A to-do list for people and planet and a blueprint for success. In just a few words, US Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon laid out the importers of the new Sustainable Development Goals, which will guide development action through the year 2030. The new development agenda also signals global acknowledgement of the importers of financial inclusion. Inclusive finance is recognized in the goals as a catalytic tool to advance human development, addressing poverty, hunger, gender equality, economic growth and much more. Our challenging next step is to implement those new development goals. But it is important to reflect on the progress we have made already. Access to finance has expanded by 700 million people in just three years. Giving these 700 million people opportunities they previously did not have. I have seen the impact of financial inclusion on the ground in the lives of people like Joanna Islam. Her tax her workshop in Bangladesh demonstrates what financial inclusion can do for gender equality and women's economic empowerment. From individual stories to huge data sets, the evidence of the past and the present suggests that universal financial inclusion is within our reach. But our focus in the coming year will need to expand and deepen. The fast-growing financial technology sector has the potential to improve access and usage and help us reach excluded populations. Still, a wider discussion of consumer protection is necessary. Closer attention is also needed to offering financial products that consumers want, need and will really use. Looking forward, we must continue to strengthen links between financial inclusion and development. We must dig more deeply into how to deliver real value to the poor. Ultimately, improving lives is a promise of financial inclusion.


ee-party service as part of their own life cycle so kubernetes say ok everything in terms of dependencies that your application have everything will be deployed in a container but a group of containers is called a pod pod and of course a node can have multiple pods and now how do you solve logging here so as we said earlier we can have fluent bit running inside each node but there is something interesting here I explained it without a slide but here is better when you have kubernetes in a very global overview you have an API server which is like the master guy who coordinate everything we have the nodes or minions used to be called before node 1, node 2 and what we have here inside the little boxes this is a pod for example pod 1, pod 2 they are both independent but both lives in the same node and the idea is that we put fluent bit inside each node it can collect the information from the pods but there is something interesting here everything that runs in a pod can have metadata for example when you parse your log files or from docker you can have the container name the container ID because that is provided by the file name but how you can get information what is my pod what is my cluster name what is my pod ID they are like kubernetes concepts because if you are going to do some analysis later you are not going to query a specific container you are going to query a specific pod or some labels associated with that but labels resides here so the log forwarder that you have here in your node needs to be able to read the logs understand the pods architecture and also gather the metadata from here and fluent bit is doing just write that fluent bit has that future from a year ago so well this is the demo let's see okay the I am not going to run directly inside a kubernetes pod because of connectivity issue that I have but instead what I am going to do is run my internal kubernetes cluster what is my computer it is not a cluster so we are going to talk directly to the APS server so we are going to do sorry we are going to enable the proxy so my machine can talk to the internal cluster it is already running there you go let's see that okay is there yeah so I can talk from my machine to the cluster okay I have a proxy running locally so now we are going to use a configuration file this is a fluent bit configuration file this is a minimalistic version so this file which is called cube.conf it loads the parsers it tells this is the input what we have in the configuration is pretty much the same that we have in the login pipeline we define the input the filters and outputs the parsing passes internally and the buffering is internally so we are going to parse the whole etcd logs of course I am going to read the kubernetes logs that I have in my system then we are going to apply a filter what does a filter a filter can add data remove data or alter data because what we want to accomplish here is to add the kubernetes metadata podname, namespace, id, namespace name so I just give it to our filter the address of the kubernetes API server or master server and once it flows through the data it is going to flow through the data to a standard output sorry, what was the question the filter is like a kind of plugin inside a fluent bit so the filter exists three types of filters as of now one which is called grep that you can enable it to grep that means that you want only certain fields certain records that has a match against a regular expression or you want to use it for exclude some kind of records and we created a new filter which is called kubernetes a filter is like a plugin, it's a source code that takes some data and does something with it this is all in C this is not an external process everything is inside fluent bit I am going to show you a structure later let's look at now plugins filter kubernetes we are loading this this filter well, there it has like 500 lines, 600 lines it's not too long but what this filter does every time that you get some blocks it's going to talk to the kubernetes API server get the metadata and append that metadata to each log so let's run it we are going to use the configuration file, remember kubernetes it should work there you go now the same log files that we get earlier from the bear docker now we got it again but we get it with some extra metadata from kubernetes okay this is the tag this is like a file name here start the log pod name etcd monotop name space name, everything from kubernetes kubernetes, container name that come from docker docker id the pod id their labels, component tire control plate, annotations to to to so that is the goal of a filter that it got an original record that did not have anything did not know anything about kubernetes but got the information and append that to the log because when you do some logging in production do you need that information maybe you have a hundred of machines and you need to understand where they apply, in which pod that application failed how that works, okay that's a good question I was just asking is there any HTTP request for every log file that we get of course not we have some cache why? because every log that we get here has a key value pair the pod name and the name space name once you are tailing a new log file there's one HTTP request to the server because it needs the metadata for that pair and it keeps cache locally, in memory so we got this for kubernetes now the metadata status is like, okay this is like explaining pretty much the same the pod name, name space, container name, container ID and if you are not using kubernetes later do you need to start learning this because this will be the default or the default way to deploy things about full embed and pretty much that you are a little bit convinced now that it works why is so good because it internally it does, it works with coroutines do you know what is a coroutine okay who's a developer here raise your hand okay when you develop some network service and you try to communicate to somewhere do you tell the operating system please connect to this server from the point that you invoke the system call to connect there are many phases internally so you have two choices or you just stand up waiting or you just send the request continue working and get back later when that response is ready of course the second method is quite better but it adds a lot of complexity because you need to connect maybe you need to write some information maybe you need to then read some information and on each phase of that something can happen, something could fail but the good thing about coroutines is that it allows you to perform that operation from a developer's perspective the developers for example we have an HTTP endpoint a web server FluentBit provides a full API for the developer where he said okay the developer just said please connect to this endpoint the developer thinks that he's connecting and is just there sequentially but as soon as the API connect try to connect it get back it try to consume log and get back the control at the next line so coroutines allows you to keep the states and to solve the asynchronous problem the asynchronous problem that we have when we develop something with this model coroutines are not magic it has some complexity but the goal with this is that if you are implementing something you just for example if you want to send some HTTP data to the server just invoke one function and internally let FluentBit deal with the whole complexity about networking, errors, buffer problems and all that kind of things because imagine that we can create we want to create, I don't know 30 output plugins for different stuff is anybody going to handle every single detail about networking issues? no if there is a person who writes an output plugin they just want to learn about how to take the internal representation of data how to convert this data to my format and how to send it and I don't want to have problems when sending it so that is coroutines coroutines allows you to suspend the execution in a process and retake back the control later at the same point and all of this is done with some synchronous event and Linux is with ePool on OS 10 and BSC with KQ and if you want to deploy FluentBit on Kubernetes you can deploy it as a demo set a demo set is a special component in Kubernetes that means you can deploy an application but if you say this is a demo set that application is going to be deployed on every node of the cluster and it's not taking notes because the slides will be available later so that is important and of course all of this is open source and now we have contributors around the globe from the States, from Japan and cool so what is the status? right now we are releasing the version 0.11 right now in March before the cloud native code in Berlin which is now March 20 so like a few weeks we are releasing that 0.11 that comes with the parsers, memory optimizations and everything that you just saw here the Kubernetes support is just new, it's just landing and for the next version of May we plan to add a multi-line support for Intel and add monitoring capabilities because in the CNCF or Kubernetes ecosystem you want to monitor everything how X application is behaving and also if this application is part of the stack of the component of course you want to know how much memory is consuming how many lines is consuming per second and that kind of things so here's the final information there's the project twitter full documentation one of the biggest things about full embed is that from the version 0.1 it has documentation so we have really good documentation trust me this is the GitHub repository and if you want to contact us we have a Slack channel I know that some people are afraid to join Slack because it consumes too much memory I was invited to 7 Slack teams, it consumes more than one gigabyte of memory, it's crazy so but if you want you can join or just follow us, fluentbeat on twitter thank you if you have some questions, we have time because there's no more talk after this yeah, the Intel plugin supports a database with SQLite optionally so it can keep track about files rotated or status if you were telling some file and something and fluentbeat goes down for any reason it can retake so you don't part from the beginning yeah so every time that we re-read a bunch of bytes we track what was the last position so we can retake context at any point yeah we track rotation, the only problem is when the rotate daemon does truncation mode but that is a problem for everywhere yeah a fluentbeat to fluentd and it's very directional it's using TCP a protocol which is called forward it's an internal protocol, it's pretty much the representation that you saw we use messagepack, do you know messagepack? okay, the creator of fluentd he created messagepack years ago so messagepack is like a binary JSON but it's a serialization format so if you want to see the track from fluentbeat to fluentd it's messagepack over TCP it's basically that it's different, yeah the configuration from fluentd it's similar but it's different we have a different format because if you saw the fluentbeat configuration and you have some section name and you have some spaces if you break the configuration you don't follow the right intentation for example like in Python the service will not run it's like try to force the people who use it to write a good configuration but in terms of compatibility so there are many things that are similar but are not equal no, we had to write the syslog plugins for fluentbeat, we don't have it about plugins something that I didn't mention I don't know why, we have Golang support so that means if you want to write your own output plugin you can write it in Golang and link it to fluentbeat that works we have somebody from Samsung writing the Kafka plugin in Go if fluentbeat read from namepipes eh no nobody asked for that yeah it read from standard input from TCP for many things it's not really from input please log an issue on the github yeah it's quite simple the aggregator think about this every component here in the stack either fluentbeat or fluentbeat even if it's an aggregator it's consuming data so it's going through interfolder parser, buffering so yeah if you get the data on fluentbeat you can do whatever you want with the data put the data to different fluentd's or send it to destination it has some load balancing too so that's why it's a really good aggregator has some failover modes yeah exactly it depends on how you that is called aggregation patterns about how you distribute your fluentd's or logging solutions in your architecture but yeah you can make fluentd talk to each other fluentd talk to fluentbeat fluentbeat to fluentd do a ttls if you want and it will work how do they find each other no they don't find each other it's not like a cluster master slave mode when they can look up each other so you have to apply that configuration manually but if you're working on kubernetes that is different because kubernetes makes sure to add some kind of label with names to each service and they have an internal dns stuff to auto rediscovery yeah the goal of fluentd initially is that it's not do not aim to replace anything if you're using syslog in your device or you imagine you're happy with it please keep it if you have syslog engine and you can send the logs over the network fluentd can be used because you put fluentd and say please listen for a syslog so you point your own syslog services talking to fluentd so that makes a lot of sense it's a really strong use case the thing is that you don't touch your architecture if something is working you don't want to hurt anything put fluentd change a plugin change a configuration because it can listen from journald, from syslog, from files from tcp even you can flush data from do you know elastic search right do you know file bits file bits is to collect logs send it to logstash and then to elastic search yeah you can let fluentd listen for message from file bits and let fluentd talk to logstash or either elastic yeah it's like a multiple it's very pluggable wide file bits versus fluent bit I think that there's not a strong reason I think that file bits works really good so I honestly I always say I'm good for you don't fix it let it run now if you need but you cannot run file bits on Kubernetes and how do you get the metadata I don't that's the reason yeah that's the thing so if you want something that can get the metadata and also happen that the whole components of elastic are very tight to work between them they're not generic to talk with different solutions so if you use file bits it's either elastic search or logstash maybe they have some other endpoint right now but it's not quite flexible that is not the philosophy of fluentd and fluent bit well the thing is you have to be honest if you want to do parsing you're going to apply some regular expression that will cost you that is not free if you add more filters you have more overhead you will have it now of course you can find some ways in order to say I'm going to parse just log files from this directory and the files that has a different pattern I'm going to add a different input because you can have many inputs so you apply the parser for the inputs that you are really interested on I would say that don't touch the syslog side let fluentd and fluent bit handle that because parsing anyway is expensive but we always try to optimize for performance always so you cannot get it for free okay thank you oh sure yeah it will be online I have a lady that will kill me if I don't send her this slide over email okay thank you guys I have t-shirts I think that for everybody if you can make a line you have some t-shirt please come here I have a question on large just saying which size are you which one yeah I wrote an influxdbo plugin for fluent bit large okay help me with this let's put it there each one try to pick just one yeah guys if you don't want it just leave it there somebody will want it tomorrow larger here okay you said about influxdb yeah we just have a customer question about they want to flush data to influxdb faster so we wrote the plugin for fluent bit and we actually crashed it because it cannot handle the load so yeah it's fully supported with the right configuration because influxdb is good but you need to be ready to run some data fluentd already runs on windows so that we are going to announce that for the version 1.0 that is going to be released soon and fluent bit it builds on windows it builds and runs basically yeah okay thank you you found it? it is large okay


The results of two by-elections in the United Kingdom indicate the extent of the challenge before Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the ruling Conservative Party. Now the Conservative lost the elections in the constituencies of Kingswood and Wellingbro by substantial margins to Labour Party and this gives a sense of the kind of headwinds that the Conservative Party will face. It's deeply unpopular. Many of its policies are hated by the people and the country's economy has slipped into a recession. Now the Labour Party does seem to have a lot of advantages but it also has failed to present a very serious or substantial alternative policy agenda. To understand the politics of the United Kingdom at this point and what lies ahead in the elections, we go to Anish. Anish, thank you so much for joining us. Let's take a look at these by-election results quite a severe blow to the Conservative Party months ahead of the election. First take us to what these constituencies were, you know, what was the situation and what is the kind of outcome that happened. Yes Prashant, the results are quite significant in multiple ways. One is definitely the fact that both the seats that went into the by-elections were Conservative strongholds. They have been held by the Conservative Party for years together. For instance Wellingbro was held since 2005, so nearly 20 years of Conservative representation from that constituency has been brought to an end. And Kingswood, another Conservative stronghold, has been held by the Party since 2010. So nearly one and a half decade of Conservative hold on the constituency came down. And this is also nothing new at this point in time. There have been 11 by-elections that have happened since the Rishi Sumit government has come into place and in the 11, the Conservatives have only one, a single seat, which is Utsbridge and Utsbridge and Southwester. Now, in that case, the result was actually an upset and the Conservative candidate who won Steve Tuckworth won by a very small and reduced margin of something around 500 votes. So it's quite a significant event and it's a consistent trend that has been going on for the past year or so against how the wave, there's a wave of anti-incondition that has been quite consistently going on under the Sumit government and there has been no let-off on this matter. Many multiple seats have been flipped mostly by the Labour Party, clearly showing that the Labour Party is currently holding momentum privately because it is taking advantage of the anti-incondition against the government because the Conservatives have really failed to take care of several daily bread and butter ratios for the British people at this point in time. The cost of living crisis is still there even though there has been a let-off over the past couple of months. It is still, the after-effects are still quite prevalent and on top of that, the government has been pushing for several anti-democratic moves, trying to, you know, lock or ban protest strikes, strike the trade union strikes or any kind of workers' mobilisation. Very recently there has been an attempt to target Palestinian protesters and all of this has definitely clearly shows that there has been an impact that is only chipping away at the Conservative base at this point at the advantage of opposition groups, whoever is the strongest and in this case, the Labour Party being the more organised with the national profile among all the opposition parties is definitely gaining from these, from Conservative weakness. Right Anish, like we said, few months left for the elections and already there's multiple reports stating that Labour definitely has an advantage. So what are the situations as far, what is the situation as far as both the parties are concerned based on various polls, based on various estimates, what does this political situation look like now? Yes, so as I said, like there is a general trend of anti-democracy and the Conservatives have not been able to plug that kind of bleeding of the votes that has been seen over the past couple of years now actually and it's not just a Sunni government hallmark, it has been happening under the previous and since at least for results of government where Conservatives have been losing quite a few of their very significant seats. But you know, since most of the by-elections have happened very recently and in most cases pretty much all of the cases that has happened under the Sunni government, it has happened primarily because of one of the other Conservative Party leaders being held up in some kind of scandal. So and there has been no, you know, no success by the Tories to actually regain people's confidence, even bringing back some of the, even the older leaders like David Cameron is brought back as one of the significant members of the cabinet and even that hasn't actually favored the Conservatives at this point in time. So it clearly shows that there has been, this is nearly 14 years of Conservative rule has really not made, you know, an impact that is the legacy is now for all to see. The post-COVID United Kingdom is really seeing the after effects of even Conservative, more than a decade of Conservative rule and how that has actually impacted the economy. The post-Brexit process, the COVID-19 mismanagement that only exacerbated the cost of living crisis in the post-COVID-19 era, all of this has come to really bite back the Conservatives. On the other hand, the Labour Party is making gains, but this is only kind of emboldening the current establishment Tory-like Labour leadership right now and that is another part of the concern because in many cases their policies or the policies that they're trying to push for pretty much are not that, you know, in opposition with the Conservative agenda, at least in the economic front. So in many of these cases, the fact that there has been very little difference between the Labour and the Conservatives is also a matter of concern for many of the progressives in the UK who see that like growing Labour victories only emboldened the Tory-like version of the Labour Party rather than the more progressive ones who are actually doing much of the work at the grassroots right now. Thank you so much, Anish. But do stay back. We'll come back to you for the next story as well. On February 16th, that is Friday, tens of thousands of people across India observed what is called the Grameen Band or the Rural Shutdown. Now, this was mainly done by farmers organizations, by workers organizations which have been collaborating, working together and of course this is connected to the historic farmers' protests from two years ago. Meanwhile, farmers have also been protesting on the borders of the Indian states of Punjab and Haryana, a large number of farmers gathered there. All these demands by these protesting farmers and workers are very similar. A lot has to do with what is called the minimum support price or the MSP which is also one of the key demands of the protest two years ago but has not been fulfilled. To understand what these protests are, what are the demands, we go back to Anish. Welcome back, Anish. The farmers' agitation right now, both the rural shutdown that took place yesterday and the ongoing protest on the borders of the states of Punjab and Haryana, clear echoes of what happened two years ago and many of the demands are quite similar too. So maybe could you take us through what these demands are, why are the farmers at this point just months before the election staging these protests? Yes, Prashant. So let's begin with some of the main demands that farmers are calling for in the current round of negotiations as well. Obviously at the top of it is the minimum support price for farm produce. A minimum support price is basically an assured, legally assured pricing system that would ensure that farmers make a profit or at least recover the cost and make some surplus out of their produce which could actually help them in continuing the production process itself. One of the reasons why there is a massive farming distress, rural distress across India is primarily because farmers often do not get to recover the cost of their produce and especially if they are engaged in producing or farming essential commodities, food grains and who are not in the cash crop industry. The other ones who are far worse off, it's not like the cash crop industry is better or are doing far better. They are also facing losses very routinely but it's the food grains and the farmers who are engaged in the production of food grains are the ones who are the far worst affected at this point in time and this also multiplies to food crisis, farming crisis and agricultural crisis. That is something that is widespread at this current point in time across India. On top of that they are calling for loan waivers from banks and the NBFCs sorry NBFCs are non banking finance corporations or companies. They are also farmers are calling for loan waivers. Now loan and debt crisis across the farming sector especially for small farmers is something that has led to debt of nearly 200,000 farmers across India as for certain estimates. So this is a massive crisis that has been going on since the mid 90s and it has remained under debt and loan waivers are one of the ways that farmers are saying would actually support them and help them regain their production capability. In many cases very often farmers need suicide because foreclosures are being imposed on them on their lads which pretty much renders them without a livelihood and their families without a livelihood. So suicides that you know really seen as this is the kind of tragedy that is widespread across India in most places and especially in north of India where there is an intensively massive farming distress that is also that also remains unaddressed. Another part of this is the off the demands is the crapping of the Electricity Amendment Act. The Electricity Amendment Act is pretty much does one of the ways it impacts farmers is basically it takes out subsidized electricity consumption which is kind of important for farmers to you know offset some of the costs of electricity usage for their farm process. Bringing it out would actually increase their cost. Again just only multiplying the already widespread distress and obviously the last one the suspension of Ajay Mishra, the minister of the Bhakti Jattavati the ruling BJP of Prime Minister Larry Brahmode. He was implicated in protecting his son Ashish Mishra who is one suspect of the Lakhimpur Kheri killings in which he is said to have driven the car that killed about four farmers and a journalist and you know offset a violent struggle between farmers and police at the time. It pretty much was one of the most gruesome incidents throughout the farm and the farmer's protest that actually that India witnessed a couple of years ago and this is something that farmers have been demanding for a very long time. Ashish Mishra and continues to evade prosecution by much of it he in fact went into hiding at the time. There are multiple witnesses who saw him driving the car and running away from the scene. Ajay Mishra have continued to protect him and is still one of the senior most leaders and in the BJP who continues to retain his position. So these are some of the main demands that farmers have put forward in their current set of protests in the national capital Delhi. Right Anish and also could you give us a sense of the scale of the protest what has been happening on the ground as part of these protests. The situation on the ground is quite dramatic right now. Pretty much the government of Haryana which is the neighboring state to Delhi the national capital is trying to block roads highways with you know significant level of blocks and blockades pretty much blockading the entire capital blocking off all major roads that lead to the capital. You know some of the busiest highways in fact and this is something that that they're they're going to continue indefinitely as farmers decide to go on with the struggle. There is also you know attempts by the government to you know suppress the protest in many ways. There are currently negotiations ongoing but no results are yet to arrive. On top of that recently one of the things that we had across India was the drumming or the rural strike that happened across India in which an estimated 200 million people have participated. In that you had trade unions, farmers movements across the country participating in strike across different sectors as well and in response to that very recently we have seen the government of the British the largest the most popular state in the country which is led by BJP obviously impose a six month ban on strikes for public servants pretty much because several public servants were part of the rural strike that actually took place yesterday. So in all in all we are seeing farmers continuing with the demands standing their ground. On the other hand we see significant repression from the government using all sorts of state machinery to make sure that they get scuttled they can to make sure that farmers do not reach Delhi the way they did a couple of years ago and you know at a time because it's quite close to the general elections that are set to happen between April and May and so they really do not want any kind of they do not want the optics of being seen as anti-farmers in a country where most of the world you know in a country that is mostly reliant on agriculture to sustain itself. So this is definitely a situation that the government is trying to diffuse or if not they will diffuse and trying to suppress it but in both cases the results are not in favor of the government right now while farmers continue to dug their heels dig their heels into their demands and stand their ground on the move right now. Thank you one second Anish we'll come back to you next week with more segments for Daily Debrief and that's all we have in today's episode we'll be back with a fresh Daily Debrief next week in the meanwhile do visit our website people's dispatch.org follow us on all the social media platforms and if you're watching this on YouTube please hit that subscribe button.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jaspyscasebreaks.com 2023 tops definitive baseball just sold out one boxer Here's your number 16 guys And here we go from a fresh case Ola So here's everybody that bought in we had a 13 team around another blog but Thank you to everybody that bought us straight up R&B was 13 teams, but not too many expensive teams really only a couple of the top there So it was a pretty inexpensive R&B actually Let's dig into this case guys Like I said, it is from a freshie. So we can run this back a couple times Middle or right so Let's see, which one we do here one two for the left middle three four five six right And it's a five One two three four five six So these would be for breaks 17 and 18 and I'll repulse another one of these right now Thick mama at the bottom there guys thick mama at the bottom So we want to see Maybe the nice little relic there at the bottom. All right, here we go First one is a Riley green 37 out of 50 for the 13 team R&B Tigers 37 out of 50 Spot seven is Matthew Solway Then we got a Brett Beatty to 25 for the Mets also part of the 13 team R&B 21 out of 25 Spot one that's going to add an errands How about another one for the R&B three straight patch autograph Buster Posey another one for spot one 31 out of 50 My god, hey R&B is killing this break so far Bought straight up. How about Corbin Carroll 33 out of 50 going to Joe in the Diamondbacks This has been a great box so far dual Relic patch autograph Aussie Smith and Scott Rowland nine out of ten for the Cardinals Going straight up to Ed Then we got a Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. Going to the Blue Jays Jeremy Smith and that looks like not numbered I'm going to cover up this next one because I don't want to see what it is I kind of want to be wild like you guys We got Fernando Tatis, Jr. 12 out of 40 That's for the Padres going to Steve Locke and Logan you're calling a batbarrow. Here we go I'm gonna call a piece of the cleat, but I'd like a batbarrow better. I guess It's actually this way. I think it's up and down No, it is a a protectors at the plate Joey Vaughn 23 out of 25 so Think actually it's it's part of the the elbow pad. I think Looks like it even looks like it's a photo match, too Since 90 rad to go into Dennis actually there you go, man. That's nice Some nice names. I feel like this was a really good rookie box You know getting that that bread baby the Riley green and the Corbin Carroll But for those bigger veteran teams like the Yankees angels, you know, etc. Braves Potentially even I mean there could be more rookies, but I feel like Next box or next two boxes could have a lot of big big ones hiding But this was a solid rookie box. I feel like with baby rally green, you know throwing a little veterans They're like Vladdie You know Hall of Famer's there Corbin Carroll rookie the year So yeah solid box, but like I said definitely feel like there could be some nicer ones in the next two So I'll repost this guys you guys can buy your teams tonight and Get this done. Hopefully tomorrow early. Thank you guys


City sweepers of Calaba, the cross over state capital, numbering about 100 today, eleted front of the governor's office with garbage in protest of the aforementioned unpaid salary. The protest led to obstruction of vehicular movement around the seat of power located on Leopard Road. The women told correspondents that the last time they were paid a monthly stipends was in December of 2022. Security personnel, including policemen, Department of Security Services, DSS, were seen trying to stop passers-by in journalists from taking pictures and making videos as they were allegedly apprehending onlookers and eleting the pictures from the devices. Commissioners say nobody will allow our money. Come complain the same thing, but they don't know it's your turn. Okay, as you tell them not to go, you talk say pexing go come back. Now, as you tell them not to go, people when they don't record with the that of a raw super-fights on them, they sweep. Then they pay them. But now I want to be no see, that my own children are put them for school. Okay, you, you not sweeper? Okay, so sweeper different records. Yes, okay, okay. So now that they pay records, but they don't pay sweepers. So sweepers, when they pay 15, oh, she had 10,000. That 10,000 there. I say we got the first time for, because of six months salary.

فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بابا دلا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل وأشد أن سيدنا والنبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد الحديث الثاني the second hadith في الصيام شر عن the second hadith is fasting what does it mean technically عن أبي هريرة رضي الله تعالى عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كل عمل ابن آدم يضاعف الحسنة بعشر أمثالها إلى سبع مئة ضعف قال الله عز وجل إلا الصوم فإنه لي وأنا أجزي به يدعو شهوته وطعامه من أجل متفق عليه this hadith it explains for us the meaning of fasting technically what does fasting mean fasting is an imsaq it is to withhold what does the religion understand as fasting that's what this topic is about what does Islam consider fasting what is fasting fasting is to withhold from food and it's also to withhold from drinking and it is also to withhold from your why تعبدا لله تعالى in worshipping Allah that's why you do it you are worshipping Allah in doing this واستجابة لأمره and you are following and submitting and adhering to his command ومسارعة لرضاه and you are hastening to pleasing him سبحانه وتعالى because in the hadith what did it say مين أجلي for my sake and in another wedding another رواية another wedding says يترك طعامه وشرابه وشهوته من أجل he leaves his food he's drinking his desires for my sake the meaning of شهوة is or the hadith when it said شهوة the word شهوة means الجماعة it means sexual intimacy sexual relationship and it could also mean ويحتمل المراد جميع الشهوات it could also mean all forms of desires and there's a rewired a wording which is in the book صحيح ابن خزيما ابن خزيما narrated this in which the prophet يدعو الطعامه leaves of food ويدعو الشرابه and he leaves of drinking ويدعو لذته and he leaves of his enjoying something ويدعو زوجته and he leaves of his wife ويدعو أجل for my sake so the hadith separated between what leaving of what you enjoy and leaving of your wife and as a side point some of the scholars they took from this hadith that one playing with their private part one playing with his private part that which then needs to to release this is something that will will take the same ruling as sexual intimacy yeah it takes the ruling as sexual intimacy there's a kafara an expiation that is placed on that individual because the hadith specifically mentions ويدعو لذته من أجل ويدعو زوجته من أجل the Quran has shown the time of fasting from one to one الله تبارك وتعالى he said وَكُولُوا وَشَرَبُوا حَتَّا يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُوا مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْعِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُوا الصِّيامَ إِلَا الْلَّيْنِ الله says eat and drink until the white rope becomes clear from the black rope in other words from the sunset from dawn or sunrise to sunset ضلوع الفجر and we carry on until night so the leaving of food in this hadith and the leaving of drinking in this hadith and the leaving of your sexual relationship with your wife is meant in this period of time so you are allowed to drink after Salat Al-Maghrib you are allowed to eat after Salat Al-Maghrib and yes you are allowed to have sexual relationship with your family after Salat Al-Maghrib eating and drinking means what does it mean in this hadith to eat and drink it means إصال الطعامي to make the food reach or the drinking to reach إِلَا الْجَوْفِتِ your stomach إِذَا ثُرُّ your mouth or your nose and it does not matter what type of food it is and it doesn't matter what type of drinking or whatever you're drinking it doesn't matter as for injections in which doctors give to a patient who is sick which is for medical reasons where a person takes a pill and it is put behind the scholars they differ on this تَوَا مَوضِعُ خِلافِمْ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْعِلِمْ the scholars they differ on this some of the scholars they see that it is what that it is it breaks your fasting and there are those who say no this matter needs detailed explanation وَمِنْهُمَّ يُفَسِّلْ especially if the injection or the pill leads to the person becoming energised just like when you eat food the energy that you get from it if the injection and the syringe that's being used or the pill that you're taken from behind is making you strong and is giving you energy and it's playing like the role of a food the scholars they speak about that in details if you want you can see it in the book الفتاوة المتعلقة بالطب وحكام المرضا or a book other books which the Fuqaha in which they deal with it but what is better for this patient and the sick person is that if he can delay it فإن أخارها صائمه the one who is fasting if he can delay it and push it back to the night time is more safer for him without a doubt because he leaves off this argument and this disputation that the scholars are differing on because the Hadith of the Prophet says دع ما يفعل he says دع ما يريبك إلى ما لا يريبك stay away from that which there is doubt in it and go to that which there is clarity and there is no doubt in it and of course the Hadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم فمن اتقى الشبهات فقد استبرى أليلي وعرضي anyone who stays away from the doubt for things for verily he has what he has freed and he's protected his religion and his honor but if the patient is in need of it and he is sick then the reality is that he shouldn't even be fasting at all as for the injections that do not إن شاء الله تعالى that don't give you any form of energy and they're just a form of medication إن شاء الله what is apparent is that إن شاء الله تعالى it doesn't break your fasting because it's not a form of energy it just only goes into the stomach or it goes into your system but it doesn't give you any form of what? إن شاء الله تعالى and there is no harm for the person to use the inhaler whilst he is fasting there is no problem for him to use it from the strongest opinions of the scholars and the people of knowledge the reason is because this inhaler which the inhaler right in which the person is taking يجب أن تأخذ السموك و السموك لا تأخذ السموك في كل شيء. يأخذ السموك before it goes to the stomach. The person taking kuhl. Men or women are allowed to. kuhl is eyeliner. صحيح؟ On the eye. Because sometimes if you take a lot of it, you can taste it from your throat. The eyeliner, the kuhl. It won't break your fast. It does not break your fast. Anything a person tries to put up their nose. It breaks your fast. Because of the Hadith of Laqita ibn Sabirah. The Hadith of Laqita ibn Sabirah. رضي الله تعالى عنه. In which Abu Dawood and Tirmidhi al-Nasa'i and Ibn Maja and other than them narrated it and Tirmidhi said هذا حديث حسن صحيح which the Prophet ﷺ has said وبالغ فلسطين شاق let the router go deep into your nose إلا أن تكون صائما only if you're fasting. Only if you're fasting. So sometimes these people who clean their nose out who put things in there they should stay away from it. We'll stop there for this Hadith إن شاء الله تعالى اللهم فقهنا في ديننا ورزقنا العمل به والاستقامة عليه ويسرنا للسرى وجنبنا العسرى سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله استغفرك واتوب إليه


It looked like it hopped up higher than you anticipated. Did it take a little bit of a bad hop at the last moment there? I don't think good or feel there's going to bad hop. So that's on me. Gashioka was just talking about Gossman's splitter and just how difficult that pitch is to pick up from your vantage point when you were in the batter's box. Just how tough was that pitch? Yeah, he's a really good arm. And he's got plus stuff. The splitter's definitely plus, maybe plus plus. So I felt like our approach was pretty good. But when he's executing, he's got to try and battle. And did you get on a pretty good stretch lately? I bet it's way prior to today. But how are you feeling in general at the play game? Yeah, good. Like I said, I feel like going into the games, the scouting and everything in the process has definitely been good. So regardless of the results, I feel like if we keep stacking days like that, stacking pitches, stacking up bats, then everything else will come. As there are three guys down the line up and I think have scored three or fewer in eight-year last 10 games, what do you attribute that to? And I guess you'd like to get the hole at some point there. What's that? I said, what do you attribute that to? You guys have scored three or fewer runs in eight-year last 10 games. I know you have some guys on the injured list. I guess you'd like to get your lineup hole at some point. What would you attribute this to? No, I think it's just the ebbs and flows of baseball. It's a long season. And like I said, I feel like if we just continue doing what we're doing, everything else will come around. And I don't think anyone's really definitely not panicking, but we're just going to keep working.


In the run-up to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, crowds lined Edinburgh's royal mile for the arrival of the Queen's Baton Relay at the Scottish Parliament. Scottish rugby legend Gavin Hastings handed the baton to fundraiser Lynne McNichol. Residing officer Trisha Marwick in his dream welcomed Lynne and the baton to the Parliament building. In the garden lobby they were entertained by the big song relay choir singing a specially commissioned song, Here's to All Our Commonwealths. They then had a look at an exhibition of photos of the baton's travels to date. Joined by Gavin Hastings they made their way up to the debating chamber where MSPs and the public were given a chance to see the baton close up. All too soon the baton had to leave Parliament. Outside it was handed over to athlete Susan Jackson who was to take it on the next stage of its journey.


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. I am Paranjoy Gohatakurtha and we are now going to discuss whether the government of India is attempting to quote-unquote read the treasury. For some years now, the Ministry of Finance has been less seriously eyeing the reserves of the country's central bank and APEX monetary authority, that is the Reserve Bank of India and it is now also looking into the money that the country's financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India has. A committee has been set up. The committee is reportedly submitted its report to discuss what this report may contain and what it means for this ongoing tussle between North Block, where the Ministry of Finance is headquartered and Minstreet, the headquarters of the Reserve Bank of India. What this really means for the country's economy. Let me welcome Abhik Parman. Abhik is an old friend. He has 26 years of work experience on the political economy. Thank you so much, Abhik. Tell me, you recently wrote an article in the Economic Times on the 18th of July saying New Delhi must reform instead of picking Mumbai's pocket. Would you like to summarize what you wanted to say in that column you wrote? Essentially, what I wanted to say for Anjai was that the RBI has some balances and it's not a small number. It's 9.8 lakh crore. Let's say 10 lakh crore. Yeah, 9.8 trillion. That's a huge amount of money. Yes. 190 lakh crore is the GDP and the RBI reserves, as you are pointing out, is coming to about 10. So, where does that get us? 5 percent. That's a lot. Yes. So, the thing is that in general, the economy, overall economy is slowing. Every sector we've seen signs of distress. Now, in this scenario, I mean the year that will end in March, we have seen a 1 lakh crore shortfall in GST, which is the... Collections of the goods and services stacks. Yes. However, we have budgeted for 1 lakh crore in disinvestments. Over the last 10 years in one year, no government has been able to disinvest 1 lakh crore. So, there are all kinds of things, numbers which are being fudged deliberately or probably to make the surface numbers look pretty... I mean, the former chief economic adviser has even questioned the rate of growth of our GDP. Yes. And he's repeated it today, again. That's correct. That he disagrees with those who don't believe him. Yeah. Includes Dr. Bebek Debroy of the... Yes. Who heads the Prime Minister's economic adviser. Absolutely. So, this data per se, I mean, but that's a different story that this data fudging or data false data or unbelievable data, that was the monopoly of China, but China has recently released data which shows that at 6.2 percent growth, it is a lowest growth for 27 years. So, if China has no hassle about releasing bad data like that, I don't see why India's employment data cannot be released, why we are not honest about... But beyond that, I think... So, there are so many gaps in funding and we typically announce in our excitement so many new projects and we allocate some from big to small to all the projects, but how will you fund it? The one option is to borrow. Yes, let the deficit go. Don't stick to the FRBM target and in a slowing economy, it might be a good option. Yeah. And for the benefit of our viewers, FRBM is the fiscal responsibility and budget management act, yes. Yes. So, here they want to do this off the books. See, so that the FRBM artificially looks fine at 3.4 percent or something. However, you make... You borrow money from PSUs. Public sector undertakings, yes. You ask them to give bigger... That's right. So, the oil subsidies being borne by the oil and natural gas corporation, the food subsidies being borne by the food corporation of India. That's right. And therefore, 10 lakh crore just lying there with the RBI, I think it's too much of a temptation for government. Okay. Now, hear me out. In December 2018, the government of India set up a committee headed by the former governor of the Reserve Bank of India, Dr. Memal Jalan, Rajasabha and the members of the committee include the former deputy governor, Dr. Rakesh Mohan and the members of the central board, there were two of them, Bharath Doshi, Sudhir Mankad, deputy governor NS Vishwanathan and above all, finance secretary Subhash Chandra Garg. Now, according to the media leaks that have come out, Mr. Garg has sent a dissenting note. That's right. Because the rest of the committee members apparently want to give money to the government in a staggered manner over the next three to five years. Yes. Whereas Mr. Garg would like it at one go. Yes. That may not be the only point of contention. It could also be the quantum of money that we don't know yet. What quantum has the Jalan committee suggested? Now, yes, Jalan's this gradualist approach is fine. If you have to do it, don't do it fast. Do it slowly over the next three to five years. Because right now, to do it in one go and take so a significant amount of the arduous assets or reserves away from it might signal to outside, well, they're not really, they're speculators. Right. Would you call, I mean, is it speculators or it's the rest of the world? I mean, is it like? Yes, yes. Of course. Credit rating agencies to take a crack at the rupee. Let's see if you can break it. Right. Especially with this new thing coming up, the dollar denominated bonds, sovereign bonds. So, we have to be very, very careful that we have enough ammunition to fight off these rates. Okay. Now, let's look at what has actually been happening. The surplus capital of the Reserve Bank of India, which has been transferred to the government over the years, came down from roughly, from 65,876 crores in 2016-17 to 40,659 crores the following year. Then, it jumps up again, goes up to 68,000 crores in 2018-19. That includes an interim transfer of dividend about 28,000 crores. Now, if you look at the current financial year, the expectations are that this will go up to 90,000 crores. If you look at the receipts budget, the dividend or surplus of the Reserve Bank of India and nationalized banks and financial institutions put together, they are showing a rise of, it's coming to about 1.06 lakh crores, 1.06 trillion in 1920, which is more than, it's about 23,000 crores more than what was given in the interim budget in February 2017. Now, what do you make out of these figures? I think the crucial figure which the government is using to justify this kind of rate on the Reserve Bank of India is that the RBI's surplus as a percentage of its total assets, which includes the money it lends out for a bank, the lending is also part of its assets, is 28 percent. And they say that globally, this average is 14 percent. So, half of that? Half of that. Now, my point is… The proportion of the gross assets of the central bank? That's right. Held as surplus, so 28 percent for the RBI, 14 percent globally. Now, globally, this number actually makes no sense because globally will include America. America does not have massive reserves, it doesn't need them because it is the reserve currency of the world. Who is going to attack the dollar? What are you going to attack the dollar with? Which currency? I mean, it's a long way before the euro, I mean, forget the euro, even the yuan can hope to go after the dollar. We have 430 billion in reserves we are holding to fight off an attack. America holds us 126 billion and an economy which is the largest in the world. So, this average doesn't make sense? This average doesn't make sense because then you have to go down, if you take a world average, then you go down to Togo and Mali and so on and so forth. Where the holdings are tiny? But you know, Arvind Subramaniam, the former chief economic advisor who is now an antagonist as far as this government is concerned because he's saying you've inflated your GDP growth rate by 2.5 percent, not just the NDA government but the previous UPA government the last three years or four. He recommended, I mean, he said that there is scope for more transfer of the Reserve Bank of India's reserves to the government of India, the consolidated fund of India. Now, this has been opposed by at least two governors of the Reserve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan and Urjit Patel. And let's also remember that this is not the first time this matter is coming up. There have been at least three committees in the past, 1997, V. Subramaniam committee, 2004, Usha Thorat committee, 2013, Y. H. Malikham committee. All three committees have deliberated on this whole issue of what should be the total proportion of the Reserve Bank of India's gross assets that should be transferred to the government of India, the consolidated fund of India. See, I have no problem with having a new committee because things on the ground change. 97 is not 2019. So, it's okay. I mean, have a new committee by all means. But I think the main problem here is that if you weaken or if you lower your defenses against a very turbulent world, the world is in crisis today because two gigantic elephants are fighting. That is the US and China. There is a trade war. And now it is a tariff war. So, expectations are that it will go into a currency war. So, they will start attacking each other's currencies.  And you believe because of the tensions in West Asia, even the oil markets are very volatile. Very volatile. So, I think this is really not the time to say that the government will take money out of the RBI because it sends out a signal. And these markets, speculative markets, move very fast on signals. So, the signal going out to these guys, who will be the raiders, is that to the defenses are going down. Now, recently, when this matter came up, I mean, you know, there has been some tension between the Reserve Bank of India and North Block. There was this whole issue of Sector 7 of the Reserve Bank of India Act. Now, the then finance minister, Mr. Runjaitly, said, let us have a discussion on this. And he objected to the phrase, a raid on the treasury. He said, this money is after all being used for the poor of this country. It is going to be used for recapitalization of banks. So, why are we, I mean, Mr. Jaitly said this at a public meeting on the 18th of December.  See, the disturbing fact is that the goal of money managers or bankers is very different from, or economists for that matter, is very different from the goals of a politician. A politician is a short-term phenomenon. He or she knows that there is five years. And if I get another five years, I have to win a victory, right, win the polls. So, for them, the fiscal health is a secondary or a tertiary issue. For the banker, the main issue is to protect your balance sheet. And for the reserve bank, it is to protect India's balance sheet, right. So, if that responsibility is diluted by our political class here in Delhi, saying that, yes, there is nothing, we will take, let's say, half of your reserves. You make up for it later. But you take away half of these reserves when the world is heading towards the cliff and you expect RBI to do its job. It makes our economy vulnerable. That's what you want. Absolutely. Okay.  But let's look at another small part of the story because compared to the reserve bank of India, the surplus of the securities and exchange board of India is very small. To use your word, peanuts is 31,000 crores. But there is a proposal to amend the finance act and create a reserve fund from this general fund that the SEBI has. Which will go into the consolidated. That's correct. Quarter of it, 25% of it. SEBI gets this money by charging, for various services it provides to various participants in the financial markets. But Ajay Tyagi, the current head of the securities and exchange board of India, has apparently written a letter protesting against this move to the ministry of finance, to the minister of finance on the ground that it would again make SEBI the market regulator vulnerable and erode its autonomy. You agree with what he says? I do, I do because SEBI was never intended to be part of the government. SEBI is like RBI. It's a statutory institution with guaranteed independence. Now this government, this government, especially they've been trying to erode this. First, by setting up this monetary policy committee to work with the RBI on setting interest rates.  Here in SEBI, if SEBI has to go and ask the government permission before making any investments, capital investments, and the government has the right to hold back permission, then that immediately develops a relationship of power that the reins are held by the government. SEBI is the sort of agent. So the market regulators autonomy gets eroded. Absolutely. One. Second, SEBI's other, more intelligent and more thoughtful point is that if it is, if these, see these are monies which are paid by as fees, brokerage fees, these terminal fees and very small transaction fees, but they adapt to a lot of money and they help to keep SEBI going to hire the employees to whatever, try money, whatever is required. So now once this money goes directly to the consolidated fund of India, which belongs to the government. The government didn't use it for whatever it wants. No. All the, all the players in the market, they will interpret this as another tax because see, I pay, SEBI doesn't get, I pay, Sarkar gets. All right. It's a tax, straight. Now, if it is a tax, then the government has a perverse incentive to maximize returns from the tax. So from 0.1%, they might do 0.125%. All right. So in conclusion, if I can ask you for your concluding remarks, to believe that both the attempt to get more money out of the Reserve Bank of India at one go and also what has been done to the securities and exchange board of India represent this government's attempt to constrain the autonomy of two important institutions, which are responsible for the working of the financial sector and in fact the economy as a whole. 100%. 100%. This is an attack on very important, very sensitive financial institutions and it can't just be an ego battle. I mean, if we take it as such, then, I mean, the consequences can be terrible. Thank you so much, Avik for coming here and giving us your views. You just heard senior journalist Avik Barman talking about how the government is trying to make money out of the Central Bank and Apex Monetary Authority, the Reserve Bank of India, as well as the country's financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India. Thank you for being with us on this program and keep watching NewsClick.


Magna Carta becomes, if you like, the white noise of political discourse throughout the 17th century. At the start of that century, figures like Sir Edward Cook, great constitutional lawyers, use it in very technical battles between sort of the common law rights of the individual and the king's tyrannical prerogative. By the end of the century, having passed through turbulence of revolution where Magna Carta has been used to justify powerful and sometimes very dangerous resistance to all forms of authority, Magna Carta has become, if you like, the statute that underpins the ancient constitution and the legitimacy of proper government in the UK. Magna Carta was used by the parliamentarians who were struggling against the Stuart kings who believed that they had absolute power. After James died, Charles I came to power and he believed that he had utter and absolute power and when parliament reached for Magna Carta and took their stand on Magna Carta there are limits to your power, they said to the king. And the king, they forced the king initially to agree to the petition of right, later the declaration of right which encapsulated Magna Carta and brought back Magna Carta out of real obscurity. Sir Edward Cook is really responsible for turning what was a rather dull mainstream legal document into a text that justified resistance against the tyrannous use of prerogative by 1st James I and then Charles I. And the essential argument was that Magna Carta protected the freedoms, the lives, liberties and estates of men, free men. Magna Carta became real 400 years ago. In 1628, 1642 it was Magna Carta was the standard under which parliament fought the Civil War and established the real liberties of the subject, the independence of the judiciary an end of torture, abolishing star chamber and the king's power to to irrigate to himself the right to punish people. This was the legacy of Magna Carta, Magna Carta revived and reinterpreted. I think over the course of the long 17th century Magna Carta changed from being a pretty technical elite constitutional legal document very powerful, very important in the ins of court and even perhaps in parliamentary terms to a resource that all sorts of interest groups, whether they were marginal, economic, sort of poor people using Magna Carta to justify resisting paying taxes or radical profits by the end of the 17th century Magna Carta is such a public myth almost that if you want legitimacy in terms of public debate you have to anchor it to your project.


There's a couple instances where they'll try to seat belt a little bit, and by seat belt I mean they're going to bring their leg across my body and try to hang out and stall there. A lot of times when I try to scoot my hips away, they'll block my elbow and recover hips. I'm going to show you a trick for the top position. After we get to the end of leg defense, I'm going to show you a trick on the top position. It really, really, really helps, but I want to keep stepping through this stuff. So now, a lot of times those guys on top, they'll scoot and block with the elbow. So I get to my leg right here. He goes strong position, pushes back, and gets to his hip smash position right here. Again, I got top hand. Now a lot, what we're going to do next is he's going to dig his heels in the mat. He's going to scoot his hips away, but in a circle. Yeah, see how he scooted his hips away in a circle? So this is what I want you to think about. When we scoot our hips away in a circle, it's a big bite here. Right there. That's my motion. So everybody get on your right hip, right elbow, dig those heels, take a big bite.   Okay?   This is what happens, okay? Because I'm creating space. I'm creating space. So boot comes in, block, strong position, clear top hand. I get top hand cleared, heels in the mat, scoot, all right? See how low I got? Man, now when I pop this out right here, I'm in pretty good shape. I got a lot of options, okay? But what happens a lot of times is when we're here and put him outside and try to create some space, he'll take his right hand and V-block my elbow. Right? And then I can't turn, I can't create an angle. So I'm trying to scoot and he's following and he's blocking my elbow. Right?  Everybody see that? I'm going to come under and grab his wrist. Now, as I grab his wrist here, I'm getting both arms under right here. And all I'm thinking about doing is trapping his shoulder to the mat with my shoulder. I'm not even really, I'm not hip-heisting yet. I'm driving, trapping his shoulder to the mat, then I'm getting my butt up right here. And then I'm just climbing his arm, eating my butt up, and working back into it. Okay? Anytime that guy's blocking my elbow, I'm just reaching under my elbow, pulling the arm, and then swimming under. Like I'm getting kind of like a barrel roll dump position. All right? So that boot comes in, strong position, block, pressure back, pressure back. Okay? This position right here. I'm scooting, he's blocking that elbow. I reach under, attack the wrist right here. I pull it to me, get my opposite arm under, right here. Okay? If he wants to throw that topside boot, I can throw that boot out and scissor my legs and then come back to trapping his shoulder. See, I'm driving my shoulder into his armpit, then I'm just climbing the arm. Once I trap him there, he's a little bit trouble. Then I'm just looking to get across the body right here and rest. All right? If I can trap him flat on his butt or trap him on his shoulder, I'm in pretty good shape there. But I'm reaching under, pulling through, attacking high on the arm. Then I'm driving my shoulder into his armpit. Come on, Lucas, so you can see it. And again, I'm scooting in a circle. He blocks my elbow. I reach under. Okay? Boot's coming in. Boom, block. Pressure back. And man, really focus on fighting inside here. So he doesn't even get that topside hand in. Right here. I'm getting my feet in the map, scooting here. Trying to get away. Trying to get to this. He's blocking my elbow. I'm reaching under. All right? Notice my chest is still facing down. I'm reaching under, attacking the wrist. Then I'm getting under his arm, pulling it tight. Okay? Now, scissor in my legs, getting my shoulder in his armpit right here. I'm just climbing his arm. But up tall, getting across the body right there. All right? Questions? Can you see how I'm working on it? Sure. This is the key. All right? Just getting normal reference position. This is the key. He's blocking my elbow to block it. He's blocking my elbow. Coming under. Under. Trapping that shoulder to the map. So one more time. So he's moving in.  Block, block, block. Right here. Okay? This position right here. I'm squeezing and blocking each other. Got a wrist. All right? Right here. Scissor. I'm crossing.
