Very recently on this channel to celebrate the announcement of Dragon Ball Z, Budokai Tenkai G4, me and my two friends Rhyme Style and CiriX went back to BT3 and modded the game to make Broly five times stronger than he ever was in the original release. And after seeing what Broly was able to do to us 1v3, I knew that we had to give the same treatment to the actual strongest character in the original game, Super Saiyan 4 Gojita. And thanks to all of the mods and Batara modifiers that we've given him, it is a very safe estimate to say that the Super Saiyan 4 Gojita you're about to see in this video is 10 times stronger than the one in the original game. If you want to see even more Budokai Tenkai G3 characters get this raid boss treatment, make sure to the like button and subscribe to the channel because I'm pretty sure this video is going to be very embarrassing for us. But to start things off, Budokai Tenkai G3's greatest enemy, we don't want to face him right away. So we're just going to take on Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Vegeta as the GT villains. See if we can't make a dent in them maybe before they fuse. Am I at first? Yes, you are first. Oh, look at my immaculate jawline. Look at this outfit. Oh, my control. Well, click it. Get the eyebrows of a caven. Oh, look at that counter. The awesome guys are nothing. When they're not fused, we can take out Goku and Vegeta. Yeah, so we're going to win for sure for sure, right? Against these two, absolutely. Against the next guy, what if they fuse before we actually get to go Gita? That would be terrible. It's not going to happen. I don't know why you said that. I don't know why you said absolutely like this man's not about to rock. Oh my God.  No, it's fine. There's a reason we're playing on not. Is he going to don't even try to clash with me? I thought so. Why did he just dodge it casually?  You have no key. I know I don't have any key. This sucks, but at least I can go for it. You have key, bro. But you just wasted it on that wasteful attack. Wasteful. It wasn't that wasteful. I recycle. I think actually everybody. Dragon face. Oh, you got it. You got it. You got it. You got it. You got it. And I was not able to charge in the old Buddha God games.  Bro thought he was somebody else. I know because it's the opposite in the show. It's like they have infinite key. It's not. It's not them not being able to charge up infinite key. That doesn't do anything. Hey, who got next? Who got next? I got you. Why don't you stand up to me? I just don't understand. Brutal. Yeah. Yeah. Do you know how much this has to hurt? I would actually run. Well, first of all, I'd be dead. No, I would cry. I would cry. Then they'd be working overtime over there. I don't even know how he's still watching. I just don't understand why he doesn't think. Okay. Watch this. Why are you dashing? Oh, are you good? Don't get dragon face. That's a block. That's a block. Easy. That's only one. Oh, yeah. Dragon ball. Dragon ball. Let's go. Oh, wow. All right. That's it. He thinks I look like sin Shenron. I am literally Omega Shenron. How he dodge that?  Oh my God. He is not letting you rest in peace. No, he's going to rest in peace here in a second. Well, how about 10 times? Okay. All right. All right. I'm good though. He came from one beam attack. I'm good. I'm good. Honestly, I'm not worried to try to drag it first again. Where'd he go? Perfect. Now, now, now. Yeah. You're going to have to try a little bit. Oh, I think he's doing this. He's doing this. I think he's doing something. He's doing something. He's doing something. Yeah, you would. What if he's not going to get stupid? Oh, I thought he had you. I'm not going to lie. I thought he was good. Oh, all right. I've done my work. I'm going to look at the camera and I'm going to get out of here. Why is Omega Shenron? Don't like that. He's built awkward. Ah, what's wrong with that? He ain't go Jida. He ain't go Jida. Okay. But he's still go. Oh, I'm going to get this. Run. Get down. I got that failure.  Look at this animation.  That motherfucker just went through. Why am I going to ask you about Goku and the dragon? He's going to kill him. He's going to grab. He's different. Stop. Stop. Leave me alone. Oh, God. That is so cool. Being a barrage.  Bro, fight back and be stronger than that. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Why do you have super armor? Bro, he got super armor against you. You got to transform. Bro, you can't even beat him. No, no, no, no. Baby actually lacks the strike to beat him. There you go. There you go. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. Now you maybe stay. Bro, get your. Bro transformed and got out of there. Bro, I didn't feel level. Hold on. Don't use the super because you can charge up to full right now. I absolutely know. So hang in there. Bro told me to hang in there. I'm going to hang in there, brother. It'll shock you how much it does.  Okay. Shocking deathball does 8k, but he does 1b. Bro, what do you mean?  It's 8k plus 10. There we go. Easy, easy. There you go. I'm different. Respect. You can't charge up, bro. You're just going to have to strap. Listen, listen, listen, listen. I forget things too.  I'm on the ground. How can we drop that against y'all but not me? Hey, you better go find Vegeta. Hey, just remember.  You're going to beat you in five seconds, bro. Yeah. One, two, three, four. Yeah. That's five, buddy. Looks like you're not as tough as you think. Boom. Kick him to the moon. Help. Help. Help. What do you want us to do? Nah, I ain't dying first. Baby. Baby. Baby. Do the android barrier wave. Fuck. The android barrier wave. He's got key sickness. He's got key sickness. He's got key sickness. Finger barrage. Again, bro. There you go. Your best move. Blitz barrage. What? You're still okay. There you go. There you go. I'll play it. I'll play it. You want to kick it up to the next level and ditch the brawl? There you go. Okay. There you go. Get rid of him, man. Bro is just... How is this information going to affect Vegeta's legacy?  Get back up off of me, bro. Why me? Because I need help. I need help. He can't be stopped anymore. There we go. I'm him. We're coupling. I'm trying to read it. This is the easiest boss rate of all time. Yeah. Well, that combos. It didn't combo. I didn't combo. That would have been sick, though. It would have been cool. Wouldn't it have been sick? Why is he charging key so fast? Can we talk about that? Bro doesn't even know how to find me. I'm over here. All right, you found me. I think he knows. I think he found you. That's a block. That's easy. That's the easiest thing. Stupid. There you go. There you go. You can't stop him. Finish the job. Finish the job. Finish the job. He's going to beat you in five seconds. I mean, it was an impressive five-second combo, but he didn't beat you. Sorry, but I'm canonically stronger than you. He's winning every class. He's winning every one of them. He's up four. He's up five. He won every single one of them. Oh, man. Yeah, yeah. Nice try. That's it. I'm actually sticking to the five seconds.    Yes. Yes. He literally absorbed that. Well, at least he didn't beat you in five seconds. He took your minus energy ball. That's a positive energy ball. There you go. Out to the very limit. Bro, spam me. He can't beat your guard. He can't beat your guard. Finish. Finish. Finish. Do I have anything that can get me out of this? Finish. It's too late, though. You didn't finish. Too late, though. All right. No more. No more. We will take out both Goku and Vegeta. Just get us off Goku. Just get us off Goku. We got it. We see Super Saiyan 4 of Vegeta. What do you mean, Wii? It's just you left. It's a thing of barrage. Splast. You need more energy. Bro is just mocking you. No media crabs.  Hold on. I'm a survivor. You lived these. You lived these. So we didn't even get past Goku.  Oh, wait. What's happening? No, they're getting into the fusion dance. Get up, fellas.  It's too late. Hold on. This is not canonical. Why did Vegeta fuse? Did he even get a chance to fight you? Bro, it's the thing is he doesn't even care. He just wanted to do the dance. I think we might have gotten up. We powered up a little bit. But hold on. What was that cool intro? Oh, my God. It's the face of BT3. Can we beat him? I believe in us. I believe in us. Why is he maxed out? Why is he maxed out? He's getting that power. Why is he maxed out? How do you get the nice power? 93 hits? You get that. Oh, oh, oh. My brother in Christ. He dodged everything. What's happening?  No, we... Oh, he puns for no... Damn. Damn. Why are you just two-peacing you? Bro, fight back. He's not even using his arms up most of these. Ultimate impact. How ultimate could it be?  Help! Help! Help me! Help me! 10K for that? Help me! Bro, he's beating you right now. Yeah, you are dead. Why are you running? Let me show you how it's done. Let me show you how it's done.  Oh, no. I don't... I don't... I don't know how... No, no, no. You got it. You got it. You got it. You got it. I'm about to. I'm about to. Let's go. That's a first hit. I got some licks. Watch this. Okay, is that Max Power? What do you do for this? Why is he putting up so fast? This wasn't a good idea. No, you're next to one. This is a good fight. Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, no!   He's canonicaling me. Bro, he's hitting me with the canonical. Okay, 10K. I didn't do that with damage. You're fine. You're fine. Bro, it did two bars. What do you mean it didn't do a lot of damage? I want to run away.  Bro, he's not even using his arms. God, he doesn't even use his arms. Ultimate impact like that. Oh, no. Oh, that would have been so bad. You still have your set. You hit him again. Let's go. There you go. There you go. There you go. There you go. You got it. Just keep dodging. There you go. There you go. Dodges everything. You're good. You're good. You're good. I actually don't think. You're doing great. You're doing great.  Flash bomber. I got it. What? I got a clean look. Who's you? But somebody's out of the controller. Fellas, who's something? Bro. Is it Dale? No one, bro. No, I'm not even cutting it. Now I can move.  What do you mean now you can move? It was you the whole time. That wasn't me. I got to run. I got to run. Let me run. No. No, you're the hero. Tag out frame one. What's he even hit me with? Damn. I want to go back and go over to you. Yeah. I got to keep life. I transformed. Yeah. No, you cannot. No. Surely he's going to give you enough time to transform. Yeah. You're right there. You're right there. You got plenty of time. You got plenty of time. You might want to transform. You're going to transform. You have plenty of time, but you're going to want to transform. Oh, I'm dead. I'm so dead. No, that's the drop. That's the drop. There you go. There you go.  There you go. Big damage. What? Okay. You got him. Oh. Why does he want to win Ultimate Impact so bad?  Why? Who did you run out to? Me. What do you mean? What do you mean? There's no one else. What else? I forgot. I forgot. Oh, did you see me banish that? Who else thought I looked really cool there?  Did you see the way he sent me flying? Were you going 100 times? Yes, he is. Bro. Bro. Oh, my nose. Bro. I feel like the worst part of that is the elbows of the nose. Bro, please. The big last like, yeah. It's going to hurt, but... That didn't do that much. You're fine. What do you mean? It took...  I can't hit him. I can't hit him. Please. Damn. Perfect frame trap. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. All right. I've rested enough. I've rested enough. Watch this. Watch this. Heather, give me epic editing music. Every sailor knows what this sword is.  No, no, no. You can hear the music. We're ever going to hear it in our lives. They almost knocked you out with that. Just don't go outside. Don't go outside. Let's go. There you go. He's going outside. Here you go. Hit him with something big. Hit him with something big. Nice. Deflect that. Get that out of there. Oh. Now, he wouldn't beat us twice in a row, though. That's a fact. That's a fact, bro. Especially the way I went out. Ready up. Gojina thinks he's so nice. He thinks he's so different from us that he's invincible or that we can't kill. It is actually crazy how much better this Gojina is compared to the other. I shot backwards. Bro is actually built different in this game. That's because this is Budokai Tinkaiji 3, the modded version. And they put some respect on Super Saiyan 4. Hold on. Hold on. Watch. Watch. Watch. Watch. Watch. Watch. Watch. Watch. Watch. Watch.

Hi folks and I do hope you're well. Now this is just a really quick video to say thank you so much for your support and helping me reach my 1000 subscribers last week. It came around so quickly in a little less than six months, which is quicker than I thought it would.  It's awesome and I thank you so much, especially the loyal few who come back week after week and give me heaps of encouragement to keep making more videos. Thank you so much for that guys and girls. Now I know some of you are hanging out for a video which is my Ample Sound Super Jumbo announcement and I can tell you that's coming very soon. We're in the end game for that. I'm currently making another video which will be coming out next Tuesday about, I can't give that away quite yet, and also tomorrow I will have a live stream with Pete Johns on his channel, where we will be debating whether you should master your own songs or not. So I'll put a link in the description for that, so that you can go and watch that tomorrow. But again, thank you so much for all of your help and support. It means an awful lot to me and I will be on my way making more content for you guys. So thank you very much and I will see you in the next video. Bye.


Hey, pushing carts is, no, I'm just like everyone that does that because I think it's a selfless, selfless act or like selfless job because like everyone doesn't say thank you sometimes so like, you know, and you just gotta make sure the whole, the whole area is neat and clean and just all the carts are back together and stuff so it's cool. Did you call her after the game or have y'all celebrate your first time playing games? Yeah, no, it was good. No, I was calling after her games and stuff so, you know, she was just excited for me as of all the games so, you know, just excited for her boy and then the phone and all that so just trying to make her and my family proud and stuff so. Speaking of thank you to the whole line, these guys, these guys get after each other. Oh yeah, no. No, all my sisters are the big boys over there, man. No, I think, because they don't get that much credit and stuff but I think they deserve, they deserve all the credit especially for me and C.C. just pounding the rock and then D.C. Remember here would keep you action, you know, play-by-play guy always calling it a lineman and big uglies. Big uglies. That's a compliment. Oh, no heck yeah. What challenges does this Ravens defensive club bring you? You know, they're a big, big-style defensive line. I think their linebacking core is like one of the best we'll play against so. No, we're just excited for the challenge, excited for the opportunity to strap it up again so you know, just excited for Saturday. Besides the line obviously helping you, what's the key for you to keep the momentum going and maybe getting another personal best in the run game? Yeah, sure. I think just taking care of the details and all the small things, just all around, all around between running backs, quarterbacks, online and never series as well so I think just having a detail oriented game should be fun. Have you ever played on Christmas Street before and what do you think it's going to be like playing on Christmas Street? No, I've never played on Christmas Street so it should be fun. It should be fun, you know, excited, you know, if you don't really get holidays is what I tend to learn in the NFL so it should be good, it should be good, I'm excited. I was talking to Drake, he shared with me that there's a secret Santa going on between the position groups. Do you guys have a secret Santa going on with the running backs? We do. What's the limit or the max? For us it's a 500 minimum so I guess it's alright. It's expensive and my voice is coming from just coming into this but now we're excited. Excited to see what everyone gets each other. You've got to be able to make sure you get CDs because that seems like that would be the unfortunate one. No, I can't tell you. Let's see what happens.  Oh, that's true. I didn't even think about it like that so that should be good. What type of gift giver are you?  No, I would say a gift giver, just throughout the meetings and stuff, just learning with everyone so I kind of have an idea of what everyone likes. Hopefully, we'll see when the gift... What's the exchange happening? Thursday or Friday, one of those, so should be interesting.

For friendly entertaining, for delightful dining. Yes, right now, a glass full would be very pleasant, as Roma wines bring you Joan Bennett in a remarkable tale of... Suspense! Are you feeling any better now? You know what I've been wondering, lying here. What's that, Mrs. Allen? Are you really a nurse? Why, of course. That stuff you keep giving me to make me sleep, it doesn't. You'd be asleep in no time, Mrs. Allen, if you'd only make up your mind to it. It's all in your mind, you know. That's funny. You saying that to me. Now then, Mrs. Allen, you mustn't keep talking. That's how it was with him. All in his mind. That's why I couldn't help him. That's why nobody in the world could help him. I know that now, but I couldn't bring myself to admit it until last night. You know where I was last night? I was at the Hollywood Bowl. It should have been the proudest night of my life. I was waiting for my husband to enter the stage and take his place as the leader of a great orchestra. Yes, I should have felt proud, but all I could feel was fear. It wasn't a new fear. It was an old fear. As old as our lives together. It began nearly two years ago. Ara and I had driven to the Pasadena Station to meet a new pupil of his in from the east. I didn't have any reason to believe that this new arrival would be any different from the dozens of others who come every year to live with us and study music with my husband. Ara, I don't see him anywhere. Don't you know what he looks like? Huh? What's that, my dear? Oh, never mind. There, that looks like it might be him over there. Excuse me. Are you looking for Professor Whitmer? Oh, Professor Whitmer. I'm Mark Allen. You'll have to talk to my wife. I can't hear you just now. Glad to know you, Mr. Whitmer. How do you do? You know those streamlined hearing devices. You see, advertising the papers all the time, Mr. Allen.  Well, that's something Beethoven would have liked to have been able to say, Professor. Yes. But you know, Mr. Allen, I think he'd rather have put up with being plain deaf. Excuse me, sir, but what about your bank? Your car with Mr. Allen. Right. Just taking the car. Would you look after Mr. Allen's bag, my dear? I just did. It's the one right here. Just put the bags in the bag. Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am. Here you are. Oh, thank you. I guess we can all ride in the front, can't we? That's for you, Mrs. Whitmer. See, Mr. Allen, my wife takes care of everything. That's what poor old Beethoven needed. Good, dependable wife. Is this your first visit to California, Mr. Allen? That's right. Never been further west than Chicago before in my life. Well, you'll find the climate a nice change anyway. What about you, Mrs. Whitmer? You, uh, native of California? Not exactly, but the professor and I have lived here ever since we were married. It's a great tragedy. A great conductor losing his hearing like that. It doesn't worry him so much. Now that he has his own protégés. Must be hard on you, though, sometimes. Why should it be hard on me? Oh, I just thought it might be. That's all. By the way, what's your first name, Mrs. Whitmer? Why, uh, Franzi.  Sometimes? Well, of course not. You can call me anything you like, Mr. Allen. Ira, there's the bell. Huh? What's that, my dear? There's a train coming. Oh, yes. Thank you, my dear. I hope I didn't give you a scare, Mr. Allen. I really shouldn't be driving without that fool device. My dear, would you like to drive? You drive. We're almost home now, anyway. Is this where we live? Uh-huh. This is Brooksville. Nice little town we live in. I certainly hope you'll enjoy it, Mr. Allen. I'm sure I will, Franzi. That's all there was to it. And yet if he'd asked me to go away with him to Timbuktu that night, I'd have gone. But he didn't. He didn't ask me anything. He just watched me. Not like the musical genius he was supposed to be. He was rough and hard and strong. A kid from the wrong side of the tracks. A kid like me. And I was watching him. I was watching him all the time until one morning. Ira had gone into L.A. for the day. I was in the kitchen washing up the breakfast dishes. And he was supposed to be up in his room composing. But he wasn't composing any more than I was washing dishes. He was waiting for me to go up to him. He didn't have to wait long. I was looking for my husband. He, uh, went to the concert at the Philharmonic. He did? Oh, I wanted him to do an errand for me. Well, that's too bad. Oh, well, it'll have to wait until next week now, I suppose. He, uh, might remember and call you. He might? That's nice. What's it called? It's an overture. Overture and two keys. Oh. You asked me that before. At breakfast. Remember? No, yes. So I did. I'd forgotten. But look at me. Why, the professor would kill me if he caught me wasting your time like this. Maybe that's one reason you waited until he was out of the way. Well... Want to hear the other reason? It's been on your mind ever since that first day at the station. Only a figure you'd wait. Let me make the first move. It's the way a dame always figures. Until she meets the right guy. Meaning you? I don't mean Santa Claus. Me. Come here, darling. You like to play hard to get, don't you? Am I so hard to get? I've been going crazy. What do you think I've been doing? When does he get back? Late. How late? Never before six. Hello, darling. Six o'clock came too soon that night. It always came too soon. I think I'd read at that clock more than I'd read at Ira. We couldn't cheat on the clock. But with Ira, well, taking care of Ira wasn't a problem for any Einstein. But Mark was the one who had to do it. Mark had to fix it so that earphones or no earphones, Ira would be deaf, as deaf as an actor. Sometimes I couldn't understand why Mark got so upset over that part of it. He used to tell me that I never would understand. I wasn't a musician and I wasn't deaf. Well anyway, I had plenty of other things to feel bad about. We both did. We were like two shipwrecks sailors dying of thirst and all we got to drink was salt water. You can stand that kind of thirst just so long. Hello yourself. Keep on playing. He just called off his LA appointment. What's up? Well, he thinks he's in for the flu or something. Anyway, he's staying home all day. Lock the door, baby. Keep the germs out. Mark. Yeah? He was talking about you. He said you decided to cut the course. I've taken in all about it. About all he can teach me. Besides, the doze went in short. You're lying. But I'm glad you're lying. Mark, take me with you. We can go way together. Where? New York, Chicago. It doesn't matter. You can follow us. You know that. The kind of guy who would track us down at the end of the earth. I wouldn't mind. I would. I'd mind plenty. You mean your career as the great conductor. That makes me a heel, doesn't it? That makes you like the rest of him. That's all Ira thinks about his career. He cares about as much for me as... Okay, okay. As far as the law is concerned, you're Professor Whitmer's wife. And there isn't anything we can do about it. Isn't there, Mark? Nothing that makes sense. Mark? Does it make any sense to you? I've thought about it. You wanted to hear me say it, though. Didn't you? Don't look at me like that. Then you'd be sure I was crazy about you. Mark? Come here. We only didn't feel this way every time. But we do. Ira! I must apologize for lowering myself to the role of a knavesdropper. Ira, please. Then it's also regrettable that you, Mr. Allen, should presume that my affliction would affect my powers of observation. For that matter, my tolerance. You'll kindly make arrangements to leave my house. I guess that's about the way it is, Professor. I've already taken the liberty, or should I say, the precaution of reserving a ticket to New York. We have 40 minutes to get to the Pasadena station. I must talk to you. Undoubtedly, my dear. Mr. Allen is going to catch his train. I must go get the car. You might help Mr. Allen with his packing. What time do you have? Five to eleven. Yeah. We can just make it. Mark, you're not really going. Mark! Go in my music case. Now it's right there on the piano. What about the rest of your junk, or are you leaving that behind a souvenir? It's only until I can send you a forwarding address. At least you can tell me where you're going. You heard him? New York. There's the car now. Mark! Yeah? Mark, let me know if you should change your mind. I won't have to let you know, Franzi. I haven't changed my mind. After he left, I remember looking at the alarm clock beside his bed. It said eleven o'clock. Then I thought about what I'd be doing tomorrow at eleven o'clock, and the day after that, and the next week, and the next year. Eleven o'clock for all the rest of my life would be the time he walked out of that door. I wanted to cry, but I couldn't. I just sat there listening to the clock. I must have sat there without moving for hours. Then I heard the bell. My first thought was it was either. Automatically, I got up and walked downstairs to answer it. Good day, ma'am. You, Mrs. Whitmer? That's right. Lieutenant Scott, please hit quarters. Now, you know this gentleman here? Oh, yes. You must get ready for some bad news, Mrs. Whitmer. My husband? Yes, ma'am. There's been an accident. Lieutenant, I'm an old friend of the family. Maybe you better let me tell him. You'll have to give me some address then, Mr. Allen. Call me here. Pasadena 1213. It's only a matter of the next few days, you understand? I'll stay in town as long as you need me. Pasadena 1213. All right, Mr. Allen. Good day, Mrs. Whitmer. Goodbye. Goodbye, Lieutenant. Mark. Oh, Mark, I thought I was never going to see you again. Didn't you? I think I want to sit down a minute. Mark, tell me. What happened quickly? It was pretty terrible. I told him a couple of times to take it easy. He must have done 70 when we hit the main dragon. Maybe that's why I didn't recognize where we were. Anyway, I wouldn't have known we were that close to the crossing until I heard the bell. He still had time. If he'd thrown on his brakes when I hollered at him, it would have been all the time in the world. Maybe he thought he could make it, or maybe he just didn't hear me. I don't know. I just don't know. It was too late to grab the wheel. Too late to do anything. That was when I jumped. Mark. The next thing I knew, there were cops all over the place. It was a dock there, too. I'd been here hours ago if I hadn't had to convince them, but I didn't need any ambulance. And Ira? And those cops, they asked more questions than... Mark. I asked you about Ira. Ira didn't need any ambulance either, frenzy. He was dead. For Suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you Joan Bennett in Overture in Two Keys.

And now Roma Wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage Joan Bennett as Franzy Whitmer with Howard Duff as Mark Allen in overture and two keys, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. They held the inquest at the house, took the car in less than three minutes, turned the verdict, accidental death. I thought we should wait, but Mark said it wouldn't make any difference if people were going to talk, they'd talk anyway. So a couple of weeks later we drove down to Roma and got married. During the ceremony I felt a little like laughing, much more like crying. And let me tell you, if you ever get married in one of those humor wedding chapels, you both feel like crying too. They do business day and night. On the outside there are neon light, and on the inside everything is artificial lilies in an organ. And do you, Franzy Whitmer, take this man as your lawfully wedded husband to happen to hold for this day forward? I do. Mark Allen, take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife. I do, I do. I repeat, do you Mark Allen take this woman? Yes. You're having to hold from this day forward until death do you part? Poor Mark.  Well I guess every man thinks that those words are written just to make him nervous and every woman thinks they are written just for her. At least I know I did. At first we were as happy as any two people could possibly be and then it wasn't that anything changed but I began to worry about Mark. It was as though he were expecting something. Sometimes when he thought I wasn't watching him it almost seemed as though he were listening to something. A couple of nights ago we had the party. It was kind of a send off for Mark's debut at the Bowl and it was a very Tony affair. All along.  It was stage fright. Oh I could have slaughtered that tenor. If you'll excuse me Madam Tetra I think my wife wants me. Oh there darling. Can't we get rid of these people? Eventually I suppose. Here comes Donnelly. Maybe he'll know how to cut it short. Well it looks like a good party. You see Mrs. Allen you get an important manager and all the important artists visit your home. Now can you get them all out of my home?  What about playing something to sort of wind up the evening? How about the overture? I know it won't sound on the piano but after all it is effect... Now where is he going? You asked him to wind up the evening didn't you? How can I make an announcement if he doesn't tell me what he's going to play? Of course it wasn't anything important. Phone calls that come at a moment like that never are. It was just someone who wanted to wish Mark good luck tomorrow night. I said thanks and hung up. It wasn't until I was half way back up the stairs that I knew something had gone wrong. It's wrong to me. What happened? There's nothing to be alarmed over Mrs. Allen. Where's my husband? He's upstairs resting. What's the matter with him? There's nothing at all my dear. Really nothing at all. He was a little over tired so he went upstairs. If you ask me Mrs. Allen it's a plain case of stage fright. Well I was telling him only this evening. I didn't wait for the rest. When I found him he was just lying there staring into the darkness. I wanted to hold him in my arms and tell him that no matter what he was my guy but I didn't. I didn't say a word and neither did he. It seemed like a long while later when I woke up. I didn't want to wake up. I was tired, dead tired, so tired that waking up hurt me all over. Only this time it hurt more than usual. Then suddenly I was sitting up right in bed with a chill running straight up my spine. The sound came from the music room. I fumbled for the light but that didn't tell me anything I didn't know already. Mark's bed was empty. Somehow I got out of bed and walked downstairs. I kept walking till I was standing outside the music room door. If I'd been standing at the bar of judgement I would have still said the same prayer. That the door would be locked but it wasn't locked. The room was in darkness except for the small lamp on the bed. And there looking like something out of a horror picture sat my husband down. I couldn't see his face, only his hands flying up and down on the lamp light. His knuckles were wet with blood. Mark! Mark! Mark! Darling, darling I had to do it. I had to do something. Talk to me. Keep on talking to me. What do you want me to say? Just keep talking and hold my hand.  Mark, tell me what's wrong. I don't understand. Everything was fine until I left the room to answer the phone. Was it a phone, Belle? I didn't hear any phone. Mark. I wouldn't have even known you'd come upstairs if it hadn't been for your perfume. Even then I didn't believe it. Then I came down here. I played like this. I couldn't hear. And I played louder. I still couldn't hear. I couldn't hear! I couldn't hear! Darling, don't, don't. You're all right now. Mark, it's awfully late. What time is it? Four o'clock in the morning. That's funny. You do it too. What did I do? Listen to see if your watch is going. Must be a reflex action. Even he did it. Mark! Always reminded me of Nelson putting his telescope to his blind eye. I don't suppose you understand about that. Even if you'd loved him, you'd never have known what it meant for a musician. To be deaf. Mark, there's only one thing I know I care about. I don't care about anything else in this world. I just don't care. Fran? Yes? You know, don't you? Yes, Mark. You've always known, haven't you? Yes, I suppose I have. I'm sorry, Fran. For you.  I don't care about anything but you. It has an awful sound. Murder. As I sat watching him walk across the great stage of the Hollywood Bowl, I wanted to pray. But I knew I hadn't even the right to do that. All I could do was think of what he must be thinking. How he must have timed it to the split second. How he must have snipped the wire on the earphone so I wouldn't notice it. How he must have felt when they were coming to the railroad crossing and he heard the warning bell and Ira couldn't. Ira couldn't hear anything. Mark had planned it that way. He had killed my husband because he couldn't hear a little better. Read me through, please. Please, I have to get through. I'm sorry, lady. Mr. Allen isn't receiving any visitors. I'm his wife. Oh, of course. This way, Mr. Allen. Oh, thank heaven. Really, I must... That's all right, doctor. Mrs. Allen, the press are outside. You must talk to them. Mark. I heard the bell. Darling, it's all right. It's all right. I'm here with you. It's me, Franzy. Didn't you hear it? It began to ring as I entered the stage. It was the bell. It took us an hour to get him to make any sense and then suddenly he was all right.  The doctor was as pleased as an old midwife and insisted that it was the sedative that had done the trick. I wish he'd been right. But, you see, by then I was beginning to see what was wrong with Mark and I knew that all the doctors in the world wouldn't do him any good. But I still dared to hope that somehow I could. All right, come on. Let's go.  I'm okay now. Oh, Mark. Oh, you mustn't cry, baby. I'm okay now. Oh, that's why I can cry, you goof. Mark. Yeah. Let's go away from here, right away, to Canada, someplace for a year longer if you want. Even if you don't even look at a note of music, it doesn't matter. You'll be right away from everything and then it won't happen anymore. I know it. If you'll only get away, right away. Even for me, if that would help. Where should we go? Florida? New York? Oh, darling. You know, it's about time you saw something else but palm trees. Let's make it New England. Up around Vermont or something.  I love you. Me too. Why don't you let me drive? You can't with one hand. I can too. Mark, you know, I was wondering, can you get double sleeping bags in Vermont? Mark, Mark, you'd better slow down. Yeah, maybe Canada. Mark, we're coming to the crossing. There's a train. They say it's quiet up there. Mark! They say you can almost hear how quiet it is some places in the woods up there. Mark! Mark! That's how the music ended. They told me today that he was dead before they got us to the hospital. I'm going to live. Isn't that swell? Suspense. Presented by Roma Wines. R-O-M-A. Roma.

Twas the night before Christmas when all through the telecom house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse The racks were hung by the cabinets with care in a hopes that high bandwidth would soon be there The fiber was lit all snug in its ring while visions of 5g danced in wiring and Mama in her kerchief and I in my cap had just settled down to develop an app When out of the hot aisle there arose such a clatter I sprang from the chiller to see what was the matter a way to the node I flew like an arc flash tore open the shutters and threw up the sash The moon on the proxy of the new fallen snow gave the luster of midday to the object storage below When what to my wandering eyes should appear but a data Santa and eight tiny reindeer Now router now switches now firewall and satellite on zip trunk on packet on land and website To the top of the porch to the top of the wall now dash away dash away dash away all He was dressed to impress from his head to his shoe. He looked like he'd just come from a meet me room, too Fiber and cables. He had flung on his back. He looked like a remote hands worker opening his pack His servers how they twinkled his cloud storage.  He rose He sprang to his sleigh to his team gave a call and away. They all flew like an email reply all But I heard him exclaim or he drove out of sight Happy Christmas to all and to all a good night


Welcome to the Hindu News Analysis by Shankar IAS Academy for the date 25th of November 2019. In our today's analysis, we shall be seeing some important news articles like the National Commission for Minorities, then about the recent NSO survey and such other news articles which are displayed here along with the page numbers of Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Trivandrum and Hyderabad editions along with the page numbers displayed here. We handed to notes in the PDF format and the timestamping of all the news articles taken up for today's analysis is given in the description section and also in the comment section for the benefit of the smartphone news. Let us now move on to our analysis. This news article is based on the opinion of Chad person of the National Commission for Minorities on the Ayodhya verdict. The syllabus that is relevant to the analysis of this news article is given here for your reference. As we know earlier this month, the Supreme Court gave its verdict on the disputed land in Ayodhya which is located in Uttar Pradesh. In its judgment, the Supreme Court has asked the central government to formulate a scheme within three months. It had asked to set up a trust to manage the property and construct a temple. Then the Supreme Court had also asked the government to allot five acre plot to Sunni Central work board to construct a mosque in a prominent and suitable place in Ayodhya. And we discussed in detail about this judgment and the complete history of the disputed land in our 10th November analysis, so just have a look at it for further subject clarity. Now in this news article, the Chad person of the National Commission for Minorities had said that filing a review petition against the Supreme Court verdict will not be in the interest of Muslims and such a move might harm the unity between the two communities. The Chad person also urged the Muslim side to respect the judicial verdict and to accept the five acre alternative land that is to be given for constructing a mosque. Now this news article says that the Chad person of the National Commission for Minorities requested the Muslims and Hindus to help each other in building the temple and the mosque respectively. So such a move would prove to be a milestone in strengthening the social harmony between the two communities in our country. So this is all you need to know about from this news article. In this context, now let us discuss in detail about the National Commission for Minorities from exam point of view. Now know that in order to strengthen the cause of the minorities, the United Nations promulgated a particular declaration in December 1992, it is the declaration on the rights of persons belonging to national or ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities. This declaration proclaimed that the states shall protect the existence of the national or ethnic, cultural, religious and linguistic identity of the minorities within their respective territories that is within their country and the states should also encourage the conditions for promotion of that identity. So in line with this declaration, the government of India set up the National Commission for Minorities under the provisions of National Commission for Minorities Act 1992. So we can also call this National Commission for Minorities as a statutory body because it has been formed under the provisions of a particular statute that is an act which is the National Commission for Minorities Act of 1992. Here you have to note one thing before the enactment of this National Commission for Minorities Act of 1992, a commission for minorities existed. The name was the Minorities Commission. It functioned as a non-statutory body. Now post the enactment of this act, the Minorities Commission was renamed as the National Commission for Minorities and it became a statutory body. See the act was enacted in the year 1992, but the first statutory National Commission for Minorities was set up on May 1993. So know this from knowledge point of view. Now if you see initially five religious communities were notified as minority communities by the Union government. Those five religious communities are Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, then Buddhists, then Zoroastrians and in the year 2014, Jains have also been notified as minority community. So as of now, there are six religious communities who have been notified as minority communities by the Union government. Now let us see the composition of this commission. This commission includes a chairperson, then a vice chairperson and then five other members. The five members including the chairperson should be from minority communities. And all the members are nominated by the central government. The members shall be persons of eminence, ability and integrity. Now if you see the term of office of the chairperson and the members of this commission, all of them shall hold office for a term of three years. Next let us see the removal process. The central government has the powers to remove the chairperson or a member of this commission based on these conditions. When a person becomes an undischarged insolvent or when the person is of unsound mind and he has been declared so by a competent court, then if a person refuses to act or becomes incapable of acting or if a person has abused the official position in the opinion of the central government and also some other related conditions. So these are some of the conditions based on which the central government can remove the chairperson or a member of this commission. Now let us see the important functions of this national commission for minorities. The first function is that it shall evaluate the progress of the development of minorities under the union and the states. Then it shall monitor the working of the safeguards that are provided in the constitution for these minorities and also in the laws that are enacted by the parliament and the respective state legislatures. Then this commission can also look into specific complaints when the rights of the minorities are deprived and it can also look into complaints regarding the safeguards of the minorities and it can also look into such other complaints that are related to minorities. Here you also need to know that several states have set up their own state minority commissions. Some of the states are like the state of Andhra Pradesh, then Assam, Bihar, Chattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Maharashtra, etc. Now the functions of all these state commissions are to safeguard and protect the interests of the minorities as provided in the constitution and as in the laws enacted by the parliament and the state legislatures. So now in this context, let us see some of the important safeguards that have been provided in the constitution of India for the minorities. The first and foremost here is the preamble. Now if you read the lines given in the preamble, it declares the state to be a secular one and if you see this is of special relevance for the religious minorities. Next article 14, this article 14 ensures a right to equality before the law and equal protection of the laws for all. Next we have article 15 which provides for the prohibition of discrimination. So there shall be no discrimination against the citizens on the grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or the place of birth. And next if you see we have article 16 class 4 which authorizes the state to make any provision for the reservation of appointments or posts in favor of any backward class of citizens which in the opinion of the state is not adequately represented in the services under the state. So this article indirectly speaks about the reservation to the backward classes and the minorities. Next we have articles 25 to 28, all these articles ensures the right to freedom of religion including the right to freely profess, then practice and propagate religion, then the right to establish and maintain institutions for religious and charitable purposes etc. And next if you see there are also articles which are mentioned in the constitution for the linguistic minorities but today our topic is based on the religious minorities. And for knowledge purpose know that for the linguistic minorities we have article 350a and article 350b. So this is all about the discussion of this news article. In this news article we have discussed in brief about the recent Ayodhya verdict and the comments made by the chairperson of the National Commission for Minorities. So in the context of this news article we have seen in detail about the National Commission for Minorities from exam point of view. And finally about some of the important provisions in the constitution which directly or indirectly discusses about the religious minorities. Now have a look at the practice question. Let us move on to the next news article. This news article is about the findings of the survey which was conducted by the National Statistical Office and this survey refutes some of the claims made by the Prime Minister of India. Now let us see what is this survey about and what are the claims that this survey refutes in our discussion. The syllabus that is relevant to the analysis of this news article is given you for your reference. See this recent survey which was conducted by the National Statistical Office which comes under the Ministry of Statistics and Program Implementation was on drinking water, sanitation, hygiene and housing condition. And this survey was a part of 76th round of National Sample Survey. And this survey was carried out between July and December 2018. Now this news article tells that this survey refutes the claims of the PM. If you see a Prime Minister declared India as open defecation free on 2nd of October 2019. He said that India achieved this status because of the efforts by his government which is nothing but the Swachh Bharat Mission. Now let us see in brief about Swachh Bharat Mission. Know that it was launched by the Government of India on 2nd of October 2014. And if you see the Mission Coordinator for this particular mission is the Secretary Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation which comes under the Ministry of Jal Shakti. If you see it as two submissions, one is the Swachh Bharat Mission Graman and the other is Swachh Bharat Mission Urban. Together both these missions aim to achieve a Swachh Bharat that is a clean India or we can tell 100% open defecation free India by the year 2019. So that it will be a fitting tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th birth anniversary. Now if you see the open defecation free status is defined by two conditions that lead to the termination of fecal oral transmission of infections. The first condition is that there should not be any visible fecus found in the environment of a village. And the second condition is that every household and public or community institutions should be using safe technology option for the disposal of fecus. So an area can be declared open defecation free. If the people living in that particular area have 100% access to toilets and there is 100% usage of those toilets. So this is how the open defecation free status is defined. Now let's come back to the news article. The findings of this NSO survey contradicts the claims of the Prime Minister. As per this survey only 71.3% of the households in the rural areas and about 96.2% of the households in the urban areas had access to littering that is toilets. But according to the news article the central government has claimed that 95% households in the rural areas had access to toilets. So these findings show that rural India is still far away from achieving the open defecation free status. But the survey also points out that this much Bharat scheme has helped to achieve a great progress in terms of toilet access and its usage in the rural areas. Here you have to note that several states have been declared open defecation free by the central government over the last few years. Some of the states are like the states of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and also the state of Tamil Nadu. But the survey found that many of these states are far from achieving this open defecation free status. Now let us see some data that is given in the news article. This news article tells that almost 42% of the rural households in the state of Jharkhand had no access to a toilet when that particular state was declared open defecation free. And if you see in the state of Tamil Nadu this gap was 37% and then in Rajasthan which was 34%. And if you see the state of Gujarat was declared open defecation free back in October 2017. That is before two years. But this news article is telling that, near to 25% of the rural households in the state of Gujarat have no toilet access even enough. Next, this news article also mentions yet another data which was given by the Swachh Bharat Abhyan Graman. In October 2018, the Swachh Bharat Abhyan Graman mission had said that 25 states and union territories had been declared open defecation free while toilet access across the country touched 95%. But in reality, almost near to 28.7% of the rural households had no toilet access at that time. And note that the 71% access to toilets in the rural areas. So you can see there is a gap in the data. But this 71% data which we have saw is quite a significant improvement because in the year 2012 only 40% of the rural households had access to toilets. Now it is almost near to double. As we know, India can be declared open defecation free when it ensures 100% accessibility to let trans, that is toilets, and when it ensures 100% usage of those toilets. This means apart from the government's efforts, there should be some individual efforts made by the people where the people should be willing to use the toilets. Now according to this survey, that is the NSF survey, among those households which had access to let trans, only about 94.7% of the males use these toilets regularly and only about 95.7% of the females in the rural areas use these toilets regularly. Whereas if you see in the urban areas, the usage was near to 98% for both males and females. So from this data, we can tell that the usage of toilets by the females is more when compared to the males in the rural areas, whereas the usage pattern is more or less the same in the urban areas. See here, if you don't confuse with the accessibility to toilets, it is about the usage of toilets, that is the usage of the infrastructure that is available. So from this particular data, you can see that the efforts of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan to change the behavior is more or less a success. But there is still certain percentage of population whose behavior needs to be changed. But overall we can see that when the infrastructure is made available, people are willing to go for a change. So you can use the data from this survey in any of your mains examination or in your essay to quote as an example to tell that when infrastructure is available, people are willing to change. That is, there is a behavioral change. Now let us come back to the news article again. In the last part of this news article, it tells that the next big challenge lies in the disposal of the fecal sludge. Because more than 50% of the rural Indian households with toilets have septic tanks. Whereas another 21% of the rural Indian households with toilets used single pits. Here you can tell that both the structures are more or less the same, but the septic tanks are huge in size, whereas the single pits are small in size. And both of them produce fecal sludge and this particular fecal sludge has to be cleaned often and they have to be disposed of safely. This news article also tells that only 10% of the toilets were built with the twin leech pit system, which was pushed by the Swach Bharat scheme. Now this twin leech pit system composes the waste on its own, that is the fecal sludge on its own without any need for cleaning or disposal. So just know the difference in brief. So this is all about the survey results and we saw how the survey results are contradicting the claims made by the prime minister when he declared India as open defecation free. But nevertheless, we can see that there is a behavioral change in the usage of toilets by the Indian population. Now to conclude our discussion, let us see about National Statistical Office in brief. See this National Statistical Office functions under the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation. It is responsible for conducting large scale sample surveys in diverse fields on all India basis. If you see the data is primarily collected through nationwide household surveys on various socioeconomic subjects and the data is also collected through annual survey of industries and such other methods. Now besides these surveys, the NSO collects data on urban and rural prices. And NSO also plays a very important role in the improvement of crop statistics. How means it supervises the area enumeration and crop estimation surveys of the state agencies. So this is all about the National Statistical Office that you need to know from exam point of view. And this is all about the discussion of this news article. In this news article, we have seen the survey of the National Statistical Office, how it contradicts the claims made by the Prime Minister and finally about the National Statistical Office in brief. Let us move on to the next news article. This news article mentions few facts about access to health in our country. The syllabus that is relevant to the analysis of this news article is given here for your reference. See the main focus of this news article is the health care system in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Today we will be focusing on the existing flaws or drawbacks in the primary health care system throughout India. And in the coming days in a similar news article, we shall discuss the steps taken by the central government in addressing these flaws. Now this news article mentions that the doctor-patient ratio is the worst in the state of Uttar Pradesh. So what is this doctor-patient ratio? Kindly note that the term doctor-patient ratio is interchangeably used for doctor-population ratio. See the World Health Organization has prescribed that the doctor-population ratio is 1 is to 1,000. That is, there has to be one doctor for 1,000 persons in a community. Now what is the status of this doctor-population ratio in India? As on 2019, the doctor-population ratio in India is 1 is to 1,456, which means for every 1,456 persons, there is one doctor available. So we can see there is a below-average doctor-population ratio. Now in addition to this below-average doctor-population ratio, there is also a huge variation in the distribution of doctors who are working in the urban and the rural areas. If you see for around four doctors in the urban area, there is only one doctor in the rural area. That is the urban to rural doctor density ratio is around 3.8 is to 1. This news article also states that the primary health center infrastructure in the state of Uttar Pradesh is also the worst. This is because considerable number of the primary health care centers in the state of Uttar Pradesh are working without electricity and there is also no regular water supply and sometimes the primary health care centers are not accessible at all because of the absence of all-weather motorable approach routes. So these are some of the points that require attention for the primary health care system as a role for India, though this news article is pertaining to the state of Uttar Pradesh. So if you want to list out the negatives of primary health care infrastructure, then maybe you can mention all these points that we saw. Now let us see the scenario with respect to the primary health centers at the national level with the help of rural health statistics 2018. See the total number of functioning primary health care centers in India is around 25,000. To be exact, it is 25,743. Out of these primary health care centers, around 3.2 percentage of the primary health care centers do not have electric supply and around 25 percentage of the primary health centers which are without power supply are in the state of Uttar Pradesh. So we can tell that approximately 0.8 percentage of the primary health care centers that do not have electric supply are located in the state of Uttar Pradesh when compared with the total primary health care centers. Also if you see around 5.1 percentage of the primary health care centers in India do not have a regular water supply. So this is also a sorry state of affairs in India that too for the health facilities because water is definitely required to maintain the sanitation. Now in case of provisions such as all whether motorable approach roads, telephone and computer facilities, you may go through the data which is given here in this image. See the data here are not directly taken from the government source. This information is taken from a large chunk of data and that has been presented in a simple manner for the benefit of our subscribers and viewers. So this is all from the view of infrastructure in material terms. Now let us have a look at the lack of number of doctors at the primary health centers. Of the sanctions strength of around 34,417 doctors at the national level around 8,572 posts light vacant in the year 2018. That is approximately 25 percentage of the posts light vacant in the year 2018. This means thousands of people depending on these sanctions strengths of doctors are left unattended. So we can also tell that the non-filling of vacancies has led to the increase in the workload on the existing doctors in the nearby primary health centers. So this is also yet another reason which has led to the deterioration of efficient health service delivery. So who are the main authorities who must be held responsible for this? The authorities are mainly the state government. This is because public health and sanitation, hospitals and dispensaries comes under the state list in schedule seven of Indian constitution. Therefore all the administrative and personal matters about the primary health centers lie with the state governments. This also includes the recruitment of doctors at the primary health centers. So here the main culprit is the state government. And we saw that this news article also talks about rural health statistics of 2018. Know that this report was released by the statistics division of the ministry of health and family welfare and not by the ministry of statistics and program implementation. So just remember this. So this is all about the discussion of this news article. To summarize this news article we have seen in brief about the doctor population ratio then about the primary health care center scenario in the state of Uttar Pradesh. And the reasons why the primary health care infrastructure is not so good in India. And finally we saw the data related to the recruitment process of the doctors and the huge backlog in the recruitment process. Now have a look at the practice question. Let us move on to the next news article. This news article is about the progress on the Ken Betwa River interlinking project. This project involves transferring surplus water from the Ken River in the state of Madhya Pradesh to the Betwa Basin. And it aims to irrigate around about 3.64 lakh hectares in the Bundelkhand region of both these states. That is the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The syllabus that is relevant to the analysis of this news article is given here for your reference. In this context first let us see about the interlinking of rivers under the National Perspective Plan. Then we shall be seeing about the details of Ken Betwa rivers from geography point of view.  Now coming to the National Perspective Plan. See for a country like India which is largely dependent on monsoon, proper utilization of water is necessary. Therefore to harness the water resources, the then ministry of water resources which is now the ministry of Jal Shakti and the Central Water Commission formulated a National Perspective Plan for Water Resources Development in the year 1980. Now this National Perspective Plan aimed at interbasin transfer of water from the surplus basins to the deficit basins with a view to minimize the regional imbalances and also to optimally use the available water resources. And if you see this National Perspective Plan has two components. One is the Himalayan Rivers Development Component and the other is the Peninsular Rivers Development Component. For more details about this National Perspective Plan refer to our 19th November analysis because very recently we saw about this National Perspective Plan. Now let us see about Ken Betwa Interlinking Project. Here you need to know that both these rivers Ken Betwa and also the rivers of Chambal Sindh are all the right bank tributaries of river Yamuna as you can see in this picture. Now this proposed Ken Betwa Interlinking Project envisages diversion of surplus waters of the Ken River Basin to the water deficit Betwa River Basin as you can see in this picture. So this is the planned interlinking route. So there is a plan to build a 77 meter tall and a two kilometer wide Dhaudhan Dam on Ken River in the state of Madhya Pradesh. And from this Dhaudhan Dam the canal of length of about 230 kilometer is proposed to link with the water deficit Betwa Basin. Now we shall see the advantages of this particular project if it is implemented. Now the main utility of interlinking of both these rivers is that irrigating the Bundelkhand region of both these states that is the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. And if you see this project will also provide drinking water supply throughout the route of this canal. So both these are the advantages of this particular project. Now let us see some of the challenges in implementing this Ken Betwa linking project. This particular project involves deforesting a portion of Panna Tiger Reserve which is located in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Now if the forest cover is removed and if that particular area is being used for interlinking of rivers then there will be an impact on the wildlife in this particular tiger reserve, especially the tigers. So losing the forest cover is one thing which amounts to environmental degradation and because of this there will also be impact on the wildlife. Next, this proposed interlinking project may submerge some of the villages to about 4,000 villages. So now all these villages will be affected if this project is about to be implemented. And if you see the villages have been protesting against this project on the grounds of the loss of their livelihood. The next challenge is regarding the sharing of the waters of this interlinking project. Both the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have expressed their concerns regarding the sharing of the waters for this project. So these are some of the important concerns about this Ken Betwa interlinking project which needs to be addressed so that the progress of the project can be made with mutual cooperation between the states of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. So this is all about this news article analysis. In this news article we have seen about the need for interlinking of rivers under the national perspective plan, then about the details of the Ken Betwa rivers from geography point of view and finally the advantages and the challenges in implementing this particular project. Now have a look at the practice question. Let us move on to the next news article. This news article is about the data related to the implementation of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act of 1967. The syllabus relevant for the analysis of this news article is given you for your reference. This news article mentions that in the year 2017 in the state of Manipur around 330 cases were registered under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act of 1967 and there were about 352 arrests made under this particular law in that particular year. And this news article also draws attention to the state of Uttar Pradesh where even though the number of cases registered were less which was 109 that is which is around one third of the cases that was registered in the state of Manipur this particular state accounted for the highest number of arrests made under this UAPA Act in the year 2017. Now you need not remember all the values just know the trend like in which state the cases were high and in which states the number of arrests were high. So with respect to this UAPA Act you have to keep a tab on all these six states which I mentioned in this table. This is because throughout India these six states account for more than 90 percentage in terms of the number of cases registered and also the terms of number of arrests made. Next, know that the recent crime in India statistics has been released only for the year 2017. This report is released by National Crime Records Bureau. So the statistics for the year 2018 have not yet been released by National Crime Records Bureau. Another fact that is related to this 2017 with respect to UAPA Act is that the year 2017 has seen an increase of around 55 percentage arrests when compared to the year 2016. So this is one fact. Then the news article talks about the time period that was available for the law enforcement agency to carry out the investigation. Know that once a case is registered by a law enforcement agency then the police has to immediately arrest the accused. Then the investigation will begin after the arrest of the accused. And once the investigation is completed the police has to submit the charge sheet in the court of law. And after the charge sheet is submitted in the court of law the prosecution will begin in the court of law. Now this news article mentions that in terms of UAPA Act the law enforcement agency has to submit the charge sheet within a period of 180 days from the date of the arrest of the accused. See the normal time given under section 43D of this UAPA Act of 1967 is 90 days only. This provision however allows the court to extend the period of investigation from 90 days to 180 days if it is not possible to complete the investigation within that period of 90 days. This means once the maximum court permitted investigation period completes that is once the 180 days are complete from the day of arrest of the accused then the police have to submit the charge sheet in the court so that the prosecution may begin in the court of law. So this is about the time period which is available for the law enforcement agency to carry out the investigation and submit the charge sheet. Next the news article talks about the maximum punishment under this UAPA Act of 1967. The maximum punishment is death penalty and then life imprisonment followed by other term imprisonments and fine. So just know that the maximum punishment for the terrorist acts under this law is death penalty or death sentence. You may highlight this fact to mention in an essay paper or in some other GS paper on questions regarding death penalty. Next the news article discusses about the accountability and transparency issues that are existing at the level of Rajya Sabha in parliament. See there were around five questions that were asked by a member of Rajya Sabha to the union home ministry. One of the questions was how many of the under trial persons are still in jail for more than five years under the UAPA Act. Here the term under trial refers to a person who is accused under a law but prosecution that is trial as began in the court of law. And if a person remains as under trial for three years it means the trial has started in the court three years ago but there is no conclusion on that particular trial yet. For this question which was asked by the member of Rajya Sabha the answer was not given by the minister of state of the ministry of home affairs. In fact no response was given to this question. So this shows that there are certain transparency and accountability issues even when a question is put in the parliament by a member of Rajya Sabha. So this is all about this news article. So in this news article we have seen certain data related to the implementation of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act of 1967 about those states which had more number of cases and in those states where the higher number of arrests were made and then also about the time period that was available for the law enforcement agency to carry out the investigation and submit the chart sheet and finally about the transparency and accountability issues. Now if you remember there was a recent current affairs with respect to this UAPA Act of 1967 which were the amendments made to this particular act in the monsoon session of the parliament three months back in the month of August. So one of the major amendment was even individuals can now be declared as terrorists. This is just for you to revise the major current affairs with respect to a particular topic. So whenever you are studying about UAPA Act try to know these recent amendments and also some data related to this particular UAPA Act.  Let us move on to the next news article. Now see this news article. This news article is about Indian soft shell turtles. The news article tells that these turtles were found abandoned on roadside. If you remember we saw a news article on 18th of November where the news article was on illegal trade of certain endangered species. We saw slow loruses then Indian star tortoise and also soft shell turtle. But if you remember we told that we do not know which exact species of soft shell turtle the news article is actually mentioned. So from the earlier news article we can see that there is an active illegal trade which is happening in the state of Telangana. In continuation with that news article we shall see today's news article. It tells that the Indian soft shell turtles were found abandoned at Moolakalapalli Mandal in the state of Telangana. Now what you need to know from this news article is that as already told whenever you are studying a particular species try to know about its protection status under IUCN sites and Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. Now know that Indian soft shell turtle is categorized as or listed as vulnerable species under the IUCN red list of threatened species. It is based on the assessment done in the year 2000. Next if you see the Indian soft shell turtle is listed under appendix one of sites that is the convention on international trade in endangered species. And next if you see the Indian soft shell turtle is listed under schedule one part two of the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972. And if you remember during our discussion on 18th of November where we saw about Indian star tortoise we mentioned that it was listed under appendix two of sites but it is actually appendix one of sites. So we request the viewers to make a change because in the month of August 2019 the status of Indian star tortoise was upgraded from appendix two to appendix one. So kindly make a change. And this news article also tells that the rescue turtles were immediately shifted to Kinarasani reservoir. Now know that this reservoir is located on Kinarasani river and this river is an important tributary of river Godavari. This is all about the discussion of this news article. This news article is about Teyem. The news article tells that the State Human Rights Commission has taken a Suomotu case in connection with a video in which Teyem performer was seen beating up the devotees during the temple rituals. So in this context let us see in brief about Teyem. See Teyem is the popular ritual art form of Kolathanadu which is the Estwell Kingdom of Kannur. So it is a popular ritual art form of the state of Kerala. If you see this Teyem dance is performed in front of the village shrine groves and in the houses as ancestor worship. Usually if you see the Teyem period is from the months of October November and it comes to a close by the end of June. In this ritual art form, man assumes the form of God and he dances. So the people consider Teyem as mediums of gods or goddesses and they seek blessings from the performers. Here the performer is called as a Kolakaran or Koladari and as a part of a ritual they also beat up the devotees. So this is the bone of contention where the State Human Rights Commission of Kerala state has taken a sumo to case against this act. If you see the Center for Cultural Resources and Training which comes under the Ministry of Culture categorizes this Teyem of Kerala as a form of dance drama or folk theater and it has also mentioned certain other dance drama and folk theaters. Let us see them now. One is the Nautanki folk theater which is practiced in the states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Next is the Bhava of Gujarat and then the Tamasha of Maharashtra. Then we have the Bengali Jhatra and also the Yakshagana of Karnataka along with Teyem of Kerala. So all these narrate the legends of local heroes, kings and deities in one form or the other. So just remember all these forms of dance drama or folk theater. Now have a look at the practice question. With this we come to the end of the analysis of all the news articles taken up for today's discussion. Let us now move on to the practice questions discussion session. See this question. The question is consider the following statements regarding the National Commission for Minorities. They've given two statements and you need to choose the correct statements. Now look at the first statement. It speaks about the functions. It tells that one of its functions is to monitor the working of the safeguards for minorities provided in the constitution and in the laws enacted by the parliament and the state legislatures. This statement is correct. It is one of the function of the National Commission for Minorities. This National Commission for Minorities also has certain other functions like evaluating the progress of the development of minorities under the union and states. Then it has also a function to look into specific complaints regarding the deprivation of rights and safeguards of minorities, et cetera. So this first statement is correct. Now look at the second statement. It tells that it is a statutory body functioning under the Ministry of Minority Affairs. This statement is also correct. Know that the union government set up the National Commission for Minorities under the National Commission for Minorities Act 1992. Since it has been set up under the provisions of this particular act, it is called as a statutory body. And this statutory body, that is the National Commission for Minorities functions under the Ministry of Minority Affairs. So this statement is also correct. The question asks you to choose the correct statements. The correct answer is option C, both one and two. Now look at the next question. Consider the following statements. Both these statements are related to minority communities. Now look at the first statement. It tells that Sikhs and Jains are notified minority communities in India. This statement is correct. At present, there are six minority religious communities in India who are Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Zoroastrians, that is Parsis and Jains. And Jains were notified as minority community in the year 2014. So this first statement is correct. Now look at the second statement. It tells that the state governments can notify a community living under its territory as a minority community. Here you need to know that as per Section 2C of the National Commission for Minorities Act of 1992, minority community refers to those communities which are notified as minority community by the central government. So this means that the state governments and the National Commission for Minorities do not have any authority to notify any community as a minority community in India. So the second statement goes wrong here. Now this question is asked you to choose the correct statements. The correct answer is option A, one, only. Now look at this question. Question is, consider the following statements. They've given two statements and you need to choose the correct answer. The first statement tells that the World Health Organization prescribed doctor to population ratio is 1 is to 1000. See this statement is correct as per World Health Organization. The doctor to population ratio needs to be 1 is to 1000. That is for every 1000 persons, there needs to be one doctor. So this statement is correct. Now look at the second statement. It tells that India has already achieved this ratio. Know that as per the government data, we have one doctor per 1,456 individuals. So this is below the limits mentioned by the World Health Organization. It means for every 1,456 persons, we are having only one doctor. So this is below average score when compared to the prescribed ratio which is 1 is to 1000. So we can tell that India has not achieved this ratio. So this statement goes wrong. Now this question is asked you to choose the correct statements. The correct answer is option A, one, only. Now look at this question. There are three statements in this question. Look at the first statement. It tells that Chambal, Betva and Cain rivers are the tributaries of Yamuna river. This statement is correct. Know that the rivers Chambal, Cain, Betva and Cain are the right bank tributaries of river Yamuna. Now look at the second statement. It tells that Ken Betva interlinking project aims to irrigate the Bandelkan region. This statement is also correct. The main utility of the interlinking of this project is irrigating the Bandelkan region which is located in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Also this project aims to provide a drinking water supply along the route of the canal that is to be constructed. Now look at the third statement. It tells that Panna Tiger reserve is located in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Know that Panna Tiger reserve is located in the state of Madhya Pradesh. So the third statement goes wrong. Now this question has asked you to choose the incorrect statements. The correct answer here is option B, three, only since only the third statement is incorrect. Look at the next question. The question is considered the following pairs. They have given the art form and the state and you have to choose the correct pairs from the pairs that I mentioned here. Now look at the first pair, Bhavai Gujarat. This pair is correct. Next pair, Yakshagana Telangana. This pair is wrong because Yakshagana is an art form which is practiced in the state of Karnataka not Telangana. Look at the third pair, Tayyam Kerala. Yes, this pair is correct. Tayyam is a ritual art form which is practiced in the state of Kerala, especially in the northern part of Kerala. Now this question asks you to choose the correctly matched pairs. The correct answer is option D, one and three, only because the second pair is wrong. With this, we come to the end of the practice questions discussion session and also to the end of today's session.

Homemade cheesy scalloped potatoes. Let's make it. Peel your potato, make it look like that. Get your tater sliced thin. Keep them submerged in water while we make our sauce. Half stick of butter, cream cheese, one cup of milk, Swiss cheese, mild cheddar cheese, second cup of milk. Gonna need some Velvita. We're gonna go for about half. I almost forgot. We gotta put some onion in. Now we're at our Danos.  One more cup of water, so that's three total. Milk, you know we gotta add a little bit of the red top. Now we go into our 450 degree oven. It's been 20 minutes, way far from being done. Now it's been 40 minutes. Maneuver these around. Top it with our aged cheddar blend. Back in we go. Those are made to perfection. Yum yum, get you some of that.


Okay, so after doing a pretty harsh harvest of lettuce here off of my let pot system I'm going to replenish the nutrient waters here in the container You can see here. It's at about three and a half liters I'm just going to top it right up to the to the max which is five five liters I have mixed up a new batch of nutrients. I got a four liter batch here Using the A&B plant food that come with the let pot So first of all, we're going to just top up the water the nutrient water And then we are going to do a pH and an EC test just to see where it's at So I found with now that the lettuce was really taking off here and really growing fast in the last week that it did Drink up the nutrient waters pretty fast So that's something to watch for once your vegetables really get growing and producing fruit Keep a closer eye on the nutrient water because those roots really will start sucking it up So I have it to the max now I'll just give you a visual of what all those roots look like It's pretty crazy So we're just going to now I'm just going to try to push this to the side so we can get to the water here and we'll do our pH and EC testing So I've just moved the top here over a little bit to the side so that we can get to the water and Do our testing? So when you do your pH and EC you start off by doing your pH Make sure it's at the right level and then once you've got it adjusted if necessary Then you can test the the nutrient level or the EC level. So I have it written down here for lettuce I just did a Google I checked two or three different Spots because sometimes you get a variation of numbers, but it says the pH for lettuce Growing hydroponically should be somewhere in the 5.5 to 6 range so with these pH meters you usually have to Leave it in the water for about 30 seconds to get a final reading and I can see already that the pH is a Little bit high. It's showing somewhere in the 7.4 range. It's going down a little bit So as you can see here, it is sitting very close to that 7.00 range and we want to get it into the 5.5 to 6 So let's try using some pH down So this is what you use to adjust your pH. So if you need to bring the pH up It's got the up arrow here This is the one you want to use if you need to bring the pH down use the bottle that's got the down arrow And you don't need very much. So when you start off just put a few drops in I've got what have I got here? I Think I've got two milliliters here. I'm just going to put in one milliliter Don't really worry too much about the exact measurements, but Just put it in let it's Kind of mix in really well stir it around try not to get wrapped up in your roots here And then try another pH test So as you can see here those few drops have Made a bit of a decrease in the pH. It seems to be sitting around 6.3 We want it to get it between 5.5 and 6 so maybe just add a few more drops of the pH down So a few more drops has taken us below that 6.0. So I'm happy with that Now you could keep track of exactly how much drops you put in and keep records of you know Where it was at and where you got it to but I'm so not into doing all that Keeping records of that kind of stuff. I find I write it down somewhere And then I don't keep it accurate or don't keep my records very good So it's up to you if you are person who likes to do that by all means You know keep track of how many drops you put in and what it took to get to you to the right levels I'm just happy to have it sitting here at 5.9. So now we're ready to check the EC level So with this meter you can check the PPM and the EC it always Defaults to PPM when you turn it on I'm going to hit the shift Which will take us to an EC reading instead and this is pretty much instant You don't have to hold it in there too long So the lettuce and leafy greens is recommended EC level of 1.2 to 1.8 So this reading is coming out at 0.09, which is a little bit low Which means our nutrients maybe are a little bit weak on here So with this meter once you get a reading you can click the hold button so you can have a hold that Reading and you can see here after I added just a few more drops of each of the nutrients to the solution Hopefully you can see that The numbers have gone up. I just put a decimal after the first number here Just so it matches what you see on my list here. I want it to get it to 1.2 To 1.8. It's coming out at 1.13. So it's still just a slightly little bit lower so again You could just add a few more drops of the nutrient Directly into your container here Don't want to put too much But it's getting very close to being where it should be Because I'm adding to an existing vessel here of nutrient water. This is why I'm kind of doing it Like trial and error. I'm just going to add another two and a half mils of Each of the nutrients here Give it a good stir So I'm sure some people watching this would just like totally think I'm Doing this all wrong. I just try to keep it as simple Some people will you know dump out this whole container and start from scratch every time and replenish that way I like to just top it up with nutrient water and I am going to just run another test here after adding that extra nutrients and That has bumped it way up now to 1.4 So we are right within that range For lettuces, which is that 1.2 to 1.8. So I'm happy with that So that is a simple way of just adjusting and getting your nutrient waters back to the levels they should be I'm Curious to see how this lettuce will come back now since I chopped it all down I should see some new growth coming here in the next week and be able to get another harvest or two off of this lettuce So if you find that you have added too much Nutrients your EC level is too high That may cause damage to the roots because it would be too strong that could burn your roots So if you find that you have made too much and you got a full vessel here You can you know root remove some of the nutrient water and just add plain water Take a test see if you can get that to EC level down So you can do it two different ways just like I did where I'm just topping up the existing Nutrient water in here running a test and Adjusting it accordingly or if you want you can remove the whole container of existing nutrient water and Start fresh with a whole new batch and then test it from there either way works I prefer just to kind of work with the water that I have in there and adjust it accordingly as This goes down over the next week or two. I have this jug mixed up. I will just top it up I don't really worry too much about checking the EC level every time I add I think with lettuces. It's pretty you know hard to cause too much damage as long as you haven't mixed up a really strong batch here You should be okay So I hope that makes sense to everybody and I didn't over complicate it I try to make hydroponics less complicated I find there's so much scientific information out there about you know, how the EC levels and the pH and how you need to adjust and keep everything balanced I try to make it as simple as possible So if you found my video helpful, please give it a like and leave me a comment if you have anything to share about how you Manage your nutrient water for your hydroponic systems. Please let me know in the comments I'd love to share that information with everybody out there So if you haven't already done so hit that subscribe button click the notification bell So you don't miss out on future videos coming to the channel. Thank you for watching
