Our subject consists in a two-week course, Totten Spanish, where we aim to teach human rights law to students from all disciplines and fields, not necessarily from law. To achieve this purpose, we have based the learning experience mostly on non-academic works, such as novels, documentaries, comic books, podcasts and mood sessions. In addition this year we have prepared two institutional visits to the Red Cross headquarters in Barcelona. The first visit the students are going to learn about the work of the Red Cross in the field and the refugee crisis. In the second session we're going to do a escape room on the objectives of sustainable development. Thank you.


Hello, welcome to SSUnitech, social this site and this is continuation of SSIS tutorial. So today we gonna discuss about how we can load data into raw files from flat file and then we will also understand how we can load data into database from that file. At last we will understand what are the difference between flat file source and raw file source. So let's start. As we are dealing with movement of data, so we have to use data flow task inside the control flow panel and when we move to data flow panel then we can see we have to use a flat file source where we want to get the data and then we have to use a raw file destination where we want to load the data. So before going ssdT let's have a look of flat file. So this is our flat file as you can see it has comma separated values. First is id, then first name, middle name, last name and data output. So it contains total 5 columns. So we want to load this data into raw file. So let's move to ssdT. So this is our ssdT. Now we need to create a new package. So right click on this SSIS package and create a new package. And then I am going to rename this package from flat file to raw file. So first of all we have to use a data flow task inside the control flow panel.  Then it will directly move to data flow panel. So inside data flow panel we have to use our source. So our source is flat file. So we need to drag and drop this flat file source. Now we need to make the connection with our flat file. So double click on this then it will ask for flat file connection manager. So click on new. Then we need to select our file. So file name we can browse. So we need to select the file. So this is our file and click on open. As we can see we have delimited values. So go to on columns and we have comma separated values. So we have five columns first is ID, first name, middle name, last name and data output. So we are getting the data. Now click on OK. So retain null values from the source as null values in the data flow task. So go to on columns as we want all the columns. So we have to select all these columns and click on OK. So we have done our source part. Now we need to configure our destination. So destination should be raw file destination. So this is our raw file destination. We need to drag and drop this raw file destination. So now we need to connect. Once we connect then we need to double click on this raw file destination. So once we double click then we can see we have access mode. It has two options. First is file name. Second is file name from variable. If we have file name in any variable then we can select our second part. If we want to select our file then we can select our first option. Now we can browse and we need to create a new raw file. So we can set with raw and click on open. Once we click on open then we can see our right option. Right option has four options. So first is create always create once append and truncate and append. So what it mean? So first is always create. It is used to drop and recreate raw file. Once execute our package. So it will always create a new file and drop our existing file. In our second option create once. It is used if you want to execute our package once. It will create raw files only once and if you want to execute package again then it will reflect an error. So if we have any scenario by which we need to create that raw file only once then we can select our second option. And our third option is append. It is used to append the data to our existing raw file. Truncate and append. It is used to truncate existing data and append the new data. So these four types of right option are available. So we need to select create always. So go to on column page. How many columns we want? We want all the columns. So we can select all the columns. Then go to on connection manager and generate initial file. So file has been generated successfully. Now click on OK. So once we move to our folder then we can see raw file has been generated. And we can also have a look inside the connection manager. We don't have any connection manager for this raw file destination. So there is no need to make any connection manager to connect with our raw file. So I am going to execute our package. So as we can see five rows. So five rows should be inserted in our raw file. So stop this package and go to on raw file. So this is our raw file. I am going to open this in notepad++. So as we can see we are getting the data. It's not very easy to understand. Now we need to create one more package by which we will load this data into our database. So this is our database and we have raw file table. In this raw file table we have ID, first name, middle name, last name and the top one. So all these columns are all labeled in our raw file. So now create a new package, right click go to on new package. I am going to rename this package with raw file to database. Now we are dealing with movement of data. So we have to use a data flow task inside the control flow panel. Then double click on this and inside the data flow panel we have to set our source and destination. So our source is a raw file source. So we can drag and drop this raw file source and double click on this. Then it will ask for the file name. We can browse and select our file. So this is our raw file. Click on open. So once we click on open then we can see columns. So we are getting all the columns which we have seen earlier. Now click on OK. So we have done our source path. Now we need to configure our destination. So destination is OLEDV destination. So we can drag and drop OLEDV destination. Now we can connect. Once we connect then we need to make the connection to connect with our database. So click on new. So I have already made the connection. I am going to use that one. Click on OK. So now we need to select our table. So our table is raw file table. We can select that table and go to on mapping. So mapping succeed click on OK. Now I am going to execute this package. So once I execute this package then 5 rows should be inserted in our SQL server table. So go to on SSMS. Now I am going to execute our selected statement. So here we can see data has been inserted successfully in our SQL server table. So I hope you have understand how we can load the data from flat file to raw file and then raw file to SQL server. Next what are the differences between flat file source and raw file source. So first is flat file source. A flat file is an ordinary file with text data like TXT or CSV files. In raw file a raw file is basically dump of our data in SSIS to file system. Next is we can read the data using notepad or any other editor tool in case of flat file. But in case of raw file data is in binary format so we cannot read it. In case of flat file connection managers are required to connect with flat file. But in case of raw file there is no need to make the connection. So in case of flat file it is very slow to transfer the data as compared to raw file. So in raw file it is used to transfer the data very quickly. So I hope you have understand how we can load the data from flat file to raw file and then raw file to our database. And you have also understand how we can differentiate between flat file source to raw file source. So thank you so much for watching this video.

Hey Virgo, welcome back to your channel messages. This is Kelly from House of Virgo. If you're new, smash that like button and do subscribe and for all of the returning subscribers, welcome back. Hello everyone. Welcome to our new members, Joanne Carballo, Carrie Lucas Smith. Good to have you guys. Thank you for becoming a member of the channel. Alright, personal reading link is in the description box below this video. Virgo. Let's get into this message. What is showing up here? Okay, you've got hammer, sabotage, rebuilding, interrogation, repetitive, persistent, working on it. Okay, let's see. You've got paradise flipping out there and you have engagement ring. Okay. Hmm. Let's see what's going on here. Are you getting an engagement ring or giving one? Expansion, joy, enjoying each other, partnership, commitment. Okay. So yeah, okay, this is good news. I feel like this is good news. I feel like what's showing up here is there's an energy of someone who is desiring or will be working on a relationship, rebuilding relationship that was sabotaged to the point of maybe either offering or receiving like an a proposal. Why can't I talk a little bit, a proposal? Okay. And even with paradise, this feels like a good outcome. This feels like, wow, this is amazing. Giving each other, expanding a relationship, being happy. I feel like there is someone here who wants to rebuild a relationship. Okay. Now, so obviously rebuilding means somebody had a connection with someone where something ended and there's a desire to work on this partnership again or for the first, we'll just work on it or try to try again is what I'm hearing. Let's get more into this. Wow. I got the emperor. Okay. This is bossing up, taking the lead, Ares energy going on this journey, going for it. This is a go for it. Somebody's going for it. Somebody's going to go for it. Like yes, taking the lead, like this is like a power up. I kind of feel like, you know, in the video games, like a power up a leveling up, taking this journey. Okay. Let's see. So we've got fire. We've got water. Let's see. Death card. Okay. Scorpio energy there. Both of these are Mars ruled. All right. So Virgo, it feels like this is definitely somebody who is transitioning, starting new, starting over. Something has ended and now there's going to be fast movement, quick moving quickly. So I feel like it feels like somebody is making their way towards you here and wants to rebuild a relationship and is going to move it very quickly. Okay. The cupid's arrows and it feels like with the death card starting over. Okay. Let's see if we can get a court card. Give you some, let me get some clarification on this emperor here. All right. Yeah. Coming in subtle and sweet. Text messages, phone calls, very mild, testing the water a little bit here. Having a desire to communicate expressions of love. Okay. Let's see. And doing it. So expect some type of message in April from someone who sits in a position of like authority. They could be older than you. I don't know why he's crying. He's got pizza. Who cries when you have pizza? All right. Let's see. Oh, yeah. Get the lovers. So with the death card here, whatever was going on before, whatever energy, this is Gemini, whatever energy was happening before something that ended and needing to rebuild or there was a sabotage, I see you and another person coming together in April, definitely a decision being made. And then another person making a decision to come together in union partnership, marriage Larry, who's Larry or Lawrence? I just heard Larry. Okay. Oh my gosh. So if you're wondering what someone's response is going to be, if you're asking somebody out or making some kind of proposal or love proposal, it's a yes. Leo energy there. It's a positive. It's yes. Yes. Yes. If you're wondering if you and another person are going to work something out, it's a yes. And it feels like it's happening in the month of April. The love that that lovers, this is like a reconciliation or some kind of like a decision.  Yeah. There's, I just saw the chariot here. So that's progression, moving something forward to deal with travel, figuring out which path to go or where the destination is and then taking action to go in that direction. So this kind of feels like to me, there's somebody here who's open and willing to work on a relationship with you to move something forward, to come together, to be together and move it quickly. Maybe somebody's been out of your life or they were gone, but it feels like with the eight of cups, it's a temporary, it was like a temporary separation. Somebody had to leave or maybe you guys separated or broke up or something like that. The paradise card makes me feel like this is amazing. Like this is just something somebody has always wanted. It must be just like living in paradise. There's the 10 of cups. Yeah. And I feel like you're going to be pretty shocked because maybe you thought something was over. I don't think so. I don't think something's over. I'm not trying to blow smoke here, Virgo. I really feel like there is some kind of shift, cancer, Scorpio energy there. There's definitely a change. Let me take a look at you. Now you can be the one who's making this offer to somebody and they're responding positively or vice versa, but we're going to say for the reading's sake that this is the other person coming towards you. Okay. So there will be some communication first. Let's take a look at you, Virgo, in regards to this. Okay. So you're trying to calm down your maybe obsessiveness about the situation. You're definitely attached to this person. This always feels like the Satan and Jesus to me. You know, it's kind of like feeling pulled, but you know, like under some kind of spell in regards to this, but with a hanging man, it's like just kind of relaxing yourself, calming yourself down, not being trying to gain perspective on why you have such an attachment to someone if you feel that way or why you guys are like chained in some type of way to each other or why you guys keep coming back to each other or why you can't stop thinking about this person. You might feel like you've got obsessive thoughts, maybe just really trying to get more in a spiritual place in regards to your thoughts and trying not to obsess. Just trying.  We got Capricorn there. It's just really chill being at peace. Wow. Another major arcana, Virgo there. So you've been, you're doing, I feel like in regards to this, you definitely, well some Virgo here definitely feels bound to this person, but I feel like you are trying to understand yourself in regards to this. Even if this person approaches you in April, you might be not revealing that you feel very attached to them. You might just reveal like, Hey, I'm cool. Hey, it's cool, baby. Everything's fine. You'd be a bit detached or come across as a bit detached. Yeah. And act as like Virgo, you're trying to not be excited.  So it's like, I feel like you're trying to just kind of calm down any kind of attachment.  It's just this feeling where it feels like obsessive thoughts. Like you're trying not to get yourself worked up.  So you're trying to play it cool. You've got the ace of pentacles here. So I feel like you're going to accept this offer from this person, you know, if somebody comes and gives you a ring, you'll be like, right handed to me. I feel like you're going to accept this and really just, but at first kind of be like, do I have anything to offer? I feel like you ask yourself, do I have anything to really offer this person?  Let's get some clarifiers. What's showing the devil in regards to you? Okay. Yeah. You're definitely trying to move yourself away at this time or will be from like, if this person comes in, I don't know where you don't want to, I feel like you don't want to show your vulnerable side.  But then at the same time, if you don't show that, you stay isolated, you know? Um, yeah, trying to free yourself. You definitely, I see you taking some kind of a risk here. Um, and just being like, if you're the one making the offer or the other person's making the offer, you do come to this place after maybe thinking about a little bit, then kind of like, yo, I'm way too much in my head about this. Let me just say yes or, you know, let me just let go of the overthinking. Yeah.  It's almost like Virgo, you want to just purchase some insurance in love. So if you get hurt, you're not going to lose out on anything. I don't know. You're kind of conflicted here a little bit. It's like you want the offer, you want the person to do that. But I kind of feel you like, OK, should I just say eff it and do it and just go for it or do I need to think about this more? Yeah. So I'm not I'm picking up like a 50 50 energy. I'm not really seeing, I don't know, maybe you're just being very logical in regards to like you're trying to like get your balance here because you have some restrictions on you like mentally. I think maybe it's really important for you to just try to get your head and your heart aligned to some degree.  I love them, but your head is saying something differently. You're trying to talk you out of it. Like, I don't know why your head would be talking out of talking, trying to talk you out of it or trying to kind of like delay it or something. But it could have something to do with money. But I feel like the message here with tempers is Sagittarius, we have Aquarius. I feel like the message here is find a place of harmony and balance with this. And I feel like the way to do that is just to give it up to spirit and just be like, show me the path. Whatever the way I'm meant to go, give me the signs. Leave me in that direction. Open up a path for me to go the way that it's meant to go without trying. Maybe you sabotage Virgo. Maybe you're the one. Maybe you subconsciously sabotage and you don't realize because maybe there's a sphere of, like I said, being vulnerable. It happens sometimes, or maybe it's just with this particular person.  They'll be talking online all the time and then get really upset. One person gets really upset because the other person isn't wanting to meet them. But the question I would like step back and ask is why would you even, why would you even start an online relationship with someone? Unless you met them first and you've been together for like a long time and then you guys had to split for work or something. But, you know, a lot of people get into online relationships because they have a fear of being in actual, like the fear, intimacy, emotional intimacy or one on one being in long distance type online relationships are they're safe. And sometimes we manifest those and we don't realize we're doing it. But we're actually trying to protect ourselves, which is why we're agreeing to stay in them. You know, it's, it's, it's kind of like not so much on the other person, but to ask yourself if that's your situation. Are you kind of protecting yourself in some way? I don't, I'm not saying that's your story. I just feel like you have some kind of burden overload. And I feel like you need to lighten the load here in regards to making a decision.  And if you're the one that you feel like you may have, I mean, it takes a lot of like self-reflect isn't just, you know, going into your room and just kind of being alone. And like self-reflect is really asking yourself these questions and asking for enlightenment to, because sometimes our subconscious is running things and we don't, and our conscious just rationalizes why we're doing things, right? But away from all of that, I see a proposal. I see you and another person getting into like, like either engagement ring is being offered. And I see this going in a very positive direction.  That's what I feel like is going on. They're already your other half. So, I mean, what's your advice? It's hard to say. I feel like overall, you need to kind of check yourself and see or ask yourself why you want to, why you want to be with this person, you know, like for life, you know, not just because you, you know, I don't know. I just feel like you need to ask yourself why, why do you love this person? You know, what is it? Is it like, I understand the whole magnetic pole between you and another person. But like, if that wasn't there, is this the one you would choose to be with or no, some of you are like, yeah, absolutely. And that's great. I feel like another person here wants to be with you like full full on rebuild this relationship, make something happen here between the two of you. I think what I'm going to do is when this reading is over, I'm going to go to do an extended because I want to see if you accept this offer from this person, what life is going to be like for the two of you? Like how it's going to work out, how this whole thing is going to happen. Like, is it just a proposal and then nothing happens and then it ends? Like what's the deal? I want to see this person's true intentions for you because there's something here that's telling me that for some reason you're thinking about it and you're not sure if it's you or if it's something with them. So I will go into the extended after this reading. If you want to purchase that, it's $11 and 11 cents. You don't have to purchase it. I pretty much gave you your message here. But if you're interested in having more insight in regards to this with somebody here, you can definitely there'll be a link in the description box. Okay, let me just get some messages of love to see what else here. Oh, okay, spiritual lesson.  Wow, Virgo. Well, you might already know that there's some kind of spiritual connection interference. An external party is intruding on this relationship. Okay, there might be somebody else in this picture. That might be something that needs to be kind of sorted out. It could be a person place or a thing. It could be a work, it could be distance. It could be another person. All right, now you have friendship. A friendship that is leading to more, Virgo.  It's safe to make the move you're considering. Okay. So if it's you making an offer here to somebody, it's safe to do it. And it's also so two safe words. It's safe to trust in this situation. And wow, you also have twin flame, divine counterpart connection and marriage. Relationship moving toward a secret union. Like all the signs are there. I want to make a recommendation. Do a Chinese sign compatibility if you know who your person is and see how you guys, like what your percentage is, like how you get along. For some of you, this is a water sign. Cancer Scorpio Pisces. That is, that is this other person. Let me see what else. Yeah, do your Chinese sign compatibility might give you a little more insight. Okay. So it is safe to make the move you're considering, but not right now. Okay. I'm not really sure. They're saying, give it a little more time. Everything in divine timing, let things flow. I feel like don't make an impulsive move here. I feel like spirit's trying to tell you, just wait.  You also have honeymoon phase or attending somebody's wedding. So there might be an invite to a wedding as well. Or obviously it's being invited to your own wedding to participate in. Okay. Honeymoon phase, feeling good to, to feeling good with each other. What else do you need to know? Okay. For others, this is a fire sign. Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, or they could be on a cusp. Could be like a Scorpio Sagittarius. They could be a Pisces, Aries, or they could be a Cancer Leo. It could be Cusper. So yeah, you've got love spell. You're bewitched. You and this person are bewitched by each other or with each other. Yeah. So whatever you're feeling, the feelings that you're having, that energy, they're feeling, they feel it too about you. Patience, just a few more months. So maybe just wait a little bit. And there's also someone else in the middle trying to sabotage those. So that, for some of you, there may be a third party involved. Um, that you're going to have to get through or is going to have to be removed from the picture. And I feel like with the confession card, if you don't know that, they may tell you that there was someone else involved or that they have been with someone else, but they're not, obviously they're proposing to you. So there's a ending. Um, they'll tell you that, that person might have been like a gold digger. Um, I ain't saying she's a gold digger, but she ain't messing with no, uh, so there's a breakup from that person. Either they were a gold digger, your person, seeking out, you know, somebody's money or, um, the person they were with was kind of using money or using them for the money or taking their money from them. What a message. All right, let me see other messages for Virgo. Okay, so you have an emotional wish is being granted. The struggle is coming to an end Virgo, you have twins, soul, even when times are tough and seem back and forth, this love is meant to be. And it's time to reconcile message from your admirer, or you'll be sending one, so there will be some communication coming to you. There will be some communication coming up with this person. Um, like I said, on their end, it looked like they were going to be sending you some very sweet love messages going forward. Um, and that might just be, or you guys will engage in some type of very mild dialogue before actually coming back together, look non committal in the reverse.  Okay, let's get some Chinese signs. All right, so we're starting off, it could be you are your person, year of the rooster, year of the tiger, year of the rat, year of the rabbit, year of the goat, rooster again, year of the dog, year of the monkey, and year of the dragon. Now, if I didn't call you or your person's Chinese sign, it does not mean that this reading is not for you. Um, that's just more clarification of who the reading will be for. Okay, let's get some names. Okay, we've got a pink flamingo and that's really given me some paradise vibes. So it could be a drink, a favorite drink of yours or somebody's or somebody lives where there's, I don't know, are there such things as pink flamingos? I don't know. Or it's maybe a name of a place or a long decoration. So we have the letter Q, someone is 33, someone is 31, the letter I, someone is 43. Okay, we have the letter XX. Ooh, so many super sexy X rated someone's born in January. We have someone is 59. The letter L, someone's name begins with an L. Maybe there's a Lee, someone's 38. I say 1990, 1966, 1972, September 17th, someone's name starts with an A. We have September 1st, September 12th, letter E, we have 1981. Okay, hold on. 1974, the letter N, letter A again, Annie. September 18th, we have someone is 30 years of age. All right, what else? I just saw the word go. Okay, somebody's birthdays in April, someone's 55, the letter F and the letter O. Yeah, I saw go. So they're saying just go. Someone starts the letter D. We have an L again. Allie, or two L's in their name. Allie, okay. September birthday, please. September 2nd. And let's see if we can get more clarity on this person's zodiac sign that you're dealing with. Okay, Pisces, Libra, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Libra, Sagittarius, Leo again, and Libra again. And Aries, Scorpio, Leo and Cancer again. Okay, so you also have what came out is like applyers. So maybe you're working with the pliers. You could be doing some kind of craft or someone works with the pliers. Okay, and you also have, oh my gosh, balloons, balloons, somebody's birthday is in April. There might be like a birthday message or somebody sends balloons to someone or maybe hot air balloon. I'm picking up balloons. Or if you see balloons, just kind of out of nowhere. You know how sometimes helium balloons get loose. Maybe you see them. That's a sign for you. Look, I have to do my freaking thumbnail. And so for others, these balloons are also pastel. So I'm picking up a baby shower. As well, you could be going to a baby shower or putting one together, doing something with a baby baby shower. And wow, okay, these two, I'm just going to show you these last two charms. And again, I will go over to the extended. If you want more clarity to see how things are going to work out. You've got a lion here.  Okay. And there's also a white seahorse, which I don't think I've ever pulled that. Hmm. Something to do with a white seahorse. Yeah, I'm picking up pregnancy. I don't know what's going on here, but this either a baby shower or pregnancy. Maybe you're attending this or you're finding out about this over the, you know, the month of April or somebody's do that could be doing like a baby's room, pastel colors, yellow, pink, blue, very neutral, not specific to one color. The white makes me feel very, it's very pure and neutral. So that's a real like strong message. But individually, yeah, also, so you might, maybe you like seahorses or you do something with, or that's the name of a stock seahorse, I don't even know if that's a thing, but maybe you do. If you deal with that, I don't really deal with that. So, um, yeah, okay, I'm going to go over to the extended and see how things are going to turn out with you and this person coming together.

I'm free. I won't hold it against you. You do your thing, never wanted a future. How to put it, romantic. You get my truth, there's no need to panic.


Strong female leads. They've been around for a long time, but it seems like around a decade or so back Hollywood decided this is a marketing strategy. This is an angle We need to take now and act like it's never been done before a woman holding her own in a film How progressive how ingenious? It's perfect. Well today I'm gonna cover this a little bit talk about why they've been making some bad decisions as of late and how they can course Correct. It's really not that hard. In fact, they were already doing it before Let's rant Before I begin make sure to run up the side of a guy's leg spin around his neck and serpentine down like some sort of a spazzy Monkey throwing him to the ground and then punch that subscribe button as all female leads do because then you won't miss a Single video from me whether it's a movie review a rant a roast a live stream all film related all the time Movies always go through cycles There's always new trends or new hot things to try out and then mirror whether it's John Wayne and Clint Eastwood leading the charge for Westerns or neo dodging bullets in the Matrix leading to a bunch of copycats or Again with Keanu Reeves as John Wick setting a new standard in action film There's always different flavors that keep going for a while until it gets stale And they have to move on to something new well when it comes to movies starring women every genre almost has been hit very hard You have amazing dramas with a lot of great actresses look at fried green tomatoes or a league of their own Aaron Brockovich ready to Aaron Chocobitch if you get in her way Julia Roberts is a powerhouse Thelma Louise taking matters into their own hands and their lives Musicals like grease hairspray or more recently la la land continue to impress and showcase female talent All bases were pretty equally covered. Hell even a horror movies You can argue women dominate in not so much as the antagonist, but certainly as a protagonist Oftentimes they're sexualized sure, but they're still there.  The woman just won't die the character not the actress I hope Jamie Lee Curtis outlives me strong female leads that continuously knock it out of the park Kristen Bell never not working I've seen her like a billion different things and she's always delightful She's always sharp witty funny and on point with her comedic timing when it comes to action movies Obviously, it's very heavily skewed towards guys. Believe it or not There's just things that guys like more than women and one of them is watching other dudes kick each other's asses So you get those diehards. You get the lethal weapons. You get the last boy scouts. You get those wicks those Nobodies, there's so many the beekeeper the transporter I think we've covered every single profession and somehow managed to find a way to make it about fighting dudes Or shooting them bad boys.     I don't even know what that means into a spinning bird kick chun lee style Break the guy's neck. He drops his gun.   It's ridiculous, but this is the kind of stuff that sometimes enter maybe it's just me Maybe it's maybe it's just me We're gonna move past it I think where this train really started to derail was ghost busters the infamous 2016 I think don't quote me on that with melissa mccarthy and friends the all-female version. They did the gender swap Why? They thought it would work guys already love ghost busters. We have them locked in. How do we draw in more? How do we get the women because I'm sure they have stats I'm sure they have numbers of the amount of men that watch ghost busters and love it as opposed to women So if we can capture everyone then we have everyone, but that's just not how things work Let's take a brand new movie barbie made a billion dollars. Why is it because guys love barbie?  It's sad. It's sad and empathetic But that's what it is So when you make a barbie movie you've captured the women because they grew up with barbie and it sounds like It's gonna be feminist driven. It's gonna have some messages.  We get the messages. Very good. Very very well done. Let's move on now But guys went because you have a hot barbie's in there And it looked like a fun comedy Hot women comedy easy sell and it made a billion dollars.   So they keep doing it So ghostbusters comes out it loses money. It still made a decent amount, but not enough for what it costs Apparently, so it lost money they gave up on that but they didn't give up on that message Which is strong female leads. You need to come out and see it. We have the first female ghostbusters We have the first female marvel superhero with brie larson. She's a hero.  It came down to her gender instead of what she's actually doing in the film What she represents in the film. Wow. It's a cool new character. No, it's a female character No one cares No one cares more guys saw the marvels and captain marvel than women did So the marketing doesn't work and keep in mind Captain marvel did incredibly well and it was entirely because of where that movie was wedged between infinity war and endgame And if you don't believe me look at the numbers the marvels did it made so little money Not only is it not getting a sequel, but I believe it was the lowest grossing movie in mcu history now Look at gal gadot as wonder woman.   They're suited up.  They don't go and watch it So you see the trailers and it's like oh the guy's bad or the guy's an idiot and the woman's like I don't need a man to do this and it's just so preachy and it talks down and insults the base that they're trying to go after Or at least the base that they thought they had locked in which are the action junkies primarily men Star wars comes out with ray the force awakens pretty well received I would say the majority of people really liked it. There was people that hated it, of course But then last jedi comes out spits in the face of i would say half of the the fans maybe more maybe less It's gotta be at least half When luke skywalker throws that thing over his shoulder ray knocks him down talks down to him's disgusted by him It's spitting in the face of the fans too many Too many i was upset with it for a myriad of reasons beyond that but taking ray at face value She's a street rat from some desert planet who doesn't know her parents yet. She can fly a millennium falcon perfectly She knows the force pretty perfectly already has no real growth to this character at all They have no idea what to do with her So they have to keep pushing this shrouded past element because she's already mastered pretty much everything else It's boring. It's lame. It gives daisy ridley absolutely nothing to work with and i thought she was great It's just the character sucks Poorly written there's been a lot of movies that have also gender swapped males to females Basically because they don't know what to do with the property. They have no interesting story to tell So they just do a gender swap and they call it a day like oh, okay now dr Who's a woman now we can go a different route with things in the story instead of what women want Let's do what men want instead of oceans 11. Let's do oceans eight and then it's going to be women this time They also put them in movies where they sideline the main male protagonist I'm looking at you indiana jones 5 they'll then take it further And they'll for some reason attach a secondary characteristic to this woman So they can check a box tip the hat to their audience and say listen Not only is this woman along for the ride. She's also gay You're welcome. What's the point of that? Just it's just there. It's just the thing now. It's not actually gonna have anything to do with the rest of the story It's never really going to get brought up again. Just not going to have it like a female love interest That's going to come along that she's going to have to help. It's just there.  I know some people are like, oh, yeah, right Like this person could ever take out this group of people It's all fantasy at the end of the day As long as the movie gives me a reason to at least get on board with this character If they come from a background of like a cia operative or special forces or something good enough She's got some training we we can get invested or she's got a superpower or something like that Fine because I look at a movie like john wick We're on the fourth john we're on the fifth john wick if it ever if it comes out if it gets made but Keeping by this four of these This dude keanu Reeves is what fifties in his fifties now is he 60?  He's old though He's old to take out like a thousand guys.  That's too much But my guy john wick over here. He could easily do it This spry young 50-some-year-old he can easily handle all these young guys with kevlar vest and whatnot I mean come on. It's it's at the end of the day. It's all fantasy. It's all silly nonsense In reality John wick would probably have been killed by the fourth dude He came into contact with because he'd get shot in the face End of discussion all things aside There's definitely been a disgusting trend in hollywood over the last decade to make all the men evil Prop women up and no it's not across the board And there can still be movies that do that and they're not, you know so-called woke or have an agenda They're just that's what the movie is. I just saw one actually where it's two lesbian women The guys are all dirt bags in the movie to but but to be fair pretty much everyone in the movie is a dirt bag It's the new movie by a 24 love lies bleeding I thought it was a good movie It was actually really good until it kind of falls apart in the final act But still for the most part very very interesting film to watch So even if it has all the tropes all the cliches all the basic formula It can still be good. It can still be fun to watch. It doesn't have to be yelled at and shamed You can still get entertainment out of this stuff because again, it's all trends all the time Hollywood's not that creative if one thing works They will continue to hit that thing until it doesn't and no we cannot look at some of this stuff and say It didn't work. Why are you still doing this over there? It's not always one to one because if that was the case Barbie should have lost money It should have gone like negative dollars because that movie is more woke than anything else on the planet But the fact remains that you have to sell to the right audience Hot leads check nostalgia bait check Comedy check it has all the things it needs to drive in a big audience So if they would have came out with the charlie's angels a couple years ago like they did and they would have Sexified them if they would have cast correctly If they would have made it this loud bombastic awesome action over the top film You would have had that guy audience locked in But because they went throughout they did they lost a lot of them and they didn't gain up any women They didn't make up the difference The marketing has been so bad over the years for these movies that people were genuinely scared that they were going to recast James Bond with a woman. They thought. Oh my god. It's over. James Bond's now going to be a woman It's gone. It's going to be jane bond or whatever they've they've come out and said that's not happening But that's just how far it had gone where it really did feel like Hollywood hated guys They didn't want to make movies for them even though if you actually paid attention There was a male-driven movie coming out every week.  There's still a leading male movie being made oftentimes It's a perfectly generic safe film not that interesting so people don't even care about it But yeah, there's still very much there. There's still very much a male-driven thing It's just that the audience is primarily men going to movies if you look at the stats That's just how it bears out and so Hollywood's always trying to find ways to catch more people If they want to just keep coming out with Taylor Swift movies because holy shit That movie made a lot of money and that was primarily women and young girls But regardless you got a different audience for that one. You got it with Barbie So maybe there will be a new trend going forward where they're going to figure out a new formula They're going to get out the Bunsen burner and start mixing concoctions and they'll go all right We got a new thing figured out. It's going to work this time It remains to be seen But let me know your thoughts on all of this if I hit on some things you've been thinking about if I touched on I've been not gone far enough. Let me know like the video if you want Please subscribe if you haven't I post tons of movie reviews rants roast all that stuff every week It's all movies all the time. Oh, and if you really appreciate me putting myself out there on these rants I would love if you just super thanked me right below this video. There's a super thanks icon You'd say hey adam. This was awesome. Here's 10 bucks. Keep doing your thing. I'd really appreciate it All right, take care


These days we hear a lot about globalization, mostly with regard to economics, electronic communication, and travel. But plants and animals also are transported between continents, sometimes with serious side effects. This attractive plant is called Tamarisk, but it's also known as Salt Cedar. The plant is native to North Africa, but somebody brought it to North America as an ornamental landscape plant. Unfortunately, Salt Cedar escaped from cultivation and spread along rivers and streams all over the west, crowding out native plant and animal species. Salt Cedar also uses tremendous amounts of scarce water, and it concentrates salts in the soil, making it difficult for other plants to grow and germinate. A similar problem is associated with this species, Russian Olive, that has actually been planted in the west along streams in shelter belts and windbreaks as a reclamation species since the Dust Bowl era. Unfortunately, it also spreads and crowds out native plants and animals. It's important to be very careful when importing plants and animals from other areas. They can be very valuable, but they can also cause huge unexpected problems. I'm Gene Gade from the University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service.
