Four e-commerce blog post templates to generate traffic for your website. Hey guys, JR Fisher here. Hey, blog posts are one of the cheapest, easiest ways to generate traffic. And a lot of people don't even know how to start. But in this video, I'll show you the four best ones you can do, and you can use them for your website and start generating traffic. If you haven't subscribed already, maybe you're new to the channel. Maybe you forgot to. Make sure you subscribe. Hit that subscribe button down there. Don't forget to turn on all bell notifications. So you're notified each time I upload a video, or if I go live. Give me a thumbs up, too, if you don't mind. That will really help the distribution of the video. So let's get into this blog post thing. It doesn't cost us much, but we've got to have the right ones. We've got to have the right template, and that's what I'm about to give you. Okay, so you've probably tried to do a blog post, or you've heard about this, and you do it, and then there's crickets. Nothing's happening. That's because you didn't have the right template. So let's get into the right way to do this. The first thing I'm going to tell you is know your audience. Know why they're interested in your product. Know why they're buying your product. What's the pain point they're trying to solve? Know what their interests are. Know where they're at. Know what groups they're part of. In other words, know your audience. That's the number one way to have a successful blog post is to know your audience. Now, if you're having trouble answering those questions, you're going to have trouble with a blog post. So imagine how much easier it would be to write a blog post for a 34-year-old single woman who's an executive, who has a dog at home, who likes to buy from local businesses, and is considered a foodie. Okay, so if you could say that about your audience, you're well on the right track. If you can't say that about your audience, then you're going to have a problem. Next thing I'm going to tell you is know your purpose. What is your purpose? Why are you blogging? Why are you doing this? Okay, is it to build your list? Is it to get more sales? Is it to get more engagement on your website? What is the purpose of it? You've got to set that up first. And make sure you set up your site with analytics, Google Analytics. You can see what's going on. You know, maybe your goal is to have one or two percent of the people who come to a blog post to actually buy something from you.  That is something you need to have set up on every site. So let's get into the different type of blog posts that are so important that people read more than anything else. Okay? The first one. What is the first one? The first one is a gift guide template. These are awesome. Okay? You could use these all the time. You can say it's a Valentine's Day gift guide. It's a Christmas gift guide. It's a spring and summer gift guide. It's a, you know, what, what type of gift guide is it? Gift guides work awesome. These things kind of do double duty because they not only help the reader, but there's something that the reader is more likely to share with other people. So if you can get that share factor in there, along with people reading it, you're going to be a whole lot better off and you're going to get more traffic automatically. Now, a great way to go about this is to have eight or 12 items on your gift guide and ideally have, you know, two, three, four of them being your own products. Certainly if they're not your own products, you want to have links in there that are affiliate links going back to those products because that way, if they don't buy your products and they buy somebody else's, at least you're going to get a payment off it. Number two is the roundup post template. What's a roundup post template? It's a bunch of items and some of the items can be yours. They could be affiliate links, but a bunch of items that people need when they are getting ready to do something, okay? So we're building a house in Texas right now for a new home there and there's certain things we're going to need. We're going to need furniture. We're going to need some kitchen stuff. We're going to need decorations and all these things. So it could be a roundup of items for people moving into a new home. That would be a great template for your particular blog and by putting these things in here, you not only help people out, but it makes it once again shareable and by putting in products in there that maybe aren't yours, you have affiliate links. You can make money off those too. Now you can also do a roundup post. I love these where what you do is you take your top eight blog posts for the past year and it's a little bit of a snippet of each one of those with links going back to those blog posts. So what you've done is you've had people say, oh my gosh, these are the eight best ones. I want to look at these.  You're driving even more traffic to all your other blog posts that you list in that blog post. Number three is the how-to blog post. There is nothing better than a how-to blog post. If you don't have those on your site, you're missing out. How-to blog posts solve people's problems.  Maybe it's a blog post on how somebody can do their makeup. Maybe it's how they can survive in the woods with no food for three days. Maybe it's on how they can repair something on their car that they don't want to pay a mechanic for. There's so many how-tos that you can do out there. It's really kind of never ending. And since that's the number one thing that people look for online is how to do something, you can be the solution to that and you can drive more traffic to your blog post. What you want to do in these is you want to introduce the idea. Okay, so maybe the idea is how-to make the best Italian food, okay? So that's your first part of the blog post. Next part may be a list of the steps that they need to take to make the best Italian food. So maybe there's certain tools. There's pasta makers. There's blenders. There's different types of tools they need for the kitchen. And understand as you list all these things in your steps of things you need to get, you can have affiliate links and it can lead to that product. You can actually make some money off the products too. Then I would follow up with an overview of each step and how to complete each one of those steps. It could simply be, you know, to get this blender, you're going to want to go to Amazon and you're going to want to click here, whatever that case may be. But you want to show them how to complete each one of those steps. Next thing I'll tell you to keep, you know, looking at your blog post images. So I would have an image for each one of these steps. Now, sometimes you can get these images, you know, from Amazon if they're Amazon links. You do want to be careful with this though because a lot of images are copy written. So if you're using images, make sure you're using a paid service or you're searching on Google that it doesn't require any attribution or anything like that. But I think the safest thing to do is go to a site where you're going to pay a set amount each month so you can download images for your blog post. You're going to need these in the future anyhow. So I think the smart thing to do is just pay for a service. Now you can buy the individual pictures but when you're buying individual pictures, that can get really expensive especially if you're doing a lot of blog posts. And the last one, number four, is the interviewer. The interview blog post. Oh my gosh, these are so good guys. Now some people have combined the interview blog post with a podcast, which is a really good idea. It's a great idea to do a podcast with somebody, get some expert. And if you can get an expert to talk about their ideas about a subject matter or how to do something and you are the one interviewing them, then you buy association become an expert too. That's how that works. That's why so many people want to interview people who are famous or have some expertise because then they look like they have expertise too. It's that fame by association I guess I would call it. But the cool thing is if you do a podcast and you interview somebody and nowadays everybody is okay with doing a zoom or some type of online interview where you split the screen. You can do something along those lines. You don't have to be there in person. And then you can take that transcript of that interview and you can have your questions and their answers and your questions and their answers. And that makes for a great, great blog post. It's more interesting that way. If you can include some pictures along the way, all the better of the different people that are getting interviewed of you yourself. So you can tell them snap five or six pictures of yourself in different positions. And I'm going to put that in the blog post too. A lot of times you get people to do that. And that really keeps people reading like I said last one if you have some images in there. I know I've done several of these myself where I do online interviews where I've been interviewed. I've done ones where I'm interviewing somebody else. And those are some of the most viewed things because when somebody is reading your blog post or watching your podcast or whatever it may be and they can get information from two people, they almost feel like they're part of the conversation. And in many instances when I've done the interviews, we have had people actually ask questions during the interview.  So that's a cool way of going about it. And then if you're doing a blog post, you can add that into your blog post also. So all four of these ways are really all you need. I mean a lot of people try to come up with new ideas for blog posts. But these four are the best ones that are out there. Why not use the best ones that are out there? It's simple. It's easy. I've given you a guide to go through this. You now know the four best blog post templates to generate traffic for your website. If you have these, you're off and running. Okay? Just put a little effort into it. Make sure you put time into it. And the next thing I'll tell you is consistency. Make sure you're doing these on a consistent basis. If you can only do four of these a month, okay? Don't put them in there on Monday through Thursday. Put one a week. Okay? That's more consistent. Google likes consistency. YouTube likes consistency. And if you spread them out over a period of time and you continue to do them, you're going to have much better results. And I hope you have great results. And let me know what your results are. Put your comments below in the comments section below. Let me know what you thought of this video. Okay? Let me know what ideas you have for new posts for my channel.

Welcome to the Hindu News Analysis by Shankaray's Academy. Displayed on the list of news articles taken for today's analysis and the page numbers in different editions of the newspaper. The link for the handwritten notes and the time stamping of the discussed articles are provided in the description and the time stamping is also provided in the comment section for the benefit of mobile phone viewers. Now let us move on to the analysis of the first news article. This news article is with reference to the detention of minors who are under 18 years old. In several cases of protests or democratic actions against the Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019. The syllabus relevant for the analysis of this news article is highlighted here for your reference. The news article mentions two instances where such arrests and detention have been made, one in Uttar Pradesh and the other near Delhi Gate in Darya Ganj. Around five minors were detained by Uttar Pradesh Police at the Bijanur Police Continent area. They were in the age group of 13 to 17 and around eight minors were detained after violence broke out near Delhi Gate in Darya Ganj. And these minors were later released by a magistrate who noted that the detention of children in a police station is a flagrant violation of the law. In this context, we will discuss the legal provisions with respect to detention of minors by the police. First, let us see some of the provisions mentioned under the Journal Justice Karen Protection of Children Act of 2015. We know that this law deals with two groups of children. One, children in need of Karen protection. Two, children in conflict with law. Those children who are found to be violating the law, they are called as children in conflict with law. And this JJ Act prescribes child-friendly approach in the adjudication and disposal of matters with respect to children in conflict with law in the best interest of the children. If you see section 10 of this JJ Act of 2015, it deals with the procedure of apprehension of a child who is alleged to be in conflict with law. For adult criminals, we use the word arrest. For children, we use the word apprehension. It mentions that as soon as a child alleged to be in conflict with law is apprehended by the police, the child shall be placed under the charge of the special juvenile police unit or the designated child welfare officer. Either the child welfare police officer or the officers in the special juvenile police unit, they shall produce the child before the juvenile justice board within a period of 24 hours. This excludes the time that is necessary for the journey from the place where the child was picked up or apprehended. This section clearly mentions that in no case a child alleged to be in conflict with law be placed in a police lockup or lodged in a jail. So based on this provision under the JJ Act, detaining and alleged torturing of minors by the police is a violation of the law. For some of the bodies that are responsible for the protection of rights and children in our country, one important statutory body that is responsible for the protection of child rights is the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights. NCPCR is a statutory body which was set up in the year 2007 under the Commission for Protection of Child Rights Act of 2005. This NCPCR comes under the Administrative Control of Ministry of Women and Child Development. The objective of this commission is to protect child rights, to promote child rights and to defend child rights in our country. And here the child rights includes even the rights adopted in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989. This convention was ratified by our country in the year 1992. NCPCR emphasizes two principles. One principle of universality of child rights, then principle of inviolability of child rights. Principle of universality refers to wherever the children are, if they belong to 0 to 18 years, their rights should be exercised by them. And inviolability refers to whatever be their conduct, their rights should not be violated. Now we should also know that while at the level of center we have National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, at the level of states we also have state commissions for the protection of child rights. Now let us see some of the functions and powers of this commission. See the commission can examine and review the legal safeguards for the protection of child rights and it can recommend measures for their effective implementation. And it can inquire into the violation of child rights and it can recommend initiation of proceedings in such cases of violation of child rights. And it can look into the matters relating to children in need of special care and protection. One among them are the children in conflict with law and it can undertake and promote research in the field of child rights. And it can inspect any place of residence that is meant for children under the control of central government or state government or any other authority, including any institution run by a social organization. It can inquire into complaints and more importantly it can take so motto notice of matters that is it can take the complaints on its own without the need for a person to file a complaint. And this power is with respect to complaints related to deprivation and violation of child rights, non-implementation of laws that provide for protection and development of children and also when there is non-compliance of policy decisions or guidelines or instructions to ensure welfare of the children and also to provide relief to the affected children. And while inquiring into any matter the commission will have the powers of a civil court and the commission has the power to forward any case to a magistrate having the jurisdiction to try the particular case. However when it completes an inquiry, if the inquiry discloses that there is violation of child rights then it may recommend to concerned government or concerned authority for the initiation of proceedings for prosecution or any other action as it considers fit. It can approach the Supreme Court or the High Court for various directions with respect to the matter of violation of child rights and it can also recommend to the concerned government or authority for the grant of interim relief or compensation to the child victim or the members of the victim's family. So these are some of the important powers and functions. So since NCPCR can take so-moto notice of violation of child rights it has the power to intervene when minors are involved in protests if they are illegally used and also when minors are detained and tortured as reported. And the news article mentions that NCPCR has issued an advisory to the DGPs of all states with respect to use of children in unlawful activities such as stone pelting and other violent acts. Such use of children violates the rights of children under the Juvenile Justice Act of 2015. How we can say that? See according to section 83-2 of the Act. Any adult or an adult group if they use children for illegal activities individually or as a gang they are liable for rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to 7 years and also liable for a fine of 5 lakh rupees. So as per the guidelines issued by NCPCR with respect to child rights in the areas of civil unrest you should note that the police and military authorities should avoid blanket characterization of adolescence as security threats and any arbitrary detention, mistreatment, torture of children has to be viewed extremely seriously by the authorities involved and they also have to investigate any reports of grave violations of child rights immediately and should take action against the accused person or the offender who is involved in the violation of child rights. So these are some of the information with reference to the analysis of this news article. In the analysis we saw about NCPCR and important powers and functions of NCPCR along with the news article. Now let's move on to the next news article. This news article mentions some of the targeted missions of Indian Space Research Organization. The news article talks about Gaganyan, Chandrayaan 3 and also about Aditya Sun Mission or Aditya Solar Mission. The syllabus relevant for the analysis of this news article is highlighted here for your reference. Now with respect to Gaganyan we know that it is the first human space mission to be launched by Indian Space Research Organization. So before executing the manned human spacecraft ISRO has planned to carry out two unmanned missions where the first unmanned test mission is to be carried out by the end of next year that is 2020 and this unmanned test flight will carry a humanoid which is nothing but a robo with human features. So within ISRO who is responsible for the implementation of Gaganyan project? It is the human space flight center and this center was inaugurated in Jam 2019 in the ISRO Headquarter Campus in Bengaluru. So as we know the implementation of Gaganyan project requires processes such as end-to-end planning because it's not a satellite that will be launched from Earth so as to stay in space. Rather the human beings will be sent from Earth to space that is to outer space and they have to safely return back to Earth. There will be processes such as development of engineering systems so that with respect to crew survival in space and there will be various matters with respect to crew selection, training and also atmospheric re-entry and entering back to Earth. And this human space flight center will also play a very important role for continuous human space flight missions for our country. So we have planned to use the GSLV Mk3 launch vehicle for taking humans to space even for unmanned test mission this will be the rocket that is to be used. For the first unmanned mission will be followed by second unmanned mission and this second mission is to be carried out in July 2021. Once both the unmanned missions are successful and gives hope that a human space flight mission will also be successful then the human space flight mission will be launched in December 2021. So in this human space flight mission India has planned to send three Indian astronauts to space for a period of 5 to 7 days during the stay in space they will be carrying out research at the microgravity conditions in space. The spacecraft is expected to be placed in a lower orbit of 300 to 400 km. If the Gaganyan program becomes successful India will be one of the few countries to successfully carry out human space flight missions. Now coming to Chandrayaan 3 mission. Now this mission is to moon. We know that while ISRO has successfully placed the Chandrayaan 2 orbiter into the moon's orbit we were not successful with respect to achieving the soft landing on the moon. So the Chandrayaan 2 exercise is a complex mission that consisted of orbiter, lander and the rover and the objective was to explore the unexplored area near the south pole of the moon. Now the Chandrayaan 3 mission is also expected to be launched in next year will be a copy of Chandrayaan 2 but the difference is that it will not carry an orbiter so it will have only a rover and a lander. So it's a rover and lander mission that is to be launched in 2020. Now these information were delivered by the ISRO chairman while inaugurating a felicitation program with respect to the celebration of 50th PSLV flight. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle which is also called as the workhorse of ISRO has completed its 50th mission in 2019 the 50th mission of PSLV has successfully launched a riset 2BR1 a radar imaging earth observation satellite and the launch vehicle used was PSLV C48 and the target for the 100th mission of the PSLV is to be achieved by the year 2024 the year in which India has planned to achieve $5 trillion economy. Now there is one another target with respect to 2020. Now this is ISRO's first solar mission called as Aaditya L1 it is scheduled to be launched by April 2020. Now this mission will mainly study the solar corona this will be launched using a PSLV and it is expected that the Aaditya satellite will be carrying 6 scientific instruments or scientific payloads. This Aaditya L1 project will help us in understanding the dynamical processes of the sun and also to find solutions with respect to some of the outstanding problems in solar physics. So these are some of the information with reference to the analysis of this news article. Now let us move on to next news article. This news article is about detention centres for the purpose of keeping those persons who are declared as illegal migrants or who are found to be illegal migrants. Now in this news article we will see about the powers of the central government and the state governments with respect to movement of foreigners in India. We know that when we talk about foreigners there are two categories one of them are legal migrants then the other is illegal migrants. So here our focus as foreigners will be on illegal migrants. We will also be seeing about what are the states where we can find detention centres for illegal migrants and we will also see some issues with respect to the recently concluded NRC exercise in the state of Assam. The syllabus relevant for the analysis of this news article is even here for your reference. First let us see the power of the central government related to the movement of foreigners. We know that foreign affairs is the domain of the central government even if you see the union list in schedule 7 of Indian constitution. Entry 10 mentions that foreign affairs is the subject of the parliament that is the legislative power with respect to foreign affairs is with the central government Again with this matter we have the foreigners act of 1946 that has conferred powers upon central government with respect to foreigners. According to section 3 1 central government has the power to make orders on the presence of foreigners be it all foreigners or any particular foreigner or any prescribed class or description of foreigners. Section 3 2 C of this act mentions that the central government has the power to deport foreign nationals who are staying illegally in the country and section 3 2 E mentions that the central government can issue an order to direct the foreigner to reside in a particular place and impose any restriction on his movements. Here the particular place you have to relate it with the detention center throughout the analysis of this news article and even with respect to the detention center there will be definitely some restrictions on the movements of illegal migrants. Now let's see the power of the state governments in this context it is important for us to see about article 258 of Indian constitution. Now this particular article in clause 1 mentions that the president may conditionally or unconditionally transfer some functions to the state governments. This is in relation to any matter of the executive power of the central government. Now we saw that foreign affairs is dealt by the central government however as per this provision the state governments have also been interested by the central government to take similar steps with respect to movements of the foreigners. So based on this article 258 the central government has issued many directions to the state governments in this matter. The news article mentions that in 1998 the ministry of home affairs wrote a letter to all states and union territories which asked the state governments and the union territories to restrict the movement of convicted foreign nationals that completed their jail sentence. The letter mentioned that those persons whose nationality is yet to be confirmed they have to be detained in one of the detention centers or detention camps set by the states and union territories and the states were asked to ensure the physical availability of such convicted foreign nationals at all times so when their travel documents are ready they may be either repatriated or deported to the country of origin or the country they belong to. Note that repatriation is the process of returning a person to the country of origin on the voluntary basis but deportation is the act of compulsorily sending a person to his or her country of origin. Then in the year 2009 the central government issued another set of instructions to the states wherein the center conveyed a detailed procedure to be adopted by the state governments for the deportation of illegal migrants particularly from illegal migrants who are from Bangladesh. So based on this instruction the state governments were asked by Ministry of Home Affairs to set up sufficient number of detention centers. These detention centers are for the purpose of keeping the suspected illegal immigrants till the completion of their deportation process to their country of origin. Similar instructions by way of letters were sent again to states in 2012-2014 and also in 2018 one of the recent letter circulated by the central government to the states on January 9, 2019 was about a detailed manual on model detention centers. Now in this manual the center has prescribed the various amenities that are to be provided in the detention centers including medical facilities. Now let's see the states where detention centers are established for the purpose of keeping the illegal migrants. In Delhi there is one detention center which is under the operational control of Foreigners Regional Registration Office and this is maintained by Delhi government. Know that the Foreigners Regional Registration Officers or regional officers function under Bureau of Immigration coming under the Ministry of Home Affairs. Now in Goa in the place called Mappusa there is a detention center which was set up in February 2019. Rajasthan has a detention center however located inside the central jail in Alwar. New detention centers are yet to come up in states such as Karnataka and Punjab and they are expected to come up by the year 2020. So as of now in Punjab if you see there is no separate detention center. Foreign detainees are kept in a segregated place in central jail in Amritsar and new detention center that is to come up in 2020 is expected to set up within a new jail that is to be constructed in Tantharan district by May 2020 and it is expected that a new detention center will become operational in Karnataka in Bengaluru from January 1, 2020. Now coming to the states such as Kerala and West Bengal they had plans to build detention centers but the projects are put temporarily on hold by the respective state governments. Coming to the status of detention centers in Assam first we will see the status of detention centers in Assam then we will see the issues related to foreign tribunals in Assam. We know that final updated NRC for the state of Assam was published on August 31, 2019. Now this registers segregated Indian citizens who are living in Assam from the illegal migrants from Bangladesh and other countries. These are migrants who came to India on or after March 25 of 1971. Nearly 19 lakh applicants were excluded from the finally published updated NRC and as per the citizenship rules 2003 the excluded persons from NRC may move to foreigners tribunals that are constituted under the foreigners tribunals order of 1964. Those persons who were declared foreigners by the foreigners tribunal they were kept in one of the six detention camps in Assam that are set up for the purpose of keeping illegal migrants and one new detention center is coming up at Golpara so this is the status of detention centers in Assam at present. Now we will see the issues relating to foreigners tribunals in Assam. The news article has provided data on the cases disposed by foreigners tribunals in Assam. You can see that there is a huge number of applications that are made to foreigners tribunals and in order to handle the huge number of applications particularly after the updation of NRC in Assam the Ministry of Home Affairs has sanctioned thousand additional tribunals. So at present you can see that there are hundred foreigners tribunals in the state of Assam. Now let's see the amendment made to the foreigners tribunals order of 1964. On May 30 Ministry of Home Affairs amended. This amendment was carried out in the month of May 2019. In this amendment the Central Government empowered State Government Union Territory Administration District Collector and District Magistrates in all States and Union Territories to constitute foreigners tribunals. So earlier this power was only with the Central Government. However with the amendment in this Foreigners Tribunals order 1964. Now this task is entrusted also to State Government Union Territory Administration even the District Collector and District Magistrates. And on June 11 the Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a clarification wherein it has said that the Foreigners Tribunals having been established only in Assam at present. This amendment to Foreigners Tribunals order of 1964 is presently to be relevant only to the State of Assam. So these are some of the information with respect to the issues of Foreigners Tribunals in Assam. In the analysis of this news article we saw about the powers of Central and the State Governments with respect to the movement of foreigners or the illegal migrants in our country. We also saw the status of detention centers in some of the States and some issues with respect to illegal migrants in the State of Assam following the recent publication of updated NRC. Now let us move on to the analysis of next news article. This news article is about the formation day of Indian National Congress. This Indian National Congress was called as the first organized expression of Indian Nationalism on an all India scale. Now with respect to this news article we will be focusing on the formation of Indian National Congress. The syllabus relevant for the analysis of this news article is highlighted here for your reference. Since 1850's several political associations with reference to our freedom struggle were formed however they were largely regional in nature. Most of them are restricted to the provinces of Bombay, Madras and Calcutta. And since 1850's the awareness among the Indians were growing that the British were controlling Indian resources they were also controlling the lives and living standards of Indian people. And they also got an awareness that if the British control is not brought to an end India could not be for Indians. Particularly during 1870's and 1880's the dissatisfaction against the British rule intensified. There were several reasons one is that they decided whether Indians should possess arms or not. This was done by passing Arms Act in 1878 and the British Indian government they also enacted vernacular press act in the same year 1878. This was enacted as we all know to suppress those who criticized the British Indian government and the act also allowed the British Indian government to confiscate or to seize the assets of newspapers including the printing presses. The condition is that it will be done if the newspapers publish anything that was found objectionable to the British Indian government. And in the early 1880's particularly in 1883 the British Indian government sought to introduce a bill after the name of legal advisor of the British Indian government his name is Ilbert. The bill was called as Ilbert bill. This bill actually provided some good provisions wherein it mentioned that Indian judges and Indian magistrates will be having the jurisdiction to try British offenders. The bill also tried to bring equality between British judges and Indian judges in the judicial system. However since the provisions aimed to bring some kind of equality between Indian and British judges there was severe opposition by the European persons who were then residing in India. So they have forced the government to withdraw the proposed Ilbert bill and Indians seeing this they were actually enraged because of the racial attitudes of the British in our country. And it is said that the way the proposed Ilbert bill was amended and the way the Europeans reacted to the Ilbert bill which favored equality between Indians and Europeans in the judicial matters has played a very important role in awakening nationalism among the educated Indians who felt the need for an all India organization for the struggle of independence. And this is actually a prelude for the formation of Indian National Congress which was established on 28 December 1885. 72 delegates from almost all over the country they met at Bombay to establish Indian National Congress. The first president of Indian National Congress was Vamesh Chandra Banerjee and one retired British official has also played a part in bringing Indians from various regions together and his name is Evo Hume. And as we saw the formation of Indian National Congress was seen as the first organized expression of Indian nationalism on an all India scale. Now you may take this table for reference wherein we have highlighted the place in which the first three sessions of Indian National Congress were conducted and also their corresponding presidents. Since 1885 the freedoms the struggle for independence revolves around Indian National Congress and it is said that even the polity of early years of independent India is also influenced by the ideologies of this Indian National Congress. The party leaders such as Sardar Vallabhai Patel and Jawaharlal Nehru they have worked with respect to consolidation of India as a single nation before and after the independence. So these are some of the information with reference to the formation of Indian National Congress. We have come to the last session the practice discussion session. The first statement mentions that the president may with the consent of government of a state interest either conditionally or unconditionally to that government or to its officers functions in relation to any matter to which the executive power of the union extends. Now this statement is correct with respect to article 258 of Indian Constitution. So we can eliminate option B and option D. Now come to the second statement foreign affairs is an entry in the concurrent list of Schedule 7 of Indian Constitution. Now this statement is wrong because foreign affairs is an entry in the union list of Schedule 7 of Indian Constitution. So this means only the first statement is correct. Therefore the correct answer is option A one only. In this question they have given two statements asking which of the other statements are correct. Indian National Congress was formed on 28th December 1885. Now this statement is correct. The second statement the first session of Indian National Congress was held in Kolkata in the year 1885 presided by Vomesh Chandra Bonerjee. Now this statement is partly correct. The first session of Indian National Congress was held in the year 1885 presided by Vomesh Chandra Bonerjee. But it was held in Bombay. So the correct answer for this question is option A one only because first statement only is correct. Now this question is with reference to ISRO's Gaganyan mission. They are asking which of the following statements are correct. First statement it is the first human space mission of ISRO. Now this statement is correct. So you can eliminate option C. Now second statement it aims to send Indian astronauts to the low earth orbit of 300 kilometer to 400 kilometer. Now this statement is also correct. So you can eliminate option A. Now the third statement ISRO's workhorse polar satellite launch vehicle is designated to launch the mission that is the Gaganyan mission. The third statement is wrong because it is GSLV mark 3 that is designated to launch the India's first human space flight program. So the correct answer for this question is option B one and two only.

Are cannabis drinks the new hard seltzers? More and more people are ditching their usual, for a different kind of buzz, marijuana drinks. From cannabis-infused seltzers to wines, weed drinks have been popping up everywhere, advertised as a healthy substitute to alcohol. But are they safe to drink? Well, do you know how much THC you can consume? More than half of the cannabis drinks sold in the US last year contained 100 milligrams of THC. For perspective, edibles are taken in 5 or 10 milligram doses. So yeah, that's a lot. So while they may be hangover free, experts warn that the high can be unpredictable and could get intense very fast. So if you're considering jumping on the cannabis drink bandwagon, just make sure you read the labels and stick to a low dosage.

Hey there, Psych2Go family! Welcome back to our channel. It's time to get to know our emotions even better. Loneliness is one of the most universal emotions of the human condition. If you're not sure if you're really lonely, you can check out our previous video, Seven Signs, You May Be Lonely, to find out more. You feel lonely when your loved one starts to drift away from you, you don't have any friends or someone special to spend your day with, or you feel unwanted by people you care about. Here are nine possible reasons why you feel lonely. One, you don't know how to connect with people. You crave closeness in relationships, but don't know how to connect with others. Having a lack of close personal relationships in your life has been shown to be the number one reason why a lot of us feel so lonely all the time. Your friends with lots of people, but your relationship isn't founded on anything substantial. You feel lonely because having someone to make small talk to about the news or the weather isn't enough to give you the emotional fulfillment you need. Two, you're afraid of intimacy. Is it difficult for you to let people in? Are you emotionally closed off and fear vulnerability? You might be feeling so lonely all the time, not because you don't know how to be emotionally vulnerable with someone, but because you don't want to. People who are afraid of intimacy keep those around them at an emotional distance. You don't want to get too attached to someone and you keep your guard up at all times. You fear rejection, abandonment and heartbreak, and it holds you back from emotional connection, genuine love and meaningful friendships. Three, you're going through a lot of change. Have you moved to a new school or a new city lately? Do you feel uncertain about what the future might bring and where it might take you? It's normal to feel lonely, lost and confused when you're getting through a period of change. And as we get older, sometimes we outgrow certain relationships and drift apart from those we were once so close to. Change can be scary, but staying stuck in the past may only make you feel more isolated and alone, especially when everyone around you has already moved on. Four, you struggle with codependency. Codependency is what happens when you base your sense of identity and self-worth on someone else. When you're codependent on someone, you make them the source of all your happiness and put their needs above your own, which isn't healthy.  To devote yourself so wholly to someone who's only interested in what you can do for them is a lonely way to live, and it may be the source of all of your emotional turmoil. Five, you've lost touch with yourself.  When you base your sense of self on your relationships with other people, you forget who you are without them, and losing touch with yourself can bring a deep sense of loneliness, because the person you spend the most time with has now become a complete stranger to you. Take the time to introspect and search your heart for answers about who you really are and learn to live a life without being defined by those around you. Six, you're feeling misunderstood. Does it often feel like no one really knows you or understands you? Do you struggle to fit in with others? Studies show that feeling misunderstood significantly contributes to a person's sense of loneliness. Sometimes, others, even your closest friends and family just can't seem to relate to you or see you for who you really are. You might even feel judged or ostracized by those around you because of all the ways you're so different from them, which can be one of the loneliest feelings in the world. Seven, you're struggling to feel worthy. Have you experienced a recent heartbreak? Were you ever rejected by someone you loved or had an important relationship end? When you struggle with feelings of worthlessness, loneliness often follows, because it's hard to move on from the pain of rejection and even harder to not let it define our sense of self-worth. It can make anyone feel small and insignificant and feel like no one cares and that kind of loneliness is the scariest of all. Eight, you're spending time with the wrong people. Some people feel lonely when they're alone, but being alone with the wrong people can make us feel just as lonely or even lonelier. Are you friends with people you don't even like or dating someone who's wrong for you?   And nine, you may have depression. If you still struggle with loneliness, even with so many meaningful and intimate relationships in your life, it may be because you're suffering from depression. According to the American Psychological Association, chronic feelings of loneliness are one of the most tell-tale signs of clinical depression. This mental illness makes it so difficult for us to feel connected to other people and often leaves us withdrawn, isolated, miserable, lethargic and with no hope, no happiness and no motivation to do anything. This isn't a surefire diagnosis for depression, so it's always a good idea to check in with a specialist just to be sure. Understanding the reasons behind your loneliness is an important first step towards overcoming it. It's normal to experience loneliness sometimes because it's a part of the human experience in life, but if you struggle with intense, constant or reoccurring feelings of loneliness, it might be a sign of a much more serious underlying mental health problem. If so, don't hesitate to reach out to a mental health professional if you feel your loneliness starting to get out of hand. Did these points help you understand your feelings a little better? Do you now see what might be causing your emotions in you? Do let us know in the comments below. Also remember to share this video with those you think might benefit from it. And as always, thanks for watching.


This month's local elections saw the Liberal Democrats make major gains and while they remained beneath their historically high share of the vote over the late 1990s and early 2000s, there's little doubt that they very much returned to the forefront of British politics, which begs a very important question. What precisely are the Liberal Democrats for? This is the party which championed austerity between 2010 and 2015 and was happy to hit the most vulnerable people in society the hardest just so long as they could put a 5p tax on plastic bags. This is the party which likes to present itself as the party of Remain of stopping Brexit and yet in their 2015 manifesto they committed themselves to an in-out referendum in the event of any further powers being transferred from Westminster to Brussels, which begs a question. If they would stop Brexit and if we remained, if such powers were transferred in the future would they want such an in-out referendum all over again? And then there's the fact that the legislation which made the following years referendum possible in 2015 was voted through by every single Liberal Democrat MP with the exception of Nick Clegg who wasn't there. They were joined by the likes of Chaka Umana and Caroline Lucas. So we're faced with the prospect of parliamentarians who put in their manifestos that they wanted in an out referendum, they legislated for an in-out referendum and then when they didn't get the result that they wanted decide they don't really want a referendum after all. If that looks and sounds and smells like political opportunism, that's because it is. My view is that their strategy for stopping Brexit, which seems to consist of photo shoots in central London knocking on a single door with Giva Hofstadt, the door being a door on a house worth £2.5 million probably won't be enough when you see the Brexit party holding mass meetings across the North and Midlands gathering thousands of people to their cause. Just a thought. Then there's the fact that Nick Clegg was their leader until 2015. Nick Clegg of course being a political leader who sold a generation out on tuition fees and more besides. Well now he earns more than a million pounds a year living in California and working for Facebook. Facebook is a company which made profits of more than £1.5 billion in Britain in 2017 and yet paid £7.4 million in tax. Was Nick Clegg's priority on taking the job to ensure that Facebook paid the right amount of taxation to Britain and elsewhere? Of course it wasn't. Instead he wants to stop the monopoly being broken up because of course we all know that a great Liberal Democrat cause is concentrating power as much as possible and ensuring a little regulation for one of the biggest companies in the world. Things are arguably even worse at the local level. Last week saw Liberal Democrats work alongside independents, Tories and UKIP in ensuring that the leader of Bolton Council was a conservative. Now that's not UKIP of two three years ago, it's not even the UKIP of Paul Nuttall. It's the UKIP of Gerald Batten and Sarkin of Akkad and Tommy Robinson.  This is unforgivable for any progressive party but as we consistently see any political opportunity will always be taken by the Liberal Democrats no matter how reprehensible the consequences and the people they're working alongside. Between Brexit, plastic bags and Facebook, it's impossible to discern what the Liberal Democrats actually believe in and stand for. That is besides stealing mail from people's letter boxes and brazen opportunism. There are European elections later this month and if you want Britain to remain in the EU I can understand to an extent why you would vote for them. They're presenting themselves after all as the party of Remain. The truth is however they're deceiving you as they've always deceived people. And worse than a wasted vote, voting Liberal Democrat is actively harmful. The reason being it's their brand of politics, opportunism and working with the most degenerate, regressive elements of British politics which have brought us to the point where we are. Brexit partly happened because of austerity and it partly happened because of the Conservatives being in power between 2010 and 2015. The Liberal Democrats were their enablers and don't forget it.


Now the United Nations is pushing for inclusive support mechanisms that ensure young people integrate biodiversity in the transformation of food systems. Now this is why this year's International Youth Day is themed Transforming Food Systems and as Nigeria joins in the celebration UNGAZIK are here to examine how much the Nigerian youth believes in the country. All over the world, young people are on the front lines of the struggle to build a better future for all. The International Youth Day this year highlights the solutions developed by young inventors to address the challenges to our food system. One of the persons helping to transform the system here in Nigeria is Samsonobole. The soulless farmer believes young people can build an equitable and sustainable food system. The youths in Nigeria are expected to do this. In spite of what many regard as an unfavorable social and economic situation in the country. The way forward for the Nigerian youth, I think people should be more involved, the youths really should be more involved in governance. The global youth development index recently released by the Commonwealth ranked Nigeria 101st out of 181 countries in the world. These indicate poor and declining youth development but the policy strategies advocate stronger engagement and participation of young people in policymaking as a way to reverse this. As the world marks this day, the United Nations is urging everyone to guarantee young people a seat at the table as we build a world based on inclusive, fair and sustainable development for all.

Esther Dyson, ICANN's first board chair from 1998 to 2000. Esther, what were the biggest challenges you've faced in those early years? Well, the biggest challenges were kind of everything. First of all, we were created with this immaculate conception behind which were the Europeans and the Americans, but in theory we were this upswelling of the internet community. Immaculate conception, I don't quite know what you mean. Yeah, well, the idea was nobody was supposed to be the hand that made it happen, it was supposed to be the will of the internet community. So it was honestly a polite fiction and everybody knew that, some people grumbled about it, some didn't, but in theory there was no one to look to. In practice it would have been John Postel who had previously run the IANA function and all the stuff that became ICANN, but he died completely unmisterously and unfortunately of complications after heart surgery. So instead of the guy widely considered sort of the saint of the internet, I mean, he was a real guy and irascible like all of them, but there was this Saint John, the thing was actually, if you like, instantiated by a lawyer called Joe Sims who I hope you also talked to who, I'm very, very fond of him, but he was sort of the wrong person for this job. He was a corporate litigator if you'd successfully sued Coca-Cola and stuff like that, but not exactly your spirit of the internet guy. So let's jump back to Postel for a second. So did his kind of sudden and unexpected death reshape ICANN cause problems? Yeah, it certainly did. It reduced the legitimacy we had in the eyes of the quote internet community. Put it this way, Joe Sims wasn't a puppeteer, but at the same time he was writing the legal documents that instantiated this basic idea that there should be an internet coalition of all parties that would set up a regulatory body, whether the rules would have been much different, certainly the sense of who was doing it was completely different, and Joe was a lawyer. So it sounds like, Esther, you're challenging the very concept of an internet community. Yes, I am. I mean, the community definitely exists, but it's not actively engaged the way, on the one hand, corporations or registries and registrars and lawyers. It's the usual problem with democracy in whatever form. It's kind of messy. It's messy, but more than that, the special interests are at the table because they're representing special interests and they're paid to do that. The general public interest, nobody is being paid by the public to represent the public interest, and it's a problem we have in democracy writ large as well. The special interests always spend more time in Congress or in the Russian Duma or wherever you want than sort of your average person whose job is living their life so they don't have time and they don't have money to go to these meetings and speak. So there's always going to be some kind of intermediary body which may or may not actually represent their interests. And in our case, we had some of the so-called at-large were being paid by network solutions. You touched on a point I want to follow up on, Esther. In 2002, you told a publication at Wharton Business School, we had engineers who thought ICANN was a plot to give certain companies control of the Internet. U.S. congressmen figuring it was a plot to give foreigners control. Public interest people...  Excuse me. Public interest people saying it should be run by a group of wise men and people from Latin America and Africa who just assumed they would be left out again. Now, you said that, you gave Wharton that quote about four years after the formation of ICANN. Upon reflection all these years later, is it still an accurate perception? Well, I mean now a lot of time has changed, but at the time, yes, everybody thought it was a plot by somebody else to rest control from their hands. In a sense, the genius of the U.S. government was to create something that was sort of to protect this vacuum of power by giving ICANN very little power. The great thing about it was the less it did, the better it was. He who governs least governs best. The challenge is, of course, everybody wanted to come into the vacuum and fill it with their own particular interests. So how did you handle that, that very point right there? We tried to do very little, but at the same time we did have, our first big mission other than setting ourselves up was to break the network solutions monopoly and create a broader community of registries and registrars. And then there was the second, not so much a monopoly, but an artificial constraint, which was how many TLDs there were. And that's where ultimately I changed my mind from, there should be a free market as many as you want, but the reality is that reduces, it just creates a mess. Then you might as well not have TLDs, and that's something, of course, we're facing right now. The creation of a few more so that .com, .com was sort of the commercial monopoly. That was probably a good idea. But in the end, the problem is not the shortage of domain names, it's the shortage of space in people's minds. So you can cut the space up into ever smaller, smaller little chunks and create a sort of protection racket, you're not really solving the problem of how do people find a particular thing on the Internet. And the reality is the more stuff there is, the less useful the domain name system is anyway. And you can look at the numbers, most people go to a website by typing in its name, they don't type in the domain name, and then Google figures nine out of ten people want ICANN.org, not ICANN.info or .biz, and if you want something different, your browser remembers that the last time you typed this thing in you did not take the first choice, you took the 14th choice, so that in a sense the more domain names there are, the more powerful Google and the other search engines become. Let's jump back to those early days. Given what a weird duck ICANN was, given how unusual it was, you talked about the various voices that wanted to be heard. I'm still curious as to how you, who are basically in charge of this, how you maneuvered this, how you made this work. So first of all, I wasn't in charge. Mike Roberts was more in charge because that was his day job. On the other end, you'll talk to him and he'll tell you, I wasn't in charge either. I guess nobody was, but the board was, it was presiding whether or not it was in charge and it was trying to, we were trying to create community, we were trying to create buy-in and legitimacy. How difficult was that? Well that was very difficult because the USG not wanting to be too visible or too controlling, we had a very limited budget. I don't remember the numbers but it was very limited and we spent a lot of money on lawyers and got some pro bono fighting network solutions. You can be open in the sense of people can ask you questions and still be very closed in the sense of it takes a lot of money or effort to be there to ask those questions. There's a sort of, there's passive openness which is you don't try to be secret and then there's active openness which is you actively tell people what's going on and this is the one thing where I would say probably there was ironically one of the biggest fights that was emblematic of a lot of other stuff and here I had fierce disagreement with Joe Sims. Our board meetings were closed. And you basically thought that the board meetings should not be closed? Yeah, I thought they should be open because believe me, we weren't going to be able to do anything secret anyway and it was just a question of creating trust and hey, the internet culture is based on transparency. It was crazy and one of our Dutch director said well if you close the meetings we'll just make all the decisions at dinner the night before and unfortunately he said it in public and though it was in a sense true there's a difference between being telling the truth versus telling the lie and being really undiplomatic in what you say. Sure. People do talk outside of board meetings they should but to the extent you deliberate again, nothing's perfect but you should have the fundamental policy of we hold our discussions and we set policy within the board meeting and we do that in the open so that people can see the disagreements and can see the decisions we arrived at so that was really unfortunate. Because ICANN was such an unusual organization and there was unprecedented in a kind of way what was the greatest challenge in trying to build this organization? Well again, the challenges were multiple but let me take you back a little bit. The board was selected with the exception of June Merai to be people who were not active in this broad community. They weren't registries, registrars, they were not supposed to be people who had been part of some partisan discussion beforehand and so I was part of the internet community but I wasn't a partisan. Most of the rest of them really were not internet people at all, they didn't use the internet. Trying to get a board that people felt knew something was one challenge, the whole thing with network solutions was another challenge because they were trying to just delegitimize us totally. We were short of budget, the guy who represented the internet, John Pastel had died. When you list the problems like that it sounds like it almost was against all odds that ICANN succeeded. No, it was against a bunch of odds but at the same time it was clear that something like that needed to exist and I think everybody felt well let's not destroy it, let's maybe try and pull it in our direction but yeah, this thing is needed because there's got to be some place where you can go to resolve disputes, there's got to be some place to set policy and if we want more TLDs there needs to be an organization that will do it. So that need was widely recognized. The need was widely recognized. It started out as this little server with a bunch of names on it and suddenly it was this big piece of infrastructure as if you went imagine you're on the moon and you have a little air conditioner and then you build out the territory and suddenly you have hundreds of buildings you kind of want to protect that air conditioner and as it grows make sure that there was somebody in charge of it that was broadly trusted and that would do the sensible thing. You might still have the desire for it to air condition your part of the territory better than the other guys or you might have some preference for temperature but in the end you want something that you can go to that is managing this resource on behalf of everybody. I actually like that metaphor I just thought of it. Let me ask you something that you just said you said that many people on the board were not of a technical background. When ICANN is basically in an oversimplified sense a technical coordination body how problematic was that? The lack of tech specific knowledge wasn't the problem it was the lack sort of the net how does the internet work where is it heading how do people use it and let's face it if you're talking to a bunch of people who write code and use email and you have your emails printed out for you it's not helpful. Within the board itself you were the board chair was it difficult to bring the board to a point of consensus on any particular matter? I'm curious as to what it was like in those early days for you in your function as chair? So again to set the context it's a joke but it's true I was the only one who volunteered everybody else was busy because they were in fact doing something else I was writing a newsletter and had a conference about the internet so for me this was like yeah this could be my day job so I was ready to jump in not to work full time it was completely relevant to what I cared about so I became the chairman but I didn't have any particular gravitas versus the rest of them but it was, I mean they were all well meaning it was a hunts was a little more stubborn but fundamentally it was more a consensus than a voting board Was it satisfying? It was intensely interesting extremely frustrating the whole thing with the at large not really functioning very well was really disappointing because I really do feel that the users were kind of being ignored vis-a-vis the people the government people on the one hand the regulators the business community at large and then the specific registrar business community or money selling domain names and related services versus the companies that bought them there was just a lot of people pretending to represent the at large there was of course the legitimate complaints from people in Africa and Asia and that they weren't being represented and at the same time there were people who would show up at these weekend meetings who would be deputy assistant secretary of the subcommittee of the council on blah blah blah internet and they were charging their countries huge amounts of money for them to stay in this fancy suite and they really had nothing to add and I just found that sort of offensive Well a lot of people came it was sort of like a honey pot of you know really interesting meeting you can go to somewhere very interesting around the world and you can have something fancy on your business card so it sounds like what you're telling me when I'm hearing you say it's the challenge was to get the end user who didn't have great resources to get them involved to hear their voices yeah not to get them involved of all billion of them showed up that would be a little crowded but somehow to get them better represented and at the same time not to bring in all these people who are really just feeding it might have had a vested interest or well I mean they were some had a vested interest in what I can did but many just had a vested interest in their government sending them on a pleasure trip to some interesting board meeting location Esther let me ask you this looking back after all these years is there something that you wish you guys had done differently I could wish the whole thing had been different but in the end I would say most of it kind of unfolded almost inevitably I mean certainly the whole thing could have been more elegant but the fundamental conflicts between governments who wanted to have ICANN be a vacuum of power and governments who wanted to use it to exert their power to turn it into something closer to the ITU the leadership bureau the those were all kind of I would say ordained by history it's become a very lucrative business that at the same time is extremely competitive and there's lots of shady domain name practices the level of that goes up and down I mean I would have liked to see ICANN regulating fraud and sleazy business more effectively mostly thank God kept out of the censorship business which many governments have tried to make it do and in the end I'd rather have somebody taking money out of my pocket than somebody shutting my mouth so I'm happy On that note Esther, thank you very much for taking the time to talk to us we appreciate it


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. So this is for the 1975 Italian giallo film The Suspicious Death of a Minor and I watched it on an aero blu-ray Looks really good as you would assume from something from aero This actually is a version that has blu-ray and DVD I guess because it came out during that time when they were you know kind of trying to bridge the gap I assume but yeah, this is a Sergio Martino film if you have interest in giallo in general I have a lot of giallo reviews on my channel. I have an entire playlist for giallo film reviews I also have an entire playlist for just Sergio Martino films as well because I've reviewed a bunch of his as well So this isn't my favorite suspicious death of a minor is not my favorite Martino film, but I found it entertaining It's also you know not towards the higher Rankings of giallo films. I've seen it's probably more towards the middle ish or lower middle But it's still entertaining. It's definitely worth watching. I enjoyed it well enough So like I said directed by Sergio Martino some other films you know well potentially would know of his Your vice is a locked room and only I have the key which actually there's a poster that shows up in the film If you notice for that film When they eventually go to the theater that for some odd reason has like this opening Ceiling, I don't know if that was actually a thing back then in Italy But you can let me know in the comments if you find that information But yeah when when they go to the to that theater They show a really close-up shot of kind of like the keyhole picture with someone like screaming inside of it from the poster That is your vice your vice is locked room and only I have the key which Martino did He also did films all the colors of the dark the strange vice of mrs. Ward Which is probably my favorite of his films torso the case of the scorpions tail the scorpion with two tails an American rickshaw which by the way I have American rickshaw in this pile up here that I need to watch and we'll be watching relatively soon written by Martino and Ernesto Gestaldi Now you may know that name especially if you've been watching a bunch of my review videos for giallo films Gestaldi's been involved with scripts for the vampire in the ballerina werewolf in a girl's dormitory The whip in the body the vice is a locked room and only I have the key all the colors of the dark the case of the bloody Iris the strange vice of mrs. Ward torso the forbidden photos of a lady about suspicion The scorpion with two tails the case of the scorpions tail and death walks on high heels Now that's just some of the films now Gestaldi did a lot of writing But I was just trying to name more, you know horror and giallo films. So just know that So apparently Gestaldi said in an interview about this film that he didn't think it was that all that great And he just felt like Martino wasn't really able to like work his magic on the film now I don't know if that was kind of like a deflecting that he was doing because the story's not the best I really kind of feel like Martino did what he could with that to be honest Because from a directorial and cinematography standpoint, I think it actually looks good and there's a lot of interesting camera movement There's a lot of interesting shots the way the camera moves with the characters because there's a lot of movement in this film I mean one one of the parts that really comes to mind for me. It's a very engaging is when they're following After the the shoot out on the roller coaster at that carnival Then it goes to the subway and they they're like the cameras following one of the guys running who then like jumps the turn style And then they kind of like stop there, but but that kind of like following movement I think I I'm just pointing to that to say those types of things in this film. Martino did what he could I think this is kind of Gestaldi trying to deflect a little bit that the story wasn't that great because the story is not that great, honestly Luchiano Michelini Actually did all the music for this and I will say that by and large the music is not that good in my opinion That is one of the biggest problems, especially like I Don't want to say it's like a Benny Hill type song if you know what I'm talking about and what I'm talking about But like there's kind of this Benny Hill type song It's like a little too light a little too goofy and wacky that plays numerous times in the film that I feel really takes away from the tension and I don't know just being interested in the film. It's a weird song. It's weird types of music, but the Theme song like the intro song that actually shows up a few other times in the film I think sounds really good because it sounds very goblin-esque I don't know if people agree with me on that one, but I really do like that particular song But other than that not a great score this film was also called too young to die which Makes sense. I I like this title a lot better. It's just more interesting and it's more giallo-like if you know what I mean So in the beginning of this film no mystery what the killer looks like as he is shown Very much so when he is stabbing Marissa Or I'm sorry Marissa I mean yes, they're not showing his eyes because he has those super reflective sunglasses, but the point ended up being With this not who the actual killer is but who is kind of motivating the killer at that point And that's kind of what I assumed when I first saw that they were showing the face of the actual guy doing the stabbing and throat slitting so You know not your typical giallo in that sense another way that it's not your typical giallo is it's very focused on action I've never seen a giallo film this focused on action and chases I think it's the case. No, it wasn't the case of bloody iris Blackbillie the tarantula there is a significant chase scene in that but this kind of takes that and then just goes like way further Yeah, I've never seen this type of action in a Giallo, it's like Beverly Hill cops giallo, you know You get the idea the town where the murder happened is shady as the guy on the motorcycle steals a briefcase from the cops and Carmen the prostitute laughs at them and makes fun they they do a good job of kind of Making it seem like the cops shouldn't be that Surprise that Marisa got killed there because a where she gets killed is a house of ill repute aka brothel aka a house of prostitutes aka a whorehouse Anything you want to say that's where it happens and you and you do get that idea that not only is that going on But then Giannino who you find out who he is later goes by and steals from the police which that's brazen That is obviously very brazen and I feel like that's in the script to kind of show you what a bad side of the town this is That someone's that brazen just steal from the cops, but then again, this does kind of fall into the whole Trope that you have a lot in giallo films where it's kind of like the cops are stupid Obviously other than detective Paolo who is the smartest guy ever But is also extremely questionable in his actions and how he acts towards people as a man of the law I understand he was in an unofficial capacity doing his work, but Very questionable guy But that's part of the fun Why is Paolo strangling this woman with a gun to her head? He could try asking her some questions first That is the woman who was Answering the phone at the brothel who I guess saw Marisa run up before she was killed He just gets really violent with her like immediately like he starts strangling her He's holding a gun to her head and then he starts asking her questions basically So you see his methods very early on because this is very early on he's brutal. He doesn't really care He's just gonna get results like that's his main drive. He doesn't care who he hurts What he destroys in the meantime or how many people die to be honest because people end up dying while he's doing his work He just cares about results So odd when Paolo gets Giannino to join him in stealing purses from prostitutes Then it turns into a straight-up comedy especially because of that zany piano music that I was referencing earlier That whole sequence where he's stealing all these purses While you know Giannino's on the back of the motorcycle and Paolo's driving it and he's just like snatching purses because he wants to find out Who men get is so he's trying to look at their IDs later and tells Giannino he can keep all the money which is obviously what he's interested in but when they kind of get caught People are like hitting them and slapping them and stuff and it's just like that zany like piano music which Benny Hill ish If you know what I mean Paolo putting in the detective work, but not letting his money go to waste with the prostitute.  It's a real beater And it didn't it actually got replaced after he got that money from Peche Or Peche The banker guy who ended up being the dude behind it all in the end obviously Nice trick with the unsigned check and following Floriana to Manga's place I feel like the sequence following her as well where the film actually really started to pick up prior to that It was a little bit slow. It's a little bit meandering You didn't really know what it was doing, but as soon as he plays that trick on Floriana with the unsigned check because her fault for not checking it and then Manga starts like beating her because of it that It's taking the mystery somewhere, you know, it's like okay now. We're hitting the ground really We're really going somewhere. I feel like we're gonna start getting pieces of the actual puzzle at this point Paolo is so brash love love how he has a coke and watches TV at Manga's place after he killed him so Manga killed Floriana accidentally and then Paolo killed Manga and then just drags their bodies into another room goes and gets a Coca-Cola from the refrigerator sits down and starts watching TV while drinking a Coke Like it just goes into this dude's psyche of just like he doesn't care He does not care. He just wanted to take a load off But I think oh I think that could actually partially be because he was waiting to see if the ransom money was gonna end up showing up Which it did You realize pretty quick. They use the typical incompetent police trope. I already talked about that It's so wacky when Giannino is throwing the car doors at the cop car as Paolo drives In general the car chase scene is extremely wacky Especially with the music they used and it's a very very long scene. That was a super long car chase scene But you have all these things happening like all the car doors being thrown Which is very over-the-top wacky weird with that weird wacky music and then like the guy who? Almost gets hit hit by the car and he's like spinning around on the ground and then it happens again And then the nuns in the car, and it's just it's too much It's too much like kind of like a slapsticky comedy type thing and that's not really what this film is about I feel like you can have kind of like a funny moment here or there if you want but When you're doing that it's it's too much now I don't know if that was all scripted stuff or maybe Martino did come up with that stuff while on the set I don't know, but that stuff wasn't very good. I don't feel like it meshed with the film Glad that it finally makes sense why Paolo was with Marisa in the very beginning of the film He was working the kidnapping case unofficially as I said yeah, because it starts with him running into her and having that dance with her and You're just like okay, like why is he there at that point? Especially for someone who's gonna end up being killed and then you find out he's a tech So you eventually find out he was already kind of work unofficially working this case and Marisa had some information That had to do with that young boy who had been kidnapped and his parents paid the ransom But then they didn't want to talk about anything having to do with it and apparently that was a whole pattern That kept happening They sure cover a lot of area in the film because there are a lot of chases in it There's even the roller coaster shootout that ends up on the subway tracks Which that was probably my favorite part of the film I really enjoy that it's nuts. I mean who thinks of having a shootout go on on a roller coaster I think it's a crazy idea, but I think it's cool And then the fact that it it you know They're running after each other and it goes into the subway and like I said the guy like jumps the turnstile Well, the cameras following him and then he gets Taken out by a subway. You don't see any viscera from it, which I wish you did but That's the idea is that he gets kind of his body gets crushed and swept away by the subway Paulo's glasses continually getting cracked is kind of a dumb callback joke. They did that what three times in the film I just felt like it was just is a little too forced. It wasn't very interesting. It wasn't funny. It was just a thing Man Paulo is real rough with Carla I know it seems like she screwed him over on some information But he threatens to break her ankle just another thing pointing to how outside of the law Paulo actually operates within this film when he goes to Carl and he's like you're you know The information wasn't good. You're trying to screw me over He's like literally throws her on the bed and like grabs her ankle and talks about well Maybe you do better with a broken ankle and it's just like do calm down calm down But you know you do see throughout the film that they're they're interested in kind of throwing the book at him The regular police officers are but then there's that little group that's kind of wants to protect him because they're like No, we need him to do the dirty work. He's doing the unofficial investigation. We need it that way Once the landlady is stabbed death You get the idea the killer is he hired blade and whatever information Marisa had is the key to the mystery Yes, very much what ends up happening and that's kind of the point where you get that idea Once that landlady is stabbed, which by the way on internet movie database calm. I'm DB. Sorry I don't know why I said it all the way out. Everyone knows what that means She is actually in the credits as landlady. That's it. Just landlady.  I really didn't see it coming because how often do you see that? I've seen so many films especially horror films where people get strangled to death But they never have that detail of like just saliva falling out of the person's mouth. That's more natural It's more visceral. It's more disturbing in my opinion and I actually like that touch to Carla's death And I was surprised once again because you don't see that that level of detail usually Note that when Giannino goes to the theater, they show a poster for your vices a locked room and only I have the key I already talked about that and what what is again? What is with the opening roof on the theater? Like I liked the aspect of the you know the chase going up to the rooftop yet another chase in this film the chase going up to the rooftop and then the rooftop opening and the guy like falling through but Once again, is that a thing like was that a thing? I don't know it just seems like something they just created because that's what they wanted to do in the film Which is fine. I just want to know if that was a thing Cool shot through Paolo's new glasses It actually has to be really hard to change the focus that fast when he finally gets his new glasses because he got the Money from Pesci the banker Pesci And it's it starts with the shot through one of his lenses of the new glasses And it's out of focus because it's focusing on the glasses And then he takes it down and it immediately focuses on the guy behind it That quick focus change had to be very tough and it's a cool shot. It's a very cool shot looks good Now wow what a moment when Gloria opens the exploding package when she's on the back of Giannino's motorcycle I definitely did not see that coming I thought maybe it would be a bomb But I thought it would like fizzle out or she would throw it last minute because they'd hear it making some sort of noise I didn't think the motorcycle would just explode in grand fashion like that But I'm glad it did because that's another really good part of the film It's a great scene especially because it is so surprising and Brutal very brutal Shooting a scene on the car train was very interesting. That's another thing I didn't even know those things existed either The fact that you they have train cars That are basically cages that you can drive a car up onto and then they just take it with that was nuts to me I was like this is cool So I love the fact that they incorporated that and the whole scene with you know Paulo getting out of his car and going over and getting in the car of a peshy Well kills his driver first and then getting in the car with peshy and then that's where the final confrontation goes down It was good. It was a good scene The ending does feel pretty anticlimactic and I wish the mystery was a bit more interesting That's what I was talking about with it. The story not being the greatest I guess the big shock was supposed to be the miners being prostitutes and peshy sexually abusing his niece and her friends While giving them coke now when I say it like that it does sound very interesting But the way it ends up being presented and so slowly within the film really is not that interesting They could have revealed it in a more shocking way, but I don't know It just it makes it feel like the film was building towards something and then it kind of fizzles out in the end Now maybe other people feel differently, but you can let me know in the comments.  I still had a good time with it. I Like how Martino structures a bunch of his shots around the architecture At his shooting locations following people up and downstairs. He did a bunch of that type stuff That's a cool way to like really open the scene up make it feel bigger Make it feel more engaging and interesting and like the audience can kind of see more of the cityscape and what's going on It makes it feel more of a grand film, especially with all these chase scenes like I was talking about In general, I dig Martino's style and that's one thing that keeps this film engaging Nice directing and cinematography with interesting angles and interesting camera movements Like I was saying Gestaldi saying that Martino didn't pull it off. I don't really think so I really do think that Martino did maybe not everything he could have done with this But he did a good job. I really feel like so I think a lot of it's with the stories because Staldy I'm just saying Anyway, what am I gonna rate this out of five stars with half stars in play? I'm gonna give a solid three star rating It's good Not great wanted a little bit more from it But I will still watch it again because obviously I own it now especially so What did you think about this film if you've seen it go ahead and put it down in the comments We can get nerdy about this or just any giallo in general I am down to talk about it because obviously I'm super nerdy about giallo.
