man just took a shot at every single hair in Protagonist.  Or Kadafi, what's his name? So then we cut to this fight with Multibay and Yankee. Now, Multibay has won the fight.  Conceived. Nigga, you lost. So then just out of the blue, this nigga, Ujiro, just comes out of nowhere and he's like, hey, nigga, let's crack it. So this man pulls his sword on him like he gonna do something. What, is he like the Candyman? You say his name and he appears behind you? I've never seen any anime. He started laughing, grabbed his sword and started breaking it into pieces one by one slowly. Look at this. This is nothing compared to breaking his wife's back and murdering her. I think this is quite normal for him. It's nigga's face. This is just the face of a... nigga, I'm fucked. That just drains all of your confidence.  Kinda looks like his grandpa.  Conny? Look at these character designs. I thought one piece designs were crazy, bro. Look at this. Look at this guy, flat top and then you have... he looks like a wrestler and then this, this thing over here.  I'm tired, I'm going home. But not that bad. I was waiting for that. Nothing like a body at a children's playground. Now we're talking.  The character design. Oh, I got to watch this shit, man. I got to watch this. See, I didn't want to watch Baki before it. Hey, y'all were like, spoilers, spoilers. I wasn't watching it. This video made me want to watch it.  Oh my God. You want to have a face off?  Y'all wanted to watch a face off? I'll give you one. Oh my God.  I got to see the author. This guy is sadistic. He's a freak.  He kind of does look like Markiplier. He thought of that guy breaking the life's back, ripping the face off, throwing it into the crowd. This is what this guy thought of. Imagine going to Japan, walking by. This is a casual guy on the train.   Made this and then thought of made B-stars. What's their offspring going to make? EDP the anime.  Had to finish it again. So then he sees Baki backstage and he's like, What does he do? He sees his son backstage. What does he do?  I think I could take you now. This man, Yujiro, was looking at him like, Really nigga? This isn't that crazy.  You had to push the extra limit. I thought, I was like, This is normal bro. Holding his son, choking his son against the wall. But that wasn't enough.  So then he fights the old OG for the last fight.    Dude looks like he was, he was dead already in the chair. I mean even though that the senior citizen dropped him, Homie pulled out that demon back and there he was.  Somehow that man came back to life. I don't know if they- Oh my god.    I'll tell you that. This guy's literally cracking. Well, uh, I guess all of the evidence just goes ahead and just proves it that uh. My man Yujiro has finally entered the round to- Bro, put him in the middle.   Like I think it might be safe to say the most disrespectful man in anime history.  Guys, it wouldn't win truckhoon or um god. Might be the most disrespectful man in anime history.   His hand- W. That's what I call equality. Everybody's always bitching and coming and crying over equality.  You want equality?   That's equality. Equal rights. Equal fights.


Well, it's official. Joe Biden is now the 46th president of the United States. Donald Trump is out of office. And if I could get a live feed of Donald Trump right now and what he's doing, I would pay any amount for that. I would give an arm and a leg for that because that would be very entertaining. In fact, more so than the inauguration itself. Because Donald Trump, you know, he's mad and the way that he left was to the song YMCA, which didn't necessarily seem fitting for the occasion. Like he probably should have played something more emo, maybe Lincoln Park, because we know that he's really butthurt right now because he wanted to win and he wanted to win so bad he literally tried to destroy democracy to remain in power. But I mean, that's all behind us now. The Trump era is officially over and Joseph R. Biden is the president. And I want to just take a moment to kind of talk about all of that, because this really is important. You know, for me, I am not excited about Joe Biden. I feel like if you are excited that Donald Trump is out of office, that's great. Take this time to celebrate. It's a pretty dark time in American history and human history. So if seeing him sworn in gives you joy, then genuinely don't like take that away from yourself.  This is not going to usher in some new era of progressivism in American politics. He's not going to be the next FDR and he's not up to the challenge, quite frankly. But just seeing Donald Trump out of office after especially last year, he became even more brazenly authoritarian, arresting folks in Portland, Oregon, throwing them in unmarked vehicles, threatening to use the insurrection act. It is nice to see someone, you know, be weirded out of office. And I will say that Kamala Harris being the first female president, that really is significant. You know, she is not someone who I like, her politics don't match mine at all. She is a neoliberal, which means she supports free market capitalist solutions to political problems. You know, I don't like Kamala Harris, but I'm not going to deny the importance of the symbolism there. Like the fact that we have a female vice president who is a black woman. This this really is, I think it is important. It is important for young girls to see a woman in power, right? But putting all of that aside, what we need from these next couple of years are tangibles. We need policy concessions. We need Joe Biden to deliver. We need the Democratic Party to deliver because guess what? All eyes are on them now. They have 100 percent of the blame if things don't go well in this country. And trust me, Republicans are very disciplined in their messaging, so they're going to be blamed no matter what.  And the way that you can do this easily is to give people two thousand dollar checks, make sure they have health care, make sure that during this pandemic they're taken care of. And what's really important, I think for this next year and the way that I would measure Joe Biden as having a successful first year is if he is able to get COVID-19 under control. And that's something that's relatively difficult to do, given that we're at a state where we're seeing like four thousand deaths per day. We're going to surpass five hundred thousand deaths, probably in a month or so. Like it's really serious. So if he can actually follow through on that promise of getting a hundred million people vaccinated in the first 100 days, I think that is that's huge. That's really, really substantial and praiseworthy. And I will praise him and give him credit for that if he can actually accomplish this. But I am skeptical because logistically speaking, that seems really difficult to do, given how poor shape we're in currently. But if Joe Biden at a minimum can get COVID-19 under control and do a better job than Donald Trump, which I suspect he will, then I think, you know, already by that standard alone, he'll be better than Donald Trump. And it's not a very high bar to pass. Donald Trump was a terrible president. I don't think he's as bad as George W. Bush was in terms of the damage that he caused. But if we were to give him another term, I think we would have plausibly seen him actually strike around, like see damage on the scale that George W. Bush caused internationally and certainly domestically, you know, with his incompetence, Joe Biden or Donald Trump, rather, he has a lot of blood on his hands and he's going to have to live with that for the rest of his life. But I don't think he's ever going to come to terms with that. So the best that we can hope for now in this new era, this Biden era is that, you know, folks don't take this as a sign that things have returned to normal because a country that allows the rise of a demagogue, that's not normal circumstances. There were underlying material conditions and racism that was never eradicated and white supremacy, all of which led to Donald Trump. So if we genuinely want to stop the rise of the next Donald Trump, whoever that may be, we have to make sure that Joe Biden and the Democratic Party are held accountable for everything that they do. They actually take meaningful steps to change the material conditions in this country. Now, even if they're successful and, you know, it's the best case scenario and they actually really do improve the standard of living for everyone, that doesn't mean that, you know, the possibility of the next Trump coming to power is entirely eliminated because, you know, if you give people money and they have jobs and they're not impoverished and desperate, that doesn't necessarily mean that racism and white supremacy vanishes like that. That's a separate issue that we have to tackle, right? But I mean, class and race issues, they are interconnected. And, you know, if we don't address these issues in the next four years, then I do worry that the next demagogue who comes along is going to be more effective and more nefarious than Donald Trump. You know, Donald Trump, the things that he wanted to accomplish, he was unable to accomplish because he doesn't really know what he's doing. As president, he was in over his head, but someone who actually knows how to will power appropriately, they can do a lot more damage than Donald Trump. And I fear that that's going to happen if Democrats fail here. So the task ahead of them is absolutely gigantic. And, you know, my expectations for the Democratic Party are low because they've let me down time and again. But what we should want from them, like what we should get, our expectations should be high, even if, you know, we don't expect them to do a lot. But we'll have to wait and see. Like I genuinely hope that Joe Biden proves me wrong, right? I've been very hard on Joe Biden. I've been relentless in attacking him.  I wanted Bernie Sanders to be president. I have no problem admitting that. But now Joe Biden is president, like it or not, that's the reality. So I hope that he actually proves me wrong and delivers. But we'll have to wait and see. And certainly if he doesn't, I'm going to hold him accountable. But if he does something good that warrants praise, then I will absolutely give him credit. Again, I've said this once, I'll say it again. I don't want to establish like a narrative on this channel that either Joe Biden, good Joe Biden, bad, I want to be objective. I want to be impartial. And so as a leftist, if Joe Biden does something that I agree with, I'm going to give him credit for that. And that's the way that I think that political commentators should respond to the Biden administration going forward. Even though I hated Donald Trump, I did give him credit where it was due. I think that his criminal justice reform, the first step act was a step in the right direction, albeit a small one. I think that him attempting to make peace with North Korea, even if that was frowned upon by mainstream media and the elite class, I think that was good. Anyone pursuing peace, even if they don't necessarily know how to facilitate that, they get credit for that, even if you're Donald Trump, even if the rest of your administration is doing harm and damage. So having said that, though, yeah, we have a new president. It's Joe Biden. And look, I'll just say I am I am a little bit relieved that Trump is out of power. Like there was a moment in time after the election where I was genuinely concerned that Trump maybe would be successful at somehow stealing it. I mean, we saw back in 2000, the way that George W. Bush kind of stole that election from Al Gore. But this time there were just too many states.  He wasn't competent to pull this off. So, yeah, now we go forward and do everything in our power to make the best of the situation that we're in and hope that we at least at a minimum can expect that Joe Biden will handle this pandemic better and more competently. And I think that we can at least expect that. But of course, he's got to do more than just that structural changes need to happen if we want to prevent the rise of another Donald Trump. But I'll leave that there because at this point, I feel like I'm just rambling. I just wanted to share my thoughts on Biden being sworn in because overall, like, you know, I feel not much. I kind of feel numb, not in a bad way or a good way. I just kind of feel ambivalent because, you know, sure, I'm relieved that Trump is out of office, but Biden, you know, he is someone who I think even though there will be a lot of net positives with him being in office, there's going to be some downsides to it as well. So we'll have to deal with that on a case by case basis. But for now, at least Trump's out of office. That's that's a good thing. That in and of itself, I think is worthy of celebration, even if the person who's replacing him is not my first choice. Or second choice or 18th choice if we're being serious.


Hey, I'm Lance Corporal Tyler Harrison, and this is Hardcore Jobs. On this episode of Hardcore Jobs, we're going to step into the shoes of Staff Sergeant Best and see what it takes to be a marine firefighter. So, what we do as firefighters in support of the Air Wing and the MEF is we support air operations. Obviously, there are being a lot more facets involved when we are firefighters. Our main purpose is to make sure that we can grade and egress through firefighting, pull the pilots out if a downed aircraft were to happen or mishap, and get them to safety. As far as the lessons that you take away is that it's nothing that you can take lightly. The training that we do is literally live fire. We can practice spring water on air with concrete, but you can't control fire. The fire has a mind of its own. If it wants to go left, it's going to go left, if it wants to go right, it's going to go right. You can't control it. It's going to come at you and you have to be ready to fight that fire in any way. Thanks for turning in to seeing this episode of Hardcore Jobs. For more information, follow us on Facebook on Marines.mil at 1 Marine Expeditionary Force. Until next time.


So we will go up to question 20. We will go up to question 20. In the USA, children watch too much violence, right? How many classes? So we can count. OK, so you guys are working as a team more now.

So we have five more questions. There are too many chairs. So we can count the chairs, right? 18,000 to 12,000. Well, I think it said there are enough chairs. If I could go back. There are enough chairs. You could say there are enough chairs in the room, meaning we have enough. There is enough butter on the popcorn. There are enough chairs in the room. Yes, no, no, no, don't be sorry. That was a good question. You were actually right. You could say enough. Is there blank lemonade for everyone? I don't want you to be thirsty. So if you don't want everyone to be thirsty, then you would be worried that there is not enough, right? Very good. You both got that one. 13,000 to 19. So we will go up to 20. So we have three questions left. We lost blank time with talking yesterday. We should have worked more. Too much. 21,000 to 14,000. Very good. Much. And the last one we will do today, how blank coins do you have in your pocket? All right, so today the winner was Europe with 17 to 24,000. But we say you have just won the battle. You have not won the war, right?
