Hello all, welcome to Shankara Ace Academy's YouTube channel. Before starting our Hindu daily news analysis for today, I have an announcement for you all. This is about the pre-storming test series brought to you by Shankara Ace Academy. Yes, yet another batch of pre-storming is going to commence from March 5th of this month. Interested aspirants who have not enrolled in any of the test series till now can make use of this opportunity and register. Totally 25 tests will be included in this test series. So aspirants kindly make use of this opportunity and register. The registration link and other details of this batch is provided in the description of this video. Now with this information, let's get into the today's article discussion. These are the articles which we are going to discuss today. Now let's start with the first article for the day. Now let us take this article for our discussion. It is about the proton beam therapy for cancers. According to the article, proton beam therapy is considered a viable alternative to the radiation therapy for treating solid cancer tumors. Especially this particular type of treatment is more effective in head and neck cancers. Patients with cancers of prostate, ovaries, breasts, lungs, bones and soft tissues have also seen promising results in terms of recovery through this particular therapy. But there are two major problems associated with proton beam therapy. One is the lack of facilities and the other is the humongous cost associated with this new treatment. This is what is given in this article. So in this discussion, we will try to see about the new kind of cancer treatment called the proton beam therapy. See as the name suggests, proton beam therapy uses protons to treat cancers. So it is a type of radiation therapy. Normally x-rays are used to treat cancers but in the case of this therapy, protons are used. Now let us understand how proton therapy works. Know that fundamentally all tissue cells are made of molecules. And these molecules are made up of atoms which is their building blocks. As you all know, in the center of every atom there will be a nucleus and the particle which orbits the nucleus of the atom are negatively charged and they are called as electrons. Now when energized a proton which is present in the nucleus passes near the orbiting electrons, the positive charge of the protons attracts the negatively charged electrons. This particular case which I had said now will lead to pulling out of the electrons from the orbits in which they have been rotating around the nucleus. This particular process is only known as initiation. It changes the characteristics of the atom itself. And when the characteristic of the atom is changed, it leads to the change in character of the larger molecule. This is because as I already said, molecules are made up of atoms. So when atoms are affected, then molecules will also be affected. And because of this initiation, there will be changes in the DNAs which are present inside the cells. Damaging the DNA means destroying the specific cell functions particularly the ability to divide or proliferate. So by initiation the ability to divide or reproduce of the cells is affected. See both normal and cancerous cells go through repair process when their reproduction ability is affected. But the point here to notice that cancer cells ability to repair molecular injury is inferior when compared to normal cells. As a result cancer cells are more permanently damaged and subsequently cell death occurs. But this is not the case with normal cells. Normal cells will undergo repair process and they will increase their cell population. And this is how proton therapy is used to treat cancer specific cells. Now before concluding, we will see the major benefit associated with proton therapy over x-rays. See the major benefit associated with proton therapy is the exposure to minimal radiation when compared with the x-rays. Now look at this image. On the left x-ray therapy is given. See initially the dosage in x-ray therapy is high. So it affects the healthy cells which are present before the tumor. And after this only it comes into contact with the actual cancer tumor. The initial interaction of the x-ray with healthy cell causes damage to the healthy cell due to the x-ray's high radiation. This will lead to healthy cell getting more affected than the tumor cells. Now look at the right side of this image. It shows the proton therapy. The initial dosage is not high here and the entire energy is released only in the tumor area. And also note that the proton therapy induced radiation does not penetrate beyond the cancerous cells. Look at this graph also. It also explains the same thing which I had said till now. Here the brown line indicates the proton dosage and the blue line indicates the x-ray dosage. See how the blue line extends beyond the tumor area and the brown line cuts itself out just after the end of the tumor area. And in this way proton therapy minimizes the damage caused to the healthy cells. This is the major benefit associated with proton therapy over conventional x-ray radiation treatment. If you want to know more about the side effects and application of proton therapy then watch our Hindu Daily News Analysis for the date 25th of September 2022. With this we have come to the end of this discussion. Through this discussion we have seen about proton therapy and its benefits. With these learned points in mind now let's move on to the next article discussion. Yesterday the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology launched the Grievance Appellate Committee portal under the IT Rules 2021. So people who are dissatisfied with the resolution of complaints to social media companies regarding content takedown requests can now appeal to Grievance Appellate Committee. In this backdrop let us understand the steps involved in Grievance Redressal Mechanism in relation to a social media intermediary. See the 2021 IT Rules mandates the social media intermediaries to establish a Grievance Redressal Mechanism for receiving complaints from the users or victims. These intermediaries can appoint a Grievance Officer to deal with such complaints and share the name and contact details of such officer on their portal. So any person aggrieved by the content of a publisher may file a complaint with the social media intermediary through the Grievance Redressal Mechanism to the Grievance Officer of the particular company. Here the Grievance Officer should acknowledge the complaint within 24 hours and resolve it within 15 days from its receipt. Let me explain to you this concept using an example so that you can understand it better. Let's say a obscene photo of you is published in a social platform. Before the introduction of these particular rules, if you want to file a complaint against the publisher to take down the photo, you need to file a complaint to the headquarters of the company. Normally social media company headquarters are located in their home countries. So this is a cumbersome process. This is why Indian government through the IT Rules 2021 introduced a concept of Grievance Redressal Mechanism. Through this concept it made the social media intermediaries to appoint a Grievance Officer for this specific purpose. So from now on, users from India for any content removal queries can contact this Grievance Officer of the particular social media company. But what if the decision of the Grievance Officer is not satisfactory to the user or the complaint is not addressed within the specified time? Can the user appeal against the decision of the Grievance Officer to a higher authority? See the simple answer to this question is yes. This is where Grievance Appellate Committee comes into picture. See earlier the user can appeal against the decision of the Grievance Officer in the courts. Since our courts are already overburdened, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology recently amended the IT Rules to aid in the establishment of Grievance Appellate Committees. So basically the Grievance Appellate Committee is set up to provide an alternative to a user to file an appeal against the decision of the Grievance Officer rather than directly going to the court of law. But remember the proposed IT Rules 2021 does not restrict the user from directly approaching courts. Under the Act, three Grievance Appellate Committees will be set up and the complaint can be heard by any of these three committees. Each committee will have a chairperson, two old time members from different government entities and retired senior executives from the industry for a term of three years from the date of assumption of office. All the members of the Grievance Appellate Committees are appointed by the Union Government themselves. Coming back, if a user is not satisfied with the ruling of the Grievance Officer, then he can appeal to the Grievance Appellate Committee within period of 30 days. The Grievance Appellate Committee in their part should resolve the appeal made by the user within 30 days. To arrive at a decision, the Grievance Appellate Committee can take assistance from people with necessary qualifications and experience on the subject matter. Once decision is made, the social media intermediaries must comply with the orders of the Grievance Appellate Committee. And also note that a report highlighting the steps taken by the social media intermediary should also be updated in their websites. See, the dispute resolution mechanism adopted by the Grievance Appellate Committee is digital in nature. So, the appeal against the order of Grievance Officer of a social media intermediary can be made online and the order issued by the Grievance Appellate Committee can also be made only in the online medium. Remember, a user can approach the Grievance Appellate Committee only if the Grievance has not been satisfactorily addressed by the intermediary. See, the user cannot directly appeal to the Grievance Appellate Committee. This is all you need to know about Grievance Officers and Grievance Appellate Committees. Through this discussion, we came to know about the term Grievance Officers and also about newly introduced mechanism called the Grievance Appellate Committees. With all these points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. Now, take a look at this editorial display here. It talks about a new agreement called the Windsor Framework signed between the European Union and the United Kingdom. So, in this discussion, we will try to understand the background of this agreement and also we will try to see about the protocols that governs the movement of goods between the Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the European Union. Firstly, you should have an understanding about what is United Kingdom, Great Britain and Northern Ireland. See, Great Britain is an island consisting of England, Wales and Scotland. Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. However, the United Kingdom also includes Northern Ireland apart from England, Wales and Scotland. So, United Kingdom is much broader a word when compared with Great Britain. Here note that the Republic of Ireland is altogether a separate country. Now, let us look at the history of Northern Ireland and how it came into being. As many of you already know, Britain was one of the mightiest colonial power of the estuaries. During this period only, the entire island of Ireland was brought under the control of British colonizers. During the early decades of 20th century, there emerged an nationalistic movement among the people of Ireland. This resulted in the Irish War of Independence. As a result of it, the island of Ireland was bifurcated and the present Republic of Ireland was granted independence by the British in the 1920s. Here, the Northern Ireland remained within the administrative control of Britain. This is due to the presence of people with English ancestry living in the Northern Ireland. Here note that Northern Ireland contained two groups of people. One were called as Unionists and the other were called as Nationalists. The Unionists wanted Northern Ireland to stay within the broader United Kingdom. And on the other hand, Nationalists wanted it to become part of the newly independent Republic of Ireland. Because of the difference in ideology of these two warring groups, from the late 1960s onwards, there emerged a armed conflict between the groups. This armed conflict resulted in huge-scale violence. This period lasted for nearly 30 years. Finally, an agreement was signed for bringing cooperation between the two communities living in Northern Ireland. This agreement was only called as the Famous Good Friday Agreement. It brought the violence to an end by establishing a devolved power-sharing administration and it also created new institutions for cross-border cooperation between Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. It basically allowed for free movement of goods and people between Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This is all about the Good Friday Agreement. All went well until the United Kingdom decided to leave the European Union. See, this was done after the Brexit referendum, which the people of the United Kingdom voted for with a majority of 52%. See, before Brexit, the trade between Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland was easy. This was because both were in the zone of the European Union. Because of this, they shared the same trade roles. So, the trade was relatively easy. But after the implementation of Brexit, Northern Ireland became the only part of the UK that have a land border with an EU country which is nothing but the Republic of Ireland. Because of this, checks were required on goods transported between the United Kingdom and the European Union's markets. But this could not happen in the Irish border. This is because of the Good Friday Agreement. If new checkpoints are placed on the Irish border, then the cross-border cooperation could be threatened. So, a new deal was required to prevent any new checks between the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland. Therefore, a new deal called the Northern Ireland Protocol was made. Under the Northern Ireland Protocol, a different type of border check was introduced. According to this protocol, the inspections were not to be carried out at the Irish border. Rather, the inspection and document checks were carried out at the Northern Ireland sports. This applied to goods travelling from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. The checks applied even if the goods will remain in the Northern Ireland itself. See, this particular Northern Ireland Protocol made transfer of even the basic essential goods from the United Kingdom to Northern Ireland difficult and expensive. So, the Unionist Party, which I told you earlier, wanted this Northern Ireland Protocol to be dropped out. They felt that these checks create a border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. Apart from this, businesses also complained that the checks created extra costs and delays. So, this is the reason why a new Windsor framework was signed. This new deal is aimed at significantly reducing the number of checks. Here, two lanes would be created for goods arriving in Northern Ireland from Great Britain. Firstly, a green lane for goods which will remain in Northern Ireland will be created. This green lane will not involve any checks. Secondly, a red lane for goods which may be sent on to the Republic of Ireland, which is part of the European Union, will be made. Here in the red lane, checks and inspections will be carried out on the goods which is transferred there. This Windsor framework will help in fully implementing the Brexit framework. With this, we have come to the end of this discussion. Through this discussion, we have seen about the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland Protocol and the newly introduced Windsor framework. We also saw about what is the difference between the United Kingdom and Great Britain. With all these learned points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. Take a look at this article displayed here. It is about a recently held event in Coimbatore titled Coimbatore Unlimited 2.0. In the event, there was a discussion about the creation of a district level Windsor capital fund to support the startups of this region. This is about the crux of the article given here. So, in our discussion today, we will see what is the criteria for a company to be called as a startup. And we will also see about the authority which recognizes startups in India. Finally, we will also see about the term Unicorn. First, let us look at the criteria for a startup in India. See, the government of India has defined a startup as an entity that is less than 10 years old. And this particular entity should have an annual turnover of less than 100 crores. In addition, the startup must be working towards innovation, development or improvement of products, processes or services. The startups must also have a scalable business model with high potential for employment generation or wealth creation. Finally, startups should have been formed originally by the promoters and should not have been formed by splitting up or reconstructing an existing business. These are all the criteria for declaration of a startup in India. Now, coming to the question, who recognizes startups in India? To be recognized as a startup in India, the entity must register itself on the startup India portal. After registration, it will obtain a certificate of recognition from the department for promotion of industry and internal trade. This DPIIT is the nodal agency for the startup recognition ecosystem in India. So, basically, the DPIIT through a certificate of recognition can declare any particular company as a startup. Before concluding our discussion, let us see what is meant by the term Unicorn. See, Unicorn is a term used to describe a privately held startup company that has achieved a stock market valuation of at least $1 billion. See, this particular term was coined by Eileen Lee, who was a founder of Cowboy Ventures in the year 2013. Since these startups are rare like the mythical unicorns, they are called as unicorns. Some well-known unicorns in India include Paytm, Ola, Flipkart and Someto. This is all regarding this discussion. Through this discussion, we saw about the criteria for startup declaration in India, who recognizes startups in India, and finally, we also saw about the term Unicorn. With all these points in mind, now let us move on to the next article discussion. Now, have a look at this article displayed here. It says that ISRO has successfully conducted the flight acceptance test of the CE-20 cryogenic engine. See, this particular engine is only going to power the cryogenic upper stage of launch vehicle Mach-3 of the Chandrayan-3 mission. And recently also, Chandrayan-3 lander had undergone a test called the electromagnetic interference and compatibility test. This is what is given in this article. Using this opportunity, now let us see the objectives of the Chandrayan-3 mission and its components. Before starting this discussion, I want you all to watch the February 20th Hindu Daily News Analysis to get a background understanding of Chandrayan and Chandrayan-2 missions of ISRO. Kindly check that video to get a comparative understanding of all the three lunar missions of India. Now, let's get into this discussion. See, Chandrayan-3 is a follow-up mission to the Chandrayan-2 mission of India. If you can remember, Chandrayan-2 mission of ISRO was a failure. While it was successful in putting the lunar orbiter around the moon, the lander and rover of Chandrayan-2 mission was not able to soft land on the surface of the moon. The lander which was called Vikram and the rover Pragyan while trying to land on the surface of the moon got crashed. This is what led to the failure of Chandrayan-2 mission. Following this, ISRO brought out a plan to implement the Chandrayan-3 mission. As ISRO was previously able to put the lunar orbiter around the moon, orbiter is not going to be part of the Chandrayan-3 mission. Only lander and rover are going to be a part of this particular mission. Now, let's see about the three main objectives of Chandrayan-3 mission. The first one is to demonstrate a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface. The second one is to demonstrate the rover's roving capabilities on the surface of the moon. And finally, Chandrayan-3 mission also plans to perform inside two scientific observations on the surface of the moon. All the payloads in the mission caters to fulfilling these three objectives only. Now, let us see some details about the mission. See, Chandrayan-3 consists of an indigenous lander module, propulsion module under rover. Now, let's see about all these three components of Chandrayan-3 mission one by one. First of all, let us see about the propulsion module. See, this module will carry the lander and rover configuration to about 100 km of lunar orbit. It contains the spectropholarimetry of habitable planet Earth payload. This is to study the spectral and polarimetric measurements of Earth from the lunar orbit. Secondly, there is this lander module. This lander will have the capability to soft land at a specific lunar site and deploy the rover. It has four payloads. We will see them one by one. Firstly, there is this Chandra surface thermo-physical experiment. It will measure the thermal conductivity and temperature of the moon. Secondly, it contains the instrument for lunar seismic activity. It will measure the seismicity around the specific landing site on the moon. Thirdly, it has Langmuir probe. It will estimate the plasma density and its variation. Finally, it also contains a passive laser retroreflector array. See, this particular payload is from NASA and it is accommodated for lunar-racer-ranging studies. These four are the payloads which the lander module of Chandrayan-3 is going to carry to the surface of the moon. Now, coming to the third component of Chandrayan-3, it is the rover part. See, the rover contains the alpha particle X-ray spectrometer and laser-induced breakdown spectroscope. These two payloads are for deriving the elemental composition in the vicinity of the landing site. In simpler words, it will carry out inside to chemical analysis of the lunar surface during the course of its mobility. This is all about the three different components of Chandrayan-3 mission. With this, we have come to the end of this short discussion. Through this discussion, we came to know about the three different components of Chandrayan-3 mission and also about the payloads which are present in it. With these learned points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. Have a look at this news article. According to the Union Health Minister, the number of Jannashu the Kendras stood at nearly 9,082 as of January 31st. See, these Kendras are nothing but stores selling cheap generic medicines. This is part of the Pradhan Mandiri Bharatiya Jannashu the Yojana scheme. Here note that the Union Government has set the target to reach 10,000 Kendras by December this year. This is the crux of the article given here. In this context, let's learn about the Pradhan Mandiri Bharatiya Jannashu the Yojana scheme. See, PMBJP is expanded as Pradhan Mandiri Bharatiya Jannashu the Pariyojana. The purpose of the scheme is to provide quality medicines at affordable prices to the masses. Under the scheme, Jannashu these stores are set up to provide generic drugs which are available at lesser prices. These drugs are equivalent in quality and efficacy as expensive branded drugs. Note that the scheme was initially launched by the Department of Pharmaceuticals in November 2008 under the name Jannashu the Campaign. Now let us see about the stores which provide generic medicines. See, under the scheme, detailed outlets known as Jannashu the Kendras are open to provide generic medicines at affordable prices. This only we saw in the news today. As of now, in India there are 9082 Jannashu the Kendras. The product baskets under this particular scheme includes 1759 drugs and 208 surgical items. See, the prices of these products are nearly 50-90% less than that of the prices of branded medicines. Here also note that medicines which are sold in these Kendras are procured only from WHO certified good manufacturing product certified suppliers. This is to ensure the quality of the products. Now what is the significance of this particular scheme? See, the scheme ensures access to quality medicines at low cost to all sections of the population especially the poor and deprived ones. Secondly, it reduces the out-of-pocket expenditure on medicines and thereby redefining the unit cost of treatment per person. Thirdly, it creates awareness about generic medicines through education and publicity. Because of this initiative, we can finally break the myth that quality is synonymous with only high price. Finally, it generates employment by engaging individual entrepreneurs in opening Jannashu the Kendras. With this, we have come to the end of this discussion. Through this discussion, we saw about the scheme called Pradhan Mandri Jannashu the Pariyojana. With all these points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. On February 24, 2023, a United Nations General Assembly resolution that condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine was brought up. And as always, India has abstained from voting on this resolution. See, India has constantly resisted criticizing Russia's invasion in the UN. With the rapidly evolving global geopolitics, India's foreign policy is constantly tested. The author of this article is of the opinion that, in these testing times, India must follow the policy of multi-engagement rather than the policy of multi-alignment. In addition to this, in this article, the author has also highlighted India's evolving foreign policy since its independence. Further, the article also presents the challenges that India is facing now and the changes that can be made to address these challenges are also discussed. Here, know that this article was originally published on May 31, 2022. But the points discussed by the author are very relevant even today. So, in our discussion today, we will try to learn the points mentioned in this text and context article. Before getting into the discussion, I have highlighted the relevant syllabus for this discussion. Just pause the video and go through it. First, let us briefly see about the changing global order since the end of World War II. Post World War II, the world became bipolar. There was the US on one side and USSR on the other. This phase is famously called as the Cold War era. Both the superpowers that are US and USSR had deep distrust for one another but they did not engage in any direct conflict. In 1991, a major transition happened. With the collapse of the USSR, the Cold War era came to an end. Post 1991, that is, post the collapse of USSR, the world has become majorly unipolar with the US being the only superpower. Both in the economic terms and military terms, there was no other country to challenge the hegemony of USA. The world has been unipolar since 1991. But currently, this is changing. There are various signs that show that the world is undergoing a transition. The USA's status as the only superpower is slowly eroding. The two major events that currently shows the declining clout of the USA is the USSR's withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan after 20 years of war and secondly, Russian invasion of Ukraine which is challenging the security equilibrium in Europe. In addition to these two major events, the rising economic might of China also shows that there is a major transition that is going to take place in the global order. This particular transition in the global order is making it difficult for foreign policy makers of middle powers like India. Here, what is meant by middle power? See, in international relations, a middle power is a country that is not a superpower but still has large influence on international recognition. India, Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Japan are famous examples of the term middle power. So, having gone through the changes seen in the global order since World War II, now we will discuss about India's foreign policy since its independence. When India got its independence, the world was in the Cold War era. India, fresh out of British rule, had a challenging task of framing its foreign policy in an ideologically divided world. So, India opted for a middle path and followed the principle of non-alignment. On the hindsight, many people are of the opinion that India, by being too idealistic and following the principles of non-alignment had lost more than it gained. But the author of this article is of the opinion that this view is too simplistic. He says that India has been more pragmatic than idealistic in its foreign policies since its independence. He gives out two events that highlights India's pragmatism during the early independence years. The first event is around the formation of the non-alignment movement. In the 1950s, when then Chinese Premier, Mr. Joe Enlai, proposed the creation of the Afro-Asian secretariat or former Prime Minister, Mr. Nehru, opposed it. Nehru was of the opinion that creation of Afro-Asian secretariat will create a third block in addition to the western and eastern blocks. He felt that it will lead to further chaos in the world order. But in the 1960s, after the formation of Cento and Ceto, India was pragmatic enough to supered the non-alignment movement. Here, Cento means the Central Treaty Organization and Ceto means the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization. The second incident is India's shift towards the USSR. India lived up to the true spirit of non-alignment movement till the 1970s. But in the 1970s, due to failing relations between China and the USSR, China started moving towards USA. This rightly prompted India to make a pragmatic move and shifted its attention towards the USSR. Here, you may know that though India tilted towards the USSR in the 1970s, it did not directly get into a military alliance with the USSR. This shows that India while being pragmatic did not give up its ideals. Both these incidents highlight the pragmatic and idealistic nature of Indian foreign policy during the times of the non-alignment movement itself. Post the collapse of USSR and India's 1991 LPG reforms, India started to re-align its foreign policy. India started to rework its relationship with the USA and started itself to integrate with the global economy. India continued to maintain close defence and strategic ties with Russia also. Having gone through India's evolving foreign policy, now let us see the challenges that India is presently facing. The first challenge is that in the present scenario, India cannot opt for non-alignment as it did in the 1960s. See, during the Cold War era, the main centre of conflict was in Europe. So, India had the choice of opting for non-alignment. But currently, with tensions between USA and China increasing, the main centre of conflict will be in Asia. So, India has to make a choice. This is the first major challenge that India is facing. The second major challenge is the tension between India and China. During the Cold War era, the superpowers were the USA and USSR. And India did not have any major conflict between both these superpowers. But in the present scenario, China is very close to USSR in both its military and economic might. So, with a pinch of salt, we can say that China is a superpower. Unlike the earlier days, India has many conflicts with the superpower which is China. The situation is further complicated by China's support to Pakistan. In addition to this, the power imbalance between India and China is widening day by day. All these factors will push India towards the USA and the West. This is the second major challenge discussed by the author. The third challenge is the complications caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. See, as you all know, Russia is a traditional and long-term ally of India. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has prompted the West to issue numerous sanctions against Russia. The US and its allies whose help India needs to counter China are asking India to take a stand which is against Russia. But India is of the opinion that isolating Russia right now will push it towards China. So, India is basically caught between a rock and a hard place. This is the third major challenge in India's foreign policy in the present scenario. Although, these are the challenges that India is currently facing, there are some solutions to address these challenges which the author discusses in this article. Now, let us see them one by one. The first solution is to learn from the Chinese experience. See, Soviet Union was China's ideological brother and neighbor during the Cold War era. But due to some difference of opinion with the Soviet Union, China started aligning itself with the US in the 1970s. But aligning itself with the US, China started to make rapid economic strides. With economic growth, China also started to augment its military might. Fast forward 50 years. Now, China is challenging the USA itself. Likewise, India must focus on transforming itself economically and militarily. Through this, India must first try to bridge the gap between India and China. Once India grows economically and militarily, it will slowly transform itself into a stabilizing power in the Indo-Pacific region which can counter the influence of China. Secondly, India must stay away from making any military alliance with the USA. The author is of the opinion that India must not align with the USA and the West to counter China. This is because, firstly, it will anger China under long-term ally which is Russia. Secondly, if India aligns with the USA, India will lose its strategic autonomy and cannot engage with countries like Iran. Lastly, India must follow the principle of multi-engagement with the Middle Countries. During the Cold War era, the world was bipolar. But currently, that is not the case. Even though we have the USA at the top and China in the second position, there are many middle powers which have huge influence on international recognition. So, the author states that India must not align with either China or the USA. And he further says that India must give up the policy of multi-alignment. Rather, India must engage with countries like Australia, Japan, Brazil, South Africa and South Korea for long-term peace and stability. This will also prevent India from getting sucked into any military bloc. This is all regarding this discussion. In this discussion, we saw about India's evolving foreign policy, the challenges faced by India in the sphere of foreign policy and the steps that can be taken to address these challenges. With these points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. Now, let's take this lead editorial article for our next discussion. See, the article talks about the revamped version of Adopt a Heritage Scheme. The author of this article analysed the scheme and identified some of the issues with it. He also suggests some of the measures that can be taken to improve the scheme. So, in this news article discussion, let us understand them one by one. Before that, the syllabus relevant to this particular discussion is highlighted here. Interested aspirants can pause the video and quickly go through it. Now, before understanding about the revamped scheme, first let us understand what is meant by Adopt a Heritage and who are Monmouth Mitras. See, Adopt a Heritage Scheme was an initiative of the Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Archaeological Survey of India. It was launched in September 2017 on World Tourism Day by our former President Ramnath Govind. Under the Adopt a Heritage Scheme, the government invites entities including public sector companies, private sector firms as well as individuals to develop selected monuments and heritage and tourist sites across India. Here, development of these tourist sites means for providing and maintaining both basic amenities and advanced amenities. Basic amenities include drinking water, ease of access for the differently-abled and senior citizens, cleanliness, public conveniences and elimination, etc. On the other hand, advanced amenities include the surveillance systems, night-weaving facilities, tourism facilitation centres, etc. Here, note that depending on tourist footfall and visibility, the monuments were separated into three categories. The three categories were green, blue and orange. Iconic sites like the Taj Magal, Kutup Minar and Red Fort were characterised as green while Puranakila and Jantar Mantar fell into the blue category. The Sanjeev Stupa is one of the popular sites in the orange category. Entities were encouraged to adopt from the blue and orange category RMXO3. Adoption of only green category is not allowed. You can see the conditions here. According to the scheme, sites and monuments can be adopted by private and public sector companies and individuals. People who adopt a monument were known as Monument Mitras. Monument Mitras are allowed to adopt the monument for an initial period of five years. The most competitive and innovative vision would be considered as the criteria for the successful bidding entity to choose the entity which is going to look after the monument. The Monument Mitras are selected by the oversight and vision committee co-chaired by the tourism secretary and the department of culture secretary. There is no financial bid involved. The corporate sector is expected to use the corporate social responsibility funds for the upkeep of the site. The Monument Mitras in turn will get limited visibility on the site premises and on the incredible India website. The oversight committee will also have the power to terminate a memorandum of understanding in case of non-compliance or non-performance. Under the scheme, the government has put a list of over 93 ASI monuments. But so far only 10 monuments have been adopted under this Adopter Heritage scheme. Since the scheme couldn't perform to its fullest potential, the government has now decided to revamp the scheme. This revamped scheme is only called as Monument Mitras scheme. Here, the government is now planning to conclude partnership with the public sector units, private or individuals for as much as 1000 monuments. The revamped version was launched on February 15th this year. The government has set up a target to sign a memorandum of understanding for 500 sites before August 15th. The MOU of remaining 500 sites will be signed shortly thereafter. The top government sources said that the newly revamped scheme will project India as a cultural superpower during the year-long presidency of the G20. But the issue here is the numbers. The target fixed by the new revamped scheme shows a tenfold increase in the number of sites previously brought under the Adopter Heritage scheme of 2017. And this is where the author also finds the issue. Now, let us see the issues one by one. Firstly, the scheme says that anyone can adopt a monument if they have competitive and innovative vision. In such cases, businesses will be more interested in using their CSR funds to select sites to construct and maintain ticket offices, restaurants, museums, interpretation centers, toilets and walkways. It will be done to market their own brands by occupying prime public land. Secondly, many monuments selected for the scheme already have tourist infrastructure. The author questions about the need for including these monuments into the new list of 1000 monuments. Another danger of implementing the revamped Adopter Heritage scheme is that it will undermine local communities and their relationship with historical sites. Take, for example, the guided tours led by employees of large businesses who have received permission to adopt a monument. They may endanger the livelihoods of those who have lived nearby and made a living by entertaining visitors with stories from these sites colorful past. Night tourism will also pull electricity away from rural home states and hospitals. These are some of the issues identified by the author in this particular Monument Mythra scheme. Now let us look at some of the solutions for this problem. Firstly, the author says that corporate India, instead of taking care of nation's built heritage, they can help citizens understand why monuments matter. This can be done by allocating CSR funds to grants for researching, writing and publishing high quality history textbooks. Corporates can also help in developing innovative and effective methods of teaching history to the new age population. Their CSR funds can also be used to purchase new equipments that can support the meaningful conservation of heritage buildings. With this, we have come to the end of this discussion. Through this discussion, we have seen about Adopter Heritage and Monument Mythra scheme. We further saw about the issues present in the revamped Monument Mythra scheme and also some of the solutions which were suggested by the author in the editorial. With these learned points in mind, now let us move on to the next part of our Hindu Daily News Analysis which is nothing but the prelims practice question discussion. Today I have taken five different questions for our discussion. Four will be discussed by me and one will be the quiz question for you. Now let us start with the first question. See, it is a two statement question and the question is regarding proton beam therapy. The question wants us to find the correct statements. Now coming to statement one. Proton beam therapy for the treatment of cancer has no side effects at all. See, the statement is incorrect. Even though proton beam therapy has far less side effects when compared to other radiation therapies, it does have certain side effects. They include fatigue, hair loss, skin redness, soreness, etc. So statement one is incorrect. Now coming to the second statement. Proton beam therapy cannot be used to treat cancers in crucial spaces like brain and spinal cord. See, the statement is incorrect. Proton therapy is mainly useful for treating tumors that are near the most important parts of our body. For instance, cancers near the brain can be treated using this particular therapy. So statement two is also incorrect. So the correct answer for this question is option D neither one nor two. Now moving on to the second question. This is also a two statement question and here also we have to find out the correct statement. The question is regarding states start a pranking 2021. Now coming to the first statement. The ranking is published by Nithya Yog. See, the statement is incorrect. State startup ranking is not published by Nithya Yog. It is published by Ministry of Commerce and Industry. See, this is being done to promote competition between states regarding startups. So statement one is incorrect. Now coming to the second statement. In the 2021 ranking, Gujarat and Karnataka appeared as the best performers in the states category. See, the statement is correct. These are the two states with a high number of startups in them. So statement two is correct. So the correct answer for this question is option B two only. Now moving to the third question. The question is regarding Janna Shadi Kendra. Two statements are given and we have to find the correct statement. Now coming to the first statement. Anyone can open a Janna Shadi Kendra under the Pradhan Mandri Bharatiya Janna Shadi Pariyojana scheme without any conditions. See, first part of the statement is correct. Anyone can open a Janna Shadi Kendra under the set scheme. But there is a condition which needs to be satisfied. The condition is that the applicant have to employ at least one B-pharma or D-pharma degree older as a pharmacist in the proposed store. So statement one is incorrect. Now coming to the second statement. Pradhan Mandri Bharatiya Janna Shadi Pariyojana is implemented by Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Bureau of India. See, this statement is correct. It is implemented by the set agency only. But note one important point. Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Bureau of India functions under the Bureau of Pharmaceuticals. You may first instance think that this department of pharmaceuticals will be functioning under the Ministry of Health. But that is not the case. It does not function under the Ministry of Health. But it functions under the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers. So statement two is correct. The correct answer for this question is option B-2 only. Now coming to the fourth and final question. Let me read out the question first. Windsor framework recently seen in news is related to which of the following. From a discussion itself we know that Windsor framework is a protocol to reduce the friction between Great Britain and Northern Ireland relating to trade. So the correct answer is option A. The quiz question is displayed here. Interested aspirants can post the correct answer in the comment section. The mains practice question is displayed here. Interested aspirants can write the answer and post it in the comment section. With this we have come to the end of our discussion.

Welcome to the Heritage Exchange video series hosted by Wikitree's US Black Heritage Project. Video number 3 – How to Create Profiles for Enslaved Ancestors In this video, you will learn the Heritage Exchange system for creating profiles for enslaved ancestors who have at least a known first name based on the documents you have available. Please see the video on documenting unnamed enslaved ancestors for what to do when you only have a list of slaves with only the age and gender known, such as on a slave schedule. Please note that most profiles for enslaved ancestors will have a great deal of placeholder information and the profiles will initially be used as workspaces to collect additional information. At the beginning, we will have more questions than answers in most cases, but as more information is found and verified, the placeholder information will be replaced with the more accurate and permanent information about the person. Here is what you must have available before you can create a profile for an enslaved ancestor. A source, naming the enslaved ancestor. The ancestor should be named by at least first name in this source. And finally, you will need either a date or approximate date of the source or the age or approximate age of the ancestor. Today we are going to go back to the profile for slave owner Daniel English from the previous video and create profiles for the six slaves listed by first name in his will. Here are the six people who were named in the 1853 will for Daniel English. Today I'm going to create a profile for Hampton first because I have some unique information about him. For step-by-step directions on how to create profiles on WikiTree, please see the video called How to Create Profiles. In a new tab, I will go to the Add plus section of the menu and choose New Person in the dropdown. This will give me the new person creation form. Because all I know for certain is Hampton's first name and that he was a boy, all the other information I would need to create his profile today is going to be estimated. I'll type his first name in the first name field and although it was spelled H-A-M-T-O-N on the will, on another page his name was listed as Hamp. So I'm going to assume it should be spelled as H-A-M-P-T-O-N. For the last name I am going to use the placeholder English from his only known slave owner at the time. This is only until a documented last name can be found or until we can connect Hampton to his descendants and discover the last name they chose to use following emancipation. If you have not read the WikiTree naming conventions for slaves help page, please do so before you create any profiles for enslaved ancestors. It is very important that you understand the system of using a useful placeholder last name at birth and when to change the last name and what to change it to when more information becomes available. I don't have an exact age for Hampton, but the will states he is a boy. Because he's valued so highly at $1,000, I doubt he's a young boy. He's more likely a teenager, maybe about 15 or 16 years old. Normally we would use the date of the document for the birth date which in this case is 13 December 1853. This was the date the will was written although it didn't go into probate until 1863. That means what we know about Hampton was written on this December 13, 1853 date. In most cases, I would just use this exact date of the document and mark it as before. However, because I can estimate he was a teenager I'm going to go ahead and subtract 15 years from the year and use an estimated date of 1838. The best time to use estimated dates like I just did with Hampton is when you have a known parent-child relationship. In this case, please subtract a reasonable amount of adult years from the date of the document for the parent. However, please don't spend too much time on trying to estimate dates like this. If it is easier you can always just use the exact date of the document you're using and mark it as before that date. The Heritage Exchange team will check the profile to see if any dates need to be adjusted. Please always leave the death date field blank unless you have a documented date of death. I'm going to mark him as male and certain. Again, I don't know for certain where Hampton was born but I'm going to estimate South Carolina which is the location of the will and slave schedule. Please always put an estimated location in the birth location field to help prevent duplicates. Finally, I'm going to put a source in the source box which is required. I'm going to go to Daniel's profile and simply copy the source that I put on his profile and paste it here. Now click the Add New Person button. Now we need to edit the profile to add a few additional items. Click the Edit tab. Click Uncertain for the birth location. We already have the date clicked as before. Then scroll down to the category picker which is this button that looks like stairs. And I'm going to put in the top level Heritage Exchange category. Simply type in Heritage Exchange and you'll see it's the very first one at the top. Click on it and it will place it directly where it goes in the biography. This category will signal to the US Black Heritage Project's Heritage Exchange team that a new profile has been created and it needs to be checked for any additional categories and proper formatting. The second category that needs to be added is the slaves by county category. Because I know that Hampton was enslaved in Abbaville County, South Carolina, I will type that into the category picker and add the word slaves. I see it already popped up in this case so I can click on it and it will go exactly where it should be in the profile. Next I'm going to add a template above the biography heading that tells people we are currently using a temporary placeholder last name. In most cases it will be the last name of the known slave owner. The code for this template is S-L-A-V-E space L-N-A-V in double curly brackets. When you click on the preview button you will see the banner at the top that tells people this is a placeholder last name until a surname can be determined and we ask people not to merge or change the last name without talking to the US Black Heritage Project first. Once a documented last name has been found or Hampton has been connected to his descendants and we know the last name that they chose to use after emancipation, then this template can be removed. Please do not use this template on profiles for people who are enslaved that you have a documented last name for. For instance if you find Hampton listed in the 1870 and 18 census with the last name of Mills, his last name at birth would be Mills. This was the last name he chose to go by. Do not wait for a document during the time of enslavement to confirm a last name at birth. This kind of documentation rarely exists. Again please see the help page called Naming Conventions for Slaves for more information. Next Hampton should have the African American sticker. It needs to be typed exactly like that and if I click the preview you will see that the sticker has been properly added. I'll next update the automatically written biography to be more accurate. Right now it just says Hampton was born before 1838. I have added that we have estimated that Hampton was born before 1838 which is 15 years before the will of his slave owner Daniel English. I'm also going to add that in that will, I'm going to put in that will dated 13 December 1853 he was valued at $1,000. Again this information about their value could be helpful to tell us more about Hampton's life. I will also add that his birth location has been estimated. Try to put as much information as you know about Hampton and what information you have estimated in the biography so other researchers will know. Next I'm going to add a couple spaces and create a slave owner's heading. This is a sub heading so it should have three equal signs. This section is important for two reasons. One it will link Hampton to Daniel English and others that were enslaved by Daniel English. Those other people could very well be Hampton's relatives. Second it was very common for slaves to be sold or inherited more than once during their lifetime. Each time they were moved to another location was an opportunity to be in contact with additional people who may also be relatives. It's important to link Hampton to all of them. If there are other people who may have featured in Hampton's life such as a plantation overseer or someone who rented his labor you could also list and link those people here. I will first add a wiki link to the profile for Daniel English. I can do that by going to his profile and choosing the copy wiki link button and pasting it here. I'm going to choose to use an asterisk so I'll have a bullet point. If you recall from the previous video on how to create a slave owner profile I found an interesting note about Hampton on page 60 of the probate file. It stated that Hampton had been hired by James Callison for the sum of $110 in 1859. Since he was enslaved Hampton was not actually hired but rented by James Callison from Daniel English. Daniel English would be the one who received the payment. I did a little bit of research to find out if I could discover who James Callison was and I did find that information and I created a profile for him. I can now add him to the section of slave owners and even though he didn't actually own Hampton he had Hampton in his possession for a time. So I'm going to click paste and then I'm going to add a note that he rented Hampton from Daniel English in 1859. I'm also going to update the source that I added because I originally said C page 58 and we know that Hampton is also listed on page 60. So I'm going to add a note about that. I'm going to click save on that and next I'm going to go to James Callison's profile. James Callison was born in 1830 in Ireland. Because we're going to treat this the same as a slave owner profile I'm going to create the slaves heading and I'm going to link the profile for Hampton with a note that he rented Hampton. I'm also going to go to Daniel English's profile and I'm going to grab that probate source, copy and paste that down at the bottom. Except I'm going to change this to C page 60 because that is the page that mentions James Callison renting Hampton for $110. Again because we are treating James Callison in a similar manner as a slave owner we need to add the county category for slave owners. Interestingly although Hampton was a slave in Abbaville County James Callison lived in Edgefield County so that's going to be the category I'm going to add. And there it pops up for me so I just click on that and it automatically adds it to the profile. Now we have everything that we need. We've got the county category. We have the linked profile for Hampton with a note regarding the rental relationship and we have the source down at the bottom that proves that we know this information. So I'm going to click some things that says what I did to this profile and click save. Now because we just discovered that Hampton was also in an enslavement relationship in Edgefield County as well as Abbaville County we need to go back to Hampton's profile. And we're going to add a second category. This one for Edgefield County. Click that. It puts it right there in the profile. And we're going to click categorization and save. It's important to make sure we have a category for every county that the slave owner or the people who were enslaved lived or worked in. It's very common for people who were enslaved to be passed on from one person to another which could mean they moved to another state or another county. And we want to make sure to record every single one of those instances and every single one of those slavery relationships. Before finishing there's one very important step that I need to take. I have linked Daniel English and James Callison on the profile for Hampton English but I need to link in the opposite direction. So I'm going to click on the Wiki ID link button for Hampton English. And I'm first going to go to Daniel's profile. And I'm going to replace the name here for Hampton with the Wiki link for his profile. Do not put the placeholder last name in the name here because he wasn't listed with the last name English on the document. Only use the first name. In fact I'm going to spell it exactly as it was in the will. And when you click the preview button you will see we now have Hampton linked to his profile. I'll put in a change explanation and click save. One final item, let's look at the category that we added to Hampton's profile which was the Abbaville County, South Carolina slaves category. When we click on this you will see we have now grouped Hampton with all the other people who were also enslaved in Abbaville County, South Carolina. This could be helpful because Hampton may be related to some of these people. Now Hampton's basic profile is complete and he is ready for additional information to be added as soon as it's discovered. The goal of the U.S. Black Heritage Heritage Exchange Program is to connect Hampton to his descendants so that will be the next step. Thank you so much for helping connect enslaved ancestors to their descendants by creating their profiles from documents. These don't have to be documents from only your own ancestors. You can help the Heritage Exchange Program by creating profiles from any documents you come across.


Hi everyone and welcome back to UCAT Festival TV with me Colm Cronin and I am absolutely delighted to be joined today by Dr Peter Hagen. Peter how are you sir? Well I'm delighted as well thank you Colm. Now I know that you are a resident in New Jersey I believe and ordinarily of course you would be in the UK recovering from jet lag but it's all a little bit different this year with a virtual conference. Yes it certainly is. Coming to you live on Zoom. Too bad about April I wanted to see the United Kingdom but oh well. Well hopefully we can get you back over to the UK and Ireland at some point in the not too distant future but nonetheless UCAT have managed to put a great festival line up in the week ahead and as part of that you are the delivering the opening keynote which I'm looking forward to and can you tell me and I suppose viewers what is it that you're going to touch what do we have to look forward to? Well first of all thank you're lucky stars this didn't have been enabled because I had a very boring talk planned for that so this change in venue has given me the chance to sort of reinvent things so what I'm planning to talk about is very much along the lines of what I've written about in the past and it's going to be about narrative theory in academic advising personal tutoring. So this address is probably not going to make people feel warm and fuzzy you know I think I'm going to be making people uncomfortable in good ways in good ways because I'm going to be promoting some ideas that I wish to work on going forward into the future. I think that the time is right for what I'm calling the narrative paradigm in academic advising personal tutoring. For so long we have been dominated by ideas that were prominent in the west since the enlightenment and probably even farther back from Aristotle and his cronies. I think it's time to have a new way of looking at both the research in academic advising which I've mainly concentrated on but also the practice of academic advising from a narrative paradigm. So I'm going to be offering some principles that I think have to be part of such a narrative paradigm in academic advising and personal tutoring and so I'm hoping that people in the audience will sort of listen hard and push back because I'm testing these ideas out on the unsuspecting United Kingdom public. Well I think that we're going to be lucky that to get the opportunity to you know be the audience in which you talk about this. It's certainly wedded my appetite and you know we'll be speaking to an audience of people from around the world but I think both the UK and Ireland we do love our narrative, our storytelling. So I am certainly looking forward to it. I want to thank you Peter for joining me today. I look forward to the entirety of the week ahead and for anyone watching if you are interested in finding out about what is coming up of course you can check the UCAT website and also you can check out UCAT's various social media channels if you're watching this on YouTube we're on Facebook and Twitter and vice versa. So once again thank you very much Peter and enjoy the week ahead. Thank you Colin. You as well. Thank you.


What is going on everybody is Stas here welcome back to another video so in today's video just like every single day We're going to be doing an overall market update taking a look at the Dow Jones the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq We're going to be talking about and I'm going to be analyzing with you guys What I personally did today with my trades on the 15th of July in 2019 as well as taking a look at some other stocks and ETFs that I'm personally watching and looking to trade right now in The stock market so if you enjoy this video drop a like if you enjoy this type of content Consider subscribing to the channel, and let's just get right into it guys So the market actually closed 12 minutes ago, so we can see the S&P closed yet again above $3,000 it was up 53 cents so not much of a move at all It was up 0.02 percent at the close the Dow Jones industrial average Which did very well on Friday and over the past couple of days here didn't do much either right it ended up closing up $27.13 up 0.1 percent the Nasdaq here up $24.50 this one did do Decent today, I guess you guys can say 0.3 percent is a pretty decent day considering You know all the other days that we've been having being like, you know 1% 1.5 percent days I guess you can say since those are spectacular days 0.3 percent is pretty decent right and you guys can see we hit a high today at about 7992 and if we go back to the 180 4-hour chart very quickly you can see that that is an all-time high so despite the market being a Bit flat today not much movement across the S&P and the Dow The Nasdaq was able to hit an all-time high today $8 shy of that milestone being $8,000 and drop a comment down below Do you guys think we're going to get to $8,000 tomorrow? Let me know. I personally think there is a very good chance We do get there so hopping back over to the S&P. Let's break down some technicals Very very quickly. So since we did move barely today, you know The technicals are kind of similar to what I talked about in yesterday's video in the beginning of the video But now we saw another day of data since even though it was um You know not much of a move. We got the consolidation, which is a good Factor here that we want to take into account. So even though again, we didn't really do much We got the consolidation here on the five-day five-minute that we are holding above the 180 S&P here and also above a Resistance from yesterday's trading session or rather on Friday's trading session, right? You guys can see 3005 well first of all the first um support that we need to hold above is $3,000 right notice how this was a resistance on the 10th of July through the 11th of July You guys can clearly see that we broke above it. We gapped above it that one day I know you guys remember that and we ended up holding that level as a new support and from now on We need to hold that level if this uptrend is going to you know stay intact, right? So we have that level, you know, we have 3005 we have 3006 so this general area, you know the old resistances We're holding them as new supports right now, which is a very good sign in the S&P 500 even though It didn't really do much today. We got that consolidation. We got that hold of the support You know from previous resistances, which is very key here So going here to the 20 day one hour you guys can see you know, we're still in the uptrend very very clear You know we broke out of that wedge that we were talking about in yesterday's or rather You know this past week's video and in yesterday's video and you know We gapped up and from there the markets have been doing quite well, right in particular the S&P 500 going back out to the 184-hour chart you can see our side it is a bit overbought at this point So if we were to pull back, you know in the S&P I wouldn't be crazily surprised and if we pulled back again going back to what I said a Couple of seconds ago about the 3000 and 3000 and five level, you know I would expect the S&P to hold that level as a support and then continue the rally from there If we continue the rally from there and let's say, you know, we break on the 20 day one hour chart If it'll be bad news in my opinion, you know, if we break this 50 SMA at least on a shorter term Technical perspective here because that has been a support over the past couple of weeks as you guys can clearly see So if we pull back that'll bring the R side down a bit on the 184-hour chart Maybe that'll make it a bit more attractive to hop into some of these market ETFs in particular. I trade this one What is it SPXS? No, it's SPXL guys I always get those two confused for some reason but SPXL is an ETF that goes up whenever the S&P 500 is going up, right and you guys can see this is a bit overbought if we get that pullback If the S&P pulls back we'll get the pullback here that would open up an interesting entry point So that's the analysis on the S&P hopping over here to the DAO and then the NASDAQ we have to do it in the right order guys I always do S&P DAO NASDAQ and for some reason I'm weird I just stick to the same order and it's weird if I you know do them differently I don't know if you guys understand but you know from my perspective, but anyway 27,000 364 is that all-time high and do we actually hit that today? I think we did hit an all-time high today I said before we did it in the DAO but we did hit one today in the DAO Jones as well and a lot of the same with the S&P Right, it's pretty much a consolidation here for the DAO Jones industrial average, right 20 day one hour You guys can see the uptrend is intact We're a bit overbought in terms of the RSI going back to the 184-hour chart You know we are very overbought as well So at this point, you know if the DAO were to pull back, right? You know, we're obviously at all-time high levels We're above you know all previous resistances at this point since we're at all-time highs right when you're at all-time highs and There's nothing really above in terms of price action price data, you know, there's not much resistance There really is no resistance at that point. So at this point, you know We need to see some sort of a pullback maybe a retest at about 27,000 flat That's what I would look at. That's an old resistance new support at that point. We might be at the 50 SMA This is also a level of support. I'm looking at here on the 20 day one hour So these are just a couple of things I'm watching right because as long as this keeps going up day after day after day What that tells us is there is going to be a pullback eventually because the pullbacks They always come it's just really seeing when they come you can't time it perfectly really ever You know sometimes you can you know a lot of the times you can sometimes you can't but you know when they happen you see The analysis and then you understand what could potentially happen next time, right? So that's the DAO, you know NASDAQ if we go to the NASDAQ very quickly a $27 red day or rather green day today not red day Stas. What are you saying up? 0.34% you guys again we hit that all-time high and very similar to the S&P and the DAO We're at all-time highs. There's really no resistances above us So now we have to see are we going to continue making all-time highs or are we going to pull back and potentially test some old Supports or rather old resistances as new supports, right? So at this point you guys can clearly see on the longer-term chart even if we go to the one-year one-day chart very quickly You'll be able to clearly see a level of resistance that were previous all-time highs levels of resistance that were previous all-time highs Being at $7,700. That's one you guys can see that back in August to about October of 2018 The second one is at about 79 ish hundred that we recently just broke out of because we've been making All-time highs day in and day out pretty much, right? So that's the level we want to see hold for the NASDAQ in the event of a pullback at this point Right if we go back to the 184 hour chart you can see we're a bit overbought not extremely overbought like the S&P and the DAO Where I believe on these time frames. Let me just double check that right the S&P is a bit more overbought You guys can see that and the DAO Jones so in terms of the 184 hour the NASDAQ's not as overbought But then we go to this 20-day one hour you can see you know It's in need of a little bit of a pullback maybe down to about 79 60 But still it's not as crazily overbought as the DAO and the S&P which actually you know It's kind of interesting to me right because typically you know when we go on these rallies the NASDAQ is Not always but sometimes I've realized over the past couple of months The NASDAQ is the one that runs you know to the most overbought side because it runs typically more You know then the S&P and the DAO but that's just a little insight so that's the market update for today's video guys Let me know down below in the comment section. What did you think about the market today kind of flat? I know you know, what are your opinions on that? What do you think the market's going to do in these next couple of days next couple of weeks? What stocks are you watching? Let me know so you guys saw in the title You know is this particular stock going to rebound and this particular stock I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen it in the news is Johnson and Johnson And if you're not really familiar with what has happened, you know with Johnson and Johnson I do have a couple of notes here that I want to talk about you know very briefly in under 60 seconds So Johnson and Johnson for those of you guys that don't know they are currently under a criminal investigation for allegedly Concealing cancer risks of baby powder in one of their products So investigation is being done to determine whether or not Johnson and Johnson lied to the public about the baby powder cancer risks There are also several civil lawsuits against Johnson and Johnson from customers claiming their talcum baby powder Has caused ovarian cancer, which is a very very, you know serious claim And if that is true that is very very bad, you know, that's very sad for the people You know that are suffering from this and from a business perspective, you know, that's very bad for Johnson and Johnson So that's very very bad situation, right? So Johnson and Johnson very interestingly You know, you can see these big big companies. They get sued a lot Johnson and Johnson has been sued more than 13,000 times for failing to inform customers that it's talcum powder Contained asbestos, which is actually what caused the stock to drop, you know a couple months back I'm sure a lot of you guys remember 150 we can see we were nearly at 150 and we dropped all the way to a hundred and twenty one Dollars so, you know, this is something huge. It seems like, you know Whenever these serious claims come out against Johnson and Johnson the stock always tanks again We saw this serious claim back in a couple of months ago It dropped like this right and then we ended up recovering as people started to forget about it as the news Started to fade away. We started recovering. So we got the instant drop right now This is kind of why I'm analyzing Johnson and Johnson, you know, we have that negative news But I'm thinking, you know, if this negative news Maybe blows over not that it's going to completely fade away because obviously there's there's lawsuits going on But in terms of the media perspective if there's not as much coverage on this lawsuit on this, you know Criminal investigation in the next couple of days, maybe next couple of weeks Maybe things start to cool off, you know This could be an entry point in Johnson and Johnson that could be very interesting right a hundred and thirty four dollars up to 145 previous highs that's about a seven percent and I'm looking at this as a potential Swing trade guys because again, we've seen these things happen in the past, right? We've seen negative events and the stock has rebounded as the news started to fade away again It didn't fade away completely. It didn't go away But as the tensions from that initial media release started to you know fade away a little bit, you know The stock started to recover. So I'm thinking that could potentially happen here And you guys can see if I actually just quickly erase all of these drawings clear drawing set Yes, you guys can see if I draw one little trend line here You can see at this point where we're seeing some consolidation on John on Johnson and Johnson Happens to be you know on the pattern that I just drew out for you guys And it's actually a higher low from the previous so if it were to pop here This would be honestly just a continuation of the uptrend for Johnson and Johnson from its initial drop a couple of months ago Due to the asbestos situation here. So guys, this is very very attractive But let's say it breaks like that. That's a different story I'll reanalyze it at that point that in my opinion would be pretty bad and another thing about Johnson And Johnson they are reporting earnings tomorrow. So this can heavily fluctuate the stock and Really at that point when I see what the stock does how it reacts I'll obviously update you guys, you know with with the technical analysis But I think you know that could break it off this trend that could pop it up, right? So I'm actually waiting until after earnings to potentially take a position here in Johnson and Johnson That's how I personally, you know view things here. I don't like gambling on earnings plays I like hopping in after earnings. I like seeing guidance. I like seeing what the earnings were how the stocks reacting stuff like that So this is a very interesting play here guys again about 7% if it pops here, you know, that could be a really really strong move So Johnson and Johnson, let me know down below in the comment section. What do you guys think about this one? So, you know, let's do a trading update now You know now that I got the you know That the pretty much the premise of this video being Johnson and Johnson, you know out of the way Let's talk about a trading update what I did today So if you guys follow me on Instagram I actually called out you guys today UGAZ literally right before it ended up going on its rally And if you guys remembered Yesterday and yesterday's video on Sunday. I talked about the 1750 level on you guess So let's hop here to the 20-day one hour very quickly you guys can see what I'm talking about So 1730 here. This was a level roughly 1730 1750 that you guys can see, you know Once we were able to break out of the moving average resistances here We were able to hold that level as a new support that old resistance as a new support And we actually had the confirmation from the 9th of July you guys can see we actually pulled back and retested it there and Popped to our high of about $20 and today we got that pullback and we got the retest at 1730 1750 that range where I was looking to see whether or not you guys was going to pop above there and Potentially be in play be a good move at that point And if we go to the five-day five minute you guys can see we went on a rally on you guys literally once we hit 1750 and if we go to natural gas which is what you guys trades based upon whenever natural gas is going up in price You guys is going up in price. You guys can see you know right around that time period You know natural gas hit a lower low. You can see it's been down trending over the past You know a couple of days here really since the 12th you guys can see from Friday up until now We down trended over the weekend pretty much So you guys can see we hit a lower low and typically when a stock's getting beaten down beaten down beaten down You know, you can't really find the bottom obviously, but when you start to see Consolidation and then a spike upwards. You're you're telling yourself you're thinking to yourself Okay, this could be the bottom since we hit a lower low You know the next pattern would be to start to pop back up and retest all the resistances You know, you see that bottom in the pop, you know, that's the thought that's coming to your head And that's what I was thinking at this point So we started to get that pop and we see you know on the five-day five minute the 180 SMA resistance is The resistance that we got hit at This morning literally at 9 a.m. You guys can see 244 lower low popped up We didn't break out which would have been extremely bullish. We started to get rejected But this is actually after the trade has been done in terms of you guys, right? So we hit the low 238 very oversold on the RSI. We started to pop up And if we go to the one day one minute, you guys can see it even better, right? We started to pop up No, here it is guys 238 we started to pop up and then we broke out of the 180 SMA We hold that level we held that level as a new support at 239 and we started to break out This is at about 1 30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time We started to break out and I entered into that position guys, which is you guys, right? And if we take a look at you guys, you know, it was a very quick move And I just happen to be you know on my computer doing analysis again for those of you that follow me on Instagram You saw the call out, right? So You know ended up hopping in I think it was at about like 17 75 initially We got the pop pullback didn't do anything because we held the 50 SMA was being patient at that point And then we started to fly up again and then once we broke that resistance at 18 dollars We hit the high at about 18 13, you know, I saw the big pump ended up hitting You know and selling out rather at about 18 dollars and 10 cents So you guys can see, you know from this initial pop here at about like 17 80 You know 17 85 up to about 18 10 that was about a 1.3 1.4 Profit and you guys know I'm happy with really anything above 1 that's very very good in my books and 1.3 percent I locked it in was very very happy and didn't really do much before that guys to be completely honest because again This morning was kind of a slow morning Honestly, I was watching the s&p this morning actually to see if we were going to sell off from this initial dump I was watching spx s which actually is this the one that sells off Yes, it does no no no spx was selling off the s&p was selling off And then this one was going up, right? I was watching to see this this one could have been a potential breakout If we did sell off today, we didn't get the sell off and that didn't ended up playing out So I kind of scrapped trading for this morning ended up popping back on and then made that trade that I just talked to you guys about so a couple that I'm watching tomorrow We talked about Johnson and Johnson You know you guys is obviously one that I'm watching tomorrow again Because we saw the weak close that it did have maybe a retest 1750 if natural gas finds a support Maybe at around 240 ish. That's what I'm thinking if we go back to natural gas You guys can see we're roughly at that level You know if we find a support here and continue to pop up, you know, maybe we start a bull rally here You know you guys could be a very very good play. I'm watching The list is here guys. What are the other ones? I'm watching amazon amazon is one that I was talking to A couple of people today about on my instagram and by the way, if you guys don't follow me on instagram The first link is down below in the description. My username is literally stasksurfest So go follow me on instagram, but we were talking about amazon today because amazon You know was looking pretty interesting at $2,000 and honestly it's looking interesting headed into the close today So if you go in a bit closer on amazon, you know 20 day one hour You guys can see the 2000 level was a support from the 12th of july You guys can see we successfully held that support today at $2,000 as you can see on the one day one minute We had a strong consolidation Literally a triple bottom before we reversed out of the 180s to may resistance here So we were talking on instagram and a bunch of people on discord were talking about it because amazon has honestly been one Of the hottest stocks, you know in the market right now. We're right at the all-time highs It's exciting whenever a stock is running like this and everyone's talking about it And again, I was talking about on instagram and discord, you know, it was really interesting and we were seeing and talking about You know, are we going to hold and run and continue on this rally? And since we broke out, you know, this seems like it's continuing and it closed very strongly Ideally, I would have liked to see it close above 2022 We closed and actually got rejected at 2022 and close at about 2020 That is you know, not the not the not a bad sign really But that just means we have to gap up tomorrow and get out of 2022 Which is that resistance, right ideally again, if we ran up here to 2026 and then pulled back and closed at 2023 That would have been better in my opinion But that didn't ended up happening But either way it did close very nicely on a nice little run here So if we're going to the 10 day 30, you can see 2030 ultimately that is the resistance We need to break out of and from there the all-time high you guys probably know this is at 2050 Which at this point it happened um out of the 184 hour chart We have to go to the one year chart and you guys can see 2050 on the fourth, I believe of september based off what i'm seeing here. So amazon i'm watching that one very closely Crude oil did an interesting move today. It actually broke 60 dollars that resistance We were talking about it was actually a new support up until today and then we got that dip into Back into rather that 50 level that 59 level and you guys can see exactly what i'm talking about right this trend looks Very bearish you can see we hit the 61 level that was a clear, you know level of resistance It was a weak spot, you know clearly crude oil was running up for many many days It needed a cool off period So, you know, we started to get moving averages 50 sma breaking below the 180 sma this green line breaking below The yellow line which is a very bearish move and we've just made lower lows and lower high since then and we broke slowly that 60 level of support And we took the huge dump the huge leap today So dwt which actually trades on crude oil is breaking out So this one if crude oil ends up filling the gap down to i believe $57 and if we see to the 184 hour we can see if we filled down to 57 here guys Which is the next support rather actually the 50 sma is at about 58 50 So that could be a spot we potentially hold but especially if we break the 50 sma 57 50 57 75 as a spot I'm looking for crude oil to hold and if we do get that sell off guys dwt that goes up Whenever crude oil is selling off and you guys can see it's breaking down right now or rather breaking out right now This is going to be a very very good play So those are just a couple that i'm watching here guys. Um, you know, I'm really liking dwt I'm really liking j and j especially if this you know news blows over Let me know what you guys think about that So I hope you all enjoyed this video if you did feel free to go down below and hit that like button Feel free to comment whatever you guys think whatever's on your mind stocks anything You know drop a comment Let me know and also if you haven't yet subscribed hit that subscribe button Hit that notification bell so you're notified every single time that I do make a video I appreciate all you guys watching really really do Peace out.
