Good evening aspirants. Welcome to the hindi news analysis by Shankarai's academy for the date 27th May 2019. The list of articles chosen for today's analysis along with the page numbers of Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi and Tiruvannathapuram Editions are provided here. The link for the handwritten notes in the PDF format and the time stamping for the displayed articles is provided in the description box below. And for the benefit of smartphone users, the time stamping is also provided in the comment section. Let's move on to our first article analysis. The discussion based on this article will be relevant under current events of national importance, then in social development and also in social sector initiatives. The discussion is also relevant in GS paper 2 under the area government policies and interventions for development in various sectors, then also in issues relating to development and management of social sector relating to education. The newest article talks about the first 100 days agenda of the second term of the NDA government. And one of the key purposes in the first 100 days agenda is that all central universities have been asked to notify their faculty vacancies and that is to within the next 100 days. It is to be noted that currently over 5000 posts remain vacant in the 40 central universities. The vacancy situation was already aggravated by legal battles over how to implement reservations in faculty hiring. Additionally, in a controversial ruling in April 2017, the Alhabad High Court struck down the existing system. The existing system mandated determining reservations for the university as a whole and not for separate departments. So, after the struck down of this system in March 2018, the University Grants Commission directed institutions to start treating each department as a separate unit in their recruitment process. But in many smaller departments, this resulted in few or no faculty reservations and led to outrage, especially among Dalit and Adivasi communities. Then the government issued an ordinance in March 2019 to revert to the older system of reservation. These court battles led to the halt in recruitment and in turn increased the vacant. Now, next on the first 100 days agenda list is a proposal to get cabinet approval for 10 more institutes of eminence. This is expected to incur an additional cost of 7000 crore rupees. Note that 11 institutions were recommended under the scheme in 2018 by the Empowered Export Committee headed by former chief election commissioner. But the center finally bestowed or gave the institutions of eminence tag to only six institutions. The news article also states other items on the 100 day action plan like the long delayed national education policy. The national education policy will be discussed when the policy will be implemented by the government. So, today let us understand about the institutions of eminence scheme. First, you know that eminence means greatness and prestige. So, you can get an overall view of what institutions of eminence is from the name itself. The institutions of eminence scheme was launched in order to implement the commitment of the government to empower the higher educational institutions and to help them become world class teaching and research institutions. Under this scheme, 10 public and 10 private institutions are to be identified to emerge as world class teaching and research institutions. This is to enhance affordable access to high quality education for ordinary Indians. So, the University Grants Commission or UGC issued an enabling regulatory architecture for the implementation of the scheme. And in order to realize the goal, the Ministry of Human Resource Development and the UGC evolved the policy that was incorporated in the UGC declaration of government educational institutions as institutions of eminence guidelines 2017. And also in UGC, institutions of eminence deemed to be universities regulations 2017. These guidelines and regulations were issued to enable 10 public and 10 private institutions to emerge as world class teaching and research institutions. And these institutions are called as institutions of eminence or in short IOEs. The aim of the scheme is to bring higher educational institutions selected as IOEs in top 500 of world ranking that is 2 in next 10 years. Then after some time the aim will be to bring these IOEs to top 100 of world rankings. As we saw the scheme was launched with an objective to provide world class teaching and research facilities to Indian students within the country and enhance general level of education of the country. This alien features of the scheme include greater autonomy specifically to admit foreign students up to 30% of admitted domestic students. Then also to recruit foreign faculty up to 25% of faculty strength. Then to offer online courses up to 20% of institutions programs. Then the scheme allows the IOEs to enter into academic collaboration with top 500 world ranking institutions without the permission of UGC. Next it also allows to fix the fees by the IOEs and charge fees from foreign students without restriction. Then there is also flexibility to frame core structure in terms of number of credit hours and number of years to take a degree and this in turn gives complete flexibility in fixing of curriculum and syllabus to the IOEs. So under this scheme IOEs will have freedom to choose their own path to become world class institutions. Each public institution selected as IOE will be provided financial assistance of up to Rs. 1000 crore over a period of 5 years. This fund is meant for research activities and it should be available for all educational institutions and their faculty. Thus creating a healthy competition among the institutions and giving a fill up or boost to the research activities then it will also lead to better research output and international rankings. The institutions will be selected as IOEs by the Empowered Expert Committee which was constituted for the selection purpose. The Empowered Expert Committee will monitor and review their implementation plans of the institutions which have applied for IOE status. So in 2018 the committee recommended eight public institutions and three private institutions for the IOE status. Then on UGC's recommendation three public and three private institutions were approved by the government as IOEs. They are first Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore Karnataka, then Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay Maharashtra and Indian Institute of Technology under public sector category. Then also Geo Institute of Reliance Foundation Pune under the Greenfield category. Next Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences that is Bitspilani Rajasthan then finally Manipal Academy of Higher Education present in Manipal in Karnataka under the private sector category. Here note that the Greenfield category means the institution has not yet been established. It is a separate category where the sponsoring organizations will set up new institutions. So here the Geo Institute will be set up by the Reliance Foundation. UGC requested the EEC to continue its process till all the 20 institutions are identified. So in its second report EEC recommended additionally two institutions in the public category and seven in the private category. With this we have come to the end of this discussion. The displayed prelims question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next news article which is about the solar and wind energy sector. The discussion based on this article will be relevant in your prelims for syllabus under current events of national and international importance and also in economic development. The discussion will also be relevant in main syllabus under GS paper 2 in government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of their design and implementation. Then also in GS paper 3 under energy in infrastructure. The news article is about the solar and wind energy sector in the renewable energy sector. Note that with respect to renewable energy sector the government has set a target of installing 175 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by the year 2022 which includes 100 gigawatts from solar, 60 gigawatts from wind, 10 gigawatts from bio power and 5 gigawatts from small hydropower. The article states that the target for solar energy was set five times more than the target set by the then government in 2009. Note that in 2009 the government of India launched the national solar mission with the target of grid connected solar projects of 20,000 megawatt by 2022 which is only 20 gigawatts but in 2015 this target was increased or revised by five times to achieve one lakh megawatts that is 100 gigawatts by 2022. The objective of this national solar mission was to establish India as a global leader in solar energy by creating the policy conditions for the diffusion of solar energy or spreading solar energy widely across the country as quickly as possible. Now the author of this article has given the issues in meeting these targets for solar energy and wind energy. With respect to solar the domestic manufacturers of solar modules have suffered because of cheaper imports or dumping of imports from China, Malaysia, Taiwan, US, Saudi Arabia and Thailand. Against these dumping there were requests of imposing anti-dumping duty since 2014 and the Ministry of Commerce has also recommended the anti-dumping duties to save the domestic manufacturers but only by the end of March 2019 that is some one and a half months before the government has imposed anti-dumping duties on ethylene vinyl acetate sheet which are used for solar cells and which were imported from China, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Thailand. This anti-dumping duty is for a period of five years. Here the author is pointing out the five-year delay in imposing this duty that is from 2014 to 2019. In addition to this delay the GST rates and depreciation has also affected the solar sector. Also the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has lowered the power tariff for wind and solar energy but the author states that this has been helpful only to electricity distribution companies and not to the customers and was not helpful to the manufacturers also. Now the problem here is if it is not profitable for manufacturers developers will not come forward if it is not helpful for the customers then after some time there will be fall in demand also. Next with respect to wind energy the author has highlighted one problem that is the procedures with respect to land acquisition for wind power generation. This was referred by the author as land problems and this was seen mainly in the state of Gujarat. Many developers are choosing Gujarat to establish wind power capacities because of the wind energy generation potential of the state. Even all developers of wind energy going to one state is not a healthier development. Hence the industry related to wind energy has asked the government to intervene in the process and to promote an even development across the states. But so far no efforts had been taken to manage this problem of uneven development. Next with respect to avoiding the contracts to the projects the government has adopted auctions as a method to grant the wind projects. But the industrial players demand a process with closed tender. In auctions the bidders try to outbid each other to get the project sometimes and in auctions they even do not weigh in the cost-benefit analysis and may bid for even unhealthier terms just to get the project even if it compromises the profit. But in a closed tender this cannot happen and there is possibility that the project may go in to better manufacturing companies and moreover profit realization is also comparatively good in closed tenders with respect to holding auctions. Further the chairman of Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association has said that in all other sectors such as railways or defense the auctions are not held for avoiding contracts rather it is always a closed tender. Now here we have to note that that there is also rampant corruption in these processes and after securing a project in a state the state government owned companies get the services from these energy companies and have been delaying in paying their dues to the energy companies. All these amounts to huge strain on the part of the energy companies and the government has made no effort to address these issues and all these affects the new capacity addition to achieve the targets. Now in wind energy the government is now focusing also on offshore wind projects and has fixed a target to achieve 5 gigawatts for 2022 and 30 gigawatts for 2030 for offshore wind energy capacity. When we say offshore wind it means wind that moves off the shore or off the land that is wind moving from the land to the sea even here the tender has not come yet. Regarding other sectors of renewable energy the author states that the emerging areas in renewable energy are ocean energy and geothermal energy. If the government shows solid commitment by having a long-term vision in these areas then India could leapfrog and lead the world in these sectors. The ocean energy is currently promising and can give energy for 24 hours a day for all years. Ocean energy means energy generated through oceanic waves tides and ocean currents. A research study by Crystal and IIT Madras with respect to ocean energy has recommended for a strong government support in the beginning but there has been no credible response from the government towards this meaningful recommendation. Once ocean energy ocean energy generation will be expensive in the beginning and therefore the author talks about the support from the government. Next with respect to biomass and small hydropower the author says they are in high declining stage and government should take necessary measures to tap the potential in these areas. With this we have come to the end of this article discussion. The displayed brilliance question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next article which is about the purpose of journalism. The discussion based on this article will be relevant in freedom's preparation under current events of national importance and it will also be relevant in your mains preparation under GS paper 2 in the area important aspects of governance transparency and accountability. In this entire editorial the author stresses the fact that the fundamentals and purpose of journalism should remain the same irrespective of the electoral outcomes and the freedom of press should be upheld. Now we have split this editorial into three parts. In the first part we will be seeing the present concerns of press that is listed by the author and in the second part we will be discussing the principles purpose and fundamentals of journalism that is also discussed by the author and in the final part we will be seeing some suggestions given by the author to uphold the freedom of press. Let us see the first part now. The author enlists some of the incidents that happened in the last five years of NDA government and some of the indices and rankings about the freedom of press in India is also mentioned by the author. The author has noted that there is a very disturbing retreat in the information and the media sphere. Here the author indirectly intends to tell that the information provided by the press is misguided or biased. The author then discusses elaborately about the World Press Freedom Index for the year 2019. Now know that this index is released by the Reporters Without Borders. Its original name in French is Reporters Sans Frontiers. Hence it is mentioned as RSF in brackets in this editorial. This Reporters Without Borders is an international non-profit non-governmental organization based in Paris and it conducts political advocacy on issues relating to freedom of information and freedom of the press. Here in this editorial the author has also mentioned some points from the report. This report has documented that how hatred of journalists has degenerated into violence contributing to an increase in fear around the world. The report also tells that there is a steady decline in the number of countries which is regarded as safe where journalists can work in complete security and that the authoritarian regimes or governments continue to tighten their grip on the media. The index has also downgraded India by two ranks that is from 138 to 140 because of two reasons. One is six journalists were murdered in 2018 and the other is critics of Hindu nationalism were branded as anti-Indians in online harassment campaigns. Now more information about this press freedom index has been discussed in our previous session on 23rd April 2019. Check the link given in the description box to add on to this content. It will be helpful in answering the practice main question that we have given along with this discussion. The author has also discussed one more index in the later part of this editorial. This index is named as Global Impunity Index. Here impunity means freedom from the punishment that is to be given. So we know that at least six journalists were murdered in the year 2018 in India but still majority of the murderers are not traceable which means they still roam in freedom without any punishment. Now this creates fear among the journalists to practice their profession. For almost a decade India continues to be under this global impunity index. Know that all the countries are not ranked in this index. Only those countries with high impunity cases are listed and ranked in this index. So Global Impunity Index for the year 2018 has listed 14 countries in this index and India is ranked 14th out of 14 countries listed in the index. Now let us see the second part of the editorial. Here first the author describes about the principles and the purpose of journalism. The author has quoted a textbook on journalism which is titled The Elements of Journalism. According to the authors of this textbook the purpose of journalism is not defined by technology neither by journalists nor even by the techniques they employ. But the principles and purpose of journalism are defined by something more basic that is the function that news plays in the lives of people. The purpose of journalism is to provide citizens with the information they need to make the best possible decisions about their life, their communities, their societies and their governments. Next the author has listed out the fundamentals of journalism. Media scholars have identified two major functions for the news media. One the credible informational function and then the critical analytical investigative function. Here credible informational is the ready made information that is available to the journalists. The author notes that the present political environment in India is not hostile. Here you should see the choice of words that the author has used. The author could have used the word favorable political environment but he has clearly used not hostile which means it is not that unfriendly. Next as the name suggests critical analytical investigative type of journalism needs the journalists to be at and also to do some groundwork in order to gather the news. Now this is where the journalists face innumerable threats to their profession and also to their life. The author tells that there is an intimidating or a threatening environment to the journalist at present in India. He quotes some legal terms like slap which is a strategic lawsuit against public participation, next criminal defamation laws and also mentions that there is a denial of access to crucial information from the government's sides. Here slap's aim is to shut down critical speech by intimidating critics into silence and draining their resources and finally the author notes that when the journalist try to hold those individuals in power these individuals are deploying many ways to weaken the journalist's efforts. This includes from threatening the journalist to killing them. The author before mentioning the purpose of journalism has discussed an interesting quote. He tells that there is an often conflicting demand between what is in public interest and what the public is interested in. If you see at many instances the journalists gather information in the name of public interest but it might not actually be the case. The public was actually interested to know. In the third part of the editorial the author has put forward a list of what we as citizens expect from the media in general and what the media in particular the Hindu expects during the prime minister second term of government. The author states that the prime minister during his first term may have developed a direct communication channel with the people through his social media handles like Twitter, Facebook etc and also through his periodic broadcast monkey bath. The author notes that this direct communication has yielded political advantages to the PM but the author also stresses as the head of the largest democracy in the world the PM and his government needs to constantly interact with the larger news media and not some select players alone. Also he has said that an open press conference in which unscripted questions are encouraged would be a positive development. Next the author tells that salient features of the right to information act must be strengthened so that the proper and time bound information is made available. The author has also given some suggestion to how journalists should work irrespective of whoever is in power. He tells that the journalist should not be apologetic or regretful but instead regain their sense of pride. This should be done by asking probing or investigative questions and such questions should demand accountability should be framed in a way to seek answers and the journalist should always speak the truth. All this will not only serve the purpose of journalism but all these will also ensure that journalism survives as a discipline. With this we have come to the end of this analysis. The displayed practice prelims and main question will be discussed in the last session. Moving on to the next article which is about the minimum support price. The discussion based on this article will be relevant in prelims syllabus under the area current events of national importance and in economic and social development and also under sustainable development. The discussion is also relevant under GS paper 2 in the area government policies and interventions for development in various sectors and issues arising out of their design and implementation. Next in welfare schemes for vulnerable sections of the population by the center and states and the performance of these schemes. Next under GS paper 3 it is relevant in the area major crops cropping patterns in various parts of the country marketing of agricultural produce and issues and related constraints. Next also in issues related to direct and indirect farm subsidies and minimum support prices. The news article talks about the plan of Haryana government to discourage the planting of paddy or rice crops for the upcoming season. This is because paddy is a crop which requires more water for cultivation and this threatens to deplete the state's groundwater. For this move of the government the farmers have asked the government to first come out with a mechanism to procure alternative crops at the minimum support price so that farmers are not at the disadvantaged end. Additionally the farmers want the state government to enact a law which will guarantee the produce of farmer to be purchased only at the MSP. The state government is suggesting the cultivation of maize and tuvar puls that is in English pigeon peas and in Tamil tuvaram parupal. So the Haryana government has decided to start a pilot project from May 27th. In this sowing of maize and tuvar puls would be promoted by giving incentives to farmers. This shows that the government intends to diversify from non basmati paddy to maize and puls. Under this new pilot scheme farmers who are identified will be provided seeds free of cost and will be given a financial assistance of rupees 2000 per acre in two parts. Additionally the maize produce will be procured by government agencies at MSP. Now let us understand what is this MSP to completely understand this article. We know that the prices of agricultural commodities are inherently unstable and this is primarily due to the variation in the supply of agricultural commodities lack of market integration and information asymmetry. So a very good harvest in any year results in a sharp fall in the price of that commodity during that year which in turn will have an adverse impact on the future supply of that commodity as farmers will withdraw from sowing that crop in the next or following years. This then causes scarcity of supply of that commodity the next year and hence will lead to major price increase for consumers. To counter this MSP or minimum support price for major agricultural products is fixed by the government each year. MSP is a tool which gives guarantee to the farmers prior to the sowing season that a fair amount of price is fixed to their upcoming crop. In other words minimum support price is the price at which government purchases crops from the farmers. Minimum support price is an important part of India's agricultural price policy. This is to encourage higher investment and production of agricultural commodities. The MSP is in the nature of an assured market at a minimum guaranteed price that is offered by the government. The MSP helps to incentivize the farmers and thus ensures adequate food grains production in the country. It gives sufficient remuneration to the farmers, provides food grain supply to buffer stocks and supports the food security program through PDS or public distribution system and other programs. The MSP is fixed on the recommendations of the commission for agricultural costs and prices or in short CACP. The CACP is a statutory body and submits separate reports recommending prices of curry and ruby seasons. The central government after considering the report and considering the views of the state governments then also keeping in the view the overall demand and supply situation in the country takes the final decision. Now in the case of sugarcane MSP has been assigned a statutory status and so the announced price is termed as statutory minimum price which was recristened or renamed as fair remunerative price. So, keep in mind that the fair remunerative price is for sugarcane. Note that there is a statutory binding on sugar factories to pay the minimum announced price and all those transactions or purchases at prices lower than the announced price are considered illegal. MSP for the different agricultural crops namely food grains, oil seeds, fiber crops, sugarcane and tobacco are announced by the government of India before their sowing seasons. This makes it possible for the farmer to have an idea about the extent of price insurance cover provided by the government for the crop. The number of crops covered by MSP scheme has now increased to 24. So, at present the MSP covers 24 crops that includes seven cereals that is paddy, wheat, barley, joer, bajra, maize and ragi and then five pulses namely gram, arhar or tur, moong, urad and lentils. Then eight oil seeds such as groundnut, rapeseed or mustard, toria, soybean, sunflower seed, sesame, safflower seed and Niger seed. Then other commercial crops such as cobra, raw cotton, raw jute and virginia flu, cured tobacco. With this we have come to the end of this analysis. The main question displayed here is a previously asked question in the year 2018 in GS paper 3. This has been provided for the benefit of these students. Have a look at it. Moving on to the last article for the day which is about the National Green Tribunal asking the Central Pollution Control Board to exercise its statutory powers. The article discussion will be helpful under prelim syllabus in the area Indian polity and governance and the analysis will also be helpful in mains in general studies paper 3 under the area statutory regulatory and various quasi-judicial bodies and the discussion can also be linked to the area environmental pollution in general studies paper 3. The news article has stated that the National Green Tribunal has asked the Central Pollution Control Board to exercise the statutory power it has under various legislations. Here the word statute means law. So statutory power means the power that is derived from the legal provisions such as from certain sections or provisions in an act of parliament. The NGT has asked to exercise these powers against a private developer who was alleged to have committed environmental violations such as encroachment on green areas and illegal extraction of groundwater. Green areas here refer to agricultural land or those lands that was declared by the appropriate authority in the government as not to be utilized for construction and other activities that are detrimental or harmful to the environment. Earlier the NGT has constituted a committee to look into the various allegations and the committee has also submitted its report to the NGT. The committee also had representatives from CPCB. Despite the report submission no action has been taken by CPCB on the private developer. In the report the CPCB has stated that the project proponent or the developer has to give the action plan. Also it maintained that for the illegal extraction of groundwater the central groundwater authority has to determine the compensation. For the submission by the Central Pollution Control Board the NGT has stated that already the CPCB has powers in the legislation such as the Water Act of 1974 and the Air Act of 1981. The tribunal has asked the board to exercise these statutory powers to prosecute and take actions. Here the word prosecute means to start a trial and to pass sentence and punishment in judicial parlance. But in the context of this article CPCB has to carry out inquiry and to pass appropriate penalties and punitive actions on the developer. Also the CPCB is entitled to disconnect electricity and water supply and to take other measures for stopping the illegal activities of the developer. The developer has to abide by CPCB's orders. If it does not abide by the orders the permission given to the developer shall be withdrawn. Now in this context let us discuss the National Green Tribunal and the Central Pollution Control Board in brief. There will be articles coming in the news in the following days so we will discuss about these institutions in deeper in the coming days. National Green Tribunal or NGT is a statutory body as it was established by the National Green Tribunal Act of 2010. The purpose of establishment of NGT was for the effective and speedy disposal of cases relating to environmental protection and forest conservation and also other natural resources. Here cases may also be relating to enforcement of any legal right relating to environment. It also includes giving relief and compensation for damages caused to persons and property. It was established to provide speedy environmental justice and to help reduce the burden of litigation in environmental matters in higher courts. The tribunal is mandated to take necessary steps for speedy disposal of applications or appeals within six months of filing. The principal place of sitting of the tribunal is New Delhi. Now let us see about the Central Pollution Control Board or CPCB. CPCB is also a statutory body constituted under the Water Act of 1974. The CPCB has been entrusted with the powers and functions under the Air Act of 1981 and CPCB comes under the Ministry of Environment and Forests. On an overall picture it has responsibility for prevention and control of water and air pollution under respective legislations such as Water Act and Air Act. With this we have come to the end of our analysis session. The practice prelims question displayed here will be discussed in the next session. Moving on to the last session for the day that is the practice questions discussion session. The first question is consider the following statements with reference to the Institutions of Eminence Scheme. Now here the first statement is partially correct as under this scheme 10 public institutions are to be notified and identified to emerge as world-class teaching and research institutions. But along with 10 public institutions 10 private institutions are also to be identified not five institutions. So as a whole statement one is wrong. Here the question asks for the correct statements as statement one is wrong option A and C can be eliminated. The second statement is correct as under the scheme the institutions of eminence will be provided financial assistance of up to Rs 1000 crore over a period of five years by the central government. And next the third statement states that all institutes of Indian Institute of Technology have been granted the Institute of Eminence status which is wrong because we saw that until now only six institutions have been granted the Institute of Eminence status and under them three are public and three are private institutions and only two IITs have been granted the status under public sector category which are IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi. Hence statement three is wrong. So we can eliminate option D also. So the correct answer to this question is option B 2 only. The next question is which among the following institutions of eminence have been listed under green field category. Now for this question try to remember that we discussed the term green field category. It means the institution has not yet been established. It is a separate category where the sponsoring organizations will set up new institutions. Under this category the J Institute will be set up by the Reliance Foundation. So here the correct answer is option B Jio Institute of Reliance Foundation which will be set up in Pune, Maharashtra. The next question is consider the following statements and we have to choose the correct statement from the given statements. Here the first statement is correct because while launching the target of the mission it was kept as 20,000 megawatt or 20 gigawatt by 2022 but the target was later revised to 100 gigawatt which makes this statement one as correct statement. And if you look at the second statement it talks about the target set by government in renewable energy sector and the statement has correctly given the targets such as 100 gigawatt for solar and 60 gigawatt for wind, 10 gigawatt for bio power and 5 gigawatt from small hydropower. Remember that you have to keep these numbers in memory because most probably these numbers will not change at least before will not change before 2021. So the correct answer to this question is option C both 1 and 2. The next question is press freedom index is released by which of the following organization? This is a very direct question so the correct answer to this question is option B reporters without borders which is also called as reporters on frontiers in French also try to know that transparency international releases global corruption perception index and international press institute and news media coalition are fewer other international journalism organization. The next question is consider the following statements with respect to the national green tribunal. Now in this question if you analyze they have given two statements look at statement two it says that the principal place of sitting of NGT is New Delhi. This statement will not create much disturbance in the examination hall but look at statement one even though we may know that NGT has to deal with environment such statements leads us to some confusion. Today we know that this statement is correct as we have already discussed this in our analysis session but if you want to remember this even after a year or some months you have to clearly fix this statement in your mind. The statement is NGT can take cases relating to enforcement of any legal right relating to environment as this statement is a definite statement and the statement does not say NGT can take cases relating to environment enforcement of some legal rights relating to environment. Therefore whenever you study about an institution or anything give importance to such definite and clear statements. So finally the correct answer to this question option C both one and two. Now let us see one main question based on G.S. paper two. In the world press freedom index India stands very low discuss briefly about the issues that impede the freedom of press and suggest some measures to improve the present condition. Now there are two statements in this question so we can split this question into two. The first statement is a fact which speaks about India's rank in world press freedom index. So discuss about the index India's ranking in the index and also about the comments on India. The statement asks to discuss about the issues that affect the press freedom and suggest some measures. Here you can include some of the present issues and laws that affect the freedom of press which we have discussed in the editorial session. You can also use suggestions that we have discussed in the editorial to answer the second part of the statement and also try to include your own appropriate points while answering the second statement.

I'm gonna clean up the lens and get started What's up everyone today is Wednesday? Usually I do these videos every single Monday But Tosh is out today. So I'm gonna cover and make a video on Wednesday It's gonna kind of really quickly recap the market action and I'm gonna open this up to an audience Q&A if pretty much the most most commonly asked questions and day trading so Let's kind of recap where we're at, right? So right now.  It's the most boring the slowest the most dead month ever, right? So This is just a market cycle guys the market moves in cycles, right? So What I've been reminding people is just because there's one month of slow action Does not mean anything if the other 11 months are crazy, right? So we haven't seen anything yet in the markets and I think this is kind of teaching a lot of people a lot of bad habits A lot of people are overstaying a lot of people are Oversizing a lot of people are losing their risk management in these type of markets and one day one day It's all it takes for it to get screwed up. So I think we're very very close volume is slowly starting to come back into these stocks They're starting to act a little bit more trappy So what I've been doing in this market guys is for the small caps. I've just been waiting I just been on the sidelines. I haven't really been attacking. I haven't really been doing anything I've kind of been you know focusing more on large cap stocks because that's where there's a lot of attention right now Especially with the Fed meeting and this is not my first time trading large cap stocks It's not my first time doing that stuff. So I have had experience in this But I have a pretty much a 90% win rate in small caps. So that's where I focus most of my attention But when the market is slow, I don't mind looking elsewhere. I don't mind trying to learn new strategies I don't mind expanding my playbook and just doing it with small size, right? So for me guys for me in this market I've just been taking it really slow. I've been trading for eight years now My eight year anniversary is next month. So I've been seeing pretty much all types of market action I've learned in my eight years of trading that if the market is slow You're better off just relaxing and taking it easy and not really sizing up because The last thing you want to do is burn your mental capital when the market is slow And then when the market heats up again all of a sudden you're already tired you're beat you're exhausted You've been chopped up. You've been death by thousand knives, whatever it may be. So in these market conditions guys I'm just chilling.  So that's kind of where I'm at in the market. I've been scalping, you know Volatility I've been scalping Tesla.  I'm using size that doesn't really change my life It's very just small methodical Testing ideas just trying to learn and expand until the small cap market comes back because when the small cap market heats up again when the cycle heats up again, then it's gonna be time to make money and What will lead to a small cap cycle or small cap market heating up again? And I'm gonna tell you guys very simple all it takes is one runner one runner. I thought it was gonna be SRR a Right now. It's kind of just trading up. It's not really up to anything but For me guys for me.  So in the market when people are getting very comfortable shorting lows when people are Oversizing when people are looking for all-day faders all takes is one of them one stock to not conform to that shitty pattern And everyone gets stuck the longest get cut off guard the shorts get cut off guard We get a parabolic runner and then for the next couple days next couple weeks, you know The market's crazy and that's why you see pumpers in this market not being able to make money What was working is six months ago for these pumpers because by fucking everything doesn't work anymore, right? It doesn't work for a couple reasons number one the market sentiment the market cycle does not allow for dumb money chasing to work in This current market cycle and number two all the people that were buying six months ago seven months ago are all broken out They're all bankrupt.   But until then I'm just waiting. I'm waiting like a good Like a good hunter.   It's actually very interesting because I want to also remind you guys What is kind of happening in this market? So on the day that this is being recorded the Federal Reserve is gonna have its minutes at 2 p.m a lot of people liked when I talked about that in the last video and basically all you need to do is There's no way of anticipating There's no way of knowing what the Fed is gonna do whichever way the market goes That's the way you got to follow because you got to follow the trend, right?  So Before I get into the Q&A for today, I want to remind you guys about our meetup So we are hosting a trader meetup this Saturday January 29 in California. It was 100% free to attend. There's no strings attached This is your chance to meet me. It is your chance to me bow This is your chance to meet the MIC team and this is your chance to network and meet other traders When I first started trading and even now eight years in I have no friends in the real world that understand trading All my friends are an MIC virtual, right? So when we started MIC our goal was to unite traders and bring traders together, but then COVID happened We couldn't host any more meetups So this is gonna be kind of our first meetup back from COVID and all the information is that my investing club comm slash meetup It's free to attend. All you have to do is register. You just got to register and we'll see you there It's gonna be set up in a wide open park. So there's gonna be no masks We're gonna have pizza park games and it's gonna be very chill very casual very laid-back No presentations know nothing crazy. It's just your chance to meet other people that are passionate about the same thing as you Which is trading right?  We're not planning on doing anything out of it It's just our way of kind of giving back and going back to why we started this community, right?  So we'll see you there. It's gonna be a great great great great great great great time Okay So now Let's open it up into an audience Q&A. Obviously, this is a live video So I'm gonna read the Q&A from the live chat And then if you guys have any other questions, you could just leave a comment on the video after and I'll go back And I'll reply to it. So if you guys have any questions, let's talk about it right now It's up Alex on a first red day setup if you short when it goes red Where is your risk on these is it gonna be too wide for risking high today? Yes on a first red day setup I like to risk a reclaim of red to green because if it reclaims red to green and holds setup is no longer valid At the meetup at the park, you guys don't need to have vaccine You just need to have proof of vaccination if you're trying to go to any of the restaurants in California What was your thesis on Vix yesterday Vix is a very very complex trading vehicle guys I do not recommend you guys trade it unless you know what the hell you are doing, right? So Vix just measures volatility right a lot of people think it's the inverse for most of you guys just ignore it I've been trading it for a very long time. It's a very very extreme extreme risk So that's something that you shouldn't worry about unless you've already been trading it multiple times And I do not recommend trading it unless you know what you're doing What studies do you use for scalping again guys?  Honestly guys. I'm more of like a visual learner I'm not like a reading learner. So I just watch a lot of videos and a lot of content on YouTube about Anything successful.  It's better not to anticipate the Fed is better just wait for them to say what they're gonna say and then follow the trend Hey Alex, can you tell me if a stock will pop or bounce or fade at the open if I knew every single stock that would pop or Bounce or fade at the open.  It does not exist guys. It does not exist. You have to use probabilities You have to use charting you have to use all these things to predict a possible probability the stock doing what you think it will do Can you talk about your exponential growth when you started trading career to now? I mean guys, there was no day that I just woke up and I made you know a million dollars in a day, right?  I lost money My second year trading. I broke even my third year trading. I start to make a little bit of money, right? It was not until year four and year five that I start to make Exponential money, right? So I mean a lot of people that are joining and learning right now I think that you're gonna be a millionaire in six months. It doesn't exist, right?    So there was no day no one random day that I woke up and I made $700,000 an AMC it was after a culmination of years and years and years of doing the same setup Which was the first red day setup and then seeing when the opportunity was there to load up and size up And that's when it happened, right? How do you get into the zone before open? I always feel anxious and nervous. So I have a routine guys So let me tell you what my routine is when I'm getting ready for the open. So I am a neat freak, okay? I don't know if it's the Virgo and me.   It calms me down There's everyone always has something that maybe calms them down for me. It's cleaning.        They told me that once they set up a max loss at the broker level They now knew the maximum amount that they could lose every day and that calmed them down Okay, because the problem is you're fearful because you don't know how much money you're gonna lose on any given losing day But if you set up max loss at the broker level Then your losses are capped and that fear of losing more than that cap gets removed and trading becomes easier Replay that part replay that part right now because that's that might be the secret for you and for bow I know bow likes to listen to music. He likes to listen to modern rock He likes to listen to the fact Phantom of the opera bow listens to music to calm him down for trading, right? So everyone has something that helps him calm down guys and on top of that That thing that you do to calm yourself down. You must also have a plan in the morning So as bow is listening to his music. He's placing his fantasy orders.  I like cleaning around. I like I just like being in a clean environment Okay, I just like being in a clean environment because if there's a mess it kind of sticks in my brain I get nervous I get anxious. So that's what works for me, right?  I don't like to listen to music I like to clean around. So that's just one way to kind of help you prepare for the morning That's just one way to kind of help you get your shit together.  I don't know. Maybe drink some tea Maybe I don't know.  I don't know. I really don't know You know what it is, right? So that's that Let me kind of go back because that was a pretty big tangent When you first started did you have a long-term mindset or is that something that you developed? When I first started guys from day one, I treated trading as a business I did not treat it as gambling and because I treated it as a business I know that it was gonna take some time It's like a little bit longer than I wanted because I didn't really have the support system that MIC did It was just me and bow doing it together, right? So that kind of was what it took me a little bit longer, but the fact there's a support system now There's no excuses guys. There's no excuses I'm going back right now Hey, Alex on BBIG first read that you traded it reclaimed green after a wet red Do you cut it when it goes green and reshort? What I would do is I would cut half at green and reshort when it confirmed Any type of discount to join email Tosh Tosh at myinvestingclub.com and we might be able to do a discount on a case-by-case basis Hey, man, you always say that having a difficult stock to short is good because you have less competition Is that because there's more sellers basically guys if a stock is easy to borrow there's more people shorting it If a stock is hard to borrow there's less people shorting it because there's lack of access to the borrow and that means that there's less Competitions there's probably a higher probability of the stock going down if it's hard to borrow Guys today call your broker and set up a max daily loss. This will protect you 100% You mentioned you've been trading for the last eight years where you're trading full-time or part-time I was trading when I was at Starbucks guys.  So I was I've been trading part-time forever even now as a full-time trader I'm only trading part-time.  That's how you make your money So do not be focused on being here from 930 to 4 if I was here from 930 to 4 I would have probably not made $3 million dollars. I would probably made $300.  Do not quit your day job Trading is very stressful.   Are you worried about your losses getting out of control? Does that make sense? Okay? Do you still have red days from time to time? Let me show you something motherfuckers So I want to show you something guys this is my Trader view of 2021 This is my trader view. Do you see how many red days I had?     This is your opportunity and It's gonna be a great time.    I already have plenty.   So anyway guys, I'll see you guys back in the room. Hopefully

So we had basically a thousand faculty that we had to train to teach online and there were maybe 12 people on this loose team of it adjacent support. And because I had that buy in from our teaching center director, because I had such expensive experience using it, we were able to basically make a very easy sell to the powers that be to integrate with hypothesis and get that. The pilot kicked off and in doing so, we were able to integrate it into the course that we built for a small cohort of 65 faculty trainers from their departments. So they applied to participate in this faculty learning community. They spent two weeks intensively learning about the nuances and interest intricacies of online education. And then they're currently engaged right now in developing their own faculty learning communities that they will then turn around and deliver to their departments. So, in one way, it's kind of like 12 people are training 65 people who are training 1000 people. So, because we were able to integrate hypothesis into that initial cohort, we were able to expose people to this new practice of digital annotation of social collaborative annotation hypothesis is the tool that we chose because it was the one that we had the most experience with, but it got people thinking it got the faculty thinking that, you know, online education doesn't have to be discussion boards, they can engage with text more deeply. And just this idea that practices online can be substantially different they don't have to be a transition or just a shift of modality. There are different affordances that that are available when we when we move to online and that gets them thinking differently about how they teach.


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Buike, has said he made seem Fubara, River State Governor. Buike stated this on Tuesday during a media chat with some select journalists in Abuja. The ex-River State Governor addressed issues surrounding the political crisis in the state since he fell out with his success of Fubara. The Governor had accused him of controlling him in the election of AIDS, budget making and how to rule the state. The Minister responded by saying the Governor did not honor the agreement they entered into before he met the Governor in 2023. The Minister's loyalist in the State Assembly moved against the Governor, leading to several moves to ask him from office. Buike said he made him Governor as he had stated on several occasions, even buying, that time will tell who controls the state. I have here the constant aircrafts coming from the House of Assembly that you were in position to do. Because you more or less think you have already put those guys.. I'm putting them here. So what is the problem with them? Okay. You are the tone. What is the problem now? Has he come to term it as a problem? He wants to do on his own. They need a political vampire who are almost sucking my pity for them. They just want to take over these small boys. You know, they are these young boys. We turn that old. They have a space now to make sure to get something from them. Now, these people can't withstand hunger. Since I kicked them out. So they don't want to take over these boys' role to continue to suck. First of all, second is not a member of our party. The former state governor also revealed that he was not working with Dr. Peter O'Dilly, former state governor. O'Dilly and wife Maria reported the strong supporters of the incumbent governor. He referenced what's happening in Aquabomb state saying Aquabomb governor took every member of the governor's cabinet. Wait, why are you abusing me? Why do you believe that I have the right to vote on the assembly group? Who are the other boys? They are the other boys. These don't have the right to vote. They are the other boys. So the other boys have the right to vote. Yes, they have the right to vote on the assembly group. You know, the people don't understand that. I was, you know, in the other day. And so, in the public conference, made by transitional politicians, political vampires, and political leaders. He was an understatement. We want to make him an understatement. We would call him an understatement. I know that you are not going to get the right to vote on the assembly group. You know, we believe that you are going to get the right to vote on the assembly group. So we believe that you are going to get the right to vote on the assembly group.  So you are supporting Fumar for what? Is there any election? Do you want me to approach you into this cabinet? To buy a new impeachment? What is impeachment? I'm not going to let this go down.  Do not support Fumar. As you can. Don't support.


All right, hi ma'am, how are you doing? I'm fine, how are you? Good, thank you. Please introduce yourself and just tell us who you are on Team Sayari. Let us know. My name is Susan Kimansi, I'm with White Rhino Films, and I am the producer of Team Sayari. Awesome. Awesome. How has it just been a producer for this, you know, one of its kind, sort of series here in Kenya? How is it? It's been amazing. It is amazing. This project has been groundbreaking for all of us as a team, and it has been really, truly amazing. We're so happy to be part of this project, we're so happy to be, you know, working on this amazing show with amazing kids from all over the continent. I think the best part of this show is, you know, just the way everybody has come together from Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, South Africa, Kenya to develop this content, this show for our children, African kids. Yes. Amazing. Now, I mean, it could have been produced anywhere in Africa or anywhere in the globe, but why Kenya? I think, you know, our conservation stories in Kenya are usually mind-blowing. We do have amazing biodiversity here. I think, you know, Wildlife Direct, who is the principal, who is one of our partners in this project, being based in Kenya, you know, that's how we ended up being a Kenyan production. So, Wildlife Direct, our partners are Kenyan, we are a Kenyan company, so it made sense to be a Kenyan production. Yes. That is so good to hear. Now, what kind of reception are you guys expected for Team Sayari? I think Team Sayari, first of all, is very cool. I think kids and parents are going to love being part of Team Sayari.  I think we're expecting an amazing reception from our viewers, and we do hope that, you know, the stories we are telling are going to challenge everyone across the board to take part in conservation, to play an active role, and to see themselves as the protectors of the planet, because that's what Team Sayari is all about, it's about protecting the planet. Yes. Now, you've mentioned earlier that the production is still ongoing. When are we able to view this and just the kids watch it? When are we able to do that? So, the first episode is on September 24th on Nat Geo Wild, and will be ongoing until February 2023 for the first season. So, look out for us on Nat Geo Wild, 2 p.m., it's African time. You'll see Team Sayari. Yes. Awesome, awesome. Now, as we wind up, a parent that is watching this interview, give them one reason why they should let their kids watch this. It's knowledge that is relevant, it's knowledge about the world that we live in, it is the most cutting edge kids show to have been developed on this continent. It's cool, it's fun, and it is informative, educative, it's an amazing show. I mean, if you're not sold out, I don't know what you could possibly watch. Thank you so much for talking to us. Thank you so much for being here, and we're so excited. Thank you. Alright guys, I'm hanging out with Michael. He's going to be introducing himself and telling us what he is doing for Team Sayari. Hi Michael. Hello, my name is Michael, I'm the showrunner for Team Sayari, which basically means I kind of like oversee everything, all the different departments.  How has it been? I think it's been a combination of emotions. It's been exciting, it's been challenging, it's been exhilarating, but like I keep saying it's mostly it's been fulfilling because it's such a rare opportunity to work on with two things you love. You're working with kids, but you're also working on conservation, and our company is called White Rhino, our sister company is called Black Rhino because we've always had that passion for conservation and kind of like telling that African narrative on stories that have to do with conservation and humanitarian type stories. Okay, now talking about kids, you know, working with kids is a little bit different to like working with grown-ups, you know? How was it and how are you able to just make the kids comfortable? How is it? Well, I think people keep saying that it's a challenge to work with kids, in some respects it is, but it's also not because I have two kids and because we're making a factual show, we're not going out there telling them, you know, if you want this and this type of performance. We chose these kids so that their own personalities can shine through. So what was important for us was to create an atmosphere and environment where these kids can just be themselves. So in that regard, it hasn't been as challenging as you would think, but I guess the challenge has been making content that resonates with kids. Now talking about resonating, if our parent is watching this interview today, why would they recommend their children to watch Tinsayari? One because it will be entertaining. Because you watch content because it's supposed to be entertaining, right? But at the same time, it's supposed to be educational. So it's edutainment. But I think bigger than that is this show, I think has the ability to be one of those shows that encourage kids to be part of the solution or to kind of like own the narrative of conservation in Africa. Because for the longest time, that narrative has not been kind of like in our hands. We've not yet realized and we're starting to realize that, listen, we can be the chain makers for our conservation. It's not about other people doing it. It's about us owning that and making the change to take care of this beautiful continent we have as well as this beautiful planet. Now being produced in Kenya, it's one of its kind, but I'm really interested to know what is that advantage that it had been produced here in Kenya as compared to any other place? Yeah, that's a good question, but I'd say, I mean, Kenya is known for its beautiful landscapes, for its diverse ecology, like there's so much stuff in Kenya. And I think already that's an advantage because when we're talking about, say, a topic like human wildlife conflict and how to resolve that, there's real life examples of those solutions happening here. There's so many different kids in the field because we wanted to show also kids in the fields that are part of the solution. There are many of them here and in Rwanda and in Tanzania and in South Africa. But I think doing it here is good because I think our industry is at that, the cusp of blowing up and becoming something and being more than a blip on the map and actually becoming real, really recognized content creators in Africa. And I think this really helps kind of like leapfrog us to that level. Yeah, amazing. I mean, we can't really wait to see what you guys have done there. Afternoon. Afternoon, I think that should be a viewing. So yes, you guys let us know what you think. All right, sure. We will. Thank you, Michael. Cool. You're welcome. All right. All right, guys, that was Michael, the showrunner of a team at Sayari. Thank you so much for watching. All right, guys, I'm hanging out with Tracy.  Hi, Tracy. Hi, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. Please introduce yourself. I am the executive producer for Team Sayari. On me? Yes. I mean, so what's your role as an executive producer? What were you doing? Well, I'm the executive producer from the channel side. So my aim is to work with the creative team at White Rhino Films and make sure that the vision they're pushing forward in terms of the show and where it's going creatively and editorially, definitely aligns with National Geographic and making sure that we're creating a show together that aligns with the channel as well as the vision of the show. And how does it feel so far? You know, just working with creatives. How does it feel so far? Great. This is the best part of television production. I get to be part of the editorial team where we get to create the show and decide what are the mechanisms that push the story forward? What themes do we choose? How do we do it? What does what does Funzi look like, you know? So it's been an outstanding, you know, just experience to work with the Kenyan team and to just make sure that we're telling a story that we believe is authentic. Yeah, great. I mean, authenticity, 100%. Now, I know it's one of its kind in Kenya, produced in Kenya. How was it working with Kenya as it? I mean, then the wildlife itself, how was the experience? The experience is still ongoing because we're still producing a lot more, but it's been really great. And I've really just embraced this opportunity to really create a pan African series. Whilst the hub and the main area of production is Kenya, we're also working with Rwanda in Nigeria and South Africa. But to work in Kenya is really just a real blessing. I'm really like, you know, doing my best to be like Sawa Sawa, you know, but I'm really loving working with the Kenyans. I'm really like being here. Kenya is an outstanding place. And of course, a real, you know, there's a huge gravitational pull to Kenya in terms of wildlife and conservation. So to be a part of it all has been really a privilege. Amazing. Now, I mean, I know as an executive producer, you've worked with a different type of cast. You've worked with grownups, you've worked with kids again. But I want to know what is the difference between having a cast with kids and grownups, especially for your role? With kids, I think there's a lot more scope to lack of a better word, play, explore. And I think that's a really great place for a channel like National Geographic, which is all about igniting the explorer in you and making sure that energy of curiosity and adventure is pulled through. So it's really great to be in a space where we're working with kids and to actually see production anew because they're experiencing things for the first time, whereas most of the time when you're working with adults, they've done it before. They have their ways of doing things.  But then all of a sudden working with kids starts to ignite a little bit more in you because you remember. You remember the first time you stepped on set. You remember the first time you heard the script being said. So it's been an awesome experience to just see production anew through their eyes. Yeah, good. Now, as we went up, Tracy, please tell a parent that is watching this interview why they should recommend this to their children to watch. I recommend it for their children to watch because they can see what kids in Africa are doing. You know, sometimes we think to ourselves, well, oh, that's for them overseas or that's for. No, it's for us as well. We're capable of telling these stories. We're capable of caring. We're capable of starting the conversation. And I'm really, really proud of the show for that reason alone because it's really a conversation that kids are having with adults. And I think that's why parents should watch it to be able to go. Oh, is this what their real concerns are? Is this really important to children? And I think it's just something that I would love to inspire every adult to also participate in, also ask the questions and also go along the journey with the kids. Yeah, thank you so much, Tracy, and have a good time. Thank you. All right, all right. All right, guys, I'm hanging out with Shanna and she is a part of the cast of Tim Sayari. Hi, Shanna. Hello. You look beautiful. Thank you. How does it feel to be part of an international project?  How does it feel? It feels amazing, first of all. I get to meet new people, go new places and also learn a lot of things about wildlife, nature and so much more. Yeah. How was it getting in here? How did you get, you know, to just have this role? How was it? I went through auditions and then I was called back after the first audition and then they picked a group of people and I was one of them. Amazing. But I'm really interested to know now when you went for the auditions, did you know it was, you know, like Disney? Absolutely not. Like, I didn't even know why I was there, like the poppers, you know. So I went and I'm like, I wonder what this is for. Yeah, so I did auditions and then later on, once I was already chosen, I'm like, what? Disney? I never knew. So how was that moment? Did you like get a call? How was that moment for you? I'm pretty sure I wasn't there, right? So my dad and mom, I think they received a message or something. Yeah, and then they were out at that time and I was at home. So when they came back, they were like, I have some news for you. And I'm like, what is it? Like, tell me. Yeah. And then they told me and I was so surprised. And then my dad's like, hold on, wait a minute. Let me just go and confirm. Yes.  Yeah, that is so good to hear. Now, I mean, I know you've done a couple of other roles, but I'm really interested to know what was different on this one. That is very notable. Ah, OK. It's very clear. First of all, very clear. This set is very like. First of all, the set is really creative, right? Who would have come up with Funzi? Like, exactly. And then the set, the people, the crew, that's so nice. I mean, they take care of us and everything. And then the food. Oh, yeah. Yes. Yeah. Oh, that's really good to hear. Now, what do you expect to change in your life after this big opportunity? What are your expectations? And to be honest, I do not know. I don't because you never know what's coming. Yeah, but I bet you're anticipating. You know, very great things. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, so what are your friends saying about this opportunity? Have you told them? Actually, I'm new in school. I moved schools, right? Because I needed to change the systems. So they do not know about me, like, at all. But probably my past school knows. Yeah. You haven't, like, had a chat with your past colleagues or past schoolmates? Not recently. I think I'll do that today. Yeah. They're going to see you and interview all of us. So they're, you know, they're going to come and look in for you. Yeah. That is so good to hear. Please tell, you know, the kids out there why they should watch Team Sayari. I would say watch Team Sayari because, first of all, it's cleaning the planet. And who doesn't love a clean planet? It helps with health. It just helps with organizations. It's clean. Yeah. Because the planet is our only home, exactly. And also, it's really fun trying to figure out what the clues are. Sometimes even I'm confused at first. And then eventually I'm like, oh my gosh, that's what it means. It actually goes well together with today's plan and everything. It actually gets you thinking. Yes, it does. All right, all right, Shana. Please, I would like to know as we wind up, what is that one lesson you've learned in this production? First of all, I have learned never, ever come without eating. We need to get our wardrobe set. We need to prepare. We need to go through the script and everything. But if you are hungry, this is a lot of work, let me tell you. We put a lot of effort into this Team Sayari. So if you don't have enough energy, you will be tired all day until we get to our breaks and the lunch. I mean, Shana, thank you so much. I'm tempted to keep asking more questions and more questions. But I think that's enough. Thank you so much and all the very best. Thank you. Thank you for having me. All right, guys, that was Shana. And she is a part of the cast of Team Sayari. We can't wait to see what she has done on that series. Thank you so much for watching. All right, guys, I'm hanging out with a famous Sheila Sheldon. Hi, Sheila. You know, probably someone else has never seen your work or just give us, like, what are those two awards that you have won or something you have achieved that you feel so blessed to have done that? So I received the Global Child Projude Award 2020. And we were only three from Africa. And that was like the first time for them to do a launch. It was kind of like a launch. They're launching the award. And also in 2021, I received the Nina Simone artistic honoree as a black entrepreneur. Yes. Yeah. Tell us who you drew.  Who it is. I've drawn the president of Kenya, the former, Uhuru Magai Kenyatta, and met him. And also the president of Uganda and also met him twice. Amazing. Let me ask you. I know it's past and it's something that has been gone for a long time. But how was it just drawing the president and him recognizing your effort and you even meeting him?  And it was a really a big opportunity for me.  It's like me and you sitting right now. So he's like just like that. He doesn't make you feel nervous. All the presidents I've met, they're all the same. They are just nice people who really love children. And I was eight years old. So it was an honor to actually meet him. And him recognizing my talent at that young age was really amazing, yeah. I'm really interested to know, how old are you now? I'm 13. 13, quite an achievement that you have achieved in those few years. How was it working with Tim Sayari? Tim Sayari is an amazing opportunity for me actually. Meeting all these people from different countries in Africa and being a part of conserving the environment. I think it's really important for us to kind of educate young children. It's a program for children by children. So I'm really happy to be a part of it. And I really enjoyed it. I learned new things. And I'm still learning new things because I have more shoots to go. Talking of learning, what is that one lesson that you've so far learned, that you feel you're going to take it a long way with you? I think the one lesson I've learned is to always kind of look out for the environment, conserving it, educating people. And I think through my art, I've also been able to do that. So that's the one lesson I've always learned, spreading awareness about the environment, the wildlife, and what is happening to the world. So yeah, that's really important. Great. Now, if a child is watching right now and you would want to tell them that you need to watch Tim Sayari, tell them why. I think the main reason to why you need to watch Tim Sayari is because you're going to meet, not really meet, but see young children like you who are doing amazing things, going to different places, getting to learn new things from experts which you never even knew, like things you learn new things. And I think it's really important for all of you to know about conservation and why our planet needs to be protected and all the animals need to be protected. So Tim Sayari really educates that so you should watch it. Brilliant. Last question. What is the challenge that you had, especially when starting off the production of Tim Sayari, what is that one challenge that you've been able to, you know? So like the first challenge is actually the script. Like, you know, the script, you have to kind of know what you're going to do. And I think the first time I was actually auditioning, I messed up a lot, but Tim Sayari and the production team really believed in me and I really thank them so much because they gave me the opportunity and they saw something in me and now I am making all of them proud and doing my best. Yeah. Thank you so much. We wish you all the very best and we also hope that this particular project is going to open more doors for you. I hope so too. All right. Thank you, my dear. Asante. All right guys, that was Sheldon. She is a part of the crew, rather the cast of Tim Sayari and we can't wait to see what she has done there as well. Thank you. Hi guys, I'm hanging out with one of the cast of Tim Sayari and he's going to be introducing himself. Hi. Hi, I'm Christian and I'm from Tim Sayari, from Rwanda and I'm 11 years old. Amazing. Have you always lived in Kenya or you just came in for now shooting this? I just came in. I've always lived in Rwanda. Yes. Since I was four, I've lived in Rwanda. Amazing. Oh, where did you live before you were four? Uganda. You traveled the globe, I see that. Now, how was it, you know, just being cast for Tim Sayari? When did you get the news?  How was it? So my aunt gave my mom the news and then so I auditioned and I was also surprised to be selected. Oh, okay. I mean, so I worked hard for it but still I felt like there were other kids who were very good at it out there so I was like, I'm probably not going to get it.  Like, I'll give you? No, I haven't. It's my first time. Serious. How lucky are you? Your first project is on Disney. Amazing. How is the experience, you know, been on set? How are they treating you? How was it? How is it? So it's very fun and educational. So I've learned a lot about it. It's very interesting. So I like being on set because, I mean, the way you get to read, you get to read on what you're going to be talking about and stuff like that. Yeah. Okay, now talking about learning, what is that one lesson that you know this is? This one is, I've gotten it from here. So conservation. So I've learned how to conserve the earth very well by using less plastic and not causing any traps or anything. Anything that could hurt an animal. Oh, okay.  Keeping all the lines in my head. It's hard to remember every line. So it's kind of like constant repeating, constant reading and memorizing. So that's what I'm doing. But I learned how to keep it natural so I can, you know, get it right. Yeah. Now, for a kid that is watching today, please tell them why they should watch Team Sayaka. I think they should watch Team Sayaka or which could teach them conserve the earth and learn a lot about nature. Yeah. Amazing. Thank you so much for talking to us and we can't wait to see the kind of job that you've done there. Thank you. All right, all right. Thank you guys for watching. Of course, still on the cast of Team Sayari and I've been joined by a beautiful lady. Hi. Hi. Please introduce yourself. What's your name? My name is Tando Fani. I'm 15 years old. I'm from South Africa. And I'm an artist. Amazing. What else do you do apart from acting or that you said you're an artist? I draw and paint, sing, dance. I enjoy all of the arts. Multitalented, amazing. Is it your first time to be in Kenya? It is. It's actually my first time out of South Africa. It's really exciting. I'm so grateful to be here, you know? Yes. You know, I'm really interested to know that when you received the call that you have the job, how was it? Well, it was actually load shedding. So I was sitting in the dark and then I got the call and I was like, okay. They were telling me the feedback about the call back and they were like, yeah, you did good. By the way, they confirmed you. And I was like, what? And I was really excited and I ran and told my parents. Yeah, it was great. Yeah. And how is it now just being here in Kenya? How is the experience in Kenya? How are you finding it? Like, I still can't believe it that I'm here. And I, yeah, I've done it. You know, it's, yeah. It was a really fun project to be a part of. And I'm really glad I got the opportunity. Yeah.  And how was it? How were you able to overcome it? I think at the very beginning there was a lot of fear. So I was like, oh, I don't know, I'm scared. You know, because I used to be in plays. So theater I was used to, but I've never really presented. So I had to get into that. I also fell a lot, like in the long grass, I tripped a lot in the grass. So that was not fun. Yeah. How is it going right now? It's going good. I think as I'm doing it, I'm growing in terms of experience. And it's becoming a bit easier for me. Yeah. But I mean, because now you do all this, you've been in theater, I think it's perfect to ask you this as a child. How old are you? I'm 15. Now as a child, how has it been in the art industry, in the entertainment industry? Are there any challenges that you face just because you're younger? I think there's a lot of self-doubt. Okay. But at the end of the day, I'm like, this is what I want to do. This is what I'm passionate about. So I'm going to work hard and push, you know? Yeah. And how do you take about, you know, because people will always have opinions, you know? How do you take people's opinion? I've always said to myself that other people's feelings are valid, you know?  But this is how I feel. So, you know? But I also use that as criticism sometimes. Yeah. Brilliant, brilliant. Now, please tell a child that is, you know, watching this interview, why they should watch Tim Sayari. Guys, I think you should watch Tim Sayari because it helps teach you about the earth and what you can do to save the earth. Because after all, this is our home. We need to take as much care of it as we can so that we can live for many, many more years. Yeah. Thank you so much for talking to us. We can't wait to see what you've done in the series and all the best. Thank you so much. All right. All right, guys. Thank you for watching. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go. Bop, bop, bop.
