Hello and welcome to another episode of the Private Property Home Shopper Show. Today we are showcasing an 8,295,000-yen home that boasts 8 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms and a 4-car garage. This home is situated in the leafy green suburbs of Brineston, close to all your major shopping centres, Sanson City, Foays Mall as well as Nickelway Shopping Centre. And then, if you're looking for upmarket schools, it's got them all. Crawford as well as Loneal Schools to name a few. So join me as we tour this incredible mega mansion. This is the Private Property Home Shopper Show. My name is Chad Rivera. Welcome home. Now this home is a mega mansion in all senses of the word. We've got over one kilometre squared of under-roof floor space, which leaves a lot to cover. So coming through this entry hall, you find yourself in this formal dining room area. A couple of really cool things here. One behind me, we've got the curtains closed, but also beautiful window there for you to look out onto the massive green grounds that we're going to be showing you in a moment. But right over here, I think it fits any single dining room area, specifically these former ones and this beautiful natural stone fireplace thrown right in here. Crackling fireplace, beautiful meals, really a nice place to be. But coming through these two doors, we find ourselves on opposite ends of a bar area. This bar area has access not only to the dining room area, but also your lounge area, your informal sitting room area, as well as another dining room area. So I think it is beautifully situated to cater for all of the different areas in a home this big. We've got down lighting and stunning natural stone countertops as well. These stone countertops continue in the kitchen, which is right through that door. But plenty of under-counter storage, space for appliances and also your one prep sink over there with an adjustable nozzle for the tap. And this bar extends across so you can put seating all the way in here, tucked in nicely. Yeah, we've got your lounge area again. Really, really nice down lighting, beautiful large tiles making the space feel even more open and airy. Specifically since it's a nice light colour, so I really do like that. Down lighting, staircase over here, natural wood as well. And this wood, you should see the continuation of this design element in the rooms. You've got real raw wood flooring, really, really nice. I do like it. Windows looking out to the back of the home, but also leaving in a lot of natural light. And this doorway over here leading off into your staff quarters, as well as it giving you access to your four-car garage.  No need to worry about the elements. Against the wall right over here, you can see all of your security elements, your air conditioning, as well as your smart home access controls there. And here we are in one of the nicest sun rooms I think I've seen in a while and specifically in Brineston. This sunroom also has another feature wall containing a closed off smokeless fireplace. You can see this window here, you can light up a night fire, a nice fire. Not worry about that smoke penetrating into this large open area here. We've got not one, not two, but three skylights. These skylights are actually windows that you'll notice on the upstairs veranda. And that lets in even more natural light. Making this feel very, very airy. But also it is quite spacious. I must admit they've done so well with the indoor, outdoor living plan in this home. Even though it is more of a farm style slash home spun mansion, it still does feel very airy, not dark at all. This is your second dining room area. Again, really cool lighting. But I love these doors spanning the whole length of the room. All of them opening up, balcony. You can look over out onto your parkade. Or you can look over out onto that beautiful blue pool over there. The grounds outside are absolutely massive. Then one fireplace and two fireplaces isn't enough. You've got your bra area right here opening these doors. You don't need to worry about having to brave the elements either. You can have a nice South African tradition right over there. And then if we come to this section over here, I generally say no mansion is completed out of walking closet. But I have to take that back. All those episodes, I think I was lying, because no mansion is complete without your very own wine cellar. Let's go down the stairs and take a quick look at it. And coming down this flight of stairs, we finally find ourselves in this underground wine cellar. But it's not really underground. And then I think it's one of the coolest features of it. Because if I come around here, you can see these little porthole windows actually looking almost eye level onto your parkade. So as you peek out the ground all of your parkade is right here. You can take a look at who's coming to visit.  I promise you all these shelves were full before I got here. Then if we talk about some other features here, we've got plug points space for under counter storage as well as under counter appliances. So if you'd like to refrigerate your drinks and you don't want to drink them room temperature, it is sorted. Another quite cool feature is this right over here. You've got inbuilt speakers in the roof. So you can pump some ambience in here.  But the wine salle is now complete. It's time to venture back upstairs. Take a look at this incredible kitchen. And then it's journey across the rest of the home. And yeah, we are all the way back into the lounge area. And this time we're gonna address what is up this staircase because there's even more to see upstairs. We've got a big open area here. An area that you can really do with as you see fit. Right now it has been perfectly customized for a TV room or your very own cinema room. We've got a server rack over here. Lighting running the length of both the walls. And then TV as well as mounting point for your projector there. Nice and spacious. You can throw in some more couches. You can throw in some sofas, maybe some bean bags, make it even more cozy. Over here, we've got another lounge area. Maybe you don't want the cinema. Maybe this time you'd like to sit down, relax and just enjoy TV or turn this into an office. Maybe an upstairs pajama lounge. You've got all the space over here. We've got one but two exits leading out to your veranda which we're gonna show you in a moment. But leading down this passage are more bedrooms. Let's take a look. Coming down that passage where you are greeted with a bedroom on the left and right. Both of them with no cupboards so they can make perfect play areas, office areas or because of the size of the two you can easily put in freestanding cupboards. All of these bedrooms do come with built-in speakers in the ceiling if you've got a ceiling in them. Otherwise, you've got the farm style bedrooms that are just as beautiful with the lattice work running across the ceiling, down lighting, air conditioning as well as, as I did mention, those down firing speakers. The last bedroom located in this section mirrors that latticing, the farm style elements, really beautiful, lots of light streaming in from the garden area as well as a recessed nook for those freestanding cupboards that I did mention. All of these three bedrooms are serviced by a bathroom located in the corner. This time another one of those freestanding, beautiful jacuzzi baths. You've got a walk in shower as well as a single vanity and toilet and then two cantilevered windows opening outwards looking down onto the backside of the home. And now it's time to talk kitchen meal prep or entertainment. This kitchen has it all. So you can see the massive size. We've got beautiful scent island under counter storage and a continuation of that really nice natural stone. And within the stone, you can see all these veins of crystal or quartz, beautiful countertop. Yeah, we are right back to where we started that being the formal dining room area, this being your kitchen. So if you're entertaining right there, it's out and right into your dining room. If your guests do need the bathroom right over here is your guest bathroom. You've got a single vanity, a walk in showers while it's toilet storage space over there. Now a long hallway that has openings, these beautiful doors opening out onto an outside patio that will serve all the bedrooms over here. Our first bedroom is right over here. You've got your cupboard space and plenty and plenty of space for your beds. And over here is its twin. Both of them have got doors that open outwards onto your beautiful green grounds and both of them do have their very own cupboard space. And on my left is the bathroom that will serve these two. And two bedrooms do require a king-sized bathroom. And here it is. You've got cupboards over here for your linens, a massive jacuzzi bath, sunken into this raised platform, really nice windows that are privacy shaded but letting a lot of natural light, a heated towel rack, your single vanity. And if you do need it, you've got your shower right over there with the toilet behind me. But now it's time for us to talk about the king suite that's located downstairs. And it is right over here. It's very own, not only access to the garden, but your very own outside, I'd say personal patio. Walking through, this would be your sleeping area, bed here, plenty of space, beautiful live brick featured wall, and then not one, but two ways to access the outside. Then if you're looking for your third way to access your very own private garden, that would be right over here. And you know how much I love jacuzzi. So your very own jacuzzi, all walled off for privacy. There's a door there for you to get out to your garden if you need. But space here for you to have a little breakfast nook. And then if you'd wanna shower off outside, not one, but two of your very own outdoor showers. You've got this gigantic tree right over here, all of this greenery. It is a stunning outdoor area. And even space for your very own personal fountain. How's that for a nice touch? But coming back into this master suite, as I did mention, master suites need to have their very own walking closet, and yours is right over here. You've got a closet that spreads off to the right, as well as the left cupboard space all over there, cupboard space over here. And right over here is this place for you to get changed with a nice, beautiful mirror. And there we have it. We are outside on this outdoor veranda pretty much every single one of the bedrooms, as well as these two living areas, sits and opens out onto this outside veranda, looking out onto your beautiful luscious green garden, as well as that incredible pool. If you'd like to be the next owner of this incredible home, what I'd like you to do is contact Lenkov, all of their details are on screen right now, as well as in the description of this video, and make an offer to purchase, or even set up an appointment to come view this masterpiece yourself. But for myself, Chad Rivera's the team at the Private Property Home Shopper Show. Thank you so much for tuning in every Friday at 8 p.m., and we will see you again very, very soon. Goodbye.

Good morning everyone. Welcome to the New Jersey Fiber Exchange, or NJFX virtual press conference. And the company is opening of its first Tier 3 location campus. Can everyone hear me alright? Okay, wonderful.  I'm Jamie Stato-Gutaya, JSA, the PR firm on record for NJFX. And we're here thankful for you to join us at the NJFX New Campus. A couple of quick notes on logistics before we begin. First, to refrain from any questions for him until after his brief presentation. Two, if you'd like to ask questions verbally, go ahead and click on the orange hand icon. And that will raise your virtual hand. We will then unmute you and you can go ahead and ask your question. Three, if you'd like to type in any questions that you may have, you can do so in the question field. And we'll read it out loud and have Gil respond to it accordingly. Four, if you have any other questions or suggestions, feel free to chat to me or the NJFX team right in that chat box. Alright, we will be sending you the slides that Gil reviews right after this call. So don't worry about taking notes, we'll send those over to you. And we do have a half hour schedule, so let's just go ahead and get right into it. Let me introduce you. My pleasure to introduce you to Mr. Gil Santelis. He is the founder and chief executive officer of NJFX. Brief background on Gil. Gil was previously the CEO and founder and managing member of Four Connections LLC, a metro fiber network provider. He founded in 2001. Under Gil's leadership, Four Connections pioneered the deployment of towered metro fiber services for both New Jersey and New York City. And in 2008, Gil successfully exited the business in a preemptive transaction with Optimum Lightback, a wholly owned subsidiary of Cablevision. Prior to founding Four Connections, Gil had over two decades of communications and industry expertise, including the general manager of a joint venture company between GPU, telecom, and telegy. He also had several management positions in the Williams Company, PSC, and G. And of course he began his career at MCI. To tell us more about his most recent endeavors, notably his great campus here in Wall Township, New Jersey, it's my honor to introduce you to Mr. Gil Santelis. Gil. Great, thank you, and welcome to Wall in New Jersey. It seems just like yesterday that we sold Four Connections to Cablevision like that, and had a credible team of individuals that went on to do great things as well. Two of the members of my past team, Enzo Permanente, Mike Severit, now include Jim Marchini, went on to form a company called Cross River that builds dark fiber today in New Jersey. But back then when we started the business of dark fiber in New Jersey, there weren't many of us doing that. And what we found is as we grew, there were certain parts of New Jersey and New York that needed fiber infrastructure. And one of the areas that was left out and was considered untouchable was in a national cable landing station. So when I sold the business in 2008, I knew that that had to be fixed. I'm not going to say I didn't enjoy my life the last eight years. The first five years, I really focused on my family, looking on the golf game. But after that, I realized that there wasn't need in the marketplace. And the marketplace needed to have fiber infrastructure, not brought to places where traditional cables go to after they ran, but actually go to where they actually originate. The first and last stop in the United States. So today we stayed in Walnut Jersey, where how does cables come in from Europe? Two cables, TGN-1, TGN-2. And soon to be, we have the Seabrocks cable coming into Brazil. It's the first cable ever from Brazil to North America randomly direct. Traditionally they stop in Florida where they hit the Caribbean. The Seabrocks cable, of which sparkle is brought from capacity, is going to be the express cable being down to Brazil. So I put my slide over. I'll give you a quick overview of the building that we're sitting in today. This building is a purpose-based facility. It's not a van burger that's limited to a telco hotel. It's an office building in Lower Manhattan that plays telco hotel. In front of a building that was something else. This building is built to be a carrier neutral tier three facility. Now what does that mean? We're sitting in a building that has 12-inch thick walls with concrete and steel. We've got roof top units with 90 tons of cleaning times three on the roof with a million pounds of capacity. We've got generators that can go six across with 2.5 megawatts. 10 megawatt design facility. That's something that's never been done before at a Canadian landing station.  But this campus now, this NJFX campus, consists of the following thing. The building we sit in, tier three site, that will help Tata have its customers be able to be doing better services now with this building located with it. We also have the actual landing station at Tata still owns. We also have the NJFX meeting room which is operated independently of Tata which allows anyone to connect to any room. And that's the facility we're in, the campus that we're on, both buildings combined. The next slide shows you an idea of how this really works. And that's the job that NJFX is trying to accomplish. We want the world to understand that these cables shouldn't be mysterious in terms of how they cross the ocean. They shouldn't be mysterious in terms of how you get access to it. We've made it good and clear for our carrier customers with light path, light tower, the nieces, wind stream, the day-o, to be able to come here directly to provide their customers now access to the cable landing stations, whether it's for the villa destination or whether it's the UK. They need to know, and their question needs to know, how does this really work? The idea of having a failure in one location, somewhere in this country, somewhere in this area, and everyone going down is unacceptable. We've had the issues of past of 9-11, we've had the issues of standing, and we all know how vulnerable we've become. 20, 30 years ago, it was electricity. Today, I tell you it's communication. If we don't have internet access and communications, we have a problem in our country. We depend on everything that we do for it. So, the next slide kind of walks through our value proposition for the marketplace. There's a couple of ways that we accommodate our customers. The first is by allowing the carrier of choice that they would like to have, design a route that goes from their location, whether they're going to pick the traffic up and see profit reconnect, or they're going to pick it up in Ashburn, Virginia, or they're going to pick it up in Chicago, they're going to pick it up at the New York Stock Exchange, at the New Jersey. Wherever it is they want to start, they want to say work with your carrier and get direct access to where we sit today. You can easily connect to these dusty tables. As a matter of fact, we've made it in an effort to have the other tables that land within two and three miles of this facility. We're also now going to come here as well. In the land here from the definition of called the New York Stock Exchange, called NASDAQ, you can now decide if it's the carrier destination, South Hollow, the UK, or the Caribbean. And there's no more mystery. We're the secure site with redundant carriers running over services. The other part that we do as well is I've got many friends from an Anaheim community that I've spent some time with, and I've been to some of their events, and I've sat in meetings where they said, why are we all sitting here in a room in Manhattan City? We service 22 million people from this room in Manhattan location. We pick another place to pee. A place that possibly is meant for peering and has access to potential international as well. We're not. We would love to host those folks. We would love to create a peering fabric in this facility that allows us to have our internet society, internet, nanos, folks be able to safely, cost-effectively connect to each other. The model that we've chosen is one that tell its first embrace. When they first started, it was a real escape plan. The way they viewed the marketplace was, you're renting space for me, whether it's a rack or whether it's a home run cable or space on a meeting room cabinet that we have for you. It's a very simple model. We don't compete with our customers, and we don't charge you every time, every month, because of someone else. As a matter of fact, we celebrate when we connect to the people. One of the things that we've done in our facility is we've created a fiber vault room where we take a picture of every splice when it comes to the facility. We call them the unsung heroes. These are folks that connect to networks around the world but no one notices them. And the way they connect those networks and those good splices make it so much easier because they've got an advantage to looking for, whether it's 100 megabytes, 100 gigabytes of terabytes. We have corn in the building today. They've lit up their network. They're doing lip services now with light pass. And they're promoting today and tomorrow. They could do a terabyte in a single appliance. It's about three inches thick. We are you. So the world changing, we're adapting. What we're trying to really do is make sure that our country and other countries always have international capacity. We don't have to rely on traditional legacy infrastructure buildings or having to cross the Holland Tunnel twice to be able to get there in our national capacity. The last slide is basically the one I'm looking at. It's breaking traditional communications infrastructure mold. I kind of said this before, but what we're really doing is saying you don't have to do things the old way. There's a new option for a new solution. You can pick a carrier. You can come to our facility. We can help you connect with subsea providers. You can take off the mystery of how communication works in our country, other countries. We make the introductions in the room we're sitting in here, our conference room. There's international characters, sparkles. International countries, it's GloVeNet. Be broad and say, let's walk around the center on the table and talk a little bit about what we really do. We make sure that the customer understands that I provide subsea traffic, but in this case, I don't do any country traffic. Here's what I do for you. We're opening up a communication to be able to have people describe exactly if they're doing things. So, in summary, we'd like to have you come down for a visit. We're having our grand opening tomorrow. Commissioning happens in the next 45 days. We decided to celebrate with an icon of speed, Mario Landretti. Product communications has been great supporting us with a 401 virtual reality machine, and we kind of tease about this. We do have ten Formula One helmets and we saw it have Mario Landretti go first and set the bar. If anyone can beat Mario Landretti, get this signed helmet by Mario Landretti saying you beat me today from the Formula One demo machine. We'd have some fun with it, but again, please come down and join us for your back. Thank you. And thank you, Gil, for that wonderful, wonderful presentation. We will be opening it up for questions now. So, let me click that hand icon and we'll call on you for an audio question or you can type in your questions in the question fields. We are looking and watching to see if there's any questions. We do have one question here. Gil, if you could tell us who is your primary customer base? So, as you know, facilities like this, we can't always describe the names of the customers by any of the categories. And obviously, the OTTs are a big player in this marketplace. The OTTs have realized that this is an important place to be and before NGFX got here, they were already here. So, as part of our mission, we inherited nine customers in the building day one. We have providers in the last six months, Light Path and Light Tower and Windstream is offered to their services. They can share with you. But enterprise customers, start-by-providers, those are all the ones we have in our facility. Wonderful. And can you talk to us a little bit more about eliminating the need for traditional backhaul? So, think of it this way. When a cable comes across the ocean, it's not going to be anywhere from half a billion to a billion dollars. But then transitions over to a pair of fibers that goes on to the parkway, the turnpike, over the haul and tunnel. So, the cost comparison and the kind of care that goes into that cable is the one across the ocean doesn't make any sense. So, the thing is, when a billion-dollar cable shows up in this country, when we have these nine and ten different cables picking it up, when we have ten routes leaving this building, I make sure that I got a company like Gelmast involved. It does a lot of the engineering design work and the carriers that I mentioned before. And the sooner a carrier comes to this building with facilities, she makes sure to say, can you walk us through the route? And if you're looking very similar to someone else, we're going to recommend you take a different route. Because why have a situation when you have one pole, one manhole, and a catastrophe can happen in that one manhole, we're going to lose all connectivity. So, what we've basically done is said no longer a pair of fibers is enough to keep the manufacturing back to New York City or somewhere else, you better have several different cables managed by seven different operators. And therefore, how they integrate and how they operate is completely different. Right. Any other questions?  One last question here. Can you tell us a little bit more about the exact location of the campus and how we might get in touch with you if you're interested in taking up space? Sure. When you come here, you'll see there isn't any names or logos outside. It's a street location. The address on our website is 1410 Walt Church Road. We've completely inspected and guarded 2077. We're a critical infrastructure site for New Jersey and the federal government. So, visitors have to be planned at some point in the site. We are having an event and the event is allowing us to hatch guests for one day. But traditionally, we don't allow guests to come here without having prior written or noticed and we check them in ID. But again, for the press, tomorrow is inspection day. We will have law police supporting us, security supporting us. We will check IDs. We will have cameras and we're welcome to come here like 30 days a week. Wonderful. So, if folks are looking to get more information and how they can reach out, connect and make those appointments, if they're not coming here, kind of grand opening tomorrow, they would check out NJFX.net. That's NJFX as in New Jersey, FiverrExchange.net. Gil, thank you for joining us. My pleasure. As always, Jamie, I've enjoyed our history together and I'm proud to be here with you and I hope to see you again. Thank you, Gil. Our connections was a wonderful run and we're proud to be back part of the team for NJFX. And if you guys have any more questions, oh, wait, sorry, we do have one more question. This is by John Manoff. John's asking, said seat cables have been around a long time. Why is now the right time for this to happen? Good question, John. Thank you. Sure. You know, it should have always been done this way. No one was thinking about how to do it. And getting facilities here at Table Landing Station is not easy because no one did this kind of planning. We got lucky in this case, Tata built the second building foundation. She just took the building up. So when Tata, when bankrupt, compared to the second building, Tata didn't make the investment. So we partnered to buy the land from Tata and put this facility up. So really the same type of thinking was through having a second facility there. And then Tata was, you know, insightful to realize the value of doing this and realize that carrier neutral makes more sense and let us buy the land from them and interconnect the two buildings together. And along with detail is the buildings are on campus because we have four PO wheels on board and three interconnects and then two bypass each other. So it's really a network haven for those that like to manage diversity. And the last thing I would add too is we've seen an explosion in transatlantic capacity requirements and now we're seeing lots of new tables coming across the ocean for the first time since 2001. The timing is perfect. Timing is right. The facility is here and we're really looking forward to watching you rock it out to NJFX Kill-Sanctlis style. So thank you. Thank you. And without any other questions thank you again everyone for participating and thank you for joining us here at the NJFX virtual press conference. Have a good day.


Welcome to the Hindu News Analysis by Shankarayi's Academy. Displied are the list of news articles taken for today's analysis and their page numbers in different editions of the newspaper. The link for the handwritten notes in the PDF format and the time stamping of the discussed articles are provided in the description and also in the comments section for the benefit of mobile phone viewers. Now let's move on to the analysis of first news article. This news article talks about a decision by Supreme Court to examine a contempt petition against the Chief Election Commissioner and leaders of prominent political parties. The petition is about not fully adhering to the order of the Supreme Court regarding allowing of individuals with criminal background to contest in elections. This is the order that was against criminalization of politics. Simply know that when we say criminalization of politics, it refers to the fact that persons with criminal antecedents are contesting in an election, winning the election and becoming legislators or ministers of various departments or ministries. But the information regarding criminalization of politics is not available. That is with reference to the political parties, the person selected for contesting, these are not available. So Supreme Court has previously given many directions in its judgments to bridge the gap in the information regarding criminalization of politics because these information play a very important role so that the voters could take informed decision on the day of election by registering their vote. One such judgment was given in February 2020 in the case law called as Ram Babu Singh Thakur versus Sunil Arora and others. Now let's see their directions in this particular case law given by the Supreme Court. The first direction is that it shall be mandatory for political parties at the central election level and also at the state election level to upload the detailed information regarding selected candidates who have pending criminal cases. Such uploaded information should include the nature of the offenses and relevant particulars like whether charges have been framed or not, which is the concerned court in the set case, then what is the case number and other details. Also this information has to be uploaded in the website of the political party. It should be uploaded along with the reasons for such selection. That is, why a person with criminal background has been selected as candidates by the political party. In addition to this, the political parties should also mention the reason as to why other individuals who do not have criminal antecedents could not be selected as candidates. Now the reasons for selection of candidates shall be with reference to the concerned candidates qualifications achievements and merit. Now that means the reason for the selection of the individual as candidate should not be just based on winnability at the polls. This was the second direction. We can say that the political parties have to publish the entire criminal history of their candidates for the assembly election and also for Lok Sabha election along with the reasons that encouraged these political parties to field suspected criminals over decent individuals. Now the next direction is regarding publishing of such information. We just saw that the information should be first published in the website of the political party. Then it should also be published in one local vernacular newspaper and one national newspaper. Then it should be published on the official social media platforms of the political party. This includes even Facebook, Twitter, pages of the particular party. Now we are ensuring that these details are to be published because everyone you know the voters should know about their candidates first before taking an informed decision. More importantly these details should be published within 48 hours of their selection and it shall be published two weeks before the first date for filing of nominations whichever period is earlier among these two and at that time these details have to be published. But today's news is that this direction has been willfully disobeyed by political parties in the Bihar elections. It is alleged that the parties publish the details of their candidates in only one Hindi newspaper. In addition, they have given similar or repeated reasons for their choice of candidates. We can find reasons like popularity of the person, social work, educational background have shown a good effort in handling the COVID-19 crisis. It seems that they have not given the details of the social work or the details of the educational background etc. Now another repeated reason was that the cases were filed against the selected individuals out of political vendetta and these cases were filed because of rival political parties. So they have not given a clear description of what they were mandated to do by the Supreme Court. Then the remaining directions are you know the concerned political party shall submit a report of compliance with these above directions of the Supreme Court. This has to be submitted to the election commission within 72 hours of selection of a particular candidate and more importantly if a political party fails to submit this compliance report with the election commission then the election commission can bring such non-compliance of a political party to the notice of the Supreme Court. Such non-compliance will be deemed as contempt of Supreme Court's orders or directions and based on this direction only a contempt petition has been filed against as reported in the news article and it seems that even the chief election commissioner has also failed in complying with parts of the order. Now let's move on to the analysis of next news article. This news article is based on a recently released report. The report is titled as Traffic Crash Injuries and Disabilities The Burden on Indian Society. This report was recently published by the World Bank in collaboration with Safe Life Foundation. It is important that we have to take note of two SDG targets under two SDG goals in relation to preventing deaths from road accidents and in relation to road safety. If you take goal number three ensuring good health and well-being there is a target 3.6. It states by 2020 half the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents. When you come to goal number 11 to make cities and human settlements inclusive safe resilient and sustainable there is target 11.2. It states that by 2030 provide access to safe affordable accessible sustainable transport systems for all then improving road safety notably by expanding public transport and here special attention should be given to the needs of those in vulnerable situations who are women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons. Some vital road crash statistics from this report in the context of the world and specific to our country is given here for your reference. You can find that around 13 lakh people die because of road crashes every year around the world. In India more than 400 deaths are happening in a single day because of road accidents or road crash. Though India has just 1% of world's vehicles it accounts for 11% of all road accident deaths and 6% of total road crashes. The report highlights that there are more deaths from road crashes among poor families rather than the rich. Also the low-income households they have reported twice the number of deaths after the road crash in comparison with high-income households. Then the risk of a victim undergoing disability after a crash was also two times more likely among poor families. So in this context the report provides valid suggestions to India under six broad themes. Today let us focus only on some of the important suggestions. We usually get main questions that are asked about what are your suggestions to improve something. Here in this context what are your suggestions to improve road safety provide some valid measures related to road safety etc. The first theme is to enhance effectiveness of institutional mechanisms and awareness building then to institutionalize post-crash emergency care and to make health infrastructure and coverage more accessible and inclusive then to provide social security nets for crash victims from low-income households then to create an accessible legal framework for availing insurance and compensation by the road crash victims then to address the disproportionate gender impact of road traffic injuries through participative governance and special schemes for women then to strengthen post-accident support for children and young adults through state support. Now here we have one component that is to address disproportionate gender impact of road traffic injuries. What are we referring to? See in terms of gender road crashes or road accidents impact women differently from that of men. See 86 percent of total road crash victims are male compared to 14 percent of women. This is according to Ministry of Road Transportation Highways in a report published in 2018. How this number affects? See this complicates the scenario after the accident where the burden of caregiving activities burden of earning the income for the family almost falls on the women of those households where a male suffers an injury or where a male dies due to road crash. So there is different impact. This has to be sufficiently addressed. That's what they are saying under theme number five. Now let's come to first enhancing effectiveness of institutional mechanisms and awareness building. Here they are saying that it should be made mandatory for all states to publish their targets on road safety. Every year this is required so that their performance can be measured against these targets. Then the police authorities have to be sensitized and trained in relation to the rights of these victims that are the road crash victims and other road users. Here we are talking about the rights of bystanders. Police officials are involved in investigation and also in enforcing rules under Motor Vehicles Act. So they have to be sensitized. In fact they should be trained to support these crash victims, road crash victims and their families. Then all state governments have actually created a committee called as District Road Safety Committee. This is as per Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. To be precise this was done in 2018 as per the instructions of the Supreme Court Committee on Road Safety which is based on a repetition. The challenge here is the roles and responsibilities of these committees are not yet standardized. So standardization has to be done and the roles and responsibilities of these committees should be made measurable, reportable and also verifiable so that we can measure the effectiveness of these committees in ensuring road safety. And as we know Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019 it has proposed a board called as National Road Safety Board. However it is not yet constituted. So the report calls to constitute this body so as to ensure coordination between different stakeholders and also to perform various functions as mandated by the law. Now with reference to post-crash emergency care and making health infrastructure and coverage more accessible and inclusive, the report calls for lowering out-of-pocket expenditure particularly in the context of low-income households. The report finds that out-of-pocket expenses was the most significant direct cost that is borne by victim families, particularly among the low-income households. Now we have given you various suggestions of the report under all the six themes for your reference. If you take theme number three, there is a suggestion that is to support to continue education. Here we are talking about government creating specific schemes so as to ensure that children belonging to the households that are impacted because of road crashes should continue their education.  So therefore the children are made to come out of education and they have to earn for their family. Now this scenario should stop. Government should step in. These children must be able to continue their education. That's what they are trying to say. So these are some of the important points with reference to the analysis of this news article. Now let's move on to the next part of the discussion. This news article describes three important observed characteristics of Mars. These characteristics were observed through scientific investigations. See researchers have observed water vapor in the thin atmosphere of Mars. Now this provides new clues as to whether Mars could have once hosted life. Then they have also found traces of ancient valleys and river channels in Mars. Now this suggests that liquid water once flowed across Mars' surface and in present the water in Mars is mostly locked up as ice. But it is found that some of it is vaporizing in the form of hydrogen leaking from the atmosphere. February 2021 becomes important for this red planet Mars for two reasons. One is that the first Arab interplanetary mission spacecraft called as AL AMAL of United Arab Emirates has entered the orbit of Mars on 9th February. See it is an orbiter mission. Now this makes United Arab Emirates as the fifth space agency to reach the planet and know that UAE plans for Mars settlement of human beings by 2017-80. The name of the mission is AL AMAL meaning hope. It will be the first true weather satellite at Mars according to NASA and it will provide the first complete picture of Martian atmosphere and its layers. And UAE has become the second nation in history to succeed in placing a spacecraft into the Martian orbit on their very first attempt or in their maiden attempt. So who is the first nation in history to succeed in placing a spacecraft in Martian orbit on the very first attempt? We are the first nation. It is India. India's Mangalyan was the first Mars mission in the world to succeed Mars orbit insertion in the first attempt. See Mangalyan was India's first venture in interplanetary space and our achievement is also portrayed on the reverse side of 2000 rupee note. Now what is the other important happening with reference to Mars in February? See on the very next day of UAE entering Mars orbit that is on 10th February China's Tianwen-1 spacecraft also enters the Mars orbit. This China's mission is orbiter rover mission. In about three months the spacecraft will attempt to send a landing capsule that will carry a rover onto a massive plane on Mars. This plane is called as Utopia Planetia that is on the northern hemisphere of Mars. So it's an orbiter rover mission that is aspirated by China. Now it has reached the Mars atmosphere. So these are some of the information with reference to Mars and the current significant events associated with it. Now let's move on to the next part of the discussion. This question corner in science and technology page deals with the question can tail hair of elephants reveal their stress levels? Now the tough of hair at the end of an elephant's tail usually helps to kill insects so as to protect itself from them. The researchers have now found that this hair can be used to study the health of elephants particularly the stress levels. By studying the growth rate of this tail hair and by studying the levels of immunoreactive cortisol in this hair researchers now say that tail hair can be used to assess stress in the life of this animal. See cortisol is a stress hormone which is generally studied with reference to various animals so as to decode the stressful past events. Now by this study it is found out that use of tail hair is an alternative matrix to reconstruct the physiological history of elephants. Now it is also further clarified that by studying cortisol along with other biomarkers in the hair particularly the tail hair how various captive conditions have affected the animal or the elephant could also be assessed like housing grouping diet and how diseases have even affected the elephants. So they are concluding that analyzing hair cortisol levels along with other biomarkers like reproductive hormones can facilitate more meaningful biological interpretation of elephants life. So these are some of the information with reference to the analysis of news article. You know that tail hair of elephant is analyzed with reference to cortisol and stress levels so as to interpret the health of the animal the physiological history of the animal to decode the stressful past events of the animal. Now let's move on to next part of the discussion. Now see this news article it is in the context of Andhra Pradesh where the elections for panjayats are being conducted now. In this context you would remember that Andhra's state election commissioner was removed last year by the present state government through an ordinance. However the ordinance was later struck down by the high court of Andhra Pradesh. So there has been a friction between state election commissioner and the current ruling government of Andhra Pradesh. In this regard state election commissioner has recently ordered the enforcement authorities the police to file a case against minister of ruling party for making malicious attacks on state election commissioner. In this context let us see the constitutional provisions related to state election commission. See article 243 capital K of Indian constitution is related to state election commission and its powers. Now before discussing the provisions of article 243 capital K first let us see the need for a state election commission. See under the constitution the establishment of local self government institutions is the responsibility of the states. But many state governments were not serious about empowering panjayati raj institutions and the elections were not conducted regularly until 1990s. Therefore the constitution was amended through 73rd constitutional amendment act of 1992 so as to give powers to rural local bodies that are the panjayati raj institutions. And as we know there is also 74th constitutional amendment act of 1992 this is relating to municipalities are the urban local bodies. Now come to article 243 capital K whose provisions are given here for your reference. See as per this article the superintendents direction and control of preparation of electoral rules for the elections to the panjayats and the conduct of all elections to the panjayats shall be vested in a state election commission. And this commission consists of a state election commissioner who is appointed by the governor of the concerned state. And here are his conditions of service and tenure shall be determined by the governor. So therefore the conditions of service and tenure may vary from state to state. But state election commissioner can be removed from the office only in the manner and grounds prescribed for the removal of a judge of a high court. See a judge of a high court shall be removed from office only by an order of the president. And this order of the president should be passed after an address by each house of parliament that is supported by a majority of total membership of that house and by a majority of not less than two-thirds of members of that house present in voting. And this address which is passed has to be presented to the president in the same session for the removal on the ground of proved misbehavior or proved incapacity. So this provision which guarantees security of tenure to the judge of a high court is extended to the state election commissioners as well. The article 243 capital K also provides that the conditions of service of state election commissioner should not be varied to her disadvantage after her appointment. And according to this article on the request of the state election commission the governor of the state should make available the staff necessary for them to discharge the functions. What are the functions we are referring to that is preparation of electoral rules for all elections to the panchayats and conduct of all these elections to the panchayats. Then it also states that the state legislature can make laws with respect to all matters relating to elections to the panchayats subject to the provisions of the constitution. Therefore it can be said that the constitution has bestowed the state election commissioners with enough powers to superintendent the local body elections in a particular state and has also provided security of tenure by equating the removal process with that of high court judge. And in order to nullify the political revenge her or his conditions of service cannot be changed to disadvantage after the appointment. Earlier this provision in the constitution was tampered with by an ordinance by the Andhra Pradesh government and since it is against the constitution it was nullified by the Andhra Pradesh high court. Since then there is this tussle between the state election commission and the ruling government of Andhra Pradesh. So by analyzing this article we saw few important provisions mentioned in the constitution with reference to the state election commission. Now let's move on to the analysis of next news article. This news article talks about kyasanur forest disease. See it is a viral hemorrhagic fever which is endemic in karnataka. So there is a constant presence of this disease in the state of karnataka. The virus causing this disease is named as kyasanur forest disease virus. Now this is because the virus was first identified in kyasanur forest area of Shimoga district in the state of karnataka. It was first identified in 1957. It was identified in the black-faced langur and the red-faced bonnet monkey and therefore it is also referred as monkey fever by the local population. Autistic species with scientific name hemophysalis spiningera are the reservoir of this virus and once these species are infected they remain infected till the end of their life and they are able to pass this virus to their offspring through the egg also. If you talk about common hosts we can say rodents, shrews and mongies. They are common hosts after being bitten by an infected tick. Cattle are the important hosts for adult ticks but it is found that they develop neutralizing antibodies against kyasanur forest disease virus and this suppresses virus amplification.  And it is also reported that no person-to-person transmission has been described so far. While we say that this disease has a constant presence in the state of karnataka it is also reported in Kerala in the recent times particularly we can find cases since 2012-13. The cases were also reported from Tamil Nadu, Goa, Government of India reports that the virus were also found in Saurashtra region in Gujarat state then in forested regions that are west of Kolkata in West Bengal and also found in Andaman islands. And note that there is no specific treatment available for this particular disease. There is only supportive therapy which includes maintenance of hydration and usual precautions for patients with bleeding disorders. It is important for us to know who are at the risk of exposure. People with recreational exposure or occupational exposure to rural or outdoor settings within the state of karnataka are potentially at risk because they may come in contact with the infected ticks. For example, we can say hunters, herders, forest workers and farmers who carry out their occupation in this area they are at risk. According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seasonality is another important risk factor as they report that more cases are reported during a specific time period. So these are some of the information with reference to the analysis of this news article. Now let's move on to next part of the discussion. This news article talks about a statement made by Chief Justice of Madras High Court at a workshop on negotiation skills and mediation advocacy. The CJ also announced the upgrading of Thaluk level services committee as a District Legal Services Authority. The news article also mentions the term National Legal Services Authority. In this context let us see some important provisions of the Legal Services Authority Act of 1987 which established National Legal Services Authority. See this law it was enacted to constitute legal services authorities at various levels. The objective is to provide free and competent legal services to the weaker sections of the society. By this we can ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen by reason of economic or other disabilities. Then they were constituted so as to organize local adults to secure that the operation of legal system promotes justice on the basis of equal opportunity. If you take constitution we can find article 39 capital A which deals with equal justice and free legal aid. It is one of the directive principles of state policy. Here the states are secure that the operation of legal system promotes justice on the basis of equal opportunity and the state shall also provide free legal aid by suitable legislation or schemes so as to ensure that opportunities are not denied to any citizen to secure justice by reason of economic or other disabilities. This Act came into force in November 1995 after a few amendments were made in the original piece of legislation and the Act establishes National Legal Services Authority then at the state level it establishes State Legal Services Authority and for every High Court there is a High Court Legal Services Committee and there is also District Legal Service Authority at the level of district and also Thaluk Legal Services Committee at the level of Thaluk's. In general they will give effect to the policies and directions of National Legal Services Authority then provide free legal aid to the eligible beneficiaries and also to conduct Lok Adalat in their appropriate jurisdictions. For example a state level Legal Services Authority conducts Lok Adalat at the level of state whereas a district level Legal Services Authority organizes Lok Adalat within the district. See when we say Lok Adalat it refers to an alternative dispute redressal mechanism. It is a forum where disputes or cases that are pending in the court of law or the disputes or cases that are at pre-litigation stage these are settled or compromised amicably. See Lok Adalats have been given statutory status under the Legal Services Authority Act of 1987. Note that this compromise is not applicable to non-compoundable offenses. Non-compoundable offenses are those offenses for which there cannot be a compromise and coming to Lok Adalat see the persons who are deciding the cases in these Adalats they are called as members of Lok Adalats. They have the role of statutory conciliators only and they do not have any judicial role therefore they can only persuade the parties to come at a conclusion so as to settle the dispute outside the court. So Lok Adalat is a mechanism outside the court of law and these members they cannot pressurize or force any of the parties to compromise or to settle cases either directly or indirectly. Now with reference to National Legal Services Authority which is constituted under section three of the Act it is the apex body that monitors and evaluates the implementation of legal aid program and it also lays down necessary policies and principles for making the legal services available and section 12 of the Act it prescribes the criteria for persons who are eligible to enjoy the legal services that are ensured by this legislation and we know that last year there was a prelims question with reference to who are eligible to avail free legal services from the legal services authorities. The details of the eligible persons are given here for your reference. So those persons who satisfy any or all of the criteria they will be entitled to enjoy legal services provided the concerned authority is satisfied that the person has a preliminary case or a prima facie case to prosecute or to defend. If the legal services authority is satisfied then it provides the person with the counsel at the expense of the government or the state then it also provides the required court fee in the matter and it bears all incidental expenses in connection with the case and the person to whom legal aid is provided is not called to spend anything on the litigation once it is supported by a legal services authority. Earlier there was a major drawback in the scheme of organization of Lok Adalats however this was settled by way of an amendment called as the legal services authorities amendment act of 2002. See the drawback was that the original Act said that Lok Adalats arrives at compromise or settlement between the parties and in case parties do not arrive at any compromise or settlement then the case is either return to the court of law or the parties are advised to seek remedy in a court of law. Now this may lead to unnecessary delay in the dispensation of justice it was felt particularly in relation to public utility services. So there was also a proposal that Lok Adalats must be given the power to decide the cases on merit in times when both parties fail to arrive at any compromise or settlement in the context of public utility services this was proposed so as to reduce the workload for the regular courts and also to settle such issues at the pre litigation stage itself that is before approaching the court itself. Therefore the principal act that is the legal services authorities Act of 1987 was amended and the amendment act set up a permanent Lok Adalats at various places so as to provide pre-litigative mechanism for cancellation and settlement of cases relating to public utility services and when we say public utility service it refers to transport service for the carriage of passengers or goods by air road or water it refers to postal service telephone service supply of power light or water to the public by any establishment then on public conservancy or sanitation then service in hospital or dispensary then insurance service and other service as notified by the appropriate governments either central government or appropriate state government and the amendment act clearly stated that when the parties fail to reach at an agreement the permanent Lok Adalats shall decide the dispute in case the dispute does not relate to any offense. All these were done by inserting a chapter called as chapter 6 capital A called as pre-litigation conciliation and settlement. So this amendment played a very important role in reducing the burden at the regular courts for filing various compromisable disputes particularly in the reference of public utility services. So these are some of the important provisions with reference to the analysis of this news article now let's move on to next part of the discussion. This news article talks about commencement of 11 hour boat ride on Hoogli River by the West Bengal Transport Corporation. This context let's see some facts related to river Hoogli and its parent river Ganga. See Hoogli river is a long distributory of river Ganga. The river is located in West Bengal river splits from river Ganga as a canal in Murshidabad district at the Farakha barrage drains into Bay of Bengal. We can see while it drains it is very closer to Sagar Island and coming to its parent river Ganga we know that it has got largest river base in India that constitutes 26% of country's land mass and that supports around 43% of India's population. It rises in the Gangodri glacier in the Himalayas in the state of Uttarakhand at the Uttarkashi district. At its source point the river is called as Bhagirathi. The river flows down the valley up to Devprayag. At Devprayag the river joins with another hill stream called as Alaknanda. After joining the river is called as Ganga. Now coming to the basin of river Ganga it outspreads not only in India but also in Tibetan part of China then also in Nepal and Bangladesh and these are the states in which and Ganges basin covers these states and the unit territory of Delhi in India. See the basin is bounded by Himalayas on the north on the west it is bounded by Aravili and on the south it is bounded by Vindyas and Chotanakpur Plateau and on the east it is bounded by Brahmaputra Ridge. Now this description might be important they may give the description and ask which river is bounded by. Correct answer would be River Ganga. See the principal tributaries that join the river from the right we can say Yamuna and the Son and the tributaries that join the river from the left we can say Ramganga, Gagra, Gandak, Kosi, Mahananda know that it is an east flowing river and it drains in Bay of Bengal. These are few information with reference to river Hoogley and its parent river Ganga. Now let's move on to next part of the discussion. We have come to the last session the practice questions discussion session. See this question the articles 129 and 142 of constitution of India provides for which of the following. Proclamation of president's rule in a state power of supreme court to punish for contempt of itself appointment of chief justice of India and judges of supreme court disqualifications of members of either house of parliament. Now there is an easy way to attain this question basically aspirants are expected to know from which provision to which provision each chapter is covered under constitution like from which provision to which provision fundamental rights is covered or from which provision to which provision union judiciary is covered etc. Articles 124 to 147 deals with union judiciary options A and D are not in relation with the union judiciary. Now remaining two options are with respect to the supreme court. Now the appointment of judges of supreme court including the chief justice of India comes under article 124 clause 2. So here the correct answer is option B. See under these articles the supreme court has the power to punish for contempt of itself and it is under these articles recently supreme court has issued directions regarding the criminalization of politics. So the correct answer is option B. This question is with reference to the motor vehicles amendment act 2019. The question reads as per the motor vehicles amendment act 2019 the national road safety board shall advise the central or the state governments on which of the following aspects pertaining to road safety and traffic management. Registration and licensing of motor vehicles formulation of standards for road safety road infrastructure and control of traffic the facilitation of safe and sustainable utilization of road transport ecosystem promotion of new vehicle technology the safety of vulnerable road users. See all these comes part of the advice that to be given by the national road safety board and know that this is as per section 215 capital B inserted into the principal act the motor vehicles act of 1988. The board actually can give advice on all aspects pertaining to road safety and traffic management. The board is not just restricted by these parameters that is why we see not limited to so the correct answer is option D. See this question with reference to elections for panchayat raj institutions. Two statements are given as per Indian constitution the super intense direction and control of all elections to panchayats in a state is vested with governor of the state. It is incorrect it is vested with the state election commission. The state election commission is appointed by president of India after consulting with the governor of the state concerned. It is incorrect the state election commissioner is appointed by the governor of the concerned state. So both the statements are wrong correct answer option D. See this description it is a disease endemic to a southern state of India hard ticks are its reservoirs cattle are the important hose for adult ticks but they also produce neutralizing antibodies against the disease causing virus which of the following diseases is described above. Correct answer is option A kyasanur forest disease. We have given a practice main's question in GS paper 2. You may write answers and post it in the comment section.

This is just raising more questions I'm getting no answers Okay, I managed to get a penny I'm sorry, dude, but this game is hard Wait, maybe I can use this coin I got to open this but no no no hold on hold on. Can we use yes? That's not a good idea user. I don't care what you think. All right. I got myself into this mess and I'm Gonna make it worse. Okay now. I'm seeing the game from the other side. Okay. I think I unblock the door Can can you get in there? Wait, hold on. I'm so confused. Okay. Can you get in? No? I do I have to go back here. Oh my god. Okay. Move this This is just gonna get harder and harder, isn't it? There we go door unblocked. I can't be expected to walk around in the dark Sherlock. I gotta do everything for these guys How do I get this going? There's a moon symbol that does that change it? Can I keep this in the daylight position? Okay? The machine that it's attached to is missing a cog. Where can I find a cog? And there we go. I found a cog that took me way too long How can I get the stamp wet if I could just get some Sherlock Holmes spit?  Thank you Stick it on there. Yes perfect power that bad boy up Perfect machine is a goal. Where's the fake moon going? Okay? It's in this room. Fantastic. Oh god. What's happening to him? Well done Watson. We can finally see better. Are you not surprised by what you're seeing here? God despite being Sherlock Holmes He's not that observant. Mr. Wilhelm. Are you dead? Yeah, he's not observant at all actually and it's serious. No, no He's just got a little bit of a viral thing. He'll get up in no time at all. It'll be fine I need that microscope. Give it to me. Can I bribe him? Look there take a penny in his condition I would prescribe aspirin. Yeah, or an obituary. You're one or the other? Okay, I just gave him a smack so you continue to hit him. Are they not overwhelmed by this? Oh wait the H Oh, I got a H. I needed a H earlier No, I need it for something. Yes this move fantastic. Is that a magnifying glass? It doesn't matter if it didn't make sense it worked. Yes, it unscrewed the magnifying glass fantastic Now we use this to read what's on here dev only dev is close enough to kev That's good enough for me down I go. Oh god. I'm in space. Wait. I can use the phone. Hold on hold on I think let me just spam through this. I how do old-timey phones work one second Okay, I think there was something on the side of the screen. Yes, five five five two three six eight Okay, I know these are old phones, but please could you invent speed dial quick? Can I really get an award for unscrewing if I've been the one screwing everything up right apparently I have to get a full moon cover of this guy in snow and then put a cherry on top Okay, the moon is unassigned, so I'll just simply get some paint which I saw earlier here. What color though? There we go. I got yellow will that do it? I paint like I do in real life with my tongue Perfect full moon now for snow. Do we have anything down here? I have an ice cream. I think With my tongue Tongue for everything because they're licking the screen in a second in the hopes that does something Wait, oh, oh that is snow That's clever. Okay. There's your snow. This seems a bit disrespectful for the dead. Well, this work is a cherry I guess not. Can I paint it?  All right, are we gonna revive him now with that or what? Time for the resurrection to begin They are unimpressed by this System right in the middle of a game Shouldn't have pirated the game All right, what am I looking for I can finally use this thing walking stick and bomb one five six wait There's no five or six. What do we have anything that could actually work one three five one five six Oh, no, maybe it's two four. I think do I have to enter all three? Oh, I can change that Oh my god, this is so confusing one five three. Okay. Now it's possible. Oh My god, I figured it out finally Jesus Christ.  I'm no longer big brain. I'm smooth brain Honestly, maybe we should just stay in this game and just solve mysteries forever Okay, I'm just destroying the world now. This doesn't seem fair just for me to leave Okay, I just got them sucked into a hole here There's the exit should I just go without saving them everything is fake. I am fake Honestly might be mercy because Watson's having a bit of a mental breakdown. He's realized he's in a game All right, there we go. I think I've opened the manhole cover now. Can you go through? I've got the bath ready for you three two one Oh, I didn't even get to see it. This bathtub just saved our lives. We apologize for the inconvenience Hey, apologize on your own behalf. I don't apologize for anything. I enjoyed the chaos Okay, I got out of that world. That's good enough for me. I'm stopping my mission legend of the secret What an inspiring name. All right. No, no, I'm not gonna figure out what the secret is That glitch can continue on in this quest to destroy every game in existence except among us Please stay away from that. Yeah, we're gonna end it there.  It's hard at points though It's very vague some of the things you're trying to figure it out, but yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed I appreciate you watching as always if you want to check out more of my stuff I post every single day. I also stream over on twitch Link to that in the description as well as a link to my second channel where I post even more videos Believe it or not, but yeah, I hope you enjoyed appreciate you and I hope to see you next time. Bye for now


There are a number of ways to prove Euler's formula. The simplest, for a sufficiently broad definition of simple, relies on certain contraction operations we can perform on a graph G to get a new graph G prime. One proof relies on edge contraction. Suppose an edge joins two vertices U and V in our graph. We can contract the edge to a point, causing the vertices U and V to merge. Note that this will reduce the number of edges by one, and reduce the number of vertices by one. But the number of faces doesn't change. This suggests we can use an induction proof where N is the number of edges, or the number of vertices. Let's try induction on edges first. If we have N equal to one edge, then the number of edges is one. There are two vertices and one face, and so Euler's formula is true for N equals one. Now suppose Euler's formula is true for all graphs with N equals K edges. Let G have K plus one edge. If we contract an edge, we get a new graph with K edges, one fewer vertex, and the same number of faces. Now by our induction assumption, Euler's formula does hold for graphs with N equals K edges. And so we have, which is the same as, since we contracted a graph and merged two vertices, the edges in our new graph are one fewer, and the vertices in our new graph are one fewer. Or rearranging these. So our original graph has V prime plus one vertices, E prime plus one edges, and F prime faces. And so we have, so Euler's formula holds, completing the induction proof. While this proves Euler's formulas, there are aesthetic flaws. We've been working with simple graphs, where no edge joins a vertex to itself, and two vertices are joined by at most one edge. However, edge contraction operations often lead to both situations. So can we find a proof where we always have a simple graph? Now before trying to find a proof, let's motivate why we should. Remember one way to really understand mathematics is that once you prove something, prove it again in a different way. And in this particular case, it helps that there's an objectionable feature about the proof, and we have a guide to how our different proof will be. So let's explore this problem. So an obvious alternative proof is to delete vertices instead. If G prime is produced from G by removing a vertex, then the number of vertices decreases by one, and the number of edges... Well, there's a bit of a problem here because we don't know how many edges we're going to lose. Since we don't know how many edges will be eliminated if we delete a vertex, let's delete the edges first. But if we delete all edges to a vertex, we isolate the point, so we disconnect the graph, and Euler's formula no longer applies. This means we can only delete an edge that isn't a bridge. So let's think about this. Suppose G prime is produced from G by deleting an edge that isn't a bridge. Now we haven't deleted any vertices, so the number of vertices is the same. We've removed one edge, so the number of edges decreases by one, and since we've removed a boundary between two faces, allowing the two faces to merge, then the number of faces decreases by one. Or does it? An edge separates two faces, but could they be parts of the same face? If they were, we could find a path in the ordinary geometric sense, from one side of the edge to the other that doesn't cross the edge. And so removing the edge allows us to complete the path, which gives us a boundary between two parts of the original graph. So the edge removed was a bridge, but we weren't supposed to remove bridges. And so if we produce G prime from G by deleting an edge that isn't a bridge, the number of vertices is the same, the number of edges decreases by one, and the number of faces decreases by one. And so we have. And now, considering the corollaries, this means that the quantity v plus f minus e is the same before and after the removal of the edge. Now, while this proves that v plus f minus e is an invariant of planar graphs, it doesn't tell us what this quantity actually is. Now we could simply find it from any planar graph, but what's the fun of that? Remember, it's the journey, not the destination, and if that's not enough, remember that proof reminds, reveals, and raises new questions. So let's consider instead, if we keep removing edges that aren't bridges, then eventually we'll come to a point where all edges are bridges. But a graph where all edges are bridges is a tree. And so for a tree, remember, the edges and vertices are related by vertices are edges plus one. And if we view a tree as a planar graph, there's one face. And so our quantity v plus f minus e is two, which we can rearrange to get Euler's formula.


Hi, I'm George Abbott, Minister of Education, reporting to you today from Victoria, British Columbia, from my office in the beautiful legislative buildings in Victoria. My day was delightful today, because early today I received a package from Miss Eckernacht. I think I pronounced your name correctly and from the kindergarten class at Rocky Hill, New Jersey.  I want to say how much I appreciated that. I'm really delighted to have received this gift. It cheered me up enormously. Not that I was that sour of disposition when I received them, but I was even better of disposition after having received such fabulous gifts and unexpected gifts. I'm not sure how you found me out in the world of YouTube and Twitterverse and so on, but I'm delighted that you found me. Hopefully the package was correctly addressed. I'm delighted to receive it. It's up in my office now and will continue to be up in my office. When we can get some coordinates from you, if you could send them along to us, we'd love to send you a package to the kindergarten class in Rocky Hill, New Jersey. Thank you for that. If any of you guys ever out in the province of British Columbia and make your way to the capital city of Victoria, please stop by my office 310 in the legislative buildings. I'll take you for a tour and show you a good time here at the legislative buildings in Victoria. All the best. Thanks again so much for this wonderful gift or gifts and I really appreciate it receiving all the best and signing off from Victoria, British Columbia.


I feel like my whole world is like on my phone. Hi everyone, this is Dr. Wallace. Today I'm gonna ask you, how would you feel if you left your mobile phone at home for an entire day? Oh, I would. I would. Empty. Empty. Lost. Lost. Disconnected. Disconnected. Probably slightly anxious, but okay. I would feel like, kind of like stressed because I feel like I would miss some, like some notifications with someone who texts me. I would feel stressed. Nervous, I would say, because of our growing dependence on this little gadget, so much as I would hate to feel naked without it. Yes, I would feel insecure. I would feel nervous. I would worry. Yes. I wouldn't care. What? It's just a phone, man. I didn't think about this, but like definitely unsafe. Yeah. Cause in a lot of times when I'm like, don't feel like comfortable. Like it definitely helps. It's definitely nice to just like pull it out and like have it. Yeah, I'd feel like a little stressed for that same reason. Like if I needed to call my mom, I couldn't do that or anything like that. A little bit concerned about my mom because she, when she doesn't know about me for more than five hours, she starts to panic. She's a very old person. But a part of that, I think it's okay to forget upon in your home. Just for one day or two days. You need to disconnect your mind. I would feel pretty anxious because I would be worried about getting lost or not being able to reach friends or family. And I would feel kind of like something was missing, I think. Honestly, I feel like I'd be okay unless I had to navigate somewhere. I have a very poor sense of direction. And so I use Google Maps a lot. But I think I could live without my phone for a day and be okay. If I didn't need it for, you know, transportation or for tickets, which are often online, I would be fine. I would feel good at the end of the day that I got through the day without my phone. But I would probably feel helpless for some time. I think that at first it might feel a little uncomfortable, but I would get used to it and I'd feel better than like if I had my mobile phone on me. I feel like I would be really introspective. Like at first I'd be lost and panic, but then I'd probably be forced to think about myself and just my surroundings a lot more than I have in a long, long time. Maybe I should try it. Probably less stressed. I've noticed that when I've gone, say, like a month without using Instagram or something like that, I feel a lot calmer and easier to focus on, like, say, a book. I would be okay with it. I've seen, I've done that before, so like I think on certain days it's good to get a break from mobile phone. It depends on what I'm doing that day, but if I need it for something work-related, then I would not, I wouldn't be that comfortable, but I would love not to have my phone if I didn't need it the entire day. Yeah, if it wasn't like my job, I'd need it to have it with them. Yeah, I would feel better. Having it on you, like, I feel the need to check it. If it's not on me, then there's no pull. If I have the surety that it's not lost, I'm comfortable because the people I need to contact, I probably have the numbers memorized, so yeah. So I'm okay. A little bit, having more privacy, because I'm sure the government is tracking all the information about my personal data, so having a little distance may in fact make me feel a little more free. I don't have my phone on me right now. Yeah. I'm bad at texting and I don't really get back to people until I look at my phone, but it's usually at home. Okay, and it's not difficult for you to get out without your phone. No, except it has my, it's my wallet too, so it has like my ID and everything and then I don't have it, so he's paying for dinner.
