So far had my sherry as up this steich, what are the exact figures, Pat? It's gone just from 49.9% to 68.6%. By the end of the season it'll have gone up to 77.2%. There you go. There you go. Pat's nose. Does it mean anything? It means he's the youngest, he's the majority shareholder, which he was, he's increased it. I suppose it means he's got more control over the club than what he did off. I think this was always planned, but people were kind of going, I don't know whether he's going to increase it, why would he, and all of those conversations. And today it's been announced that he has, and there's plans to go to 77% as well. By the end of the season. Which is in the contract though, isn't it? It's in the contract. I suppose people will love it and go, well it was always planned, but I suppose the timing of it is quite interesting. Why? What's going on? Just giving this mate some spare cash line I've had. Well actually there's two bits of information. One you've just alluded to and there's another one which might have a little bit more significance actually. So he's gone, he's bought the shares, John Woods it looks like he's bought. John Woods has 3,000 odd shares, he's bought, Arthur Abercrombie's and he's bought. Some bills. So bills still go, shares, and most still obviously, whether he had the shares or not, I would imagine he's still a chairman and he'd still be someone that helps. I think Bill Ken Knight, there's a part of Bill Ken Knight that my share he values in terms of the fact he's been in football for so long. And he uses that as, I don't know, a knowledge base basically. He'll have, obviously the autonomy is over far, and Bill's influence will become less and less. But it's used, I think what we've seen is he has took more power in decision making as well as in the last few months as well, whether it be signings, whether it be who he uses to bring in signings. They've hired and fired and the restructuring of the boards, all those things. And now he's just flexing it a little bit more. We'll come on to Oozman off in a minute. But the stadium, now I believe there's been a new company set up regarding the stadium. Bramley, more stadium development. Which is, I mean that's there, that's back and white, that's in companies house. Keith Harris, it's the name on that document. And when we know that he's been appointed, that's basically the man to lead that. So a new company formed for that. Which I think is quite interesting, it's probably always in the pipeline to do something like that, but it's out now. And I believe there's going to be more coming out of the club I think in the coming weeks and months. Now I don't know, I don't think that's going to be immediately a case of designs and things like that. I think it's just going to be the starting point. And I think the starting point is actually today with that. Because Everton are not super, they know the same fans in one monitor. We're keeping that very close eye on companies house and we'll see that. And I think the board will start rolling in the next few weeks with just little things, just like official things starting to happen with the stadium. Only small, but that's the starting point. So maybe that's a part of it as well. A Usman off obviously is being the name on the lips of a lot of Evertonians in the last few weeks. He sold the shares now in Arsenal. He was asked about it and he said he will always be available to help out his friend. So how does this, do you think, figure into the Usman off situation? I just think, I mean, there was two ways that could have happened. He could have bought them himself. So I'm sure he could have welcomed them into the club as, so he's bought what would have been 19% or something like that, wouldn't he? At the moment shares rise into whatever 26% or 27% or whatever it be. Or Farad can obviously fulfil the contract, which is what was down in black and white. And then obviously Usman off can come on, if he wants to, either buy petition shares off Farad or becoming a board member or what have you. Or he could do it the way that it's done at USM. I think what makes it, it makes it easy because he's not in any other club at the moment. So therefore if one of his companies wants to sponsor Everton's kit for argument, he could pay £300 million. Which I mentioned last week on the video with John. You did, you did. So there's ways round, obviously FFP is a thing. Everton, it'd be great to get Alasio Usman off in, of course it would with his wealth. But we'd have to increase our wage bracket year on year and be tangible with what we do. Tangible evidence to enable us to increase that. It isn't unfortunately for us, the Man City scenario has disappeared. So we couldn't come in tomorrow and Everton in January. He spends £700 million because we wouldn't be able to, we haven't done that ourselves. It's a bit mad because other clubs have got that leg up and they're allowed to do it. But there's obviously ways round that with clubs that are illustrious neighbours. Used warrior and new balance and hid stuff. Not hid, but used different areas to do that. Manchester City have done it. But you'd also do that through infrastructure as well. And they've done it through their new stand. And that's what other clubs you need. That's why you need a new stadium, it's all part of the stadium as well. If you have the stadium, then you can have name and rights for the stadium. And you can put a figure on that then. Can't put a figure on good or some part of a stadium rights. Because FFP, this, all this gets investigated as well. It's a shame, Bramley Moore's not going to be the megaphone. That's what I'm saying. So the stadium thing and the shares and all that. All those three things actually play into each other massively. So you see the other thing. The one thing that I will say in terms of who does them enough. If he's not got his head above the parapet. It enables him to still continue to go much Arsenal. If he wants to, he's in London or go wherever. Go much Everton, he can move around freely without the constraints of how he owns Everton or he's on Everton's board or he's blah blah blah. We know these are business partners. We know that they wanted to do this at Arsenal. They wanted to take over Arsenal. Wanted to put Arsenal right at the top of the tree. Masheri wants to put Everton in that top bracket. It's exactly what he wants to do. A brand new stadium on a waterfront where retail is will be. The figures only rise with 10 seats. Is a massive incentive to someone like Usman of as well. For me, they're going hand in hand. Going full circle. It's just him getting a little bit more control of the board. We're starting to see now, as you say, John Woods is a non-executive member of the board. He continues to be stuff, but it's just chipping away at the old guard. The new brew. He's come in. He's had a couple of years where he tried to do things a bit quickly with people who were in. That hasn't worked. He's reassessed that he's got Marcel Brands in here. He wanted, in all fairness, two years ago, he's in. He looks like he's the business. He's got a young, hungry manager in who's saying all the right things. Like you said before, lots of changes off the field. We've been down to the live of buildings a couple of times now. It's incredible as a headquarters. When you see that, that's the message you want everyone to see. That's the evidence for me that we are going in that direction. The officers overlook where Brandley Moore is going to come out the ground. Everything is moving in the right direction. Farad Meshiri is pushing and driving this bus properly now. Definitely. Let us know your thoughts on Farad Meshiri. Increasing is stakeholder in evidence today. Let us know your thoughts.


as well as 40s residential sales, who are our principal and the owner. The most well-sponsored is also Brampton. We've got them all for their great support. The Ymolk MDS in Leipzig are good. Sponsored by Vigil Winstudio. Forward by O'Donnell, the man between the sticks for Bradford this afternoon. Right out, unable to bring it under control. Sent forward by Norman instead. Keepers come a long way to deal with this, and there's a slight bit of confusion there as well as he went straight into Baker Richardson. I was looking to latch onto that long ball over the top. Committed though, Richard O'Donnell hit. Huge amount of space down that right sideline to loft it into. Songo just trying to shepherd the forward away. Energetic start from both sides though in the first five minutes. Right up. Look at the rule again. Gilead in from that right flank inside. It's a lovely little pass into the passing forward and a good save. Day almost caught off guard, stretching out that leg to keep it away. Got this really good chance for Bradford five minutes ago or so. Just came to him on the edge of the area. Day is expecting it down to his right. Almost wrong foots in, although I'm not sure it's the cleanest collection. From Andy Cook, Callum Cook to that right flank using his right back. Oscar Threlko, Baker Richardson, two defenders around him. Stuck down towards the byline as well. Does do enough to win the corner. Chance from a set-piece now. They go short to Telford. Wilma throws it towards the back post. Really nowhere to cross goal. Can't guide it through the bodies. Let's see again. It's a lovely knockback across goal from Ed Upton. Pings around. Seemed to strike it up. Just have a look here. It's the header of Clark that's most dangerous and it maybe hits Baker Richardson's arm. Threlko comes forward. Look at the room again for Gilead. Two in the box waiting for the winger. He's going to hang it towards Andy Cook, but it's over his head and over hit. Another space in behind. It's two against two. Telford just waiting for the pass. It might not come his way in the end, Cooper trying to go alone. That was the wrong decision in the end from the 21-year-old. That's from somewhere just to try and put off the fall. Did just enough in the end. And he's sloppy there by Haynes who was just caught napping as the ball bounced to him. He's up on the charge down the left now. He's got possession and he's got room in front of him. And he's got Telford in the box too. It's just too far in front of him. The label to collect. See how quickly though the hosts are trying to manipulate the space in behind the Bradford City defence. They're just dragging too far away from the forward. There is actually a worry around Newport County that Cooper is going to play too well and end up being recalled at some point this season. Burnham has to go to the top of the crossbar in the end though. They might have to start resorting to efforts from Range. His deliveries from the left and right side of the 18-yard box haven't provided enough and that one was always sailing up and over in the end from Burnham. Just didn't have the dip that he wanted. Very quick but possession stays with the hosts. Knicked away from Willmott. This is Gilead. Really enjoyed that as well. The effort that he put in to get that back and look at the room once more for Norman on this right flank. Once again the service is superb. Excellent. Clatter as he tried to get his head onto it. And a nasty coming together between defender and attacker. Both Ed Upton and Oscar Threlkold were very brave sticking their heads in there. Once again trying to get Bradford back into the run of form that they had at the start of the season. Trying to start brightly here as well as it almost falls to Gilead inside the 18-yard box. Just means there's a slight reshuffle I think for Bradford with the addition of Theo Robinson who's straight in on the action. Glancing header is just wide at the target. He went humbling into Brian Haines inside the penalty area. More of a target man Theo Robinson. Lovely glancing header. Almost had the angles exactly right. Just hanging off the shoulder of Demetrius. Day by day. Knotted inside by Baker Richardson for Matty Dolan. So much room in front of him. Matty Dolan hits it sweetly as well. It just gets that almost topspin on it. As it moving and dipping slightly. That's just right in front of the keeper. Neither of these sides have really been electric in the goal scoring department this season. Particularly in recent weeks, Bradford were very bright in that early going. The second highest score is in the division after the first four or five games. Since then it's really dropped it going forward. But they defend here as it's back across. It stays out and there's Levy there to get the touch. Baker Richardson with the header and he caused all sorts of problems to the likes of Songa. You can see here the opportunity to lovely header back across goal from Baker Richardson. Towering above his man and Songa's header. That could have come off the top of his head at any awkward angle. Dolan thinks about lining up the delivery. Wilmot on the overlap. Trying to step away from Vernon. So he gives away the free kick. Goes up in the back again. But once more the host goes short as he drops it into a pocket of danger. The six yard box.  There's not a back across goal and it's clarked there. It's more tangled up with the back of the net than the ball did. Point blank range off the crossbar and away. It's better from the host, but it's not quite enough. Not too fast either though, I don't think. Schumann pulling as he's brought out the control by Baker Richardson. Which is trying to get it back. I'm ticking away here on the parade. We wait for a breakthrough. It's a good little knock down. Sutton. Might be one last chance here for Bradford. Untidy coming together as Andy Cook was knocked down to the deck and there's no free kick and there's no time left on the clock. Running for eight experiences. It's first 0-0 draw of the season for both New York County and Bradford City. Derek Adams on his return to the ground where he's not the most beloved fellow. And a very untidy afternoon with Bradford City side that comes to us in front of goal. Not finishing in the final third or is torn from both. James Clarke hit the frame with the goal, but we came closest for giving us a breakthrough when his header from close range rattled the woodwork.


Good evening aspirants, welcome to the Hindu Daily News Analysis brought to you by Shankar A. S. Academy for the date 31st of January 2023. These are the articles which we will be discussing today. Now let's start with the first article for the day. Take a look at this FAQ article displayed here. This news article is taken from the Hindu newspaper dated 29th of January 2023. See, on January 27, the stock markets in India have concluded its transition to the T-plus-1 settlement cycle. India has now become the second largest market after China to have made such a transition. Here know that India is also ahead of US, Europe and Japan in this particular regard. US and Japan are only othering to T-plus-2 settlement cycles while India has moved on to T-plus-1 settlement cycle. Here note that the paced transition to T-plus-1 settlement cycle in India had began on February 25, 2022. Now what are these T-plus-1 and T-plus-2 settlement cycles? This is what we are going to understand through this discussion. For your better understanding about the settlement cycles in the stock market, we have to first learn about the basics on which trading is carried out in stock market. First of all, what is a stock market? See, a stock market is a marketplace where buyers and sellers virtually need to trade, that is to buy and sell shares or securities of publicly listed companies. Here note that stock market is otherwise known as share market or an equity market. See, it is nothing but a marketplace which is exclusively in an online mode. Here, the buyers and sellers need to transact and trade securities in an online medium. Now, we will understand the functioning of the stock market with an example. Let's assume that a person, Ramu, wants to sell his 10 shares of Reliance Industries at Rs. 1000 per share. So, he will place a sell order on the stock exchange. The stock exchange will then find a buyer who wants to buy 10 shares of Reliance Industries at Rs. 1000 per share. Therefore, we can see that stock market acts as a virtual market where buyers and sellers need to trade shares. This is all about the basics of the working of the stock market. Here, note that a trade in the stock market involves three important processes. They are execution of trade, clearing of trade and settlement of trade. These three processes are done one after another. Now, we will understand them one by one. First, let's take execution of trade. See, the term execution of trade refers to the process of completion of a purchase or sale order for security. When an execution of trade is said to be taken place, the seller and buyer have agreed to trade at the given price. This is about the first process. Now, moving on to the second function in trading that is clearing of trade. Clearing refers to the correct and timely transfer of funds to the seller of the securities and transfer of securities to the buyer. For this purpose, a specialized organization often acts as an intermediary. This intermediary is only known as clearing house. It assumes the role of buyer and seller to reconcile orders between the transacting parties. Now, coming to the final process. This process is known as settlement of trade. Trade settlement is a two-way process which comes in the final stage of the transaction. Once the buyer receives the securities and the seller gets the payment for the same, the trade is said to be settled. Know that the date on which the settlement takes place is called the settlement date. This is all about the basics of the functioning of stock markets. Now, moving on to the settlement cycles. Just now, we saw about the settlement of trade right. See, in trading, there is a fixed time period for the settlement of trades. This time period is only termed as settlement cycle. Now, coming to the answer for the question, which I asked at the start of this discussion. What is meant by T plus 1 and T plus 2 settlement cycles? Firstly, know that letter T refers to the trading day. So, T plus 1 settlement cycle means that trade related settlements must be done within a day or 24 hours of the completion of the trading. For example, if a customer brought securities under T plus 1 on Monday, the securities would be credited to the customer on the next day that is Tuesday. See, T plus 1 is different from T plus 2. In T plus 2, it would take another one day to settle the trade that is if a customer brought securities on Monday, then the trade will be settled only on the Wednesday. Therefore, we can say that under the T plus 1 settlement cycle, the trade related settlements must be done within a day which is nothing but 24 hours. Now, let's see briefly about the history of settlement cycles in India. See, until 2001, Indian stock markets had a weekly settlement system. After that, they moved to a rolling settlement system of T plus 3. Then, in the year 2003, the Indian stock markets moved to T plus 2 settlement system. After a period of operating in T plus 2 settlement cycle mode, India is now moving to the T plus 1 settlement system. With this understanding, now we will see about what are all the benefits associated with the T plus 1 settlement system. The first benefit is the reduction in time of the settlement. See, in the T plus 1 format, if an investor sells a share, he will get the money within a day and the buyer also will get the share within a day. So, time reduction is the first benefit. The second benefit is that T plus 1 system will provide liquidity to the investors very soon as compared to the earlier T plus 2 system. That is, their funds for the sold shares would be credited to their account a day earlier. So, the investors will have the benefit of deploying their cash for a day more in buying other shares. These are the two benefits which are associated with the T plus 1 settlement system over the T plus 2 settlement system. With this, we have come to the end of this discussion. Through this discussion, we have seen about the term T plus 1 settlement system. We also briefly saw about how stock markets operate and finally, we also saw about the benefits associated with moving towards T plus 1 settlement system. With these points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. Take a look at this article given here. It says that, Supreme Court will examine whether the petitions regarding the electoral bond scheme need to be referred to a constitution bench or not. See, there are numerous petitions filed in the Supreme Court regarding this particular scheme. The petitions content that electoral bond scheme has opened the doors for anonymous donations to political parties before the elections. This is about the news article given here. In this context, let us see some facts regarding the electoral bond scheme in Prillam's perspective. First of all, what are electoral bonds? In simple words, electoral bonds can be defined as instruments through which anyone can donate money to political parties. It was introduced in the year 2018 with an aim to bring transparency in the electoral funding process. See, this bond is a bearer instrument in the nature of a promissory note which are donated to the political party in an anonymous manner. Now, coming to the question, who can buy electoral bonds? The answer to the question is that, any citizen of India or a body incorporated in India will be eligible to purchase the bonds. The significance of this bond is that, the bond will not contain the name of the donor. Thus, it maintains anonymity in the funding process. Now, let's see a few additional facts regarding this particular scheme. See, electoral bonds are issued in the denominations of Rs 1000, Rs 10000, Rs 1 lakh, Rs 10 lakh and Rs 1 crore. These bonds can be brought from authorized branches of the state bank of India. Here, the donor is required to pay the amount via a check or a digital mechanism to the authorized SBI bank. Here note one important point, cash cannot be used to buy electoral bonds in India. Also note that, the bonds only have a lifetime of 15 days during which it should be used for making donation to the political parties. Here also note that, donations can be done only to the political parties registered under section 29A of the representation of the People's Act 1951. The party which is going to receive the donation should have secured at least one percentage of the votes polled in the last general election to the House of People or the Legislative Assembly. This is the eligibility criteria for the political parties to receive donations through electoral bonds. Moving on, let us now see about the availability of the bonds. The bonds under the scheme will be available for a purchase period of 10 days each in the months of January, April, July and October. An additional period of 30 days will be specified by the central government in the year of general election to the Lok Sabha. This is all about electoral bond scheme. Through this discussion, we have seen some factual information about the electoral bond scheme. Make a note of all the points which I have discussed. With this, now let us move on to the next article discussion. Now, take a look at this news article given here. It reports about the recent objections raised by the Attorney General of India or Venkataramani. See, these objections were raised relating to the petitions which are being filed in the Supreme Court against various state religious conversion laws. The particular case which the article reports about concerns anti-conversion laws of nine states including Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Jharkhand and Karnataka. This is the crux of the article given here. In this discussion today, let us concentrate on the basics. We will see about Attorney General of India in detail. When it comes to Attorney General of India, you must know about Article 76. Article 76 of the Indian Constitution gives information about the appointment, qualification, term of office and functions of the Attorney General of India. Firstly, note that Attorney General of India is appointed by the President of India. Secondly, the person to be appointed as the Attorney General of India should be qualified to be appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court. See, there are certain conditions which needs to be satisfied by a person to be eligible to be qualified to be appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court. These criteria should be satisfied by the person who wishes to be appointed as the Attorney General of India. Thirdly, as per Article 76, the Attorney General of India holds office during the pleasure of the President. So, Attorney General of India doesn't have any security of his or her tenure. Fourthly, Article 76 says that the renumeration of the Attorney General of India is determined by the President. Now, let's see the functions of Attorney General of India. Attorney General of India gives advice to the Government of India regarding legal matters involving it. He also performs other duties of legal character referred or assigned to him by the President. Thirdly, he discharges the functions conferred on him by or under the Constitution or any other law for the time being in force. Here, note that while discharging these duties, Attorney General of India has the right of audience in all courts. This is all about the Attorney General of India. In the Constitution, another article is concerned about the Attorney General of India. We will now see about this article as well. Article 88 of the Indian Constitution talks about the right of the ministers and Attorney General of India in the Parliament. As per this article, Attorney General of India has the right to speak and take part in the proceedings of either house and any joint sitting of the houses. He also has the right to speak and take part in the proceedings of any committee of the Parliament. Here, note that he can only take part in the functioning of those committees in which he is named as a member. Also, note that he cannot take part in the voting process in the Parliament. Now, that is all for the provisions of the Attorney General in the Constitution. Now, let's see a few prelims pointers about Attorney General. Here, note that Attorney General is the highest law officer in the country. The term of the Attorney General is not fixed by the Constitution. Constitution does not contain the procedure and grounds for his removal. Other than this, he can resign by writing to the President. Conventionally, he resigns when the government which appointed him resigns or is replaced. Other than these points, also note that he is not debored from private legal practice. Finally, he is also eligible for reappointment. I have given here some of the limitations of the Attorney General of India. Just go through it. This is all about Attorney General of India. Through this discussion, we came to know about Attorney General of India, the articles present in the Constitution relating to Attorney General of India and also about some of the functions which are performed by him. With these points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. See, yesterday, the Delhi Police told the Supreme Court that it has substantially completed its investigation into the hate speech incidents in the national capital. Previously, Supreme Court of India has asked the Delhi Police to expedite the process of investigation into the crimes which involves hate speech. So, from this article given today, we can see that Delhi Police has paid heed to the directions given out by the Supreme Court. See, this particular article is not per se relevant for our examination. But we will take this opportunity to revise about hate speech.  Let's start with the definition of hate speech. See, there is no specific legal definition of hate speech. But in the 267th report of the Law Commission of India, hate speech is defined as an incitement to hatred primarily against a group of persons. The group of persons can be anyone in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, etc. In simpler words, hate speech is any word written or spoken which also includes science, visible representation within the hearing or sight of a person with the intention to cause fear or alarm or incitement to violence. So, all these actions like speeches, writings, science and representations that create violence and spread disharmony between the communities and groups is criminalized in India. Here, you must understand one thing. The right to free speech ends where hate speech begins. Under the pretext of exercising inherent rights, many commit the crime of hate speech and create an atmosphere of distrust and terror. In that line only, the 267th report of the Law Commission of India beautifully mentions that liberty and equality are contemporary and not antithetical to each other. That is, the intention of having the freedom of speech under article 19 class 1 sub-class A of the Constitution is not to disregard the weaker sections of society but to give them an equal voice. So, if in the name of free speech, when an hate speech is delivered which marginalizes certain people, then the liberty of those people is nashed away. Here, I have provided the legal provisions related to hate speech in India. You can pause the video and go through it. With this, we have come to the end of this discussion. Through this discussion, we came to know about hate speech and how it is antithetical to the article 19 class 1 sub-class A of the Indian Constitution. With these points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. Now, for our next discussion, let's take up this editorial article. As you all know, Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations has declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets. This is the context based on which the article is written. So, in this news article discussion, let us understand some of the important points mentioned in this article. Before that, the syllabus relevant for this article is highlighted here. Interested aspirants can go through it. Now, let's start with the question, what is a millet? See, millets are a group of small-grained serial food crops. They have special nutritive properties like high protein, high dietary fiber. They also contain micronutrients and antioxidants. Here, note that millets are known for their special agronomic characteristics. That is, they are drought resistant and suitable for cultivation in regions which are arid and semi-arid in nature. So, the benefit of millets are two-fold. One is, it is good for our health and the other is, it can be cultivated even in a semi-arid region. Now, coming to the types of millets which are grown in India. See, there are two different types of millets grown. First group is called major millets which includes sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet. The other one is called minor millet which includes foxtile, little, codo, proso and bronyard millets. These are the two types of millets which are grown now in India. Despite all these benefits which I have mentioned, millet cultivation and consumption have not actually increased. For example, in the year 2019-2020, the total production of nutricerials was 47.7 million tons in India. In that, the production of sorghum, pearl millet and finger millet along with other millets put together was only 18.9 million tons. Now, compare this with maize. Maze is a non-millet crop used mainly as a feed. Its production in the same year was 28.8 million tons. That is, if we exclude millets, the remaining portion of nutric grain production is entirely comprised of one non-millet crop which is nothing but maize. So, from this we can infer that production of millet in India is very low. This is the first major problem associated with millet cultivation in India. The production is very low. Now, coming to the other problem. See, the procurement and consumption by the states is also very low. See, with the said production, inclusion of millets in the PDS shops would be possible only if more than 50 percentage production of the millets are procured directly by the government. See, this is not possible. Government cannot procure more than 50 percentage of the millet production in India. Because of this reason only, millets make up very small quantity of the central storage pool of grains. So, here comes the question. What are the obstacles to increase millet production and consumption? Firstly, the decline in the area under millet cultivation is a problem. Over the last decade, the production of surgam has fallen. The production of pearl millet has also stagnated and the production of other millets including finger millet has also stagnated or even declined. There is also rapid decline in the minor millet cultivation also. See, this is mainly due to the shift in land used towards more profitable crops like pineapple, coffee and pepper. This is the first problem. Now, coming to the second problem. The second problem is the low productivity of millets. See, when a particular land is used for the cultivation of millets, only a small quantity of saleable millet is produced in the land. When the particular land is used for cultivation of other crops, the productivity of crops is so huge so that farmers tend to produce the other crops than millets. Over the last decade, millet yield has not increased leading to the low productivity. Besides this, millet processing is a time consuming and laborious task performed only by human. See, even in the 21st century, hand pounding is done by human to remove the outer layers of the millets. The productivity decreases because of this also. Apart from this, the marketing strategy of millets produced by the farmers is also poor. Here also note that only a small portion of millets were only processed into value ordered products. This is the second issue. So, the author of this article says that unless productivity and production are increased, all efforts to consume millets will be useless. Remember, availability is the important factor in changing food habits of the population. Here comes the next question. How can we increase the productivity, production and availability of millets? Firstly, crop diversity in local millet varieties should be preserved to increase production and consumption of millets. For this specific purpose, community seed banks can be established. These community seed banks can be designed and constructed to conserve, restore, revive, strengthen and improve local seed systems. Apart from this, yield can be enhanced through participatory varietal trites. Here, participatory varietal trites are nothing but a process in which agronomists learn which varieties perform well on farm and are preferred by the farmers. Such trials can be encouraged for improving seed selection. Along with that, new agronomic practices and new technologies can be combined to enhance the productivity of millets. By this way, we can make the farmers grow millets. Other than this, customized post-arward machinery like pulverizer de-hullers can be introduced. Pulverizer helps in grinding of the grains, whereas de-hullers helps in removing hulls from the grains. By introducing these machineries, we can replace the role of women manually pounding millets for us. This in turn will also increase the productivity of millet cultivation. Thirdly, new marketing strategies regarding millets can be introduced. Here, know that a kilogram of little millet rice is sold only for Rs 7, while a kilogram of millet upma is sold for nearly Rs 40. One step of processing has yielded five times of profit. So, by including food processing into the millet cultivation, we can many times increase the fold of income which are going to the farmers of the millet. In conclusion, we can say that increasing the production of millets and reversing the decline in area cultivated or feasible steps to increase the millet production in our country. But these steps require multiple interventions including scientific inputs, institutional mechanisms, financial incentives and in-kind support. Most importantly, small farmers in hilly regions and red land plains who are among the poorest households in rural India are going to cultivate millets only if it gives them good returns. So, to make millet cultivation profitable, adequate public support is required. And that is exactly why we should pay attention to the economics of millet cultivation. Just by ensuring supply for the PDS, we can ensure availability and provide nutritional benefits to a wide section of the population. With this, we have come to the end of this discussion. Through this discussion, we came to know about the term millets, the two types of millets, the problems plaguing the production of millets in India. And finally, we also saw some solution as suggested by the author to increase the cultivation of millets in India and also improve their productivity. With these learned points in mind, now let's move on to the next news article discussion. Now, look at this news article. It says that the central government would soon set up the 16th Finance Commission. The process for it has been initiated and the terms of reference would soon be notified as per the news article given here. Now, we will take this opportunity to revise some basic points about the Finance Commission. We will start by understanding the constitutional provisions regarding Finance Commission. Then, we will see the composition, qualifications of members and the appointment process. And finally, we will also see its functioning as well. This is the syllabus relevant to this discussion. Just go through it. See, Finance Commission is constituted once every five years by the President. This has been done according to the provisions of the article 280 of the Indian Constitution. This means that it's a constitutional body. The main purpose of the body is to give recommendations to the government of India on the distribution of its tax revenues. We will see about the functions of the Finance Commission a little later. Now, talking about its composition, see, the Finance Commission as a chairman and four other members appointed by the President. The government of India provides necessary support and manpower including a secretary to the Commission to facilitate its work. Now, coming to the qualifications of the members. As per the provisions of the Finance Commission Act 1951 and the Finance Commission rules of the same year, the chairman of the Commission is selected from among members who have experience in public affairs. Here note that the four other members are selected from among members who are qualified to be appointed as judge of a high court or have special knowledge of the finances and accounts of government or have wide experience in financial matters and in administration or have special knowledge of economics. For your understanding, see this image. You can see the composition and qualifications of the members of the 15th Finance Commission. As you can see, they are all from different fields of expertise. As I told you earlier, they are elected by the President of India. Here note that they serve for the length of time indicated by the President in this order. Also note that they have a chance to be re-appointed again. Now, we will see about the functions of the Finance Commission. See, Finance Commission primarily performs three important functions. One is called the vertical devolution. The second one is the horizontal devolution and the third one is the recommendation regarding the devolution of funds to the local institutions present in the states. Now, coming to the first important function. Firstly, the Finance Commission shall make recommendations to the President on the distributions of the net proceeds of taxes which are to be divided between the union and the states. This is what I mentioned as vertical distribution. Secondly, the Finance Commission shall also make recommendations to the President on the allocation of the net proceeds of the taxes between the states themselves, that is between the state governments. This is called as horizontal distribution. Thirdly, it shall also consider the mechanism by which central government can devolve funds to the local institutions present in the states. Here the term local institutions refers to the panchayats and municipal bodies. Finally, final function of the Finance Commission is to consider any other subject that the President refers to the panel in the interest of prudent financial management. These are all the functions of the Finance Commission. You may have a question whether the recommendation spelled out by the Finance Commission should be implemented by the government or not. Here note that all the recommendations spelled out by the Finance Commission are only advisory in nature. Government need not implement all of the recommendations put forward by the Finance Commission. To put it in other words, it is nowhere laid down in the constitution that the recommendations of the Commission shall be binding upon the Government of India. This is all with respect to the Finance Commission. Through this discussion, we came to know about the Finance Commission, the eligibility of its members and finally we saw some of the functions of the Finance Commission. With these learned points, now let's move on to the next article discussion. Now, let us take this data point for our next discussion. It says that the trial courts in India have imposed the highest number of death penalty in over 20 years. This is despite the UN human rights recommendation for the universal abolition of the death penalty. This data point shows the reasons for the rise in death penalty this year and gives some suggestions in this regard. So, we will now see what the article says in detail. Have a look at this graph. It shows the number of prisoners on death row in India at the end of each year. If you can see, the figure has reached its peak in the year 2022. The major reason for the rise in death penalty as highlighted by the article is a special ruling in a case related to the 2008 Agamadabad serial blast. The court here awarded death penalty to as many as 38 convicts. This case therefore spiked the total number of death penalty in the year 2022. Now, look at this graph. It shows that Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand have recorded significant increase in death sentences imposed by trial courts in 2022. The article further says that the number would soon come down owing to the initiatives taken by the Supreme Court in this regard. Previous orders of the Supreme Court had called for a meaningful, real and effective hearing for the accused before awarding the death sentence. Another major factor for the rise in death penalty was the low disposal rate of death penalty cases by the Appellate Courts. See, when the trial court has given a person death penalty, he would obviously move to higher courts for appeal. But the Appellate Courts are slow in disposing these cases. In the year 2022, from the 67 decided cases by the High Courts, 48 prisoners saw their death sentences commuted to life imprisonment. And 43 prisoners were acquitted of all charges and only 3 cases were confirmed. If you can see, the share of cases where the death sentence was confirmed by the Appellate Courts are very less, both in the case of High Court and Supreme Court. See, this particular data is very much revealing. Only a very small amount of death penalty cases which gets appealed to the Superior Court is getting confirmed. So, majority of the death penalty cases are generally commuted to life imprisonment or in some specific cases ultimately results in acutal also. So, from this we can say that the majority of the death penalty cases which are decided by the trial courts when moved to the Appellate Courts are getting changed to less harsher punishments. So, the author recommends that the constitution bench should make it necessary for the trial court to understand the accused better before passing the sentence. It should go beyond the report of jail authorities or parole officers and get the help of psychologists and behavioral experts. A study into the childhood experiences and upbringing of the accused should be considered while the court is awarding a death penalty. This is all about the data point given here. In this short discussion, we saw some revealing facts about death penalty cases in India. With these points in mind, now let's move on to the next article discussion. Now, take a look at this news article. This news article expresses the viewpoints of the current UNGA president. The president of UNGA is saying that the reform of United Nations Security Council is a member-driven process and for that, the members of the UNGA have to first come together to pass a resolution demanding the reform of Security Council. Primarily, this article deals with the reform to the United Nations Security Council. In this context, let us see about the permanent membership of UNSC and also about how a new country can be added to the permanent membership status in the United Nations Security Council. We all know that United Nations Security Council has five permanent members and 10 non-permanent members, so totally 15 members are present in there. The five permanent members are often referred as P5. The P5 countries are China, France, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and the United States. Among the 10 non-permanent members, five of them are elected each year by the General Assembly for a two-year term. Recently, India has been elected as the non-permanent member for the period 2021 and 2022. Here note that P5 members have veto powers which can be used by them to veto any resolution passed by the UN General Assembly. This is all about the basic structure of UN Security Council. Now let us see how the UN Security Council can be reformed. To reform any parts of the UN Security Council, a resolution need to be first moved in the UN General Assembly. See, this particular resolution has to be moved by nearly two-third members of the total members of the United Nations. As you all know, total membership of the United Nations is around 193 countries. Two-thirds of it will be 110 countries. So to reform UNSC, 110 countries need to come together and pass a resolution. And this resolution need to be ratified again by the 110 countries which are passing the resolution. After this, the resolution moves to the UN Security Council's permanent five members. These five members also need to accept the resolution to bring changes in the UN Security Council. So let's say India want to become an UN Security Council permanent member. For this, India need to draft a resolution which is to be signed and ratified by 110 countries of the United Nations and this resolution need to be passed by the all five countries which are present in the permanent membership of the UN Security Council. Then only India can become a permanent member in the UN Security Council. Not only for membership, for any of the reform in the UN Security Council, this is the mechanism which should be followed. So, this is how exactly UN Security Council can be reformed by using a resolution passed in the UN General Assembly. Here, the president of the UN General Assembly is saying that the members of the UN are not willing to come together to reform the UN Security Council. He also says that there existed deep differences between the opinions of the General Assembly members itself so that they cannot even pass the necessary resolution which can reform the UN Security Council. This is what is briefly discussed in the article. With this, we have come to the end of this discussion. Through this discussion, we saw about the necessary condition which need to be satisfied to bring reform in the UN Security Council. With this, let's move on to the next part of our Hindu daily news analysis which is nothing but the prelims practice question discussion. Today, I have taken five different questions for our discussion. Four will be discussed by me and one will be the quiz question for you. Now, coming to the first question. It is a two statement question and we have to find the correct statements. Statement one. Blasphemy is the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God. See, the statement is correct. Blasphemy is an act which involves disregard for gods. So, statement one is right. Now, coming to the second statement. There is no formal legislation against blasphemy in India. See, this statement is also correct. India doesn't have any explicit blasphemy laws in India. But that does not mean we cannot punish blasphemy. The closest equivalent to blasphemy law is section 295a of the Indian Penal Code. This particular section punishes any speech, writings or signs that with premeditated and malicious insult, citizens' religion or religious beliefs with a fine and imprisonment for up to three years. So, the correct answer for this question is option C both one and two. Now, moving on to the second question. See, this is a previous year question and it is related to Attorney General of India and Solicitor General of India. Two statements are given and we have to find the right statements. Now, coming to the first statement. Attorney General of India and Solicitor General of India are the only officers of the government who are allowed to participate in the meetings of the parliament of India. See, this statement is wrong. According to the constitution, Attorney General of India only has the right to participate in the meetings of the parliament of India. Solicitor General of India doesn't have any right to sit in the meetings of the parliament. So, statement one is incorrect. Now, coming to the second statement. According to the constitution of India, the Attorney General of India submits his resignation when the government which appointed him resigns. See, this statement is also incorrect. There is no where mentioned in the constitution of India that the Attorney General of India must resign when the government which appointed him resigns. But note that Attorney General of India normally resigns when the government which appoints him resigns because of the convention. According to the constitution, he holds office during the pleasure of the government. So, statement two is also wrong. It is not according to the constitution but according to the convention which got developed in India. From this, we can say that both statement one and two are wrong. So, the correct answer for this question is option D, neither one nor two. Now, moving on to the third question. The question is relating to G4 nations and we have to find the correct option which contains all the nations which are part of the G4. Let me read out the question now. Which among the following countries constitute the G4 nations? Germany, Brazil, Australia and India. See, Australia is not a G4 nation. So, we can eliminate three Indian options. By eliminating, we can see that option C is the correct answer. G4 nations comprises Brazil, India, Germany and Japan. G4 nations have a common goal of making UNSC more representative. They support each other's bid for a permanent membership in the UN Security Council. Here, let me give you another grouping. The grouping is called as L.69 group. Now, comment in the comment section what is the goal of this particular grouping. Now, moving on to the fourth question. This question is related to electoral bonds. Two statements are given and we have to choose the correct statement. Now, coming to the first statement. The electoral bonds shall be encased by an eligible political party only through a bank account with the authorized bank. See, the statement is correct. Electoral bonds which is donated to a political party can be encased by it only through an authorized bank account in an authorized bank which is declared by the Election Commission of India. So, statement one is correct. Now, coming to the second statement. An artificial, juridical person is not eligible to make donations to political parties via electoral bonds. See, the statement is incorrect. Any citizen of India or a body incorporated in India will be eligible to purchase the bond. This includes artificial juridical person. See, artificial juridical person means a public cooperation established under the special act of legislature. See, it is a body having juristic personality of its own and is known to be artificial juridical persons. Universities are an important example of this category. So, statement two is incorrect. Statement one is correct. So, the correct answer for this question is option A1 only. The quiz question for you all is displayed here. Interested aspirants can post the right answer in the comment section. Before moving on to the main practice question, I have an assignment for you all. Comment in the comment section what is meant by China plus one. The main practice question is displayed here. Interested aspirants can write the answer and post it in the comment section. With this, we have come to the end of our discussion. If you have found this video useful, please like, do comment and share it with your friends. Thank you for listening.


Holiness, after an audience with you five years ago in Vatican City, I met a group of American priests and seminarians who were studying in Rome. When I happen to mention my hope that one day you would return to the United States, and that perhaps this time your visit would extend to the south and the west, when I mentioned this, those seminarians broke into applause. Today, your Holiness, you begin just such a return visit, and today all America applauds. In a document of the Second Vatican Council that you helped to draft, it is written, in language intelligible to every generation, the church should be able to answer the ever-recurring questions which men ask about the meaning of this present life and of the life to come. In language intelligible to every generation, certainly no one can speak with greater force to our own generation than you yourself. In Poland, you experience Nazism and Communism. As Pope, you suffered a terrorist attack that nearly claimed your life. Still you proclaim that the central message of our own time, that the central message of all time, is not hatred, but love. During your papacy you have taken this message to some sixty-eight countries. You have celebrated mass in the ancient capitals of Europe. You have spoken words of truth and comfort on the African savannah. You have visited new churches on the islands of the Pacific. You have addressed vast gatherings throughout South America and the Far East. Now you have come back to the United States, the nation of citizens from all nations.  Well, here in Miami I have a suspicion that you will find many in your audience eager to hear you speak the beautiful language of Spain. But in this, the very month of your visit, we in the United States will be celebrating the 200th anniversary of our Constitution. That document says a great deal about the fundamental values in which we Americans believe. In the words of the distinguished Catholic philosopher Jacques-Maritain, the founding fathers were neither metaphysicians nor theologians, but their philosophy of life and their political philosophy, their notion of natural law and of human rights, were permeated with concepts worked out by Christian reason and backed up by an unshakable religious feeling. From the first, then, our nation embraced the belief that the individual is sacred and that as God himself respects human liberty, so too must the state. In freedom we Americans have in these 200 years built a great country, a country of goodness and abundance. Indeed, Your Holiness, it is precisely because we believe in freedom, because we respect the liberty of the individual in the economic as well as the political sphere that we have achieved such prosperity. We are justly proud of the Marshall Plan, whose 40th anniversary was celebrated in Europe earlier this year. In Europe and elsewhere, we continue to place our might on the side of human dignity. In Latin America and Asia, we are supporting the expansion of human freedom, in particular the powerful movement toward democracy, yet we Americans admit freely to our shortcomings.  We yearn to make this good land better still. In Florida and South Carolina, in Louisiana and Texas, in Arizona, California and Michigan, tens of thousands of Americans, more than 50 million Catholics will greet you. They do great works, America's Catholics in the name of their church. Here in the United States, American Catholics put their faith into action in countless ways, maintaining parochial schools that give underprivileged children in our inner cities the chance to receive a good education, supporting the AIDS hospices established by Mother Teresa's missionaries of charity, and perhaps simply helping to put on a fundraising dinner for the local parish. A broad American Catholics likewise seek to translate their faith into deeds, whether supporting missionaries in distant lands, or helping America's Knights of Columbus restore the facade of St. Peter's in Rome. But it will not be Catholics alone who greet you. Protestants of every denomination, Jews, Muslims, even many with no defined faith at all. Americans of every kind and degree or belief will wish your holiness well, responding to your moral leadership. Today's Florida sunshine is no warmer than the affection that you will meet. I began a moment ago by quoting from one document of the Second Vatican Council. Permit me to close by quoting from a second. By the hidden and kindly mystery of God's will, a supernatural solidarity reigns among men. A consequence of this is that one person's holiness helps others. Today Americans feel this solidarity. And we thank you for the courage and sanctity, the kindness and wisdom which with you have done so much to help our troubled world. On behalf of all Americans, your holiness, welcome back. Mr. President, dear friends, dear people of America, it is a great joy for me once again to be in your country. And I thank you for your warm welcome. I am deeply grateful to you all. I express my special thanks to the President of the United States, who honors me by his presence here today. I thank the Bishop's Conference and all the individual bishops who have invited me to their dioceses and who have done so much to prepare for my visit. My cordial greetings and good wishes go to all the people of this land. I thank you for opening your hearts to me and for supporting me by your prayers. I assure you of my own prayers. To everyone, I repeat on this occasion what I said on that memorable day in 1979 when I arrived in Boston. On my part, I come to you, America, with sentiments of friendship, reverence, and esteem. I come as one who already knows you and loves you, as one who wishes you to fulfill completely your noble destiny of service to the world, today like then. I come to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to all those who freely choose to listen to me, to tell again the story of God's love in the world, to spell out once more the message of human dignity with its inalienable human rights and its inevitable human duties, like so many before me coming to America and to this very city of my own. I come as a pilgrim, a pilgrim in the cause of justice and peace and human solidarity striving to build up the one human family. I come here as a pastor, the pastor of the Catholic Church to speak and pray with the Catholic people. The team of my visit, unity in the work of service, affords me welcome opportunity to enter into even deeper communion with them in our common service to the Lord. It also enables me to experience ever more keenly with them their hopes and joys, their anxieties and grief. I come as a friend, a friend of America and of all Americans, Catholics, Orthodox, Protestants, Jews, people of every religion and all men and women of good will. I come as a friend of the poor and the sick and the dying, those who are struggling with the problems of each day, those who are rising and falling and stumbling on the journey of life, those who are seeking and discovering and those not yet finding the deep meaning of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. And finally, I come to join you as you celebrate the bicentennial of the great document, the Constitution of the United States of America. I willingly join you in your prayer and thanksgiving to God for the providential way in which the Constitution has served the people of this nation for two centuries. For the Union, for the Union it has formed the justice it has established, the tranquility and peace it has ensured, the general welfare it has promoted and the blessings of liberty it has secured. I join you also in asking God to inspire you as Americans who have received so much in freedom and prosperity and human enrichment, all countries of the world who are still waiting and hoping to live according to standards worth of the children of God with great enthusiasm. I look forward to being with you in the days ahead. Meanwhile, my prayer for all of you dear people of America is this, the Lord bless you and keep you.  The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace. God bless America.


Plant-based diets have been shown to reduce dietary-induced, low-grade metabolic acidosis by providing more alkaline minerals such as potassium and magnesium than acidic ones like meat and dairy products. This shift towards a more plant-based diet can help to reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases related to metabolic acidosis, such as kidney stones, osteoporosis, and heart disease. This article was authored by Maximilian A. Stores, Alvaro L. Bronco, and Luciana Hannibal.

All right. What are the Yankees have to do to catch up to the Red Sox? So they were eight games different during the regular season. They lost in five games in the, or yeah, in four games in the ALDS. If you're in Brian Cashman's shoes, are you signing Harper? You're signing Machado. What are you doing to pull even with the Red Sox? The first thing I'm doing is I'm opening up the wallet because depending on if you use opening day or end of the year payroll, the Red Sox spent 50, 60 million bucks more than the Yankees this year. I mean, that's a couple quality players. So I think the Yankees have to go aggressive in free agency. And if you have to overpay for a Patrick Corbin or go back and get Nate Evaldi, I mean, what Nate Evaldi can do in the playoffs for you as a starter and reliever is super valuable. I like getting a guy, I think Torres should play shortstop to start the season until Dee Dee comes back, if he comes back. I'd like to sign a guy like Marwan Gonzalez from the Astros. Here's somebody that can play every position. You put him at second base for the majority of the first half of the season. And then when Dee Dee comes back, you can always slide Torres over back to second. And Marwan can mix in the outfield or first base or wherever he needs to play based on performance and based on health of other players. I'm not a proponent of blowing it up. I told you guys last week, I think, you know, Cashman is going to do everything he can to make the team better. But it doesn't sound like he's going to trade Gary Sanchez. It doesn't sound like he's going to give up on Greg Bird yet. I'm interested to see what they do with An-Duhar because he needs to get better defensively at third base. And maybe it's just one of those situations where you go, I'm just going to work with him and make him better. But I don't think they're going to go out and get Harper or Machado, but you never know. You think he's always have something up their sleeves. I looked at it this way, Mark. I don't know how much money they're going to spend. I don't know if they're going to blow the whole payroll thing up in terms of like spending more than the right size. I'm not quite sure. But if I can, if I have to allocate, I'm allocating toward pitching, not toward those two guys. No doubt, no doubt. And I think the amount of money that you're going to spend on a Harper and Machado, when you already have talented players that can fill those shoes, I really like having a floating DH. I think you should put Stanton out there and let him play left field for part of the season or the majority of the season. If you have Judge in right, Hicks in center, and then Stanton in left, and you can maybe work in a Clint Frazier or work in an Esteban Florial, one of those guys as a young player to get some at bats, and then just float that DH for a first baseman. Gary Sanchez gets a DH every now and then. You can give Judge a DH every now and then. I think that might be the plan. So if that's the case, you're not going out and signing to Machado or Harper because there's no at bats. You've got to train somebody else. And that would really be taking a team that won 100 games and has a really good core nucleus and rocking the boat a little bit.
