I really wanna get today's self-practice in. You might notice my energy's a little bit down and that's because I really wanna be in bed right now. This is the part where we're just tired, right? December 16th, late in the month and in the day, night. It's very late. I'm going to see what's behind door number 16. A perfect Christmas pairing. It was a scene where he's choosing a coffee and I just thought the barista was such a fun role. What are we gonna do? We're gonna put a timer. But this scene is very, very short so I'm gonna put a five minute timer and we're gonna get this thing ready in five minutes. And I wanna play it. This is a barista that doesn't take their job too seriously but they wanna give good customer service to give them a little bit more of high stakes. I'm gonna say that they live in New York City. The barista lives in New York City and you never know who you're gonna meet, who's gonna be able to help you in your career. They're in that stage of life where they're just so open to opportunity and they're ready for it. They're like, yes, let's get this next year. Like it's gonna be the best year of my life kind of thing which I'm not there. Now I feel like would be a good time to just quickly talk about my goals for 2024. Wow, I'm just like so delusional right now that I just wanna talk about it for two seconds. I don't have any goals for 2024 because I'm so tired of having goals, making a vision board and it just not coming true. The goals that I have been trying to set for myself and that I've been working for are just not happening. So how about in 2024, we have no goals. We just work hard and let's see what happens, that's it. Well, now that I ate up a couple of minutes, let me actually start working on it. Is this chocolate coming right up? Okay, this is the only thing I have to write on, a bedazzled cup. So this is gonna be my drink that I write on. Can I have a name? My time's up. Okay, I'm gonna need a minute. I have some bad news. It's the middle of the night so I don't have a reader. So now I need to go record the lines of the other characters so that I can react to some lines. Okay, I really need to come on. Okay, I'm starting to feel a little bit more awake, more sane and I'm realizing I don't even need a cup because it can just be off camera because I have multiple orders I'm taking. So that's fine. So let's do a take. I'm going to do the take that I said I was. Okay, can I get a name please? Take two. That one's cute, but how can I make it better? Let's flirt a little bit with the person that's ordering with Asher. Staphobic coming right up. Why did I wink? I never wink. I think we're getting there. I like the flirty one better than the backstory that I had before. Let's do annoyed for fun. Let's just do I'm so annoyed. Name please. Asher. Asher, absolutely. Also by the way, if this is the first time watching what I'm doing, this is an advent calendar full of scenes and monologues from Christmas movies and TV shows that are Christmas themed. And what I'm doing is setting a quick timer. Today I did five minutes. Usually I do 15 minutes to prepare the scene. And then I do a few takes and I apologize for how like sleepy I was early in the video, but I'm feeling so much better now. I do want this person to be annoyed, but I need to be a little bit quicker paced because I don't want this scene to just be so slow. That's something that I've noticed during self-taping this month is that I am trying to fill up the spaces too much and also making the spaces longer because I want to react to it. So I just need to keep it faster because although I do wanna be authentic in how I feel, I also wanna keep the pace going so my acting isn't boring. So let's do I'm so over my job. I just want this person to go. They come in here all the time. Like, why don't they just know the menu and know what they wanna order already? And why are they ordering so many drinks? They always come in by themselves. Time's yet long. I lost track of how many takes I did, but I am having fun. I think that's four. Take three or four. Let's do it like that. I'm very annoyed.   It's just these customers and then you get to go home. Okay. Complicated. You wanna, okay, this is the last one. I have to make this the last one. I don't know if I'm gonna keep this in, but I'm gonna play this as if I really need to fart, like a big, big fart. I'm holding in a huge fart because the coffee shop is small. The client's gonna hear me. My coworkers making coffee behind me, even though they're making noises, they're gonna hear me because it's a big one. Thank you. Okay, I'm losing it. That's it. I'm gonna show you maybe one or two takes. Let's see if any of them came out. Okay. I'll show them to you. I'll see you tomorrow, hopefully. Can I get a name please? Asher. Asher. Absolutely. Can I get one Latate? One peppermint hot cocoa and what's your most taste? Complicated drink? Oh, you want something with multiple flavors going on. Something that when you take a sip, you're like, is this chocolate? Is this salted caramel? Wait, is this even a drink? What was I doing before I had this? Exactly. Okay. One Mrs. claustrophobic coming right up. Name please? Asher. Asher. Absolutely. Can I get one Latate? One peppermint hot cocoa and what's your most taste? Complicated drink? Oh, you want a drink with multiple flavors going on. Like when you take a sip, you're like, is this chocolate? Is it salted caramel? Wait, is this even a drink? What was I doing before I had this kind of drink? Exactly. Okay. One Mrs. claustrophobic coming right up. Thank you.

This is the nominations for president of the council. There's a motion. Second. Second. Under discussion. Not all those in favor state aye. Aye. Any oppose? Motion carries. At this point I'd ask for nominations for the president of the Common Council, Alderman Cigali. I'd like to nominate Dan Burr for the president of the Common Council. Second.

The plan commissioner, I believe she would listen to all sides of the issue at hand. She's not afraid to speak your opinion, nor is she afraid to ask questions before making any decisions regarding new business, signage, development, and the like. I got to know Bonnie more than a year ago while she was making her run for Alderman. She sat quietly in the gallery every meeting when she took her papers off her nomination and took notes, lots of notes. Then she went door to door as when I formed the issues on hand. She was elected as Alderperson for her effort and I feel she'd serve well and it's the council representative on the plan commission. And I hope this council will agree by casting her vote for Bonnie as the plan commissioner. There's a motion to nominate Alderman Serdas. Is there a second? Is there a second? Are there any other nominations? Alderman Grau? There are no other nominations. I moved into nominations to be closed. There's a second. Motion to second, close nominations. Any discussion?

Okay. Do you want them read Alderman Berge? No. I'll pick a wild guess. I'll bet you do. No, you were backwards, but that's all right. Yeah. For the position on the city plan commission, Montemayor, seven votes, third to six, Alderman Montemayor. Congratulations, Alderman Montemayor.

At this time I'd like to report that the chairman of the Committee of the Whole for the 2005, 2006 council year is Alderman Marilyn Montemire. Congratulations, Alderman Montemire. And I would ask that the president of the council, Alderman Graf, please address. The council. Yep, we'll get that on. I'll have to pardon the voice. I'll try and speak as loud as I can. And that's why mine isn't 10 pages like Alderman Baumann's was last night's. Good evening to our television audience, relatives and friends in the council chambers, department heads, the older persons, my wife Yolanda, the city clerk Sue Richards, city attorney, Steve McLean, and Mayor Juan Perez. Thank you to all the older persons for having the faith and trust in me to elect me to the position of president of the 2005, 2006 common council of the city of Sheboygan. I will do my best to make you proud of your selection. Congratulations now to our newly elected older persons, Alderman Berg, I should say, Alderman Dennis Baumann, Alderman Gene Kittleson who's not here, myself from the fourth district, and Alderman Ricky Meyer from the seventh. And then over in the second Alderman Renee Susha, Alderman Gene Davis, Alderman Jeff Radke, Alderman Marilyn Montemire.  Welcome back to all the other older persons to what looks like it's going to be a very interesting and challenging year ahead of us all. Congratulations also to Sue Richards, newly elected to her first full term as city clerk. And finally, congratulations to our new mayor, Juan Perez. Who accepted the challenge to lead the city and to keep Sheboygan moving forward in a fair, honest and equitable manner. I'm confident that Mayor Perez will change the way government does its business in the city of Sheboygan, and it will be what is best for the city of Sheboygan and its citizens. In order to accomplish this change, I'm asking the older persons to take a deep breath and step back and re-examine what we are all doing. I'm asking this of each and every one of us to work with the department heads, to examine all the details and the reports and to come up with our own conclusions and not just depend on possibly three or four other older persons to come up with suggestions that we are to follow. I will be asking the chairperson of the committee of the whole, all in Montemara, to schedule as many meetings as necessary so that we will all have the same information and all have participated in the same discussions in order that we will be able to make an informed decision on whatever topic we may be discussing. We also need to take into consideration the will of the people and make sure it's being heard. All older persons and citizens have a right to know what is going on in the city of Sheboygan and what we are discussing. Getting a second opinion on many things does not mean that we may have made a mistake, but that we may have received some new information and new facts that may show us the right thing to do. We need to revisit some issues and act on behalf of the taxpayers. If we wish to continue the legacy of the former mayor and council, we can do that or also we are here to develop a new and improved legacy of our own and we must learn to build consensus and to cooperate with each other. In the next several months, we will be taking votes on various issues that will be more than just a simple majority of the common council that's needed to pass some votes require two thirds, some votes require three fourths of a majority to pass. We must and we need to work together to accomplish these goals and pass these various documents. As a 2005, 2006 common council president, my message to each of you is to build a consensus, work together, share all information, have an open mind and do what is best for the city and citizens of Sheboygan. I ask you each to work with the mayor, department heads and each other in order to accomplish this our major goal and the rest will come easy. I look forward to working with you Alderman, Mayor Perez, excuse me, as well as all the department heads, the Alderman and the employees and this the 2005, 2006 common council and I ask for your support during this upcoming very exciting and challenging year. Thank you and God bless. Thank you Alderman Graf. At this point I'd ask Alderman Montemayor, chairman, committee of the whole to say a few words. Please. Well, if I stand on my tiptoes, can you see me? Alderman Graf, good message. I agree with everything you've said and you've laid some work on my shoulders and I accept this responsibility and thank you for the job of the committee of the whole chairmanship. I'll take this responsibility seriously. We as a council will use the committee of the whole to discuss issues, gather lots of information about challenges we face. We will be asking many questions and many questions will be asked of us. We need to listen and learn and ask anybody who has information to please help us. I look forward to a committee of the whole meeting soon. Thank you. And now I would like to say a few words to the people of Sheboygan and the common council. Good evening. Members of the common council, people of Sheboygan, city clerk through Richards, city attorney Steve McLean, friends and supporters. Tonight is a historic night. It is the beginning of a new era in municipal government for the city of Sheboygan.  You wanted your government back and you shall have it. There may be other days in my life that I will remember as I remember tonight but it is not likely. My heart is filled with enormous pride. Humility, hope and gratitude for all that has led up to this night. As mayor I began my duties with high hopes, high energy and high expectations. My journey to this night has been long and challenging and invigorating. I thank you for electing me as your mayor. I thank you for your faith and my leadership and my commitment to serve you and represent your interest about all else. I want to thank my wife of 31 years, Sylvia, my son, Sebe, Rigo and Ethan for standing strong next to me. I want to thank my daughter-in-law, Sarah and my first grandson, Austin, for giving me another reason to want to make Sheboygan the best place to live and raise a family. Without the help of so many fine people, so many wonderful people during my campaign, I would not be here tonight, but I am here and a bright future awaits us and I cannot wait to start. The needs of our citizens will be our top priority. During my administration, the city of Sheboygan will be committed to you. You are our customer and we will provide you with the best services that meet your needs and exceeds your expectations. This administration will conduct itself with the highest integrity, openness, accountability and professionalism. We will treat everyone impartially, decently, respectfully and compassionately. We will strive to earn your respect and confidence by listening to you and making you our top priority. During the next several months, I will be working hard to fulfill some of my promises I made to you. I will begin the implementation of my budget prioritization program. We must come to grips with the financial struggles the city faces. The people have told us plainly and quite frequently that we must carefully balance the services they need with their ability to pay. This program should reveal the true expensive activity of the delivery of our services. We will be able to evaluate costs and track the efficiency of those services in order to make your tax dollar work harder and smarter. In the face of financial reality and constraints, I ask this common council to work with me, to look forcefully, honestly and with no obligation to any interest group but the taxpayer as we prepare for next year's budget. I will make the building of a new police station a priority, but it's not gonna get built on Sheridan Park. Yeah! I will do what is necessary to save Sheridan Park. In my mind, my heart and my soul, Sheridan Park will not be destroyed. Members of the common council, all in lieu, you heard the people speak and reach out to you during this last election. They spoke clearly to you again. Please be responsive. Don't continue to ignore them. I will promote legislation to reactivate the Parks and Forestry Commission. I will promote legislation to make it difficult, extremely difficult for a mayor or alderman to ever again attempt to destroy a park. I will put together a task force made up of city, county, school officials and citizens to begin charting the road we will take to realize a true cost saving potential of optimum shared services. We will begin building visionary partnerships with neighboring jurisdictions, the county and the school, based on trust and honesty. We can no longer afford to isolate ourselves. We must reach out to others if we are to succeed. I will work hard with the business community to chart our course to success in making our great city of Sheboygan not only the best place to live in, but also to visit. We shall welcome visitors with open arms and great amenities and we will also encourage everyone to stay. I know that control growth is vital to our community, but we must manage growth in a manner that is high quality, well planned and acceptable to our community. I ask our business leaders to work closely with me to make Sheboygan progressive and yet maintain some of that good old fashioned feeling that has made our community so attractive to many. And finally, as we move forward to promote and preserve the safety and quality of life of our citizens, I respectfully ask the Common Council and our city employees to embrace a spirit of teamwork and unite in public service to our community. I ask each alderman to demonstrate true commitment to their constituents, but to always remain mindful that your individual vote collectively impacts our entire community, not just your own district. We truly have been entrusted with great responsibility and we must answer the call of our duty with the entire community in mind, that our thoughts and actions reflect our total commitment to the people of Sheboygan. And as the psalmist once wrote, that your good spirit lead me on a level path. Thank you and God bless his beautiful city of ours. Mayor's appointments, Steve. I don't remember some council.

It'll take a little. We would appreciate it. Thank you, sir. And if you could give me when you have a chance, your address, please, Mr. Cooke-San. Certainly. 2829 Erie Avenue. And you will have five minutes, sir. Thank you. Because I only have five minutes, my congratulations to the new mayor, our new and returning Alderman, our city clerk must of course be brief. I do wish you all the blessings of good health and your deliberations, a clear mind, and a calm temperament, and a spirit of collegiality. And whether I agree or disagree with you, I do respect and admire you for the time you are willing to take out of your lives that can never be replaced to help manage this wonderful city of ours. So congratulations and thank you. I'm especially aware of the passage of time because tomorrow is my 62nd birthday. So I am here again to speak on the subject of building a police station at Sheridan Park. I'm here especially to respond to former Alderman Werner's comment yesterday that the Engberg report does quote, not pass muster of being an independent report. I'm not here to defend the Engberg report by rebutting the former Alderman Werner's assertion, but rather to focus upon the Kimme report itself and illuminate the kind of details that will motivate you to read that report with an open and analytical mind. I believe you would find the Kimme report does not quote, pass muster itself as a reliable document for this important decision. In fact, I believe that a close examination of the outcomes of the various selection criteria, I'll discuss that in a moment, that favored Sheridan Park over the Imperial Motel site will in fact support a position that favors the 23rd Street site over Sheridan Park. Exclamation point. Such inclusion is possible because now that the Imperial Motel site has been withdrawn from consideration, the selection criteria are turned topsy-turvy and the logical outcome is no longer a slam dunk that Sheridan Park must be the inevitable choice. I have enlarged the sheet in the Kimme report that has the evaluation criteria. They have all the sites listed. They have five categories as subdivided for a total of 21 criteria. Between Sheridan Park and the next site selection, the site which was Imperial Motel of the 21 criteria, they are tied on 10, excuse me, tied on 11 and evenly divided on 10. And the difference between the two is only 19 points. 19 points, 365 for Sheridan Park versus 346 for Imperial Motel. Of those 10 points were impact on the tax base and now that we're considering 23rd Street, that's not a consideration. Acquisition and development costs, another 10 points, that's not a consideration. Availability and readiness, that's not a consideration. 10 plus 10 plus eight, that's 28 points. All of a sudden, Sheridan Park isn't ahead. There are a whole raft of things. The cost of construction, which is disputed between the Kimme report and the Engboard report, and the Kimme report, it acknowledges it costs more to build a two-story structure than a one-story structure. And as of the report, which is about two years old now, it costs $3.31 more per square foot to build a two-story building. And at 47,000, 46,473 square feet, that's 154,750 dollars and 9 cents more to build a two-story building. Some other things. In favor of Sheridan, environmental impact because the contamination at the 23rd Street site. Well, there are no salt borings taken. So how can you consider that? That's another eight points. It goes on and on. One of the considerations that is a factor is land for onsite parking. And there, Sheridan Park had negative five points. And of course, 23rd Street offers much more of an opportunity. So what I'm saying is, if you examine this report analytically in the light of the fact that it's 23rd Street and not the Imperial Motel, you can't help but say, this has to be reevaluated. There is that impact on the tax base that counted so much and it's not gonna count anymore. A huge issue was the general acceptability and compatibility with neighbors. Please, please respect the wishes of your citizens. Mr. Cooke-San, I'm sorry, you're five minutes ahead. I had something to say about the appendix. I would like to ask for the council's gracious permission to continue, because there's something about the microwave tower, which is very significant. And that was a factor in the decision. Thank you. I had some other things to say, but I'll just cut to the chase when it comes to the microwave tower. There is an appendix to the committee report. I hope you read it. There's several pages that are just numbers, but there is the parts titled Site Analysis for Data and Radio Communication Requirements. The paragraph says, I'll read it verbatim. Well, there's two small omissions just to condense it. Data, radio and data communications are vital and each site of the sites that were considered must be analyzed for their ability to accommodate the connectivity of these systems. It will require data connections back to City Hall, plus the connection of the radio consoles to the county-wide radio system, which means they must ultimately terminate at the main radio site at Taylor Hill. All the sites will need antenna. It was brought up that the microwave site at Imperial Motel would cost $50,000. Well, it turns out, listen to this. Well, first, Sheridan Park. A communication tower would still be required for other point-to-point communications.  And regarding Imperial Motel, and I say this is also applicable to 23rd Street, and please let me read this in its entirety. The only option for this site may be a microwave system. And that goes on, interestingly enough. A fiber optic could be installed from this site to the fire department headquarters on 25th Street and then tied into the microwave system at this site, thereby eliminating the need for the fire department to have the T1 line that they currently have. Now, what is a T1 line? I had to ask my wife about this because she's working on a degree in technology. She says that's an institutional line connecting to the internet. And she says it costs about $1,000 a month. You could save $1,000 a month by tying the fire department with a fiber optic to the 23rd Street site and connected with the microwave system. Here's something also interesting. And with this, I'll conclude and thank everybody for the time and for your generous willingness to offer me this extra time. This arrangement could also help enhance the capability of the City County Emergency Operations Center and for the city's disaster contingence plan. In other words, the microwave tower, which was supposed to be such a liability is actually an asset. Thank you. Next on the list is Joseph Clark. Mr. Clark, would you please come up to the front, Mike? And Mr. Clark, can you give me your home address please? Certainly, 319 Michigan Avenue. And you will have five minutes. Thank you. Mr. Mayor, ladies and gentlemen of the 2005-2006 Common Council, congratulations to those newly elected and thank you to all of you for giving your time to serve the citizens of Sheboygan. Last night in a very interesting civics lesson, the former Common Council voted to file the Engberg-Moyer report on the police station and comment was made that the report may be brought back. We are all aware that in a high-profile court case, expert witnesses can be found to argue for each side of the case. Emotions run high and it's easy to make a decision based on emotion or politics and then to cling to the report of the expert that supports one's own cause while labeling the other side as biased. That seems to me to be what is happening now. Any subsequent discussion brings with it an agenda. How then to proceed fairly? Let me state at the onset that I'm not affiliated with Zimmerman Design Group. I'm not currently involved in this process in any official capacity, merely a concerned citizen of Sheboygan. However, I was the project manager for the Steubenrock Architects who oversaw the City Hall half of the 2002 Steubenrock Kimmy study and coordinated closely with Kimmy Associates as they developed the police station component. I'll be the first to point out that I'm not an expert on police facilities. I did, however, have a front row seat to the meticulous process that Kimmy used to evaluate the sites in question. I would encourage you to reexamine the original Kimmy reports prepared prior to this issue becoming divisive. Please do not let other people, myself included, tell you what these reports say or do not say. Please read them both and the Kimmy review of the 23rd Street site for yourselves. And I would be happy to answer any questions I can. As you investigate the facts in order to make your decisions, I would point out that there are many statements circulating which I consider to be flat out wrong or at least misleading. Two brief examples. First, a larger site allows more room for expansion. This seems to be logical. However, I don't find it to be true. If you have a larger site but are filling it to 100% of its capacity with a single-story building and parking, you have no room for expansion. Similarly, if you have a smaller sloped site and fill it to, say, 80% with parking and a two-story building and then wish to maintain the remaining 20% as park, you again have no room for expansion. In each case, you're gonna be looking for additional land for future expansion. And that's a key point. Future expansion. The Kimme study looked at demographic trends and allowed for growth for the next 20 years. I assume that the Zimmerman design is also allowing for foreseeable growth. So the question becomes, in 20 years, land adjacent to which site will be more affordable and which land will better serve the tax rolls? Second, you get more building for your dollar on a single-level site. As a general point, this is correct. In this instance, I find it misleading. Kimme based their cost estimates on the industry standard RS means historical cost data. The difference in base construction cost between the one-story and two-story approaches showed that, all else being equal, you will see about a $394,000 savings for building the single-story approach. Keep in mind that much of that savings is lost if you introduce even a partial basement or second floor at 23rd Street. But that's not the whole picture. All else is not equal. Utility costs were found to be approximately $100,000 more expensive at 23rd Street. The cost of a communications antenna required an additional $200,000. There were also costs associated with the county's salt shed, resulting in the two site costs being just about balanced without even addressing the concerns of the filled-in drainage ditch running through the 23rd Street site or lower operational costs associated with a more compact two-story building or, most importantly, the site acquisition costs for the 23rd Street site. What you are left with is an equation where, for comparably designed buildings, the Sheridan Park site will be less expensive than the 23rd Street site by, at minimum, the acquisition costs of the 23rd Street site. In conclusion, these seem to be the relevant questions. What is the current cost to purchase the county land? How much of a premium are we willing to pay in order to keep Sheridan Park?  Move to a lot of extra time for this one here. Second. Motion to second. Thank you. I will be brief. The floor is on the table if you're all right. Hi. Can you call? Just continue, sir. Thank you. And finally, are we in a financial position to be able to pay for that premium, even if we want to? Regardless of where the new police station is located, please keep the process moving as quickly as possible. The current facility is an accident waiting to happen, and it's a credit to the department that they have used it so well. Good luck to all of you, and thank you very much. Next on our list is Scott Lewanduski. Scott, could you please come up to the front, Mike? Scott, I would need your home address, please. Okay, it's 2201 Erie Avenue. And you will have five minutes. Okay. First of all, I want to congratulate the new mayor and new city clerk and the new members of the Common Council and also the members of the Common Council who have been reelected. This even includes my opponent in the election, Dennis Bauman. I wish all of you the best of success, and I hope that the people of Sheboygan support you. And best way to get the citizens of Sheboygan to support you is to listen to them. Most members of the previous Common Council showed the people of Sheboygan that they wouldn't listen to the citizens of Sheboygan. Most members of the previous Common Council told the citizens of Sheboygan, we don't care what you have to say. This was shown by throwing in the garbage, filing a petition with over 3,000 signatures of Sheboygan citizens, requesting a referendum on Sheridan Park. Then last night, the same Common Council voted to throw in the garbage a report by Sheboygan business leaders and showing these business leaders that the Common Council is not willing to work with them. One reason given by Alderman Berg was that the report was biased. Who is biased when the Common Council won't even look at this report or allow the new Common Council to look at it? Your actions speak louder than words. I do not wanna see history repeat itself in destroying a park. In 1920, there was another park on 14th Street in Sheboygan, Born's Park. Born's Park was considered one of the beauty spots in Wisconsin with people coming from as far away as New York State and Washington State. The owner was Charles Born and he wanted to sell his park to the city. Born was a former police chief, Alderman and four-time mayor of Sheboygan. The people of Sheboygan wanted the city to buy the park and in 1920, signed petitions to have this purchase put to a referendum. The petitions were ignored by the mayor and Common Council. Various people tried until 1927 to get the city to buy the park. Finally, in the spring of 1927, the park was destroyed when the trees were all cut down, the land leveled off and houses were built on the former park grounds which were located between 14th and 15th Streets, Michigan and St. Clair Avenue. In 1928, which was the first election after the park was destroyed, eight Aldermen were eligible for reelection. Six ran for reelection. The day after the election in what the Sheboygan press called surprising because of how rare it happens, four of the six incumbents lost their bid for reelection.  Three of the biggest supporters to destroy Sheridan Park were defeated two weeks ago because they did not listen to the citizens of Sheboygan. Will you be next? Some members of the previous Common Council claimed that the Sheridan Park site would save money. The Anberg Report did not back this up so that report was thrown into garbage. How much money will the Sheridan Park site save for the police station? The cost of building off site a separate evidence storage unit and staffing it was not mentioned, nor was the cost of travel, time and gas between these two sites mentioned. There is no one in the city that I have talked to that is not in support of a new police station but the majority of the people on Sheridan Park saved and the police station located on 23rd Street. Listen to the people and save Sheridan Park as a park in order to do a good job and do what is best for the city and future of Sheboygan you must have the support of the people. We must all work together. United we stand divided we fall. We must unite to build a police station at the 23rd Street site. Show the people of Sheboygan that you are listening to them. When you ignore us, the people of Sheboygan, the common council is telling us that you have no respect for the citizens of Sheboygan. That's all I have. And last on our list is Mark Summer. Mark, could you please come up to the mic? Mark, would you give me your home address please? Yeah, so it's 523 South 14th Street. And you will have five minutes. Congratulations to the new mayor and the council. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the mayor and the common council, the city plan commission and the development and planning department of the city of Sheboygan for their recent position on the ethanol plant. Also, I'd like to thank the city clerk's office for the ease in obtaining public records. It does indeed show citizens and government can work together. Thank you again. Resolutions introduced, 1-1. Alderman Graf. You and I would move that that resolution be put upon its passage and it's to reactivate various special committees for the 2005-2006 council year. Your second. Under discussion. Alderman Byrd. Yes, thank you, Your Honor. I'd like to have an amendment to remove the special arena committee from that list in as much as that is reconstituted by your committee appointment as the, I can find it here, the marina and harbor commission. So I would move to amend the special marina committee entry to the marina and harbor committee. There's a motion to amend in a second. All those in favor of the motion? I mean, I state aye. Any opposed? Alderman Graf. Then, Your Honor, as amended, I would move that that resolution be put upon its passage. Your second. Motion to second. Put the resolution upon its passage. Under discussion. Not all those in favor, state? State aye. Aye. Any opposed? Motion carries. One, two, one, three will lie over. One, four, to one, six to be referred. Other matters, Steve? All those cities, Oregon police facility, its impact upon shared law enforcement service potential and site considerations and associated costs. That will be referred to building use. Thank you. Anything else? Excuse me. Before we adjourn, I would just like to make an announcement, a couple of announcements, three announcements. I would ask that any interested party that would like to be considered for the vacancy of the Aldermanic seat of the second district, which I vacated, to please submit a letter of interest. It would help if you would attach a resume or some type of bio to that letter of interest. And please submit it to city clerk Sue Richards, no later than Friday, April 29th. Anyone who is interested in being considered for that position. I would also just briefly just thank Lee Montemayor folks. I got my own engraved gavel tonight. Pretty awesome. And finally, please join us for finger food and light refreshments in the third floor conference room. And I would like to add that all those refreshments and food were donated by supporters and friends. There's no tax money being used to pay for those. Is there a second? Stand adjourned.


Nick Wooster, a man who needs no introduction. It's great to see you again. Thank you. Nice to see you too. So one question. Okay. What is the most important rule of men's style? So the most important rule of men's style is to all... First of all, don't do what I do, but always default to the most classic, you know, and never underestimate the power of navy blue. Fantastic. Thank you so much.

I was just fishing for whatever would buy it like brim Blue gills stuff like that and that's what I just loved doing in my My parents really didn't know I had such a passion for fishing until later on in my life I really didn't fish too much until I was I Mean like when I was younger fishing off the docks From around four years old to 12 years old. I really didn't fish that much, you know, I fish off the docks a little bit and Once I turned around 12 my grandpa Started taking me fishing. We started going cat fishing So we're we're going to this catfish pond and we're catching catfish and then it moved all the way to bass fishing But we're bass fishing ponds and it just opened up a whole new world, you know And I really loved bass fishing and then I found out that there was competitive bass fishing And I started competitive bass fishing when I was around 13 to 14 years old Hopped in the tournaments and my journey just keeps continuing. We've we've had many many bass boats We started off with just a little metal a little metal tracker.  So we moved on to a nitro and We liked the nitro, you know, we fished out of it for a while. We fished out of it for like Seven months and then we ended up moving on to a ranger The ranger we loved we loved our ranger and I just got so many more opportunities ended up getting Sponsored by ranger boats and ended up getting another ranger, which now we have a 2014 Ranger Z20C and Z520C and It's just amazing how far we've come and so quick and it's really ridiculous how I can go think back to it and say man Just four years ago. I wasn't even bass fishing, you know I was just sitting there at ponds Fishing for catfish or sitting off the dock fishing for brim. I mean, it's just amazing and for me to think back and Realize how far I came and how much I've built up kicking their bass TV and inspire others It's just a great feeling. It means a lot. I just like to thank you guys So thank you guys so much for the support Especially thanks for watching. I'll see you guys in the next video


Kadyrov is preparing for the post-Putin era. The head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov is supposedly in a post-Putin Russia and can now be removed from the Russian administration. This was said by Russian publicist and political scientist Andrey Piontkovsky. After Prigozhin's rebellion, the Kadyrovites are not going anywhere. Kadyrov is already living in Putin's post-war Russia and creating an army to protect his state. He has a duty and is different from other Wagner's in Russia. The short-lived June 2023 rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner Privates Military Corporation, raised the possibility that Vladimir Putin's continued rule over Russia is not as certain as it previously appeared. The Wagner rebellion raises the possibility that Putin may suddenly and unexpectedly fall from power sometime soon. Kadyrov takes these into account. Currently, Putin is standing in the way of the enemies. Kadyrov has cultivated in Russian security services experts say. Kadyrov's relationship with Putin has allowed him to sidestep or override federal agencies. Putin has funneled enormous funding into Kadyrov's Chechnya. Chechnya is propped up by considerable financial aid from Moscow. But after Putin, these can be put to an end and Kadyrov takes these into account.


You know who's been a long time since we've seen one of his trailers? Johnny Duck. What? Ha ha ha! If you're getting it on, Corbin and this is Rick, welcome to our Stupid Reactions. Please follow us on Instagram! And TRUE! I'm all behind the scenes content. That is... That's actually true. It is true. And we actually have an official Twitter account. Please follow us right here. That's where we tweet. We tweet and twatter from there. Wow. Don't talk about my twat. Ha ha ha ha! Yes, sir! Welcome to a Amir Khan trailer. Who's that? He's this old guy we used to like. We did? Yeah. Have we seen an Amir Khan? We've seen maybe one. I can't remember that. I can't remember any of his films. But this one's called For Somebody Tuning In For The First Time Who Doesn't Know Our Channel. Ha ha! Idiots. So this is called Talosh, Talosh, Talosh. Talosh. Yes. Talosh. Talosh. I can see things in the woods and I talosh as I go. Talosh here there. Here and everywhere. Yes. Talosh is made, but of course. Don't know what it's about. It has Amir Khan in... Oh! And Kermina Kapoor. Sweet. Don't know how it is. It could be trash. Let us see. We don't find it to be the judge for all of this. I don't score up a mile. We can't tell if a trailer is trash before we see it, guys. I can. That's happened so many times. Yep. Oh, you hate it. People are like, why do you react to this trash? I didn't know it's trash! Exactly. What's in the water? That was a crime. This is a very high profile case. We should not be outside until the case gets solved. Understood? We had so many accidents on that road. We didn't understand anything. We didn't find any evidence. We didn't find any evidence. We didn't find any evidence. We didn't find any evidence. And today his wife has filed an FIR. I want Rs. 5 lakh cash from him. I want Rs. 50 lakh. It is Nawazidin. And Nawazidin? Wow, I like it. And her. I don't know what to do. What do you think? What do you think I should do? You didn't do anything. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. Well, we definitely weren't skipping through the park. No. Wow. Um, why didn't they... Nawazidin's name in there. How do you...  Why wouldn't you put Nawazidin's name in the title? Exactly. Craziness.  But anyway, yeah, so that was a wonderful surprise. Yeah. So definitely we're interested for that reason. The trailer was good. It wasn't great. It wasn't a great trailer. No. Since it has those people. Exactly. I am 100% interested. If this didn't have those three in it. These were people I did not know. I wouldn't have much interest. Yeah, the trailer kind of almost fell flat. So I'm hoping that the film didn't also kind of fall flat. Right. But you can let us know if it's worth a watch. For sure. I'm definitely interested because of who's in it. Nawazidin is first and foremost for me the draw. And then the second equal draw for me is to watch Amir Khan do something where he's being dramatic as he is. That's the most dramatic we would see him thus far. Not trailer-wise. I mean film-wise. Donga. That was dramatic, but not like that. Donga wasn't as serious as that. Donga was pretty serious. Yeah, he was. But it was more lighthearted, family-fair than it was a guy having an affair and killing people and slapping them and growing a mustache. Well, yeah, a mustache. Pretty epic. So yeah, please, like I said, let us know how it is if it's actually good. And how much of is Nawazidin really a supporting strong character in this or does he just make a flash appearance and that's why he wasn't named? Yeah, I love his eyes. Nawazidin? Oh, I know. He's got, again, we talked about this before, he's got a screen presence that's comparable to the Big B in terms of magnetism and just the weightiness of his being on screen. Yeah, we saw that one with the Ramen 2.0 thingy. Yeah. Sorry, renaming that one Ramen 2.0. Which is the new brand of top Ramen. You thought the old version was good. Try Ramen 2.0. Tasty. I'm a new person. Let's see, hold on. And I just, I love Amir Khan. I can't wait to watch more of him outside of what we've seen because I haven't watched him do bad work yet. Well, apparently he had a really bad film last year. Yeah. Something with an H in it. Tugs of Hiroshima or something like that? Tugs of Hiroshima.  Apparently it was a really bad film. Yeah, I remember hearing about that. Inspector Sergeant Shakewad. Come on down. Sergeant Shakewad? Shakewad. Not Shakewad. Hey, come here. Shakewad. He is forever now Sergeant Shakewad. Come here, Sergeant Shakewad. Inspector Sergeant Shakewad. Who's dealing with a depressing past. Has to investigate a high profile murder case, deal with a crumbling marriage, and use the help and solace of a prostitute by the name of Rosie. Oh, thanks for telling us her name. Why is her name in there? I don't know, yeah. Like a prostitute would have surprised me. Yeah, he uses the help and solace of a prostitute. And by the way, her name's Rosie. No, it's not even in the poster. No, it's not even in the poster. Like a really small part? He's either a really small part, or they want to make him a big surprise, or someone made a very enormous mistake. Isn't it wasn't in Siddiqi in this film? In what film? This one. This is the one with... Was Ranki Bhajan? Yeah, that's the one with Salman Khan. Apparently he is. About the Pakistani girl. I would think he is in that film since he's known for it here on IMDb. Well, apparently that's like everybody's favorite Salman Khan film. And is this one. But I didn't remember seeing him in the... No, it was probably just another one of those... We should have Micah appear like Noazidin does. Unannounced, and just all of a sudden you're doing something and all of a sudden it's like... Hi, how you doing? And that's it. Just a quick appearance. And I don't know where this was in the scope of Noazidin's career, because if this happened earlier in Noazidin's career... No, it's 2012. Yeah, the mystery continues. Interesting. Yeah, so please let us know how it is, because obviously Katrina Kapoor... Karina? Yeah, Karina, sorry. She was in Jabwee Met, which we haven't reacted to yet. But I'm getting subs for that. There's a lot of trailers that I need subs for. And that is one of them, Jabwee Met. Jabwee Met. And I love that. That has Shakhit Kapoor. Oh, sorry. It's Shakhit. So many people are like, how are you guys brutalizing his name? Will you please get it right? Shakhit Kapoor, not Sharid Kapoor. Omar Sharif. This one's not... I don't know what's going on. Sometimes you're an enigma man. Sometimes you just nail these things that I didn't expect.  You call Katrina. What are you gonna do?

Welcome to the Hindu News Analysis by Shankar Ayur's Academy. These are the news articles chosen for today's discussion. They are given along with the page number of different traditions. Link for the handwritten notes in PDF format and the timestamping for the discussed articles are given in the description box as well as the comment section for the benefit of the mobile viewers. Now let us start with the first article. Now let us take up this op-ed article for discussion. See, police force is the prime law enforcing agency in India, but our police force is suffering from many issues and it requires a lot of reforms. For example, take the issue of human rights violation and custodial torture in police force. This issue has been plaguing of police force for many decades. Even our Chief Justice of India recently issued a statement regarding this human rights violation and custodial torture in police force. What was the statement? The threat to human rights and bodily integrity is the highest in police stations. This was a statement given by our Chief Justice of India. So, in this context, this editorial has been written. It highlights the serious issue of human rights violation and custodial torture in our police force. This editorial also discusses about the police reforms needed. The author of this editorial also gives some case laws and reports to support his points. So, very important article from main exam topic. So, pay attention. You can get lot of value addition material from this discussion. Now let us move into the article discussion. The relevant syllabus is displayed on the screen. Interested aspirants can go through it. See, custodial torture is one of the gravest means of human rights violation. According to National Crime Records Bureau, NCRB, on average of about 100 custodial deaths have taken place every year between 2010 and 2019. This is the yearly average, 100 custodial deaths. See, for every custodial death, judicial inquiry is mandatory. But it was conducted for only 26.4 cases. Again, this is an average. Out of the 100 yearly average, only 26.4 cases were conducted judicial inquiry. So, this statistic shows the seriousness of the issue. Now, we have a question. What can we do to bring down the custodial violence? How can we reduce the custodial deaths and human rights violation in our police force? Very important topic. Police reforms. Now, let us discuss the important suggestions given by the author of the editorial. The first suggestion. See, according to the author, we should minimize the number of arrest. See, arrest is only necessary when the accused might tamper with the evidence or may cause some public nuisance. Only in these cases, arrest is essential. Otherwise, until conviction, arrest must be minimized. Also, according to Special Action Forum v. Union of India 2018 case, the police officer shall furnish to the magistrate the reasons that necessitated the arrest. The purpose of this checks is to ensure that police do not abuse the power of arrest. The police force should use arrest as the last resort. This is the first suggestion given by the author. Minimize the number of arrests. Now, moving on to the next suggestion. The next suggestion is separating investigation from law and order. Let me explain the difference. For example, a case is registered for theft. First, investigation is done into the merits of the case. Who is the thief? What kind of theft has been done? This is the investigation part of the case. Now, coming to law and order. See, law and order deals with the maintenance of peas in a locality. You know, the rear control, those kind of steps. They are law and order. Currently, both these responsibilities are interested with the police force. They are responsible for investigation. They are also responsible for maintaining law and order. So, this is adding burden to the police force. They are stressed. They are working overtime. So, in order to make their job easier, police resort to custodial torture. They want a quick confession. So, they torture the accused. This resorts to custodial torture. I hope passports can follow. Another important point is due to the overburden, the quality of the investigation is also poor. They do not have the sufficient time. They do not have the sufficient resources. So, obviously, the quality of investigation is also poor. So, this is why our author is suggesting to separate investigation from law and order. There must be separate force for investigation. There must be separate force for law and order. This will minimize the burden. See, this is not the first time this suggestion has been given. For example, take Malimath committee report 2003. Take Prakash Singh versus Union of India case 2006. These reports and cases also suggested separating law and order from investigation. These points are very important. You can use it as value addition in your main answer. If you're from pubard optional, you can use it as value addition in your optional paper also to make note of it. Now, moving on to the next suggestion. See, according to the author, we should increase the number of investigating officers. Right now, the number of investigating officers are very low. They're investigating many cases. So, it leads to a lot of custodial deaths, custodial torture and the quality of investigation is also poor. So, the author is suggesting to increase the number of investigating officers. See, according to Malimath committee, an investigating officer should preferably investigate no more than 10 cases every year. Then only the quality of the investigation will be good. But right now, we are not following this number. We should aspire to achieve this number. An investigator should only investigate only 10 cases every year. He should not cross that limit. Then only the quality of investigation will be good. Now, moving on to the next suggestion. According to the author, we should install more CCTVs in police stations. See, in Paramveer Singh versus Baljit Singh case 2020, the Supreme Court of India also has directed states to cover more area of each police station under CCTV cameras. This same suggestion is also given by the author, installing more CCTVs in police stations. Also, according to Supreme Court of India, an independent committee should study the footage and periodically publish reports of the observations in the footage. Why this process is needed? Because it will bring accountability. If a committee is studying the footage from the police station, then it will bring accountability. There will be less custodial torture, there will be less custodial deaths. So, this is an important suggestion given by the author, installing more CCTVs. Now, moving on to the next suggestion. See, the next suggestion is regarding the sensitization of police. For example, the police should be sensitized to break the traditional gender stereotypes and notions. These kinds of trainings must be given to the police force. This will help us to develop a more human police force. They will connect with the public. They will connect with the issues of the public and there will be less custodial tortures and human rights violation. Now, moving on to the next suggestion. See, according to the author, we should employ scientific tools of interrogation and investigation in our police force. For example, lie detection test, narco test and brain fingerprinting test. These kinds of tests should be employed in our interrogation and investigation techniques. The western countries are doing these techniques and it is showing results. So, we should also try to implement such scientific tools. These tools will reduce the human rights violation and custodial torture in our police station. So, these are the suggestions told by the author to bring down the incidents of custodial torture. See, the points discussed in this editorial are very important. You can use the cases and statistics reports given in this editorial as valuation in your mains answer. For example, imagine a question like this. Custodial torture is a rampant method used in Indian police system illegally to expedite the judicial proceedings. Discuss. Suggest ways to mitigate the minance in the Indian police system. You can expect these kinds of questions in the mains. For a question of this sort, this discussion will command you. You can find relevant points in this discussion and all you can also find the value addition material in this discussion. Very important article. Please make sure you make use of it. With this, we have come to the end of the discussion. In this discussion, we saw about the human rights violation and custodial torture in our police force. We also discussed about the ways by which we can bring down the custodial violence. What are the ways? Minimize the number of arrests, separating, investigating from law and order, improve the quality of investigation, increase the number of investigating officers, installing more CCTVs, sensitization of police, and employing scientific tools of interrogation and investigation. These are the solutions given by the author in this editorial. Now let us move on to the next discussion. Now let us take up this article. See, recently 2020 summer Paralympic Games was held in Tokyo. It is still going on. So far, three players from India have won two silver and a bronze medal. Bhavina Patel, who is a table tennis star and eye jumper named Nishad Kumar, won silver medal. When we are talking about bronze medal, it was won by discuss thrower Vinod Kumar. Now let us congratulate the winners. They have made the country proud. So in this context, let us learn about Paralympic Games. What is the history of Paralympic Games? What are the categories included? Let us learn about it. See, the Paralympics was developed by Sir Ludwig Gutmann. It is a German word. The pronunciation is Gutmann. Okay. See, Sir Ludwig Gutmann was a Jewish neurosurgeon who fled Nazi Germany to England. During the World War times, Nazis were persecuting the Jews in Europe. So in order to escape the persecution of Nazis, he fled to England. In England, he opened a spinal injury center. The name of the center is Stoke Manuel Hospital. See, this is the history behind the Paralympics. In 1948, he organized a sports competition for the British World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries. This event was organized in England. It was organized by Sir Ludwig Gutmann in Stoke Manuel Hospital. As I already said, he was treating spinal injuries. So in order to treat the British World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries, this competition was started. The name of the competition is Stoke Manuel Games. The purpose of this game was to assist large number of war veterans and civilians who had been injured during war time. So it was for rehabilitation. This was a noble intention behind the origin of Paralympic Games. During World Wars, many people got disabled. So in order to rehabilitate them, this sports was started. Later, this rehabilitation sport evolved to recreational sport. And further, recreational sport evolved into competitive sport. So officially, the Stoke Manuel Games became the Paralympic Games. And the first Paralympic Games took place in Rome, Italy in 1960. Since then, they have taken place every four years. I hope aspirants can follow. See, similar to Olympic Games, the Paralympic Games are also split into winter and summer games. Right now, summer Paralympic Games are going in Tokyo. See, the summer and winter Paralympic Games occur every two years alternatively. So in 2020, summer Paralympic Games will take place. In 2022, winter Paralympic Games will take place. In 2024, again, summer Paralympic Games will take place. Similar to normal Olympics. To put it in simple words, summer games and winter games occur four years once, but it occurs alternatively every two years. Now, let us discuss about the governing body behind the Paralympic Games. The International Paralympic Committee is the global governing body of Paralympic movement. This committee was founded in 1989. It is the global governing body of Paralympic movement. Now, coming to the host. See, the Paralympics are usually held in the same city that holds the corresponding Olympic Games. First, the normal Olympics takes place within a short span of time Paralympics takes place. This is a usual convention. So the host is the same city of the corresponding Olympic Games. Now, let us discuss about the classification behind Paralympic Games. See, Paralympic athletes compete in six different disability groups. Let us see about these groups. The first group is Amputi. See, Amputi is a person who has lost all or part of an arm and leg due to surgical removal. So, this is the first category. The next category is Cerebral Palsy. It is a neurological disorder. The third category is visual impairment. The fourth category is spinal cord injuries. The fifth category is intellectual disabilities and the sixth category is others. Athletes whose disability does not fit into one of the other categories. This is the sixth category. So, a disabled athlete participates in any one of these categories. See, within each group, athletes are further divided into classes on the basis of type and extent of their disabilities. For example, take intellectual disability. The type and extent of the intellectual disability varies. So, within this category, athletes are further divided into classes based on the type and extent of their disabilities. I hope aspirants can follow. Another important point is the physical status can change. For example, a disabled person can improve in future years. So, that athlete can be reclassified at later competition. Another example will be the disability can get worse as the time moves on. So, the athlete can be reclassified at later competition based on their physical status changes. So, these are the important points regarding Paralympics. With this, we have come to the end of the discussion. In this discussion, we saw about the 2020 summer Paralympic Games. We saw about the medal winners from India. We discussed about the origin of Paralympic Games. We discussed about International Paralympic Committee and we discussed about the host of Paralympic Games. And finally, we discussed about the categories of Paralympic Games. Now, let us move on to the next discussion. Now, look at this editorial. This editorial is regarding follow-ups. So, let us learn what is follow-ups? Why it is an important part of journalism? Let us discuss about it. The syllabus relevant to this article is displayed on the screen. Interested aspirants can go through it. First, what is a follow-up? See, follow-up in the context of journalism refers to a new story that provides additional information on a previously published article. For example, take the Afghanistan issue. On Monday, you are getting information regarding the Afghanistan issue. You are reading an article regarding the Afghanistan issue. After Monday, some additional articles are published on Afghanistan issue. These articles are called as follow-ups. New story which provides additional information on a previously published article. They are also called as supplementary stories. I hope aspirants can follow. See, follow-ups are very important. This is because they give extra details. These extra details can be new facts. It can also be about later developments. It can also be about reaction of the issues. This is why follow-ups are essential part of journalism. See, we cannot cover the entire story in one article because one story on its own may not properly cover all aspects of an event or all aspects of a controversy. There could be untouched side issues or later events which will need reporting. This is the main reason why follow-ups are an intrinsic part of journalism. Follow-ups provide continuity. It satisfies curiosity. It adds balance to the issue and it also covers the missed aspect of the controversy or issue. I hope aspirants can follow. This is why follow-ups are essential part of journalism. See, another important point is follow-up ensures accountability. See, accountability is an important part of governance. Only through follow-ups, we can ensure that the executive is delivering on their commitment or not. This is why follow-ups are essential for ensuring accountability. This is because only through follow-ups, we can get the specifics of the event or controversy. It informs public. Thereby, it ensures executive is delivering on their commitment or not. It is an important part of accountability. But recently, many medias are not publishing follow-ups of issues. This is because media wants to pursue trending news. Only through trending news, they can increase their viewership. They have become commercial. They do not want to cover about the past issues. They want to be a part of the news cycle. They want to cover the trending news. For example, take farmer's protest. See, when you go a few months back, almost all medias were covering about farmer's protest. This is because farmer's protest was a trending news at that time. So, every media was covering about the farmer's protest. But right now, only few medias are covering about farmer's protest. There is no follow-up on farmer's protest. The farmers are still protesting. There are still issues with the farm laws. But many medias are not showing interest. They want to cover only trending news. They want to cover about Afghanistan. They want to cover about Taliban and they are ignoring the farmer's protest. This is why this editorial has been written. In recent days, many medias are not pursuing follow-up articles. They want to cover only trending news. So, this can create problems. Without follow-ups, the controversy will be put away from the spotlight. People will stop showing interest on the issue. They will also be less informed on the issue. So, this can affect accountability. So, this is why this author has written this editorial. According to the author, only through follow-ups, we can keep the focus on accountability and all those in power accountable. To highlight this point, the author of the editorial has given a case study. See, this case study is very important. You can use this case study as value addition in your main's answer. This case study is regarding Boston Globe reporters. See, Boston Globe is a newspaper in the United States of America and this newspaper documented sexual abuse by Catholic priest. This is the case study. See, the reporters of this newspaper did a series of investigation and follow-ups regarding the sexual abuse by Catholic priest. They built a team. They built a database and they documented how many priests were involved in this crime. Through follow-ups, they covered entire aspect of the issues. Who were involved in these crimes? Who were involved in the cover-up? So, they covered all the aspects of the crime. This was possible only through follow-ups. This newspaper published lot of follow-up stories and it brought the scandal to the limelight. So, this case study is an important example to highlight the importance of follow-ups. Boston Globe reporters case study.  See, the Boston Globe received Pulitzer Prize for its investigation and follow-up articles. Another important point is this case study was made into a movie. The name of the movie is Spotlight. This movie won Best Picture Award at the Academy Awards. That is, it won an Oscar for Best Picture. Interested aspirants can see this movie. It is a brilliant movie. This movie will highlight the importance of follow-ups. So, the author of the editorial by citing this example has shown the importance of follow-ups to bring crimes to public attention. So, this shows that follow-ups are the best journalistic tool. It provides additional information to the public. It also establishes accountability. So, these are the important points highlighted in this editorial. See, this article discussion is very important from a mains perspective. In mains, you can expect a question regarding media reforms, how to reform the journalism in India. So, you can use this article as a value addition in your solution part of the mains answer. In solution, you can write the importance of follow-up to ensure journalistic integrity. And you can also cite the Boston Globe case study to stress your point. This is why the editorial discussions are very important. They provide a lot of value additions to your mains answer.

Even the Kerala government in 1971 included the participants of the rebellion in the category of freedom fighters. Now, we have a question. Where did this rebellion take place? See, this uprising took place in regions which are currently under the Malapuram district in North Kerala. The keyword Malapuram district in North Kerala. Okay? What were the causes behind this revolt? First, let us see about the local cause. See, locally, the peasants were not happy with the landlords and the British policies on revenue. The peasants of Malabar were paying high taxes. So, they were not happy with the landlords and the British policies. This was the first major local cause. Now, moving on to the national level cause. See, 1921 was the time of Kilafat movement. So, the national fervor and patriotism were running high. Also, in 1920, Gandhiji had also visited the Malabar and had spoken about the Kilafat cause. So, the unhappy peasants were inspired by the Kilafat movement. They were fascinated by the Gandhiji speech. So, this is the national cause. Kilafat movement and Gandhiji visit. See, when we are talking about Malabar rebellion, historians view it from different perspectives. Some historians view Malabar rebellion as an agrarian revolt. That is, disgruntled peasants revolting against landlords. Whereas, few historians view it from a religious angle. Muslims revolting against Hindus. So, they are viewing it from different perspectives. But for preliminary exam, let us view it as an agrarian revolt. Peasants standing up against landlords and British authority. Let us not get sucked into the controversy. Let us play it safe. Now, let us discuss the most important point of Malabar rebellion. Whether Gandhiji supported Malabar rebellion. See, initially, Gandhiji supported this revolt. Because initially, it was a non-violent movement and Gandhiji supported the revolt. But later, this rebellion turned into a violent one.
