cally for the students from class 5th

topics that will be covered during the camp. The inaugural speech was then followed by the speakers and the speakers actively interacted with the young minds and communicate the im-
portance of these issues to the students.
Mr. Sparsh Agarwal and Ms. Shruti explained the meaning of Climate Change, how it starts and what are the the harmful effects of Climate Change on our environ-
ment and our health. The objective was to educate people in the society about the change in the climate and how this change has adverse effect on life of many. They told about the existing
state of our planet and what effects climate change could have. They concluded their speech by promoting the initiative taken by International Center for Culture and Education. This initia-
tive includes spreading of knowledge on the effects of climate change and it is done through various activities such as campaign and workshops at all level.
Ms. Sadiya and Ms. Akshita spoke on the topic ‘Clean and Green India’; they had a very interactive session where they emphasized the importance of cleanliness by giving day
to day examples. They very simply explained the importance of cleanliness and environment with the traditional stories and cultural festivals. They explained how our culture has always
been keen on keeping the surrounding clean. They also explained the principle behind the initiative of ‘Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan.’ The students also told the students that why it is im-
portant to keep the outer environment clean to keep the inner peace intact, how outer pollution inflicts not only negativity on the inner self but also shows its effect on physical health. They
concluded the session with a question – answer round.
Ms. Shatakshi Vats spoke on the topic ‘Scarcity of Water’, she started her speech by asking the students about their favorite subject and what the enjoyed most about the school
and where they see themselves in the future. She very ingeniously escalated the topic within the conversation to the point where she explained how the world’s oldest civilization grew
around the Indus and the Ganges and is still thriving. But this will not continue for long. She highlighted about the inefficient use of water for agriculture, reduction in traditional water re-
charging areas, lack of on-time de-silting operations in large water bodies that can enhance water storage capacity during monsoon and lack of efficient water management and distribution
of water between urban consumers, the agriculture sector and industry.
Mr. Piyusk Karan Singh spoke on the topic ‘Youth Empowerment,’ he expressed his happiness by praising the students for their active participation in the sessions. He then
asked the students about their aspirations and the future they want to live in. He subtly plugged in how the future they dream of exists within the abilities of their capabilities. How the
world looks at the youth of today for the betterment of future. He said that the young minds sitting in front of him were actually the determined and mature minds of future. He also ex-
plained and briefed the students about various schemes and steps taken for the empowerment of the youth. He motivated the students for working hard and become what they aspire to and
never to lose hope.
The Nukkad Natak Team then performed on the topic of ‘Youth Empowerment,’ providing vividness to the topic. The play was about how a woman is treated in the society and
her abilities to come over it. The play was so powerful and left such a strong impact that not only the students of the school enjoyed it but also the residents nearby and other kids had gath-
ered to watch the play. The students also participated whole heartedly in the interactive activities. The performance made the session even more memorable and interesting.
Then an interactive session was conducted by Mr. Piyush Karan Singh, Mr. Sparsh Agarwal and Ms. Shruti Khandelwal where they asked the students various questions and they
answered with enthusiasm. The camp concluded with Vote of Thanks by the Faculty In-charge.

healthy competition. He quoted the famous thinker, August Compte, who said ‘It was important to live a simple life, riddled off expectations, and to walk on
an ethical path, and most importantly to find strength within oneself.’

How Google Controls the Life ( even the basic Details) of an average person
I was wondering what everybody thinks regarding Google. Google is a business, a big business. It generates revenue from advertising. In the most
recent fiscal period, advertising revenue through Google Sites accounted for 70.9 percent of the company's revenues. Advertising through Google Network
Sites was ranked second with a 16 percent share. According to the latest net market share report (January 2018) 74.52% of searches were powered by
Google. It is also dominating the mobile/tablet search engine market share with 93%. So, it’s relatively safe to assume that Google has a high vested interest
in ensuring that its ad revenue continues to grow. But the big question is: how this advertising company controlling our lives.
Google tracks every single query you type into its search field. It has a lot of products, and may introduce new ones from time to time to see how
well people will accept them. Google has a unified ability to track and profile users that use its products. And with many of its products popular and widely
used, it's not at all difficult for Google to invade your privacy by knowing a lot from you.
A small change to Google’s Privacy Policy in June this year removed the clause which kept Double Click data and user’s personal information sepa-
rate. This means that the online ads you see are no longer based on anonymous cookie data, but on your personal information as well. Online ad tracking is
possible because of ‘cookies’. Cookies enable websites to collect information, purportedly anonymous information, on user behavior on their site.
This data is compiled together, but it does not include ‘personally identifiable information’, or any information that can reveal your identity of the
user, such as your name, e-mail address, etc. Your web browsing activity is however no longer private. Google first bought DoubleClick in 2007. Dou-
bleClick provides ad serving services, and for this purpose collects extensive data on users’ web browsing habits. The Privacy Policy previously assured us-
ers that they ‘...will not combine DoubleClick cookie information with personally identifiable information unless we have your opt-in consent’. The June
Privacy Policy replaced this crucial line with, ‘Depending on your account settings, your activity on other sites and apps may be associated with your per-
sonal information in order to improve Google’s services and the ads delivered by Google’.
Google has access to your every movement. Given the volume of data Google has in its possession, the change is certainly worrying. Google has as-
sured users that it will not use e-mail keyword scanning, meaning that the contents of your e-mails are still private. However, this is just one minor part of
the information Google has access to. To name a few, Google has access to your activities on Google search, your YouTube browsing activities, your Gmail,
apps you’ve downloaded from Google Play Store and your location and movements through Google Maps. Your personal photographs and important docu-
ments on google drive. Some other notable gadgets and apps are as given below:-
(a) Dropcam: On behalf of Nest, Google purchased home-monitoring startup Dropcam. With this Google will help you watch yourself and your friends and
your family and your colleagues.
(b) Google Fit: A new suite of health-related apps for tracking fitness goals. Like other popular services, Google Fit will track every move you make and
every breath you take.
(c) Android Auto: Take everything you love about your Android smartphone with you in your car. Sync up with Android Auto control navigation, commu-
nication, music, etc. directly from your car's touch screen interface.
(e) Google satellites: The tech giant is going to invest at least $1 billion in its efforts to launch a fleet of 180 satellites into near-space in order to bring Inter-
net connectivity to parts of the world that aren’t currently wired.
(g) Android Wear: This is Google's operating system for wearable devices. Thought getting all these updates on your phone was good enough?
(h) Google Glass: The dorkiest of wearable devices. The idea, though, is that information should be presented directly in your field of vision. Can Google
track what you're looking at? Can you enrage others by unknowingly recording their private moments. The answer is yes.
(i) Google Now: With Google Now, you grant the company permission to read all the types of data you already willingly upload to it via its other products,
then send you reminders based on your location, time of day, your habits, etc.
Just take a look at a typical android app for your smartphone from the Google Play Store. Each time you click "Accept," you are giving the applica-
tion access to all this information. Are they just using the access to give you a better experience or for some other reason? Why would an app need access to
your camera/microphone, contacts or phone? Are they going to send information to your list of contacts just by downloading their app? Does Google collect
this information also?
“It’s been clear for some time that Google sees nothing as being beyond its domain,” says Siva Vaidhyanathan, a cultural historian at the University
of Virginia and author of the 2011 book The Googlization of Everything. “Everything is subject to being organised or distilled or analysed, assessed and pre-
sented by Google’s algorithms. It became the operating system of the web, then of our mobile devices; now it would like to be the operating system of your
eyeglasses and your automobile. It has a prediction it wants to fulfil: that data will flow through everything, your refrigerator, your clothing, every aspect of
human interaction. And if everything’s quantifiable and traceable, Google wants to be the company that monetizes that.
The beauty of this strategy, commercially speaking, is that whatever serves to connect people to what they want also serves to educate Google’s giant
artificial brain about what they want, enriching the data-stream on which advertising’s value depends. The search box learns what you’re looking for; loca-
tion-enabled phones running Google’s Android operating system learns that too, along with where you are, how fast you’re moving, or whether you seem to
be stuck in traffic; Gmail learns what you’re communicating about; web-connected thermostats might guess when you’re on holiday; Glass could come to
know precisely what you’re looking at; self-driving cars could rapidly build a detailed picture of users’ daily rhythms. Devices to collect health-related data
such as blood pressure or cholesterol levels could help target ads for anything from medical services to health products. The more people use the internet,
the more money Google makes. And if you think about it in that simple way, it gives Google license to do pretty much anything. All this seamless searching
-and-finding comes at a cost. The usual way of putting it is that it’s privacy that gets compromised; the data Google collects can only be properly exploited if
it’s all tied to a single user identity for each real-world human. That explains Google’s hostility to pseudonyms and multiples. Vaidhyanathan puts it slightly
differently: the biggest threat posed by a data-saturated future, he argues, is to human dignity and diversity. That includes the right to withhold certain infor-
mation from certain people or institutions – and also the freedom to build your life around values that aren’t Google’s.

There’s the controversy over whether Google is using its position of dominance fairly: A group of European publishers ran newspaper advertise-
ments accusing the firm of favouring its own sites in search results. It has also been accused of acting as a de facto censor by removing from its advertising
network sites it deems offensive. But these days, there is a lot more to Google’s technological operations — and they come with myriad new ways to collect
our information. Now the company that used Street View cars to collect unsuspecting people’s information, and received the Federal Trade Commission’s
largest civil penalty ever for misleadingly tracking Safari users, is reaching new levels of political power. When it comes to corporate lobbying efforts,
Google outspent other major technology firms last year by millions of dollars, and took the top spot among companies more broadly. Google spent over $18
million lobbying politicians in 2017, according to federal disclosure records.
Google has come under scrutiny from the Federal Trade Commission on several occasions, including racking up the commission’s largest civil pen-
alty ever, $22.5 million, in a settlement over Google bypassing Safari browser settings to track users. A survey by Survata found that Americans are more
concerned about Google’s information-collection practices than those of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).
For a company so interested in knowing more about its consumers, Google isn’t very transparent in its methods of gaining political influence. A re-
cent Center for Political Accountability-Zicklin Center report about companies’ political spending transparency showed Google lagging behind many of its
biggest technology-sector peers. The company does not meet transparency standards set by fellow technology companies, such as disclosing how much
money it gives to outside groups that spend money in elections, using transparent corporate oversight to make political spending decisions, or divulging in-
formation about its state lobbying spending. Even the company’s shareholders have called for it to be more transparent.
Certain reports suggests that Google continues to provide unknown amounts of funding to major dark money groups such as the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce.“Google has essentially responded to concerns about its practices by saying, ‘Just trust us,’” said Taylor Lincoln, research director of Public Citi-
zen’s Congress Watch division. “But Google is gaining so much power that regulators may find it difficult to act if it turns out the public’s trust has been
misplaced.”
A Public Citizen report, “Mission Creepy,” explores Google’s accruing power, both in terms of personal data collection, and federal and state gov-
ernment influence, raising the question of whether it could become too powerful to be held accountable. Google has the ability to prepare a chart on your
every movement, both in the offline and online world, which can be identified based on your personal name. Google seems to be reaching out of the internet
and into every corner of the world. A stricter procedure needs to be put in place for any change in a privacy policy. Companies like Facebook and Google
must be compelled under law to inform their users properly of changes to their privacy policies. Restrictions also need to be placed on what information the
companies can collect, what they use it for, and who they can share it with. Lastly, as online targeted advertising gets increasingly invasive, this needs to be
subjected to rules and some basic standards.
In an era where the huge benefits of technology are being grossly undermined by the invasion of privacy, the law needs to be more stringent. If priva-
cy laws are not improved, the only way left to maintain privacy will be to discontinue the use of all technology and go completely offline.

The Church’s Neighbour
It was really late into the night. “It’s eleven already, Jenna! We must hurry.,”Susie said, just as she felt tiny drops of rain on her hand. Walking as
fast as they could, they soon joined the road to Fell’s Church. That’s when he was seen, on those abandoned streets, in a hooded raincoat. There was no
stopping to the rain and neither to how close he was getting to the girls. Soon Jenna as pushed down onto the footpath. He had Susie in his clutches and a
knife in his left hand. Jenna got up and hit him with her bottle , making him throw the knife. In that one second, she thought she saw a mark or a scar on his
hand, but it all happened too quickly for her to comprehend anything. Susie was trying to regain her physical and mental foothold, as was Jenna, when they
saw the figure limp away into the darkness. They went to Jenna’s house , which was next to Susie’s, and aided the part where the knife had grazed her skin.
Later in the night, Jenna was in the kitchen when she heard a noise, unclear because of the rain, coming from the back door. Before she could react she was
grabbed from both sides, one hand on her mouth, silencing her. Exactly then, the lights got switched on and two police officers got hold of him. They sat
him down on a chair, his hands cuffed behind him, forcing him to spill out everything.
“Brother Julian, why would you do such a thing?! Attack your own niece?,”said Jenna’s mother. Julian, fuming, didn’t say a word. That’s when Jen-
na’s dad lost his cool and screamed at him, “I knew it! Knew he was a maniac all along! He’d been becoming so since Lissa left him. I tried to tell you but
you didn’t listen.” He’s been very violent towards me for the past four passed months. Violent, and perverse too. When I’d tell him to stop all this, he would
start hitting me. Yesterday, I threatened him that I’ll tell you all everything and complain to the police too.”Susie said, in a soft voice, as if still afraid. Julian
yelled,” That’s why I attacked her today, to end her , she’s nobody to deny me what I want. I always get what I want.” “So aunt Lissa was right afterall, you
are a pathetic scum,” Jenna said, disgust etched on her face. “I’m glad sister, that you identified him today. Otherwise, I would never have had the courage
to actually take this step and probably would’ve been dead by now,” Susie thanked Jenna. “I identified the scar near his elbow and then recalled he has been
limping for three days now, and I had heard your phonecall with him yesterday,” Jenna replied. “Take him away officers, please, we don’t want to see him
anymore,” Susie’s mother said.
“Sure, we’ll call you to the station tomorrow for the rest of the procedure, he might also need psychological assistence,” the officer informed.
“Yes, officer,” said her dad. “Go off to bed you two, we’ve had enough for today. Tomorrow will be new and we’ll speak then. Rest for now,” their mother
concluded.

Adultery: A Bane to Indian Marriage System or a Base of Reform for the Individual Beings
“Husband is not the master of a wife. Legal dominion of one gender over the other is nefarious”.
This statement was read by the former Chief Justice of India Deepak Mishra while striking down the 158-year-old Adultery law under the Indian Penal
Code, 1860 propounded by the English men in which the husband was punished for having sexual intercourse with a wife of another man and the wife with
which the other man has created illegitimate sexual relationships was not subjected to any penalisation and this law was terminated in the case of Joseph
Shine v Union of India on 27th
September 2018.
Before the coming of the verdict, the marriage was considered as a pure religious conjugal relation where the husband and wife are considered as one
unit, although the court observed that the factor like adultery cannot influence this established implication that husband and wife are considered as one entity
and are regarded as the two significant pillars and there must be an equal commitment by both.
However, what seems fair and just in our religious texts may not always be upright in a practical life because though there has been a promise of maintaining
the sanctity of marriage but sometimes miserable or faulty shades arise if either or both husband and wife involves in an extra-marital relations known as
adultery.
The possible traits for the occurrence of this concept are:
(1) Lack of understanding amid the spouses- One or the other spouse sometimes not able to connect psychologically with the other spouse which results
in that either spouse starts searching for a companion to understand him or her.
(2) The Inadequacy of sexual satisfaction- Deficiency in fulfilling the bodily desires i.e., the other partner sometimes may have more than normal intimate
needs or even in some instances there is not at all any sexual intercourse between husband and wife which give rise to an offence of adultery.
(3) Living separately for a long time- A crucial characteristics of adultery could be if the husband or wife has distinct professions and they are living sepa-
rately due to the job priorities then the longer period of separation can also take the form of adultery as the husband or wife with some other individuals can
develop relations in their working environment unexpectedly thinking that the person can fulfill the void of the spouse.
All these attributions lead towards the divorce of husband and wife and it grossly affects the holy nature of the marriage.
The statistics according to the India Today shows that during the 1980s period 80% women suffered more aggravatedly because of the adultery com-
mitted by the husband. But with the evolvement of the society, the percentage changed immensely in the urban areas as the statistics published by the India
Today shows that 61% women and 60% men admit of having flings and affairs outside and they don’t consider adultery as an offence. The present percent-
age shows that women have beaten the men in the contest of acceptance of adultery.
The overall purview in the society is that women get distressed by the offence of adultery which forms the base of the landmark judgement in which
the court pointed out that women cannot be treated as chattels and the Clause 497 of the Indian Penal Code was effectuating the character of women as a
subordinate party in the marriage. Also, the women’s right to live with dignity was violated ultimately under Article 21.
The paramount view gave by the court while finishing the adultery law was that Honour for sexual autarchy must be accentuated. This will prove to
be fruitful for the women who are the victims of marital rape and domestic violence because now they will be allowed to move out of the marital obligations
and will be empowered to have a relationship with another man and start a new life thus ending the gender biasness.
However, the termination of this clause is not absolute i.e., if because of adultery if either spouse commits suicide or lives in a distress condition then
the accused person will be prosecuted under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code for the abetment of suicide in the first instance or the initiation of proceed-
ings of divorce against the adulteress in the second instance.It is said that a coin has two aspects. So, there is a big threat posing in front of the civilians as
this freedom will be utilised inappropriately by the rich section of the society as this richer division does not totally believing in performing the marital obli-
gations loyally and also this liberty will allow them to have endless thrills with a third individual.
In the end, I want to conclude that termination of this clause will show mixed reactions i.e., on the one hand it has gravely raised questions on the
religious texts views on the marriage which legalises the act of adultery and civilians will no longer be interested to enter into religious sacrament and con-
sider each other as one unit. On the other hand, it was considered essential to safeguard the sexual autonomy of the women and thus not treating her as an
abettor.

In The Life
The chemistry we have, counted as a crime,
So I thought I am born in the wrong time.
When did the world become so cruel toward us?
Without even knowing us you start forming grimace.
Desired to Hold the hands of my beloved in public place tightly,
Thorns' of your prejudice you throw on us badly
Dream to live freely covering my hopes with black clouds,
A single ray of hope felt like someone's mocking us in the crowd.
I don't care about the world, because they are afraid of progress,
Still, they do, with or without getting oppressed,
And
This also counts as success.
Examine the sexuality means losing yourself in a sea,
Love-making doesn't see the parts of the body.
Couldn't believe the day of my liberation arrived,
Now I can express to whom I love with pride.
Noted down the day of my emancipation in the calendar,
To this day a sense reached out in the world,
We fall in love with a person, not with a gender.
It took decades to understand a simple thing,
To consider our feelings as the feelings of human being.
Finally, you set us free in the world,
Where the actual monsters live to crush our dream-world.
Imperiled us are their main motive,
They think We are a genus of defective.
We are still in the battle, the opponent is the perception of mankind,
We will win this with the rights to opine.
Still, I want to thank the center to understand that our morality is not a law,
Finally, The time is over for us to live in awe.

Delegation of Cases - An Abbreviated Perusal
INTRODUCTION
The Latin maxim that is often considered the starting point in consideration of delegations is delegatus non potest delegare, which means, a person invested
with a statutory power must exercise it personally, rather than delegate its exercise to others. It also means that a person who is exercising delegated power
cannot further delegate or sub-delegate to another. The nature of the power that is to be delegated is an important consideration. For example, the courts gen-
erally do not favor delegating judicial power or quasi-judicial power. There is a very strong presumption against it.
In words of Salmond, “Delegation implies to the idea where some powers are exercised by the authorities other than the sovereign power and these powers
can only be exercised upon approval from the other superior authority”. There can be sub-delegation of the powers, by the authority that has acquired these
powers by the delegation in the first place. This concept is known as “sub-delegation of powers”. There are broadly three types of sub-delegation that are
allowed- Sub-delegation of legislative powers, Sub-delegation of judicial powers and Sub-delegation of administrative powers
Delegated legislation is one of the most important parts of the Administration System n India. Firstly, it was taken in the consideration that the function of
the Executive is administering the Law enacted by the Legislature and where there is the ideal state, the legislative power must be exclusively dealt by the
Legislature. But due to the increase or widened area of the Administrative set up and welcoming the concept of welfare state, the Executive has to perform
certain Legislative functions too.
The producers and the craftsperson of our Constitution of India anticipated a federal system of politics or administrative control for India. Though, a dissen-
sion may still endure concerning whether the nation is a ‘federal government' in the true sense of the term. A confederated and associated Constitution in-
volves a division of legislative powers between the Union and the states, each being entirely in its own sphere.
MUTUAL DELEGATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE POWERS
The Indian Constitution disperses between the Union and the states not only parliamentary power but also the managerial power, more or less in the same
lines. The result is that it is not proficient for the state to exert or implement executive or managerial power with respect to Union or for the Union to take up
the administration of any state function unless the same has been countenance by the Constitution. In the administrative matters, an inflexible and hard dis-
section like this might make to have occasional deadlocks.
The framers of the Constitution took a position which was inclination concerning co-operative federalism and enabled the Union as well as the state to make
a mutual delegation of their respective administrative justifications. The makers of the Constitution did not visualize that there should be separate institutions
enforcing ratifying authority of the Centre and the states. Inter-governmental delegation may ensue either under an acquiescence between the governments
or by lawmaking authority. While the Centre can have use of either of the powers, on the other hand, the state can only possess the former to subordinate the
administrative powers to the center.
CONSISTENCY OF DELEGATION: In the incidence of Ashok Lanka & Others vs. Rishi Dixit & Others (Appeal- civil 2152 of 2006), the court
declared - “We aren’t oblivious of the fact that framing of rules is not an executive act; there cannot be any doubt that such subordinate legislation must be
framed strictly in regards with the legislative intent as possesses in the hands of the rulemaking power”.
Thus, the delegated legislation has to find and maintain a balance that does not hurt the intent behind the primary legislation and the parent act. This is es-
sential to ensure the legitimacy of the delegated legislation.
CONCLUSION: A Delegation is an indispensable tool for ensuring better administration. Overall centralization or decentralization of powers highly
seems to be risky. Thus, there is a need to regulate the level of delegation that can be allowed. Thus, it is the judiciary that has stepped in to regulate, when-
ever the parliament’s handling of delegation has been found to be inept or insufficient. The various norms- ancillary function, guidelines, policy test etc,
have been suggested only to help the parliament in carrying out its mandate better.
The Parliament, on the other hand, is also adequately equipped. While motions and debates have been fairly used to supervise delegated legislation, there is
an urgent need to utilize question hour and standing committees even more. It is to be noted that standing committees suffer from many infirmities.
They are not provided with complete details; rules are laid and framed after inordinate delays. These issues have led to problems while administering delega-
tion. Thus, what we need is to enforce the recommendations by these standing committees on a priority basis. There is an urgent need to bring in these
changes to ensure greater efficiency in the overall administrative setup.

Tussle between Elected Government and Autonomous Institution
Democracy is a torch bearer of people voice and expectation where people and their representative guides by a
path of noble document that is constitution whereas autonomous institutions are the ivory branch which supports and
help in governing. Interest of conflict between both blocks creates a situation of deteriorating goodwill and blocks the
work of governance.
Historically government uses these instituitions to favor their records i.e recent CSO data on GDP based on new
base year trims GDP growth rate of UPA govt and reflects high growth of NDA govt ,number tricks are often mis-
used. Previous RBI governor RaghuramRajan expressed i.e sovereignty of institutions are wrist bound by few in
power. Whereas according to YV Reddy autobiography (ADVICE AND DESCENT) he expressed unevenness opin-
ion between him and finance minister P.Chitambram that made him think about resigning the job. So the conflict is
bitter and sour that continue to capture the superior power.
Recent conflict between RBI and central government is the new card in the pack.Instituions are fighting for
their autonomy ,sovereignty and trying to reflect level playing field about the government report card on the other
hand populist government tends to mold these institutions to favour their political agendas for example CIC is
fighting for its autonomy by recent amendment in Right to information Act 2005,CBI director alleging central gov-
ernment of not completing his tenure and toothless tiger( NHRC ) is demanding more power for appropriate action.
According , to Christophe Jaffrelot (Populism implies a strong concentration of power,as it is by nature extremely
personalized). Centralized government often tends to move towards autocracy or a strong man as reflected in Mugabe
government of Zimbabwe or eastwhile communist state.These institutions guides rule of charter and check and bal-
ance work of executives and reflect nonbiased picture of The country.
Irrational populist decision such as farm loan waiver, and lucrative reservation are decisive to country growth
and fight for achieving political agenda deteriorate faith of people which is essence of existence of a fair government.
Instead better interpersonal communication , track to interaction should be increased. Common agenda should be pre-
pared and standard operating procedure should be developed to avoid such situation .Need of an hour is cooperative
government with its roots intact.
