Hey, this is Brett and this 2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 is stock number 13212Z. I'm here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, your new and used sports car headquarters. This 2014 Shelby GT500 has this 5.8 liter supercharged V8 engine, puts out 662 horsepower. This car has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change and is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video inside, start it up, take a look under the hood and I'll give you a really good walk around here. In-get silver is the color and I shoot all my videos in 4K, so if you have HD capabilities on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or television, I highly recommend turning them on right now because it's your best way to check out the quality, condition, options, and cleanliness of the vehicle before seeing it in person. This car is in very nice condition and if you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is youtube.com slash summit auto. Click the bell notifications, you'll get updates every time I do videos here at Summit Automotive. This one comes with the SVT performance package, which gives you the 19-inch painted SVT rims in the front and the Brembo brakes as well. It has Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires, these are 250 in the front, these are 255, 40 ZR19s, and they have, I would say, just about all the tribe life, they look like they are brand new on there. You can still see the little wear knobs right there, so very new tires, if not brand new tires on this car in the front, and the front fender is in excellent condition, no major dents or dings in there. It does have the HID headlamps, the LED running lights, and the factory fog lights. The front actually has LED fog lamps that somebody put in there, the bulbs anyways, and the front lower valance is in pretty nice condition. A couple little scuffs on the bottom here, but what's nice is you can replace those lower pieces, and it's not too expensive. The front bumper is in excellent condition, as are the stripes. The hood is in very nice shape as well, didn't see any dents or dings, I didn't see any corrosion on the edges, sometimes you get corrosion on these aluminum hoods. This one's in excellent shape, passenger side front fender is in fantastic condition as well, passenger side rim, no major scuffs or scrapes on there. And ingot silver does have just a little bit of metal flake to it, really good looking color, there we go. And as you go down this side of the car, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. Take these HD videos so if you are far away, or even if you're close by, just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the car. You can see the car, hear the car, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. And if this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, that it was helpful and that Brett sent you. And once again, if you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel in the upper right hand part of the screen. Back rim is in excellent condition as well, I didn't see any major scuffs or scrapes on there. And these back tires look like they have just as much tread as the front tires, so pretty new tires in back as well. Framing under bodies in pretty nice condition, and this one does not have the track pack, if you were wondering. Check that before we started the video here. Coming around to the back, rear bumper is in pretty nice shape. You get the quad tipped dual rear exhaust. The rear stripes are in nice shape. The only thing I saw on the entire car is there's just a little bit of a scuff right there. It's not dented or anything, but just wanted to point it out because it is the only real imperfection I saw on the car.  This one does have the letter of authenticity or a special vehicle team certify that this car is a limited edition. It's number 79 of 220, one made in Ingrid Silver in 2014. We do have that. You get the books and everything that come with this vehicle. There is this graph here which shows you the production numbers based on options, coupes, convertibles, and different options on there. That's a really cool piece as well. More information books and stuff. This one does come with the tire inflator kit, and that's in there as well. Trunk lid shuts nice and solidly going down the driver side once again. Very nice condition. Didn't see any dents or dings anywhere on the car. The back rim on this side for full disclosure is in excellent shape as well. Once again, driver side door looks good. Power mirrors with built-in blind spot mirrors inside. The GT500 package gives you the black leather interior power driver seat. You get suede inserts on the side here. Cobra embossed backrest back seats just as nice as the front seats. No rips or tears back there, and it does have the latch child safety system. Carpets in nice shape too. Power windows, power locks, power mirrors, auto headlamps. You do get launch control, the different steering feel, and the dampers there. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this car has to offer on the interior. And we will be putting some fuel in this car right after this video. 16,110 miles on this car, instrument cluster is very nice and clean. You get the suede and leather wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth and audio controls on the right. Cruise controls, information center controls on the left. You get the Cobra center piece right there. You get the CD player, AM, FM, and Serious Satellite radio capabilities. These front seats are heated, and you do get your Shelby plate right there. Your GT500 shift knobs, stability control, trunk popper. This one does have the ambient lighting and the cup holders. Passenger side, floor mat, and seat are in excellent shape as well. No rips or tears on there. And the headliner is in very nice clean condition too. You do get home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lane systems, and map lights up there. Alright, I'm going to open the door and we'll start it up here. You can hear this thing run, which is the best part of this car. It starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. We'll go listen to that exhaust, LED license plate lights, LED tail lamps. Get the LED light in the rear bumper there. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today, and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality, condition, and options of this car all the way around inside and out. Under the hood, we have the 5.8 liter supercharged V8 engine. Once again, 662 horsepower, yes, you heard that right. And once again, this car has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. It has very new tires all the way around. This car is 100% ready to go. This looks like it was made by Derrick Deschens and John Dievel. Runs really smooth. There's your emission sticker.  And I would highly recommend this car from a quality and condition standpoint considering the miles on it.

Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com coming at you with 2020 Panini Select Baseball three box Wren Division Break number seven. Big thanks all of these folks for getting into the action there, the divisions right there. All cards shipped, a lot of great stuff in here, two autographs, two memorabilia cards per box on average, a lot of fun parallels, a lot of big baseball names to chase, especially as we're getting closer and closer to opening day. Four or two, six times for names and divisions, one, two, three, four, five, and six. After six we got Nick down to Guy. Four or two, six times for the divisions, one, two, three, four, five, and six. Four or two, six, there's six right there. AL East down to the NL East. The next break is already loaded up in the store on jaspyscasebreaks.com. That's our last three boxes from that case that we popped open. I don't think we have any more select after that. All right, Nick, AL East, NL Central, Walter, NL West, AL West, Jared, AL Central, and Guy, NL East. This is sorted by column B right there by division. All right, I'm going to pause the video. When we come back, we're going to see if there's any trades and then the break. Stick around. All right, welcome back. No deals were done on the divisions. There they are. Three box ran. Why did the number disappear? This is break seven, Google Sheets. This is break number seven. Break number eight are the final three boxes of that select baseball case. All right, good luck. Still pretty early in spring training, ladies and gentlemen. But already there's a big, I don't know how this happened, but already big injury news. Royce Lewis, former number one overall pick, tore his ACL. I don't know how that happened, but he tore his ACL. He's out for MLB network. He's reporting out for nine to 12 months, basically a year, I would imagine, which is crazy. I feel like he has so much talent. The ceiling is so high for that guy, but unfortunately, the injuries have kind of gotten to him. This is a big setback. I think last year, there was no development because there's such a shortened season. I don't think he was on the main squad. He might have been able to, if there was a full season, some frustrating setbacks for him. Back when his stuff was first, Bowman draft stuff, and Bowman stuff, and Bowman's best stuff was all out. A lot of people chasing the twins, a lot of people were hoping for him, so hopefully he comes back stronger than ever, but we'll have to just wait for that, unfortunately. There's Kyle Lewis for the NL West, and it'll be for Walter. Hopefully Kyle Lewis keeps things going. There's Danny Mendic, five out of 20, tie-dye. Sorry, I dropped that card there, but I've got a pretty good padding right here to save. He's got that card all over the place. Jared, with the AL Central, he's supposed to be pretty good too. I love the tie-dye parallels. It's going to be fun. AJ Puck, how's he going to emerge? Trent Grisham, Bobby Bradley, we've got more AL West. We've got Justin Dunn, Mariners. That'll be for the AL West, Walter. Justin Dunn, there's Eloy Jimenez-Blu, to 149, Marcus Simeon, still A's edition. There's Dallas Heichel, Cody Belanger coming off a right shoulder in surgery. There's Mike Moustakis to 35. I don't think the surgery, I mean any surgery is kind of serious, but I think they were just kind of, dislocates that shoulder a lot. I think they were trying to get that sort of tightened up a little bit there to avoid that from happening. He might be, might be a little, a little setback. I don't think it's going to be, hopefully won't be anything major as the season goes along. There's Jordon Alvarez, AL West, Walter, thankfully with the depth that the Dodgers have. They're going to rush him back anytime soon. There's Max Fried for the NLE guy with that one. It's already some bend on these cards. There's Fernanda to Tis Junior, Relic for the NL West, Walter, Hodges of course. Would you say the Padres won the off-season? I would think so, right? Maybe the Metz close behind, did Metz win, I think the Padres won the off-season with all the big additions they made and then locking up to Tis Junior for so long. There's Jersey and Autograph, Bobby Bradley, Cleveland, this is for you. AL Central, Jared, 37 out of 99. There's Victor Robles, we've got Artistic Impressions, Alex Bregman, I think these are pretty short printed that goes to the NL, or AL West. All right, so that was box one. Here's box two. There you go. I like that Charles. Charles is trying to wheel and deal a little bit. He's like, hey, I'll help with which Follis, flip ball or baseball. He said I'll help with Follis if someone wants to help with playbook. I think that's a good way to negotiate. I think too often some people are just like, hey, fill playbook. That doesn't work.  No, a lot of time, but what is a little more effective is, hey, you help with this, I'll help with that. I feel like that's a little more engaging. It's a good deal. Any Fancy Baseball players out there? I think people are starting to set up for, I'm starting to think more about Fancy Baseball now, this past week, kind of getting into a little more research slowly but surely. All right, second box. I hope he has a good second year. There's DJ LaMahew. It'll be good for the hobby. AL East, Nick Stover. See if we can find like a silver version of that. Jiu-sai Kuchii. And we've got a gold five out of 10, Giancarlo Stanton for the Yankees. AL East, Nick Stover. Yankees has always been going to be a scary team this year. They remain healthy. We've got the Big Hurt, Frank Thomas, Jersey, and Autograph. Trust me, she'll like it too. That's Jared with the AL Central, White Sox, and Last Spot Mojo, 38 out of 75. Last Spot Mojo, 60% of the time. It's 100% of the time. There's Jake Oderizzi for the twins, another one for the AL Central out of 199. Darren Judge, Ken Giles, and Brewstar, Greater All. Dodger's Edition, Jersey and Autograph. I'd like to see him emerge. Just break out a little bit more this season. 002 out of 209. See if he can, he can throw a pretty great fastball, gets a little secondary pitches going, gets a little more strikeouts. NL West, Walter. Brewstar, Greater All could be a future closer for the Dodgers. There's Phenons, Luis Robert. That's pretty good. Let's see if we can find one of his rookie cards too for Jared and the AL Central. Howie Kendrick-Silver, Peter Lanzo, Yachty, back with the Cardinals to 199, NL Central mixed over, as if there was any doubt. Tis Junior, Zayal Tuve, and we've got the Wizard, Ozzie Smith, piece of his jersey. That'll be for the NL Central, mixed over. Our Wizard, Ozzie. All right, Charles said, all right, all right, I grabbed a spot in Flawless. Which Flawless? Charles. Who's going to help him with playbook football? There's Anthony Rendone to 99, AL West, Walter, and we've got Jake Fraley, another one for the AL West, big jersey for him, and Flawless baseball. So Charles got a spot in Flawless baseball, and he's hoping that'll generate some assistance with playbook football on the website, jaspyscasebreaks.com. If you're watching live, help out Charles and let him know that you helped him out. Help each other out. All right, final box coming up, and the final three boxes of select baseball divisions is also in the store right now if you're watching live, jaspyscasebreaks.com. We can polish off another one of these. And I don't think anything else is sold out at the moment, although no, I see seven orders. So if you're watching live, I'm not sure if anything is sold out at the moment, but we'll go through some more orders after this, and we'll see what we can do. That Panini Eminence basketball is close. We just have to do one filler. The last filler has only eight spots. Scared money don't make money. Give it a shot. You might stumble into a $30, $700 spot. We've done 17 or 16 of these eminence cases, and of the dozen or so fillers that we've done, there's been a decent amount of fillers that have been won by someone who has just purchased a single spot, the one spot snipe of a $3700 spot. It's possible. But the only way you can make that possible, if you get at least a spot, nothing ventured, nothing gained. So venture. Okay. Brand is talking five left in NT baseball. NT baseball, the Yankees just got picked up. That was a pretty huge team. A couple other mid-range teams, one lower end team, and a couple higher end teams. If all the high rollers get together with the medium rollers, get together with the low rollers, if all the rollers get together, we can roll on that Panini NT. Jaspy's casebreaks.com. All right. The final box. Good luck. We've done rookie silver. We've got Bo Bechet, autograph, Jersey and Otto for the AL East, Nick Stober. Rookie, Jersey, and autograph, if he has a big breakout season, and if all that young talent on Toronto breaks out, they could be a threat. There's Justin Dunn for the AL West, Walter. There's Dylan Cease for Jared and the AL Central to $199. There's Bo Bechet's teammate, Vlad Guerrero Jr., all cards shipped. Behind Manny Machado is Jalen Davis, $89 out of $199. Autograph for the San Francisco Baseball Giants, NL West, Walter. There's Adrian Morrojon, just $250. For the NL West, Walter, $238 out of $250. We've got a green Francisco Lindore, still AL Central on this one, $67 out of $99.  See, maybe he forces his way into the rotation with a good spring performance. NL West, Walter, could be a bullpen threat, keeping loose in the minors. That could work too. There's Tim Anderson, and the last little stack here, good luck. You Darvish, we've got a blue Nelson Cruz to $149 from Minnesota, AL Central, Jared. First our great, Rall, rookie Silver for the NL West, Gary Sanchez, Glaber Day, and we've got, looks like a cool die cut here, Zach Collins. Rookie Silver die cut, Jared with the AL Central, nice break for the AL Central. There's the die cut right here, not numbered, but diamond level, which I think is the shortest of prints, and there's Lance Lin, and there you have it. A nice three box, random division break, number seven of 2020, Panini Select Baseball. Get it going. We've got the last three boxes in the store right now, jaspeaskasebrakes.com. I'm Joe, and I'll break that with you next time. Bye-bye.

There are some games out there that simply do not need reviews, or in the case of NBA Jam Tournament Edition, the review could consist of four words. Look at this game.  This game is incredible in its absurdity, and not to mention incredible in its 90s-ness. You got the announcer shouting incredibly dated catchphrases. Guys jumping 30 feet into the air, the ball bursting into flames, you got the classic 90s players like Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and Eric Montross, okay?  Man, that's terrible. Anyway, NBA Jam brings all these elements together to form the ultimate arcade game. Now you might be thinking right now, what's the difference between the original NBA Jam and Tournament Edition? In terms of the actual gameplay, absolutely nothing, it's nearly identical, but Tournament Edition just has more stuff, more players, and more codes. Codes like being able to dunk from anywhere on the floor, seriously, this never ever gets old. There's tons of other codes too, like being able to block every shot, infinite turbo, slippery mode, speed mode, on fire mode. You can even enable hotspot settings, which can allow up to 9 points per shot. Reminds me of the old MTV rock n' jock basketball game. The codes are really easy to enter in too, it's just a simple sequence you enter on the tonight's matchup screen. There's also tons of unlockable characters, everybody from Bill and Hillary Clinton to a selection of mascots, to the Beastie Boys, the Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff, and, uh, Prince Charles. Sure, okay.  Anyway, I've got a link in the description to a Game Facts page that has everything listed there for you. So is there any real difference between playing NBA Jam or NBA Jam Tournament Edition on Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis? Not really, some of the unlockable characters are different between the two games, but other than that, both games are very similar. It's not like the EA Sports NHL games, where everything is much faster, smoother, and just more satisfying to play on the Genesis, so it really makes no difference what system you play it on. I play it on the Super Nintendo because I just like the Super Nintendo controller a lot more. Plus, this game is also compatible with the four-player multi-tap. The NBA Jam series eventually evolved into the NBA Hangtime series, and those games are also very good, and have also aged well. I gotta mention NBA Jam Extreme, which was released in the late 90s for PS1, Saturn, and PC. Lack some of the charm of the Super Nintendo and Genesis games, but they're still good. And in 2010, EA Sports threw their hat under the ring by releasing a new version of NBA Jam for Wii, PS3, and 360, and NBA Jam on Fire Edition the next year. If you'd rather play this kind of game with modern players and some more polish, then those games are the way to go. Anyway, I've said this many times before, but the real brilliance of the NBA Jam franchise is that you don't even have to be into or even like basketball to like these games.  And unlike other sports games, NBA Jam has aged very well because of that. It's a weird and unique case where the game's dated 90s-ness actually lends it that much more charm. But most importantly, the gameplay is as fun as ever. So yeah, is NBA Jam Tournament Edition worth playing today? To quote my friend here. Oooooop, shaka-laka!


In this video, I'm going to be showing you how you can recreate this makeup look. If you're new to the makeup chair channel, then click subscribe below. It's totally free. And if you're already subscribed, then thank you and welcome back. Hope you enjoy this look and let's get started. So the look that I'm creating today is my typical everyday smokey eye. I like the definition of a smokey eye, but for daytime because of natural lighting, your eye makeup can look quite harsh. So I like it to look kind of sheeny and sheer. And I feel like the side with no makeup and the side with aren't actually that different. And that's what I like for day to day. I like it to look smoky and glam, but still kind of sheer and natural. It's kind of like all these mixture of things in one. But I feel like this look does all of those things, which makes me happy. I use four eye shadows to create this look. I have a satin, two mattes, and a metallic. Now these are all individual shadows. This isn't a palette. There's probably lots of palettes that have a similar kind of combination. But I want to show you guys how you can customize this to make it work for you. Because these work with my shade and my tone and what I need it to be. So I'll explain to you what I'm using, but also how you can actually customize a palette to work for you too. So first we have our satin shade. So this has a slight sheen to it. For anyone who doesn't know, a satin is somewhere in between a matte and a shimmer. So it sort of has a sheen, but it's not completely matte, if that makes sense.  That the sheen is perhaps a little lighter. So about one shade lighter than your skin tone with a slight sheen is what you want. Then I also have my mid-tone. So your mid-tone should always be matte. Some people call this a transition shade. I call it a mid-tone because it's a middle tone. It's not lighter than my skin tone. It's not too dark compared to my skin tone. It's somewhere in between. It's a middle tone. And sometimes I'll use my bronzer for this as well. But I do like using eye shadows because the payoff and how long they last is a little bit better than using a bronzer. And then my metallic shade is like a bronzy tone. So I usually use this for adding a little bit more depth. Kind of like a contour sort of effect with a sheen to it. So this has a bronze with a purple undertone because that works for my undertone. So basically, if you like kind of warmer bronze or cooler bronze, just use something within the bronze family with a slight sheen. And then I always like to have a matte black in here as well. So this is carbon by MAC. So all these eyeshadows are by MAC, but you don't need MAC eyeshadows. I just happen to be using these. There's so many drugstore alternatives and cheaper alternatives out there. I'm just using these ones. So those are the shadows done for brushes. I really only just use about two brushes. So I always have a good blending brush. And sometimes I like to use two blending brushes for this. I'm just going to use one. It's really nice because it's kind of flat, but also it blends. This is the E26 by Blend Compass Cosmetics. And then I also have a double-ended brush. So technically, I'm using three brushes, but it's two. So one side has a liner. And then the other side has this like little small smudger brush, which I have become obsessed with. And I feel like I can't do my makeup without this brush. I stopped using it for a while and now I'm obsessed again. And the links to those plus a discount code will be in the description box there by Blank Embers Cosmetics. For mascara, I typically use the Wet N' Wild mascara or the Lancome mascara. I will be applying lashes. So I always use the Duo Glue. And then I'm going to be using two different liners, a new liner and a black liner, which I'll explain how to use properly later in the video. So there are ingredients lists. Let's move on to the actual look. I always like to start off with a primer. Don't necessarily have to use primer. Sometimes I just apply a concealer, but for this look I did use primer because we're on camera. So I've primed my eyes and I'm going to start off with the blending brush to begin with. And I'm going to be taking our Satin shade, which is about one shade lighter than your skin tone. And what we're going to do is just apply this all over the lid and right up to the brows. So just all over the lid, right up to the brows. And it will highlight the brows slightly because that's a nice sheen, but it'll also help with the blend because it's going to create a nice even base to work on.  And then I'm going to take my mid-tone or transition shade as everybody else calls it. I'm going to take that same blending brush again. Don't worry if there's a little bit of your original shade on there. That's totally fine. When you bring your hands nice and low and hit upwards into the crease of the eye. If you don't know where the crease of your eye is, it's where your eye creases into your eye shape. And it's anywhere above that, without stopping underneath the brows. I've said this so many times in tutorials, but I feel like I need to keep saying it so I don't forget myself as well. Because sometimes I forget. And I'm just going to blend that over and back using my blending brush. And then I like to bring it down onto the lid as well. A little thing I find is if my lid is too light, I actually look tired. If my lid is sort of mid-tony, I look a little bit more awake. It's very strange. You'd think it'd be the opposite, but it's not. And also because we're going to be doing a smoky eye, it's nice to bring your mid-tone down. It helps with the blend. So you should end up with something like this. Putting the eyeshadow away for a second, we're going to talk about liner. I'm going to be using two. But I always start off with my black. And what I do with the black is I tightline. So I apply this liner underneath the top part of your lashes. So right at the roots of your lashes, basically. And I'm just going to work this along. And I always look down in a mirror because otherwise it feels weird. And you just want to hit upwards getting in between the lashes. Does it make a massive difference? No. Do I love doing it? Yes. It just adds a little extra definition to the eyes. As you can see from the before and after, it doesn't make that much of a difference. So if you can't do it, don't worry. But I actually really like it. We're going to leave that set on the eyes. Why? Because I want to apply a nude later. And if I apply the nude now, it's actually going to transfer. And the whole thing is going to get gray and muddy. I'll talk about that a little bit later. Let's continue. So for the next step, I'm going to take the liner side of my cool little brush that I love. I'm going to take a little bit of gel liner. This is optional, by the way. You don't necessarily have to do this step. What I like to do is I like to coat my lashes with a little bit of gel liner and also along the lash line as well. And I just find that this prevents that kind of chalkiness that you can get on your lashes after you've done your makeup.  I like to make sure that they're nice and dark. So I'll apply a little bit of liner on the lash line and also on my lashes.  So you can skip that step and move back onto the black if you wanted to.  This basically explains why you could do one or both because the black eyeshadow is going to go on there anyway and it does create a very similar effect. I just like to double up on the technique. So I'm just stamping a little bit of that black on the lash line.  So I can tap along the lash line, drop my hand low and smudge. And I just smudge and smudge and smudge. So I get sort of like a smudged out liner look.  A lot of people bring it up far too far, particularly beginners. Keep it low, okay? Just for now. Just keep it a bit lower than you think. And then we're going to take our bronzy tone and we're going to smudge this all over the lid. Starting at the lash line, working upwards. And yes, we are going over the black, but it's going to create a different effect because we're going to have a black base and then a light base. So the metallic shade is going to go over both and create a grading effect for us. I promise you, you can do this so quickly. It seems like a lot of steps, but once you learn it, it's just like it's done and then it always looks really good. Then apply lots of mascara and you should end up with something that looks like this. I'm going to go in and apply my lashes and I always get people asking me, why don't I apply my lashes? So just to mention it, first of all, don't try this at home. It's not suitable, but it works for me.  And I don't apply it on the lash band or underneath. I apply it on top of the lashes and I sweep upwards to kiss my natural lashes to apply a little bit of glue on them. Yes, there's glue on your lashes. It's scary.  You want to kind of stick the natural lashes and the fake ones together. And once again, don't try this at home, but I just wanted to show you. It means that you have your own natural lash line and that's why I really like doing it. Now I always get just a little bit of a smudge because my eyes water and also there's black now on our lower lash line. We want to clean that up before we apply the nude. So I'm just going to clean this area up and now we can apply our nude because the top part has set. We're not going to come down anymore. We've got rid of all the part that has come down and now we can apply the nude on the lower lash line. Then I go in with my mascara. I take a little bit of the mid-tone and the metallic shade and just apply this underneath the eyes, just on that lower lash line. Then I take the black on the liner brush and just press this underneath the lashes and there you go. It sounds so complicated. It sounds like there's so many steps, but trust me, it's so easy and the steps are actually really easy to do even though there's a lot of them. It's just about whacking the makeup on basically and that's why I like it for day to day. If you enjoyed this video, please give it a thumbs up. I'd really appreciate it.

A very good evening aspirants. Welcome to the Hindu newspaper analysis. This video is brought to you by Shankar IS Academy. Today's date is 2nd of September 2022. Now before looking into the list of news articles that we are going to discuss today, I have an announcement for you. See the pre-storming test series batch one is going to start in Ananahar. Starts on 12th of September 2022 and the first test will be on 19th of September 2022. The series will be covering 66 tests which also includes general studies, CSAT and three mock tests. All the tests will be conducted in offline mode on the scheduled dates from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. followed by live discussion from 4 30 p.m. to 7 30 p.m. The students who missed the offline test can take the test after two days in online and they will be provided with recorded discussions. The availability of online mode test is until our mock test before Prelims 2023 examination. The explanation key will also be provided to the students. So with this announcement now let's look into the list of news articles that we are going to discuss today. We have six different news articles. We have almost covered everything in today's news article like we have an article regarding art and culture then we have a science article especially we have an open article which is an interview given by two retired officers of government of India. So without much delay let's get into the news article discussion. Now look at this first news article. Have a look at this open article. See this article is written in the backdrop of a recent issue that was triggered by a comment made by an IS officer. See a senior IS officer of Telangana she tweeted her opinion about the release of 11 convicts of Balkis Banu case. Immediately this triggered a debate of can a civil servant comment on a decision of a state government or not. So this issue is what discussed in this open article where two senior retired officials of government of India has shat their opinion. One among them is the retired judge of the Supreme Court Justice B. N. Sri Krishna will call him as B. N. K. in short and the other officer is a retired IS officer K. Sujata Rao. See here their opinion is of utmost importance to us because they both know how the government or judiciary functions and how the tweet of the IS officer will be viewed. So without much delay now let us get into the discussion. Now recently what happened was as part of celebrating India's 75th Independence Day certain category of convicts was asked to be released by central government. Following this the Gujarat government released the 11 convicts of Balkis Banu case. It was done after a recommendation by a panel appointed by the Gujarat government. So here their sentence of life imprisonment was remitted totally based on 1992 remission policy of the Gujarat government. This release triggered public anger and the senior IS officer of Telangana she tweeted from her personal Twitter account in support of Ms. Balkis Banu and questioned the Gujarat government's decision. Well this started the debate of can a civil servant question government's decision publicly or not. It was stated that the officer breached central civil service conduct rules of 1964. See these rules lay down clear principles as to what the government expects from its employees and it applies to both official and personal life of the government servant. So if an official violates conduct rules he or she may face disciplinary action or departmental proceedings. So what is the rule they are particularly talking about? It is the rule number nine. See the rule bars or prohibits criticism of government by a government servant. It says that government servant shall not make any statement which has the effect of an adverse criticism of any current or recent policy or action of the central government or a state government. Apart from this they also cannot make a statement which is capable of embracing the relations between the central government and the government of any state or relations between the central government and the government of any foreign state. Here the statement could be any radio broadcast, telecast through any electronic medium or a statement made in any document. The government servant cannot make such a statement either in her own name or even anonymously or pseudonymously or in the name of any other person also. The same is applicable in case of any communication to the press or in any public utterance. So from this rule it is clear that the government servant just simply cannot criticize the government, its policy or its decision and therefore it curtails their freedom of speech. So can we say here article 19 is violated by this rule? See this is where the trick is on the face of it one may argue the rule curtails their fundamental rights but we know the right to freedom of speech and expression is subject to reasonable restrictions. A reasonable restriction can be imposed by a law on this right. So does the rule 9 imposes a reasonable restriction on the freedom of speech of government servants? To find the answer for this question let us look into what the retired officer have to say. First let us see the observations of BNK.  The IAS officer has to follow disciplinary rules including the rule 9. So she is prevented from expressing herself freely with regard to anything that has to do with the governance of the country. He also has the view that the rule reasonably restricts the fundamental right of freedom of speech. Even the retired IAS officer K. Sujatha Rao she agrees that the rule does not violate article 19. It is only because the rules are necessary to maintain discipline in any organization. Now comes another question. Does the rule violate the right to object or right to dissent? Here both the retired officers they agree that a government servant has the right to object or a right to dissent but whether the rule bars this right or not is a question that need to be addressed by the supreme court. So now regarding the tweet their opinion is it has to be seen on a case-by-case basis because Bulkis Bono case was a travesty of justice. So releasing the convicts is a mockery of law and a civil servant who has to uphold the law being angered by this move has to be taken as an exception and simply we cannot decide that the IAS officer breached the rules. So these were the observations of both experienced officers. So now as a conclusion while dealing with the matter relating to rules 9 the supreme court has to keep in mind certain factors. First the contact rules were made way back during the British time when there was no social media and when the British wanted to exert control over the officers. So it is time to revisit these rules and update it to the current requirement while doing so they can also mention whether the civil servants can comment in social media platform or not. Second it has to kept in mind that India is a democratic country so the government should rule within the limits set by constitutional law and citizens rights. The right to criticize the government is a fundamental right inherent in article 19 the same applies to civil servants also. See I'm saying this based on a judgment of Kerala High Court in 2018 the case is Prasad Panyan versus Central University of Kerala. Here the High Court held that one cannot be prevented from expressing his views merely because he is an employee. In a democratic society even institution is governed by democratic norms. Healthy criticism is a better way to govern a public institution. So if criticism is necessary for a public institution government of India is the biggest public institution of India. So a civil servant who is an employee of this public institution has the right to criticize also but again this can be restricted only on the grounds mentioned in the constitution. So the conclusion here is the government has to reconsider this rule and make necessary amendments to protect the basic and fundamental rights of government servants. So this news article is very very important news article in GS paper 2 exclusively we have a topic called role of civil servants. Again in ethics paper also we have many topics with respect to code of conduct and conflict of interest. So you can use these points as an example in your main sansai writing. So in this news article discussion we saw in detail about can a civil servant comment on a decision of state government or not. So with these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Have a look at this news article. This news article talks about the Indian made HPV vaccine. See it is India's first indigenously developed vaccine to prevent cervical cancer. Its name is CervaVac and is likely to cost rupees 200 to 400 per shot and it will be commercially available later this year. Also this CervaVac which is developed by SII was approved by the drug controller general of India in July. So this is the cracks of the news article given here in this context. Let us discuss about this HPV vaccine in Prillin's perspective. See HPV vaccines protect against inflection with human papilloma virus that is HPV. Now before knowing about the vaccine let us have a brief understanding about the virus first. See HPV is a member of the family Papilloma Viride. They are small non-enveloped deoxyribonucleic acid that is DNA viruses. This human papilloma virus is a group of more than 200 related viruses of which more than 40 hours spread through direct sexual contact. Among these two HPV types cause genital warts. Genital warts or soft growths that appear on the genitals they can cause pain, discomfort and itchy. Okay and about a dozen of HPV types can cause certain types of cancers like cervical, anal, vulvar and vaginal. Okay know that nearly 83% of invasive cervical cancers in India and 70% of cases worldwide or attributed to HPV types 16 or 18. And when you ask about the transmission of this virus see the virus transmission is influenced by sexual activity and age. Almost 75% of all sexually active adults are likely to be infected with at least one HPV type. A vast majority of the infections resolve itself and only a minority that is less than 1% of the HPV infection progress to cancer. Okay when you take India alone annually 1.25 lakh women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and over 75,000 die from the disease. So cervical cancer is ranked as the most frequent cancer in women in India. And remember HPV is a necessary cause of cervical cancer but it is not a sufficient cause which means other co-factors are necessary for progression from cervical HPV infection to cancer. For example long-term use of hormonal contraceptives, high parity, early initiation of sexual activity, multiple sex partners, tobacco smoking and co-infection with HIV are identified as established co-factors. So all these co-factors might lead HPV infection to HPV cancer. Okay so with this basic understanding now let us see about the vaccine. First of all why vaccine is required? See currently all genital HPV infections cannot be prevented exactly by abstinence and lifetime mutual monogamy. That is just by stopping to have sexual relationship with partners and when two partners agree to be sexually active with only one another this HPV infection cannot be prevented. This is because there is no clear evidence that barrier methods of contraception most notably use of condoms confer a protection against HPV infection. Secondly except for genital warts the infection is asymptomatic. See susceptible female population have to adhere to routine screening through periodic pap smears. A pap smear also called a pap test is a procedure to test for cervical cancer in women. A pap smear involves collecting cells from cervix that is the lower narrow end of uterus which is at the top of vagina. But the issue here is this method has been unsatisfactory even in developed countries. So wherein developing countries like India large scale routine screening is very difficult to achieve. So because of these two reasons vaccine is needed for HPV. Now coming to the Indian made HPV vaccine see in general the recombinant DNA technology is used to express the L1 major capsid protein of HPV in East. And this will self-assemble to form empty shells resembling a virus called virus like proteins or VLPs. See regarding this VLP only yesterday Ketana ma'am explained in detail so I am not going to explain about it here. If you want a clear understanding click this link and do watch the topic. Now coming back these VLPs have the same outer L1 protein coat as HPV but they do not contain any genetic material. The vaccine uses these VLPs as antigens to induce a strong protective immune response. So if an exposure occurs the vaccinated person's antibodies against the L1 protein will coat the virus and prevent it from releasing its genetic material. Okay and remember so far in India we have two HPV vaccines they are available in the private market presently. Both are made by foreign companies only. So this is for the first time India is making HPV vaccine intelligently which is called as CervaVac. This is a quadrivalent vaccine that means it is effective against at least four variants of cancer causing human papilloma virus that is HPV. This quadrivalent HPV vaccine works against type 6, 11, 16, 18. Know that HPV type 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52, 58 are considered as high risk for cancer type 6 and 11 are considered low risk types. And remember this Indian made HPV vaccine that is CervaVac is developed by DBT's biotechnology industry research assistance council that is BI, RAC and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation that supported serum development efforts. And also know that this vaccine should be given in two doses for 9 to 14 year olds and three dose scheduled for 15 to 26 year olds. So that is all about this news article discussion. In this news article discussion we saw in detail about what is HPV virus its transmission then we saw why a vaccine is needed for HPV virus and we also saw some of the specifications of CervaVac. So with these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Now look at this news article from the Friday review page the title of the article is for a space of their own. See this news article talks about the struggles of the correctly artist in Kerala to find a space of their own to perform that art form. So in today's news article discussion we are going to see in detail about Kadakali which is one of the important classical dancers in India. So remember Kadakali is one of the eight classical dancers recognized by Sangeet Natak academy. Here Sangeet Natak academy is the apex body in the field of performing arts in the country or in simple words it is the national level academy for performing arts set up by the government of India okay. So what about the other seven classical dancers they include Bharathanatyam, Kuchipudi, Mohini Atam, Udissi, Manipuri, Kadak and Satria. So including Kadakali these are all the eight classical dancers as recognized by Sangeet Natak academy. On the other hand the ministry of culture has recognized nine classical dancers which include Chowdansaswin okay. Now coming back to the dance form which is Kadakali. Firstly know that the term Kadakali derives its name from two words Kada meaning story and Kali meaning drama. So Kadakali is nothing but the combination of these two words. Kadakali originated in 18th century AD and today it is a very popular form of dance and remember it is an art which has evolved from many social and religious theatrical forms which existed in the southern region from ancient times and it is said to have evolved from other art forms like Kudi Atam, Krishnan Atam and Kallaripayat. So here Kudi Atam is the oldest surviving Sanskrit theater in India while Kallaripayat is the oldest martial art form of India okay and the present form of Kadakali was revived in the first half of their 20th century by the poet Vallakthol Narayana Menon and Mukund Raja of Kerala. See these two men also established Kerala Kala Mandalam this serves as an exclusive training center for Kadakali. Now it is transformed into a premier art university which is located in Thirushur Kerala. So now coming to the language of the art form see Manipravalam which is a combination of both Sanskrit and Malayalam is the language in which the background songs are played during the performance of Kadakali. Also remember traditionally performance of Kadakali is exclusively done by men and young boys they play the parts of both male and female. Now coming to a theme of Kadakali see the theme of Kadakali is the battle between the good and the evil. So just to symbolize these different colors are used with their own significance like green for heroes kings and divinities while red and black for evil and fierce. Now coming to the time of the play see the performance of Kadakali starts in the evening after an invocatory drumming using chenda and madala and concludes only at daybreak. Now talking about the features of Kadakali see the features includes the presence of huge headgear and elaborate makeup in no other dance style is the entire body used so completely as in Kadakali which is something unique about Kadakali the technical details cover every part of the body from facial muscles to fingers, eyes, hands and wrist. Some features like the moment of eyebrows the eyeballs and the lower eyelids as described in the Natya Sasra were not used in any other dance style so this is also something unique about Kadakali so here facial muscles they play an important part in Kadakali to bring out the nine important facial expressions called Navarasa. So these are all some of the very important points that you have to note both in the perspective of prelims as well as mains in prelims there might be questions regarding terms and in mains gs paper one we exclusively have art and culture so that also you can use it as an example or an value addition. So in this news article discussion we saw in detail about Kadakali so these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Now let us take up this data point for our news article discussion see this data point is about the unknown sources of funding received by the political parties in the year 2021. See the data is compiled by the association for democratic reforms so let us start our discussion by seeing some of the facts about ADR which is nothing but association for democratic reforms. See ADR is a non-governmental organization which works in the area of electoral and political reforms. It was established in 1999 by a group of professors from the Indian Institute of Management that is IIM Ahmadabad. So its objectives include eliminating corruption and criminalization in the political process, empowering the electorate through greater dissemination of information relating to the candidates and the parties. This is done to ensure that the electorate makes informed decisions. Its third objective is to ensure accountability from the political parties and finally ensuring democracy and transparency within the political parties is also objective of ADR. So having seen about some of the important facts about ADR now let us see what the data point is trying to convey. Now look at this graph here the blue bar shows income from unknown sources the yellow bar shows income from known sources and the green bar shows the income from sale of assets and membership fees. By looking at the graph we can come to the conclusion that about 50 percentage of income for the regional parties come from unknown sources. In case of national parties they received 31 percentage of their income from unknown sources. Here within the income from unknown sources there is a sub-classification. Political parties in India need not show the source of income when it received through sale of electoral bonds, sale of coupons and when the voluntary contribution is less than 20,000 rupees. Now look at this graph the graph shows us that in the case of regional parties income from unknown sources was mainly received through the sale of electoral bonds. In the case of national parties the income from unknown sources was mainly received through sale of coupons and voluntary contributions. So this is all about the data point. Since ADR is a non-governmental organisation which works in the area of electoral and political reforms you can use these data in your main censor writing. So while discussing we saw about two important terms sale of coupons and electoral bonds. So now let us understand what are these two terms. First let us take up the sale of coupons. See sale of coupons is the method used by the political parties to raise money from the public in small denominations. Coupons mostly of denominations rupees 502 rupees 2000 will be printed to collect money from the public. Now according to election commission guidelines cash up to the minimum amount of rupees 10,000 can be collected through the sale of coupons. So some of the income from unknown sources for the regional parties and national parties comprises this sale of coupons. Now coming to electoral bonds. See the concept of electoral bond was first introduced in 2017 in financial bill 2017. See electoral bonds are a banking instrument used to fund political parties. It may be purchased by a person who is a citizen of India or any corporation incorporated or established in India and here if a person being an individual he can buy electoral bonds either single or jointly with other individuals. And remember only the political parties registered under section 29A of the representation of people act 1951 and in addition to this political parties who secured not less than one percentage of the votes polled in the last general election to the house of people or the legislative assembly of the state they can only receive the electoral bonds and to receive these electoral bonds the political parties are allotted a verified account by the election commission. Note that all the electoral bond transactions are done through this account only. The electoral bonds can be redeemed only by an eligible political party by depositing it in their designated bank account maintained by authorized bank. So to curb the influx of unaccounted money the purchaser of electoral bonds would be allowed to buy electoral bonds only on due fulfil of all the existing KYC norms. KYC means know your customer norms. Note here that for purchasing electoral bonds the payment must be made from a bank account and not through the payment of cash. And remember electoral bonds would have a life of only 15 days during which it can be used for making donations only to the political parties. The sale of electoral bonds is only done through the state bank of India. The face value or the denomination of the electoral bond will be Rs 1000, Rs 10000, Rs 10000, Rs 10000 and Rs 1 crore. So the minimum amount of denomination is 1000 and there is no upper limit. And also remember the donation made by electoral bonds will be tax detectable under section 80GGC and 80GGB of Income Tax Act and the benefitting political party will get a tax exemption from the amount received. Finally note that although electoral bonds have the word bonds in it the electoral bond will not provide any interest. Here the only issue with the electoral bond is that it does not have the name of the person who made the donation. Just have a look at this modern image of an electoral bond. So if a person goes and buys electoral bond from SPI this is what he will receive. Does it have the name of the person who purchased the bond? No, right. So the person who purchases the electoral bond can then give it to the political parties of his choice. The political party can redeem the bond by depositing it in their designated bank account maintained with authorized bank. See political parties were brought under the ambit of RTI in 2013 so they must be transparent, right. But due to electoral bonds not having the name of the person who made the donation it is difficult to find the source of revenue of the political parties. So this is what the data point is trying to convey and you can use all these data as an example in main sansa writing. So in this news article discussion we saw in detail about association for democratic reforms that is KDR then we saw about sale of coupons and electoral bonds. So these learnt points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Have a look at this news article. This news article talks about IMF or the International Monetary Fund. See the IMF has reached a staff level agreement with crisis hit Sri Lanka. This is the first step before extending a $2.9 billion loan package. IMF has done this after the assurance from the island nations creditors. So in this backdrop let us discuss some of the important facts about IMF in prelims perspective. Firstly know that International Monetary Fund is an international financial institution. It consists of 190 countries and it is headquartered in Washington DC. Now the purpose of the IMF is to foster economic growth and employment and IMF will be doing this by providing temporary financial assistance to countries to ease the balance of payments adjustment and technical assistance and know that countries must first join the IMF to be eligible to join the World Bank group and IMF is also one of the specialized agency of the United Nations. See it is just a part of the United Nations system and it is not completely under the control of United Nations. So in order to provide analysis and forecast of economic developments and policies in its member countries IMF releases a report called the World Economic Outlook or WEO. See the report summarizes the current state of the global economy and it highlights the risks and uncertainty that could threaten the growth of global economy. Remember the survey of the report begins in January and June of each year and results are published in the April and September or October okay. So with these basic informations now let us see some of the objectives of IMF. See the primary objective of IMF is to ensure the stability of international monetary system and apart from this it also aims to accomplish a number of different goals like that of reducing global poverty encouraging international trade and also to promote financial stability and economic growth. Now having seen its objective now let us see how the IMF functions to achieve its objectives. The IMF functions in three main areas the first function is to oversee the economies of member countries. See as we saw earlier its primary aim is to promote stability in the global monetary system. So its first function is to monitor the economies of its 190 member countries and this activity is known as economic surveillance and it happens at both the national and global levels. Second comes the lending to countries with balance of payments issue. Know that instead of lending funds to individual projects the IMF lends fund to member countries with balance of payments problems and this assistance replenishes international reserves stabilizes currencies and strengthens conditions for economic growth. See Sri Lanka's present sovereign debt crisis was preceded by its balance of payments crisis but at that time Sri Lanka did not avail the help of IMF. They thought they could manage the crisis if you are wondering why was Sri Lanka reluctant to seek IMF's help it was reluctant because if they seek help from IMF then Sri Lanka has to implement some of the reforms and austerity measures proposed by IMF. Sri Lanka was not in a position to follow austerity measures as poverty in Sri Lanka has already risen due to the pandemic but now as the BOP crisis has turned into a sovereign debt crisis Sri Lanka has no other choice but to get help from the IMF. So now coming back let us see the final function of IMF. See the third and the final function of IMF is to help the member countries to modernize their economies and this is achieved through the capacity development which is done by providing assistance, policy advice and training through its various programs. Usually it provides the member countries with technical assistance in the area of fiscal policy, monetary and exchange rate policies, banking and financial system, supervision, regulation and statistics. So these are all some of the important points or the functions that you have to remember with respect to IMF. So with these learned points now let us move on to the next news article discussion. Let us take up this news article. See this news article talks about the PM Kisan scheme. See this scheme is in use because the congress party demanded the government of India to stop issuing notice to farmers who are deemed ineligible under the PM Kisan scheme and the party has also urged the government to stop the recovery of the money disposed to them. Let us not get deep into the issue here. Instead let us learn some of the important facts about PM Kisan scheme. See Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi is the expansion of PM Kisan. It is a central sector direct-benefit transfer scheme and it is 100% fully funded by the government of India. That is 100% of funding is provided by the government of India. It took into effect from 1st of December 2018 and it was first implemented in 24th of February 2019. Remember it is being implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. See under this scheme the central government transfers an amount of Rs 6000 per year in three equal installments. This will be paid directly into the bank accounts of all the land holding farmers irrespective of the size of their land holdings. The responsibility of identification of beneficiary farmer families rests with the state government and union territory administration as per the scheme guidelines. So this is the overall idea of the scheme. Now let us see the objectives of the scheme. See the main objective is to provide income support to all land holding eligible farmer families. Also the scheme aims to supplement the financial needs of the farmer in procuring various inputs to ensure proper crop health and appropriate yields. Now let us know about the eligibility for the scheme. See all land holding eligible farmer families can avail the benefits under this scheme but still there are various exclusion categories for the scheme. So here I have displayed the categories of beneficiaries who are excluded from the scheme. Just go through it. Now finally talking about the advantage of the scheme. See this scheme is helping farmers to meet input cost during serving season to buy seeds and fertilizers at the right time and to meet some basic house code needs. So these are all some of the important points that you have to make note of from this news article discussion. So with these learnt points now let us move on to the next part of the news article discussion which is the preliminary practice questions. Now look at this first question. See in this question one side that is on the left hand side cases have been given and on the right hand side judgments have been given. So first part Union of India vices ADR case 2002 judgment is candidates should disclose assets during nomination. Part 2 Lily Thomas vices Union of India case 2013 immediate disqualification of convicted legislators. And part 3 PUCL vices Union of India case 2013 inclusion of nota in ballot papers. And part 4 is Swami vices ECI case 2013 VVPT indispensable for free and fair election. So you have to choose the correct answer using the codes given below. Option A 1 2 and 3 only. Option B 2 3 and 4 only. Option C 1 3 and 4 only. And option D 1 2 3 and 4. See answering questions like these are very difficult. But still if you are very serious about the examination you have to solve question like these. So here the correct answer is option D 1 2 3 and 4 because all the pairs are correctly matched. So now moving on with reference to international monetary fund IMF consider the following statements. Statement one special drawing rights of the IMF can be exchanged for hard currencies. Statement two India is a founding member of IMF. Which of the statements given above is or are correct. Option A 1 only. Option B 2 only. Option C both 1 and 2. Option D neither 1 nor 2. See the correct answer for the question is option C both 1 and 2. Here both the statements given here are correct. Now today take this as a task for you. Find what is the meaning of SDR and find how it works. And if you need further clarification you can let me know it in the comment section. I'll force your explain you the concept in my next presentation. The second statement is correct because India is a founding member of IMF. So the correct answer for the question is option C both 1 and 2 because both the statements are correct. Now moving on consider the following statements. Statement one India is the first country to produce vaccine for human papilloma virus HPV. Statement two human papilloma virus HPV causes lumpy skin disease. Which of the statements given above is or are incorrect. Option A 1 only. Option B 2 only. Option C both 1 and 2 and option D neither 1 nor 2. See here both the statements are incorrect. So the correct answer for the question is option C both 1 and 2. Statement one is incorrect because India is not the first country to produce vaccine for human papilloma virus. We saw that in the discussion itself right India recently only produced a vaccine named Cervovax and it is yet to come to market okay. So this statement is incorrect. Statement two is also incorrect because human papilloma virus causes certain types of cancers like cervical cancer. Whereas this lumpy skin disease is caused by Capripox virus. Regarding this we have covered in detail about lumpy skin disease in our 28th of August 2022 daily newspaper analysis. Just go through that to have a brief idea about what is this lumpy skin disease. Now moving on with reference to Coody Atom consider the following statements. Statement one it is the oldest surviving Sanskrit theatre in India. Statement two it is performed in Cootambalams which are generally built inside the temple. Which of the statements given above is or are incorrect. So here you have to choose the incorrect statement. Option A one only, option B two only, option C both one and two and option D neither one nor two. See the correct answer for the question is option D because both the statements given here are correct. Statement one is correct because Coody Atom is the oldest surviving Sanskrit theatre in India. Statement two is also correct because Cootambalams or structures which are generally built inside the contours of the temples in Kerala. It is built specifically for the performance of Coody Atom. So the final question which is displayed here is the quiz question for you today. I will post the quiz question in the poll as well. You can attend the quiz in the poll also. So now moving on the question displayed here is the main question for you today. Please go through the question, write an relevant answer and post the answer in the comment section.

I have another sad story to tell you about the preventable death of a child. Little Gloria Thomas was nine months old when she died. The cause of death is quite shocking. Gloria died of eczema. In the last days of her life in May of 2002, it melted her corneas, permanently blinding her. It consumed her body. At her death, this little nine-month-old had the body weight of a three-month-old. It racked her with daily pain and suffering. Witnesses report that on a flight from Singapore, she cried nonstop for several hours, with an urgency that many passengers were alarmed at. Eczema is a very common form of dermatitis. It's estimated that almost one in nine people will be diagnosed with it at some point in their lives. It's most common in women of reproductive age, and the overall incidence is sharply up in the last decade in at least some areas. Eczema is actually a family of skin disorders, usually caused by an allergic reaction of the skin. Skin that is dry or irritated is much more vulnerable, as the immune system is primed by the tissue damage. Eczema is not curable, but it is highly treatable. Steroids, creams, light therapy, antibiotics, and strong moisturizers can minimize the itching, cracking, redness, and pain. To deal with the allergy, food, environment, medications should be examined. Most mites and food allergy are implicated as the most common causes, but there's also a strong genetic component. And yes, Eczema can be life-threatening, but only in the rare cases when treatment is neglected or delayed. And that's what happened to Gloria. But her parents were not necessarily being intentionally cruel. No, the reason Gloria died of medical neglect is that Gloria's father, Thomas Sam, is a homeopath. He treated Gloria with a homeopathic remedy for eczema, and each time he did so, he said the baby would get better, then take a turn for the worse. They consulted many physicians over the four months that Gloria suffered with eczema, but and here's what turns the story really ugly for me, they either rejected the doctor's advice immediately, or they didn't continue with the therapy for the recommended period. But they had great faith in the homeopathic remedy. There's a degree of cultural influence here. In India, homeopathic medicine is often treated as equal to conventional medicine. After her death, the parents were tried and pleaded not guilty to the manslaughter by gross criminal negligence of their child. They've been sentenced to 10 years in jail. I'm not interested in condemning them. I think they made some very bad decisions, but this is less a case of neglect than a sort of mental illness akin to the religious fundamentalist reliance on faith healing. To accept the advice of a competent physician, it would have required the parents to admit that homeopathy just doesn't work. This is a child's sacrifice to the gods of homeopathy, just as one to five children die every month in the US due to the beliefs of the parents or guardians. If this is a topic that you feel strongly about, I urge you to visit the link in the sidebar. The organization is Children's Health Care is a Legal Duty. They're legal advocates for children's right to proper medical care, especially in religious or cultural practices. If you see a child in need of care or the victim of abuse or neglect, please don't hesitate to call your local authorities. You can save a life. Now there's also the specific issue of homeopathy, and I'll address that in the second part.


Hello students! In this video I'm going to tell you about referencing. Okay, keep awake, it's not that bad and good referencing will mean you get a good grade in your ELC and other PolyU subjects, so pay attention. In the video I'm going to cover types of sources, avoiding plagiarism and turn it in, and referencing styles. Okay, first, some definitions. What is a citation and what is referencing? A citation, the verb is site, is a summary or a paraphrase or a quotation and a reference in your work of a published or unpublished source. Referencing is clearly acknowledging the source of the information you use in your academic work. We need to do both, citing and referencing. I have a question, what are the advantages of citing? Pause the video and write down some ideas now. Okay, here are the main advantages. How many did you get? Did you write down any that are not listed? If yes, maybe they're still correct, ask your teacher in the next class. So now, what kind of different sources can you use? Where can you find the information to support your points in your essay? Again, pause the video and write down some ideas. Okay, so here's a list of possible ideas. By organizations, I mean NGOs such as Greenpeace. So a long list, which are more reliable and which are less reliable? Okay, we want you to use sources such as journals, books, government websites, organizations. These are more reliable. Sources such as Wikipedia are not reliable. Anyone can edit it, so don't use it as a source in your essay, but you can use it to find other sources. Ask your teacher how if you're not sure. Newspapers, they're okay but don't overuse them. Talk to your classmates and teachers about the other sources. Do you think they can be used or not? Next, the library. The PolyU's library is great. Make sure you use it. Ask the librarians for help. They want to help you, but if you don't ask, they cannot help you. Use the one-search tool and go to the library workshops to find out more. Okay, next, plagiarism. What is it? Here's a definition from a dictionary. It means you're copying work and pretending it is your own. So don't do it. How can you avoid it? You need to get into the habit of noting down everything you read or look at, and then remember to cite these sources if you use them in your essays and other work at university. You get credit for citing and referencing, so don't worry too much about your number of references. If there are too many, your teacher will tell you. Next, turn it in. Okay, it's not there to punish you, and it can help you write a better essay. In ELC subjects, you are allowed to see your Turn It In originality report, and then edit your essay and resubmit. So this allows you to write a better essay. But to do this, you must submit early. If you wait until the last minute to submit, there's no time for you to edit and revise your essay. So submit early, first draft a week or more before the deadline. Finally, referencing styles. In the ELC, there are two main styles. If you are studying engineering, use IEEE. If you're doing other subjects, use APA. If in doubt, ask your teacher. Okay, in the text of the essay, IEEE uses numbers while APA uses years. In the reference list, IEEE is numbered while APA is alphabetical. Please do look at the referencing guides on the ELC website. It's easy to get right, and correct references mean a higher grade. So good reason to get it right. So that's it from me. Hope referencing has not been too bad. Remember, enjoy your time at PolyU.
