As you can see, we are in a completely different background. With my new work schedule, it's very difficult for me to film during the evening, which is what I normally do. And for some reason in my room, the lighting is always super harsh. The sun just looks terrible. So this is the only decent place I can film during the daytime with good lighting where the sun isn't blinding me and making me look extremely harsh and not cute. So this haul, a ton of drugstore makeup.  So this is like cumulative over the past month or so and oh my gosh, I went buck wild. I am gonna start off with the high end stuff for all my high end lovers. So I took a gander down to Ulta a couple days ago and I got the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue Hydrating Foundation Stick. I heard a couple good things. I think one was from Kathleen Lice and one was from Tati. I got mine in the shade 4.5, which by the way is literally my perfect shade. It blends so smoothly into my skin. I've only worn this once and it wasn't for an extended period of time but it felt very lightweight. It blended out very good and there was a lot of hydration. So I'm really excited to play with this more and actually give it some more wear tests. Yeah, I don't ever buy anything from Bare Minerals but when I heard a hydrating foundation stick I did get curious and when I was in Ulta I just saw it, they were fully stocked and I was like, huh. And so the next thing that we have is from Mac. This is the pink like strobe cream. I can't believe I've never tried this before.  I've just been wanting to try this for years and I finally just added it to my basket and showed them at my doorstep. From Sephora one day I picked up a lipstick in the shade somewhere in Spain. I just thought it was the most gorgeous nude shade. Totally up my alley. Like this is my type of nude. It feels very creamy. I haven't put it on my lips yet but I'm really excited to and I'm going to Spain this summer so the name kind of also got me to buy it. And those lipsticks by the way are pretty affordable as well. I don't have a lot of makeup from Sephora collection. So that's exciting. I also made an order off of Muse BB Pro. No, they didn't send me this. They sent me some stuff sometimes but like I told you I'm an actual customer of them. So I picked up these Denessa Myricks Lux Cream Palettes. So they're just cream palettes. I plan on putting these in my makeup kit because I'm tired of hauling around lipsticks. So I just thought this was really nice. They are quite sheer. I will say that and the plastic thing falls off so I need to wrap these around in a rubber band. But these are such good colors so I'm so looking forward to using these. And then I also got an Embryolise, just their cream which is really good for moisturizing skin when you're doing makeup on other people. Really good ingredients, very moisturizing. So definitely if you're a makeup artist, look into this. It's awesome. So now we are going to shift into the drugstore portion of this haul. Like I said, a lot of stuff. I went a little crazy. So this is all from Ulta Walmart Target. Just a bunch of different places. So I guess we'll start off with setting sprays and primer sprays. So the first thing I got which was from Target is the Pixi Glow Mist. I've heard a lot of good things about their skin mist. So I wanted to give one a try. They were actually quite expensive. I was debating between two. I ultimately decided on this one. I haven't yet used it but I'm really excited to give it a go. Hopefully it makes my skin look really pretty and really glowy. The other one that I got is the Catrice Prime and Fine Dewy Fixing Spray. So this, I believe, it was that Taylor or somebody. She recommended this. I actually didn't see that video but I was online. Catrice was having some sort of buy something, get whatever, free. And this was like one of their best sellers. I read their reviews and everybody jumped on this bandwagon because of her. And so I picked it up. I've been using it. I like it. It definitely makes my skin a little bit more glowy and illuminated. So I've been liking this and it's really tiny and affordable and this is really good for travel. Foundations, the first one that I picked up, I don't know what intrigued me to get this. I haven't yet tried it out. This is the Neutrogena Protect and Tint Tinted Moisturizer. I got mine in the shade Light to Tan. Like I said, I haven't used it yet but the packaging of this whole line was really, really cute and I kind of wanted to expand the different brands that I use and different brands and foundations that I use. I own literally nothing from Neutrogena. So I saw this tinted moisturizer. I was in the mood for summer, I guess. And I picked this up. So I will let you guys know what I think of it as what I actually use it. Then I got the L'Oreal Infallible, the Freshwear Foundation.  I do love drugstore foundations. I think they're really, really good. I love a good luxury foundation as well but I think that a lot of drugstore foundations are on par with high end. I think luxury tends to be in a league of its own but high end in drugstore, I feel can be pretty, pretty close. So I got mine in the shade 430. Hopefully this is my shade. I have no idea. I can't wait to play with this. So I don't wanna speak on that, I don't really know. The next one that I got was the Wet n' Wild Mega Cushion Foundation. I got mine in the shade Nude Beige. Again, just one of those foundations I've heard a lot of good things about. I've been on the hunt for a lot of really good nourishing foundations and a lot of people with dry skin so they like this and it's very affordable as well. I did try the Liquid Foundation. I forget what, the Photo Ready? I think Photo Ready Foundation. The Liquid Foundation from Wet n' Wild hated it so hopefully I like this more. The next foundation that I got was the Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation. So I never really got into Catrice and then I went to a random Ulta that wasn't my regular Ulta and they had a whole Catrice display so I did pick this up because I have heard some things about it and oh my gosh, you guys, it is so good. This is one of my new favorite drugstore foundations. If you're looking for a more mat full coverage foundation, this is so good. From the drugstore, $11. I'm in love with this. I need to check out the concealer to see if it's as good as the foundation. I also picked up the Jay Cat Beauty. I made an Ulta online order. Jay Cat Beauty Aqua Assurance Compact Foundation. So Jessie smiles. She's Kathleen's friend. She has a beauty channel and she talked about how full coverage this powder foundation was. I've only swatched it. It seems to be quite full coverage but we will see when I actually put it on my face. I'm always on the market for a good full coverage powder foundation for when I'm too lazy to put Liquid Foundation on because powder foundation just feels better.  So we will see what I think about this. I've heard also, I believe from Tati who says this is like one of the best of the best. Can't wait to test that out. I also got the Milani Conceal and Perfect Concealer. This is in the shade 125 Light Natural. I believe it was Mel who really loved this. She's the one that kind of influenced me to get this one. Haven't used it yet, so can't really speak on it. I hope I got the right shade. This quite recently created a bit of a buzz when Milani introduced a bunch of their new products. So hopefully I like this. Let's move on to bronzers. So the first bronzer that I got is from Wet and Wild. It had been so long since I'd been in a drugstore aisle that I felt like all the drugstores had a bunch of new things that I hadn't tried and I was so excited to try them. So this is the ticket to Brazil bronzer from Wet and Wild. I'd heard good things about their bronzers and like this is terrible. I do not like the shade of this. I might like this more in a different shade, but I can tell you, I think ticket to Brazil was quite popular and I don't know why. There's like flecks of glitter in it. The shimmer in it is very unflattering as a bronzer and the shade is just terrible. It's like almost yellow on me. I don't know, I do not like this. I also got the Melani Sun Kissed Silky Matte Bronzer. I got mine in the shade 02 or maybe it's called Sun Kiss, that's a shade. Well, whatever. I know Ashley Clady talked about loving this and I was so excited to see this at the drugstore because I hadn't seen it like actually out in person. It's actually the bronzer that I'm wearing right now. It's super smooth, such a good neutral bronzer color where it gives you some warmth, but it really also contours as well and it applies super silky just as it's stated. So, so far I've been really, really loving this bronzer. I've only used it like twice, but I've been wanting to build my bronzer collection a little bit. I don't have a ton of bronzers and this one's really, really good. Another bronzer that I got was the Maybelline City Bronzer in the shade 200. This again is also really, really good. I opted for the 200, but I'm actually thinking the 100 might work very well for me. Like this I do have to go in with a lighter hand because it can get a bit powdery if you dip your brush in too heavily, but the shade of it is so nice. It kind of has the same effect as like say Hula from Benefit. So I'm thinking, I have this theory that the 100 shade of this will be like Hula Light. Might have some dupes on our hand, but I am so pumped for this one. I think it's awesome. So this Milani and this Maybelline bronzer are killing it. So, super good. I also picked up from Wet n Wild the Contour Stick in the shade 806 Wears Walnut. This is like old, it came out a while ago, but I love good cream contour stick. I don't know why I got the shade. I think this is the darker shade, which was not a good call on my part. Haven't used it yet. I will keep you guys updated on what I think. So, okay, blush. I only have two blushes here to show you. My opinions on drugstore blushes, they are just as good as high-end blushes. I mean, I still purchase high-end blushes, but you know, if you don't have a lot of money, you're not going to be disappointed by the drugstore blushes. So the first one that I got was the Milani blush in Berry Amour. These are really pretty if you like a little bit of shimmer on your cheeks. I used this with a stippling brush the other day, and it was so beautiful. I do have another one. I can't remember what it's called, but of this formula that I didn't like quite as much because I felt like the reflect was too gold and that if I turn my cheek, my entire face was gold and that just wasn't cute. I don't really get that with this, so I'm really liking this color, and it's very subtle and natural as well. So if you're more fair, I would look into it. This shade's awesome. I also got the Wet N' Wild Color Icon blush in Keep It Peachy. Wet N' Wild is awesome because they are one of the cheapest of the cheap drugstore brands. Their color icon blushes are amazing. They're one of my favorites. They're like $3, and they do their thing, and they do it well. This is just a new shade I hadn't seen before, so that's why I picked it up, and I definitely feel like they were missing this type of shade from their line, so haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it's going to be just as good as their other blushes that I love. I also had heard so many good things about these, so I had to pick them up. These are the Flower Beauty blush balms. I've been trying to really get into more cream and liquid products, and kind of minimize the use of powder on my face because my skin has been excessively dry, much more dry than it used to be in the past. So I just feel like trying more liquid and cream products is just gonna be better for my skin in the long run. So I got three shades of these. Haven't used them yet. I've swatched, and so far I like, based on swatching, but we will see on application. So I have Melon, which is a bit of a brighter color because I love a good bright blush. Cinnamon, which is more of a deeper and neutral color, and then pinched, which is more of just like an everyday color, a little bit more creamy, so. I mean, I haven't heard a bad thing about these, so hopefully they don't disappoint. It did get two highlighters as well. So this one is the Maybelline Master Chrome in the shade 250. I believe this was supposed to be like, it claimed to be a Nikki Tutorials collaboration, but it actually wasn't, so they totally took her name off of the packaging. This is just the shade 250. Maybelline was definitely missing a color like this from their line. I feel like all of their other shades in this were better for more medium to deep skin tones. They definitely needed a lighter one, and this is really good, really beaming, just as the other ones were. So if you have been wanting to try this highlighter and you're more fair, and their other ones were just too deep, really try this one. It's really good. It's a bit light for my personal taste. I would love a shade that's in between their molten gold and this, just like a molten champagne or something. That is what they need. And then I also got the Wet n' Wild loose highlighting powder, and I'm so lit. I don't really like this. They do have a couple of deeper colors that I would consider picking up. First of all, this is like a hot mess, and this is just so reflective though. If you're fair, you're going to love I'm so lit. I've been putting out my cheeks, and every time I do, it's like a little bit much, a little bit too white. So they do have a couple of deeper colors that I think I'm going to look into, because I do like the formula of it from what I can tell. I actually wanna wear it again though before, so I can test the longevity of it, because I've only really used this when I've done crazy looks that I took off right away. So if the longevity of this is good, I'm probably gonna buy more of these, because it's such a good price, and you can do so many things with this. Now we are going to move on to the eye products. So from Ulta, I picked up the ColourPop Brow Boss in the shade Brunette. I just wanted to give it a go. I love ColourPop, and I love eyebrow pencils, so I hope I like this. We will see. Benefit and ABH, you know, they have the best of the best. So let's see what this little $6 friend can do. Let's see, I got the NYX Multitasker Mixing Medium. I don't know, I just wanted to try it out. I have a lot of different faces and things I can mix, and I've just never tried a mixing medium, so this is gonna be really cool for some pigments. So I need to play around with this, but this is just a different kind of medium than what I have in my collection. So it was something different. I'll show you kind of what the texture is like. It's slick, but really smooth, so super excited about that.  So I think it's going to look better with pigments. I also picked up a couple of the Flower Glitter, Warrior Glitter Shadows. I love these. I have one in camo, and I just wanted more.  They're more of a lid topper, which I really like.  Actually though, this orange one is super pigmented. So the one on top is bomb, and the one on the bottom is flame. I mean, they actually are really pigmented now that I'm looking at them, but I'm so excited for these. You guys know liquid shadows are my weakness, and if these are as good as the camo one, that's really exciting. This I bought on Tati's recommendation. This is the All May Velvet Foil Cream Shadow. I picked mine up in the shade Cupid Glaze, and I have to say I was a little bit underwhelmed from it. I was just expecting a little bit more. I don't know if it's the shade that I bought. I don't know. It just wasn't really what I was expecting. I will have to wear it, and you know what, you never know. Maybe it just has the most amazing staying power, or it looks super amazing on the lid. We will see. I will keep you updated. But these are really neat though. All my such a boring brand, and they had a lot of really neat colors as well. So if I do like this, I actually wouldn't mind, you know, looking into a couple other colors. They had like turquoise in colors like that that I'm very interested in. And then these I just heard on and off about the J.K. Prismetal Chrome Eyeshadows, or Chrome Eye Moose, Moose, Chrome Eye Mooses. So I picked three up, because it was like buy two, get one free, or something like that. It was like a good deal. I'm just gonna open them and swatch them all for you. I have to say though, I was expecting a little bit more from them. I haven't put them on my eyes, so you know what, I might be surprised. But based on swatching, I was expecting a little bit more. They had a lot of neat colors of these, but actually these are really pretty. I don't know, I need to see them on the eye. They're a little bit more stiff than I thought they would be. They don't really glide from what I can tell anyways. So this is Houdini Champagne Wiz, and then Chrome Galaxy is right here. So they actually do look really pretty and reflective. I don't know, I don't know what I was expecting. It really wasn't this, but I haven't put them on my eyes, so who knows.  It's just not something that, it's not my jam, I just don't waste my money. And then I saw this and I thought it was so cute. This is the BH Cosmetics new eyeshadow palette and Hanging in Hawaii, which by the way Essence came out with some really cute eyeshadow palettes that I almost bought. And then I had to remind myself how I don't like drugs or eyeshadows. But you know what, BH has a really good eyeshadow line. Yeah, I do like their eyeshadows. And look how pretty these colors are. These are going to be so perfect for spring. They did have another palette. I don't remember what it was, but it was really pretty as well. They were just sold out of it. Like do you see that? I mean, BH for being so affordable, they do such a good job with their shadows. So even though I'm such a eyeshadow luxury snob, I did kind of want to pick that up and support BH a little bit because a lot of times I feel like it's BH versus Morphe and I don't know, I feel like giving BH a little bit of love. Two more things. So this is boring. I got JK, four more things. So this is boring. I got the Maybelline Elash Discovery mascara. This is just my favorite lower lash line mascara and the NYX Epic Ink liner. You guys have told me to try this. I'm all about trying out new eyeliners. I guess this is just an eyeliner pen and it's supposed to be really awesome. So take your guys word for it. I'm all about eyeliner pens. And then last two things, they are lips. So Maybelline came out with this line where it's supposed to flatter every skin tone. Regardless, I just thought this color was really pretty. This is in the shade Spiced For Me and this as a fall color is going to be beautiful. I know we're a little bit past fall, but wow. Or even like summer nights, you know with this and a little bit of mascara. I mean, I can see it. I just thought this color was really pretty. I don't know, I didn't need it. It was like a buy one, get one, half off from Maybelline. And then I got a Morphe Lip Floss. I've heard so many good things about their lip glosses. So I did want to try one. So I got this one in the shade of Boho and their lip gloss packaging is so good. And Seeking Alexandria, that's who it was. She was talking about how much she loved these and I trust her reviews so much.  It's very similar to mine, but she reviews even more than I do and she knows her stuff. So she loves the Morphe lip glosses and I just got this really pretty nude color. So I can't wait to put that on my lips. That was a lot of stuff. That was everything that I've hauled in the past month, makeup wise. I'm really excited to try this stuff out. So I have tried some of it, not all of it. So I plan on doing a full face, trying these products. So keep an eye out for that. So I'm going to film that in the next day or two and that will be up as well. And I am going to just play with all of these products over the next couple of months. And I plan on doing an update video for you guys on this haul and other products around this time that I've reviewed. So anyways, that means you guys need to subscribe to my channel. I hope you guys liked this video. I hope you found it helpful. Let me know some things that you've recently picked up. And also let me know some of your favorite drugstore products.  That being said, thank you guys for watching. If you've stuck around this entire time and I will see you guys in the next video. Bye guys. Have a great day.


Welcome to the Hindu news analysis by Shankar Ayes academy. The displayed articles have been chosen for today's analysis from Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad and Tiruvananthapuram editions. Now let us start our discussion. This is an editorial topic about the telling on a state road transport corporation strike and the problems associated with it. Now let us discuss what is the professional opinion of this problem. Before that the syllabus linking of this news article is given here for your reference. This article discusses the problems with respect to TSRTC. The problem is that the employees of TSRTC entered into strike with some demands to the state government. The demands are measure of RTC with the state government. Currently RTC is a publicly owned corporation. Now this demand is based on the measure of RTC of Andhra Pradesh to the state government of the Andhra Pradesh. So according to some sources now the Andhra Pradesh RTC employees are being treated as government employees with their retirement being enhanced to 60 years. So the TSRTC employees also demanding the same benefit. Then they are also demanding the revision of their salaries which is being pending since April 2017. The author also mentions that it is a demand for pay parity with the government employees and they also want fresh recruitment in the corporation in order to reduce the workload on the employees. So they have entered into the strike with these set of demands and today marks almost 30th day of their strike which is almost a month. According to the author neither the Telangana government nor the joint action committee has showed any sign of changing their positions. Note that this joint action committee is representing about 48000 employees of TSRTC. Now these demands have been rejected by the state government of Telangana. The government has also warned on November 2 that either the employees have to get back to work or they would have to face dismissals. And further like pouring oil on the burning fire the state government also declared the privatization of the sum of the routes. The author has a doubt that whether there is a strategic plan behind this decision of the government in order to privatize the routes. Rather the author supports the plan previously laid by the government. The plan has suggested trifurcation of the TSRTC. As per the trifurcation of the TSRTC approximately half of the present fleet of the buses in the state would be run by the RTC exclusively. Then another 30% would be taken on hire by the government and it will be operated by the private owners and then the remaining 20% would be entirely privately operated. This plan was put forward as a solution to the operational inefficiencies of the TSRTC. Even though author supports this plan he is also worried about the negative outcome of this plan such as the staff being paid in accordance with their experience. Now let us discuss the other operational inefficiencies and also other problems and the reason for the inefficiency of RTC. The first and foremost reason is that the phase of the bus route have not been increased even when the fuel cost went up. So this led to the rapid decrease of income to the corporation. And then the second reason is that there is no new capital infusion into the corporation. This led to uses of the reserves of available funds by the corporation. As a result of this due to lack of fund and reserves the corporation had to deny the general employee benefits to the employees and also the corporation had to borrow at market rates from the banks to meet the operational cost. According to the author during this period the RTC saw various labour practices which forced the employees to work longer hours. At the same time there was a gradual decline in the number of permanent staff particularly in the maintenance wing of the corporation. This was due to the non-replacement of the retiring workforce with new recruitment of employees. Now the third reason is based on this second reason as during this same period there was a phenomenal growth of private vehicles and higher vehicles such as Ola and Ubeir. Then the paratransit vehicles such as Shade auto rickshaws became the default model of the transit across their entire region. Then also the material in Hyderabad all these developments gradually destroyed the operational spaces that were available to the buses. They have severely constrained the operability of the RTC as the public is preferring to use these mode of transport systems. Now let us discuss what needs to be done in order to solve these perennial problems of TSRTC. According to the author the first way out of this problem is that the public transportation is key capacity of the government. It is because the public transport has a favourable and great impact on the general economy. In addition to this public transports are environment friendly not that we have discussed this point a few days ago. The mass transport systems or the public transport are more environment friendly less polluting and cheaper faster and also safer. Secondly the author suggests that the government should focus on the question that how it can retain the government's core capacities and roles in the regional and urban economy. Because this is one of the main roles of the government and providing public transport facilities is one of them. So no government can afford to abdicate or give up the role. Therefore in order to find the solution to this question the government has to work with the unions and has to consider their viewpoints about these problems. The government may have to give some degree of professional autonomy to the corporations management then the state government has to admit its own financial obligations and also the state government should provide new capital infusion to the corporations. Thirdly the present and future problems should be solved with proper negotiations and should carefully assess the problem and adjust and sit guidelines to solve the problem wherever the possible. As a final solution the author suggests to the government that it must publish a white paper and take immediate steps to stop operational difficulties of the RTC. Here white paper means a government report that gives information or proposals on about a particular issue. The author is stating that the government should also prepare a white paper on how to revitalize the RTC. This may also include a suggestion of a proper mix of public transportation as well as private transportation. So for author the decision of the government and the discussion on TSRTC should not be only whether to privatize or not rather the decision and the discussion should include all the above mentioned problems. So with this information we have analyzed the perennial issues of road transportation corporation of Telangana state which is also relevant with respect to other states. Now let us move on to the next news article. This news article speaks about importance of financial planning for women. The core of this news article is that the four key factors mentioned by the author and why women should take an active role in money management. The author begins with a proverb like this. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. In simple terms it means that what is good for a man is equal good for a woman. Here gander is a male goose is a female. The author is of the opinion that this cannot be true as men and women have basic differences such as they undergo different life experiences differ in their knowledge and attitude towards risks. This is why the author stresses upon the need for financial planning for women. Note that financial planning helps an individual to determine short and long term financial goals and create a balanced plan to meet those goals. So here the author is giving four important key factors on the need for money management among women. The first factor is that less earnings for women compared to men. According to the author it is well known fact that globally for the same job women ends about 20% less than men on an average. This difference in wages is huge in informal sector especially in agriculture sector. So even if they have similar career compared to men their lifetime earnings and savings will be lower. This is made worse by the fact that women also tend to have career breaks to handle family situations such as after the birth of a child to take care of the elderly due to relocation after the marriage. These career breaks will affect their income and savings significantly. This is because taking career breaks might result in loss of salary impact on their regular savings. They may fall behind their peace in career when they re-enter after a break. If the woman had to take up a different job profile after the break these losses would further increase. According to the author the 2018 report by the old economic forum shows about 66% gender gap in India in terms of economic participation. Note that the gender gap is mainly the difference between women and men as reflected in their social, political, intellectual, cultural or economic dimensions. Also note that women's economic participation means that their ability to participate equally in existing markets and also their access to resources, access to decent work and their wide gender gap shows that majority of the women in India is still far away from economic empowerment. The second factor is that women in India have longer life expectancy that is longevity than men. The author says that as per the WHO report of 2018 for India women have an average life expectancy of about compared to about 67.4 years for men. So living longer requires higher savings to fund their expenses when they are not earning. The author is of the view that in most cases women cannot rely on property or other assets even though the law provides equal rights for women and men on property but the practical situation is different. In reality men in the family owns and controls the assets. This is made worse by the existing patriarchal mentality of the society. So the author believes that women have no other option but to save to fund their old age. See that the law provides equal rights but the practical situation is that men tend to own assets and there are social and other impediments in implementing the property rights of women. So they end up having on to rely on others to fund their old age. The author gives an example in case of divorce women would be more adversely affected than men. In most cases maintenance given by the husband is insufficient at the time of divorce. In such cases a woman has to depend on their own savings and investments. The thought factor is that lack of financial literacy and low financial awareness. Know that a financially literate individual do better at budgeting, saving money, controlling spending, handling debt, participating in financial markets and planning for retirement and successfully accumulating the wealth. He the author mentions that the report by a non-governmental group which studies financial literacy it says like that the globally only about 20 percent of women understood financial concepts. The author tells that the lower financial literacy among women might be due to various reasons such as lack of investment related discussions in their peer groups widely held belief that money management is the domain of men. The final factor given by the author is that lack of suitable advice for women. The author tells that even women aware of financial products will not invest much as they are more concerned about savings. Another reason can be the lack of trust on information provided by financial institutions. The author also tells that the lack of investment by women can also be because of financial advices that are more directed towards men. The language used by the financial institutions or more returns or profit discussed rather than addressing the risk mitigation. For example, studies in developed countries such as the United States showed that the language used was more returns focused rather than addressing the risk mitigation. Even if the woman has the ability to take risks they get advices to go for low risk investments that give low returns. The author also tells that women prefers to start investment when they are vulnerable. So, they are likely to be misguided by the commission based advices. In most cases, they fail to give the best advice that suits the women financial knowledge and risk taking ability. In addition, there may also be stereotypes at play which may lead to women being given ultra conservative advice. As a result, they may stick to low risk investments that give low returns even if they had the ability to take risks early in their career. So, in this article, we have discussed the need for providing financial planning for women and also we can conclude by saying that by providing means for proper financial management and making them more financial literate, women could be financially empowered and this will lead to their overall well-being. So, with this information, we have come to the end of the discussion of this topic. Now, let us move on to the next news article. This news article is about the possible threats posed by the Islamic State Operatives in India. The news article says that the Central Intelligence Agency has issued warning to the security forces about the possible low-nulfe attacks by Islamic State Operatives in the run-up to the Republic Day celebrations. In this contest, we will be discussing in brief about the rise and fall of the Islamic State, the threat posed by its ideology and the meaning of low nulfe attacks. Note that the Islamic State also known as ISIS that is Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Also, it is known as ISIL that is Islamic State of Iraq and 11th and this Islamic State has emerged from the remnants of another terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda in Iraq. It was in a weak state for a long time because of the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq but it has begun to re-emerge following the withdrawal of the U.S. troops since 2011.  Note that it was in 2014 Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi announced the formation of an Islamic Caliphate, Islamic State captured and controlled large oil fields in these regions which was the main source of their income. Over the years, the Islamic State was able to radicalize significant number of youths from several countries including India. Islamic State had emerged as a powerful terrorist organization with study income from oil, access to state-of-art weapons and possessed a radical ideology which had sympathizers from all over the world. In this context, the old leaders started to form coalitions and fight against the Islamic State. The United States, Russia, Syria, Turkey and Iraq were directly involved in the battle fail against the Islamic State. Note that the years-led operation is known as Operation Inherent Resolve. Most recently, the self-proclaimed Caliph of the Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in the joint operation by the U.S. and Syrian forces. And this was a big blow to the Islamic State which had already lost most of its territories. Despite the death of its leaders, the Islamic State still posed a great threat mainly because only the leader is dead but the ideology that gave birth to the Caliphate is still alive. We still don't have much information about the sleeper cells of the Caliphate all over the world. Note that sleeper cells are the supporters of a group which remain dormant in action until activated. Another reason is that the vast network of Islamic State sympathizes who have the ability to carry out lone wolf attacks. Note that a lone wolf attack is an individual who prepares and commits violent acts without much assistance from the main terrorist group. Note that the lone wolves are the self-motivated by the ideology of the groups to which it owes allegiance. The IS had for a long time used the social media platforms to spread its ideology. This has end its sympathizes from all over the world who carried out attacks on their own. This grave threat remains a challenge for the countries. Another important reason is that the volatile and unstable atmosphere in the Middle East. Note that most of the terrorist organizations including Islamic State establish themselves as an alternative and a strong regime. So the old leaders and the leaders of the Middle Eastern States such as Syria, Iraq, Turkey should form the stable governments otherwise Islamic State or similar groups might re-emerge in the region again. Now let us discuss some of the infamous lone wolves attacks carried out by the IS sympathizers. The most infamous among them are the Paris attack in November 2015, then Sanas mass bombings in Yemen in 2015 and also in 2016 Orlando nightclub shootings in the United States, then Westminster attack in United Kingdom, then Surabaya church bombings in Indonesia in 2018 and the recent being Sri Lanka Easter bombings. The above mentioned facts proves that Islamic State sympathizers had carried out attacks resulting in massive casualties all over the world. So the old leaders cannot imagine that Islamic State is dead. Despite the differences, they must stand together to fight off such extremist ideologies as it is a global threat. Now let us come back to the news article. The author says that recently the Ministry of Home Affairs had issued a communication to all the states. It stated that India is concerned about the success of the Islamic State in radicalizing a few Indian youth and also attracting certain sections of the local population to participate in its activities or to support terrorist groups operating in India and this has the potential to result in lone wolf attacks in the country. The article also mentions that overall security scenario in the country is a cause of concern because of the threat emanating from Pakistan and the Afghanistan-Pakistan belt. The article mentions that the Pakistan's inter- services intelligence continue to provide infrastructural, financial and logistical assistance to terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Toeba and the Jaish-e-Mohamad. The author also mentions about an evolving new dimension. It is the formation of a new nexus between the terrorist outfits based in India and the extremist organizations in Pakistan. This helps the homegrown terror outfits in terms of procurement of weapons, technology and the training. Note that the porous coastline in the southeast and southwest of India is an easy route for terror outfits to push their men and material into the country. This is of great concern for Indian security forces. Note that the 26x11 or 2008 Mumbai attack masterminds came to India via the west coast. The article tells that India's coastal neighbors namely Sri Lanka and the Maldives were used by Pakistan's terrorist elements for anti-India activities. From these countries, the terrorists might try to infiltrate into the coastal areas of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The author mentions that the recent developments in Jammu and Kashmir and the pre-emptive A-strike on non-military targets inside Pakistan by the Indian Air Force had considerably enhanced the threat from these outwards. So with this, we have come to the end of the discussion of this topic. Now let us move on to the next news article. This news article is about air pollution in Delhi. See that air pollution is a recurring problem in Delhi, especially during the winter months. Therefore, you would get continuous news article on a daily basis about air pollution in the capital city of Delhi. This gives a chance for you to also know and stay updated about several environment and pollution control agencies, then also about air quality monitoring systems and also about various policies and schemes of the central government and also the respective state governments. The syllabus that is relevant to the analysis of this news article is given here for your reference. Therefore, today we shall be seeing this front page news article. In this news article, two air quality monitoring systems have been mentioned. One is the National Air Quality Index or AQI and the other SAFO or the System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting. First, let us see about the National Air Quality Index. Note that it was launched by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in the month of October 2014. AQI acts as one number, one color, one description so that even a common citizen of India can understand the impact of air pollution in the place where he lives in. Note that air quality index is released by the Central Pollution Control Board and this index was based on continuous monitoring of eight pollutants. They are the Particulate Meter 10 or PM 10, Particulate Meter 2.5 or PM 2.5, Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Ozone, Ammonia and Lead. As you can see in this table, there are six AQI categories which are good, satisfactory, moderately polluted, poor, very poor and severe. One color is assigned to each of the categories like dark green for good category and the dark red for severe category. Now let us see the news article. It tells that air quality index of Delhi stood at 494 as on Sunday evening. It is the highest value recorded in the past three years so it falls under the category of severe. Next, let us see the next air quality monitoring system that is mentioned in this article. It is the SAFO system that is System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting. This initiative was introduced by the Ministry of Air Sciences. Kindly note that the Ministry of Environment is not involved in the introduction of the SAFO system. The SAFO system is developed by the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology of Pune along with Indian Meteorological Department and the National Center for Medium Range Weather Forecasting. Note that SAFO is implemented by collaborating with local municipal corporations and various local educational institutions and government agencies in the metro cities of India where the air quality data is monitored. As the name indicates, SAFO will provide location specific information on air quality in almost in real time and it also forecast for one to three days in advance for the first time in India. The AQI parameters which we saw previously are considered for reporting the air quality by SAFO. Based on the values, the advisories for human health are released by SAFO. The pollutants that are monitored in SAFO are PM1, PM2.5 that is particulate matter 2.5, PM10 that is particulate matter 10, ozone, carbon monoxide, then nitrogen oxides, then sulphur dioxide, then black carbon, then methane and also non-methan hydrocarbons, then volatile organic compounds, then benzene and finally mercury. The monitored meteorological parameters in SAFO are also UV radiations and also other parameters like rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction including solar radiation and these parameters are also monitored in SAFO system. Now come back to the news article. It tells that as per the SAFO system, the overall air quality index or the air quality index of Delhi has reached as high as 708 by the evening of 3rd November. Note that this is about 14 times higher than the safe level of 0 to 50. See that there is no air quality category for AQI value of 708 and sometimes it is mentioned as severe plus category when the air quality value crosses more than 500. The Ministry of Air Sciences has told that the reason for such poor air quality levels is because of the western disturbances. The increased noise show from a passing western disturbances on November 2nd and 3rd had led to the increased air pollution in Delhi and adjoining areas and also the western disturbance did not bring as much rain as expected. Also it stalled or stopped the winds and because of lack of wind flow the disposal of air pollutants was retarded. Hence the air pollution increased to extremely dangerous levels according to the SAFO. Therefore, so the mentioned air quality monitoring systems like SAFO, National Air Quality Index are very important for your plumes exam. Now let us discuss some of the reasons mentioned in this news article that is why the air pollution is severe in Delhi. One reason is that western disturbances that we have already discussed and the other reasons mentioned is that about stubble burning. The Delhi Chief Minister had said that the center had failed to address stubble burning from Punjab and Haryana.  Here the burning of agriculture crop residues like stock and straw. The Chief Minister had said that the stubble burning has contributed to as much as about 45% of Delhi's pollution in the last two days. Because of this severe air pollution the news article tells that several flights have been delayed due to the thick haze in Delhi. Now let us discuss some of the mitigation measures that have been discussed in this news article in order to check the severe air pollution in Delhi. It has been decided that the cabinet secretary of the central government will monitor the air quality situation in Delhi and the NC or that is national capital region on a daily basis. And all the government and private schools in entire Delhi, Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida, Gurugram and Faridabad will be closed till November 5th. The meteorologists have said that a strong wind is expected to pick up and flush out the pollutants within the next 24 hours. Therefore to conclude this news article with respect to this news article we saw two air quality monitoring systems that is about national air quality index and the SAFO system. Then also we have discussed about the possible reasons for the severe air pollution in Delhi and the adjoining areas. And also finally we have discussed the mitigation measures carried out by the stakeholders. Have a look at the practice question and this question will be discussed at the end of the session. Now let us move on to the next news article. This news article is about the support and the opposition raised by various sections of society regarding RCEP that is Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. The syllabus relevant to the analysis of this news article is given here for your reference. Note that RCEP is the acronym for Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. The RCEP is considered as the world's biggest free trade agreement and it is a proposed free trade agreement between 10 Asian countries and with its six free trade agreement partners. The six free trade agreement partners are India, China, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and South Korea. RCEP is expected to provide export market access for India's goods and services and it will encourage huge investments and technology in India. It would also facilitate or make it easy for India's MSMEs that is micro, small, medium enterprises to effectively integrate into the regional value and supply chains. Note that the RCEP negotiations were started in the year 2012 in order to sign the deal but till date a deal has not been agreed and still negotiations are going on. It is because of the concerns raised by the certain nations including India. Now let us look at the apprehensions or concerns against RCEP raised in India. India has been destined to commit and sign the RCEP deal due to the apprehensions raised by the local industry, trade unions, and the agricultural bodies. We saw that RCEP is a free trade agreement and the essence of free trade agreement is that there will be smooth flow of goods and services and also there will be little or no tariffs. Now the concerns raised by various sections of the society is that if India signs the free trade agreement then it would lead to lowering of the subsidies and also RCEP would give more market access to Chinese goods and services. If the Chinese goods are flooded in the Indian market then it would overrun or exceed the local manufacturing and the local manufacturing activities would completely be affected and the former circulated organizations have appealed to the government to not to sign the deal. These former and organizations want agricultural produce and the dairy sector to be kept out of the purview of the RCEP. The news article tells that the farmers across the country are about to protest against India joining the RCEP. The All India Kishon Sangar's coordination committee in short AIKSCC which is a coalition of over 250 former organizations in India has said that it would be organizing a protest on Monday that is on 4th November against the RCEP. Note that this committee represents about 10 lakh farmers of India. Note that this news article also mentions the confederation of Indian industry in short CAI supports the fact that India should sign the RCEP deal since it has huge benefits for India. The CAI has noted that if India signs the RCEP deal then India will become part of a much larger supply chain in the region. It has pointed out that as the RCEP progresses and once the favorable tariffs and rules of origin kicks in India could become a major hub for coordinating regional value chain through itself that is it could serve not only as a major market for financial markets but also as a base for third country exports. Primarily to West Asia, Africa and Europe so the trade within RCEP nations is expected to increase and because of this India would also be able to increase its exports in the future. These are some of the advantages that India is likely to gain by signing the RCEP deal as per the CII. Here you need to understand the rule of origin. Let us see an example consider Myanmar and India have a free trade agreement on goods A and B that is zero tariff between Myanmar and India because of free trade and in another case India has imposed high tariffs for the same goods A and B if it has to be imported from China that is 20 percent tariffs. Now consider the other case that the same goods A and B is imported from China to Myanmar with a lower tariff compared to what India has imposed say 10 percent tariffs. Now what China will do is it will try to sell the goods A and B through Myanmar route and finally India will be affected because of this since it would import from Myanmar considering that the goods A and B have been produced in Myanmar but actually these goods A and B would have been produced in China and imported to India through Myanmar route. Now if rules of origin is there such kind of trade activity can be prevented. Rule of origin is nothing but a set of rules that should mention where a particular good or product has originated from. For example as we have saw the illustration if the origin of the goods A and B are mentioned that they are from China then India can easily curb their imports thereby India's market is safe. Also the CIA has told that those who oppose RCEP deal are focused too much on the arm that they could arise out of the trade deal because they keep highlighting the China factor but they are not focusing more on the opportunities for India by signing this RCEP deal with other countries. The CIA has also said that if India does not sign the RCEP deal then the investment flow into India would be affected in the future. Now let us see in brief about CII that is Confederation of Indian Industries. CII plays a proactive role in India's development process. It was founded in 1895. It has members from the private as well as public sector. The Confederation of Indian Industries works to create and sustain an environment which is conducive to the development of India by partnering with various stakeholders such as industry, government and civil society. This is all about CII that you should know about for your prelims exam. Let us back to the news article now. This news article also mentions that the Indian government is still in a dilemma to sign the RCEP deal or not. The government concern is that India has to keep its interest in mind. Also, India needs to conserve the various state deficits it had with other member countries in mind while negotiating. Now see the next news article. This news article tells that new demands by India might stall or stop the RCEP deal from signing. Note that Indian Prime Minister is in Bangkok that is the capital city of Thailand to attend the 16th India Asian Summit. The news article tells that Indian Prime Minister did not even mention about RCEP deal in his opening speech that he made at the meeting with Southeast Asian leaders in India Asian Summit. Also, Indian Prime Minister will participate in the East Asia and the RCEP summit that is to be held at Bangkok. The hosting country of RCEP summit that is Thailand has said that RCEP deal could be signed by February 2020. If you see that Thailand had previously said it aimed to conclude RCEP negotiations by the end of this year that is 2019. It is because India has raised certain new demands in the last minute during the negotiations. This news article tells that new demands made last week are difficult to meet. So, RCEP deal is likely to be delayed or India might be left out of the RCEP deal. Note that the new demands have not been disclosed by the Indian government so far. We will analyze the updates in the future sessions. Therefore, from this news article we have discussed what is meant by RCEP, the advantages and the apprehensions about the RCEP and the support by the confederation of Indian industries to sign the RCEP deal and the opposition by the foremost organization Saganist RCEP. Have a look at the practice prelims question and this question will be discussed at the end of the session. Now let us move on to the practice prelims question session. Now consider this question. Here the question is framed based on the system of air quality and weather forecasting. With respect to this question, the three statements have been given and you have to choose the correct option for this question. The first statement is about who has developed software system. Now see the first statement. It tells that the system of air quality and weather forecasting is developed by Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology Pune along with Indian Meteorological Department and National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting and this statement is correct. Now see the second statement. The second statement says that the system monitors only the air pollutants. Note that the software system not only monitors the air pollutants but also like the other meteorological parameters such as UV radiation, rainfall, temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction and solar radiation. So therefore the second statement is incorrect. The third statement says that the software system initiative was introduced by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. Note that this software system was introduced by the Ministry of Air Sciences. Therefore the third statement is also incorrect. Thus for this question, option A, one only is the correct option. Now let us move on to the next question. Now consider this question. This question is about Asian. They have asked that which of the following countries are the free trade partners of association of Southeast Asian nations? They have given India, USA, Myanmar, Thailand, China, Australia and you have to choose the correct options based on the options given. See this question. If you know who are the free trade partners of Asian, you can answer this question directly. The free trade partners of Asian are India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. So the correct answer for this question is option B that is one, five and six only. Now consider this practice main question. The question is about road transport corporations and here the question is about discuss the operational difficulties associated with the corporations by citing specific examples and also suggest some solutions to overcome these difficulties. So for this question, you have to substantiate the statement that is why the RTCs are the backbone of the economy. You can substantiate by saying that these road transport corporations provide better connectivity and could enable affordable and accessible public transport system and also play very important role in the generation of employment. Then you have to discuss the some of the important operational difficulties and for this you can say TSRTC as best example that is Telangana State Road Transport Corporation and you can mention some of the operational difficulties like the administered fairs that is low fairs for roads which is not adjusted to increased fuel cost which leads to low income generations for road transport corporations and inadequate capital infusion. Then also growth of private and the personal vehicles is also affecting the public transport system and also stiff competition from other modes of transport like metros, railways, even you can mention the frequent strikes by the employees of the corporations. These are the some of the operational difficulties in case of road transport corporations. To substantiate your point you can also mention that as a consequence of the above mentioned operational difficulties some of the state governments have shut down the state and bus operations for example West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and for the next part of the question that is to suggest some solutions to overcome these operational difficulties you can mention like the timely infusion of capital to overcome the lack of funds to meet operational needs then proper synthesis of private and public modes of transport systems and also considering the demands of employees and providing and appropriate solutions to their demands and these are the some of the solutions you can mention for this question and finally to conclude your answer you can also mention the modern steps that are required to modernize and run the public transport system efficiently so that the road transport systems or road transport corporations would act as the backbone of the economy. Now let us move on to the next practice main's question. Now read this question the question says that an efficient financial planning and management would lead to the overall well-being of the woman and you have to discuss this practice main's question so with respect to this question you have to focus on why and how the efficient financial planning and management would lead to the comprehensive development and well-being of the woman. For this question you are requested to post your main's answer for this question in the comment section of the video. The posted answers would be moderated and suitable guidance would be given for the answers posted therefore with this we have come to the end of the analysis of the today's news articles please do subscribe comment and share this Shankar IS Academy YouTube channel. Thank you.


the soldiers arrived here amongst them was soldier F and I call them soldier F because they were all granted anonymity in 1972 so we have A, B, C, D, E, F and so on but by trifle we know their names, we know who they are but soldier F arrived here looked towards the barricade which is about 80 to 100 metres just down the street and he fired a shot into the crowd there was about 30 or 40 people standing behind the barricade and Michael was one of them so soldier F fired that shot not carrying who it hit but Michael was the unlucky one and he was shot in the stomach and he fell behind the barricade now whilst that was happening my mother she was in that little flat up above that little apartment and the reason why she was there is because she followed Michael to keep an eye on him but she lost track of him so she went into the little flat to see if she could see him whereby she did and she called to Michael but Michael didn't hear her and he ran on towards the barricade so whilst she was standing in there looking for her son was murdering him just down the street and she left that little apartment not knowing that her son had been shot and I told you earlier on the story when we arrived back from the hospital that's when she found out Michael had been shot dead my name is John Kelly I am the brother of Michael Kelly one was murdered on Bloody Sunday I come from a family a large family of nine sisters and two brothers I have lived in Derry all my life and I am employed as the education and outreach officer within the Museum of Free Derry the museum is the tale of the story of the people this was set up by an organisation called the Bloody Sunday Trust and they formed in 1997 and they are a human rights group but part of the remit is education so someone came up with an idea of setting up an archive into the civil rights movement my job is to help people from all over the world understand the story of the conflict here in Derry but my prime job would be to tell the story of Bloody Sunday and that's what I do so we cover an era between the old history into the recent history and we will cover the likes of the civil rights era the Battle of the Bauxite Free Derry, Interment, Bloody Sunday and right on to Motorman so that covers that era during that period of time and I am there on a daily basis to actually hopefully educate the people who come into us and to hopefully explain the story of the people so the museum itself is a people's museum it belongs to the people it is totally independent we're not affiliated to any organisation whatsoever so I work for the Bloody Sunday Trust but I also work for the people and I am there to speak on behalf of my brother who was murdered on Bloody Sunday and all those who died that day as well so that is my job and that's what the museum is about the main history of the conflict in the town happened within the Bauxite you had all the major events you had the Battle of the Bauxite you had Bloody Sunday the ongoing war that was continuing here no, Bloody Sunday I say the Bauxite wasn't just the area where it all happened it happened all over the city but Bloody Sunday happened here in the Bauxite out there in Roswell Street and where the museum is actually situated is in the killing zone of Bloody Sunday Bloody Sunday happened just directly beside the building and that's the importance of where we are actually situated we were in two other places before that but eventually we got to its home that's where the home the Museum of Readerie is where the home is that's where Bloody Sunday happened and every other major event as well so we are in the correct position for instance when I turn around and say to people that I am the brother of Michael Kelly who was murdered on Bloody Sunday I see some reaction and they are actually talking to someone who was there who was affected by it and who is prepared to tell the story and that the self sold the museum truthfully because a lot of people will come into us afterwards and say I was talking to my friend I was talking to my mother I was talking to my brother and they say go and visit the Museum of Readerie and you will probably meet one of the Bloody Sunday Readeries once we were engaged with the Bloody Sunday inquiry in the Guildhall the Bloody Sunday Trust acquired a building in Shippey Street in the middle of the centre of the city and we occupied that building for seven years but whilst we were there I was given to us a rent free by a local businessman who owned it but whilst we were there we set up a few photographs and the television screen in the corner and even during that period of time people visited us to learn what was going on and I think it was a natural progression into setting up the museum because it moved gradually from A, B and then eventually C but it was important and people seen it as being important so as to tell the story of the people and what happened here there was no objection from anyone at all when it was actually set up we have never had any interference from any outside sources we have support from the Dairy City Council they supported us when we set it up they helped to fund it at the beginning and so on the Irish government helped to fund it and many many people during that period of time donated to the museum so I think it was a natural progression from the inquiry to what we have now I was not a member of the civil rights movement but he actually went out and supported the movement by showing up at the marches and so on but I remember that day well because it was a march that like all marches were banned they were supposedly illegal and the march was about internment it was a protest against internment and many people at the time were supporting the civil rights movement and also supporting the people who were in prison and the march was actually planned a couple of weeks before it and people looked forward to that day but I remember talking to Michael just prior to the march when the people were gallerying in the craigun up in the hill and I said to him Michael just be careful if anything happens to go home because Michael was never in the march before it was his very first march and the only reason why he went on the march is due to the fact that his friends were going and he wanted to go with them and there's actually footage of Michael at the start of the march and he was standing right at the very front of the march that shows you how naive he was but there is footage of him moving out of the march meeting his friends and going back in again and that was the last piece of footage we've seen of Michael so I left him and he went with his friends I went with my friends and I remember walking along with the march singing like everyone else and enjoying the crack as they called here in Ireland the crack people were singing, we should overcome all the civil rights songs and we had a good fun you know it was a good day it was a cold, crisp day bit of ice on the ground and so on but apart from that it was a nice day and people were very very joyful very happy singing, walking enjoying the crack, joking, laughing because we didn't expect anything to happen but then as we got closer to William Street which is just at the top of the street there and we passed the St Eugene's Cathedral and the Bishop, Bishop Farn I remember him standing at the window of the parochial house as we walked past he blessed the march and I find that strange you know I don't think he had any notion of what was going to happen or anything I got but then we went down William Street and which is just I'd say the building just and that was the first time we've seen the soldiers behind their barricades apparently there was about 26 army barricades built around this area to stop the people from coming in stop the people from going out and so on and then as we got on down William Street that was the first time I've seen the paris the paratroopers when you see the red berries and so on and I can still see them as we walk down on top of the building across the street called the post office but at the same time you know there was nothing there, nothing to fear not expecting anything at all the march organizers knew beforehand that the march was going to be stopped at William Street so they organized that the lead vehicle would take the people into Roswell Street so I like hundreds of others followed the vehicle but then I heard a lot of noise over on William Street so I went down to William Street and there was a small riot ongoing and smaller than comparison to what usually happened you know in those days we could have riots that lasted all day like a battle of bogside lasted for three days and two nights a normal riot would last for a few years some lasted for hours and the only time that they would stop if it rained when people got wet and went home or when people got hungry and went home and so on and we came back again afterwards but it was an ongoing thing in those days riots nearly every weekend over there at that corner so I went and watched it for a while and I got fed up and decided to come in into the bogside and listen to the speeches over free dairy corner I was walking over Chamberlain Street and I met a guy I knew and he used to take me to work he drove the car and his name was Barney McGuigan and I spoke to Barney for a couple of minutes along with a couple of friends and left him Barney McGuigan was one of those shot dead and bloody Sunday so I spoke to him a few minutes before he was shot dead so I got into the courtyard of the Roswell Flats which is just behind us and as I did so there was a shout that the army had moved into the area it was normal, the army never came into the area when the riots went on it never did but this was different that day and once that shout went up we all ran and the simple reason being was that in those days while you took part in a riot or you were in the periphery of a riot and you were arrested you went to jail for six months that was the norm so we all ran and I do remember if you're going to march in the Roswell Flats like a U-shape no, two blocks either side then one at the front like a ship if a ship if a U but in between there was two alleyways where you could exit through either side so I looked to the right hand side and I seen that it was actually jam packed with people so I decided to go the other way so I went through the alleyway and got three OK and that's when the shooting began I looked around the other side the shots started to go and I listened to all the shooting now I did know that it was army fire I didn't see the soldiers because of where I was lying and I didn't see where the who were firing at or where the bullets were actually going but I lay there for a while and I said to myself it's about time I got out of here so I got up and I ran across Roswell Street and as I did so two bullets passed my head you hear a whoosh whoosh you know so I eventually got across to the other side of the street where the Lizfanham Park and the shooting started again so I took cover in behind the building and when I arrived there my brother-in-law was there one of my brother-in-laws and we stood for a while listening to the shooting but as we stood there we went across the street and we seen a group of people and we wondered what they were doing with no idea at that time I had no idea anyone had been shot no idea because I didn't see anybody being shot and we decided to cross over the street and go and have a look and see what they were doing and as we stepped out from cover two bullets passed in front of us and I looked around and we couldn't see soldiers in front of us we couldn't see them to the sides there's only one place they could have came they fired from the dairy walls into the bark side and that's where the two bullets came from so we dived into cover again but then after a while they shouldn't have ended so we decided to try and get across again so we went across and we went and gathered along with the people and when we got there we looked down there was a body lying in the middle of a group and it was Jerry McKinney who I didn't know at the time and the people were actually trying to help him give him some medical aid resuscitate him and so on but once I was standing there I heard a shout from behind me and it was another brawler in the law of mines and he seen me in the crowd and when I looked around he shouted to me, John, Michael's been shot and that was the first time I knew he'd been shot and they were carrying him from the house on a stretcher so I joined them and helped to carry him and we put him in the ambulance just outside the museum and in the ambulance we had also Jerry McKinney who had been shot Michael and also Joe Mahon so those three people were in the ambulance and we went to the hospital but as we travelled to the hospital as we travelled down Roswell Street the parachute regiment were there so we had to go through them to get and the ambulance was stopped by the parachute regiment so I lowered out the window the F half we're trying to get people to the hospital here so they let us through so we got to the hospital and we took Michael and the rest into the casualty area and the doctor Jack Michael said I'm sorry he's dead and I said to him are you sure and he checked him again and said I'm sorry he's dead but eventually my father did arrive with one of my sister one of my sisters and we approached them as they walked down the corridor of the hospital and we we told them Michael's dead and I still see him sliding down the wall and started to cry because they lived in hope that he wasn't dead apparently they've been told my mum and father have been told that Michael had been shot in the ankle but he was okay so they believed he was still alive until they arrived at the hospital so my father had to tell him so eventually we had to go to the mortuary where all the bodies were taken and it was a scene I'll never forget a horrific scene someone out of a horror movie when we went into the mortuary there was a bodies line in trolleys bodies lying on the floor bodies in freezer units and we had to go through the bodies to eventually we found Michael and my father formally identified him that was the procedure so as we left the mortuary we were stopped by two policemen two REC men and they said to us we want to ask you some questions and pretty crudely I turned the fuck off I said we've enough to deal with there so we went on out and then I remember then we were sitting in a car and as we had arrived he took us home and we were waiting for my father who was still inside the hospital and he must have been signing some forms or something and as we sat there I looked over to my left and I seen this army vehicle drive up to the casualty all of a sudden the back doors were flowing open and soldiers jumped out and started dragging bodies out so they had three bodies in the back of the vehicle pulling them out with their ankles and carrying them by their arms showed them no respect whatsoever and the three bodies was John Young Michael McDade and Willie Nash those three were shot dead at the barricade but what they did was they picked those three bodies up at 4.30 the time I'd seen them bringing those bodies out of that vehicle was just after six o'clock so they had those bodies for about an hour and a half and the story is that one or two of them were still alive when they were in that vehicle when they were picked up at the barricade but then we had to go home and my mother was waiting in hope living in hope that Michael was still alive and when we arrived home my mother and father's house and we went in to see the front door and into the living room and my mother was sitting in the corner waiting for us and we had to tell her that Michael was dead never forget it Bedlam, my mother went down to the house, Derrick's and the thing about her that she doesn't remember anything for approximately five years after it she went down to that state of mind closed her, closed down and she was no good to herself she couldn't look after herself, she couldn't look after her children that's why badly it affected her but after bloody Sunday it became a war and the time for peaceful protest was over and you probably heard the story of a lot of young people joined the IRA the Reagan bloody Sunday was one of the best recruiting sergeants for any organisation, especially the IRA so a lot of young people were queuing up to join the IRA so the civil rights movement was done was over things have changed dramatically things have changed horrifically that after that it was about bombings, shootings people dying on a daily basis so things changed dramatically and that one year of 1972 it had the most it was the worst year of death here nearly 500 people lost their lives and that year of 1972 and it was to do with the reaction of what happened here on that day and I'm talking about young people who joined the IRA I'm talking about soldiers I'm talking about police I'm talking about civilians that's what happened here, it was massive the Reagan the first time it was commemorated was six months after bloody Sunday but then it became a yearly event whereby it was commemorated every year through March originally it was actually organised by the Northern Civil Rights Association but then it was actually taken on board by Sinn Féin so Sinn Féin organised the march for many many years in the aftermath so in other words I have marched along with other families and many other family members right up to the year after we got Savile which was in 2010 so the actual last march I had been almost 2011 I haven't marched since so thousands of people commemorated bloody Sunday example on the 25th anniversary 40,000 people commemorated that day on one march 40,000 people marched on the 25th anniversary the normal was between 10, 15, 20,000 depending what year it was and so on but prior to that there the march was getting smaller and smaller but the families came together on the 20th anniversary along with friends and so on and we organised the Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign and the families then became involved in the actual organisation of the march and we helped to uplift it and we brought more people onto the streets and so on so we we helped to actually organise and run the march after 1992 because the campaign had begun and then more people were shown support for the campaign as the years went on so that's the way it was we had a cover-up by the British in relation to the fact that a lot of people were innocent they condemned our people to be IRA, gunmen and bombers and that was totally not true but everyone knew the truth everyone knew that none of those who died and were injured that day were IRA everyone knew that but Wideray he delivered a report that condemned our people and the families weren't prepared to accept that so that's why the campaign began and we have three demands one was a full declaration of innocence for our people the second one was a repudiation of Wideray who was the first inquiry into Bloody Sunday repudiation in other words is to give rid of it to repudiate, to give rid and the third one was the prosecution of the soldiers and anyone who claimed a planned Bloody Sunday now that's what our three demands were within the campaign for many years we campaigned to get the case reopened which we did achieve through a lot of hard work and a new report a new inquiry was set up the new inquiry lasted for 12 and a half years but the inquiry was to find out the truth about what happened so for 12 and a half years Lord Savon and his team investigated Bloody Sunday and from that we got a full declaration of innocence okay if a person is innocent the perpetrator who killed him or her or she should be brought to justice so we're in the final stages I think of the journey in relation to truth and justice we had truth, not a hundred percent but now to complete we have to see justice to be done so now what we have now is the police the PSNI who are now conducting a murder investigation into what happened and our view on it is that these people should be brought brought into court and prosecuted for what they did here my family and many other families want to see these guys go to jail because they're killers they're murderers they committed murder they attempted murder as well and there's only one answer to what they did here and there's only one thing if we want is justice and to us that means these soldiers should go to jail and we don't care what age they are it's a material to us murder is murder is murder that's what Maggie Thatcher said many years ago and it shouldn't matter what age you are you know when quite recently there we actually we've seen a 92 year old Nazi be brought in to be prosecuted for murder our our situation is no different there was a war crime committed here in this town on Wall Street the war crime was committed against my brother and all those who died and war criminals are brought to justice so we see these guys as war criminals in the story and hopefully we will see that happen not all the families want that one or two of the families are happy with what they got out of Sable they've seen their loved one being declared innocent other families want these guys prosecuted the fast majority want these guys prosecuted and I believe that is the only answer and the only way of closure for me and my family and all the others I have met many leaders and who come into the museum all the time they bring their young people with them I have dealt with cross community groups Catholics Young Catholics Young Protestants I have dealt with Protestants students who come in from their schools and I talk to everyone exactly the same you know I tell them my story and I tell them what the museum is all about and they are there to learn the same as anyone else I have actually had the UVF in there they also found here for us they are part of the organization the first proper paramilitary organization I have had the UDA the officer defense association again a paramilitary loyalist organization and I have dealt with them exactly the way I have talked to you today and the respect the story the respect my role the respect the fact that who I am the respect the museum for what we are doing okay you get the odd one no who would never accept what they say but the vast majority of the people from other side and all sides respect our story and respect us and that is important so we are about education it is about teaching and that is what our prime job is to educate people when they come into the museum and it doesn't matter if you are a young Protestant a young Catholic from Catalan, from Spain from the Basque Country anywhere in the world Americans, French, Italians doesn't matter but it is important for the young people to learn what happened here because they can only learn from what we endured and hopefully they would not be a part of a repeat a repeat process of war that is the important fact what I am doing now is not just for me but it is for my children and my grandchildren they are the future and hopefully they will learn from what we went through that hopefully they would never have to endure like us we are in a peace process at the moment if you look out there the young guys and girls are getting like any normal teenager anywhere else in the world they are doing their thing they are enjoying themselves we hadn't got that you know as we were coming up we were in the middle of a war when bombs gone off people dying on a daily basis not sure whether to go on to the street not sure whether I should go to my work not sure if my son should go to school that is all gone now young people have a better place than we had that they have a normal life things can only get better and hopefully that will be the case for the future things will get better but it is up to the politicians and it is up to us to ensure that happens and I think the education the horrors of war the things will return to that common sense people understanding each other that is what it is all about well we elect politicians and we elect them to do a job and we expect them to do that job but the difficulty in this part of the world is the old regime the one of people trying to stay in the status quo in other words remain keep it as their ancestors had we are in a different era here now the old politics have now disappeared now it is shared politics we have nationalist republicans sitting along with union loyalists 15 years ago no one thought that would ever happen and down to the politicians who will determine which direction this country will go Ireland got a lot out of the European community through funding and so on we got a lot out of it we have had European funding as well and so on and it is great when you look around all the different countries even trying to still join the European community it can only be a bit better for everyone and plus the fact there is less chance of war here among us and the old days we had all the separation all the different countries and we still have that but there is no war going on within the European community at the moment is there and it is down to the people and it can only be for the betterment of the people the Euro I think created a bit of a problem because I know the British they want to hang on to their pound their pound sterling I am a European citizen but mostly Irish I have an Irish passport I haven't got a European passport I don't know if you can get one of those or not I don't know but I am first and foremost Irish but I am part of the European community I was in Brussels there last year in relation to the Jared Donaghy kiss when Jared Donaghy was shot dead and bloody Sunday Martina Anderson who is an MEP and she took us across to Brussels to put forward a kiss in support of Jared Donaghy's situation you know when you walk in there and you look at all the different nationalities you hear all the different tongues all the different languages being spoken and so on you say to yourself you know this isn't bad this isn't bad you know that's good I think it's good


Got some fiberglass in there Did a pretty good job Not perfect got some resin all over myself Came up pretty good though. Yeah Obviously need to trim this off and clean up this edge There's the basic rough shape there. I hope it's not curving too much that way I think that'll be alright The only reason it needs to be fairly straight all the way down is that the back The propeller has to be in the water so it can't be, you know, the boat can't be too high But I can always make the shaft of the propeller straight down So I can make it straight down I've got to be careful. I've got to be careful I've got to be careful I've got to be careful I've got to be careful But I can always make the shaft as long as it needs to be I don't want to tip this end down anymore because I want this, you know to line up right with the original thing so it has a smooth ride for the water all the way through Let's see. It's lining up well on the inside. I get something just pushing Against the edge a little bit. I can line it up. This doesn't quite touch the bottom I think if I take take out a few of these PVC things and let the back spread open a little bit Then it'll be able to sink in a little more Just to get this to be right even with the mold Could also be some dirt in there. I don't know. I didn't check before I put this in Anyway, it's close enough that yeah If I take out those PVC things let the mold spread a little bit. This will definitely touch and then maybe put a few Poles or something in here just Pressing it against. Yeah, that lines up really well. Yeah There is another thing that I can do to like straighten this out a little bit which is Squeeze the sides in a little more When you squeeze the sides in on this kind of shape the ends come down That would also make it faster so I'll just squeeze it in as much as I can and still be able to Fit the pedals and my butt in there. I'm not gonna do the other half of the mold today though. I want to Think about what I want to do with the other end there This is not bad. I Do want to be able to attach your order. It looks like this line right here Is where the material meets I could Trim it right along there, then I'd have a flat Spot to put a hinge in the rudder. I might be able to come up with a Even better thing for the other end though. Oh And a few people asked how I got this mold. It's from the shark slicer and If you go to construction boat like one or two or three or something you'll see me making this Try to remember to put a link in the description of this basically It's two flat sheets like this was a flat sheet and the other side was a flat sheet and I connected one end like Connected this part all the way here and then stuffed Pieces in that were the cross section I wanted and then I put some more fiberglass on the outside To make it keep that shape Shark slicer is five layers of fiberglass. This is just three two layers of this stuff and one layer of This stuff between the other two layers Because I want to keep this lighter. I also made sure like down this Whatever you call this the seam I smeared any pooling resin out of there Because you know that wouldn't add a ton of weight, but it would add you know, it's just dead weight having resin down there So I smeared it up the sides. I Didn't wait to get pigment for the resin so it's uncolored. I Was just excited to make it so I made it and it won't it won't affect performance or anything I'll just have to make sure the Fiberglass is painted which I should do anyway, so it's fine. I'm also thinking about making a subfloor Which is something I was kind of thinking about before Like where the pontoon comes to the bottom. It's a point. So it won't be a very good spot to stand Not that anyone has to stand but it would be kind of nice to have a flat thing there So I'm thinking at the bottom Maybe that much of the bottom put a little floor above that and then stuff the middle with bottles and styrofoam and You know if I have that go in the whole way of the boat That will prevent sinking even in kid catastrophic Disaster Unless the boat is like literally severed in half and all the stuff comes out But in that case, there's probably a bigger problem than thinking Man, I've been saying but too much.  Can you can you do some smiles for the camera too? Yeah, smile Where's your smile? Yeah


Though foods may be better carriers for probiotics than supplements, if one does choose to go with supplements, they'd be taken before, during, or after meals. When it comes to probiotic supplements sold in capsules, the commercial literature is often confusing, and that sometimes the consumer is instructed to take the probiotics with meals, sometimes before or after meals, and occasionally on an empty stomach. This has led to a serious confusion for the industry and the consumer. Surprisingly, it doesn't appear as if any studies had ever examined this question until now. To be able to measure probiotic concentrations minute-by-minute throughout the entire process, they had to build a fake digestive tract. Fake stomach, fake intestines, but complete with real saliva, and digestive enzymes, acid, bile, etc. What did they find? Here's the survival of three different types of probiotics, before, during, and after meals, and separately, in oatmeal and milk, milk alone, apple juice, or water. Conclusion. Probiotic bacteria survival was best when provided within 30 minutes before or simultaneously with a meal or beverage that contained some fat content.
