Well now, I don't expect to see this this morning, so Nintendo sent out a PR email listing off all of the downloads for this week in the United States. They also do this in Europe and other countries. But the United States one is particularly interesting because nestled in the end of the email when they say also new this week and then it is listing off a bunch of titles. This is usually where you find all of the indie titles. It'll do to Uno, Rhyme, Batman, the Telltale series, Lego, Marvel, Superheroes 2, etc, etc, etc. Nestled in there right after Koei DX, which is coming to the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch, is Hulu coming on the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch. And this is slated for, I don't know when. Some people are saying that it's coming today. Some people are saying that it's coming later this week or next week. I don't know, but it is coming out within the next seven days.  My subscription is currently inactive, but I will reactivate it since I can use it on Nintendo Switch. Now why this is important is because it would mark the first video on demand application to run on Nintendo Switch natively in the United States. Now in Japan they have been running Niko Niko, which is like their version of YouTube. It's interesting that this is happening now because a lot of the rumors and speculation are on why video on demand hasn't launched yet is because Nintendo was waiting to launch their online service. Not that Hulu, Netflix and all that stuff would be hidden behind that service, but maybe there would be better infrastructure in place for those applications to launch at that time. Now with Hulu launching now, it begs the question, where are the other video on demand services? Now we have heard rumors in the past that Netflix, like the Netflix app, has been ready to go on Switch this whole time and they're just waiting for on Nintendo to say, yeah, you can do it. Now we don't know, obviously it's a rumor, we cannot confirm that that's the case, but with Hulu coming out, you have to start wondering now, where is Netflix? Where is YouTube? Where are these other services that are actually bigger than Hulu? Where is Amazon Prime? I don't know. The only thing I can think of right now is Nintendo might be trying to slow roll out these services. So if we get Hulu this week, next week maybe we get YouTube, the week after we get Netflix, the week after we get, I don't know, Amazon Prime, or maybe they include Voodoo, maybe they start opening the floodgates to even that. Personally, I would love to see them support Direct TV now since that's how I watch cable TV services. But yeah, this is awesome, like Nintendo, thank you very much for finally at least starting out with Hulu, how to get the Hulu app launched on Switch. Again, at the time of me recording this, it has not launched yet, rumors are saying it's coming today, but the PR email does not list a date for it, it just says it is coming this week. And since some of the other titles go through November 14th, you can assume that it's sometime in the next six days or so, we are going to see this. So from Thursday to Thursday, we have a shot at getting Hulu, not even a shot, it's a guaranteed shot, Nintendo's advertising it. Now it's always possible they accidentally slip that in there and Hulu isn't going to launch, but so far, every single email they have sent out like this, sent, Switch released, all of the titles in those emails have released in that week, so there's no reason not to believe this. This comes from the horse's mouth. Let me know if you're excited for Hulu, I know I am, I have a few shows that I'm a little behind on, I've been trying to catch up with them on DirectTV Now, but admittedly Hulu is almost a better DVR service than DirectTV Now is. DirectTV Now is great for live stuff, I actually only have DirectTV Now, so I can have access to HBO and all that stuff for relatively cheap, and on top of that I get access to watch all of my live sports, like my Milwaukee Bucks this season, but, and Grimit Packers, can't forget about them. Even though they're sucking this year, yay, Aaron Rodgers is hurt, no, but Hulu is always my go-to place, like hey if I missed one of my favorite shows, I can go to Hulu and I can catch it almost instantaneously after the show completes. Anyways folks, let me know what you think about this down in the comments below, and when you think we're gonna start getting the other video on demand services, are you excited to finally, after all this time, have this stuff coming to Switch, I am the 10-Year Oval Chance from Nintendo Prime, and if you liked this video, you know what to do, and if you disliked the video, hit that dislike button, subscribe for more content just like this, and hey, why don't you check out our giveaway down in the comments below, or the comments, the description below, there's a Gleam.io link for our Nintendo Switch triple A three-pack giveaway of LNOR, DOOM, and Skyrim that ends at the end of this month, check it out, enter, it's completely free, the only, you know, stipulations that is that you have to be old enough to receive the games, so whatever rating the game has in your given country, you must be, you know, at that age or higher.

All this month, get up to $50 off any Android smartphone from Appalachian Wireless, any Android you desire. All $50 off with two-year agreement, better service, bigger savings, that's today's Appalachian Wireless and East Kentucky Network Company. East Kentucky Broadcasting teamed up with Pikeville Medical Center today in an effort to raise money for those affected by the recent hurricanes in Texas and Florida. Money raised during the live radio telethon will benefit the American Red Cross. In these times of need, the Red Cross shows up even before the event if we have enough leeway like we do with hurricanes and we set up recovery needs for the next steps for people to be safe and well and taken care of. We feed, we make sure they have water, shelter, the very basic needs to get them through the next few days and then into the recovery process. Organizers say the response was phenomenal and they were not surprised by the many donations that were received. We have helped out in so many different situations, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, so we really put together a good team that can pull these things together and most of all it's the people in our community that answer the call when we say let's help, they do it. I think Kentucky people are the most generous people I've ever met in my life and I couldn't be happier. Donations came in large and small quantities, however, organizers say it was a team effort anchored by the community. We are coming together to do what we do best right here in Eastern Kentucky and that's of course to help people who are in need. We had a massive donation today from our friends at Double Quick, can't thank them enough, $5,000 today donated to this cause. They took our donation jars, 35 of them put them in all their stores and then they kicked in a little bit as well and came up with $5,000 for the effort today. If you were unable to donate during today's live radio telethon, you can still do so by going online to ekycares.com. In Pikeville, Shelby Steele, EKB News.


Hi, this is your host Ablim Bhartia and welcome to the 2023 Predictions series. And today we have with us once again, or vice, CEO and co-founder of Permit IO. Or it's great to have you on the show. It's great to be here. Really excited.  But quickly remind us, what is the company all about? Permit is a full stack permission solution with the premise of never having to build permissions again. Every product has to have access control and permissions, but there's no reason for developers to keep building it. So we provided out of the box so you can actually focus on building your product. Excellent. And now it's time for you to grab your crystal ball and tell us what predictions you have. So number one, DevSecOps and DevSecurity is going to consume the entire space. We've seen the complexity of software rising. We've seen everything shifting left, but I'm afraid that was only the start. In this upcoming year, we'll see security trickling down to every persona, every stakeholder would have to be involved in some way. We'll have to produce new tools, new flows, new interactions where the product managers, the compliance people themselves, sales, marketing, everyone will be able and will be required to chime in on security. As zero trust locks in all the spaces, we'll need everyone touching every space to participate in building security. Number two, effects on development technology and everything as code. So in the past few years, infrastructure as code has dramatically dominated the space and became a standard. And it's already starting to affect other spaces, configuration as code, policy as code. Our supply chain as code, we're seeing that with our software bill of materials with S-bomb. So we'll be literally seeing everything as code. Every little piece of ground that we've so far just left for humans and maybe more simpler data and schema configurations is going to be filled with code and those would be harnessing more people to write that code. Some of them will be writing it as classic code and coding languages and some of them will have to start harnessing no code, low code interfaces, which brings us to number three, low code, no code. This has been a buzzword for a while. We've seen platforms and solutions coming up to dominate the space with that specific differentiating offer and this is gonna become less of a gimmick and less of a utility and more something that is coming throughout the entire space. We'll be seeing low code, no code being powered by new interfaces. If drag and drop was the way to go with it in the past, more and more we'll see more sophisticated interfaces, mainly driven by AI, things that like generative AI with prompt engineering becoming a basically a classic way to interact with most of our software. This will essentially mean that every one will become an engineer because you'll be driving complex systems with these interfaces and more often than not, these interfaces will also be generating code for you. Number four, basically bringing all of these together. We'll see security proliferate into the entire space. We'll see policy is code and everything is code becoming the baseline of how we manage all of our complexities and we'll see how no code through AI interfaces and other simplifying interfaces become the way that we manage all of these things together. So security, everything is code and low code to connect it all together. That's what I'm seeing for 2023. Thanks for sharing those predictions. Tell us a bit about what is going to be the focus for the company in 2023. Obviously a lot of the predictions that I've given here are from my unique perspective or permits unique perspective into the market. We're in a very interesting intersection of DevSecOps between developers, building software and security for that software. Access control in general is a critical fundamental experience that every application has to have. But the more applications are growing it becomes more and more complex to manage them. So that really forces us as permit alongside the customers we support to tackle the question of how can we manage that complexity and how we can make it easy enough for everyone building a product to actually focus on building the product as opposed to dealing with all of this complexity. And I think people are seeing that just like with authentication and encryption you less and less want to roll authorization on your own. You wanna rely on something. And so with these predictions we are essentially seeing that we have to bring these interfaces to the market. We need to enable our customers to work with low code to be able to manage their policies to be able to define their zero trust architectures and security into what they're building with DevSecOps. And in the end of the day to keep everything manageable to keep everything with a single source of truth we really think that that's where policies code is coming in. And that really forces us to build very, very fine tuned interfaces for our customers. So all of these things can chime in together. What are the challenges that you see will be there in 2023 and how do you see permit helping customers kind of navigate through some of those challenges? I think one of the unique things that will kind of come to a head in 2023 is the widespread and depth of compliance. It's been, it's kind of a dragon looming in the background for quite a while. We've started to see a take effect with GDPR and CCPA and even classic things like SOC2 and HIPAA. These are kind of driven, I wouldn't say by a vicious cycle but some kind of cycle more and more companies are catering to more compliance companies and as a result, they have to be compliant themselves. At this point, I think within 2023, maybe 2024 we'd be hard pressed to find any B2B company that doesn't have at least one's compliance certification in place. So this kind of creates a baseline, essentially for the market, kind of a tide that floats all both. Everyone would have to face compliance. Everyone is gonna have to go through these processes and then the question is, what tools do they have in place to mitigate all of this additional work that is being added? And for permit specifically, we are realizing that a huge percentage of the work around compliance is essentially work around checks and balances of access control. Who can do what? So automating that, creating the interfaces to work with them more easily becomes not just something that is important in accelerating and it becomes something that is critical so you can actually get to building the things that you want. Thank you so much for taking time out today and of course share these predictions with us. I didn't want to put any pressure but of course we'll have you next year again. And hold a scorecard to see how many of these predictions turn out to be true and get a new set of predictions for next year but I really appreciate your insights today and look forward to talk to you soon. Thank you. Thank you. I look forward for next year and thanks for having me.


Welcome back to Tennis Talk, my name's Cam Williams and it's time to make our predictions for the Grand Slams for 2022 for the WTA for the women's tournaments. Now, this is nearly impossible. I mean, we all know that the WTA is random as it is. Let's start with the Australian Open though because this is a little bit of an interesting pick. The Australian Open is only a month away. Maybe the easiest one to pick. Let's go check it out. So starting with the Australian Open for 2022, you guys have gone and picked Ash Barty, which is a pretty good pick. She is the favourite to win the tournament, played very well there in the past. A lot of you thought maybe Naomi Osaka as well, but at this moment, I think Ash Barty is the most informed player and she is the top seed and the favourite and the hometown favourite. So interesting pick. And I've also gone with Ash Barty for all of those reasons. So we've both gone with Barty at the start of the year. We've both been with Osaka at the start of last year. So maybe we can both get it right and get the first one on the board. So the Australian Open, we've both gone with the hometown hero Ash Barty. But again, you know, the random things happen in all the tournaments and the Australian Open could be a little bit random, but look, we'll go with the top seed, we'll go with the favourite. See what happened. Barty, she played well at Wimbledon. She actually played well at the Australian Open last year up until that quarter-final loss. Let's go check out the French Open though because the French Open over the last few years has been super random on the women's side. Alright, so let's look at the women's French Open champion for next year.  You guys think that she can get her second Grand Slam title and a second French Open title next year? Not a bad pick. Had a pretty good clay court season this year. And my pick, it's a little bit different. I'm going to go with Bedossa. I think that Bedossa had a really good season on the clay this year. And I feel like on the slower surfaces, like Indian Wells, where she won, I think she can do well. So I'm going to go with Bedossa to win the French Open next year. The French Open, it always is a bit random, so it's very tough to pick. For all we know, someone outside the top 100 could win it. As this happened over the last few slams in the WTA. So we'll see what happens at the French Open. Very random. Sarkari could have been a pick. Sabalenka's not bad. Bardi also was a popular one and Mugaruta. So there's some interesting names there, but we'll see what happens. It's always very random at the French Open. Let's go check out Wimbledon for next year. So looking at the Wimbledon title for next year, you guys have gone with Ash Bardi, which is a good pick, defending champion, very, very good on the grass this season and played very well at the Wimbledon tournament. Beed a lot of good players to win that title. Well deserved. And I almost went with Bardi, but I decided to change my pick at the last minute. I went with Sabalenka. Now Sabalenka made the semi-finals, ended up losing the Plishkibar. But I feel like it might be a Bardi-Sabalenka final. I feel like Sabalenka will get the win just based on her power and the fast surface of the grass. So that's why I picked Sabalenka. I feel like next year, she's due to win her first major of her career in the singles. And I feel like it could be the Wimbledon tournament with the fastest surface and her game. So I've gone with Sabalenka. You've gone with Bardi. It could be the final. That would be very fun to watch. So Wimbledon, maybe for the men, is very easy to pick. But for the women, again, it's WTA. It's very hard to pick. You could have put a lot of players in that category. Plishkibar, if she comes good after her early injuries next year, she could probably become good on Stubborn. Played pretty well. Kerber came out of nowhere. I guess you could say this year. Credit to Kerber, she's not bad on the grass, but we've gone with the top two seeds or the top two players in the world. As of now, Bardi and Sabalenka. See what happens in about six months. Everything could change. Let's go look at the US Open Champion because the US Open Champion for this year, no way we would have guessed it. Let's see if we can guess it 12 months away. All right, so looking at the US Open Champion for 2022, you guys have gone with Naomi Osaka. And I'll tell you what, that's not a bad pick. She obviously didn't win it this year. She played pretty poorly this year. And we all know that she had her troubles off court. But she did win it two years ago and she seems to win it every second year. So maybe there's a bit of a pattern there. And that's also why I picked Naomi Osaka. I feel like if she's playing her best, she owns the US Open. She is just so good at the US Open if she plays her best. And she lost to Fernandez this year, coming in with not much matches behind her. You know, didn't have much practice, I guess you could say, between events. So I feel like Naomi Osaka, if she's playing her best, the US Open is hers for the taking and you guys think the same. So there we go. We've gone both with Osaka to finish off the year. We think Osaka's gonna win the US Open next year. Look, I think she's played very well there. When the pressure isn't on, when she's the defending champion, she doesn't play as well in the past. So I feel like maybe not being the defending champion, not as much pressure, she might be able to fly under the radar and maybe steal the title. So there you have it. They are the picks for the Grand Slams for next year. And I'll tell you what, if we get one out of four, I mean, that's pretty good because the WTA is nearly impossible. All the players we picked are, I guess, somewhat obvious with Bardi and Osaka and Sabalenka. All the players that have either done well in the past or are at the top of the game right now. But let me know down in the comments below. Who are you gonna pick? Who are your personal picks for the WTA? Because I'll tell you what, if you can pick the WTA sick or 12 months in advance and you get at least two or three right, you are doing something crazy. So write them down in the comments below because it's gonna be very interesting to see in 12 months time how many of these we actually get right. They're the predictions for the WTA for 2022, the winners of the Grand Slams. Let's see how well we do.


A very good evening. Welcome again to the Hindi News Analysis by Shankara AS Academy for the date 29th March 2021. This is a list of topics along with the page numbers listed for your reference. The description box is timestamped for your convenience also. Let's move to the discussion. This editorial talks about the recent Supreme Court judgment on the Loan Moratorium case. From the title, Sakkar means help. Here, Limited Sakkar indicates that the judgment of Supreme Court in the moratorium case, although helpful, is not adequate. In this context, let's understand the issue, the Supreme Court judgment, and its relevance. Here is the syllabus for your understanding. First of all, let us discuss the background of the issue. You might remember that on 23rd March 2020, the Reserve Bank of India had announced a moratorium on loan installments due between March 1st and May 31st. The moratorium period was later extended by three months till August 31st 2020. See, in this context, moratorium period refers to the period of time during which you do not have to pay an EMI or interest on the loan taken. Please note that it is not a waiver, but it is a mere postponement. The moratorium was intended to provide borrowers relief during the COVID-19 pandemic, enabling them to defer payments on the EMI's and the loans. The RBI had to clarify that such treatment will not lead to any change in the terms and conditions of the loan agreements, which will remind the same as announced in and for the previous moratorium extension period. While the moratorium was only a deferral of EMI's and not a waiver, there were demands that banks should also waive off the interest amount during those six months. Banks, however, refused a total waiver, saying the cost will be huge. There were also petitions in the Apex Court seeking extension of the moratorium period beyond six months. Last week, the Apex Court rejected the pleas from various trade associations and corporate bodies to extend the six-month loan moratorium period offered by Reserve Bank of India. It also said that complete waiver of interest during the moratorium could not be granted because it can have repercussions on the economy. Another important observation made by one of the judges is that the top court cannot do judicial review of center's financial policy decisions unless it is Malafide or arbitrary and understand this in the context of separation of powers and due process of law. However, on the bright side, the Supreme Court said no one can levy interests on interest or penal interests. Earlier, central government had given waiver on penal interest for small loans for two crores or less. So the Supreme Court observed that there is no rationale in the center's policy to limit the benefit of waiver for a certain category of loans. So the Apex Court has expanded the ambit. The Apex Court has directed that there should be no interest or penal interest on any amount during the loan moratorium from any borrower. Hence, it directed a refund of all compound interests only levy during moratorium period. This is a welcome step. The author also appreciates this decision. Why? Because in reality, compound interest is a penal interest. That is, it is intended to impose a cost on willful or deliberate default. In this case, however, the borrower's decision to defer payment of installments by availing of the moratorium could not be considered as willful default. So this decision is a welcome relief to borrowers across categories and loan sizes. The author says that it adds an estimated burden of about 7500 crore on the lenders. Earlier, the central government had told the Supreme Court that waiving interest on all the loans to all categories of borrowers for the moratorium period during the pandemic would result in about rupees 6 lakh crore in foregone amount. So waiving the amount would have wiped out a substantial part of the net worth of the banks. You know, rupees 6 lakh crore is a huge amount, right? So that is why economic experts cited the Supreme Court judgment as prudent. And let us also not forget that the government had also spent and taken measures such as providing transportation to migrants, etc. And even its tax revenue had fallen during the pandemic. So it's a huge burden on the exchequer. But we all agree that pandemic was an unprecedented disaster. So it is unprecedented in terms of health and economic cost. It has imposed on all sections of the society as well. So it is the responsibility of the state to cushion the businesses and the banks in the crisis situation. So policy makers should come up with urgent measures to mitigate the debt crisis faced by all sections of the society, especially for the small, formal, and informal enterprises and also for the lower income households. This news article mentions that Tamil Nadu has the highest revenue deficit among the election bound states. So in this context, let us understand what is a revenue deficit. As you know, when expenditure exceeds revenue, it is deficit. Similarly, when a government spends more than what it collects by way of revenue, it incurs a budget deficit. And there are various measures that capture government deficits and they have their own implications for the economy. And one such measure is revenue deficit. It refers to the excess of government's revenue expenditure over revenue receipts. In other words, revenue deficit occurs when government's total revenue expenditure exceeds its total revenue receipts. Here, revenue expenditure is expenditure incurred for the purpose other than the creation of physical assets or financial assets of the central government. That is, revenue expenditure relates to those expenses done by the government for the normal functioning of the government departments and the various services and expenses incurred for, say, interest payments on debt incurred by the government. And this also includes grants given to the state governments and other parties. Pay attention to this part. So revenue expenditure will also include the grants given to the state governments and other parties. And any expenditure that doesn't result in capital formation or asset creation is revenue expenditure. So revenue expenditure will not contribute to the future of the economy. It will only cater to everyday expenditure. So revenue receipts, by definition, are those receipts that do not lead to claim on the government. They are therefore termed as non-redeemable. Simply put, these receipts or incoming wealth need not be paid back by the government to the source of the wealth from where it originates. It can be people or anything else. And the revenue receipts are divided into tax revenues and non-tax revenues. Tax revenues comprise those of direct taxes, indirect taxes, custom duties, basically revenues from the tax collection. Non-tax revenues mainly consist of interest receipts on account of loans by central government, then dividends and profits on investments made by the government. For example, in public sector undertakings and all, then fees and other receipts for services rendered by the government. And finally, the cash and grants from foreign countries and international organizations. Say for example, India is receiving money from UNDP for some projects as a grant, which need not be paid back. Based on this formula, the revenue deficit is calculated as revenue expenditure minus revenue receipts. This means revenue deficit includes only such transactions that affect the current income and expenditures of the government. And today's news is that, as per the report, TN has the highest revenue deficit among the polebound state. So when government incurs revenue deficit, what does it mean? It simply implies that the government is dissaving. Dissaving is nothing but spending money beyond once available income. So for the government, dissaving means that it is using up the savings of the sectors of the economy to finance a part of its consumption expenditure, that is non-productive expenses. This situation also means that the government will have to borrow for financing its investments and for fulfilling its day-to-day requirements. Now, this in turn will lead to increase in debt and interest liabilities of the government. Then eventually, this will force the government to cut the expenditure. Where will the government cut the expenditure? Often in the long run, the government will be forced to reduce expenditure on productive capital like building roads, school, etc., or for welfare expenditure, say for health, education, etc. It is because a major part of revenue expenditure is committed expenditure, that is the payment of which cannot be defaulted at any circumstance. So it cannot be reduced at all. For example, consider defense expenditure. It is a committed expenditure, that is it is related to national security concerns so it cannot be reduced. It has very little scope for reduction also. This means that higher revenue deficit would lead to lower growth and adverse welfare implication. So in this context, there is a risk that TN's welfare oriented expenses comma asset creation may dwindle in the long run, which in turn will affect the economy of the state. This open article is written in the wake of a recent notice issued by Supreme Court to the central government and asking it to respond to a petition challenging the Places of Worship Special Provisions Act 1991. So let us see what was the issue and the views of the author who is a senior advocate in the Supreme Court and a former president of Supreme Court Board Association. This is the syllabus for your reference. First know that the petition challenges certain provisions of the 1991 Act and it has sought to declare the sections two, three and four of the Act as invalid. See the objective of the Act is to prohibit any conversion of any place of worship that existed on the August 15 1947 that is on our Independence Day. It also provides for maintenance of a religious character of any place of worship that existed on that day that is August 15 1947. Now the section two provides for definitions where it states that an alteration or change of whatever nature constitutes the term conversion. Further the term place of worship means all the places of public religious worships of any religious denomination or any section without any exceptions. So it covers temples, mosques, gurudwaras, churches, monasteries, etc. Then section three explicitly imposes bar on the conversion of places of worships. This means as per the definition the mosques or the temples that existed on 15 August 1947 shall not be converted at all. Then as per section four these places of worship religious characters should be maintained as maintained by the Act. So even any mosque or church converted to temple or vice versa before that date cannot be converted back. This is why petitioners challenge these sections. Petitioner controversially uses strong language and argues that these sections validate the places of worships that were illegally made by barbaric invaders. So this is a strong language and this has created controversies. Here clearly the petitioner is taking about the Muslim invaders of India especially the Mughals. During Mughal rule many historical monuments including the places of worship that is mosques were built in India. Petitioners argue that due to foreign oppression and invasion the Hindu temple and other places of worships of other religions had certain significance was converted to places of worship belonging to another religion. They argue that the challenges section of the Act are taking away the rights of Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs to reclaim the places of worships through court. So what does the author think regarding the issue? Author feels that this petition gives rise to the issue of Hindu-Muslim communal conflict. See previously such a conflict existed due to Ayodhya issue which is a classic example of conversion of places of worship of one religion to another. So let's see about this issue in slight detail. See the issue was Hindus and Muslims both claimed ownership of a piece of land in Ayodhya. So this land was claimed by Hindus saying it is birthplace of Rama. As per Hindu mythology Lord Rama is said to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu but at this claimed site Babri Masjid which is a mosque existed. Here Muslim community claimed that this mosque was built by the first Mughal emperor which is Babur and Hindus claim that the mosque was built over the Ram temple but this was denied by the Muslim community. Further under the noise of this conflict Babri Masjid was unfortunately demolished by some followers of Hindu community in 1992. Finally this conflict was only settled by Supreme Court and in as late as 2019 in the case law M. Siddik v. Mahant Suresh Das and which is popularly called as Ram Janambumi temple case. But note that the act expressly exempts Ram Janambumi Babri Masjid from the act under section 5 of this act. Now in his judgment Supreme Court permitted the construction of Ram temple at this disputed site at Ayodhya and based on the evidence submitted by the Archaeological Survey of India and it said there was a temple below the destroyed structure of Babri Masjid. Additionally Supreme Court also directed the center to allot about a 5 acre plot to Sunni Vakav board for building a mosque and Supreme Court also directed that the destruction of mosque was a shocking violation of the rule of law. So this is a historic judgment that addressed the issue of conversion of place of worship of one religion to another. So that is why Aadha has pointed out many excerpts from the judgment to establish the fact that the judgment is a clear expression of approval of the act. So let us see how firstly the law imposes unwavering or steady and mandatory norms where it preserves the religious character of every place of worship as it existed on the independence that is 15th of August 1947 and for this under section 4 the act provides for the removal of suits and legal proceedings with respect to the conversion of religious character of any place of worship that is first. Secondly the act protects and secures the fundamental values of the constitution and it is intrinsically related to the obligation of a secular state that is he just says the act has a very secular character. So it reflects the commitment of India to the equality of all religion which is nothing but secularism. Thirdly the act is an affirmation of a solemn duty of the state to preserve and protect the equality of all the faiths as an essential constitutional value and this is a basic feature of our constitution. So most importantly court noted that historical wrongs cannot be remedied by the people taking the law in their own hands. So based on this author establishes that the petitioner's arguments were already repealed by the supreme court in its Ayodhya judgment itself. So author supports the 1991 law stating that it was enacted to satisfy the feelings of the Hindus and also to reassure Muslims about protection of their places of worships. So only exception was Ayodhya has existed on August 15 1947. Now before concluding the article the author has provided the views of framers of constitution on article 25 and article 26. So which is nothing but the right to freedom of religion especially freedom to profess, practice and propagate religion. In short the leaders acclaimed the idea of secular state which is complemented by these articles that is article 25 and 26. So author concludes that supreme court should uphold the views of the leaders and the communal conflict which was subsided and settled in supreme court in Ayodhya issue should not be rekindled by the petition which can prove harmful for the communal harmony. Now this news article is with reference to the ongoing legislative assembly elections of Sam. It talks about the citizenship amendment act which is CAA and this has appeared to have psychologically divided the Bengali majority, Bharatwali and the Assamese majority Brahmaputrawali. It also talks about the national registry of citizens. So before seeing the connection between CAA and NRC let us first have a good understanding about CAA and NRC. This is the syllabus for your reference. So first let us see the basic objective of this. The CAA is an amended version of citizenship act of 1955. Let us pay some close attention to the forthcoming information. The basic objective of this amendment act is to facilitate the granting of Indian citizenship to members of six minority communities who migrated to India from three countries before 31st December 2014. These countries are Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The minority communities mentioned are Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians. These persons who migrated to India without valid travel documents or the members whose travel documents validity had expired will be given Indian citizenship based on this amendment act. Here you need to know that two major amendments which helps in facilitating and fast-tracking the citizenship status of such persons whom we saw now. Firstly section two of the citizenship act of 1955 was amended by inserting a new clause for not treating these persons as illegal migrants. Have a look at this and the next major amendment is to reduce the time period in acquiring citizenship or in other words to fast-track the citizenship through naturalization for these persons. We know that citizenship act of 1955 prescribes five ways of acquiring citizenship. They are one by birth, two by descent, three by registration, four by naturalization and five by incorporation of territory. Here the term naturalization literally means the admittance of a foreigner to the citizenship of a country. For these persons from six communities from three countries which we saw a provision has been inserted in the third schedule as per this amendment. As per this provision the already existing period of not less than 11 years for acquiring citizenship through naturalization has been reduced to not less than five years for these persons. So we can see that the CAA helps in facilitating and fast-tracking the citizenship status for these specific set of people. So remember only for these set of people the time period to acquire citizenship by naturalization has been reduced and for every other person who wish to acquire citizenship through naturalization the time period has not been updated. This is all about this amendment act that you need to know. Now you can see that the Muslim community is excluded from this amendment but know that these persons from Muslim community from these three countries can also acquire Indian citizenship by naturalization but it will take 12 years for them. So remember that after CAA came into force in 2020 it saw widespread opposition from across the country especially the exclusion of one particular community from this citizenship act has become a major concern among the Indian society. It is believed to be violative of article 14 and that it contravenes the secular spirit of the Indian constitution. Many petitions were filed in Supreme Court to stay this act also. Here the protesters of CAA also say that this act will make the national registry of citizens which was published for Assam as ineffective. Now let us have a brief understanding about the NRC which is National Registry of Citizens. See NRC for Assam was a promise made in Assam Accord to identify and deport foreigners from Assam. Know that section 14A1 of Citizenship Act of 1955 the central government may compulsorily register every citizen of India and issue national identity card to him or her. So as you can see there is a word may which means that it is the discretion of the central government to have a NRC and section 14A2 of the act provides that the central government may maintain a national registry of Indian citizens. As we can see NRC is legally sanctioned. So NRC is the registry that contains the names of Indian citizens. This is completely different from the national population registry which contains the names of usual residents. We saw about that in a discussion few days ago if you recollect. So coming back to NRC, NRC the register was prepared for the first time after the conduct of census of 1951 under the director from Ministry of Home Affairs. These registers covered each and every person enumerated during the census of 1951. Ever since NRC is being updated for the first time only now but it has been already updated for the state of Assam. Now let us discuss the issue specific to Assam. It is to be noted that during March 1971 Assam witnessed massive migration from Bangladesh following the liberation war. This led to huge protests in Assam. Finally Assam Accord was signed between the Government of India and the protesters in 1985. One of the important provision of Assam Accord was to find out the illegal migrants from the country of Bangladesh. Note that an NGO also filed a petition in the Supreme Court in 2009 demanding the updation of NRC in order to find out the illegal migrants in the state. The Supreme Court in 2013 laid down the process to update the NRC in Assam. So in accordance with the Supreme Court order the exercise began in 2015 under the supervision of the Supreme Court itself. Note that the objective of updating NRC was to segregate the Indian citizens living in Assam from those who illegally entered from Bangladesh. The final NRC was published in August 31st 2019. Out of 3.3 crore applicants, 3.11 crore figured in the final list about 19 lakh people were left stateless. And by the time NRC was published it became evident that majority of these denied citizenship were Hindus or indigenous tribes. So at this time the CAA came into force. Which means CAA bestows citizenship on illegal immigrants who were identified by NRC. And this was another reason why CAA saw opposition. So this brings us to the conclusion on the discussion of NRC and CAA. This article says that 27 migrated birds were reported dead due to avian influenza in the Pong Dam wildlife sanctuary of Himachal Pradesh. And most of the victims were barheaded goose. So we will have a quick look into what is barheaded geese, Pong Dam and avian flu. Now look at this picture. This is barheaded goose. They have these grey bars on their head. They are known to be one of the highest flying birds in the world and they can fly at altitudes of 25,000 feet. They migrate over the Himalayas where oxygen and temperature levels are extremely low and their IUCN status is least concerned. In India, the barheaded goose breeds at Sokar Lake in Ladakh and at Pong Lake in Himachal Pradesh. They even migrate to Kalidio National Park in Bharatpur and at a Surasarovar birth sanctuary in UP. Last year it was also spotted in Kerala. Coming to Pong Dam and it is a reservoir constructed on the river Bees in the wetland of Shivallik Hills of Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh. Pong Lake now called as Maharana Pratap Sagar Lake came into existence with the construction of earthen management dam at a place known as Pong across the river Bees. It was built in 1975. This reservoir or lake is a famous wildlife sanctuary and one of the international wetland sites declared by Ramsar and also know that Pong reservoir is the most important fish reservoir in the foothills of Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh. So the government of Himachal Pradesh proclaimed this wetland as wildlife birth sanctuary in 1983. This sanctuary was declared as a wetland of national importance by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in 1994. So the Pong Dam is a major wetland which offers a transitory winter ground for several migratory birds. So what is that? It simply means that they rest during winter's year and this includes bar-headed geese, radish shell ducks, pin tails, coots and many others. Coming from the Trans-Himalayan zones in the winter season when the wetland in the Europe and the North and the Central Asia become frozen in the winters. You can browse through the pictures of these birds. They are brilliantly colored and beautiful that way you will remember them better. So finally let us see about avian influenza and infectious viral disease of birds commonly known as bird flu. Wild water folds such as ducks and geese and poultry birds are susceptible to avian influenza and these outbreaks results in epidemics in poultry. Humans are generally not affected by them however some types of avian influenza such as H5N1, H7N9 have caused serious infection in humans as well. Other avian influenza subtypes are H7N3, H7N7, H9N2. Moving on to the next article. Now this news article is with reference to Mandipur National Park. It says that two tiger cubs from the region died apparently due to starvation and the condition of another is critical and is under observation at the Mysuru Zoo. So in this context let us have a brief understanding about Mandipur National Park which repeatedly makes news making it a very important topic. So you can locate the Mandipur National Park here. So Mandipur National Park is also an important tiger reserve located in the village called Bandipur Karnataka. The tiger reserve is situated in the contiguous landscapes between two districts. One is Mysore, another one is Chamarajanakar. Know that it is a distinctive landmass located in the tri-junction areas of the states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. So in this regard it is a part of the western guts and the tiger landscape consisting of Mudumalai Tiger Reserve, Nagarhole Tiger Reserve and Vayanal Wildlife Sanctuary. Together all these four create the India's biggest biosphere reserve which is popularly called as Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The Bandipur along with Nagarhole, Mudumalai, Satyamangalam and Vayanar landscape is the source population in the western guts for the tigers which is estimated to be about 382 around 354 to 411 a variable estimate which constitutes the single largest wild population of tiger in the entire world. Also the landscape of Bandipur, Nagarhole, Mudumalai and Vayanar is home to single largest Asian elephant population in the world. So it is very lush green and it has rivers and forests into it and the park is situated between Kabini River which is a tributary of Kaveri to the north. So Kabini flows to the north and Moyar flows in the south and Nugur river runs through the park. Now look at this news article it talks about the expansion of unique land parcel identification number scheme that is going to be implemented across country by March 2022. See this ULPIN is a 14 digit identification number that will be given to every plot of land in the country within a year. Note this is one of the initiatives under Digital India land records modernization program and this program began in 2008. So in this slide let us see about DIL, RMP and ULPIN scheme. But before that we'll know why is there a need to modernize land records. So under the British Raj the farmers did not have ownership of lands. The land lordship of the land lied with the zamindas, jagirdars etc. Land was concentrated in the hands of a few and there was a proliferation of intermediaries who had no vested interest in self-cultivation. So land records were an extremely bad shape giving rise to mass of litigation and community ownership of land was also common. Land transactions were not recorded and they were carried out based on trust. So fixing ownership legally became a challenge and that is why land records are being modernized. The Digital India land records modernization program is a central sector scheme by the department of land resources and a ministry of rural development. The program began in 2008 and since then has been extended several times as its scope grew. DIL, RMP aims for a modern administration system and it attempts to develop an appropriate integrated land information management system across the country on which different states can also add state specific needs as and when needed or relevant. So here is the components of DIL, RMP have a look at it for the reference. Now coming on to ULPIN system, it will be a 14 digit alpha numeric unique ID for each land parcel. What is the alpha numeric? It will have both alphabets and the numeric. The 14 digit thing will have alphabets and numeric and this code will uniquely identify every survey land parcel of land and helps at preventing land fraud especially in rural India where land records are outdated and disputed. Know that this identification will be based on the longitude and the latitude of the land parcel and is dependent on detailed surveys and geo-referenced maps. The benefits associated with the scheme as enumerated for your reference so we'll go by it one by one. First and foremost is it will ensure uniqueness in all the transactions and will keep the land records always up to date because updating a digital record is much easier. Link of all property transaction will get established so thereby fixing ownership will also become easier. Delivery of citizen service of land records through a single window so this is an effort to bring transparency in land transaction and sharing of land records data across departments financial institutions and all stakeholders so this will give rise to a legitimate data that is very reliable and apart from that effective integration and interoperability across departments by standardizing the data and the level of application. So from department to people also everything is integrated this is what this tries to imply. Apart from ULPIN national generic document registration system linking of code to land records integration of consent based Aadhaar number with land records are some of the other initiative of DI LRMP for your reference. Now let us move on to practice questions first question. Consider the following statements revenue deficit is the difference of government's revenue receipts and revenue expenditure this statement is correct in other words revenue deficit occurs when the government's total revenue expenditure exceeds its total revenue receipts that is revenue deficit is revenue expenditure minus revenue receipts statement one is right revenue expenditure is the expenditure incurred for the purpose other than the creation of physical assets or financial assets of the central government statement two is also correct so the correct option is option C consider the following statements the protected area is located at the tri-junction area of the state of Karnataka Tamil Nadu and Kerala the second statement is the protected area along with its adjoining landscape constitutes the single largest wild population of tigers in the world and the third statement goes dry deciduous forests in the dominant type of the biome in this protected area the statements given above refers to which of the following protected areas so all these statements mentioned here are about bandipur national park that we saw in the discussion today so the correct option is B so here is another factual question the Pong dam which was named as Maharana Pratap Sagar is a famous wildlife sanctuary and a Ramsar site the dam is constructed on which of the following rivers so this is a factual question the correct option is option A we saw this in the discussion also today with reference to places of worship special provisions act 1991 which of the following statement is or are correct the first statement is it declass that the religious character of a place of worship existing on the 26th the day of January 1950 shall continue to be the same as it existed on that day this statement is incorrect because it should be 15th of August 1947 as per section 4 1 of the act so consider the second statement it allows conversion of any place of worship of any religious denomination to a different section of the same religious denomination statement 2 is also incorrect because the act imposes a blanket ban conversion of places of worship as per section 3 no person shall convert any place of worship of any religious denomination or any section thereof into a place of worship of a different section of the same religious denomination or of a different religious denomination of any section that is any sort of conversion is not allowed so the correct option is option D so consider the following statements with reference to digital India land records modernization program the first statement is it is a centrally sponsored scheme by the department of land resources statement one is correct because it is under ministry of rural development under this mentioned department consider the second statement national generic document registration system is a initiator under this this statement is also correct the national generic document registration system aims to provide one nation one software for registration of documents and properties to empower the citizen it is a move to enhance transparency in the governance and the national generic document registration system is under the broad ages of digital India land records modernization program so the correct option is see both one and two in 2019 the final update of national registry of citizens was published by the government of India so in this context consider the following statement so first statement is it was the first time the nrc was updated statement one is correct nrc was prepared for the first time after the conduct of the census in 1951 under the directive of ministry of home affairs these registers cover each and every person enumerated during census of 1951 ever since nrc was never updated and this was the first time it was updated in 2019 it was updated for the entire nation this statement is wrong because it was updated only for the state of Assam and consider the third statement the objective of updating nrc was to identify illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and statement three is factually right so the correct option will be option b one and three only so this is a main question for your reference you can write the answer for this main question and post it in the comment section so that brings us to the end of today's analysis the period of links are given below for the notes if you like the video kindly like share and subscribe good day

Just the Warriors are left there, $200 off, $200 off. Let me tweet that really quick. Just the Warriors on old Facebook. Here we go, the finest, let's see, it's true. Here we go, let's see what we've got. Just imagine, dude, that would be silly. Did somebody have that? I don't know if it was a full case. Could have been. Garrett Mitchell Refractor, Moments, Byron Buxton, nice one there, Twins on the auto. Moments, Seah, Ted Liners, Wattie, Naylor, and a Julius Votto. That is Von Grissom to 300. Gold auto, Jordan Walker, going to the Cardinals. Nice J-Walk, 47 of 50, hell yeah, man. Well, extra auto action in our first box here, that'll play just fine, just fine. Adley Rookie, Senga, and Alex Bregman. Get that into a Magforia St. Louis. J-Rod Refractor, Forto, and Moreno. Same with this, you can just do like golds and under, recap, that's fine. Headliners Yellich, Corbin Carroll, and Francisco Alvarez. Yeah, very nice one there for the Cardinals. Take that all day long for sure. Purple, Juan Soto, 250, Contreras, and Peranza. There's Corbin Carroll Rookie, Wander, and Gunner Rookie. Jordan Walker Refractor. Yeah, Icing would be a treasure chest for sure. That'd be insane, dude, love to see it. Volpe, Late Blue Gunner to 300, nice one for the Orioles. Votto and Seah, Max Mayer Refractor Rookie, and Moren Bass. Good? Good, but it won't do. Good to know, looking at. You made it here?    Something that, that's not something you say to try to win your business. What'd he go?  In the subject line. In the subject line. Wow. Mookie bats, I'm not happy about that. Not happy about that. I just kind of, I will, I will right now. How to get somebody's business. Green Oscar Coloss, the 99. Not happy about that. Not happy about that at all. It really is how to get somebody's business one on one hurt. In pixels. They even spelled the name pixels, right? What are we doing? What are, what's the end goal here? All right, keep it moving. Refractor, Peter Lanzo, Josh Young-Rookie. That's probably one of those sleazy cars over the time, yeah. Yeah, honestly, though. Logan O'Hoppy, Orange Wave Auto, Max Castillo, going to the Royals. Nice one there, congrats, KC. Max Castillo, 225. I know I hate it, Derek Jeter. I was hoping they were not gonna agree to a deal. I'm a Ravens fan, Chris, so don't like burrow very much. Trade turn, respect them, respect the hell out of them. Think he's, you know, probably outside of my homes. You can make a case, he's the next best quarterback in the NFL, but I don't like, nope. Anything bangles, do not like. Lutile Vapor, Wander to 250. There's the 175, Corey Seager. Homes is over, okay. That's a little bit of a hot take. DL Hall. Corbin Carroll, 65 of 99, what a first two boxes. Wow. Let's go, man, congrats on that. Bobby Witt. I think Herbert is overrated. I agree with that. Headliners, Randy Johnson. Super hot take, y'all chill. Blue to 150 is Cade Cavalli. Spencer Stier. I also think, what's up, Mark? I also think that Herbert has not had very good coaching. I think that Staley is a horrible coach, you know, shown by last year. So I think that plays into it a little bit, but he does not win. Like everyone was like, like, ooh, the defense, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, like when they blew that, what, 20-something point lead or 30-something point lead in the playoffs.  It's majority is the defense's fault. Headliners, but you also can't come out and only score three points in the half, you know what I mean? Like the offense has to do something. There's Sitaro Fujinabi to 199, play Matt Nagy. It's Luis Robert, JJ Bladet for the Marlins, nice one there. Refractor Rookie Otto, a little bit of a scratch, send an empty box and wrapper with the Marlins. Empty box and wrapper coming to Marlins. Well, it's fine, it's Shohei, Kodai saying it. No, I agree with that, Zach. I agree with that. Aronato, Katal Marte, Refractor Kinsukuroi of Preppy. I got in late yesterday, got in late. Now I think the biggest blame from yesterday has to be the Chiefs receivers, man. Especially on that last drive, dude, like Tony dropped a wide open pass. Skymore, you can make a case should have held on to that pass. Pitilanzo, then Tony dropped another pass on fourth down. Say Green Lava, Tatis to 99. No, no, they could not catch anything. JJ Bladet, Blue, Matthew Libertor, two, one, 50. That's a cold move, isn't it? I know, dude. Like I think that goes to show how good Travis Kelsey is. Like if you had any thought in your mind that Travis Kelsey was not the best tight end in the NFL right now, I think last night that shows that you are not right. Jordan Walker, as Waldo Cabrera to 300, unless you think Mark Andrews is the best tight end, then you're right. Adley Rushman, Logan O'Hopper, refractor of Scherzer. Then I will agree with you. Again, just the Warriors available in Spectral. It's got them sold out, guys. Just the Warriors, it's the same with a hot take. Jet sweeps to nowhere had Matt Nagy written all over it. I got obliterated like a couple of weeks ago when I was breaking and I made the claim that it takes in cold hands, just for the angels in that one break. There's Bryce Harper, Corbin Carroll Rookie. I said that Andrews was the second best tight end in the NFL.  I'm like, yeah, like, okay, fine. I think they play the position differently. Hunter Brown, there's Michael Harris, refractor Rookie. Otto, nice one there for the Braves. Grats, that's a good case so far. That was good. Purple, Carlos Correa to 250. Like, I mean, Kelsey's on like another level. Kelsey's in his own tier. It's like Travis Kelsey and then it's like who, well, who's second best? Adrian Beltrae. Like when you talk about the tight end position, you go, oh yeah, Travis Kelsey and then everybody else. Volpe, Miguel Vargas refractor, and Josh Young. But as a Ravens fan, somebody watches Mark Andrews more than anybody every week, obviously. What was I gonna say? Like if you came up to me, if you put me in charge of the Ravens and said we'll trade you George Kittle for Mark Andrews straight up, I would keep Andrews personally. Personally, personally. Obviously I think there's all the Niners fans would think the opposite. They would rather have Kittle over Andrews. O'Neill Crutes. World's Fine is Juan Soto. Nice, going to the Padres. Congrats, San Diego. Slam Diego. The Bionder's Ripken. It is pouring out. Good Lord. There's two 300 Tatsis. That is a Ken Walder truck to 199. Independent third party to take Andrews. Interesting. Rep 80. I honestly think the majority would go toward Kittle on that, and I really do. I don't think it's super like far, but I think the majority, if you ask people who would you rather have, I think it'd be like 70, 30. Kittle in 70% Kittle, 30% Andrews. Personally, obviously I'm going to take Andrews as a Ravens fan. That's whatever. I don't care. Headliners, Otsani, Gunnar. That is a Gunnar Henderson to 250. Gabriel Moreno refractor rookie auto for the D-backs. Nice one Arizona. Scratch on that, empty box and wrapper coming to Arizona. Yes, no. Kittle is one of the best pass blocking tight ends in the NFL. Ziciel Duranford, especially for somebody who's not like Friday breaks hybrid break football podcast. Orange Francisco Alvarez going to the Mets to 25. Nathan Y with an IMAX spot. We're down to one, one to go in IMAX everybody. You have Andrews in two leagues, Lamar in with him in one. Yeah, I think that's fair to be honest, Kyle. Headliners Acunia, Vado and Seah.  Luis Castillo. Is that another moments auto? We have another moments auto in 75 of Dale Murphy for the Braves. Nice, congrats Atlanta. Cause even like some of the base autos were good. We had like a base auto Harris. It's been like good stuff outside of that too. Lava, Tom Arte to 100. I'm gonna say all we need is just what Adley and Volpe. Adley Volpe and Gunnar. There's speaking of Volpe refractor rookie. Headliners Tatis and base. Green, Minidiamonds Nolan Gorman to 125 for the Cardinals. Fractor of Vaughn Grissom and more base. Yeah, it's been a good case so far for sure. Headliners Winfield for the Inks.

Yeah, it's your food drive It is for the last three years It's it's also it started as the kickoff of the United Way's annual community campaign and in days gone by we have had people come to Monument Square and done big rallies, but Three years ago we decided and we heard from people who are involved in the campaign that that simply marching and rallying Really didn't feel like they were starting to give back to the community. And so we decided to host a food drive Because hunger is such a big issue right now In our region and in our state and so we on September 11th We'll be having our can hunger food drive in three locations to invite the community to be part of Helping solve some of the most complex problems in front of us these days And the locations are Freeport Portland and Westbrook. Yes, and where in those towns or cities can can people leave Can goods or food and actually where we can talk about we are suggesting that folks review a list of healthy food choices to bring and They're invited to come in Freeport on Main Street at the to drop off in front of the big LL bean boot We'll be collecting food there. You can't miss that fill the boot fill the boot and Here in Portland will be at one canal Plaza right on the corner people can actually just drive up if they want We have wonderful take your food valet service So if you just want to drive by or walk by and then in Westbrook, we're going to be at the Bank of America branch location which is On Main Street 849 Main Street, and we're thrilled that Bank of America has invited us to be there The chair of our community campaign this year is Bill Williamson who is the president of Bank of America in Maine and so We're gonna we're gonna see if we can do some challenges with the banks as well to see who can bring in the most food Oh, that'll be fun, and I know they'll enjoy it. I think when it comes to hunger and food Everybody across the board understands that I know it's um, I think we see in the news and You and I have had some experience with I think that the population that is most heartbreaking is for kids And and we're seeing more and more in the work that we're doing in education is that kids are showing up at school Not really prepared to learn and and and really Put what they need to into the school day because they're coming hungry a third of the students in Cumberland County live in families that qualify for free and reduced lunch lunches and So when they're in school, they're getting food hopefully but When they go home in the evenings their parents are having to make hard choices and I met just a couple weeks ago with some of the leaders of Good Shepherd and Pueblo Street Resource Center who are leaders in and fighting hunger and In this economy it continues to be really really hard to serve all the people who are needing help right now And and it's hard because sometimes that sense of pride is It's big and and people don't want to let their neighbors know that they're in need and that they need food and It must be awful for a parent to have to send their child off without having eaten anything in the morning That's why I think it's some of the some of the work that we're trying to do to address hunger with our partners And they certainly are leading the way around advocacy is Breaking down some of the stigmas around hunger making it easy for schools to make it easy for families to Get their kids breakfast if they need it or lunch and that there's not a stigma attached with that There's also some really creative work being done to feed kids in the summer Summer food programs good shepherds doing some wonderful work Westbrook community. So again kids who have been getting food in the school year All of a sudden summer comes around and that's a really scary time because they can't count on that So that's that's a way. This is a way for the community to support Making sure that you know those kids get what they need even in the summertime And you made a good point earlier. We don't have very much time, but To choose healthy food when you bring the donations. Yes, is there a list on your web page? There is right on our web page, which is United Way GP org There's a wish list and so we're suggesting the kinds of food that people can bring people can bring anything that they have But certainly if we're trying to promote health and nutrition with families, these are probably some of the best choices We can offer right I think that's wonderful. Are you working as well? And I know this is a little extra with the farmers and farmers markets absolutely one of the the biggest Issues and opportunities is trying to get local produce to food pantries as well And so there's some good work to being done and there's more that can be done and there's need in every single community In the state without question if people don't realize that they need to get a quarter of manors Are going hungry on a daily basis to find out more they can go to United Way GP for greater Portland org And there should be an icon that says can hunger you can click on that and get all the information you need and all day In those three locations starting at 7 a.m. Until about 2 in the afternoon. All right Well, I'm gonna gather some food together. I'll be there. Thank you for being here my pleasure


Well, the Bemidji Contra Dance Series is back for a second season. Reporter Cheryl Moore tells us about the dance style for this week's In Focus. It's time to grab a partner and throw on your dancing shoes. The Bemidji Contra Dance Series is back for a second session. Thanks in part to the Region 2 Art Council. We have our advisory group and I wrote a grant for Region 2 Art Council, and they just funded our third grant to start up next week. So we're very grateful to Region 2 Art Council, and also we are grateful to Headwaters School of Music and Arts for being our fiscal sponsor. Contra Dancing is a lively, traditional social dance that originated in New England. It is now done all over the United States. These are just dances.  The people that have already been there before know how to do it. We start with, you know, stuff. We just, I just call to whatever the crowd is up for. There's no experience required for Contra Dancing. All you have to do is be willing to get on the dance floor. If you can walk in time to the music, then you can Contra Dance, everything else we teach. If you have a partner you'd like to dance with, wonderful. If you don't have anybody that you want to come with, fine. If you have someone you come with and want to keep trading out partners, I actually recommend that because then you can dance with someone who's done it before. All ages are welcome at the sessions, so it's a great activity for the entire family. We love being with community, with meeting new people. It's being something that it's an activity and that we're not just talking, we're talking and sharing, but we're also moving and the music is just wonderful. The second series of the Contra Dance sessions will run through May. The next two dates right here at Rail River, Saturday nights at seven, the next one is November 17th. The one after that is December 8th. And then if you look up, if you search for Bemidji Contra Dance on Facebook, you'll see all the information.
