So, originally, this started back in 2018, when some Middle Eastern dude, I think his name was Salim, commented on my channel that if I ate animal testicles, I would grow a beard. And, obviously, that hasn't precisely happened. At that time, I was fairly averse to this wacko-dacko suggestion, however, as some of you know, I sell a testicle powder supplement on organ supplements, so my thoughts have changed throughout the past two years, and I think Salim was right. Since we ran out of that supplement on organ supplements, I actually got some lamb and goat testicles on Frankie's Green Range Meat, and I do prefer using the actual raw organs as opposed to freeze-dried supplements myself, but I think the supplements are more for people that just don't want the inconvenience or taste of eating said organs every day, plus you do save a lot on prep time.   If you do want to understand hormones and the nutrients you can use to boost them, as well as a little bit of what I'm talking about today, you can also check out my hormone video I did several months back. The focus today is the bioactive properties like testosterone for men and estradiol, aka estrogen for women, that are contained in the sexual organs of animals. As we spoke about in the hormone video, precursor nutrients are needed for creation, especially cholesterol, that's why, you know, vegan hormones get so out of whack, but you can use certain foods as a boost, almost like a bodybuilder who takes steroids for muscle growth, or a female takes estrogen for enhanced feminine features. And a good analogy for that is, yeah, you have to eat protein to build muscle, but the steroids to testosterone add an extra impact for that, just like you need cholesterol to make testosterone, the beef testicles are adding a boost to that. The majority of testosterone in the body is produced in the testicles for males, and for females, the estrogen is produced in the ovaries. Not only that, the organs have vitamins and minerals conducive to hormone synthesis, such as zinc, copper, vitamin A, and very high amounts in the sexual organs. Now, to my understanding, females don't need to do this as badly as men do, because there's so much estrogen in our water supply, food supply, plastics, even receipt papers are filled with estrogenic endocrine inhibitors, although I do think that is an unnatural form of estrogen. You know, I'm not saying that females aren't going to benefit from doing this. My point is that men are in a far worse position in regards to hormone imbalance because of all that estrogen in our food and water supply. So, we know there are hormones in the ovaries and the testicles, therefore, if we consume those organs from an animal, it appears that there are bioactive factors that work in the body that replicate the testosterone we produce.   Over the course of several months, that shot my testosterone up from the low hundreds to over 1,000, and I believe this is something that can be replicated for the majority of the male population. Speaking of testable jokes, if one of you guys can come up with like a motto or something funny that we can constantly reference in this video, I don't have in-depth data on this. All I have is a few blood tests taken before, during, and after I was consuming the testicles on a fairly frequent basis for several months. What that means is we don't know the minimum and maximum effect of dose and frequency. We don't know if there are diminishing returns, and we don't know if this is something that needs to be done temporarily or permanently. If you want to see the blood work results, that was in the video I did with the fake beard. Here I have a lamp testicle, and this is about as big as they get on the lamp and goats.  But these always come frozen, and it's a bit of an odd market for meat as it's considered a waste product in many places, but for some reason in the United States, they're not exactly dirt cheap or easy to find. For females, you actually want fish eggs, those are very easily accessible. This is some salmon roe. We have it available much more affordably on Frankie's range meat, and this is way more enjoyable and easier to deal with than the testicles. These will stay good for three to four days in the fridge max. The meat starts kind of fermenting and getting a bit funky, so you can still eat it, but it will have a strong pungent flavor and scare away anyone that opens your refrigerator. This is important to know, so you know how many of these to take out on a frequent basis if you want to consume your balls daily. The average size testicle like this would probably last like four to five days. Sometimes if it's really really small, maybe two or three days, and a larger one maybe six days. The caviar is salted, so it'll last three to four weeks in the fridge, and all you really have to do is have a tablespoon of it every day, much more convenient than chopping up and weighing the testicles. That being said, both males and females can benefit from consuming the opposite sexes organs. It takes a lot of stress off of your body actually producing them, and it's not something you should necessarily do every day, but it will benefit natural hormone balance for a male to consume fish eggs and for a female to consume testicles. I would argue that fish eggs are more beneficial. Reason being that women need more nutrients for the health of the child for fertility. Therefore, more nutrition is stored in fish eggs and those foods that are ancestors fed to females for fertility tend to be so so nutritious, so high in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. When you compare the nutrient profile of fish eggs to testicles, it's not even close. The fish eggs literally have every single vitamin, mineral your body needs with incredible amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, whereas the testicles just have some vitamin A, B vitamins, and a lot of zinc. It correlates to the health of the sperm. So, let me show you guys how I prep this. So, when you get the testicle, there's usually a layer of skin on the outside and you can find that out by scoring it. In this case, there is no layer of skin on the outside. Oh, well, you can see it here, but it's only covering half of the testicle. This one is a bit less protective, and on Frankie's Range Meat, we made pretty sure that all of them still had the skin on, so they do have that protective layer. This is the epididymis, which you don't necessarily want to cut off. You do want to eat that, as there's apparently higher testosterone content in there. So, what I'll do is I'll take about two tablespoons worth of the testicle, like that, and then I'll chop this up as finely as I can. Okay, so here you go. Here you see the skin a little bit easier. This is the skin, and we just want to chop that off.  And by all means, you should probably use your food processor if you want to do this every day, because this is not exactly something that's tender. So, I used to just take a spoon and swallow this down, which is kind of gross. Now I like using raw milk. You could even do a milkshake or smoothie of some sort, if you're not that strict of a carnivore. Put some honey in there, vanilla, maybe some raw local ice cream, and it'll be disguised fairly well as raw meat has a mild flavor, and this is a pretty small amount. I mixed beef testicle powder, which is much more pungent than this raw testicle, into a milkshake the other week, and I didn't taste the powder that much. It tasted pretty good. Just make sure to add a decent amount of honey and some flavorings. So, don't just jump into this full steam ahead and start eating the whole testicle every day. You definitely want to get some blood work before, during, after. See if you're getting insomnia, if you're having sleeping issues. Definitely taper off this, take a lot more copper. I actually haven't been doing this throughout my bodybuilding transformation. I wish I could have, but this seems to make the iron overload worse, and I can't sleep if I eat this. One other idea I had was, you know, take some whey protein and make a shake with that in the morning. So, you know, we have whey on Frankie's screenage meat as well, and you can mix that with some vanilla, honey whey protein. This would be like the ultimate bodybuilding shake, like a whey protein shake with raw testicles. Like, you probably grow biceps without even working out. So, hopefully you guys try this out. I'd really love it if we could get some data on this. If you guys can record, you know, the weight in grams of how many testicles you consumed on a daily or weekly basis, what your testosterone levels were before, during, and after, you know, what happened if you tapered off of this, I think we can collect some really good data and see that this might be the best natural way to boost your testosterone. So, hopefully I can start doing this again soon when I start sleeping and feeling better. Maybe I should just do it anyway for a little bit and see where my testosterone goes, do some experiments. Check out Frankie's screenage meat down in the description below, as well as the other ways you guys can support me. And again, check out those other videos I mentioned if you want to know all the specific details about this. So, you guys enjoy the rest of your day and I'll see you for tomorrow's video.


Welcome everyone. Welcome here in this room and welcome on screen somewhere. We are together for a special discussion this afternoon on migration, the societal challenge of migration. My name is a little hinders, I am part of this presentation here, I will inform you about the honest program. Then I will give the floor to my colleague, Courtney Reik and who will talk about Timiko the research network that we have at Tilburg University. Then I will give the floor to two speakers present presenters today, Max Spotti, he works at the Faculty of Humanities and Digital Sciences, and then the other speaker today will be Mario Brackman, sorry, he is working at the law faculty. And after that we will have a discussion and that will be led by our colleague Chris Van Mol. And then we promised you to have an opportunity for networking and drinks but I guess we do that the next time that we can meet in person and we organize this as an in person meeting that we all know how that changes every week. The first things that I want to say is to Amelieke Koster, Studium Generale, she has organized the whole event. Thank you, Amelieke for helping us out. Okay, first, a short presentation on what we are doing in the context of the societal challenge of migration from the perspective of research. And I open my PowerPoint for that. Yeah, please, Max help me out because. Thank you very much. Okay, I will tell you a bit about the Honest Program and I will not do that on my own I've only four slides just to inform you but I have invited one of our fantastic students Lina Zampstenberg will you be there or will you join me or will you join me later.  Okay, so the societal challenge of migration is the Honest Program that we have in Tilburg University and that means that we are offering students on top of their regular program. We have a program of four courses interdisciplinary courses. And all these courses are somehow connected to migration but also all of them show have chosen another perspective to put on the whole on all the issues of migration. To start, I did one of these courses this semester so from September on to today, and you were in this course Lina. And one of the things that happened at the time have made it enormous, immediately enormously difficult but also interesting from September on till now. We started with the fall of Kabul so to say many people who would, who wanted to get out of Afghanistan many people who entered Europe or other nation states and really had positioned themselves in the, as migrants on.  Then we had, we still have the enormous difficult conflict in the East Poland and Belarus, a board a typical border conflict, very, very complicated from the perspective of what is happening here and who is doing what and why are suddenly all these migrants in Belarus and what is the political context in which this is happening. And then quite recently we talked about even in our course on the tragic events that were happening on the sea between Canada and the UK. We have a very complex European context in which this is happening, have the Minister of France telling oh the UK is much too easy everyone can work there as an illegal person and then the UK saying you are not doing your border control very well so everyone is saying something about what the others should do. What is happening today, but in the program in the courses that we offer you, of course we put these events in a bigger context from different perspectives, different paradigms different research questions that that we try to, to discuss in a way to answer from habits with the student group. But it's very important, and I hope that that's, Nina will tell more about it is that these courses are very much, I think engaging discussion. We are not offering you just okay this is knowledge reproduced but we really try to find out what students think what are the perspectives on issues like this happening and also what are the consequences what is the responsibility for students today in regard to this type of difficult questions. So I would say this is really education with with an impact. So here is a slide in which you can see what four courses we are offering now and also how our Rector Magnificus Wim van der Donk is is is enthusiastic about the program. He explains on the website of Tilburg University that you can choose this in your bachelor program when you have more than seven average in your first year. You can use it to broaden your knowledge with other scientific disciplines, and if you have done it, you will certainly get it a certificate that you have done this on this program on top of your regular program. These are the courses that we have organized starting in the beginning of 2021. January, February, first courses were theoretical perspectives on international migration that was organized by Christopher more from the School of Social Sciences and then border and trajectory sorry I see a typo here. Corny Reagan, together with Miriam von Reisen law faculty and humanities and digital sciences combined. In September I started with migrant narratives and experiences very much a humanities topic but then related to interdisciplinary concepts as well. And of course it also started in September is perspectives on the economic economics of migration by who land on the girl and you can see that that is really a Tyson course from the economic faculty. You can say a bit more later, Lena about the differences of the courses or what you liked most in them I just another slide to inform you how many students are doing this we have now had the four courses are done at this moment by 91 students coming from different faculties. And, as I said already the didactic principle of doing this program is that students are together in a class they have different interests, different perspectives different regular programs. This very much has a consequence for the discussion, sometimes we really have a discussion from the law perspective European law, international law, and other times it is more on on culture. And that is sometimes the clashing between paradigms let's say is is interesting as well. We, yeah how we developed over the years we are doing the honest program since 2013. First it was European discourses oh sorry that is still on top, and now we have turned it into the societal challenges migration, but you can see that we have received many more students over the years. What is most interesting I think is that it is organized over schools, it's not one school that is responsible, it is a combination of schools and people really thinking we should work together on on this topic. Now Lena, this is up to you questions, and maybe the first question that I would like to ask you as what is the motivation but was your motivation for doing the program. So, maybe I can start by introducing myself first. I'm Lena, I'm a 30 student of international sociology and my motivation for doing the honest program in general was a mix of curiosity but of course also I was really interested in getting a certain certificate to do something on top of my university study just because I felt like sociology in itself of course is already very interdisciplinary or has very many possible roads, which you can turn to. So I felt like I wanted an honest program that could give me more information on top of my study without kind of just reproducing what I already know. And that's why I found this interdisciplinary honors program very interesting just because I do like to be engaged in different types of like paradigms different discussions people that do not have the same opinion as me. And I do feel like the honors gives a great platform where a lot of different people can come together as you already said. And it's just a very nice kind of more relaxed atmosphere than some of my classes just because we are, we all have it on top of our regular schedule so sometimes it's just very okay to not be very prepared for every class, but everyone just kind of helps one another and I really like that kind of like extra community that you get on top of your regular studies. So I think those are my main motivations to choose but also keep going of course because sometimes it is quite a lot of work, but I thought it was always manageable. So you have followed two courses now in this migration program, and could you tell a bit more about both and the differences between them. Exactly. So I choose the courses border and trajectories and the other course that we're having right now the migrant one. And I would say they're in general talking about similar but very different concepts so we were talking really a lot more about like, what kind of board like what influence borders are really having the social construct of borders on migration flows and so on and I feel like the class that we're having right now with the migrant experiences and narratives is more literary focused instead of really policy and scientifically focused. Of course, that is very interesting to me because I'm not part of culture studies or literary studies. So that really gives me like an extra thing to analyze and an extra thing to learn which I really enjoy because I never would have thought when I started studying in general, that I would be doing literary analysis for example because I always kind of just disregarded it as oh that's not as scientific not as important now I very much understand that it's just as scientific as everything else that we do here in uni. So, I really like that all of these program, all of these different courses have very different focuses so none of these courses even if they're in the same topic are actually the same so I'm also really excited for the next course I'm going to be choosing. And I mean, there's also economic focus that would also be an interesting avenue to look at. And then also, of course, the theoretical perspectives like it's really hard to choose a certain course just because they are kind of so different but still interesting. I also asked you how does it add to your regular program that you already said, so you were not expecting yourself to do something like literature or culture studies and now it comes in. Yeah, it really just, you know, like expands your methodology it expands the way you're thinking about things like feel like before that I was even thinking a bit too one dimensional and I feel like it really helped me just with my own study of course, because I could like see, you know, the way I write papers, the way I tackle, you know, reading a paper for example, has been impacted by this course, even if it's, you know, just a few courses that you take by the site it's there's something that is with you, or that has been with me now for the past one and a half years. And I think it can really benefit you also in the long run and kind of with your studies yourself but also just on a personal level I've always found it very interesting. Thank you. Fantastic advertisement for the program. Maybe one last question that I like to rephrase it. And not so much. What would you advise students because you are so enthusiastic I guess that you advise them to do it but maybe now rephrase the question in what type of student. Do you have to be in order to be capable of doing this. I think who's not overwhelmed by having a lot of different topics and a lot of different things to work on. And someone who's open minded someone who's open for discussions, definitely. There's one thing as the idea student which is why we have so many different departments such like a diverse mix of people and I think that's really what it lives for so I can't really advertise for this one idea student type. But it's really the community and the being together that being said, of course, I'm trying to make it look all really good and right now. Of course, it's going to be a lot of work and it's still an honest program. So it is not for everyone it is not. It is something that you should kind of see as a commitment that goes longer than. Oh, I'm just going to have you know a diploma in the end because you really can't go get far like that it really has to be coming from your own interest and. I think open mindedness is the biggest part because we're all going to be confronted no matter which study you're from I thought in the beginning like sociology oh that's going to be pretty much the same. As what we're already talking about a class but it really is not so as long as you're open to information that might not even be in your normal study. Do it. Thank you. Fantastic presentation. Thank you for having me and let me pick up the open mindedness I think that that goes for the lecturers as well. So you do not have one type of public it's a bit different from your from my ordinary courses as well and that is, yeah, that is the fun of it. Okay, thank you very much this was an introduction on honors program as we promised, and I hope that you see that honors program is an education focus on on the topic of migration. We are now connected to Timiko and Konirajka will tell more about Timiko as a researcher network. But I also see that there are very new initiatives and certainly so with the new strategic plan in mind I think that starts in the coming year. And also this this meeting today also is an invitation for you to come up with IDs or if you would like to join as a student on this program you can contact via via the website Karen bear code. If you would like to participate as a teacher do contact us it's it's open we are not very formally structured that really open in order to to work together. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you very much for this introduction we now focus a bit more on research and if you in the meanwhile and time have questions either about the honors program or later on, if, if the presentation starts or what I'm going to tell you, then please do. So thank you for joining us and I'm very happy that that I can introduce you. Well, for some it is an introduction to Timiko Timiko is the Tilburg migration community. And we have established this community in early 2020, and and we had our first kickoff event in February in 2020. So thank you for joining us and I'm very happy that that I can introduce you. Well, for some it is an introduction to Timiko Timiko is the Tilburg migration community. So thank you very much for joining us in early 2020. And, and we had our first kickoff event in February in 2020, and then just there after came Corona. And then to reconnect again and that was the aim actually of today with all the researchers, including the students from the honors program and other interested colleagues and persons, but unfortunately that event is organized the way it is organized now. So the Tilburg migration communities actually to to bring together the researchers at our university in the different schools, working on migration so sometimes you had. It was an event, then you, you met a colleague we didn't know from another school to find out that you work on very similar topics. So we with Timiko we aim actually to create a platform, a community where we have the possibility to meet each other to exchange our IDs. And then on the in the medium or long term also to work more closely together. Because migration actually is a topic that you that you look at from different lenses and with an interdisciplinary view actually so that is now also reflected very well I think in the honors program. So in the research, and I think for most of us working on migration research we have that interdisciplinary approach. Now, and so why then do we have to look at those different lenses well first of all migration is a topic that that manifests itself at different levels so you have on the international level with increased mobility. And with the globalization, a need for a more international approach, but also there is developments on regional level, for instance in the European Union but not limited to the European Union so we have for also in Western African community that is where we have that that is another level and then further down to the national level how does it actually how does migration migration law migration policy migration integration how does that work on the national level. So looking at it from the lens of the individual. Well, you have the three phases so the face before people are migrating but also during the migration and then after the migration of the pre and Perry and post migratory faces. So that can happen. And that you can look at isolated but of course, you should look at them more interconnected. And then there is different types of research. And that's, and we have different disciplines, we have different methodologies for doing the research qualitative quantitative normative research fundamental research, etc. So if we have the possibility to combine that here at our university within our till the migration community then I think we can enrich science, but we can also enrich ourselves. So, now the aim is of Timico is to have regular meetings, once every quarter once every half year so at least two times a year, where we invite, or, or one of our researchers wants to present his or her research, and where we then have a discussion. But it's also, maybe have our own website that has been established under the impact program because the Timico runs under the impact program, namely the pillar of a resilient society. So you can find our website and also all the members of our community so far. You can find them on the website of Timico under the impact program. So, if you are interested as the invitation that's a deal already gave also applies of course for Timico then please contact one of us, and then we connect you to, to the work of Timico. So we have a twice a year, we, at least twice a year we have meetings and then we try to facilitate the, the community and the communication and collaboration within our university. So, this is Timico. So, this is another Timico event, together with studio general as already was mentioned, and I'm very happy that we have two colleagues to scientists from different schools that are presenting. So, first of all, the first speaker that is Max spotty he's an ethnographer and an associate professor at the Tildex School of Humanities and Digital Science, and working amongst other other topics on the implications of the internet for the process of asylum seekers and that is also the topic we will be talking about this afternoon, practicing and the politics of suspicions. Then afterwards he will hand over to, to my colleague Mario Brackman who is professor at Silberg Law School. He's a psychologist and psychiatrist specialized in cultural psychiatry and ethnography work for many years as a psychiatrist and psychotherapist at the clinic for refugees with severe mental disorders. Afterwards, Christoph, my other colleague will come to stage to lead the discussion and for you, the audience, please feel free to write your questions your observations your points for discussion in, in the chat because I'm sure you will have some points. So without further ado, I hand over to, to Max, the floor is yours. Thank you very much. So, let me set up the timing first. Well, thank you for having me here to Miko people. Thank you for having me on this program people, and, and thank you to the people that are at home online, wherever you are but still online for listening to my story. So, a little bit about my background, couple of minutes. I am. Yeah, well, depending on where you go to, you're either a social linguist or a linguist anthropologist, if you go to the US, and if you go to the UK, or you tend to hang out in Europe. If you're a social linguist ethnographer, fundamentally, I'm very much interested into what do people do with their identities with their language and an ethnographer what does anographer do is interested in writing about people and documenting people's life. And in this case, the documentation of people lives was about what does it mean to be an asylum seeker in times of globalization. What does it mean to be an asylum seekers in times of digitalization that was my driving inquiry my driving my large focus. I said I should start with the time by the way, otherwise I'll carry on talking too much. So, I'll share with you guys my presentation, which goes back. The presentation is called trapped into the matrix of narrative in mobility language identities and the internet in asylum seeking case. Now, the story to make a long story short fundamentally the four as anthropologists do trying to make the strange familiar or the familiar strange depends on your positionality. I've been living for a period of time in asylum seeking center in asylum seeking center in East Flanders.  No, not at all. Are you then a refugee.   And the answer was I'm somebody as you should be open about your anthropologist doings. I'm somebody very much intrigued about your lives about your doings in globalization in digitalization, and in this socio cultural space. So, without any further postponing, let's go to the presentation. What types of diversity do we meet in our daily lives in the news on sociological platforms or in the streets, we do meet plenty of diversity we meet the successful diversity that we may encounter in this university that when we encounter in in companies so successful diversity at work. We encounter accepted exotic diversity in exotic events like this one. But we also we, we encounter more and more as you were mentioning before that diversity is something that is making people scared, making nation states scared. And so there is a form of securitized diversity in which all of a sudden we see the emergence of borders, borders that are both controlled securitized tangible, but also times untangible. Another form of diversity therefore that comes that follows with securitized diversity is immobilized diversity. The sort of diversity that Europe in as much as other continents don't seem to want on their territory, or let's not be so drastic. They maybe want this diversity, but first they need to check that this is the good type of diversity that can be allowed to pass the borders and to enter their, their soil. So, I, when I was entering an asylum seeking center, it was an asylum seeking center from the Red Cross, and not a federal asylum seeking center. If you understand for myself from an anthropological point of view, what is actually an asylum seeking center, it's a space through power kind of space is that well it's a it's a place first of all, where globalization and I should add that digitalization are key. There, local happenings are shaped by events happening many miles away. What you see the, the population, leaving the, the guest, as they're called in the jargon of the asylum seeking center, living in asylum seeking centers are a reflection of political events or war of conflicts that are going on, and of suppression that is going on many miles away. So, what, what is actually who is the migrant nowadays in a global digitalized super diverse time. It's a person who is mobile, and who can be made immobile by institutions, but he's also an acquired life is opposition is a, is a person with a mobile phone, so we have mobile people but they're also people with a mobile. This was one of the things that I realized as soon as I enter the center is a channel for transnational activities, activities back home activities that may mean the simple sending of remittances back home or receiving money, but also activities that can be looking after your own family, and now political actions, telling people home how you are doing, and giving them tips about how to start their moves from the rest to the West, so to say. So, once you enter an asylum seeking center you have is glossed over term migrants, but what is a migrant and what are the trajectories time wise, you can have long term migrants that are there in the asylum seeking center for two years or more short term, or a new real live migrant transitory because once they filed their application that might go into illegality, high skill migrant low skill migrant highly schooled. Anyway, what is common to all of them is that there are complex trajectories of migration, not anymore, as I said before moving from the rest to the West, but moving from point A to point from point A to point B, back to point A, in order to move to point C, whatever is mostly favorable, favorable to to file a or to try to start a new life. Another character, another few characteristics that are key, and that you emerge from an asylum seeking center is that the people that are confronted with a high integration pressure from institutions, but they're also confronted with a high institutional power in the informal economic texture of those society. Migrants home backgrounds in terms of legal in terms of social linguistic cultural ethnic religious backgrounds are not presupposable, as we should afford that they were before globalization and digitalization. What you have sort of named this asylum seeking center is the waiting room of globalization, the waiting room of globalization in which sense. You are waiting for your destiny to take place. Yeah, I don't know if you guys are acquainted with Goddard attendant Goddard, and there is this people waiting for Goddard to show up and give them a finally away where to go toward their future but that's exactly the same thing that you see in a way in, in a in an asylum seeking center, people wait. People wait for institutions to make a decision. People wait for lawyers to write them a letter. People wait from the migration authorities to receive a letter back that approves or disapproves their stay. They don't fundamentally do a lot, but they also do a lot of waiting, and that waiting seems a passive thing, if you want to describe it in that way, but it's absolutely not so. The first second of this of this study at the asylum seeking center we had we had 61 guests 40 females and 21 males or which 11 were minors without parents or foster carvers. Five enter the center in 2011 by now this data are rather old but it's the principle that we are focusing on that are interesting. In 2010, I collected this data in 2012, only two guests were born in the 50s. So, in the words of a director of the asylum seeking center is asylum seeking center is hosting people that are trying their luck in Europe. They move to Europe other because of the political conditions in their own country, or because of health reasons or because of gender discriminations reasons. One of the big things that happens in the center in this waiting room of globalization of course is the fact that there is a continuous issue of identity construction, which is my obsession, so to say, research wise. I am intrigued by how identity are constructed by institutions. I'm intrigued about how, how identities are constructed discursively by human beings. I'm intrigued about the process of identity construction in what a term power saturated environment like this one, but also like the environment in which somebody is telling their life stories to officials police officials immigration offices and so forth. So that's my case with this very interesting quote, at least in my in my view which I present to my students quite often at 845 in the morning on Monday morning and they hate me for that on identity. You are who you are partly because of what you do, and partly because what you do is recognize for what it is by yourself and the others who are doing it. I'm from my old time here or James G from discourse studies, and I've reiterated and reappropriated in my, in my work in 2007 about developing identities, where I call them informal theories of mind, or discursive parameters for the construction of identity. The point. The applicants on identity claims is assessed against the presupposed truth. The reason you're considering your asylum seeking claim is assessed on the basis of knowledge of facts of things that you should know because you claim to come in to becoming from a, from a given state from a given city from a given socio cultural group, and on the basis of someone's my micro behavior. The Western is this emphasizes the Western institutional paranoia of belonging. We need to place you somewhere, and we will try to place you there on the basis of what we're mostly acquainted with an equation between one language, one territory, one grouping of people. Very much the institutions are very much switched on to this equation of one language one territory one group of people in which you should be able to fit in. You should be indigenous indigenous of a place that you can that you claim to be coming from so the identity of the applicant is registered and I will open up this funny term in a moment in a legal discourse where the notion of truth is central for the acceptance of the applicants claim. The story that the forum about to present you guys is a story that I define as ergoic taken from Latin Ergo, the therefore you came you claim to come from place X ago, you should know some facts, you should know some issues that I play, you should know the politics of the place, even though maybe you've been belonging to the people that had to flee away, or you've been belonging to the people that were in charge and all of a sudden there was a coup d'etat, and you had to move away and go for a zallium for instance in Europe. I'm taking you guys now to Conakry, or better to Guinea Conakry, and in particular we will go down to Conakry. And I want you guys to take a look at the city of Conakry, but in particular at this area here on the on the map, which is the area that will be mostly relevant for the story that we're about to hear from the asylum seeking applicant that I will introduce to you in a moment. Right, our protagonist of this story because fundamentally what we're doing right now is not just a presentation, I'm narrating the life story of somebody who has been filing for the zallium. So, this person that I am narrating and giving voice to, we will call him BK. He claims to be younger than 18 years old at the time of coming to Belgium, Flanders, he's a Muslim, he claims to be coming from Guinea Conakry, he claims to come from actually the capital city of Guinea Conakry that is Conakry. So the father is from the Malinka ethno-linguistic group, the mother is from the pearl ethno-linguistic group. Authorities decided by surprisingly in my sociolinguistic view to assign him as the mother tongue, the Malinka mother tongue, which is actually the language of the father. So there is a bit of a contradiction, sociolinguistic contradiction there, that your mother tongue all of a sudden is the language of the father. Therefore, there is another nice lovely intricacy there going on. The arbitrary assigned language for the procedure and for the interview and therefore for the conversation that he has been having with the officers, immigration officers was French. French is of course present in Guinea Conakry, yet again, we are talking of an allegedly 18-year-old man who is barely schooled, who can barely read and write, who has a knowledge of French, and that he recognizes French and he can utter things in French, but he has never been schooled in French. The only schooling that he has received is Quranic schooling. Therefore, he is highly proficient in classical Arabic, he knows the Quran by heart, however, that's as far as it goes. But that's an interesting and relevant thing. Furthermore, visit an interview taking place in Flanders, whereas you know in Flanders, French is not really the language that he mostly widely used. So the interviewer is going to have his own Belgian accented, Flemish variety of French during this interview, that really gets a bit tricky in order to do meaning making. Like being indigenous, so claim that you're coming from a given place, in order to do so, one needs to know the facts about a country, one needs to know the language of the country, one needs to know enough information in order to keep things real. And here we go back to these westernized ideologies of territory, language, and naming more things that come into play, and here I'm referring to the work of Sue Gal, and the work of Gal and Irvine from the linguistic anthropological perspective. And then before I use this concept and regiment and regiment is taken spray from the work of Asif Agha, who uses this notion in linguistic anthropology, and he's a process that he defines as follows, as follows, a process in which semiotic forms of expression, verbal and nonverbal are linked with an ideological institutional frame. This linkage interns puts someone's identity in a certain space within a certain institutional frame of true false narrativity. In other words, there are matrices that are matrices of narrativity that institutions are respecting from the candidate who's applying for asylum seeking. Hence, the candidate who's telling a story, the candidate who's writing a story, the candidate who's, who's giving proof of identity, needs to match this register needs to match this matrix in order to be considered truthful in his claims. I will need about an hour to explain a register maintain say doubt but I'll go with a, you know, short and sweet slide. In other words, to keep you real, you need to know, as I was trying to say before the right register that is you need to espouse the right cultural model, the links forms of semiotic expression to types of identity contacts. And here we go. This is the letter that BK received while I was doing my fieldwork at the asylum seeking center. It's a letter written up, typed up actually in French is from a social linguistic sorry from a linguistic anthropological perspective, this is an artifact. It's a product of narrativity. This is the letter that is basically telling to BK. I'm terribly sorry my friend, you have to go home. We cannot allow you to stay here in Belgium planters. This letter was written up in French is the summary. So to say, is a textual artifact is a summary of the interview that has taken place between the migration authority. And the general commissioner for migration in Belgium, and BK. It's a very interesting artifact from an anthropological society with the point of view, because it narrates again a story from the matrix of the authority. It recaps a little bit. Let's go back to what happened to BK. BK came on the 7th of February 2012. The father was a Malinka the mother is, is a pearl, the family of the parents that they wanted to have them separated because of ethnic differences. In December, December 15th of January, all sorts of things happen until the father was murdered by the by the family of his mother. And from there, there is the starting of the many, many, these adventures misfortune of BK, the brought him to flee away from Conakry. And the other is that, and in this slide, which is the second part of the letter, the authorities do point out in French, what are the things that make him result as not truthful. So where did he go from where did BK, not managed to match the matrix, the matrix that the authorities wanted to receive any story. There are a lot of things, but I would like also to draw your attention on this line, which is a line in which they talk about the big, the big mosque, the ground mosque, Faisal de Conakry, which in the interview, I didn't have access to the actual live access to this artifact and to have a chat with BK and with BK roommates that read out this letter to him because he couldn't read the letter himself so this letter has been read out to him. And this idea of La Grand Mosque, and bear in mind this idea of La Grand Mosque and this name La Grand Mosque because it's not the official name of the mosque, right. The official name of the mosque that was retrieved by the by the immigration officer is the Mosque Faisal, which by the way, it was retrieved by the officers from the internet. So please do pay to the food to La Mosque Faisal, please do pay to food.com pay to food. If you know it's a website for tourists. And it's used in order to give some exotic information about the for for those exotic tourists that want to go off to Guinea Conakry and visit Guinea Conakry. And therefore, the immigration officers themselves have been using not official indigenous sources, but sources that they can drive from the internet and they support their own understanding of things to recap and conclude, following the previous text BK in that text didn't know a few things. The name of the four areas that make up La Commune. The name of the areas that make up the city was happy to call it la ville. The name of the mosque, La Grande Mosque, the name of the bottle water most sold in Guinea. The name of the money used in Guinea, it was happy to call it large on. Remember, all this happened in French, and it was not, you know, the name of the football team in Guinea, which is something that a boy of his age, should know of course, accordingly to the authority. The name of any Guinea and TV channel it was happy to call it la TV. The name of the market where he went with his father, Lumache, according to BK. Now, discrepancy of registers. If I was taking instead of the mosque of Faisal, I was taking these other monuments, right. The college in which you also know, and I was being interviewed by a police officer who was trying to claim whether I'm really from the place that I'm indigenously from Italy. Then I would have a bit of a difficulty because I call this place equal of sale. Okay.  Here we go. This is the way in which you can actually name the Coliseum. The Latin name is amphitheater in Flavio. The Italian official name is amphitheater Flavio in standard Italian. And it's the Colosseum in Roman variety of Italian is air Colosseum and tourist quite happily call it the Coliseum. In anthropology what you do, you go off and do a tertium comparazione so you compare your findings in the asylum seeking centers with other people that were present in the asylum seeking centers so I interviewed other people from Guinea Conakry and asked them, look guys, how about this mosque? How do you call it? All of them agreed that the common name for this people for this mosque was La Grande Mosque. That's as far as he goes. None of them could actually recite because it's a matter of reciting the story, the exact official name that by the way the authorities had found on petit food, which is an tourist website for naming this mosque. Here we go back, register discrepancy, register discrepancy, the discrepancy of a narrative matrix, the discrepancy of naming things and how somebody name things right. Thank you very much, and I will conclude it here. Thank you. Thank you, Massim Miano for your very interesting talk. I hope we have some time to discuss it so I'll hurry up because we are. We don't have much time anymore but I'll try to stick to 20 minutes and let's see. Thanks for inviting me. My name is again, Marie Brachmann and indeed I'm a psychiatrist that is someone who studied medicine for six years, get this master and then decides to study five more years to become a psychiatrist. But that wasn't enough for me I created my own honors program by studying anthropology as well and I did field work and I finished my master as well in anthropology and that creates a kind of a schizophrenic professional identity I'm afraid because very often I do things as a psychiatrist that the anthropologist in me says well, don't do that. And so it's quite busy inside my head but I still feel very healthy. And I want to do. Well, I was asked to give some reflections on migration and asylum seekers and I work with asylum seekers for about 25 years that that are my main patient group and nowadays I redirect my attention to what we call illegal migrants but people are not illegal so I prefer the name undocumented on a short people who stay in the friends of the Netherlands and hide and so my whole career I'm busy with asylum seekers refugees and I have some reflections I want to make as an, not as an anthropologist but as a psychiatrist and as you might know, in psychiatry we have a kind of holistic view that we look at the bio psychosocial world. So we take three perspectives at the same time. And that's the way we look at our patients and from every perspective I want to give you a small reflection and a quick idea I do it is about by a lot biology I focus on ethnicity and pharmaceuticals. And the social aspect, I focus on acculturation and psychological thing is all about cultural identity that just three examples of very complex working area. But let's start with something positive. And, of course, when migrants are in the news, especially asylum seekers, then. It's all about culture shock forced migration war and trauma and post traumatic stress disorder mood disorders anxiety etc etc and that's all true. We have a group of people with very severe problems and it's very tough for them but let me first start with stressing also the other side and that is.  The second one is in puberty. When you have another separation phase from your from your family, and some an actor tells us that refugees migrants in general have a third individuation phase. We have a third separation and in this sense from the culture of origin. And that third individuation phase is something very interesting and very positive that is not something that can be achieved by non migrants and anthropologists try it by doing some fieldwork and we get cultural relativistic stands more or less and migrants have a special extra thing that most people who do not migrate don't have. And how many non migrants are in the world that's the other thing I want to stress. Why chromosome my DNA I send it to a laboratory and they have geneticists who can tell me how the father of my father of father of mine migrated across the globe and of course it started all in Africa itself. And that's the red point there and it started about 200,000 years ago and for 100,000 years, people migrated through Africa, and after 1000 year 100,000 years, a few of them thought well let's go to Saudi Arabia and see how life is over there and that just a few hundred people who migrated to Saudi Arabia and from there, they migrated through Europe, Asia, North and 1000 America, Australia, etc. Why is this important, this is my first perspective to biological one. It's important because during that migration process. There are a lot of genetic differences who occur and they are important because enzymes in our body, especially in the liver, they vary between ethnic groups, they are not the same. And why is that important because due to migration, non Western populations are confronted exposed to Western pharmaceutical products builds medicines and all available medicines in pharmacies in the Netherlands in Europe or in the United States. All those products that can be obtained by prescription only by a doctor, all those products are tested among white Western populations. So we do not know how these medicine behave in people who come from other parts of the world. And from the few studies we do have, and I know all of them, I guess, we know that there can be huge differences in effect that can be huge differences inside effects. And even I think that people could die because of doctors not knowing what they really are doing with someone else's body or mind in prescribing certain medicines and what we did here is we did a study and assembled all several studies in the metabolism of drugs and this is a system called to see 19 and what what what you what can be shown here is that you know the lever gets rid of your medicines that are entering your body and that's good because medicines are kind of toxic substance and they need to leave the body again. So this system to see 19 gets rid of a lot of medicines in your body. However, they do that on a certain normal rate and not too fast not too slow. However, if you look worldwide and you see that there are huge differences across populations in the world. And if you look at the top it's difficult to see but that's India over there and Pakistan up to 80% of the population there are normal metabolizers so they do get rid of those drugs in a non normal way so they are deviant in one way or another. And that's very peculiar because normally what is deviant is a minority of patients in this case. 80% of the patients that's a majority and so the majority of people in India they metabolize medicine in a very different way in that body. And we should know all these kinds of things and there is a lot to know about but I'm not going to explain everything today that's due to time limits. So I'm going to switch to the second the social level and this as a psychiatrist treating people from other countries, other cultures. This helps me a lot. This little matrix. This is a very good way to integrate can follow four main strategies of acculturation they can become a alienated acculturated remain in the traditional sense by not adopting the culture in which they migrate to but they remain in that and recreate that in the Western world, what it can become by cultural, in which they have their own culture of origin and adopt more or less the Western culture and this is very helpful in trying to understand people. There's psychiatric problems and you need a kind of socio cultural context social context to to understand them better, even certain criminal acts can be explained by this schedule and it's it's only it consists only of two dimensions that is, do you keep your culture of origin, or do you get rid of it. What do you do you do you do you do with the Western culture do you accept it in this case the Dutch culture, or do you not accept it that can lead to separation nationalization integrations etc. So this is a very helpful scheme. And going to the psychological level of identity is it's completely different from medicines or social context but it's also related to everything and to go from the social to the psychological, let me give you a small personal background, I was raised in three languages, German, Dutch, and my own native language and that's ripararian, and the ripararian is a language that not many people know about, but it's a Dutch language. And as you can see here on the bottom right you see five colors, and those are the five different colors of the Limburg languages that are spoken of five of them. However, if you look at the South Limburg you see in the in the East, a small part, which is white, and that part is on this overview to the left has another color and it's this violet kind of color and it's the ripararian area and it's spoken in Kerkraden, Vals, and Bohols, and that's where I'm from. So, if we look at the cultural identity, let me first say that it is very important for my patients and for me as a psychiatrist who tries to assess what what's going on with them and what is their problem, and how to solve it it's crucial to have an idea of identity and cultural identity, especially but it's very difficult to get hold on because it is not something that is fixed, it is fluid. And let me take myself as an example again, if the Dutch soccer team plays against Germany, then I feel Dutch. But if Ajax plays again plays against the team out of Limburg, then I feel that I belong to Limburg. But if Venlo plays against Maastricht, then I feel South Limburg. And when MVV from Maastricht plays against Rode Jezee, which is in the east of South Limburg, and that's remind, it's the ripararian area. Then I feel very much ripararian, but only then. And so, I mean, by identity, cultural identity, it's fluent, and it's not a property of a person. It took me a while to discover that. But it's, it's, it tells us something about relationships between me and other persons. Often, as Masemianou showed as well. We often think that identity and knowledge about local knowledge is is location and space and time bound, but increasingly, the world shows us that it's not any more location or time bound and we are entering a new era in which questions about identity become more confused, but I cannot explain it in total now but I can only finish due to time restraints with my last attention I have and that's what I would like to call cultural empathy and empathy is something a psychiatrist and a psychologist needs to understand another person is patient. It becomes very tough. If that patient comes from another culture, because in that case we also have to bridge to different cultures. And that's quite tough we do that on the left side with what I call perspective production we have methods to reconstruct the cultural context of a patient and of the complaints he or she has. That very interesting techniques so you will have to master in order to be able to to reconstruct the culture as far as necessary for a psychiatrist to make a good diagnosis and treatment plan. However, that's only half of it. In the right corner you see that there are there is also something we call. I would call perspective suppression. It sounds negative, but we as medical doctors we also have our professional and personal cultural backgrounds and we have our authentic reflexes and if we do not get rid of them. We will never be able to understand another person so we'll have to take quite extreme relativistic stands in order to discover that our own professional or personal ideas are just ideas and that we need to. To suppress them every now and then to be able to come to a real understanding with your patient and. For now. That's some reflections from my path. Thank you very much for your attention. Okay. Okay, so first of all, many thanks for. Okay, we're still on this one. Nice. So, hi everyone there now I'm also on the screen. So thank you first of all for these interesting presentations they were already quite some questions in the chat so I will start with that I also wrote down some questions I have but we will see also for the sake of time if we managed to tackle them as well and if not, maybe you have some time afterwards. So first of all, there was a comment for for Max from CK. That was the name on Zoom. Probably. So she indicates that you provide a very interesting example of how people use mental informal institutional matrices, but can you elaborate how this connects with confirmation bias, particularly during an interview. Yes, sure. One thing I do have to say is that I was not there present of interview because nobody can have access to the interview. I mean, even if I would have written a letter to a prime minister of Belgium, I wouldn't have been able to access that. So, what I do know, however, what I did have access to, however, were the files of BK. It was informed about the fact that I was having access to these files. And these was the one that I presented was the main textual artifact, which resumed which which summarizes in a way the how the interviews went. So I had to base myself on, well, not on BK telling me about how it went with the interview, because they don't want to be interviewed about it. So I had to base myself on a textual artifact and all the other documents that I encountered. So I do not know what actually happened at that very moment in time in the interview between the office, the migration officer, and the applicants so BK. So, though, is that that interview took place in French. And as I tried to explain before there were two different varieties of French being involved there. I assume, rather heavily accented West Flemish variety of French, and I'm a rather heavily accented Conakry's variety of French. So that's something that I can say. Yes, in the meantime, I also got one and following up on that. When such language issues occurs. Would it be an option or what could be the role of a person in between right translator. Would that introduce some extra bias in there or that seems to be there seems to be a blessing on the one hand because of which you will think. The applicant would be able to express himself or herself in the language he or she feels most confident with. But once I've been doing a mapping of the linguistic repertoire of BK. One of the things that the interesting thing that came up was that it wasn't ever so confident in Malinka as they attributed him to be the mother tongue.  But the language that was mostly confident with was Sosa and Sosa belongs to the Malinka's language language family, and he's a language that is purely and solely used for transactional purposes. And me and you would use when I'm buying fish and vegetables from you from a market, and that also triggered in my head an idea of Hang on a Moment BK was not born and bred in Conakry. He was coming from somewhere else and then he moved to Conakry to get a job and so forth and maybe all of his family moved to Conakry. That was just a social linguistic supposition of mine. He was getting to know BK's roommate that was also from Conakry, explained all sorts of things to me in terms of their social linguistic background. In terms of a fact that the two families knew one another because of an encounter that they had on Skype or channels where the BK's roommate had been meeting BK's mother, who made sure that he was doing his preaching, Quranic preaching every day. Otherwise it would have been a bad boy and so forth and then there is an old chapter, linguistic anthropological chapter about the linguistic background of these two characters and how they influence my understanding of what has been going on in that interview. So going back to point one, even if you would have had an interpreter there, it would have been rather difficult to know that he was mostly proficient in SOSA. And then the interpretation might have happened in Malink, but Malink was the language of a father. So which interpretation would have we been having. So there is a lot of language barriers going on there. Thank you. And maybe one thing that came up in the chat of course is that there have been some criticisms on various model and one of the things that was kind of funny in the to see is that the figure that you showed made this opposition between traditional Western, which Michael Bender in the chat indicates that generally now today we talk more about cultural maintenance and cultural adoption so that there is a difference there. But what I was wondering is whether you could elaborate a bit on if we connect both presentations and your ideas that asylum seekers are in the waiting room of globalization. What is that doing with with asylum seekers from a psychiatric perspective. What is the impact of being in that waiting room. I know from certain studies that if you stay two years in that waiting room that psychopathology doubles. It means that people arrive about 20% have depressive disorder and about 20% have post traumatic stress disorder. If they wait two years in that room with uncertainty, then it's 40% depressive disorder and 40% post traumatic stress disorder we are not yet sure about the casual casual link, but we all know that it's very likely that it's due to the fact that they are waiting for permission to stay. What it does, in addition to that is it causes an extreme form of paranoia. However, it is a survival mechanism, it's not pathological paranoia, but it's kind of a healthy way to be very much aware of what are people doing to me. They said okay here, they are vigilant, and if an inexperienced psychiatrist see a patient like that, he will think that he is psychotic he has a delusion he's paranoid, but he's not. It's very difficult to make a good differentiation between someone who is paranoid in the sense that he has severe form of psychopathology or he or she is paranoid in the sense of a healthy way of surviving. Especially in asylum seekers that's very difficult and that paranoia increases because people are in that waiting room and they cannot feel secure. So in my clinic the first thing we do is try to make people feel a little bit secure and we have several techniques of doing that, but that's just two of the things that is happening with patients. And are these issues that are taking also into account by the authorities in the sense that I can imagine while people arrive they have post-traumatic stress disorder they might that might also lead to not recalling certain passages in their personal history. Once they get to psychiatrist is that something that is also submitted some reports to the authorities that they take into account during the asylum procedure or is that a separate track. It is a separate track but there are lines between those tracks as a medical doctor who I am not allowed to declare anything about my own patients. I can tell a third doctor what my diagnosis is or what my treatment is if my patient agrees that I give that information but besides that I'm not allowed to tell anything. So how severe someone's suicidal thoughts are. It's not allowed for me to say anything about that. If a certain psychotherapy is available in Congo, I'm not allowed to tell whether it is available or not that are a separate circuit of doctors is doing that. And so there is a clear division line between that but there are a lot of borderline fights between doctors and lawyers about that. Because a lot of lawyers try to persuade doctors to tell a lot of other things as well and a lot of doctors who don't know what their limitations are. They do that and the lawyers can use that in court. And however, the doctors are doing things that they are not allowed to do. That's one of the many fights in that situation. Besides that lawyers, they have only article 64, no, yeah, 64 from the Vreemdeling event. And that law is, is just, you know, if you break a leg and you cannot walk to the plane in a hip hole then the Dutch government says okay it's okay if you first let that leg heal for about six weeks and then we deport you. And that article is used by a lot of lawyers to try to get their clients permission to stay. And for a doctor, it's terrible because as long as someone is ill, he's allowed to stay. But as soon as he's better, he has to have to go. So that is for a doctor an impossible situation, but for a lawyer is the only thing they have. Okay, very interesting. I guess there's also some questions in the chat but I just wanted to ask one or no questions in the chat. Yeah, I don't have an overview but can I ask one more question. I was intrigued by your, by your ideas about migrants going through a third individuation. And I was wondering, do we see differences in these individuals 13 individuation processes depending on the type of migrants because you talk for example about the typical first individuation when people young children start to realize okay. I'm a person myself and but so because refugees and asylum seekers they go through quite different processes compared to let's say highly skilled migrants or international students. They all go through different through that third individuation process but aren't the outcomes or do we know anything, whether the outcomes are different, or whether there's more friction in these processes, according to the type of migrants that just scientific curiosity. You're right. There are a lot of different scenarios and possibilities and also among among economic migrants and but also there you see big difference between people who came from Turkey and from Morocco for instance if you look at the first generation Turkish women, they often, not often but there's a large group who recreates a kind of touch Turkish community, and they don't learn Dutch, they go to the Turkish supermarket and they have Turkish friends, and they, they, they rebuild a new kind of Turkish community in inside the city. And that's completely different from Moroccan women, not everyone of course because otherwise it would be stereotyping but they engage much more in Dutch society and become by cultural. And with a lot of advantages and the the individuation phase in that instance is is much bigger has more impact because they are much more confronted with two different kinds of cultures and while some Turkish women try to isolate themselves and to try to stick to a newly reconstructed traditional cultural issue but I'm not allowed I guess to use the word traditional. Okay, let's go over to you, you have a question as well. To combine what you're, you're, you're both your research is because if I would sort of explain what Max is doing, doing and I'm bit, bit superficial making it more superficial than it is but the point very much is that there is a sort of that Babylonic confusion about who is supposed, or what language are you using as the, the, the office, the officer let's say and the one who is arriving, and there's a lot of confusion in between what type of language should we use. And in your case, I think Mario, it's the same but even more difficult so when someone you mentioned somewhere from the Congo or something, who is who has difficulties in making a life or getting a life of behavior he's he has from traumatic stress. What, what language then is used or, or do you experience the same type of confusion in language and if someone has a problem. How do you cope with that as a doctor. Yeah. Yeah.  I cannot do without professional translates translators but even because you never can use a 12 year old child and talk about the traumas of her mother with her as an interpreter that's impossible. And you never get an idea of how suicidal someone is if you make use of acquaintances, people like that so you need a professional translator. And if you have that, and I had once I learned a lot from West African patients because, you know, one of the first questions you asked is what what is your mother tongue. And very often the mother, the name of the mother tongue is also the name of the ethnic group to someone belongs but not always and in this case we have a big problem. And I noticed that my question, what is your mother tongue was translated by the interpreter into the question what is the language of your mother, which is something different as we saw in your example and so from that moment on I realized that I, I always I never asked what is your mother tongue but I always asked what is the first language that you learn to speak and talk in your, in your life and then you can avoid things like that but that language is so important for us and even if you use a good interpreter, you can teach him a lot of things more that you because they must translate in a different way for a psychiatrist and they translate for a surgeon. That's one thing but there is always things that get lost. If I ask, are you married in Dutch, it's true loyalty. In Spanish is that's cassara by your own opponent, are you below a roof, are you a house, it has another connotation and in my, the language, the Indian language I learned to kind of bill is, are you married to kind of bill, that's you could take Maya, but literally, the question kind of bill is, is your way accomplished, your way of life has that been accomplished, and that is another expression of are you married so there are three different types of, and they all mean the same, you translated the same way, but they mean different things and that's something that always get lost, because you cannot translate the context you can only translate words, I don't know. I'm lost in translation. Totally. What can I say, what I can say is also the fact that, well mind you this case took place about 10 years ago by now, and there are some other cases of that kind. And some people have been telling me why, why was this case not, not sorted out with the use of artificial intelligence and automated translation, you know, someone speaks in Google and the other one Google translator, for instance, and the other one listens back to be answering the language the way which, and then we go back again to point one what you were mentioning. The values and the attached to a given language, the political values attached to a given language, the economic prestige attached to a given language, but also the world view, even though you know almost jumping into a superior world hypothesis which I don't want to do. They are very relevant in this translation cases. Yeah. I think we need to round up here because it's five o'clock, the end of this session. But first of all, again, thanks for the speakers today also including Lena also for presenting the others program thanks again also for the organization and to all the people that are attending online. You will hear from us soon from Timiko about a next date and the next event that we will organize hopefully next time. No fifth COVID wave but that we can do that on campus. Enjoy your evening everyone.


Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. I want to go over with you guys some stuff that happened today on PeeF Ultimate Team. A little market talk video for your Saturday. First of all, good luck on your weekend leagues if you're playing foot champions for the team of the season rewards. And obviously this next week's rewards will come out on the 18th of July. And that is going to be after this new batch two of players is going to be released in packs. So I want to make note of that to you guys today. When you're playing weakling this weekend, make sure that you realize that probably it's going to be good to try to push for a higher rank if you can, if you want to, if that's something you want to do to get the better packs and the better rewards because there's going to be that second batch of players in packs when you open your rewards on Thursday. And we'll talk a little bit about that second batch of players at the end of the video. But first, I want to focus on what happened today in FIFA Ultimate Team. We got a couple of SBCs. Obviously the Footies, wait, that's not the one I was going to look at. The Footies winner, Aerial Threat. This was the SBC that we got today, the Parasich SBC. 5 star, 4 star. I think most people thought he was going to be the winner. There was a select few out there that I thought, that I thought Poulsen was going to win. But this card looks great. Now, it seems like they're going one on and one off with these Footies SBCs. It really does to be honest because we got, well, you know, maybe not one on one off. This is the third Footies SBC that we've gotten. But it seems like they're going back and forth with SBCs that they keep putting out. The first Footies SBC we got with Lazano. Very cheap, very affordable. It was so cheap. The next one we got with Fred. Decent value for the card but a bit overpriced. That's kind of how I feel about this one as well. If we go look at the active challenges on Footbin right now. This Aerial Threat Footies winner, Parasich is at 438,000 coins. That's what this card is going to cost you right now on the market. And his 90 rated Foot Birthday SBC would have cost you about the same. So if you look at it that way, that's decent value for that. But it's a huge drop to his 88 rated Europa League Man of the Match card at 29 or 30,000 coins. That's a huge, huge drop and the stat boost is nice. It's a very, very good card, well-rounded, great stats. But at this point in the game, I'm not entirely sure if he's a game breaker. I mean, he might be a super sub. Some teams he's going to get in but it doesn't seem like he's going to be super duper meta or anything super insane. Do with it what you will. 386 rated squads is what it requires, I believe. 286 is in an 85 with some team of the week players involved there as well. So I wanted to talk about that card then. A couple of market movements along with it. There's always going to be stuff that rises with these Footies SBCs. Now you kind of have to look at each SBC for the way it is. Now obviously the easy, if you think about the people, what I mean by that is if you think about the people who are going to do this pair of such SBC are probably people that have a lot of coins and just want a card collect and have cool cards in the club. Well, if you're going to get a card like that in your club, who are you going to put with him? You're probably going to get this Tots 9 goaling card to link with him, right? You know, it would just make sense if you have enough coins to do that pair of such SBC as it is a bit overpriced. This is a very logical card to link him with. This card did go up to the decent amount. It's 1.3 on PS. It went from about a million coins on Xbox up about over 150,000 coins increase in price today. If you look on the hourly graph as well, he's been closer to 1.2 at one point in the day. He went up to 1.2 right away, kind of sell around 1.6, 1.7 where he is now. But there's always going to be investments like this that you can make. Now tomorrow, or actually today when this video goes live, we're going to be getting another SBC. It's going to be either Draxler. It's going to be Shaqiri or Kovacic. I think those are the three. Now, out of those three, there's two Premier League players in there. But I've heard a ton of people that have voted for Draxler. And I'm honestly thinking that you might see Draxler win tomorrow. Other than that, I think maybe Shaqiri would win. I don't know. This is kind of a tough one to tell. That's why I don't think I'm going to invest for it. But if it's an SBC that you see drop right away, and this is something that you can get good at for when FIFA 20 comes out and for when SBCs come out on FIFA 20, right at the 6 p.m. UK drop tomorrow on the content drop, head over to the live tab section, see who the player is. Let's say that it is Shaqiri. That card is going to have some hype around it. You're going to have to think right away what card is going to link with Shaqiri. Then what you're going to want to do is don't go and buy those links right away. Go into the SBC. Make sure you see the price. If they see that Shaqiri card tomorrow, let's say they boost him up bigger than life. Let's say they give him an incredible card. We're just basically saying that Shaqiri is going to win. This is totally just prospecting and just... This is not guaranteed. Let's say Shaqiri wins, right? Let's say they give him plus 10. They boost up his card crazy high. They make the SBC affordable. That's the huge thing. If they make the SBC affordable or they have good packs back, that's easy to see when you're looking through here. Let's say you open up the Shaqiri SBC. It costs you an 84-rated squad, an 85-rated squad, and an 83-rated squad with two in-forms. They gave him a plus 10 boost. He's got a 4-star weak foot, 5-star skills. He's Liverpool, right wing in the prem. That's going to be a card that a ton of people do. Let's say that one of the packs back, you get a 50k pack. Everybody's going to go flock and do that squad. It's going to cost you 250, 300,000 coins. And so many people are going to do that, right? This is, again, pure speculation. But you log in and you see that. That's when you know, hey, I can go buy some link investments to this because there's going to be some stuff that goes up with the link investments. Perfect example A of this was Kante with the Javi... I keep saying Javi Alonso. Marcus Alonso. The SBC that came out earlier this week. This Informed Kante was 170,000 coins. I bought this Informed for 170,000 coins right after the SBC came out. And I sold a couple of them. I sold one for 217 and another one for 210. So this card went up a lot in price. Just because it had that link and that SBC was very popular and a ton of people did it. Whatever card comes out tomorrow, if that is the same case, again, affordable, good packs back and a big boost, very popular card. Then I think people would go out and do that SBC and then you would see some links rise. So again, links for Shaqiri. Look at like a Tatz wine album. That would be a good link because you're going to have a right wing to a center mid. Maybe some variation of Roberto Firmino getting a link to a center attacking mid or you can move Firmino to center mid or Firmino at striker. Stuff like that. Links to Liverpool players. There's not any other Switzerland players in the prem that are used a lot. So the Liverpool links would be your best bet there. Trent Alexander-Arnold right back. The FFS, the team of the season. Looking at stuff like that. That's again, just saying if Shaqiri won, now if Draxler won, you could look at some PSG cards. Maybe someone's out of the ordinary like a Cavani would go up because you could get that Draxler at center attacking mid because that card would be probably pretty dope. Get a good boost as well. And then maybe some center backs from PSG. Linking him to some center backs and some right backs or left back. Stuff like that. So that's again one way that you can maybe trade around these new SBCs that do come out today on a FIFA Ultimate team, whether it's the Draxler, whether it's the Shaqiri, or whether it is the Kovacic. Two Chelsea players. That would be pretty sick. I think a lot of people would match up that Kovacic with the Alonzo and the Dava Louise. You could have like a Chelsea trio if Kovacic won tomorrow. But again, the last thing that I wanted to get into on this video, keep it short and sweet for your Saturday is looking ahead at FIFA Ultimate team and this next batch, I mentioned this earlier in the video, the next batch of cards that are going to be in packs. And we'll go to the FIFA 19 footies legit EA page for this. This is what they said about best of. So the best of items, where is it at? Where is it at? Where is it at right here? The first batch will be released on July 3rd. The second batch will be released on July 17th. So that is this coming Wednesday. Basically, for the team of the weekday, they're going to release this batch into packs. And the third batch, which will be released on July 31st, will include some of the top players from both of the first two batches. So these first two batches are different and then the third one combines the best players from the first two. I think the second batch is going to be a lot better. I think a lot of people are in agreement with me on this. It has the potential to be a lot better if you look at some of the stuff that has been left out. We're not getting team of the years because this website says very clearly right here, excluding team of the year. So that tells me that team of the seasons are going to be back in packs in some variation or form. I don't think they can throw all team of the seasons back in packs, but if they do, that would be absolutely mental and I would love it. But I think that might be a little over the top. So they might do a variation, they might pick 11 players from each team this season and put another 200 players in packs as well as team of the knockout stage, or not for birthday, excuse me, team of the knockout stage, Carnival, Headliners, whoever those are, and FFS, those are like the big major promos that we haven't seen put back into packs yet. So if you have any of these FFS cards, Headliners, Carnival, team of the knockout stage, or even some Tots cards, I would start to look at maybe getting them out of your team if you're worried about losing a lot of coins, and if you saw what happened to these other cards that have been in packs for two weeks, I would definitely say sell them and if you want to get them back in your team, get them back a couple of days later, at least after rewards on Thursday the amount of drops on these cards after they went into packs has been absolutely mental. Griezmann going from 788k, he was under, wow, he was under 300,000 coins on Thursday after when that SBC dropped from Marcus Alonso that created a lot of panic in the market. But he went from 700k to 300k basically. Douglas Costa very popular center attacking mid, Brazilian in the Serie A 158k he was 280 down to 160 so you're going to have major drops across the board with these players going back into packs literally every single player dropped some of them didn't drop as much like Van Dyke wasn't super effective he actually went up a good amount, wow it's crazy Van Dyke went up a good amount but he's Van Dyke and he's just crazy that's just how Van Dyke is but a lot of these cards just get packed and they drop a ton so for most of those other special teams that you have out here Karna Balls, I mean you're going to see this Neymar card drop a lot coming back into packs, Gabriel Azuz, this Diabolo card this Mertens you know a lot of these cards are going to drop as they come back into packs you're going to want to be ahead of the game with this and I'm telling you guys about it now because it is early on, this headliner Pogba is going to be back in packs most likely 1.3 million coins if you hit like 800k how sick would that be that would be pretty dope he hasn't been under a million for like all year 1.3 right now I could see this card at like 800, 900,000 coins with the re-entrance back into packs for Paul Pogba and a lot of this stuff is going to drop even more as well so that's what I wanted to give you guys a heads up on if you have any of those cards in your club to look out for those and maybe take a chance a little early and taking the coins on those because there is a lot of chance that they're going to be included in that batch too and that supply as you have seen this week with batch number one has absolutely demolished those cards prices on the market now we'll talk a little bit more about that stuff later in this week probably on the Monday market outlook video two days before but if you guys are worried about losing coins the most you're probably able to maximize your price for those cards the FFS, the cards are going to be in batch too basically I would get those out probably today because the Weekend League rush is still there for the most part people are still playing Weekend League they're getting their games in for the Weekend League I would try to get those cards out today if you're really worried about losing coins if you're not too worried wait until the early part of the week play your full Weekend League with that team you do have a lot of those cards in your club especially the FFS, Carnival knockout stage and headliners the team this season I wouldn't worry about too much yet but I do think we're going to see those cards start to trend down into Wednesday as people realize hey these cards are going to be probably put into packs people are going to be thinking ahead and kind of know that so that's what I wanted to talk about with you guys today hopefully you enjoyed the video, hopefully your Weekend League is going well again as I said make sure you play I'm going to try to play the extra games this week to see if I can get all 30 in and get as high of a rank as I possibly can even if it's just gold 1 again to get those 200k packs for all the cards that could be in packs it should be a good one this week with best of set 2 coming out I'm excited to see what they do with that if you enjoyed the video smash the thumbs up on it comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you're new it's been Nate, Foot Accountant, catch you guys later peace out


certain things change from the Trayodashi of Kartikamasa. Traditionally they created a science as to how one should behave. So, the significance of the festival has largely been ignored. It is time to bring this back so that you don't sink down. Do not become susceptible to various negative forces which are always working upon us. Deepavali time, what is the significance of this? This is a festival which always comes in the month of Kartika, Ashpur, the Lunar Cycles, on the thirteenth day, which is called as Trayodashi. The thirteenth day of the Kartika month is the festival. Traditionally the science behind this is on this day everybody worships. On the Deepavali day, everybody is supposed to worship Dhanavanthri, the deity dedicated to one's health and well-being. Today the word Dhanavanthri has almost become synonymous with a doctor. Dhanavanthri or the deity Dhanavanthri is supposed to be the source of Ayurveda, the science of long and healthy lives. Well, lot of North Indian people, yeah, lot of North Indian people. So I don't know when they did this because the nature of the language is like that. In Northern India most people speak Hindi language and the last syllable they'll cut it off. If you say Dhyanalingam, they'll say Dhyanalinga. If you say Shiva, they'll say Shiv. If you say Rama, they'll say Ram. The language has the habit of cutting off the last syllable always, almost everything. Krishna, Krishna, Deepavali, Diwali, like this. So someone cut this Dhanavanthri and Trayodashi and made it Dantherya. What was about health became about wealth. Dhan means money. Now everybody thinks Deepavali is about money. Why it is about health is, for those of us who live in the Northern Hemisphere, it is from this day onwards certain things change from the Trayodashi of Kartikamasa, things change. In a way there is a slowdown of life. So for the winter months, how, what you should do with yourself, what time you should wake up, what you should eat, how your food habits should change, how your practices should change. For all this traditionally they created a science as to how one should behave. To pass through winter months without getting sick, without getting depressed, without losing your sense of balance and purpose in life, how to do this. For this there was an entire science. Lighting of lamps and bursting of crackers was one of those things so that you don't slip into a slowdown. There is genetically, there is a dimension, the evolutionary memory within us. Thinks that as winter months come, whether it actually got cold or global warming kept you warm, that's not the point. The changes have happened. The distance between the planet and the way the planet and the sun are positioned has changed. Because of that, slowdown of life happens. If you were a bear, I believe you were sometime ago, you would be hibernating. So there is a tendency for the body to hibernate. If you do not know this, the seed doesn't sprout. Nobody plants a seed from this season to 14th of January in India because the seed will not sprout fully or will not sprout at the same speed as it would in other seasons. Everything life slows down in the northern hemisphere. Because life is slowing down, we are preparing to do more energetic things around us so that we don't really slow down and become a part of that. In a way, we are trying to assert our evolution. Yes, if we were some other creature, we would go and curl up somewhere but now we have become human, we have transcended our biology. I'm assuming too many things. You are supposed to have transcended your biological tendencies. So to transcend this, there's a whole lot of activity created so that you don't go into a hibernating kind of state. Physically slowdown, mentally little bit of depression could easily happen in everybody because the season is like that. In colder countries, definitely people experience this. Because things have slowed down within you. In the northern hemisphere, not just you, everything has slowed down because our relationship with the sun has changed, which is the basic source of life. The basic source of energy on this planet is sun. Not because you came up with the solar panel, it's always been so. Now because the northern hemisphere, its relationship with the sun has changed, you're looking away from the sun. There is a slowdown from this month, the thirteenth day of this lunar month, which is called as the Kartika Parayodeshi. So to make up for this, in India there are various things done from this month onwards. Normally, traditionally the roles of males and females are interchanged. At this time, for example, it is a part of daily activity for a woman. Not anymore. In rural India still, that first thing in the morning she cleans the front of her house and draws some geometrical figures. These geometries, today she knows only one design, unfortunately. She keeps putting the same thing or she got it painted or she has a template and she puts it. Otherwise, she is supposed to use rice flour and every day, Monday, Tuesday, like this, every day of the week, she is supposed to draw a specific design, geometric design to attract a certain kind of energy into her home. If it's a full moon day, a certain kind of design, and if it's a new moon day, a certain kind of design. So, twenty-eight patterns were there, which people knew on which day what to put. So, during these months, it will become the duty of the men to do this. And this is the only month where men are supposed to go out singing on the street in the morning. Early morning, they're supposed to go singing on the street. Even today, a small number of people are doing this. In rural India to some extent, in urban India, once again a little bit of revival is happening. Today, we've become very large cities. Otherwise, if you lived in a village, everybody who lives there needs this beat of drum and music to reverberate in their system so that they don't hibernate, so that their systems don't slow down. So, Deepavali is about that. If you cannot see the light, that's why the crackers so that you anyway wake up. At four thirty in the morning, they will start bursting crackers all over the town so that everybody wakes up and everybody becomes alive. Because it is important in the winter months that you come up before the sun. The first ray of sun should not hit a blade of grass or some other worm or insect. The first ray of sun must hit you. This is a commitment. That is why before sunrise, everybody is out to receive the first rays of sun upon themselves, not upon the ground. So, the significance of the festival has largely been ignored, but still people are singing a bit and bursting crackers a bit. It is time to bring this back, especially in colder weathers. This would be wonderful if some of these things are revived because Diwali is not a religious festival. It's got something to do with our geographical location on this planet. Because we are in the northern hemisphere, these changes are happening to us, to our bodies, to the plants, to the animals, everything it's happening. You see, everything slows down.  Physically if you slow down, you will become susceptible to various other ailments which you may not be susceptible if your body is vibrant in the life. If this body is vibrant or alive, there are thousand infections within you right now. But you don't get sick because body is alive and vibrant.  This is why the whole thing about Dhanavanthri, the science of health and well-being that it must be kept alive till 14th of January, everything must be kept alive. You need music, you need more light, you need lamp light, you need all kinds of things to keep the atmosphere alive for yourself so that you don't sink down. And do not become susceptible to various negative forces which are always working upon us. It is just that some are sailing above it, some are sinking into it. So this is the significance of Dipavali. It is Dhanavanthri's Trayodashi.
