just experimenting with going live without like planning to. So what I wanted to do today was, I probably should have made an event and gone live that way because I don't know what this is called. But what I wanted to do today was to talk about SurveyMonkey. And not just SurveyMonkey, but how to make surveys, how to program online surveys. Now, those of you who know, here, let me edit this here. I'm going to edit the stream details and say what I'm going to talk about here. So sorry, you guys, I'm just updating this. I haven't done this before just going live without planning. So let's see here. Okay, so here now I've updated this to say the right thing now. So let's hope it says the right thing. Oh, we've got somebody here. So welcome. So the reason that I'm going live right now is I wanted to do a demonstration of how to program a survey into SurveyMonkey. And the reason why I wanted to do this demonstration, do this live stream without planning, I'm sorry, I just wanted to do it now. It's because I wanted to have a video that shows me going from, I want to put a survey into SurveyMonkey and now it's actually in. We can test it and I can even look at the data and download the data from it and see what it looks like. So the reason why I picked this topic is because actually I literally have had, I've done this with about three or four customers like in the last two weeks. So I just thought, well, if I make this live stream and I sort of show an example, I can get my customers to watch this and sort of see what they're in for because this is just the process. Now, before I start demonstrating, I just want to explain the context. I have a free course that I made which is about how to do data collection. It's an online course and I'll link you to it in the description. And if you go through that course, it's a long course. It'll teach you every step of the way of what I'm explaining in this video. But I'm going to just go really fast in this video to just explain each of the steps superficially so you get what they are. If you get to know me, you'll learn that I talk a lot about survey design and we're talking specifically about surveys here. And I explained that designing them is super important. Like every word, every question, every variable is super important. What language it's in, how you're administering it, you know, paper and pencil or online. All of these design choices are super important. But where we're going to start in this process is after all those design choices have been made and all we have is a short survey with one domain. I'm just asking, you'll see it. And I made the spec. Okay. So now SurveyMonkey is an online survey software. Okay. Oh, hi, spaghetti dude. I hope you like the topic. It's SurveyMonkey and how to program surveys. So SurveyMonkey is a program for doing surveys. So why am I saying that? Like it sounds pretty obvious. The reason is that there are other apps you can use to collect data that are not meant for surveys. Google Forms is number one, not meant for surveys. Don't use it for surveys. Okay. If you've got a form on your website that says fill out this form if you want more information. Yeah, fine. Use Google Forms. Oh, thank you. If you say a compliment, you get to be highlighted on the Jumbotron or whatever. Thank you very much, spaghetti dude. So SurveyMonkey is an online survey software that has features you need for making online surveys. So Google Forms and these forms and stuff, they don't have those features. They're for something else. Okay. If you don't want to use SurveyMonkey, an alternative to SurveyMonkey is Qualtrics. And there's nothing wrong with Qualtrics. The reason I'm using SurveyMonkey is because I pay for it. So I keep my surveys in there. And my stream is having issues, which I don't know which one.  And you're like, I want to try Qualtrics. I want to try SurveyMonkey. Well, it's kind of like you've got to choose which one you're going to use. Because all your surveys are going to be in and all your data is going to be in there. And even though you can download it, it's nice to be able to go back to the original and just remember what you did. So you want to pick. I have a customer in China. And there are a lot of restrictions in China. And she could use Qualtrics, but she couldn't use SurveyMonkey. So I have to learn Qualtrics' way of doing things. So there's these survey features you need that are going to be in both softwares, all-survey software. But what they're called and how to find them and how to use them are going to be different in age. So I'm used to SurveyMonkey. I teach SurveyMonkey. I'm not used to Qualtrics. I could probably figure it out. There's another alternative called RedCap. RedCap is free and most people don't use it. It's used by universities and they tend to put it on a server like their IT departments do. And then they insist that you use it for their research data because it's very secure. And then you get your research approval for doing that. But the problem is I don't really like RedCap. It's very hard to use. I find it really hard to use. But it does the same thing that Qualtrics and SurveyMonkey. So it has the same survey features you need, but they're called different and they're in different places. So the big picture is before you do a survey, first do good job designing the survey and making a survey specification or a spec, which I'll show you in a minute. So that's your first step. The second step is you've got to choose which software you're going to use, survey software you're going to use for your survey if you're going to use software. Let's pretend you are. Okay, so first I'm going to show you my spec so you understand the context here. So I'm going to bring this over here and share my screen. Whoops. So let me share my screen. Okay, so you should see this Word document. At the top it says page title and learner preference survey. And those of you who are my customers are know me. You know that when I highlight things that means that I'm trying not to copy them or I'm going to remove them later. Okay. So what do we have here? We have this little entry and it says, thank you for your interest in Monica Wahee's educational content. Please indicate your preference by completing this short anonymous survey. Well, I kind of want to know what topics people want for my live streams. And I also want to know what people are using, what software people are using these days. Because I did kind of a Margaret research survey a few years ago, but I want to be updated and we have pandemic and everything.  The main question I really care about is a three, but I've got four questions in here to sort of demonstrate four different formats of questions in a survey software. So the first one, and you'll notice I called them A1, A2, A3. I call them that because if I had more sections of the survey, the next section would be B, the next section would be C. And I'd use the same naming, numbering convention. That way, whether it's SurveyMonkey or Qualtrics or RedCap puts automatic numbering on them. I have given them a unique identity. Each of these questions or items is technically what they're called. And that way I can communicate with my research team. I can say A2 should be rewarded or whatever. This is a really good idea because otherwise between the survey software, numbering things automatically and your team, you're going to have trouble communicating. Okay. So here's the first question. In which of the following software applications are you currently trying to improve your skills? Please select all that apply. So it took me a while to sort of write this question. And I said, please select all that apply. The only ones I care about are on here. And I put none of the above. There's a lot of other software, but these are the ones I'm sort of interested in. So I made a list of that. Now you can imagine your head, you know, this really isn't going to be on the survey. There's not going to be numbers here. There's going to be like checkboxes or some way of selecting these things. And it's all that applies. So there's going to be multiples. So if you think about it from a data standpoint, you would expect a variable for each of these and some sort of data in that, like whether or not they checked it, right? And then there's none of the above. Like why is that there? You know, they just don't need to check it. Well, I've learned that if you don't put none of the above, people get confused. So they want to put something like maybe they don't use any of these. So here's the second question. Which of the following software do you use most often right now? And I put choose one. So notice most often that forces them to choose. And, you know, when I look at these, I use Microsoft Word most often. I'm using it right now, right? But what I want, you know, the person who's going to pick this is going to pick, they're probably not going to pick word. A lot of people are data scientists. They're going to pick like some data thing. Well, I don't know what they're going to pick. I'll do the survey, right? Then A3 is the real question that I wanted to ask in this is it's a ranking question. Now up here on A2, what do we expect for a response? Just one value, right? Like this could be like a drop down box and they could choose a value like one through 10 or something. But with A3, it's a little more complicated. It says please rank the following potential general live stream topics for Monica. From first to last with one indicating the topic you'd be more interested in for a live stream. Now, when I get into Survey Monkey, I might reword this a little. I forgot how they do their ranking questions. But these are the items I want ranked as software demonstrations like this one, career planning advice, academic subjects such as statistical theory, recent news and updates from the field like the one I did yesterday, and reviews and referrals to educational materials. Okay. So what I want them to do is rank these. Why that's kind of a cool thing is because I get to see exactly how whatever these priorities are. Like it's not like they just check off which ones they want. They want like these. I get to see which one is more important to them than the other ones, right? And of course, this doesn't make sense to fill out if you don't know my stuff and you're not into data science. So if this was a real like strict research study, I'd be putting gateway questions here to only get my learners in. But here, you know, it's fine as a demonstration. So then this is going to be an open-ended question. What topics do you want to learn more about for Monica? Please describe here. And one of the things that decisions you have to make with these questions, which ones are required, I'll probably require this one here. I'm adding the spec as I program because I really want to know the answer to this question. But this one I wouldn't require. Okay. So again, to just remind you, this is kind of a spec. And I would do something like this for Qualtrics. I would do something like this for Redcap or for SurveyMonkey. This is all this design that happened before you got here. And now I'm ready. Okay. I'm ready to go to SurveyMonkey. So this is one of the big problems I have with my learners is a lot of times they don't realize that they have to design the SurveySpec or specification offline like in Word before they even encounter the software. They don't realize that. But the reality is, and I was just telling somebody today, in the world of 2022, just about everything you do is, you know, prepare like words and documents or files. And then step two is go to some web page and enter data and upload stuff and then hit submit. Like if you're applying to college, it basically goes like that. If you're submitting to a peer reviewed article, like a journal, it goes like that. And so even if you're programming and survey into online survey software, yeah, you basically prepare everything offline and you'll keep all your documentation. And then you go fight with the software, try to put it, which is what we're going to do now. So our next step, we've got our spec mostly designed. I mean, at least basically designed. Let me see if I can find my, here it is. So now I'm going to share my SurveyMonkey with you. So we're starting on this page. So remember I said I threw it all in for SurveyMonkey. And this is the one I'm using. So I'm in this dashboard here. This looks kind of small. And here's my surveys. And you'll see the surveys in here. So I'm going to start it. I'm going to do create survey. Okay. And I didn't really come up with a name for it. It says copy pass survey. I don't do this a lot. Let's see here. Start from scratch. So survey name. So I was going to call it, let's see here. Learner preference. Something like live stream topics. Normally I'd have all this. Learner preference survey. Okay. So then my questions are already written. And I'm going to choose the classic. And again, this is going to be different depending on the survey. And also changes like survey. I've been with SurveyMonkey a long time. And they've changed things. Okay. I don't want, I don't want to improvise. Okay. So I get this and then SurveyMonkey. Usually the first thing I do is pick some sort of background. You know, and I've programmed a background in that I usually just copy from my other surveys, but I'm going to start with this one. So let me see if I can go and find where do you do the design? Let's see your page title. I just did this yesterday. Where is it? This is a question bank. Appearance here down here. This is the thing I'm toggling. Let's go pick a theme. Is it a theme? Let's see here. Okay. I can't pick a theme. Settings. Appearance. Colors. Okay. Let's just pick some colors here because. How is this one? Oh, that's a little different. I kind of yesterday when I went in this, I was able to pick some sort of. Theme here. Oh, here are some standard themes. Yeah, I guess I was looking for this. Let's just pick the stone. Yeah, that's nice. Now normally I'd put my logo up here. Well, actually I could probably put my logo up here. So I'm going to go upload my logo here. Okay. Okay. So now I've got my logo. And I've got this. Okay. Now you see this page title here. That's what I put here is this learner preference survey. I knew that was going to be there. So I just click on that. You see a lot of this is clicking around. So this is the way survey monkey works. It sort of has these things. And then it's got this question here. So I'm going to toggle to the question. So these are the different types of questions. It puts one out here. Let's go to our spec and figure out what's the first one. Actually, the first thing is I just want to say some text. So let's go drag over here. These are the different types of questions like this is where we'll get the rating question.  And just drag it up here. And then I'm going to copy and paste this into it. OK. And then save. So I'm going to go back over here. So I want to show you where we are. See summary, design survey, preview and score, collect responses, analyze results, and present results. These are kind of the order you go in. But this is actually a way of toggling back and forth from different parts of this dashboard. And they're kind of in the order you would use them. But you can always toggle back and forth. OK. We're in design survey because that's sort of where you go when you've got a spec is you're fighting with designing the survey. As soon as you think it's ready, you go here to preview and score to try and figure out if it's ready. OK. So and then over here on the design survey panel, you've got this stuff going on. You've got the side thing. Very confusing, right? So the first thing we did was I just put in this text thing. Now I want to add this new question. And the next question is this, please select all that apply question. So I just know from using SurveyMonkey, what does multiple choice even mean? Like what do these things mean? I know I need to choose a checkbox's choice. Now you'll notice here up here, there's also another menu. Options, logic, move, copy. Moving copy, you know what that would do. It would move this question or copy it. But the options and the logic are pretty important. Logic means, let's say you ask a gateway question like, have you ever heard of the company AT&T? That's my telecom company. And if you say no, you're going to skip out of questions about AT&T's reputation. But if you say yes, they'll say, well, which of these following things is true of AT&T? They're a good business and I like their phones or whatever. You know what I mean? That gateway question that allows the nose to skip out and the yeses to answer it, that's called logic. And that's one of the things that's often missing from form, things where you can make a form online, but it's not really survey software. So that's what logic is. In my simple survey I designed, we're not using logic. So that's advanced. But we're going to go on the options tab because that's where, remember I said I was going to require an answer to one of these? That's where you do that. And the options are going to change depending on the type of question. Like right now we have check boxes. So let's go over here and put the question in here. So which of the following, I don't even have to think because I wrote it, right? Please select all that apply. And then there's answers. Isn't that hilarious? Like they think they know what I'm going to do. So I'm using this sort of automatic numbering thing in Word. It's just easier to turn that off. And then I'm going to copy in these. Oh, I don't think you can see my word, but I'm copying these in from Word here, the choices. Remember I had them written out. And I'm copying them in here. So you see under this edit panel for this question. And after I copy it in, you'll be able to better understand how this works here. Actually, let me just, I'm moving it over to my other window. So it's easier. Actually, I might just type these. I'm a fast type this. Python SQL. If this is a long list, I try to put it in alphabetical order. But this was a short list. So I just kind of threw it together. Now you see over here, this adds and like if I put minus, minus, then there's no place to add anything. But if I add a plus, then I can add. And then here's our none of the above. And again, you know, when I'm doing this, you can see this kind of thing shows up. If I really cared how these words looked, I could go and make them like bolder. And I know I'm dismissing that sometimes you do care.  So, okay. So again, this is sort of a design panel. Here's the question. Here are the answers. Then score this question. That's possible. Add an other answer option with a common field. So I could just check that and that would be there. But I don't want that because I'm controlling what they're choosing because I only teach certain things. And then there's a none of the above. Oh, it says that that must be new. Let's just add that. I didn't even see that before. Add another the above. Let's see how that works. We're going to save this. See, now we can kind of, it's sort of whizzy wig. We can kind of see it. I wonder if anybody says whizzy wig anymore. But if you're like, okay, that's pretty cool. Let's see how that looks. Let me go over and see if anybody's in the chat. Oh, no, if you're like, okay, that's good. Let's see how that works. Even though we haven't programmed the whole thing in. You can jump over to preview and score. And see, I can see it, right? So what is going on in this panel? If this person chooses to fill it out on their phone, this is what they'll see on their phone. But of course it'll be smaller. So you have to sort of think like that. So here now I can try to check these off. Like, does this look right? Okay. Here's the none of the above. Okay. See, if you check this, none of the above it unchecks these other ones. So I would use that. See, it's new in Survey Monkey. I didn't even notice it. Okay. So then, or I could put Python and SAS. I should probably answer what am I trying to currently improve my skills in? I'm always trying to get better at SQL, but I don't practice. And I'm always trying to get better at R and SAS, I guess. I have to learn Python. I haven't learned it yet. Sorry, man. Got to ask my intern, Natasha. She learned Python on her own, believe it or not. All right. So let me look at the next question on our spec. Okay. The next one is the one where they get to choose just one. So let's do a new question here. So question two, remember, I'll just copy it in. And this one, the choose one is actually a multiple choice. Okay. And, you know, there might be a way to copy these answers into here, but I don't know an easy one. So I'm just going to copy. I'm just going to retype them in here. So this is what's going to be in a, I think a dropdown box. I think you can change whether it displays as a dropdown box or not. But I'm, I think we'll leave it that way. Let's see what happens here. I'm just typing these in. Microsoft. Microsoft. And then I can just make a none of the above. See it says I can choose this. No, I think I'm just going to add it here. None. I'm going to say none of these. I'm just going to give up on that. Okay. Let's see here. Which of these is multiple choice? Or maybe it's dropdown. That's what I want is dropdown. Yeah. I think this is it. And this is where I could add an other, but you'll notice that I, I'm only interested in certain software. If I was asking a different question, like, why did you come to the clinic today? And I have like, you know, to get a diagnosis, to get treatment or other, because those are the two main reasons you come to clinic. What else is there? You know what I mean? That, that would make sense, but. All right. So you can kind of look, um, you know, it's hard to like preview it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go to preview and score, which is why they invented that it's so much easier. Now I've been with survey monkey a long time, like not necessarily with this account, but ever since they were invented, I've been using them. And in the beginning, it was so hard to preview your surveys. Now this feature is really great. So you see how this is choosing. I can choose this was really nice. Okay. So I feel pretty good about that one. Um, so I'm going to go back to design survey. And now my, my next question, if you remember it was this was the ranking question. So I'm going to add, um, already I know this is something like ranking, ranking here. Um, so here's my question. Um, and remember I've got my little a three in there. Okay. And then here are the choices that we went over that I'm going to have you guys modern learners rank. Whoops. I didn't mean to do that. I don't know what just happened. Okay. So these are what we went over this. Um, here's faces. Now notice I only included five choices is really hard to rank long lists. Just the way it is. I find, I usually find it harder to answer question about, you know, how much I agree with something if it's one to seven or one to 10 or something versus one to five, just not having that many choices makes it a lot easier to sort of decide how you feel about them relative to each other. So, um, so I'm going to save this. And what I'm going to show you a little special with this one is I'm going to go over to options, see how I, I scroll over this. And I'm going to say, um, require an answer to this question because I really want to know what these, this is the most important one. Now let's go preview that one. Okay. Or we have to actually preview the whole thing. That's not the easiest thing. If you've got multiple pages right now, I threw, I just had a few questions. So I threw them all in one page. If you have a longer survey, which you usually do, and especially if you have skip patterns like that logic, you're going to want multiple pages.  It might be the same question. So, you know, really think about how the user is going to feel, especially filling it out on their phone. A lot of people fill this stuff out on their phone, even though I'm signing it on the laptop here. Okay, so now let's go. Okay, so we're in the preview. So I guess let's see here our studio. I'm just choosing something. And then this, let's say, I'd say sad. Lately, I've been doing a little sad. Okay, so one way that the user can do this is they can just use, right? But another way they can use this is they can just drag it. And what's nice is if they drag it, it just kind of fills it in. Now, I want to make sure you understand that each one of these items or things or whatever, it's going to be a variable. So there's going to be a column for each of these. And if this stays the same way, like I was filling this out for real, under the academic subjects column, that would be a one. That would be the value for this respondent. And recent news update would be two. And so you can see how useful it is to have this question and why this is like maybe my main question. Now, if I say I'm done, let's preview it again. Actually, no, let's design it because I want to show you what happens when you require an answer to the question. Okay, let's see here. So finally, the last question is just an open-ended. And it says... So I just want to say something about open-ended answers. There's two choices on here. There's single text box and there's comment box. I haven't used comment box in a long time because the last time I used it, I could not get the data out of it to analyze it. Like it was not stored like a character string. I don't know what is stored like now. But the difference between single text box and comment box is comment box is more for people who want to say a bunch of things like tell us everything wrong with our webpage or whatever. Single text box is more like what I want for this question, which is I'll show you the question here. And see, like I'll just put the question. What topics you want to learn more about for Monica, please subscribe here. So this says comment box, but actually just a text box would probably be good because if you go in the options, let's see here. I remember before they used to let you adjust how long it was. How long? Well, I don't know. Let's just save it and test it. So we're going to just save it and test it and see what happens. OK, so I use Word and RStudio. And then let's see here how to graduate. I'm going to click done. And I want you to see that this one, this question requires an answer. They actually mean this one here because I didn't and see this device view. We can change how this looks. This is so helpful here. This is really how it looks on a fall. I'm glad they did this preview thing and survey monkey. But in case now, you know, I can do things like this and make this all filled in and then I'm done. So let's go back to Design Survey. I also have a little thing where I just say thank you for filling it out, which is, again, remember that's a text. Oh, where did it go? It's down here here. I never can find it. And I'm just going to try to scooch it in here. And you can just drag these things around if they get in the wrong place. So I'll say. So this, I said thank you for completing my survey.  So I can go to this advanced editor, you know, and I can do different things like I can make this. Isn't there a way to, yeah, here's centered. I can make it bigger. Like this is 12 point. Let's make it 24 point. I can make the font a little different here. You know, maybe something. Oops, I meant the whole thing. I like impact. And then, you know, it's kind of nice for techies. And then maybe I'll make it like. See this is bold and underlined. I think you can make it colorful. Yeah, here. So there's nice. Okay. So now I can preview it again. Oh, and there's this done button here. So let me just preview it once more and make sure I like it. Right. So, so I'm just looking at it here. And it's not going to let me go forward unless I fill in something here. So, and then here, thank you for completing my survey. Okay. So now we're at the point where we've programmed it in. And so I'm actually going to go back to my spec and just make some notes. Right. And let me go see if anybody has any questions. Oh, it's Dr. Carter. Hi. How are you? I hope you're doing well.  This is Dr. Carter. If you ever need help with surveys, that's what I'm doing. But it's good to see you. Good to see you. All right. So now I'm going to go back to my. Let's see here, the survey spec. And I just want to remind you, okay, so I did this. See, I undid this so it was easier to copy and paste in there. And actually I'm going to leave it like that. You'll see, I'm going to have to write in the field names later when we make these fields. And then here's my ranking. And here's this. What I wanted to do was answer required. I wanted to make a note about this. And often, you know, my little thing is I'll use different colored highlighting for that. And so that just reminds me, I did that validation role. Sometimes I'll put notes like this.  Like she was using like a slider and I made notes about the type of the type of control. I guess that's what they're called control. She was using and they have different options depending on the control or the item or whatever it's called. And so sometimes I take those notes in here. So that's so you keep adding to your spec. You just add notes in and remember later, like you're going to make this. You're going to deploy the survey and you're going to totally forget about this experience designing it and programming it. Like that's going to be so far from your mind. And then later when you download the data and you're trying to analyze it, you know, a lot of these things are going to come back to you. You're going to want to look up what did I do? What was I trying to do? And it's not unusual for me to also have a separate, just separate documentation. Those of you who've taken my data curation course, just separate documentation that helps you track why I designed the survey this way. You know, why we, like even, you know, that customer was saying in China why we even chose Qualtrics versus anything else. That's usually then, you know, what I, what I keep track of on this notes thing is anything that doesn't fit in this bag. All right. So now that we've done that, I'm going to go back to Survey Monkey and we're going to proceed with developing the survey. Okay. So let's see here. Okay. So now we're back in Survey Monkey. I'm just reminding you of this menu because this is what you have to care about the Survey Monkey. Okay. So we were on design survey and we'd go back there if we wanted to change anything, but we didn't. We went to preview and score and we saw everything and it looked good to us. Now we're going to go to collect responses. Now I'm going to explain this to you. And this is how Survey Monkey works. Just Survey Monkey. Qualtrics works probably differently. Red Cab works differently. I know this is how Survey Monkey works. There are two main ways to distribute a survey and Survey Monkey. One way is to get a mailing list of emails and launch an email from Survey Monkey to that list that has a link to the survey in it. And then that way Survey Monkey can keep track of who fills it out. Now this is good for situations where people have consented to be in the survey. And also if they don't mind being emailed and all that. And if you can do that, it's nice because then you can keep track of who's filled it out and who hasn't and sent follow us. But I'll tell you, I don't use that function very much. What I use is the other function, which is making a web link that's just out there in the world. And then emailing that to whoever you want to fill it out because I'm normally doing anonymous surveys and that's a great way to keep it anonymous. So how Survey Monkey sees everything is that there's always some sort of link that leads people into the survey. And so Survey Monkey calls that link a collector. And what Survey Monkey encourages you to do is if you create one survey, but you're surveying different groups like for example, let's say I created one survey, but I wanted to do it in nurses, like a group of nurses and a group of physicians. What's good to do is to just create two different links, the nurse link and the physician link. And in the email, the email may look the same, but when you email the nurses the link, you just put the nurse link in there. When you email the physician, the physician link, you put that in. That way, when they fill it out, you automatically know whether it came from a nurse or a physician. So those are called collectors. Each of those links would be called a collector. Now what I'm going to do right now is create only two collectors. One is going to be test, which is what you should always create. And one is going to be, I'll just call it live because I'm just going to put it out there. I really don't care. Like when I sometimes do these surveys, like if I post it on Twitter, I'll have a Twitter collector. And then if I post it on LinkedIn, I'll have a LinkedIn collector so I know where they came in from. But this time I don't care, so I'm just going to make one.  So I always just jump over to analyze research. Obviously we have no results, so that's just my way of including SurveyMonkey. And then I come back to collectors, see it says web link one. And you can actually edit the name. I think I can do edit collector. So that's what it's called. And I'm going to call this test. Okay. And then I'm going to do the options here. So I don't really care about the options for the test, but what I'll tell you is I normally, anonymous responses, I put them on because otherwise it collects the IP address that I just don't want it. Okay. And so then I go back. Oh, back to all collectors. I probably could follow the software. Okay. This is test. Now I'm going to make a new collector, which is a web link collector. And since we're going to, I'm going to name that live. Now, the reality is, is that I'm going to actually take live. Well, let me take test first. Let's go back to the collectors. I'm going to take test first. And I'm going to go, go through it. Right. So let's go to test. And I'm going to copy this. So imagine you're on a research team. And it's your job to program the survey monkey. So what happened was your research team met and they made the spec together. And it's your job to program the survey. What I do is I send, when I'm done, I send tests to all of my collaborators. And I tell them, fill this out because I need some fake data. And that's what we're going to do right now. So let me see if I go here. Okay. So now I'm going to go, I'm going to change where I'm sharing. And we're going to go to the, where I went to that link. Let me see. Okay. So this is what it looks like now. Now remember, this is going to collect real data. This is not like that preview and score. It's going to collect my real data, but it's going to put it in the test collector. So I can always just throw it away. So I'm going to pretend I'm a few people. Okay. First, I'm going to pretend I'm a public health learner.  So which of the following are you currently trying to improve your skills? Usually healthcare learners are working on SAS. They're also working on RGUI. They might also be working on Excel or Word PowerPoint. So this is my public health learner. Which of the following software do you use most often right now? Probably Word, right? Please rank the following potential general life scene topics. Well, these public health will often need help with specific, like statistical theory, literally academic subjects. They also need referrals to education materials and career planning advice. They tend not to need software demonstrations enough. Now where I'm getting this is, you know, if you do marketing, there are market segments and personas. This is one of my personas. So what are the types you want to learn from Monica? Maybe like I put how to graduate. Let's see here how to use. Excel for managing research. Okay, so I just put that in. Got it. So, okay, I actually entered a data point. So let's go back and look at that data point. So I'm going to go back to my, I'm going to go back to, so here, this is where our collector is. So let's go to, let's go back to this panel, collect responses, and just see what it looks like right now. Of course, it's going really slow. Why? Why is this going faster? Because something went wrong. Okay, well, why don't we go on to analyze results? Maybe that won't crash the software. Something went wrong. Let's go to the survey monkey. Okay, so my surveys. So I'll say it's sort of the least buggy software. My surveys. Okay, here it is. I guess it crashed, but you see here, this says, now you get to see what it looks like in this panel. Responses here. This is where you can go just toggle to the right place you want. This would bring you to the collector list or whatever. We see this bronze. Let's just go to analyze to see what it looks like now that there's some data in there. Let me see if anybody's out here in the chat here. What happened here? It seems like I picked like a time to do this when Surrey Mike is being really unstable. Let's see. I mean, this is like the smallest survey in the world. Okay. So you'll notice that this is not very easy to look at. Like once you get some data in here, these are not really meant for you to actually analyze. Like don't take any of this and put it in a report, but it's helpful. It's a helpful dashboard to see how your survey is doing and what people are saying as they're collecting data. Okay. So I also want to show you something over here. This is where you actually download the data. You go over here. Let's see here. You even download the data. Oh, you go to here. Notice how this menu is over here now on the analyze results. You go here for exports to download the data. But I usually don't do that until... God, this is going slow. I usually don't do download the data until I get my team to enter a bunch of fake data like I just did. But I don't like them to just do random stuff. I like them to try to do a persona of some sort. So what I'm going to do is enter a few more before I show you how to download the data. Who knows what's going on with the Survey Monkey? I didn't realize I was going to have connectivity problems because now I don't have the link and I wanted to go and fill out a few more. Well, I guess I remember going to a Microsoft demonstration. What was it? It was back in... I think it was 2007. This guy's demonstrating the stuff and his new software crashed and I was like, how embarrassing. I'm glad I don't work for Microsoft. At least I don't work for Survey Monkey, right? Well, let's see here. So here's my surveys. Let's go here and see if we can go to the collector, get the link and fill another fake survey. If this isn't going to let me, I'm just going to have to give up. But then the next step would be is, let me see, I think I just have to go up on this. Okay, so this is another problem with survey software. It sometimes it crashes or it's going slow. And I see that, I haven't seen this in Survey Monkey. They're pretty good. I've seen this in Red Cap. I haven't seen it in Qualtrics, but I don't use that as much. So we're running into problems. Let me see if I can get this link again and we can, nope, it's still crashing. Now, what's happening is the front end is crashing, like all my data is still in there. So I'm not that worried about it. And like I said, I've been with this company a long time. Okay, so we're not getting the test collected. So what I wanted to do was like fill out a few in the test collector. I'll just explain what I wanted to do with you and then we'll see if they get their software working. Fill out a few in front of you in the test collector and then download the data from the test collector because there's so much issues with downloading the data and all of these softwares, not just Survey Monkey, but in Qualtrics too. Like you think, oh, easy, just download the data. Well, it's not that easy. And so I was going to show you that and then I was going to show you like how the data look basically once, you know, what the survey looks like. But you know what I think I'll do is I think I'll end this live stream here and just pick up part two when Survey Monkey is working. All right? So hang on for part two. Maybe it'll be later today or maybe it'll be tomorrow. But I needed to not be so unstable. I'm trying to do a live stream. All right, so I apologize for this. If you've been watching this and have gotten anything out of this, like trying to make new surveys and stuff, please like this video and also please subscribe to my channel because I'm trying to do more live streams. Obviously I'm trying to make the survey to figure out what topics you all want, right? And to be continued, stay tuned. I'm going to have to finish this in another live stream. But for now, you know, you can see what topics I do from the survey. You know, let me know. Give me a comment or I'm on LinkedIn. I accept all connections. I'm not picky about you don't send me a message. But if you do send me a message, you say I saw your live stream on Connect. That's great. It helps me know. And then you can always just tell me what topics you want on a live stream or on a blog or a video. I can't guarantee anything. I'm so busy with my consulting and with my other learners, like I do a lot of tutoring and mentoring and stuff. But that way you can tell me what priorities, you know, you can rank things and tell me which things you'd prefer. So when I get my copious free time, I can focus on the topics that are important to you. All right. Well, sorry this ended kind of like with a bust rather than a bang. But I promise you there's going to be part two where we pick this up, survey monkey fixes their stuff and we'll finish what I'm trying to teach you about surveys and survey programming and survey monkey. All right. So bye for now.

The hydrogen evolution reaction, HER, is a half-cell reaction in water electrolysis for producing hydrogen gas. In industrial water electrolysis, the HER is often conducted in alkaline media to achieve higher stability of the electrode materials. However, the kinetics of the HER in alkaline medium is slow relative to that in acid because of the low concentration of protons in the former. Heterostructured catalysts with synergistic effects derived from their heterogeneous interfaces can provide multiple functional sites for the overall reaction process and have shown infusive potential to break through the bottlenecks. This review summarizes the most representative and recent heterostructured her catalysts for alkaline medium, focusing on approaches for enhancing the reaction rate by accelerating the Volmer step. This article was authored by Juming Wei, Min Zhou, An Chuan Long, and others.


Now in business, as Nigeria's inflation rate rose to 18.17% for the month of March 2021, from 17.33% recorded in February 2021, manufacturers and critical stakeholders say the trend is worrisome. Director-General of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, Shegun Ajayi-Kadir, says the rising figures threaten envisaged manufacturing and industrial sector recovery and growth. Ajayi-Kadir advises the Nigerian government to manage the index before it spirals out of control and ensure price stability and pursue consumer price stimulation. Also, former Deputy Director of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Abiyodun Shopitan, laments the Food Inflation Index, which spiked at 22.95% from 21.79%, as the government needs to address the issue of insecurity, which has grossly affected food supply. The inflationary condition in Nigeria adversely affects the profitability of the manufacturing sector and is partly responsible for its uncompetitiveness. The latter being a major contributor to the low export penetration of goods manufactured in the country, in the international market. Clearly, there is an urgent need for government to intentionally ensure price stability. The federal minister of finance and the CBN should work more closely when designing policies that affect the rural sector of the economy. This is to prevent a situation where policies are working at cross purposes. For instance, while the CBN was creating funding windows as single-digit interest rates to encourage production, government increased VAT from 5% to 7.5%. The government increased minimum wage and also allowed increase in electricity tariff and so on. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

If I said the sinner's prayer, am I saved? Or if I said the sinner's prayer, does that mean that I'm not saved? So the question is, is the sinner's prayer biblical or unbiblical? Many people are speaking about the sinner's prayer and the question is, does it save, does it not save, is it biblical, not biblical? Does the sinner's prayer go against the teachings of the Bible? Now the truth is, many of you were led into reciting the sinner's prayer and today are Christians. But was that what saves you? And in truth, I have led literally hundreds of people in reciting the sinner's prayer on their way to becoming Christians. But again, is that what saved them? So before we get into the right and the wrong of the sinner's prayer, we first need to talk about what is required for salvation. We need to first understand that there is a need for all of us, all of humanity, to need saving. Why? Because of our sin condition. There is a debt that's owed by us to God because of our sin that we simply cannot pay. Which also requires us in order to become saved. There needs to be an understanding of what Christ had to do to pay that debt. That is, he had to shed his blood on the cross and that shedding of blood was the payment required for the debt owed by us. A payment that we simply could not pay or afford. And then lastly and most importantly, it's faith in what Christ did. His finished work on the cross, that is what guarantees us salvation. Now it should be understood that these aren't steps. This is just merely an acknowledgement of what's required and what happens in order for us or what we need to place our faith in. That is what Christ did and why Christ did what he did. The Bible says that if we confess our sins then he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and cleanse us. And so there seems to be this requirement of this confession. We're also told that if we confess with our mouths that Jesus is Lord, the Bible says that we shall be saved. And so the question is, does that necessarily mean that there need to be a public or a verbal affirmation from us? In truth, there just simply needs to be an acknowledgement on the person's part of what Jesus is. Confess or acknowledge our sins and then confess or acknowledge that Jesus is Lord that he died for our sins and that we place our faith in that. So the question is why then do we have a sinner's prayer in the first place? Well, there's a couple of reasons. One, those people who want to become saved they tend to ask, what must I do? What must I say? And so we give them something to say. Understanding though that it's not what you say it's what you believe but it does kind of give them a little bit of comfort in knowing or having something to say. Another reason why people have a sinner's prayer recited is because it gives some sort of public proof or affirmation of what is going on on the inside. However, it needs to be understood the sinner's prayer does not save. Saying the sinner's prayer, reciting the sinner's prayer or repeating after what someone has told you to say is not what saves you. It is faith in what Christ has done. When the apostles ask how must we be saved? They simply said, believe on Jesus and you shall be saved. And so it's the belief in Jesus Christ what he's done on the cross again. That's what saves us. So it's clear it's the person's faith that saves not the sinner's prayer, not reciting any words it is their faith. The sinner's prayer could be used as a guide but it's not taught in the Bible. There is nowhere in the Bible where someone is led to recite a certain set of words after someone else says it and then that person becomes a believer. Which leads to the next question. Is reciting a sinner's prayer, is that wrong? Well, if it's wrong, then the question would have to be asked then if I said the sinner's prayer, if you said the sinner's prayer, then did I become a believer? Did I become a Christian? Well, for me, I became a Christian and I recited the sinner's prayer. It was not the sinner's prayer that saved me. It was my faith. And the truth is my faith was there even before I recited it. My heart was ready. And at me just saying it was just something that publicly confirmed whoever the hearers were that this is what I said. Now, did they know for sure? No, we'll discuss what needs to take place that's more important or just as important as their affirmation of faith. That's something that we tend to neglect. Because I said the sinner's prayer, or many of you have and many other folks have said the sinner's prayer and are Christians, then it is possible to say the sinner's prayer to recite after someone else and still be saved. Because again, it wasn't that recitation that did it. It was the faith. And if there is no faith in Christ and all you just said was just some empty words. Now, because we wanna be doggedly correct and as accurate as possible biblically, I no longer have people to recite a set of words after me. I do kinda give them a guide as to, this is what it takes to be saved. These are the things and then you in your own way, if you want to say something or if you just wanna just acknowledge internally that you have faith in Christ, then that's all required. But I no longer lead people in this set of words to recite. However, at the same time, I also don't condemn people. I understand why they do it. And trying to be as doggedly sound in the very beginning is gonna sound strange, but to be as thorough doggedly in the beginning with someone who doesn't know, may confuse them, may not confuse them. I would rather be doggedly sound from the beginning, but if someone offers for someone to repeat these words, I don't necessarily condemn them as long as the person who is reciting these words, as long as they understand what is really truly needed for salvation. And that is the faith, not the words, but the faith. And just let the words be a public declaration as to what's happened already internally. Now, if the reason for saying the sinner's prayer is to have some sort of proof and even to make the believer comfortable, well, there's one thing that we tend to neglect sometimes that is just as important. Jesus said to go and make disciples. And one thing that has been neglected by people is that we would lead someone in this sinner's prayer or we would have them to place their faith in Christ, not knowing for sure. And we neglect a very important aspect of this new believer's walk, which is being a disciple. There is one way that we can know if a person is truly a believer by their discipleship. We can see their walk, we can help them with their walk. If there's questions that they need asked answering, well, then we're there or someone is there. And so that's the one thing that we tend to neglect as the church when it comes to bringing in believers. And so while we should admonish people, while we should do our very best to lead people to place their faith in Christ, we should also make sure that we are trying to make disciples. And if we do those things, then we would do good. Amen.

Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome. This is Liz Arman with the Soxwish. This is the fourth and final option call I gave yesterday in the letter for people of the options letter. And it's running up right now. 215 reversal time. Amazing call in Netflix. I saw it yesterday and knew it was still not too late. So called a great trade in this. And moving up today, 222 looks very likely here today. That really was a solid target for today. 222, 222. 225 being the dream target. That's kind of far away here now. I mean, I'm not saying it can't get there before 4, but I mean, this is a huge trade too. So again, bullish move with the market today in a strong stock, based on what? I made the call on a quality golden gap, a bullish gap that happened yesterday. That's how I made all the options calls. They were superior golden gaps. And we'll take a look at Netflix right here too. So here it is. Stock capped up yesterday, ran up, made the move, called it around 1 o'clock yesterday. Popped today. Big move in here today. Lowest to 16, highest to 2160. Again, 222 dream target today at $0.40 away. You could be out. If anybody did this, you could be out today, even though I called the 220 calls for out next Friday. And it obviously went through the strike today in 24 hours. And it's got a week left. So just what a tremendous move for the stock. I actually had an option play, which was this day here. I had called one out to the 19th. This is actually two option trades going on right now in the letter. But I think a lot of people got out of the first one because it had such a big move from the one I called in here. But back in here, I'd called the 200 calls, which was out to the 19th, which is still up. Actually, let's just see what the heck that is up right now because that, I don't even know if anybody's still in it. I have to look at the letter. Well, I'll look at it later. It doesn't matter. Everything is just huge. Everything is just huge. Everything is working great. It's just you've got to take advantage of this market, people. You've got to be able to see the right things to do, though. You've got to be able to see the right things to do. And why do I say that? Look at this sucker. I did not call Facebook, thank God. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Didn't really see anything there in the gap yesterday that's capped up. And I didn't call it. Luckily, if I had called an option in this yesterday with Google, Amazon, Netflix, and the spy, this would have failed. It would have never got anywhere because it gapped down today. So again, you can't go long, necessarily even everything's strong, to see that it's gonna go to a specific target and an option with the market. This is all the things I'm gonna talk about in the webinar Tuesday night. But if I had called this, it would have went bust. So I'm glad I didn't call it, but I didn't call it because this chart did not look the same to me. Even though it was in the same sector, even though I knew the market was higher, that's why I called the spy call. And again, Facebook goes with a spy. So I mean, you've got to look specifically, at what you're doing. You've got to get the right pick. You've got to get the right pick at the right time with momentum. And that's how you make money. And so this was a great call. And it even came in slightly this morning, but I knew it would pick itself up. And it did, it did. So this is running up into the close. Everybody had said, you gotta watch it. 222 is 30 cents away from now. And I don't know, this could run up all the way to four. You know, I mean, I think 225 is, would be an insane number for this today, but anything's possible now. Very strong stock of Netflix, love it. David Letterman's show coming out tonight on this. If you got the Netflix, you can watch it. And congratulations, everyone that did it. If you're interested in information about the Golden Gap course, email me next class is January 20th and 21st. And that's how you've learned how to read gaps with me. Have a great day everyone, and have a great weekend.


Hi there, in this video we talk about air, a more specifically polluted air, which is a serious health hazard that destroys the environment and endangers future generations. Access to clean air should therefore not be a luxury but a fundamental right for everyone. In Europe, three out of four citizens live in a city. There we face congestion, noise and pollution, generating stress and adverse health effects. During summer heat waves, pollution increases and older people and those suffering from respiratory problems are in danger. Polluted air also impacts vegetation and wildlife with almost two thirds of Europe's ecosystems threatened by its effects. While air quality in towns and cities has deteriorated as a result of rising industrial and energy production, as well as the burning of fossil fuels and biomass, the dramatic rise in traffic on roads is one of the biggest factors for air pollution. Transport accounts for a quarter of the EU greenhouse gas emissions. With the abolition of internal borders and the further integration of our internal market, the volumes of goods and passengers transported have increased at a quick pace. And most of those goods are transported across the EU market, primarily by road, causing heavy traffic, unsafe roads and pollution. So how can we maintain our mobility in an inclusive, affordable, accessible, yet sustainable manner? And can we at the same time improve health protection and protect the environment? It's firstly up to all of us to change our means of transport to contribute to the creation of liveable cities. While many of us are already replacing urban car trips with alternatives such as public transport, biking or even walking, air travel is still increasing yearly. Consuming less also means that less goods have to be transported across Europe or from other parts of the world. Opting for local products instead of using shopping options online or purchasing products that were shipped through transport modes powered by renewable energy can be great alternatives. This also is true for consuming food. Remember, the agricultural sector is one of the biggest polluters in the EU. So that's what each of us can do for a start. But to shift the entire EU to a mobility system that puts people's health before profits, we need our political leaders on the EU and national level to take action. Firstly, air quality standards are lagging behind what is recommended by experts for protecting people's health. We need legislation in line with the suggestions of the World Health Organization. With positive examples from all over the EU, we know that urban planning can be done in a way that provides for an inclusive, safe, sustainable, resilient and prosperous space for all. We can do this by giving priority to zero and low emissions transport, limiting access of personal cars to urban centres, while increasing the space for bikes and pedestrians. But the planning must also make sure that the decreasing car use does not come with a limitation of access to rural areas for those who don't own a private car anymore. We also need our political leaders to stop, directly and indirectly, subsidising road and air travel, but rather to invest in a mobility system that has little to no impact on the environment. This means a system based on interoperability, intermodality and interconnectivity of different modes of transport and more public investments in railroads and cross-border links, including night trains. It cannot be that in the EU, it is often three to four times more expensive to take a train rather than a plane. So, hey, let's stop tax breaks such as tax exemption on kerosene, which are giving competition advantages to the air travel industry. And finally, as we have seen from the recent diesel gate scandal, pollution by vehicles is not controlled seriously enough and companies are not held accountable. We need better testing procedures, but also higher fines and penalties for those who bend the rules. Unfortunately, far too often decisions by policymakers are aimed at short-term measures to reduce road congestion, such as building more on bigger roads to meet the increase of car traffic. While we can change our daily habits, we do need politicians to work towards the necessary infrastructure and to tackle the broader challenge of a transition towards sustainable transport, mobility and urban planning.


A very good evening aspirants. Welcome to the Hindu newspaper analysis brought to you by Shankar IAS academy. Today's date is 3rd of August 2023. Displayed here are the list of news articles that we are going to discuss today. So without much delay let us get into the first news article discussion. Look at this text and context article. The article provides details about various books that highlight the impact and aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of world war 2. The article states that we must read these books and understand the trauma faced by the victims. Only by understanding the trauma faced by the victims we can prevent another nuclear war from happening. This is about the news article. So in this news article discussion let us see some of the important points about world war two. Firstly let us see the causes of world war two. See after the world war one the treaty of Versailles and the harsh terms imposed on Germany created resentment and economic hardship. This laid the groundwork for future conflicts. The next important cause is the expansionist ambitions of totalitarian countries like Germany, Italy and Japan. See Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler and Imperial Japan took aggressive measures to expand their territories. This led to territorial disputes and tensions. The third important cause is the appeasement policy followed by western powers. See the appeasement policy followed by western Europe particularly Britain and France was a diplomatic approach in the 1930s which aimed at avoiding wars with aggressive and expansionist powers mainly Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler. Britain and France faced heavy loss during world war one and they were taking all measures to avoid another major conflict. Although avoiding confrontation was an important reason for the appeasement policy another reason that led the west to follow the appeasement policies to contain the western expansion of communism. See Hitler was a staunch anti-communist. The western powers felt that Hitler would act as a buffer and prevent the westward expansion of communist ideas from the USSR. For example when Hitler occupied Austria in 1938 and in addition to this Hitler demanded that the Sudetenland a German speaking region of Czechoslovakia should be given to Germany. In both these instances Britain and France did not try to stop Germany. This policy of appeasement actually emboldened Hitler. Hitler saw the western powers reluctance to challenge him as a sign of weakness which encouraged further aggression. The last major cause is the failure of the League of Nations. See the League of Nations was established to maintain peace. The League was expected to mediate between countries and take action against countries which indulged in military aggression. But post world war one the United States was not interested in playing a global role or any role in European politics. Therefore the United States did not become a member of the League. In addition to this countries like France and Britain maintained a non-interventionist attitude. This resulted in the League remaining an ineffectual international body. So these are all some of the important causes of world war two. Now let us see some of the important events that happened during the war. See as I already mentioned the west followed the policy of appeasement. The munich pact of 1938 was the culmination of the policy. As a part of this pact the Sudetenland was ceded to Germany without Czechoslovakia's consent. Hitler also gave assurance of no further expansion. The next important pact was signed in 1939. It was the non-aggression pact which Germany and the Soviet Union signed secretly. Germany signed this pact to avoid the two front war. See during the first world war Germany had to fight France in the west and Russia in the east. Due to this Germany's army was divided into two. Thus resulting in the reduction of the effectiveness of its army. To avoid this Germany signed the non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union. This pact worried the Allied powers. As I mentioned earlier the west saw Hitler's Germany as a buffer against the Soviet Union. When both countries entered into an agreement it worried the fist. In addition to this in 1939 Italy signed the pact of steel with Germany in March 1939. This formed a military and political alliance and the pact solidified Italy's alignment with Nazi Germany. The same year Hitler broke the assurance that he gave under the munich pact. In 1939 Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia. The same year Hitler attacked Poland. This was the final act which resulted in the declaration of war by Britain and France against Germany. Britain and its allies were the Allied side. Germany and its allies like Italy and Japan were the Axis powers. Immediately after the declaration of war there were no major military offensive for several months. That is between September 1939 and April 1940. This initial period of war without military action is often termed as the period of foreign wars. During this period both sides started arming themselves for the war. World War II was fought on two distinct fronts Europe and the Asia Pacific. In Europe the war was fought by the allies against Germany and Italy. In the Asia Pacific the allies fought Japan. On the western front Germany employed the Blitzkrieg strategy. Blitzkrieg in Germany means lightning war. It is a military strategy and tactic used during World War II. The main characteristics of Blitzkrieg were speed, surprise and the coordinated use of various military elements. The strategy aimed to achieve quick and decisive victories by overwhelming the enemy.  Later Germany launched air rights over the British but the Royal Air Force of Britain successfully defended against the German air rights. Later in 1941 Germany broke the non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union and launched Operation Barbosa invading the Soviet Union. Although the Germans initially met with success, the operation culminated in the battle of Stalin guard which lasted from 17th July 1942 to 2nd February 1943. See the Russian people suffered from bad working and living condition and so Hitler hoped that an anti-Stalin revolution would emerge. But the people of Russia stayed loyal. They successfully defended the city of Stalin guard. It stopped the German advance into the Soviet Union and marked the turning of the tide of war in favour of the Allies. This marked the beginning of the end of German aggression. See the Allies of Germany did not perform well either. Although Italy had some success in the initial years of war in Albania it started facing losses. For example in the battle of El Alamein 1942 the Allied forces defeated the German and Italian forces and chased them out of North Africa. Then using North Africa as a base the Allies invaded Italy. In 1943 Benito Mussolini was thrown out of power and a new government came to power in Italy. This government surrendered to the Allied forces in 1943. On the Eastern Front Imperial Japan was as brutal as the Germans and was making rapid progress. It occupied China, Korea and various islands of Southeast Asia. Its next focus was on the Pacific Islands but the USA had a major presence in the Pacific so the Japanese decided to attack Pearl Harbor in 1941. The idea was to cripple America's Pacific fleet so that Japan would not face any opposition in its offensive against the islands of the Pacific Ocean. Due to the Pearl Harbor attack the USA declared war on Japan and later on Germany. Once the USA entered the war on the side of the Allies the Allies started making gains. In 1944 the Allied forces launched the D-Day invasion in Normandy France to gain a foothold in mainland Europe. It was a victory. Germany already lost its major ally in Europe when Italy surrendered in 1943. Now Germany has to fight war on two sides on against the combined forces of Britain the USA and France in the west and the Russia forces in the east. Slowly the German army was forced back on all sides. Sensing the end Hitler committed suicide in 1945 finally Germany surrendered. The war on the Eastern Front went on for some time. The USA and its allies fought major battles in the Pacific against the Japanese. Here the USA employed the island hopping strategy to save men and material. The strategy basically means advancing through the Pacific islands controlled by the Japanese imperial army and navy with the ultimate goal of reaching Japan and defeating its forces. Instead of attempting to capture every Japanese held island the Allied forces selectively targeted strategically important islands by passing heavily fortified ones that were not essential to the overall campaign. The captured islands were converted into bases for further invasion but this strategy has also proved costly. While this was going on Robert Oppenheimer and his team through the Manhattan project were working on building the nuclear bomb. On July 16, 1945 the first successful test of an atomic bomb took place at the Trinity test site in New Mexico. Later to bring the war to a quick end the US President Harry Truman decided to use the atomic bomb on Japan.  The bombings resulted in significant destruction and loss of life and Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945 effectively ending World War II. So these are all some of the important events that happened during World War II. Hope you got a brief timeline about what happened during World War II. So these learned points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Now take a look at this data it analyzes the efficiency of the employees provide and fund EPF scheme. The article says that EPF data used by the Indian government is misleading. The author also argues that the Indian government has neglected other sources of formal employment and labor data that could have been used to verify the EPF data. So in this news article discussion let us discuss what are the issues mentioned in the article regarding this EPF scheme and also the importance of formal employment in India. First let us see some basics about employees provide and fund EPF scheme. See the EPF scheme is a retirement benefit scheme for employees and it is administered by the employees provide and fund organization in short called as EPF 4. Employees and employers contribute 12% of the employees basic salary and DNS allowance to the EPF scheme. This contribution can be withdrawn at the time of retirement death or other eligible events. Apart from this the EPF scheme offers a number of benefits including a tax break, a guaranteed return on investment and protection against inflation. Now we shall see some of the criticism mentioned in the news article. See the Indian government has been using the employees provide and fund that is EPF schemes data to measure form and job creation in the country. However the number of regular contribute to the EPF scheme has remained relatively stagnant or even declined in recent years. This shows that the majority of enrollments into the EPF or temporary or casual workers. Now look at this chat the regular contributors to EPF scheme remind stagnant but the enrollments increased massively. So from this we can understand that the Indian economy appears to be creating jobs but these are not formal or regular jobs. Most of the jobs created in the country in recent years are only informal jobs. According to the author of the article this stagnation in formal employment can be partially attributed to the pandemic. However it is also due to the government's neglect of other sources of labor data. For example the employment data collected by the Director General of Employment and Training in short called as DGET has not been published since 2013. Note that the EPF scheme is potentially a good source to determine payroll employment but it needs more standard procedures in the data collection process. Moreover relying on a single data source is insufficient to understand the trends in formal employment and jobs in the country. See understanding and addressing the issues of job creation need a wide range of labor data right but the government uses EPF data only which is a major limitation. In addition to this the author also suggests that the government and public should be aware of these limitations of the EPF data. These are all some of the important criticisms mentioned in the article. Now we shall see what are the implications of declining formal employment in India. See India has a large and growing working age population. However there is a lack of formal or well-paid employment in India. This lack of good quality jobs is holding back the expansion of India's middle class. If we see China's massive economic growth it was driven by the expansion of its middle class. So India need to create more formal jobs to achieve similar economic growth. You may wonder how formal employment leads to economic growth. See when people have formal jobs they have more money to spend which boost demand for goods and services. This in turn leads to more businesses being created and more jobs being created. So the author of this article suggests that the government needs to take more steps to strengthen the formal sector. When formal employment declines it only affects the poor and marginalized. This is because they are more likely to be employed in the informal sector which pays low wages with poor working conditions. Finally the article concludes by insisting the importance of comprehensive labor data to determine the creation of formal jobs in the country. That's all regarding this news article discussion. In this news article discussion we saw about employees provide and fund scheme. Then we saw some of the criticism regarding collection of labor data. Then we saw what are the implications of declining formal employment in the country. So with these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Take a look at this news article. This news article talks about the launch of an e-clearance portal to facilitate the fast transfer of mortal remains of Indian nationals who die abroad. The portal is launched by the union health ministry. So in this news article discussion we shall see some of the important points about the portal. See the portal will be called as e-clearance for afterlife remains portal in short called as e-gap. As I already said this portal is launched by the union ministry of health to facilitate fast transfer of mortal remains of Indian nationals who die abroad. At present a person needs an email based clearance from the airport health officer to transport the mortal remains of a loved one from another country. The request has to be made through the transporting airlines but this existing system has many barriers which cause delays in transfer. Since the transfer of human remains is a sensitive emotional issue that must be carried out within a shift timeline such an arrangement is made. Now we shall quickly go through the features of the portal. Firstly the government will depute a nodal officer from airport health organization. He will be monitoring the portal 24 by 7. The nodal officers will scrutinize and give fast track approvals within 48 hours timeline. In the first 36 hours the concerned authority will be intimated every 12 hours to fast track the clearance. In the next 12 hours escalations will be made at every 4 hours to avoid delays in clearance but to make an application the applicant will have to submit scanned copies of 4 important documents which includes death certificate, embalming certificate, no objection certificate from Indian embassy or consulate and cancelled passport of the deceased. The portal has two provisions one for bringing dead bodies from abroad while the other one is to bring mortal remains. The portal will ensure seamless coordination and transparency in the entire procedure. For example as a part of the plan the information will be updated through email, text and WhatsApp messages to Central International Health Division, nodal officer, the airport health organization APHO, then concedencies and respective airlines. The final verification of the original document will be performed at the airport by the concerned official. During this entire process the application status can also be reviewed in the e-care portal with the help of a registration number held by stakeholders. Simultaneously the conceding, the concerned APHOs, the airlines, the nodal officer and the central international health division that is CIHT all will be integrated through a common portal and will be aware of the procedures. So overall uniformity in the entire process will be ensured and it will also remove subjectivity by respective airport health officers. As per Union Health Ministry, advantages of the initiatives include 24x7 accessibility, fasted clearance, instant exchange of messages for easy tracking, accountability, flexibility in the mode of application where anyone from the family of the deceased can apply and become the contigene and not just the airlines. Apart from this, the portal will also provide coordination of multiple stakeholders over one interface. So that is all about the e-care portal. It is a very good initiative of the central government. You can use it as an example anywhere in your main cancer writing. That is why we made an effort to explain about the portal in detail. So these learnt points, now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Take a look at this news article. See the parliament has passed a new law that will enable private companies to mine lithium reserves. See this is a significant development for economy because mining lithium will become more efficient if private companies also participate in the mining process. Note that lithium reserves were discovered earlier this year in German Kashmir and the government has said it hopes to find more reserves later this year. This is the crux of the article given here. In this context, let us discuss the importance of lithium and its presence in India. First, let us see what are the highlights of this new law. See the mines and minerals development and regulation amendment bill was passed in parliament yesterday. The bill allows the private sector to mine 6 out of 12 atomic minerals. At present only state agencies are allowed in the mining of these minerals. So as per the new law the private can also mine them by participating in the auction process. Here you might have a doubt what are these atomic minerals. Atomic minerals are the minerals that contain uranium, thorium and other rare metals. For example, lithium, beryllium, niobium, titanium, tantalum, zirconium etc or atomic minerals. Previously lithium was also classified as an atomic mineral which means it can be mined only by state owned companies. The new amendment act removes lithium from this list so that private companies can be allowed to mine it. The bill also provides similar provisions to critical minerals. Here the critical minerals or mineral resources that are essential to the economy and whose supply may be disrupted. Ministry of Mines has identified 30 critical minerals for India. Important thing to note here is that the list of critical minerals is not fixed. It will be periodically updated from time to time. For example as of now critical minerals or gold, silver, copper, lead, platinum, diamond and etc. So if you ask what are the advantages of this amendment bill, see the government expect that this will lead to an increase in exploration and mining of lithium in India. This is a positive development for India's electric vehicle that is EV industry. The country is already a major producer of lithium ion batteries and this amendment act will help ensure a secure supply of lithium resources for the growing Indian economy. Additionally critical minerals are essential for green technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, batteries and electric vehicles. The involvement of private sector in mining these minerals will bring advanced technology, finance and expertise to the sector. These minerals are vital for defence, aerospace, nuclear and space applications. So in order to strengthen defence and self-reliance, India must secure a steady supply of critical minerals. Even though the amendment act has many potential advantages, there are still oppositions for this act. For example, states like Kerala has opposed the bill and urged the centre to hold discussions with all mineral rich states before passing the bill. However, the bill was passed by the parliament despite the opposition. Also note that the forest amendment bill which we often discuss in previous videos is also passed by the parliament yesterday along with the mines and minerals amendment bill. That's all regarding this news article discussion. In this news article discussion we saw some of the highlights of mines and minerals development and regulation amendment bill. With these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Look at this quiz section from the science page. Various questions about the Indian space program are given. Let us try and answer these questions. Look at this first question. Under the guidance of Vikram Sarabhai, the Indian government set up X in 1962 under the Department of Atomic Energy. X became the Indian Space Research Organization ISRO seven years later. They are asking the name of X. See the correct answer here is Indian National Committee for Space Research in short called as INCOSPAR. See INCOSPAR was established in 1962 under the guidance of Vikram Sarabhai and seven years later in 1969 it was restructured and became the Indian Space Research Organization ISRO. The primary objective of INCOSPAR was to formulate and coordinate India's space research activities. It aimed to access the feasibility of space technology applications for national development. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai's vision and leadership played a vital role in shaping INCOSPAR and later ISRO. He emphasized the importance of space technology for national development including applications in agriculture, communications, weather forecasting and remote sensing. Here note that it was INCOSPAR that took the decision to set up TUMBA Equatorial Rocket Launching Station TRLS at TUMBA on the southern tip of India. With this basic understanding now we will move on to the next question. India launched its first satellite, RA Bata on board a Soviet Union launch vehicle in 1975 which was India's first satellite that it launched on its own rocket in 1980. See India's first satellite launched on its own rocket was Rohini-1. It was indeed launched on July 18, 1980 using the satellite launch vehicle SLV-3. SLV-3 was India's first indigenously developed launch vehicle. The successful launch of Rohini-1 marked a significant milestone in India's space program as it demonstrated the country's capability to launch satellites into space using its own launch vehicle. Now moving on to the third question. Between the SLV-3 and the widely successful PSLV programs, ISRO had the Dash program centered on a five-stage rocket to carry satellites weighing up to 150 kilograms to low earth orbit. You have to fill in the blanks with the name of the rocket that saw only one complete success in 1994. See between the SLV-3 and the widely successful PSLV programs ISRO had the ASLV that is augmented satellite launch vehicle program. It was centered on a five-stage rocket to carry satellites weighing up to 150 kilograms to low earth orbit. The rocket that saw only one complete success in 1994 was the ASLV-D4. This project was started by India during the early 1980s to develop technologies needed for a payload to be placed into a geostationary orbit. But ISRO did not have sufficient funds for both the Bola satellite launch vehicle program and the ASLV program at the same time and the ASLV program was terminated after the initial developmental flights. As I already mentioned, only the ASLV D4 mission achieved complete success. After the ASLV program, ISRO shifted its focus to other launch vehicle programs like the PSLV and GSLV. Now moving on to the next question, the ISRO propulsion complex is where the organization tests all its engines during development and before major launches in which district is this facility located. See the ISRO propulsion complex that is IPRC is located in Tamil Nadu, India. It is situated in Mahendragiri, a village in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. The IPRC is responsible for testing and developing various rocket engines and propulsion system used in ISRO's space mission. Now moving on to the last question, at the time of launch which instrument onboard the Astrosat Space Telescope boasted the best spectral capabilities ever to study radiation of energy 80 to 250 keV. See the correct answer for this question is cadmium zinc telluride imager in short called as CZTI. CZTI is one of the five instruments onboard the Astrosat India's first dedicated multi wavelength space observatory. Now let's see a few facts about Astrosat. See Astrosat is India's first dedicated space astronomy observatory launched 650 kilometer on September 28, 2015. It was launched using a PSLV C-30 XL rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Center Sriharikota. Astrosat carries a total of five scientific payloads. These payloads will help study galatic and extra-galatic cosmic sources in a wide range of wavelengths. The satellite can observe wavelengths from far-altaviolet to gamma rays. That's all regarding the ISRO quiz. Now the questions displayed here are the main practice questions for you today. Try to write an answer and post it in the comment section.
