Good evening aspirants. Welcome to the Hindu news analysis by Shankaray's Academy for the date 5th August 2020. These are the list of news articles chosen for today's analysis. It has been provided along with the page numbers of different editions of Hindu newspaper. The link for the handwritten notes in the PDF format and the time stamping for the displayed articles is given in the description box and also in the comments section. Let's move on to the first news article discussion for today. Our first discussion for today is based on this news article which talks about the Odisha government's plan to start cage fishing. The government of Odisha has come out with a new policy to promote cage culture in the medium and large reservoirs. Now this new policy has been framed because there is a high demand and consumption of freshwater fishes in the state. Now when you come across new methods of technologies related to cultivation, production, animal rearing or anything related to agriculture, please take note of it because we can expect direct questions on these new methods in mains examination and also in prelims examination. So in this context only it becomes important to know about cage culture and the government policy towards it. The syllabus relevant to this discussion is given here for your reference. First you should know that fish can be cultured in one of the four culture systems and they include ponds, raceways, recirculating systems or cages. Now here the raceway aquaculture is also known as flow through system. It is a system which uses a continuously running source of water or an artificial channel of water to grow fish. And then in recirculating aquaculture systems the water is reused many times by passing it through treatment processes so that the waste can be removed and the quality of the water can be restored. But today's discussion is based on caged aquaculture. So what does it mean? In a caged aquaculture system the fish or even the shellfish is grown in a mesh enclosure as you can see here. So this cage has a completely rigid frame. This means they are generally enclosed on all sides except for leaving an opening at the top for feeding and handling the stock that is the fishes or the shellfishes. And this cage culture uses existing water resources such as ponds, rivers, estuaries, open ocean also. But more importantly it confines the fish inside some type of mesh enclosure. Now since the mesh retains the fish it makes it easier to feed, observe and harvest those fishes. Now since this mesh enclosure is not an opaque structure it allows the water to pass freely between the fish and the surrounding water resources. And thus it helps to maintain good quality water and it also helps in removing the wastes. So what are the advantages of this caged aquaculture? Firstly they require comparatively low capital outlay because they use existing water bodies. So there is no need for us to build an artificial channel of water and they use simple technology. There is no need for any specialized knowledge to use this method. Then this method augments fish yield because it optimizes the use of all available water area and then it also helps to reduce the pressure on land for farms and nurseries. Then another advantage is that this method can be used to clean up the eutrophicated waters by harvesting of caged plantivorous species. See as you know eutrophication means excessive richness of nutrients in a water body which happens due to frequent runoff from the land and this causes dense growth of plant life. Like you would have seen green algal growth on a water body. Now this can be cleaned up by harvesting caged plantivorous species. See plantivorous species means those organisms which feed on planktonic food including zooplankton and phytoplankton. And this method is currently practiced in Malaysia and Singapore. Then apart from this other advantages include a very high production per unit area then it facilitates for towing off in case of pollution that is if the water gets polluted then the cage can be easily moved from one place to another then provides a safety from predators then the fish is easy to harvest in a caged aquaculture. So like this there are many advantages in this method. Now what are the disadvantages in this method? See there are concerns about the environmental impacts of these methods. Firstly the intensive culture is believed to accelerate eutrophication. See just now we saw that eutrophicated water can be cleaned up but only when we harvest plantivorous species. So what about when other species are grown? So because of this experts believe that intensive caged aquaculture accelerates eutrophication and then in fast flowing rivers intensive fish culture or semi intensive fish culture is not advisable because there will be excessive loss of feed that is there will be food losses since the food will be washed away easily in a fast flowing river or fast flowing water body. Then other disadvantages include high demand on oxygen and water flow then dependence on artificial food because since the fish will be caged the producer would have to provide the artificial food then there is also risk of rapid spread of diseases since the fish is in a caged environment. Then already natural waters are used for many multipurposes and this method could come in conflict with those purposes also. So these are some of the disadvantages of this method. Now what is the scope of this caged aquaculture in India? See here you should note that in the last five decades the contribution of marine fish in the total production of the country has decreased. It has decreased from 71 percentage in 1950s to 35 percentage in 2015. See here note that marine fisheries are carried out in oceans and seas including bays and eschewries but inland fisheries or inland fishing are carried out in freshwater and this decline has happened due to a corresponding increase in inland fish production. Now since India is rich in open water resources like reservoirs, lakes, and flood plain wetlands etc. there is enormous scope in India to increase the production through caged aquaculture. Now in this regard we should know that unplanned expansion of any activity can lead to adverse impacts in terms of environmental integrity and social equity because it this could lead to over exploitation. So that means we need a proper guideline to carry out this method of culture system and because of this Indian government constituted a national level committee to develop guidelines for caged culture in inland open waters. It was constituted in April 2016 and they brought some guidelines with respect to caged culture. So we will see that now. Firstly they talk about the shape and type of cages such as the shape can be rectangular or round but round cages are considered more suitable for caged aquaculture. Then durable and stable cage materials are essential for achieving better results. Then second they also talk about the most important aspect of this which is site selection. According to the guidelines large deep reservoirs and lakes need to be chosen for caged aquaculture and the small and shallow water bodies should not be chosen for caged aquaculture. It is because small water bodies do not have sufficient depths for the cages to remain afloat during the lean season that is when the water flow is less and importantly the sites should be selected based on the safety of location and based on the availability of smooth culture operations that would minimize user conflicts. So because of this the guidelines mention that those sites should be avoided which have turbulence wave or excessive wave which have bad water quality and which are near to dense human habitations and even dams should be avoided for caged culture. Now next is water quality. Water quality is important to ensure that the fish is healthy. So according to this guidelines it needs to be ensured that the water body is either oligotrophic that is it is low nutrient content or it is mesotrophic that is it has moderate nutrient content and this has to be made sure before starting the caged culture. It is because the caged culture operations will increase nutrient load it will increase the biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand in the water bodies. Now this point is important since excessive nutrient load from caged culture inputs such as especially the feeds that is the food for the fish can create eutrophic conditions with disastrous consequences to the ecosystem and because of this the guidelines also suggest that there is a necessity to conduct an environment impact assessment before cages are installed in reservoirs. Then the guidelines mandate that continuous fish health monitoring is required and as far as possible use of antibiotics and chemicals should be avoided while using this method so that we can maintain the water quality and we can also maintain the health of the fish which will be ultimately consumed by humans. In this discussion we discussed about a new method known as caged culture or caged aquaculture we saw what are its advantages and disadvantages and we also saw the guidelines provided by Indian government regarding this with this we come to the end of this discussion the displayed practice question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next discussion this discussion is based on this opid article which focuses on the alleged human rights violations in the Jammu and Kashmir valley. Now the author of this article mentions about several rights violations relating to preventive detention then such as difficulty in accessing information through internet etc but today we'll focus on the issues related to preventive detention only the syllabus relevant to this discussion is given here for your reference see first let us understand preventive detention and related constitutional and legal provisions when we talk about constitutional provisions the fundamental right provided under article 22 Indian constitution explicitly mentions about preventive detention this article deals with protection against arrest and detention in certain cases see there are two types of detention one is punitive detention and the other one is preventive detention punitive is to punish a person after trial and conviction in a court has happened for offense which is committed by that person but preventive detention is to detain a person without trial and conviction but this doesn't mean that the person is punished for a past offense it simply means preventing that person from committing an offense so that means preventive detention is a precautionary measure and according to article 22 of Indian constitution no law can provide for preventive detention of a person for more than three months without obtaining opinion of advisory board that is if the government wants to detain any person under preventive detention for more than three months then it has to constitute a advisory board and such advisory board should consist of persons who are or who have been judges of high court or at least who are qualified to be appointed as judges of high court and in this article clause 5 is very important because it mentions that when a person is under preventive detention then the authority shall communicate to such person about the grounds on which the preventive detention order has been made that is the person has to be informed about the grounds on which she or he has been detained and this has to be done as soon as possible now such person should also be provided with an opportunity of making representation against this order now since these two important provisions are given in article 22 it is a part of fundamental right for that person first the person has to be informed about the grounds on which they have been detained and second they should be provided with an opportunity to make representation now regarding this also know that Indian constitution has empowered both parliament and the state legislatures to make laws regarding preventive detention because first entry nine of union list deals with preventive detention but it is for the reasons connected with the defense foreign affairs or the security of India and persons subjected to such detention and then again in entry three of the concurrent list there is a mention of preventive detention and this preventive detention is for reasons connected with the security of a state for maintenance of public order or for the maintenance of supplies and services essential to the community and also related to the persons who are detained now since preventive detention subject is also mentioned in concurrent list state governments are also empowered to make laws on it now based on this only currently there are preventive detention laws already enforced in our country such as the national security act of 1980 then you'd have heard about the German-Kesmer public safety act of 1978 especially this German-Kesmer public safety act or in short PSA of 1978 it was repeatedly used or it is even repeatedly used to detain many politicians in German-Kesmer so this is the background that you should know with respect to preventive detention now coming to this editorial in this author has mentioned that the state is empowered to declare a building or house as a sub jail that is subsidiary jail now this power is given to the state government by the prisons act of 1894 under this act prison also means any place which has been declared by the state government to be a subsidiary jail and this has to be declared by a general order or a special order so this is how the residential accommodations of some political leaders are converted into subjails and after this the resident of that residential accommodation comes under house arrest now in this case what happens is the state government or the state takes over the property for this purpose and the owner of this property is entitled to rent or compensation for the use of that property and for occupying that property that is there is compulsory takeover of the property now this compulsory takeover of property has been an issue of great concern in states like Mizoram because their vast tracts of land were taken over by the armed forces for curbing insurgency but they were taken over without paying any compensation or rent and according to the author the residents of german cashmere are also facing similar issues now so this is one of the issues with respect to preventive detention then another issue is ignoring the procedural safeguards provided under the fundamental right of article 22 for preventive detention for example we already saw that it is the fundamental right of the person to be communicated about the grounds of the arrest and the person has to be given opportunity to make representations but author is stating that this is not happening so what is supreme court's stand on this see on several occasions supreme court has mentioned that if there is an unexpected delay of even one or two days in dealing with the representation then the order of preventive detention is initiated or not legally valid that means the person can no longer be held in preventive detention and in this scenario you should know about one important supreme court judgment which was given in a 1981 case law it is the ak roy versus union of india case law now in this judgment supreme court mentioned that the laws of preventive detention cannot introduce procedural measures of punitive kind by the way of backdoor that is by using indirect means so what does supreme court mean here by saying introducing procedural measures of punitive kind here supreme court also gave an example such as if a person is kept in detention in a place other than the one where the person habitually resides then this amounts to punitive measure or a measure of a punitive kind and further supreme court also noted that the use of preventive detention without following the procedure will actually make it punishment or conviction without a trial and as we know it is our fundamental right not to be punished or convicted without trial so such kind of measures which violate the preventive detention procedures like keeping a person in a place other than where he or she habitually resides then it outrightly violates the fundamental right under article 22 so keep this in mind that is all about this discussion in this discussion you should focus on the constitutional and legal provisions related to preventive detention and then whenever you see your main question related to preventive detention you can also mention about this supreme court judgment with this we come to the end of this discussion the displayed practice question will be discussed in the last session now this next discussion is based on this news article which talks about United Nations recent policy brief on the pandemic's impact on education so in this context we'll discuss in brief about the major findings of UN which are mentioned in this policy brief the policy brief noted that COVID-19 pandemic has caused the largest disruption of education in history because it has created a universal impact on learners and also on teachers around the world the policy brief also noted that by mid-april 2020 94 percentage of learners worldwide were affected by the pandemic it also mentioned the early 2020 estimate of the financing gap in education to reach the sustainable development goal number four the financing gap was a shocking 148 billion dollars annually and now it is estimated that the COVID-19 crisis will increase this financing gap by up to one-third in this context know that sdg-4 is to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all now in this regard the policy brief also noted that this interruption of the school year will have a disproportionately negative impact on the most vulnerable pupils from poor economic background and moreover their presence at home can also complicate the economic situation of parents because they have to take care of the children who are at home and with special concern the policy brief also tells about the condition of girls in this regard we can imagine the condition of girls who are forced to take up domestic chores and farm works also children with disabilities and refugee children are suffering due to the lack of inclusion in the strategies for distance learning so because of this they are also losing on the education and more importantly the policy brief mentions about the economic impact of COVID-19 on education it mentions that the pandemic will widen the inequities in education achievement in this regard UNESCO has estimated that around 23.8 million additional children and youth may drop out of school or they will not have access to school next year due to the pandemic's economic impact alone now we know that there are many indirect consequences of dropouts which is also noted by this policy brief like it includes food insecurity due to loss of school meals then economic instability due to lack of education then violence against women and girls etc etc now this disruption also concerns health and psychological services because as you know some education institutions also serve as platforms for prevention diagnosis and counseling so based on these findings UN has called for some action areas to revamp the education system in the world first schools should be reopened by taking steps to suppress the virus transmission secondly education should be given priority in financing decisions of the governments and international communities and it should be done by strengthening domestic resource mobilization and also by international coordination for mitigating the crisis in education sector and thirdly there should be focus on equity and inclusion so in this regard target should be on the hardest to reach that is to reach the children from remote areas to reach girls to reach children's with disabilities etc and finally the governments should accelerate a positive change in teaching and learning this means that there should be focus on addressing learning losses and preventing dropouts the policy brief also prescribes to remove the technological barriers by investing in digital infrastructure and by lowering connectivity costs so that even the children who are hardest to reach can be benefited from digital education so that is all about this discussion from this discussion you have to take note on the impacts of covid-19 on education which is very helpful from main's perspective and finally we also saw some suggestions from UN you can also mention these in your main's answers whenever a relevant question appears with this we come to the end of this discussion moving on to the next discussion based on these news articles these news articles and this editorial discusses about the recent executive order by US president it is an executive order on the aligning federal contracting and hiring practices with the interests of American workers so in this context let us what this order is about and what are its implications the syllabus relevant to this discussion is given here for your reference on 3rd august the office of US president has issued an executive order this order has given directions to the federal agencies of USA to review their policy of contracting or subcontracting foreign workers and this includes those on H1B visa see here for your reference we have given you the contractors role and subcontractors role you can just read it for your understanding now this move by USA is yet another example for US protectionism if you see from a broader perspective because for the past several years under current administration of Donald Trump we have been seeing many measures to protect the interests of Americans and this is one such measure and for this purpose the current US administration has largely targeted the intro of skilled foreign workers with number of announcements like in April 2020 US announced that it would be suspending the issuance of green cards which in turn halts the legal migration into USA then in June 2020 also USA decided to suspend a new issuance of four non-immigrant visas till the end of 2020 and one such visa which was suspended is the H1B visa other visas are H2B visa J category visa and L category visa if you remember we discussed about these categories in detail on our 24th June can the news analysis on that day we also saw about the implications of this move on Indians now similarly this latest executive order by USA is also going to affect H1B visa holders in particular now for defending this move USA has noted that the contract jobs create opportunities for US workers but when employers trade such American jobs for temporary foreign labor like to those who hold H1B visa then it reduces the opportunities for US workers and this executive order is especially targets federal agencies because in certain regions of USA the federal agencies are the largest employers and this is the reason given by USA for defending its current executive order see the background for this order is an announcement made by federally owned Tennessee Valley authority this Tennessee Valley authority has recently announced that it would outsource 20 percentage of its technology jobs to companies which are based in foreign countries so threatened by this order that even other federal agencies will follow the same which might in turn reduce opportunities for Americans the current US administration has issued this executive order so what are the implications of this move by USA see this executive order particularly targets H1B visa holders as we saw already it is because this order directs certain federal departments to take actions to protect the US workers from any adverse effects on wages and working conditions that are caused by the employment of H1B visa holders at job sites and this in turn especially affects Indian nationals because international are granted 60 to 70 percentage of H1B visas annually so Indian nationals will be affected apart from this the IT and IT enabled services firms which are based in India that send workers from India would be affected by this move then this order will also affect the corporate companies of India who invest in US economy and create jobs there because they will be at disadvantage to not utilize the Indian workforce in USA since Indian workforce is known for its skill and also for its cheap labor so all these implications could produce a ripple effect in the bilateral economic space between India and USA thus it might create problems in India US bilateral ties also but here you should note that it is not only India which will be affected because even USA will be affected by this move for example NASCOM that is the national association of software and service companies has mentioned that this US's decision appears to be based on misperceptions and misinformation now NASCOM has noted this this executive order has been issued at a time when there is huge shortage of skills in the stem in USA that is stem stands for science technology engineering and management sectors in USA with respect to this you should note that in US the unemployment in other occupations apart from computer occupations grew from 4.1 percentage to 13.5 percentage in May 2020 but at the same time skilled workers are not available to fill these shortages in USA now to fill these shortages only the short-term non-immigrant visas such as H1B and then L category visas are issued and they help to bridge this shortage but now since USA has taken a decision which directly affects a particular category of visa holders then it is going to directly affect certain sectors in US economy in addition to this NASCOM was also noted that it is important for USA to be able to access talent that is critical to the recovery phase post COVID-19 lockdown so that means the measures like the current executive order which restricts access to talent will slow down the recovery phase of US economy and it will also slow down its innovation and research and development also so these are some of the implications of US's decision now in this scenario keep in mind that the presidential elections will happen in USA in November 2020 and like around the world even in USA unemployment rate has increased due to COVID-19 lockdown so the editorial particularly notes that the present US administration under Mr. Donald Trump is trying to score political points with polarized decisions in order to be reelected that is certain measures of current US administration is trying to divide employers into two contrasting groups on one side there are American workers and the other side are the immigrant workers so instead of making use of the diverse population to build America's economy it is said that the current US administration is building a hate culture in USA that immigrants like H-1B category visa holders are stealing jobs of Americans so by issuing executive orders like the recent one the current government of USA is trying to get the support of people and that is why the editorial has mentioned that this executive order is only for political gains whether this we come to the end of this discussion that is my practice question will be discussed in the last session now let us take up the next discussion based on this news article it mentions that the Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services that is INCOISE is developing a seasonal and climate forecast system for surface waves see as you know in 2018 we heard the news of damage which was caused by a high wave to the Indian coastline from Kerala to Maharashtra now the increased damage caused by high wave activity are common during cyclones it is common during southwest monsoon and also during swell surges so because of this INCOISE is developing a seasonal and climate forecast system for surface waves now this will help to have a better coastal and the navigational protection plan for India now as part of this they have also investigated the link between wave activity in the Indian ocean and an important summer intracesional variation called as BS ISO BS ISO stands for boreal summer intracesional oscillation so what is this BS ISO as you know the Indian summer monsoon has vigorous intracesional oscillations or in short ISOs and they are in the form of active and weak or break spells of monsoon rainfall within the summer monsoon season and the seasonal variations in the tropical ISOs are usually represented with two distinct modes one is madden julian oscillation and the second one is boreal summer intracesional oscillation that is MJO and BS ISO we have discussed about MJO in our target 2020 number analysis also today we will just focus on BS ISO see in this boreal refers to northern regions so BS ISO is the intracesional oscillations that are happening in the northern part of earth when it is summer there here know that BS ISO dominates during boreal summer that is from June to October and MJO dominates during boreal winter that is from December to April see the BS ISO of the Asian summer monsoon is one of the most prominent sources of short term climate variability in the global monsoon system if we compare this with the MJO then BS ISO is more complex in nature with prominent northward propagation and its variability also extends much further from the equator see this BS ISO consists of alternating episodes of active and suppressed convection that moves northward with 30 to 60 day mode in the Indian Ocean and then it moves westward propagating 10 to 20 day mode in the northwestern tropical pacific ocean and the most important feature of this BS ISO is the propagation of clouds and convection from about 5 degrees south to 25 degrees north over the south Asian monsoon region see to put it simply we can say that BS ISO has significant potential to influence the seasonal monsoon and according to today's news article the active phase of BS ISO creates significant wave activity over the north Indian Ocean during the summer monsoon season that is from June to September or October and this is one of the reasons for the high waves that are seen over the Arabian Sea at that time and these high waves have adverse impact on marine activities and they also have impact on navigation then it also leads to intense coastal erosion and more floods are expected in the coastal regions so from this discussion you should understand that the BS ISO has an impact on the tropical Indian Ocean surface wave heights during the boreal summer season and understanding this fact is crucial for the improvement of the wave forecast system which is beneficial for many marine applications and in turn it will also help the coastal communities so that is all about this discussion today we discussed about BS ISO in a very brief manner and hopefully in the coming days we will see it elaborately with this we come to the end of this discussion the displayed practice question will be discussed in the last session now we have come to the last session for the day that is the practice questions discussion session this question is based on cage culture or cage aquaculture it is a three statement question first statement asks fish or shellfish is grown in a mesh which has a completely rigid frame the statement is correct we saw that cage which has a rigid frame is used for fish culture and here if you see the question asks for the incorrect statements so one should not be in answer so eliminate options a and b now the second statement mentions small and shallow water bodies are best suited now even if you don't know about this statement from the remaining options you can say that statement two is definitely incorrect a large deep reservoirs and lakes are suitable for cage culture because it is needed for the cage to remain afloat now the third statement is water is reused many times by passing it through treatment processes to remove waste and to restore the quality now this statement is incorrect first because in the discussion we saw that this method of aquaculture uses natural water bodies where the water is naturally replenished and this particular statement talks about the recirculating aquaculture systems which we discussed already so third statement is also incorrect hence the correct answer is option d 2 and 3 only now this next question is a two statement question the first statement is the term preventive detention is explicitly mentioned in the constitution of india this statement is correct it is mentioned in article 22 of indian constitution now the second statement mentions parliament has the exclusive authority to make laws of preventive detention for reasons connected with defense foreign affairs and the security of india so whenever a statement mentions like exclusive authority to make laws that means this statement is talking about the subjects mentioned under seventh schedule to the constitution so whether this preventive detention for reasons connected with defense foreign affairs and the security of india is a subject under union list yes it is a subject under entry nine of union list that means parliament has the exclusive authority to make law on this so this statement is also correct and here the question asks for the correct statements so the correct answer is option c both one and two now this next question asks what is h1b program sometimes seen in news now option a it mentions a temporary non-immigrant visa category of usa option b india's indigenous anti-missile program option c a defense collaboration between hong kong and britain option d an initiative undertaken as part of the vande Bharat mission now the correct answer is option a only it is a visa category of usa now in this related to option d we recently discussed about one initiative which is the swadesh initiative we discussed it on july 29 just keep that in mind now let us take the next question this is a two statement question and the question asks for not correct statements that is incorrect statements now the first statement is boreal summer intra seasonal oscillation creates significant wave activity over the northern indian ocean during summer monsoon season this statement is correct we discussed during the analysis now the second statement is bs iso dominates during june to october and madden julian oscillation dominates during december to april and the statement is also correct we saw this fact also during the discussion now here both the statements are correct but the question asks for the incorrect statements since there is no incorrect statement the correct answer is neither one nor two with this we have come to the end of today's discussion if you like the video don't forget to like comment and share do subscribe to shankar eyes academy youtube channel for more updates related to civil service

A couple of abandoned places We're going to a cave Yeah we're going to a cave It's supposed to be about 35 minutes away from here That I never heard of So I started researching Playing around on YouTube And I found it so There was really two caves But we're going to go We may go to both caves We'll try to because they're right Excited to They're supposed to be haunted But when we get more info We'll let you know Where's your voice box Voice box Great Ghost box I didn't bring my ghost box No those are voice recordings That's for EVP My niece had a ghost box But after last night She still had it I said shit So anyway You know My daughter grew up around Paranormal investigations I don't know myself a ghost hunter Because I don't go hunting ghosts I investigate what's going on And all that stuff But there's a difference there What I catch That I may think something Paranormal is going on I'll post it Whatever And then you've got your own conclusions But I don't just go to Ghosts So anyway She grew up around And she used to love Ghost hunts And Bigfoot She was really into Bigfoot But I had my ghost box And This was after her mom and I She was at her mom On Saturday night Getting pretty late I'm sitting there on YouTube Having a cup of beer playing on the computer And she calls me And says hey daddy I said hey what's wrong She said yeah Can you do me a favor She said you've got your ghost box Charged it up I said yeah I've got new batteries in it Why She said I'm going to hang up And she said you turn the ghost box On And After you're done with the ghost box She said Hang up or shut it off And call me back I said what do you want me to say She said nothing just hang up Turn your ghost box on and call me back I said okay I said I love you she just hung up I hung up so I grabbed the ghost box Right beside me so I turned it on About three minutes I'm just sitting there right Nothing's coming through All at once I swear it was her voice that I said hey daddy And I was like holy shit So I shut it off and I called her back And she said hello And I said I love you too And she said yes it worked And hung up The next day when she came back home I said honey Whatever you did last night Don't do it no more I don't want to know anything about it Let's not ever talk about it again So I don't know what she did But she worked on that goodest box And she was like 20 minutes away from it You know at least That was a freaking true story Just as well I'm gonna say True story Do you watch the ghost shows On TV like ghost adventures And rap chasers I have seen the rape chasers They're always building them Traps to catch it goes They're just I don't know About them I don't care for Now ghost adventures Yes I do watch them I love them I used to be For a while when they first come out You know taps Ghost hunters Ghost hunters And just Something about it wasn't right I started researching them And everybody said they were faking stuff It was always something weird That I didn't have a good vibe about them So they would get a hold of me Jane and Grant every once in a while They would send me a picture Or a video clip And I'd look at them And I'd look at And you know I'd send back You know there's too many variables You know there's just too many variables there People's talking and whatnot And one time Grant had sent me a photo And I forget where they were I think it may have been a lighthouse They sent me a photo Grant sent me a photo And with the heading said What can you make of this So I downloaded it And blew it up Searched and searched and I'm like Yes to me it looks like a little fall Or something and you know So I emailed him back The next day I get an email from him And said did you read the heading It says can you make anything Of this in quotes So I knew right then I'm like no I'm not cropping I'm not editing any photo And sending it back to you No my name is on there So I deleted it From my email list and everything And I never watched it and never sent it But Ghost Adventures Yeah they're cool you know I like them I think they're Down to earth And the path chase you Is Christmas Not the same Christmas though I just don't You can't catch a ghost in a trap I mean I'm not cutting them down I just watched them not too long ago But There's some new ones now Yeah I'm not into building ghost traps And stuff like I said I'm not a ghost hunter I'm an investigator I'm one of them guys I'd like to hang out with I'd also like to hang out With the Ghost Adventures But the thing about Ghost Adventures Now you gotta remember when they first come out And to now it's like Zach Baggins He's you know I'm not cutting them down But he means cause I still I still love the guys But he's really into he's always getting possessed I heard ghost hunters Have a fake marvelous Yeah But you know Like Zach Baggins he's into the Kind of like acting now He's always getting possessed Like a little over dramatic Me and a friend of mine I've been in Ohio It was funny he come over one night And I'd record it on DVR And One of their episodes we had a beer dream Game Every time When I would say No we had to take it during the beer And every time Aaron Would go Cause it gets real scary and it's funny shit We had to drink it though Man we was half snort by the time That our show was done dude And I go bro No I mean bro bro check it out But I love them though But you know at eachies I don't know I mean it is what it is So tell them a good story I don't have a good story I'm not adventurous like you I'm your channel I was behind the office That's the 3 of us I don't have any siblings So my parents made me And we had 10 years One of the smallest Motels in Daytona Beach It was on the beach And it had an underground swimming pool Most of the small ones were across The road So all the big ones The ocean part So anyway So my mom was in room 5 And she would clean Sometimes by herself I had to go to school So She'd be in there alone And she'd do all her cleaning And then she would Come back And things would be moved Like the towels would be on the rack And she knows they were on the rack And they would fall on ground You know, she'd have these little Back then they used to have Ashtrays and they had little Matches with their names on And the roofs And then she'd find the matches Somewhere else on the floor On the carpet or something So she did one day She saw a child I believe it was a boy And What we found out That the boy had Drowned in the swimming pool A long time ago Way before our time And It must have liked being there Never threatened my mother It just stood there And looked at her And would move things So We had room 5 But didn't you find out When your son almost drowned That was the same day That was a different story Oh, that was a different story My son at the same time He was just Two days before his second birthday We were I was married And I had I had a daughter too So she Would keep hearing noises Must be the TV set back there So she was She was Four, I would say Anyway, so my ex-husband And I were staying at my mom and dad's Motel because we were living in Jacksonville at the time And my ex-husband had a roofing job At one of the motels across the road So we were staying there Until I got done and started traveling back and forth So My ex-husband He came home for dinner And we ate and everything And the kids were playing And then my parents had Their in-ground swimming pool And they had a fence around it And then they had a sand box With a swing set and stuff And they had a fence around that Well, there was a bunch of kids And plus my two kids were in The sand area So I had told my ex-husband To take my ex-husband back To his job To finish up It was summer, so we could Go at about nine o'clock We went Back And my son was at that age Where he just irritated you And he was going Getting ready to be his terrible shoes So I decided I was just Stay a little bit And I hung out and he showed me His job and that So I left him And I come back to the motel Which wasn't very far So I get to the motel And I see an ambulance And a fire truck And I see police cars And I'm like, okay, what's going on? And The next door neighbor's Motel It was small It was A little bit bigger than ours Anyways, I always have problems So I was thinking it was theirs So I parked the car And I noticed that the manager Was looking at our motel And I'm like, oh my God My kids I looked at that manager And I said to him, have you seen my kids? He says no And I had a good feeling It was one of my kids So my parents' house It was my house And he had four parking spaces In the front And then you had to go up a driveway And a hill A hill And then you had parking You had parking on the side Well, I go running up there To find out It was my son He was on the gurney When I got there So what happened was The kids were playing in the sandbox And All the adults were talking My parents were out there talking And I guess they all You know, one of them would look And make sure the kids were still in there And they were And between the time that One of the guests Looked And started turning around That's when my son Gooted by him Went through two gates He went through two gates And went into the pool My daughter had thrown Into the deep end So he ran by And went into the deep end of the pool To grab the sandpale The sandpale way We think he leaned over And he hit the side of the pool And When I'm conscious And he was face down in the swimming pool So My daughter Was Still playing but she came running to my mom And she was in the pool And my That right there spooked me Yeah, and remind you She's only four So she said that And the lady that my mother Was talking to She was a nurse from Canada And she brought her kids up In the summertime and stayed there Every year And she heard that So she goes running They basically had to run back They used CPR And between A couple of the guests and her They went and traded back before So they brought him back And his little tummy looked like He was From a foreign country Just loaded with water So we took him They took him to the hospital So we get to the hospital And of course My father had done a burnout In the swimming pool Which is You know, you get a suntan oil And you get kids urine and stuff So they do There's an extra burnout in the pool So he had done it the night before So what they were afraid of The lungs were going to be Collapsed From the chemicals in the pool So he was shipped to Orlando So He was not allowed to be on the helicopter So As we were standing there There was a nurse with us And we found out My son drowned at 6 o'clock at night And My They had had an emergency That little boy My son Yeah, he survived it in the ground He almost did He lost a few Because of what? He drowned You just said he survived I'm done, I'm out He survived Yes, he's alive and breathing But anyway So what happened is The nurse told me There was a little boy The same age as my son At 6 o'clock in the morning The parents found him dead In the swimming pool He went through the window And got into the swimming pool When they woke up He was gone So it was like 6 o'clock in the morning To 6 o'clock in the night It was kind of like a life for a life And it went into the news that way too It was on the news In the newspaper because it was a motel But he's fine now When he drowned When you're drowned I mean But you're the only one Yeah, but I mean You gotta clarify that because Many people think you're lying No, I know you're not But some people could think that But wait a minute How'd he drown if he's still alive He didn't drown He almost did though They were punching his ticket But he made it He's very lucky He's 26 26 now Yeah, 26 Hard to believe The hats off to the other child And they made a park The fireman made a park with his name on it Yeah The other boy The one that died That was pretty cool I have one uploading Nancy Nancy Jones You guys may know what her fall over By her trains and stuff If not, check her out Nancy Jones It's a good channel She had bought a steam train And it didn't work and stuff And yes, the hobby shop said The motor might be bad But I do know those little trains It's in any scale They do have brushes in them So it could be brushes or something What I'm thinking Someone check it out for her I just uploaded that in my unboxing I'll be on that now Maybe that's why I got that But first of all She first got a one for me So I'm uploading while I'm doing this But anyway Think badass Night vision 4K guys 4K Let's touch him out for a while We just got this light here This light we've had for a while This is my old Our old wireless mics And we did get them in a wireless mic set Which that's one I just uploaded earlier So Still gotta get used to them mics But anyway That's cool because Like yesterday we used this That'll be another upcoming video We used this at the pumpkin patch You know, you can just unplug it Take it out often and there you go When you don't need all this Sometimes I just leave it on Because it looks cool when people think Ooh That guy's someone important I'm not But they'll go home and go Wonder who that guy was You need to get cards made YouTube.com forward slash What is it?  What's going on? Anything happening? Maybe next weekend I have to talk to The boss My old phone Still works, just the screen was You know But it still worked fine But I can get on there I can still get online And if you can get online You can get those free phone call stuff Non traceable numbers But anyway There's you that might join in We'll I'll sing about doing a live feed Where you guys can call in and talk to us Don't speak to her Yeah, I'll be cool Alright, so we lost everybody I could be eating And getting ready for tomorrow Yeah But if anybody watches this After 34 minutes Yeah And we'll give you a number When we go live We'll give you a number and you can call And talk to us And maybe we'll do like a ghost story Somebody Wrote to Carpabagger He did it for a while Pretty much successful We could have a fire I've been wanting a fire I'm going this weekend By the time we did our thing And the whole mess around the video And stuff You're tired, you're done And I think it's spring rain Too a little bit yesterday Yeah So any who We've been getting so much rain We haven't been able to enjoy the backyard All this summer But yeah, that'll be cool To actually put a voice with the face The name We're going to sign off Everybody left They didn't say bye I was kind of cutting down I didn't mean to cut it down I'm just not That ain't the same dude Why me?  Yeah, we got time Well, we'll have time No And it's still kind of early So we could have a fire Give them the number and they can call in I wish we could Live feed from a camera It'd be nice It doesn't It needs to be a smart camera No You got to get a thing for it Can you get it?  No, that's just to record On to the phone See these two When you go wifi, these two are talking So you're not on a line So I mean, if that was a case You could just do it all You got to get a little thing It's like two hundred and ten bucks You plug your camera into it And it makes it do what this can do See what I mean Yeah, it's like two hundred bucks We're going to get one sometime Instead of a phone That's kind of cool They have that Well, they've had it for many years How do you think news crews do it?    Yeah, you said that before I haven't been back there Maybe they ground from all the rain That'd be good We have a couple of them We don't want to go in the back yard at night He don't like the back yard He won't go in the back yard at daytime either He'll get right out to the front door for you If we're back there That's different Yeah, he'll come out Can we put him back there? He wouldn't go We had to fight him And actually coach him out He tried to run in He goes running He's happy to be out there He likes to watch traffic and stuff too But something happened when he was little Remember when he ran around the house He had to start yipping So I don't know if he got stung But we couldn't find a bite So he didn't get a snake bit But there are armadillos out there And of course there are coons Something scared him out back I haven't seen any armadillos this year I haven't seen any Since how many was there? Was it eight or four? It was a family They were the babies They were the babies out front But you know they do grow up And over And we do have coyotes It's not far through About a mile probably A coyote The armadillos I don't know I'm not sure I could tell you we lost him Well guys, thanks for watching You never showed up, appreciate it Everybody Have a great week coming up Stay tuned for my videos I'll get them up as a king I was taking a lot longer Because I could use that other editor Maybe find another one Another what? Editor That's a good editor It just takes off 30 bucks No, I've got like five editors And each one works on a different thing Yeah, but we bought that other one With that other one with 60 bucks We bought it the best buy a year ago That was That's from Do they have a newer one now?  KD, craft dinner So it's craft We got craft here I'm glad I didn't do a video on this This is special because there's many in Canada It's made by craft Well craft makes different things That's like Well I got a Chevy Yeah but I got one in Canada It's Chevy Craft it gets shipped there No no Get back Now I'm just gonna eat some correct macaroni and cheese Original The real stuff Got a little packet of powder in it They mix it all in They're all like that No they're not Oh yeah She's talking about I was born there Probably changed Because Heinz has come back to United States From Canada Why? Canadian jobs have been lost And so a lot of Canadians Are not happy Yeah So maybe Imagine how many Americans Would have been happy if Hillary got elected In the office and said all the Oh Chris Smith is back I heard Ghost Hunters have the fake moments Yeah Well It's kind of hard to say Who's that? That's on That's messageria Yeah Well I did Anyway It's hard to say if it's real Or if it's fake I've been accused of faking my videos I'm like Why?  Yeah it could be It could be something Else? Yeah it could be But I'll tell you know What was going on then And everything then you make your own conclusion From that But what I catch is what I catch And that's what I put up I have I bet you I had 20 hours of stuff I could have posted But just too many variables You know EVPs and stuff like that That I caught But when somebody's Talking You really can't you know It could have been somebody outside I just threw it out You know I'm like no It's just too hard to say So So anyway Chris, Tammy Thanks for watching guys We're going to get off here I work hard time You work hard time I work hard time I work hard time tomorrow I work I know I work hard time tomorrow I work hard time tomorrow I work hard time tomorrow I work hard time tomorrow I think it's It's broken I think it is fractured But fraction You said fraction I heard it I can't say fraction Anyway That's just a little cut from it But my whole hand was swollen For like two days It's come down It hurts like a son of a That's just really worse But I got put the doctors I can't I gotta work If I miss work ask her man I'm really really tired I'm just like I'm burned I said I'm burned Not enough Anyway guys Thanks for watching we'll see y'all soon Let us know in the comments below About the The phone call thing The call in deal I'll just go ahead and set it up And just do that Whoever's watching at the time Will know the number Let me go ahead and do that You'll be there right I'll have a fire Maybe a couple drinks And we'll listen to y'all stories too You'll have that sound Alright guys thanks for watching we gotta go See you later Shade Bear the myth man legend I'm gone and monkey's out Bye bye guys


I want to talk to you a little bit about context. So yesterday, Abby made the announcement that we renamed our Elastic Runtime to Application Runtime to kind of help be more descriptive. We've also really embraced as a community the container runtime as a way to think about running and having that Kubernetes container abstraction, but ensuring that there's a high degree of operational value to it. But one of the things that I think we didn't spend enough time on yet, I want to right now. And that's the question of when do I use one or the other? It's not a choice of I'm using one platform and everything should go on it. We live in the real world, and there are different abstractions that are valuable for different reasons. There are different use cases that fit more appropriately in a Kubernetes cluster. And there are different scenarios where things fit more appropriately in the Cloud Foundry application runtime. So I can't tell you what those scenarios are, right? And it really is a question of what's the right tool for the right job and can you have a great experience operationally ensuring that these platforms are alive. But what I can tell you is that there's clearly some emergent commonality between the different enterprises that I've spoken with that are pairing Kubernetes with Cloud Foundry App Runtime. Now, we all know the CF push experiences for the developers, the custom applications on the application runtime side. And the container runtime side, some of the things that I've seen are, number one, a lot of independent software vendors or ISVs, they're shipping their software to companies as Docker container images or OCI container images. So that's a great use. You can land it into Kubernetes. There's other examples where there are data services that are actually born of the container era, right? They're designed to work in Kubernetes. So they should run in Kubernetes. There are other examples where you have a older application, a traditional application. Somebody even say it's legacy, and it was from last week. But a legacy application, it's designed a bit as a monolith. You could package that in a Linux container, and if you choose, you could choose to run that on Kubernetes cluster with Cloud Foundry Container Runtime. So we're going to continue to see as a community in your organizations as we pair these two abstractions together and continue to make them work even more seamlessly. We're going to evolve as an industry. We're going to learn what's right at one abstraction versus the other abstraction. So with that in mind, I want to invite someone up on stage who's going to give us a walkthrough of an example of where we're pairing the Cloud Foundry application runtime with some machine learning that's running on top of Kubernetes. So if I could have Emma from SAP join me. All right, yeah, let's go up here. All right, well, thank you for joining us. Thank you. Yeah, so why don't we start with one? Can you tell everybody what you do at SAP? OK, I am a developer in SAP. I work with the SAP Leonardo Machine Learning Foundation. And I work with open source technologies like Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes. So today, I'm going to be telling you how we do machine learning in SAP. Great, great. So you brought a diagram that you wanted to walk through. Yeah, but before that. Before that, here, why don't I give you this? So I kind of give an overview of what we do at SAP. And we in SAP, we are actually interested in two business use cases. These include software as a service and I'll say container as a service. So we have employed leading technologies to help us deliver our business use cases. With respect to software as a service, we would like to deploy intelligent business applications to the cloud environment. And because of these, we have decided to use SAP's cloud platform, which is Cloud Foundry, to help us deliver this or run these 12 factor-like apps. On the other hand, we have customers who would like to train their models or they would like to run inference against their models. So we have employed Docker technology to containerize their models and use Kubernetes engine to run the resulting containers. The idea is that the applications which are running in the cloud have been powered by the models which are running in Cloud Foundry. So a look at architecture at Dagger, we really drive this message home. You see we have different tiers. We have three tiers and these include the application tier, the compute tier, and the persistent tier. The Cloud Foundry hosts the application tier and the components of the applications here include tenant onboarding, APIs, and our use case logic. For tenant onboarding, we leverage on the security features of Cloud Foundry to help us bring our customers to use our platform. And for APIs, these are what enterprise applications or developers can use to consume what we offer in our platform. The business logic is different for different kind of models. And for instance, you can have the business logic for image classification, or you can have business logic for some linear regression. And this is the gateway to the compute tier. Now the compute tier is where all the heavy lifting is done. It is actually composed of two different kinds of infrastructures. They include the inference infrastructure and then the training infrastructure. For the inference infrastructure, we can host custom models. This means customers can bring their models to us. For instance, our models, and they want us to save it. We can host that. We also host open source models like TensorFlow. For instance, we have the inception model, which is currently running our TensorFlow server. Can you maybe tell everybody what TensorFlow is for those of them that might not know what it is? OK, TensorFlow is TensorFlow. Anyway, TensorFlow. That's the best answer I've ever heard. TensorFlow is TensorFlow. Clearly. What do I know? TensorFlow is an open source machine learning library that is from Google. So. And we also have the training infrastructure and this training infrastructure is characterized by long running jobs. Usually, we have jobs that could run for one week or even more. And these kind of jobs, they require massive volumes of data. And I'm talking about data, which is in the gigabytes or terabyte range. And because of these, we have taken measures to bring the data closer to processing why training is going on by way of data caching. We also have employed NVIDIA GPUs in order to make training efficient. And the idea is that after training is completed, it is uploaded into the model repository, which is in the persistent layer. And thereafter, containers which wish to serve this model can download it and use it for inference. To drive this message home, I will demonstrate a specific use case of how we use Cloud Foundry 2 as a gateway to our machine learning services. In this particular use case, I am a developer and I have trained my own model, but I would like to use Cloud Foundry. And I would also like to use Kubernetes to deploy my model and to run driving inference against my model. In particular, when we watch this, everybody pay attention to the developer experience, because you're going to see the CF command line tool actually has been expanded with a plug-in, which interacts with the machine learning system. Yeah. So as a developer, my first steps will be to subscribe to the machine learning services that we have currently in Cloud Foundry. So maybe we can roll the, there it comes. And so after subscribing, I create an instance of my service that of the service of the machine learning service filling all the relevant data. And because I would like to use this model in my laptop, I create service keys. And OK, at this moment, the instance is being created. And I click on my new instance, and I generate service keys. These service keys gives me credentials that I can use in my local computer to assess the application, or assess Cloud Foundry. So I have what I can use to identify myself and the APIs that I can communicate with if I want to use it to deploy my models. So the next thing, we have developed a Cloud Foundry plug-in that has different kinds of APIs. I have deploy, describe, undefloy, and upload. So in my file system, I have my model. And I upload it to the model repository. After it's told me that I'm successful, the next thing I would like to, at the moment, I would like to deploy it. This is an asynchronous process. So there has to be some wait time. And it gives me a response, or it gives me a notification when I describe to tell me, at this moment, the model is still being uploaded. So you see it's spending. The state of the model is spending. And how long does it normally take? Few seconds, depending on how large the model is. And it looks like a drag. Now it's succeeded. So at this point, I can drive inference against my model. And this is the host and the pods. So here, this is an example of an application in the Cloud and already deployed in the Cloud. And we are driving an image classification request. Oh, that's a cute dog. Yeah. And the results comes. And so this is how we do machine learning in SAP. Thank you very much for listening. Thank you so much for coming. Appreciate it. So that was kind of cool.


and rectangular paintings. An artistic expression of Indian tribal and village communities existed well before the birth of Lord Buddha. In his time, they were popular as Charanchitra, a picture under the foot of a picture. Lord Buddha himself was an ardent admirer of Charanchitra. A sculptural frieze from the 1st century Sanchi Stupa was directly influenced by Charanchitra. Were used as audiovisuals for religious and social instruction and entertainment. Krashtra, the entertainer potwas are appropriately called Chitra Kathi. The pots of Rajasthan and Urissa are famous, so also those of Gujarat and Andhra. Even in the printed cloth for wall hangings, we find a close relation with pots of this area. The famous Urissa Patta or manuscript jacket was influenced by Potochitra. The source material of Bengali pots came from the two epics, the Mungal Kapus, legends and contemporary events, the Potochitra from the 24 Parganas. The potwas constantly defeating evil and everlasting source material for the potwas. The Charanchitra is being used as the backdrop behind Durga. Here is a rare specimen, 30 feet wide. In the villages of Bengal, life-like pots are used traditionally in worship instead of the image. A festive scene from a Birbhum village, a painted Durga of a once flourishing potwa community. By religion, potwas are simultaneously Hindus and Muslims. They are said to be the children of Bishokarma, the celestial architect. Their studio, their home, their search for a livelihood. Their songs. Their patron, the rural poor, the condition of their brother potwas in Birbhum is no better. To earn a living, they sometimes become snake charmers. The famous Jom Pot of the district, Jom, the god of death, punishes sinners. The message, stay away from sin. Vishnukur in Bakura, famous for its terracotta temples, depict the 10 incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Same theme on pots. From Beletod, Jamini Roy's village, the artistic simplicity of life and art. A total absence of self-consciousness, vitality of vision. It was a popular magical belief that the potwas painting the eye in a pot could restore the sight of blindly wandering departed dear ones. Chanipot's from Midnapur. Santhal rebellion ruthlessly put down by the British. Their cavalry, Siddhu and Kanu, the hanged martyrs, urban in topicality and furkish in character. Remarkable for calligraphic lines used with shading. Creating a new genre. The tremendous impact of Potuchi Thru upon modern painters. Avon Indranath Tagore. Nandu Lal Bose. Jamini Roy. Lothin Mui Thru and Pran Krishnupal. The two major wartime painters. Potuchi Thru is a vital art. A form that will open up new horizons of vision and inspiration again and again.


And family and friends have gathered to pay their last respects to one of Mandarin's producers, directors and actors Vincent de Jumeau-Louis, who was laid to rest. The event, which was held in Lagos, had popular filmmaker Tzunde Kelani, a representative of Lagos state government, among others, in attendance. At a landing state in Lagos, family, friends, guests arrived to see the quintessential Vincent de Jumeau-Louis' cuffs for the last time. Tears cascaded down on the faces of some, while others were there to comfort them. From there, his remains were moved to Holy Cross Cathedral at Catholic Mission Street, Lagos Island. At the church, the officiating minister, very reverend Massinio Bernard Okodua, offers prayers for the deceased, as the congregation joins the choir to sing hymns. To all things, and make them holy. And you never cease to gather people to yourselves, so that from the rising of the sun to each setting, a pure sacrifice may be offered to your name. Popular Nigerian filmmaker Tzunde Kelani shares his experience working with the late de Jumeau-Louis. Kelani says the late icon's contribution to the entertainment industry will not be forgotten in a hurry. He was home with everybody and inspired all of us, so we can never, never forget him. Even I can disclose here that the next thing I'm going to make at Guguay War II, we are going to pay tribute to his memory. So may he so rest in peace. The first daughter of the deceased, Adiola Folabi, says one thing no one could take away from his father was that he was apologetic whenever he was wrong. She wished him eternal rest. More tributes poured in for Dejumeau-Louis as a son-in-law. Chukuma Osakwe recounted the moment he sought the hands of the suspian's daughter's hands in marriage. He describes him as a detribalised Nigerian. The wife of Osakwe, Adiola corroborated her husband's view, hoping to see her father's wish for Nigeria come through. I saw the sight that the rest of the world didn't see because I met a very playful man. When I arrived, he said that he'd always known and prayed that one of his children, especially the male, should marry an Igbo person. But that this is his daughter now bringing an Igbo man, so that he's happy that his family is around. He wanted intertribal marriages. There's so many of them, but they always ended with hugs and kisses. So for me, those are the things that I'll miss the very most. So I'm wishing him good rest. And I'm trusting that his desires for us will come to be, right? And also that his desire for this nation as regards cultural unity is something that would really, really come to be in the not-so-distant future.

One local woman is taking her love for sports and turning it towards books. For this week's Golden Apple, our Sarah Winckelman takes us to Garfield Elementary to meet the local author. So here it was, time for the big game. I had 999 points and we had a home game. Shelly Boyen-Breen is reliving the game when she played for Brainerd High School and became the first female basketball player to score 1,000 career points. Then many years later, she turned her passion of sports into a series of children's books. The next day she dug through the hall closet and found her brother Ben's hockey skates. I didn't enjoy reading when I was young and one of the reasons is because I couldn't see myself in books and so I wanted to write a children's book series where all kids could see themselves with the hopes that they'd get involved in reading early on. And so the character Shelly Beane, the sports queen, was born. A girl aspect of, you know, having that role model as a girl athlete, but then just the athletics. I mean, all the boys were just as excited about the books. It was really cool. She inspired me a lot to do the sports that I wanted to do. Whether it's hockey, basketball, or one of the books still to come, Shelly Beane always learns a new skill, but one thing about her character always remains the same. She's always got to wear the number nine and the reason for that is my tribute to title nine. All those people that have come before me who've helped pave the way so that I could take part in all the sports that I was able to play and keep that momentum moving forward. So Shelly Beane is going to wear that number nine as a tribute. She hopes through Shelly Beane, the sports queen, kids will know that it's okay to fail when you try new things and it's important to get back up and keep playing. Shelly is just a great role model for Brainerd kids, a Brainerd graduate, somebody who just really kind of followed her dreams and her passion. Shelly Beane, the sports world and beyond. I'm just so excited that the doors are opening for books like these and I really think that we need to be demanding that more books like these are in front of our kids in our libraries and in our schools. For this week's Golden Apple, in Brainerd, Sarah Winkelman, Lakeland News. Shelly Beane, the sports queen will learn to swim in the next book that comes out in mid-March.

The challenge of the Yukon. I'm king! I'm your huskies! The wonder dog king, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of northwest-mounted police who preserved law and order in the new northwest country where the lead for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog king met that challenge and justice ruled triumphant. Inspector Grayson walked back and forth his office at Dawson City as he talked to Sergeant Preston of the northwest-mounted police. The inspector was irritated. I don't know why they should be young constable likes turns on a case like this. He's never been in the north country before. These men is after a hardened criminals. Pete Darcy would kill a man as quickly and as casually as he'd look at one. They have been short of officers in White Horse, sir. Sophie Smith's gang is very active. That may be true. Have you ever seen Constable Stern, Sergeant? No, sir. I've never met him. Well, he's capable enough but quite young. I met him last summer when I was in White Horse. You'd like him. He's a nice chap. You'd have a lot in common. He likes dogs just about as well as you do. Great big black one follows him everywhere just the same as King follows you. Well, black dog, you say, sir? Yes, very unusual looking. He's half wolf and half Newfoundland. Great big fellow would shot wolf ears and slanting gray eyes.  I'd like to see him. Well, you probably will. In the telegram from White Horse, they asked me to have one of my men. Well, he doesn't know the north. They haven't come down there that they can spare. I'd like that assignment, sir. You're going south on your next patrol, Sergeant. I suggest that you continue down to Selkirk. You may happen to meet him on the way.  He told me that he often lets him run free. The dog is a little bit too big for the rest of the team and sets too fast a pace. But he's wonderful and heavy snow. Well, Constable Stern will be alone, sir. Yes, he will, Sergeant, but the man he's after isn't alone. Pete Dossy has a half braid with him. They call him Wolf. It seems he's very handy with a knife. So on your way south for these two, Pete Dossy and Wolf. Stay behind this rock, Wolf. You can get a good look at him from up here. I'm sure it's Constable Stern's. Maybe just Trapper Prospectors. Simone, I tell you, and he's after us. We shouldn't have stopped in Selkirk. Maybe the start would be better. That is Stern's down there. You cannot see his face from this far. No, but I can see that big black curtain with him. See him run alongside the team? He does not pull sled. They sent Stern's after us because he knows what we look like. Well, he ain't going to have a chance to tell anybody. You shoot him from here? Wait till he gets a little closer. We can use that dog team and the supplies. I don't want to miss him. That doggy? He followed without being tired. Yeah, he's a pet. I ain't taking a chance on getting chewed up.  Maybe now he is close enough. Yeah. Yeah, I can't miss. You got him. He lay in snow. Now for the dog. Got him too. Come on, Wolf. We're getting ourselves a dog team. You should do it. Give that. I told you I wasn't going to miss. We take team and go now. We're going to bury him first. I don't want him to be found. You know what it would mean if they found a dead mountain. Yeah. It's not too hard to bury him. We'll cover him with branches and snow. Hey, wait a minute. I just got an idea. He's just my size. So we'll take those clothes off him before we bury him. It'll be a lot easier traveling as a Mountie. You'll be in your dressy-ish clothing. Sure. And you'll be my guide. We're chasing two criminals called Darcy and Wolf. Hey, you start getting branches and digging while I address him. There's a pick on his sled. Do we bury a dog too? No, he's too big. We've got to hurry before someone comes. Nobody will worry about a dead dog, but a man is something different. Come on, hurry. I am so lucky to meet you, Sergeant Preston. He's a heavy pack of fur. She's heavy to carry all the way to Selkirk. Glad to give you a lift, yeah? The snow keeps on falling much longer. We're going to have trouble getting there ourselves. We have made good time since morning. I guess we'll have to make camp pretty soon, though. Dogs are getting tired. What's wrong, boy? There is animal. Over there, just off the trail. Oh, ho, you huskies! There's a dog glowing over there. Come on, pure. Back, King. Come here, fella.  Like I said, down, fella. That's the boy. It is big black dog. It seems to be hurt. Hello, fella. What's wrong? Look. His head. The bullet creased the top of his skull. Wonder who left him there. Oh, he has dragged himself through snow. See? Oh, must have been shot into the trail, I wonder. Uh, Pierre, look. He's lying on some loose branches covered with snow. All right, boy. Come on. We're going to have to move you. I have never seen a dog that looked like that. Well, he must be part new from then. Pierre, this dog belongs to Constable Stearns. The man you tell me about? The one you are to meet? Yes. Look at this dog. Small wolf ears, long black fur, grey eyes. Someone must have shot him. Come on, fella. Move over a little bit. All right, boy. We won't hurt you. There. Help me get these branches off here. This dog was lying here because somebody knows he's buried under these branches. You think we find body? Help me with this big one, will you? There. There is still loose snow on dirt. Maybe I should get shoveled. No, that won't be necessary. It's loose enough to dig with our hands. Yes, here it is. But look, this man. They have buried him in his underwear. That's your master, isn't it, fella? He licked his face. Poor dog. This man was a mouthy Pierre. How do you know this? He has no uniform. They didn't take time to take his shoes off. They took his mucklucks, but not his shoes. Those shoes are regulation. I'm wearing a pair exactly like them. But who would do things like this? When he was chasing, this is Constable Stearns. They must have ambushed him. But why do they not kill his dog? They may have thought they killed him. That bullet would have stunned him. But why do they take this man's clothes? That worries me, Pierre. Pete Darcy, the man who killed Stearns, is probably impersonating a man. You will go back to Dawson now. Yes, my way. I'll report his identification. I'll have to put the dog on the sled, too. I'm afraid it's too weak to follow on foot. I don't like the sound of that wind. There's a blizzard coming up. Maybe better if we make camp now. I'm not camping outside tonight. We've been going for two days, and I need a good night's sleep. We come to town pretty soon now. What town is, Wolf? A small town called Deer Creek. Nothing there but trading post and fuel cabin. I'm glad you know this country. There was some up there. Will you get a more supply of trading post? No. We'll go straight through the town and stay in one of the cabins at the edge of it. I don't want to be seen too much. The trading post is too dangerous. Maybe we can get a prospect to buy some supplies for us. They're mush! Mush you, huskies! Who is it? I'm Constable Stearns of the Northwest Mounted. Oh, a mountain. Come in, come in. This is my guide. You're just about in time for supper.  Thanks. You think you can put us up for the night? There's a blizzard coming. We thought we'd better hold in. Sure can. We'll be right back. Thank you. Well, we better hold in. Sure can. I'm glad to have you. This cabin is kind of small. Maybe one of you would rather stay with Jed Williams. He lives just down the road as well. No, we'll stay here. We're on the trail of some criminals and I just as soon as I let people know we're around. That's why we came to your cabin. It's not close to any other cabin. Yes, I see. Well, you don't have to worry. I won't tell nobody you're here. Maybe after it gets later, you'll go to the trading post for me to get some supplies. Then nobody will know we've been here at all. Sure, sure. I'll go there for you.  Say, I didn't even tell you my name. It's Ned. Ned Jones. I put a case of dried salmon with the rest of the order, Jim. Yes, Ned. Seems to me you're getting a lot of supplies for just a hundred. Well, I can always use them. Let's see now. A case of dried fish, bacon, salt... Come on, Jim. Well, it's Sergeant Preston. How are you? Hello, Jim. I guess you didn't expect to see me back here so soon. Well, I'll be... another Marty. Another Marty? What do you mean? Oh, er... nothing. I don't believe I've ever met you. My name's Ned Jones. How are you? Say, Jim, is it all right if I stay here with you tonight? Sure. I didn't think you were coming in to buy supplies that this are. Just wait a minute, Sergeant, until I get Ned the rest of the stuff he wants, and I'll fix up the back room for you. I'll get those beans, Ned. Just what did you mean by saying another Marty when I came in, Ned? Well, you see, I couldn't tell you when Jim was around, but he's always there. It'll be all right to tell you, though, because you're probably looking for the same man he is. You'll be in the Mountie, too. You'll say he's staying with you? Yep. Just till this blizzard gets over, he came just for supper. Do you know who he is? Yep. His name is Stearns. Stearns, eh? I can't talk about it now. I'm in front of Jim. Yeah, there. Well, thanks, Jim. Oh, Jim, I've changed my mind about staying here. I'm going to spend the night with Ned. Come on, Ned. You can put those things on my sled. Hey, listen to that wind. Hope the old codger gets back with those supplies. You got a mass wolf? Yeah. Maybe I should have got supplies. Maybe he talked too much, huh? Not him. He was all primed to help the law. We'll get an early start tomorrow if this blizzard lets up, we'll cross the border within a week. Here you come, now. Well, I brought along another one. Old Wolf, watch them, Ken. I've got the rest of both of you. The murder of Constable Stearns. Look out, Charging. He's got a knife.  I'll take your gun first, then. I'll get over there beside Wolf. Back, Ken. Let him up, boy. Get up, Wolf. But he said he was Constable Stearns. And my sled. He was murdered by these men. It's a lie. You can't prove anything. We'll see about that. When I take you two back to Dawson.
