Felly, sy'n 2008 yn y pethigol, ac mae'n gwneud i'r eich drwsiau ar y Bwysig Llywodraeth, ac mae'r cyfrifiad cyfrifiad ar y gyfrifiad cyllid yn bwysig, mae'n cyfrifiad cyfrifiad cyfrifiad cyllid, o'r gyfrifiad cyfrifiad cyfrifiad cyfrifiad. Yr First is Consumtion, yn cyfrifiad cyfrifiad, He says it's very strange that China has 40% consumption, domestic consumption in a developing society. He said it's something like 53% and of course in developed economies it's nearly 75%. This is a big, big imbalance. Even for a developing economy consumption in China is very, very low. The second one he talks about is service sector. Again, he uses the statistic in 2009 of, I think, 47% service sector in China, 53% in a developing economy and 80% in developed economies. Another anomaly, not just with developed economies but with developing economies. The 30 talks about, and that seems strange because it seems to have been a big success, is urbanisation in China. Of course China is 50-50 now, according to the census in 2010, those living in cities and those living in villages or in rural areas. But he says that this, in fact, is still an anomaly because it should really be more 60-65%. China is lagging in its urbanisation and this is a great challenge to have deeper urbanisation. The fourth structural issue he talks about is this sort of issue of the state's role of the economy investment into capital investment. China still has something like 48, the thing he uses in, I think, 2010, 48, 49% of capital investment into infrastructure. In America, I think he says something like 15% or even lower and again a great structural issue. The state is, in fact, an enormous source of investment and this issue means it's too dominant and there are all sorts of economic issues that flow from that. Those four big structural issues he talks about have also been made, in a sense, starker because he refers quite a lot to the impact of the global financial crisis since 2007 and the way in which markets in Europe and North America disappeared. He talks in a very interesting way about the biggest strategic imperative for the party is fast sustainable growth and then he talks about the need to create new spaces for growth. To deal with these structural issues, China within itself has to create new spaces for growth. Chinese is Fajang Kongjian, new spaces for growth. Then he also talks quite a lot about the Chinese vision of domestic consumption, of China not being reliant on Western economies for its growth, of China indigenising sources of growth in its own consumptive patterns and in its own investments and really creating more control by getting rid of this dominance of export orientated growth and creating a market within China that's a source of its own growth. So there's a tinge of a sort of national mission there and when we look in fact at his colleague on the Politburo now, Liu Yunshan, who is the head or was the head of propaganda, we see this echoed in the way that Liu Yunshan talks about Chinese culture. Liu Yunshan talks about the information technology revolution and talks about news management. Liu Yunshan is a big surprise as someone who was promoted onto the Politburo Standing Committee because he had been severely criticised over a number of crises from the Tibetan uprising onwards until the Wenzhou high-speed train crash in 2011 or 2012. He'd been severely criticised over the news management handling of this because it was felt that the party propaganda department, which he was in charge of, had just not kind of got the message out and it had allowed these crises to happen and it hadn't really got the positive messages out about how the party was handling crises. It had made people seem sloppy. So Liu Yunshan writes quite a lot about the importance of news management and an era of social media contestation and comes again with this issue reflected, like Liu Yunshan's ideas on economic development, of a Chinese social media, a Chinese information technology revolution, the idea of the party being able to provide a framework in which the rest of the world is kept at a safe distance but you have this sort of harmonious cyber atmosphere in which things that are good for people in social development are delivered and things that are not good are kept out. And that brings us therefore back to what I am meant to be speaking about today which is this idea of the Chinese dream. Now having sat in this room, I think the room next door, in 2008 having been advertised to speak about China and the Olympics and then not managed to say a word about the Olympics in 2008, I am very aware that I shall keep to the subject today so I will come back now to this issue of the China dream. With the things that I have talked about that Li Keqiang and Liu Yunshan said, I think we can see in Xi Jinping's language too, although it is very abstract, this idea of China needing to be more in control of its international space, China needing to be more aware of its identity and being able to have a stronger voice and China being less dependent on the economies of outside economies, particularly export markets. And I think that is a very important element to think of because the battle ironically for opening up the domestic consumption market in China and to have access to this huge number of new emerging consumers across the whole of China, the middle class that we talk of. I mean this is a big, big battle that the Communist Party itself faces. It has to find growth in these people who are obviously immensely gifted savers and not particularly willing to spend. And when we look at places in which we can see the future already in Shanghai, for instance, I think at Fudan University last year said, Shanghai is the future of Chinese consumption, you do see how a kind of higher service sector, higher domestic consumption China would look like. If you look at Shanghai you can kind of see greater service sector, more mixed economy, hasn't completely got better manufacturing, has high tech sectors, more kind of mixed, greater space for consumption. I mean this is the future of Shanghai. And I guess the party kind of sees a future in which that model, because it's already worked in one place, might work elsewhere. I guess they also have a high awareness that of course there are foreign partners in terms of the service sector, in terms of some benign actors who are going to be big, big allies in this. I mean it's not just about keeping the foreigners out. No, it's about having those who are allies in this enormous battle to produce growth and to produce domestic consumption, to deal with these four structural issues. The final thing I suppose to come back to the Liu Yun Shan kind of ideas, a sort of space of articulating China's identity without being kind of pervaded by what Deng Xiaoping, Deng Xiaoping, the paramount leader in the 1980s and 1990s called flies from outside and spiritual pollution. I mean one of the interesting issues I suppose in this sort of ideological battle, it is an ideological battle and I think it is important for this elite. One of the important issues is of course to do something about what Xi Jinping talked about on 15 November about closing the gap between the party and the people. And this issue that Liu Yun Shan talks about for cultural industries being ways of capturing the hearts and minds and he makes this sort of heartfelt plea in 2011 of well why is it that no one wants to listen to Cardra's speak and you know officials get bored out of their skull by listening to these long tedious speeches. They don't want to listen to us banging on for hours and hours about ideological issues. We don't connect with people and then he goes on for about five hours talking like this and proves why it is they don't listen and everyone's switching off in billions. But the issue really that he raises and is an important one, the party feels at least going from what he said and he's been in charge of it for many years and is now on the Politburo Standing Committee so really can do something about it, the party feels that in the last ten years it lost control of the message. The message of how it connects to people, the way in which it is seen not just as a self-interested clique with only a few thousand members, I think someone worked out that at vice ministerial level above in China you're looking at an elite of about 2,700 people and this is a small elite on which to run a vast country and it seems very, very remote. So this idea of having a kind of language which bridges that big, big gap between this extremely powerful but very small elite with all of the vested interest that has accrued around them because of the way in which the party has been a great source of profit over its control of the state of enterprises in particular, this issue is a very, very serious one. I suppose when we look at the way that Xi Jinping is trying to message and trying to create a kind of better communication strategy we do see this attempt to at least create a better communicative language in which you're just not appealing to people's purse strings but also their emotions or their hearts too. Bolshilai just sort of finally on that issue of course raised lots of interesting questions during his fall that we can still think about. One of them is this very issue of how do you do politics in China? How do you mobilise people? We can say since 1949 that there have been two distinct phases from 49 until the death of Mao Zedong in 1976. You had politics done with charismatic leadership but mass campaigns, about 16 of them from the three aunties in 1953 I think and culminating in the culture revolution and that from 1966 has left a big impact on people. The leaders that I'm talking about today, Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang and Liu Yunshan in particular have memories of that time. They were about 16, 17 at the beginning of it and so it was a very powerful influence on them as it was for the previous leaders. And from 1978 onwards I suppose you have a period of not political mobilisation, you take economic delivery as the main thing, party efficiency, administrative efficiency these things are the most important things and I think you can say I think as Wang Hui an important intellectual at the Beijing University said the party has a kind of unique role in society is the kind of final thing that can sort out big spats between different groups and factions and networks. And you know that really is under a lot of pressure now because the party has to really hit some quite important socio-political I mean not contradictions but decision points really. You know this is a society where quite soon there's going to have to be big decisions about what you do about legal reform, what you do about increasing township elections for instance, what you do about public participation decision making, what you do about these much more difficult socio-political issues not just about economic development, it's about dealing with inequality in society with bigger social welfare or creating a kind of bigger health service it's always a very tough thing to make those decisions and there'll be some winners and losers and of course with social media Chinese constituents now are much more vocal in saying that they're not happy. So when it gets a sense that mobilisation is now necessary again and that there is a kind of need for the party to have a communication strategy like any political environment in which you are going to basically spell out to people well we've got to go in this direction, we can't have everything but we've got to make this choice and there'll be some little lose but most will win and you know this is why we all have to stick together and that's really important because you want to obviously stop the amazing amounts of contention that have happened in Chinese society in the last few years and people have been trying to measure and some have come up with sort of staggering statistics of maybe 100, 120,000 up to 180,000 incidents each year. So it's an important thing to do something about this and the party's communication strategy and how it appeals to people to be parts of this are very, very important. So I think all we can say at the moment after less than a year of a new leadership is well obviously there's an attempt to communicate more obviously there's a lot of interest in talking about more justice in society obviously there's an interest in making China more dependent on itself for internal growth I mean these things have all been talked about and it's been talked about a little more in the last few months but I guess what is really not clear today and I'm not entirely sure when it will become clear although there's meetings later in the year that may clarify more is what the party practically intends to do to pursue these visions. So while we are in a sort of era of dreams and that's good I guess we are not yet getting to the point where we can say about these new leaders well are they really willing to hit some of these big, big policy decisions about more social welfare, more rule of law attacking vested interest dealing with some of the inefficiencies in the state and enterprises that will then impact on some of these big tribal family interests that have been a source of immense wealth doing something specific about China's internal governance issues all of these things that are very well known have been talked about over the last year what are the practical footsteps the steps that China is going to take so as of today we don't know that and I suppose just in conclusion there will be two possibilities for when we know that the first is if we have a declaration by the party leadership about their plans and that would be I suppose a rational and a sort of controlling way of doing it and the second would be from crisis because then they'll be forced to do it so I guess those are pretty stark possibilities thank you


We want to welcome William McGinnis to the Haydashbury Oral History Project and your friends call you Bill. Yep. Okay, well tell me a little about yourself, like where were you born? I was born in Boyarica, California, which is about 350 miles north of San Francisco. It's right on the border in Florida. We have 25 miles south. It's 1938. Is that too loud? Yeah. Maybe we'll lower it a little bit. Beautiful. So you're California native? Yes. And your parents' names? My father's name was Bill, just like mine. Sure. And my mother's name was Alma Emma Bartlett. I think you said you had a photo of your father? Yep. I'd love to see him. This was taken in 1948, approximately. I guess he was chief engineer of a radio station. He was also an announcer. He's also your what? He was also an announcer. An announcer as well. Yeah. So he did everything. You're Bill McGinnis II. He's Bill McGinnis I. It's an amazing photo of excited radio station around here. Must have been around 1948. In 1948. Wonderful. Yeah, it was January 11.  Yeah, yeah. So what was your mother's name? My mother's name was Alma. And she had studied in voice. She did a lot of light opera. Did you bring a photo of your mother? Yeah. Okay, let me put that one down. This was taken probably eight months, seven months before I was born. Wow. What year were you born? Born in 1938. And this is stamped on the back April 27, 1938. Is she pregnant or maybe a little pregnant? She might have been pregnant. Beautiful lady. And her name again? Her name was Alma. Alma. Emma Bartlett. She was born in Senior, Ohio. Beautiful. Yeah. Actually, she probably wasn't born in Senior. Probably she was on a farm. Not many hospitals around here. On a farm. And then your parents, and that was where? In Roosa born? Senior. Ohio. Ohio. Okay. I thought I was born in Portland. Hey Bill, I think we need to lower that just a touch. Our microphones are very sensitive. They'll pick it up. I would like to know if you've got any other family photos with you? I brought some that are much later. Much later? Yeah. This is one of my mother and father, and then there's one of all of us here. Yeah, let's look at all those and... Yeah, this is... We'll try to... you know, we'll get a close-up on this and you can explain to us. I'll say that's my mother and me, my daughter and my wife. Wow, so what's your wife's name? That's Ruth. And your daughter? And Sarah. And you? And me. And your mom, Alma? No. Beautiful. This one is my mother and father. Wonderful. It must be in 1988. Where were they living at that time? That was in Puerto Rico. Okay. And for how long did your father stay in some way connected to radio music or announcing? Well, he... He retired? He didn't retire. He bought a radio repair shop, radio and television. Sure. A repair shop. Actually, before there was television in Wairika. Wow. And got involved in cable early on, early in the early days of cable. Yeah, we're in the mountains and we couldn't get television. So he brought television into town, wired up to town for television. So he was essentially in the technical and technical management end of the entertainment business for all of his life. Fantastic. Any other family photos you bring with you? There was one of his taken... What was taken, I think? World War I? World War II? World War II, is it? Right. This was... Oh, like a film. This was my mother and her cousin Willard. My father is on the left side of the screen. And my mother's cousin Willard there is on the left side of the screen. So this day I don't know his last name. Probably Barbara or Ford. Right, no problem. This other one you brought? And the other one is my wife and myself, sometime about 1963. That's amazing. Just after me and Mary. That's amazing. It's a rare photo without a beard. Well, I have a moustache, but... You have a moustache. It's still in the reserves in the National Guard. Sure. It's right before you came back to the Hague? A couple of years or... Actually... We're living in... I was... I had come back, I think I'd started working at the San Francisco Tate Music Center about that time, which was on the Dizidero Street. Right. In the Dizidero and Page. Oh, wow. Right in the neighborhood. Just down there. Yeah, right down the street. That's around 1963, 1964, right in there? 1964. 1964. Pretty close. This is probably... That's probably 1963, 1964. Did you ever have long hair? Did you let your hair grow? Oh, yeah. Through the next few years? Well, unfortunately, the commanding officer... Right, she was still in the reserves. Didn't approve of... Sure. He didn't mind the moustache for some reason, because he said it made me look like a German field officer. Oh, okay. That was okay. Okay, so that's the last... Do you have one more? That's a family field? No, I think that's just about it. Put it down. That's wonderful. I do have a picture, though, of this band that's playing. The one that's playing right now. Yeah. And we can make that a little bit louder, the audio. Let's listen to the music. Except for the girl singer, I realize. She's not even a picture. She left the band. Oh. Put back in New York, isn't she? Okay, we want to lower the sound just a little. Okay, Bill, what was the name of this band? It's called A Gentle Dance. Okay, and starting with the guy in the black hat? The guy in the black hat is Bill McGinnis. That's you? He's the drummer. Yes. The fellow down in front with the brown hat is Steve Mills. Steve Mills? Yes. The lead singer and the living guitar. Mike Tisoni, he's a fellow with the long hair in the back. And the rather cherubic face. Yes. He was the youngest. I was the oldest, but I think when that picture was taken, I was just past the age of being trusted. I think I was 30 at that time. What did he do in band? Oh, he was a baseball player. The gentleman at the corner with the love beads. And that's David Ayala. He was also a singer. Mike was the only one that didn't sing. We tried to get him to sing, he never would. And then there was another girl singer in the band? Her name was Christina Joy. And she's still around. Yeah. And amazingly enough, all these people are still alive. That's pretty good. Mike Tisoni went back to Tennessee with Steve Gaskin. And Steve Mills is probably someplace floating around in the Pacific on a boat. Right. What year was this photo? Would you say approximately? This was... Bring us to the right decade and then we'll sort of see. This was 68. 69. 68, 69. 68 or 69. Great. Wonderful. And again, the name of the band was... A gentle dance. A gentle dance. Okay. And my tape just went on the floor. It's okay. We will get it. I brought this because I was living in the Haight-Ashbury 1962. At 704 Ashbury. Wonderful. And I had a wonderful garret. And that was my view. Oh, that's wonderful. Out doing the garret. That's wonderful. I was taking a course in... Just a survey course in... Sure. In parts. Sure. Because I had to take something. Sure. Some elective. And it was a great course. And the instructor said, well, let's go home. Look out your window and paint what you see. Yeah. And that's what I saw. That's wonderful. The sun was sort of going down. So that's the view from your house. And the address you lived at was... Again. 704 Ashbury. 704 Ashbury. Yeah. That's amazing. And then 1962. That was between what streets? You remember? It was... Just up... The paint handle? Well, no. Waller. Waller. Okay. It was right off of Waller. Gotcha. I should go up the hill. It was wonderful. Well, Grateful Dead was at 710, I think. That's right. Yeah. Do you still paint once in a while? Or are you artistic at all? Oh, once in a while. Once in a while. Yeah, I get an urge to throw paint and paper. That's wonderful. If you were to be remembered in the future when this tape is being viewed, if you were in the future being remembered for your music, do you consider you play more than one instrument? What instruments do you play? No, in public I play drums. That's it. Yeah. And sing a little bit. Yes. I have in the past played clarinet, saxophone, flute. Although I haven't done that in probably 40 years. Right. We didn't have one for you. Yeah. Oh, you love that. And if somebody asks what's the spectrum of the music you play, what kind of music have you played in your life in the past, in the early days, in the middle, and what kind of music are you playing now? Well, I play just about everything that I can think of. I can play classical music. I studied classical music, of course. I played with the Oakland Symphony, played with the San Francisco Symphony, played with, well, actually it wasn't with the San Francisco Symphony. It was members of the San Francisco Symphony. Sure. It was on the Music of Viva series, and I played tape recorder. Because I was associated with the San Francisco tape music center. Sure. And I've done things with them, I've done electronic music kinds of things in the early days with the development of, like, the book alone, and the move synthesizers and such things. Sure. That, I mean, of course, it was developed... It was the beginning of all of it. It was at the film orontory of all places. What happened now? Well, Don Bullclub used to bring in his synthesizers, and the dead had some of the bookless synthesizers that were candy apple red. Right. And the myth was that the candy apple was impregnated with LSD and it chipped it off. You could eat it. Well, it was nonsense, but... So what year was that about? Did that at the time work? That was in the beginning. That's when, during the time when Chad Helms and Bill Graham were alternating. Avalon, Fillmore, Avalon, Fillmore. Well, no, it was not Avalon, Fillmore, it was Fillmore, Fillmore, but one week it was Chad Helms, and the next week it was Bill. At the Fillmore. At the Fillmore. It had to be before they signed the contract, so Bill had signed the contract. Right. To rent it permanently, but in the year before, played with a few different promoters. Right, and he was doing benefits for the main troops. Right. And the Howard Street loft. Yeah. And then it went down there. Exactly. To the Fillmore. Exactly. And there was also the Trips Festival. Exactly. Which is where we got involved with the workflow machines and so on. But getting... So that was pre-65. That was? Well, it had to be... Yeah, okay. When was it? It had to be 65, 64. Yeah. Because Bill signed late in 65. Yes. But the airplane show was the first show of his own. Right. Yes. So that's really early. And about that time, he was also doing the benefits for the Montreux. Right, and it was airplane. Yeah. And the first one that I did with Bill was the airplane, the Quicksilver messenger service, the Gentleman's Band. Sounds right. It was the Gentleman's Band, and it was a black rhythm of blues band. Uh-huh. Local. And then after that, they hardly ever showed up. Okay. That's the habit of taking different styles of music and putting them on the same bill. Yep. You know? So, what is your favorite kind of music to play? Usually what I'm playing at the moment. Really? Yeah, my favorite kind of music to play is music where the other players... I like ensemble. Yes, like work with other musicians. Care about what they're doing. That's all I care about. If they care about what they're doing enough to do very highest quality performance, I love it. Right. It doesn't matter what it is. It enables you to go... Right. ...as the drummer. And it's... I've played with Klesmer bands. Yeah. I've played with Country Western, and I've played with... What are some of the people... Have you played with anybody through the very beginning that we would know their name? Well, when I was working for the San Francisco Tate Music Center, there was another technician, engineer, guy that I knew more about. Peter the Blanc. And Peter had a girlfriend by the name of Janice. And she used to come by and sing a little bit. So that's where I met Janice Joplin. Peter could play blues and the key of C on the piano. That was about it. But Janice... Wow. Janice is wonderful. What was your impression when you pushed her in her voice and she came in? This is a pre-big brother, right? Right about... Actually, this was... Janice kind of got a little spacey and went back to Texas. Right. And it was before that. Right. So she... Janice had brought her out. Yeah. Here. Yeah, and she went back to Texas, got straightened out and came back out. Then that's when the big brother came here. Right. And that's when... She was just playing for her, singing from the heart. Yeah. She was wonderful. She was amazing. She was... She's the only... She could... I swear she could sing two notes at once. Exactly. She really could sing two notes at once. Exactly. You know, it was the first time I ever heard her do that. Exactly. So that's a wonderful experience.  Right. Right. You know, I... In the old days, I worked with a lot of guys. Like with Jan. I played jazz. Sure. I worked with Wiggy Mendoza. I played with Norma Ticoard and Jack Ticoard and his sister for years. And with Bert Bale, who's an MPL player, pretty well known here. Sure. And actually, I wish I could... I should have made a list. That's okay. We can add to this, you know? Yeah, add to this. There's a lot of times, somebody says, we don't have a drummer. Can you come and help play for the night? Yeah. It doesn't... Well, what happened, Lightning Hopkins. Lightning Hopkins, sure. I was playing with a traditional jazz group over in Berkeley. Sure. At... I had the name of the place with us, but... That's fine. It was way before the Frayden Salmonage. And lightning was also on the bill with us. And his drummer didn't show up. So he said, can you... Can you somehow do it? Yeah, I'll do it. So, because I'd heard a lot of his recordings, and I said, I stuck to him like blue. Boy, I tell you, he'd phrase blues, like, you know, it's usually 12 bars, but he'd phrase 13, 9, 11. Amazing. You know, he'd speed up, he'd stop, and slow down.  Go on. Well, that's why you're here. Okay.  He says, go loosen up a little bit. Go loosen up a little. Go loosen up. Here. Shows his gallon of wine in my... Make a slug of that, you know. So I hit that. Yeah, I have another one, you know. Get loose, man. Get loose. Get loose. The second show we did, I was beating me to the end of the tune every time. The last one you know, it was... Hey!  That was amazing. That was amazing. I know you put some other music. I would love to hear something else you brought. Maybe tell us a little about it as you're putting it in the machine. Okay. This particular tape, I did. And... I wore two to one to visit Darrow. I've got a cute upper. I'm getting it in the machine. It's called Flight Suite. And I did it the night that the first Brooklyn machine was delivered in 1965. Early 65. And I was... This thing was wonderful. Right. We could do things with it that would take us forever. Months to two. Cutting tape, splicing, doing all that stuff. We could just do it. Just do it. And so... So you're playing on here. Is there anybody else on the tape beside yourself? No, I'm just telling you. I'm just running the machine. You could program this, though. Okay, let's see how much time we have to do this. See if I can get the problem. I probably got it wrong. I do. That's right. No problem. No problem. So this machine was a very new machine. And I remember that. It wasn't even complete. Right. So here's a very early tape using this technology. But I am playing the keyboard. Yeah. Another... Do you have another tape? I want to make sure we can continue talking. Do you bring another tape with you? There's some that follow us. We just did a retrospective of the synthesis that tape music centered people at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Detroit. New York. And we didn't do this piece, but it was the same group. Sure. With Morton Separte, Anthony Martin, Ramon Sendair, Paulie Oliveros, and they... We really had a lot of fun. We did an old piece, and then we did it... Well, it's the pioneer days of this type of technology. It is. Wayne has developed now in 2005. It's actually the transitions here between how the avant-garde electronic music was done, say, with people like Scott House and then Boulez and had done this stuff before with John Cage. Sure. Of course, Cage worked with us, too. He was there. He did concerts with people. Sure. And so that was... It was quite a time. It's amazing. The transition between... It's just amazing, you know. Of course, Cage predicted it. He said people will make music using film, using, you know, the sound script of a film. Sure. Now they do it through computers. But he didn't know about tape. Right. Because tape hadn't been invented yet. Right. How long came tape? He said, oh, that's it. That's what we'll use, because it's so easy to cut and splice. Totally. I want to talk a little bit about you can either make this lower or we can put the other one back on. No, it's okay. I want to talk a little bit about the Hade Ashbury. Yeah, I'm about to explain to you that. Well, it's all about it. And it leads into it. When you were in Hade Ashbury, I heard you used to rehearse at the Strait Theater. Yes. And can you tell me a little bit about had you ever played at the Strait or been at any of the Golden Gate Park events? Well, I was there at the Golden Gate Park events, but I didn't want to. So you've seen the magnitude of people that came around everywhere. But I actually didn't play at the Strait Theater. Rehearsed there. We rehearsed there all the time. So how did that work out? How many people did you rehearse with? And which band was that? That was a band that never got a name. I think it was kind of a no-name band. It's always part of it is naming a band. Yeah, but it was Greg, the guy's name was Greg Hodel, and he was putting this band together. He had a girlfriend that was a singer who had been in Miss California or right after Miss California from Monterey or something. But the Strait Theater, they let you come in with other bands rehearse there another time? There wasn't anything happening there. During the daytime. During the daytime. Do you remember who it was? He spoke to you at the screen? Well, it was Reggie. Reggie, right, one of the founders. He was there. It was his name, Hillel Brejner. Yeah, but Swipe was there later on. Luther Green. Luther Green, yeah. But I knew Swipe from the tape center because he used to work with Anthony Martin at the tape center. And then, what was his name? A tech guy that was at the Strait Theater. A tech guy. I don't know, we've done some interviews with people from... Dangerfield? Yes, it is, Dangerfield. Is it with a B? Yeah. Yes, Dangerfield was his name. He did all the electric on it, the audio meeting and all this kind of stuff. He was a tech guy. So what are you doing now in your life? What are you living now? I'm living in San Francisco. I'm playing mostly jazz and a lot of jazz festivals. Mostly jazz festivals. Where do these take place? At the end of the month, we're doing the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee. What is your band called now? It's called Golden Gate Rhythm Machine. And I'm working with several other bands too. What's their name up here? The Apollo Jazz Group, which plays at Jellies once a month. Sure. On Saturdays. Any other bands? Yeah. Bob Shelton's Frisco Jazz Band once in a while. Magnolia Jazz Band. And then everybody else who has the phone. Sure. Do you have a website that we can learn more about? Yeah, the website that we have for Golden Gate Rhythm Machine. For you? Yeah, I don't have a personal one. But you can Google me and I'll come up. Sure, beautiful. And if someone is watching this tape and they want to learn more about you and your band, where would they go? www.santhony.it'soneword.com slash ggrm. I think that's probably backslash. Either way, try both. Try both. If you looked up William McGuinness or Bill McGuinness. If you just go look up Bill McGuinness, you'll probably get me and my father. That's right. That's the revolutionary way in the state of Jefferson. I think it's amazing coming from that kind of background. I'm so pleased that you came today. We got a little piece of history that we didn't have. I'm going to learn more about you and you being part of the scene contributed to this whole period. And sharing with us some of the technology and music and development. It's just clear to me how so many people made the 60s and the Haight-Ashbury and the family stayed there and they grew further and further. And the only way to inspire people in the future when they see this is by watching other people's lives and being inspired by what they've done. So I want to thank you. My name is Rebecca Nichols. I'm the moderator and I'd love to thank you for this interview. We will be calling you back and we will document some more things. And just want to tell you thank you so much for being here. Thank you for sharing your life.


So I checked Twitter this morning and I see this tweet, would love to see John Boyd do a breakdown of the Chattanooga Lookouts Walkoff Championship. Here we go, Jay Rod. We got a tie game or down one. I don't know what it was, but he sends that small white ball into the dark night. Is there anything more beautiful than watching a ball disappear into the dark night sky? I love it.   Like number 23 witnessed the miracle. Look at that. They cannot believe it. I don't know the context, but this was unreal. There's some real good stuff. The catcher and the first base coach, so glad they found you.   A lot of claps there. This hat, I've never seen a hat thrown this high in the sky. I've never seen a hat thrown that high into the night sky. Watch this hat going up, going up, going up, still going up. Are you kidding me?  Go outside and practice. You won't be able to do that. I promise you. That's an adrenaline filled hat toss if you've ever seen one. Oh, tasteful nips. Here we go. Brace yourselves. The water spills and the jumping is back on. Everyone's caps. We're probably tired the next day. I guarantee you. I like these guys. I think they're the ball boys. They're like, they want to be involved, but they're like, well, we can't go in there, huh? Okay, let's go. Let's go. Good job, guys. Cameraman's gonna throw some fist bumps, but he keeps that left hand steady. Good job by him. And we're still jumping. Still jumping, still jumping. Still got some jumps going.


Today, I'm going to tell you the top 10 yielding dividends in the S&P 500. I'm Zeke and welcome to the Dream Green Show. Let's get into it. Welcome back to the Dream Green Show. Today I'm going to tell you the top 10 yielding dividends that's in the S&P 500, not just the top 10 performing companies that's in the S&P 500, or the best performing dividend companies that's in the S&P 500. But I'm just going to specifically be talking about the top 10 yielding dividends, which ones have the highest yield that's in the S&P 500. And I'm going to list all 10 of them starting from 1 through 10. So you want to stick all the way through the end of video so you guys can figure out which ones do you want to invest in this year in 2020. But before we get into those top 10, what is the S&P 500? The S&P 500 is the index of 500 companies, large cap companies. It's 500 US exchange companies and it tracks the performance of these stocks. It's considered to many to be one of the best representations of the US stock market. The average annual return of this index is 9.2% a year, all the way from 1926. So basically that is what the S&P 500 is, it's 500 companies, large cap companies that pretty much shows how the US stock market is represented, okay? So these companies do have a pretty big name to them. So it won't be any penny stocks inside the S&P 500. Some of these stocks pays dividends, some of these stocks are growth stocks. But today here goes the top 10 highest yielding dividends that's inside the S&P 500. And the first one we have here is measurements. It's coming in at a whopping 9.0% dividend yield. This is the top yielding stock that is in the S&P 500, Ticosumal MAC. This is a mall read, it's specialized in town squares with major flagship stores, preferably in higher income areas. It has 51 million square feet of gross, leisureable area across 52 properties so that the typical property is close to a million square feet. Think about the size of around 500 houses. An example of one of these properties is Eastland Mall in the Innsville, India. It's right around a million square feet with over 100 stores including JCPenney's, Dillard's, and Macy's. One thing that investors should keep in mind is what comes when you buy REAP, including that they have to pay 90% of their taxable income as dividends to receive special tax status. That means the measurements have to pay out 90% of their taxable income to pay out their dividends so that they can receive their special tax status. In addition, brick and mortar retailers, closures, or bankruptcies in higher interest rates could negatively affect measurements. So that's the number one highest yielding stock that is in the S&P 500 by dividend yields. Not the best company in the S&P 500, but it's the highest yielding stock. Number two would be CenturyLink, Ticosumal CTL. It comes in right under 9% at 8.6% dividend yield. CenturyLink is a major U.S. telecom that grew over the past decade with acquisitions including QS and Level 3 communications. It serves both businesses and residential customers. The combination of a leveraged balance sheet, i.e. high debt levels and revenue growth challenges in areas like landline voices and have seen a stock price fall fairly stately in the past few years is around a quarter of where it was five years ago. So like I was saying earlier, just because they're the highest yielding dividend stocks in the S&P 500 doesn't make them the best growth stocks in the S&P 500, but it do have a whopping dividend yield of 8.6% that you know that you're going to receive every dividend payment. If you're a dividend investor, these top stocks in the S&P 500 might be a good look for you. Coming in at number three is Iron Mountain, a little bit under 8%. This one is coming in at 7.9% Iron Mountain. Iron Mountain services are less well known than many other names on this list, but over 90% of the Fortune 1000 uses Iron Mountain. As Iron Mountain puts it, the company focused on strong, protecting, and managing information and assets. For the most part, that means shredding documents or storing documents, but it also gets its data into storage and can even brag about storing Frank Sonata's master's record. Wow. So they store Frank Sonata's master's record. Just like Merchant, Iron Mountain is also a reaper. Coming in at number four, Macy's. Coming in at a whopping 7%, 7.0%. Macy's has 800 plus brick and mortar locations under its namesake brand Bloomingdale and specialty stores like Blooming Curry. What efforts by management like to make Macy's Omni Channel? Basically what they're saying is they're trying to make it grow online sales. Its trailing 12 months revenue is lower today than it was in 2007. That said, Macy's is still profitable and is being proactive about making asset sales and making most of the real estate holdings. When dealing with a business facing industrial decline, the last thing you want is management that bury its heads in the sand. Bulls can take heart that Macy's management appear proactive and is working with a profit that results in a low PE ratio and a nice size dividend. So everyone know the online market is becoming very, very big and these brick and mortar stores are taking a big hit, but Macy's is also trying to sell a lot of their stuff online and they're adapting to that situation even though that they have been on the decline in the last couple of years. Coming in at number 5 would be Autea. Marlboro Cigarettes maker Autea has been a unbelievable great dividend stock over the last decade. Today it faces continuing lower volume as the health effects of tobacco and smoking dissuade more and more people. Yes, its dollar sales has been fairly steady over the past few years since addictive products have strong pricing power. Autea has also bought itself opportunity with large stakes in e-cigarettes producer Jewel and cannabis companies Chronos. That is especially true when you consider that Autea's brand power in distribution network can do to boost those operations. Coming in at number 6 with a dividend yield of 6.3% is Occidental Petroleum. Occidental has made many headlines for its pending $38 billion acquisition of N-Darco Petroleum. It's a big bet. Notice that it's roughly the size of Occidental market cap and one it had to outbid Chevron for about $5 billion to win. It's also been complicated and messy. To afford the deal, Occidental needed $10 billion in financing from Warren Buffett, Brickenshare, Hathaway and a side deal with Total to sell $8.8 billion of Accardo assets. It's likely both Brickenshare and Total got good deals from my motivated Occidental. Meanwhile, activists, investors and Occidental shareholders Carl Achan has been complaining and looking to boost its influence on the board of directors. On the organic side, Occidental has been lowering its cost structures to the point that it thinks it could fund its non-Arcardo operations and pay its dividends of all you averages only $40 per barrel. Even if we assume these estimates are accurate and acquisitions this large can have many hard to predict effects both positive and negative. Coming in at number 7, Nielsen with a dividend yield of 6.3%. Although well known for its self-named TV ratings and other audience measurements, Nielsen has problems growing its top line in recent years. With its share price already sliding from a couple of years, last summer Nielsen announced it was seeking strategic options. In other words, it's been open to selling parts of itself or the whole enchilada. Potential investors, especially those looking to buy and hold a high yielder for years, should factor in all of these uncertainties into their decision making. Coming in at number 8, one of my favorite companies on this list, one of my favorite companies in the S&P 500, it would be AT&T. It has a high dividend yield of 6.2%. Unlike CenturyLeak, AT&T is a major telecom that makes this top 10 dividend list. However, unlike CenturyLeak, AT&T is quite profitable and seemingly stable. It has both mobile and land operations as well as acquisitions to Direct TV in 2015 and more recently Time Warner, which is now Warner Media. With both content and distributions in hand, AT&T promises to be a formidable player no matter how things shake out. Coming in at number 9 is Abbey, with a dividend yield of 6.1%. Abbey is yet another company in the middle of an M&A event. It recently announced its agreement to buy fellow drug market Algren for about $63 billion. A combination with diversified Abbey sales currently, more than half of adjusted sales come from an anti-inflammatory treatment, Humorap, the world's number one drug in 2018. However, Humorap and Botox, Algren's top seller, face fortune competitive about a patent cliff or a potential superior alternative, respectively. Someone could consider Abbey stock should think through both the effects of the massive combination of the long-term valuability of Abbey's combined portfolio and pipeline. And number 10 would be Invesco. Coming in with a 6.1%, Invesco is an asset manager with over $1 trillion in assets under management. Its well-known funds include variations of its Invesco branding, as well as its recently acquired Oprah-Hemrean funds. Profitability has been a strong suit for Invesco over the years. It's been consistent with strong profit margins currently 15%. On the flip side, outside of the acquisitions, revenue growth can be a challenge, especially as a competition with the asset management industry and increases consumer awareness drives fees lower. That is Invesco coming in at a 6.1% dividend yield. And there you go guys, that is the top 10. My favorite would probably be AT&T and I might look into one of those REITs so I could get some of those dividend payments added into my Ribbon Hood portfolio. I used to Ribbon Hood portfolio, the link is down in the description. If you sign up, I get a free stock and you get a free stock and just leave a comment down in the comment section on what free stock did you receive. You can receive all the way up to like an Apple stock of $500 stock. But be warned that not all of those companies that have those super high dividends are great investments for the long term. I'm going to stick with AT&T, it's already in my portfolio and I'm planning on buying more in the future. If you want to keep up with my portfolio, just go down, hit the thumbs up button and hit the subscribe button so you can see how I grow my portfolio in the future. But other than that, I'm Zeke bringing you the Dream Green show and I'm out, peace.


Yes, I'm alive. I survived the Trump video. You didn't get to me. You're not going to make more videos. My name is Sal Baknin. I'm the author of Malignancy of Love. Narcissism revisited the Bible of Narcissism, the book that coined all the language in use today. I'm also a professor of psychology. Two days ago, I released a video about the way constructs reshape reality, reframe your memories in order to uphold and to buttress and to support a specific self state, which is responsive to environmental cues. Now this was a mouthful, so I'll remind you. The environment sends you stimuli. The environment provides information and data. A specific self state is selected. The self state activates a construct. The construct interfaces with reality, gathers the information, filters it, reframes it in order to conform to the self state. And then the construct also changes your memory. It kind of represses some memories, emphasizes other memories, creates a selective memory environment. So it alters the perception of reality, it alters your memories, and then it induces in you behaviors that tend to uphold the self state. This is done via introjects. The introjects are internal voices in your head that send out a stream of automatic thoughts. The constructs activate, trigger specific introjects, then the automatic thoughts shape your behavior. And you create, in the environment, you create to generate specific outcomes, your behavior as consequences. And these outcomes or consequences tend to support, to uphold, to provide the self state and its associated constellation of constructs. I recommend that you watch this video. There's a lot more there. It's a one hour video, one of my shortest. But many of you have written to me to ask, can you give me, can you give us an example? Can you give us an example of how this works in reality? So today I'm going to do exactly this. You are warned. Today I'm going to discuss how this mechanism works with people pleasers and with children, adults who had been parentified as children. And so these people have specific automatic thoughts. These automatic thoughts are at the core of the identity of people pleasers and formerly parentified children. What are these automatic thoughts? Well, here they are. Number one, my happiness is always at someone else's expense. I call it the zero sum automatic thought. If you're happy, someone else is unhappy. Your happiness is someone else's sacrifice. Your contentment, your joy, your cheer is someone else's distress or burden. So there's a zero sum game. If you love people, if you like people, if you want to please people, if you feel that you are someone's mother or someone's daddy figure, you are going to withhold your happiness. You're going to suppress your joy and cheer and contentment in order not to inflict undue burdens, sacrifices and unhappiness on your nearest and dearest. That is automatic thought number one. And it comes from an introject or a group of introjects.  Okay, the second automatic thought at the core of people pleasing and formerly parentified children is, I have to earn my happiness. I don't deserve happiness. I have to work hard for it. I have to justify it. I have to demonstrate that happiness is due, is my due. Happiness is not an ambient thing. Happiness is not something that everyone around me should strive to provide me for. Happiness is not something I should pursue. Because if I pursue happiness, it isn't someone else's expense. Happiness is hard work. So these people identify happiness with tasks, with assignments, with labor. The busier they are, the more difficult life is, the more onerous the tasks, the more they have to do, the happier they feel. Because, surely, having invested so much work, happiness is coming to me. So these people would tend to become, for example, workaholics. They would tend to develop addictions, a variety of addictions. Addiction is perceived by the addict as work. You ask any junkie and he will tell you how much work there is in securing the drug and then using the drug and so on and so forth. Addiction involves ceremonies, routines. Addiction creates a social circle around the addict. So addiction is an organizing principle, a life-structuring affirmation. And these people, people pleases and formally parentify children, they tend to become addicts because the addiction is perceived as labor, hard labor. And toil is the prerequisite and the antecedent of happiness. There's no happiness without toil. It's a little like in the Bible, you know, when Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, God promised them a life of toil compensated for by giving birth to children. Okay, happiness, including childbearing and childrearing. You have to work for it. You have to earn it and deserve it. Number three, automatic thought. Number three, somehow I have to bribe people. I have to bribe people around me. I have to somehow corrupt them by offering them something. I have to compensate them for being with me. I have to bribe people to stay with me. I have to bribe people to collaborate with me. I have to co-opt people to help me. I have to make sure that people tolerate me because they give them something in return.  I'm unworthy, I'm unlovable, I'm crazy, I'm inadequate, I'm disolute, I'm hopeless and so on and so forth. I am so, I am such a bad deal. I'm such a delinquent proposition that for people to have anything to do with me, they somehow must be given something in return, must be compensated. So this is the third automatic negative automatic thought. And the fourth automatic thought is I need to compromise. Life is a compromise. I need to compromise on my boundaries. I need to give up my rights. I need to do all this because of the previous three automatic thoughts. I'm unworthy, my happiness is always at the expense of someone and I have to earn my happiness. So I need to give up on boundaries, on rights, on demands, on expectations. I can't force myself on the environment. I need to minimize myself. I need to minimize myself to the point of vanishing. I need to be an apparition. I need to become a function. I can't be a full-fledged human being because if I'm a full-fledged human being, this in itself is a burden on other people. This in itself requires an exertion of other people just to accept me. I'm inexorable. I'm a plague and a devastation. I need to keep myself hidden or count in a way. These are the automatic thoughts at the core of people pleasing, at the core of formerly parentified children. These automatic thoughts pervade all areas of life, all types of functioning, all acts, all decisions and choices, all cognitions and all emotions. In sex, for example, someone with this mindset would allow her partner to do anything to her. Even a casual partner. Even a total stranger. She would have no boundaries. She would let him do anything he pleases. She would not dare say no. Because in her mind, she has no right to say no. If she were to say no, she would make the partner angry justifiably. She would deserve punishment because she's a bad object. So she would succumb to unwanted sex with an undesirable partner because that's just the way it is. She doesn't deserve any better. She has no rights. She doesn't have even the right to impose a boundary. It's nice of him to just be with her and give her some attention. And this is in sex. In the family, such a person would be a doormat. She would cater to the needs of others to the point of self-depletion and utter exhaustion. She would sacrifice her health, physical and mental, just to guarantee harmony, consensus. These people are conflict averse. These automatic thoughts are co-opted by the constructs. The constructs within these people, the construct inherent in these people, they activate. They trigger specific introjects. For example, the harsh mommy introject, or the rejecting absent daddy introject, or the critical teacher introject. So the constructs within these people, they would trigger specific introjects. And these introjects will spew out, will generate the aforementioned four automatic thoughts. So the constructs activate the introjects. The introjects begin to generate automatic thoughts. Your happiness isn't someone else's expense. You have to earn your happiness. You don't deserve it.  These are the automatic thoughts. The constructs latch onto these automatic thoughts, appropriate them, snatch them, and they use them to manipulate the environment, the behavior. I'm sorry. They use these automatic thoughts generated by the introjects. The constructs use them to manipulate or affect the behaviors of the people-pleaser and the formerly parentified child. People-pleasing and formerly parentified child, these are the self-states. So the people-pleaser has a people-pleasing self-state, which then uses a group of constructs, which then activates specific introjects, which then generate the automatic thoughts, which then affect the behaviors of the people-pleaser and the formerly parentified child. I hope it's a bit clearer now. You can apply it to every situation and every person you've ever met. This is a universal model, a self-state responsive to the environment, a self-state responsive to circumstances, a self-state responsive to other people. This self-state selects constructs. Constructs are ways of organizing the world. Constructs are ways of imbuing the world with sense and meaning, interpreting the world, explaining what's happening. So the constructs falsify memory, reframe memory, and they also suppress lots of information. Information that conflicts with the self-state, challenges the self-state, will be filtered out. The construct is like a membrane. And then these constructs would affect your behavior, affect the behavior of these people to conform to the self-state. They do this by activating introjects and flooding the subject, flooding the person with automatic thoughts. Automatic thoughts affect behavior, behavior affects reality, reality conforms to the self-state, everyone is happy, there's no dissonance, no conflict, no anxiety. This is how things work.  Next time you come across these people, realize that these are self-states, they have other self-states. When they are in the people-pleasing self-state, the promiscuous never say no self-state. The parentifying self-state, when they are in these self-states, they have specific constructs inside that activates specific introjects that flood them with automatic thoughts that they cannot resist. These automatic thoughts are like programming, like algorithms, at that moment the self-state takes over and the person becomes a puppet, a machine, a robot, a computer. We spend most of our lives in this automatic state, which is why many philosophers and psychologists and neuroscientists doubt the existence of free will. I have a video dedicated to this. Before giving, because people know not what they are doing.


Trinity Girl Natural. Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. So today I wanted to take a step back from all the fun we've been having with me just paging and just showing you products all over the place. Just take a step back and talk about my hair. I wanted to tell you more about my hair, my texture and most importantly my porosity and just how I manage my porosity. So I'm low porosity so I wanted to come on just share my tips on you know how to moisturize low porosity hair like once you get these tips if you struggle with moisture on your low porosity you should be well on your way. To start off like my hair texture is wiry coarse low porosity high density what else yeah I guess that about covers it. I call myself ultra low low porosity to differentiate from just the regular low porosity because with my hair being coarse I have extracurricular layers my hair being wiry I have extracurricular layers so it's just like low porosity on steroids that would be my hair. Basically wiry hair is where your hair looks really similar wet to dry because it just doesn't really absorb that much water so it never seems to get wet so that's medium of wet state so my hair wet probably counts to this and my hair my hair dry is like this and coarse is where your strand is really thick. Very few people have this kind of texture so it is pretty unique in the natural hair community. So I do have a section of fine hair like just my very nape. The silky strands actually feel like silk and they really clump together and the wiry strands actually feel rough. Texture definitely feel and look more so than curl pattern and I think you can probably see in my videos how and it gets wet at hand a whole lot more. This is a strand of my hair just to show you what I mean. I have two hair patterns like the S shape, O shape. So mine's my S O's at the end. This is one strand of my hair. Again more like an S a little bit of O at the end and again it's very coarse. This is like my really coily O areas in the back and again it's also very coarse. So it's my hair being very resistant to absorbing moisture. If you have trouble absorbing moisture in your hair then this is the video to watch because if I can get moisture in my hair anybody can get moisture in my hair. If you have low porosity, you have a lot of cuticles so they're really low so that it's hard to get moisture in. Low porosity is healthy. It's actually the best because if your cuticles are really sealed then they have room to get a little bit better. You can take more damage in other words. If you already be young to high porosity and if your cuticles are already raised they are the ones that's going to be breaking off and getting damaged more easily. Because your cuticles are already exposed to the ready rubber gets each other and stuff like that. It's easier for your cuticles to get more damage the higher porosity gets and damaged hair has higher porosity because damaged hair is damaged cuticles. Damaged cuticles is raised on missing cuticles raised on missing cuticles is higher porosity. If you look at the top of the diagram you see on the left the low porosity which lies pretty flat. The cuticles are still going to be somewhat open because I mean water still does get in but it lies very flat flat on all the others and then normal cuticles are like somewhat raised and then high porosity the cuticles are very raised. Naturally high porosity would have a fairly even raised cuticle throughout but the other way you can get high porosity is true damage which is the way most people get it because most people are naturally low porosity. When you have high porosity due to damage you have missing cuticles like you can see on the bottom right and you also have broken cuticles as well as cuticles that stay permanently raised. So basically a tree damaged hair is high porosity so if your hair is damaged you should just go forth to treating it as high porosity. So low porosity is good you do not want to change that you want to keep your hair the same low porosity as long as you can but you want to manage it and manage it by gently using heat to the condition gently using humectants to penetrate water and humectants to penetrate rather than using a lot of butter since it I'm just being aware like being aware of okay I have I have a list of actually pH of like everything that I use in my DIY because pH management is also critical to me you don't want to have super high pH stuff because then you damage your hair and you end up with strong able hair.  The main thing in managing low porosity here is just raising your cuticle just enough without causing any permanent damage. Knowing when to gently open the heat knowing how to gently seal with like a lower pH aloe vera juice or cooler water knowing how to use humectants to bind that water into your hair longer I think those are some of the key things to know for low porosity here. Plenty of good warmish water deep conditioning and so on lukewarm water I guess is fine but then you're going to deep after you put a deep conditioner on you're going to go you know plastic cap with the towel over it or hood dryer for like 30 minutes to make sure it penetrates and you can add humectants to your deep conditioner and then you rinse it out. You want to use a very hydrating deep conditioner you want to use a deep conditioner of course water is the first ingredient but it should have a lot of humectants in there glycerin, honey, aloe vera juice, suvado, panthinol those are the kind of ingredients of course any kind of fruit extracts those are the kind of ingredients you definitely want in your deep conditioner and you want higher in your deep conditioner. I distinguish between hydrating and moisturizing hydrating is where you get that water into your hair like that's the main thing the water into your hair. Moisturizing you have water in your hair or you get water into your hair but you also get like ph balancing ingredients like aloe vera juice to help seal the cuticle and seal the water in as well as humectants on penetrating oils and mild proteins that penetrate the strand to again help trap that water in so moisturizing is actually retaining that hydration that's when your hair is moisturized. When you oil your hair without using a leave-in first the cuticles tend to stay more raised allowing more water to escape so you retain less moisture so no water is not the L in the LCO or LOC method a ph balancing liquid is the L. Basically deep conditioning you want something very hydrating and also helps you retain moisture. If your deep conditioner isn't the best so if you want to give it an extra oomph you can add like honey, oils, glycerin, molasses, coconut milk, pumpkin like whatever goodies you have in the house. What I usually do is like make a little DIY deep conditioner of just stuff around the house. If I banana wind out before I can eat it it goes in the freezer for my deep conditioner and I just halve back a little DIY deep conditioner stash so if I'm using deep conditioner that's kind of subpar I would mix in some. If I happen to be doing a DIY challenge or feel like it I would just use that alone with the DIY one on my hair for my deep conditioner.  You pay $10 or something for some shea moisture something and a lot of it isn't I mean it helps your hair but a lot of it isn't the stuff to hydrate low porosity hair. So water, castor seed oil, sterile alcohol, satin alcohol, banchemonium chloride, shea butter, coconut oil those are the first five ingredients they both take and none of that was really stuff that's super penetrating. One of that was like the buttery stuff to put on top but you didn't I hadn't gone with syringe honey anything like that yet. So you can make your own little DIY mix with just good stuff basically. Other than the deep conditioning during the moisturizing process is another great time to be aware of your low porosity. So for example for me I used to just do I used to rinse with cold water first off and many of the products that I used seemed to leave out like a white glaze on my hair it wasn't like build up or flex it was like a glazed donut kind of white look where the product just didn't get in there at all. I started rinsing with lukewarm water and that really helped my product to absorb my hair and not just sit on my hair. You don't really need to go to cold water if you're low porosity you never really need to see cold water which I guess is good right definitely makes the shower more fun or the experience more fun if you're freezing yourself.  I don't do lco often but if I'm doing cream I do lco so after you're leaving if you're going to do a cream then you apply your cream then you oil your ends. So oil your whole hair however you do it not too much oil you shouldn't be dripping with oil but you know you just put a few drops in your hand or your hands to get there and oil as much as you want. Also I add aloe vera juice but after I add my leaving and my cream and so on so if you want to add aloe vera juice and if you think you don't like aloe vera juice what you may need to do is add your moisture first before adding aloe vera juice which has a ph of like four and tends to seal your curicles even more and then you you know put your gel if you're going to finish your washing work that's what you're doing or twist it that's what you're doing. In terms of midweek if you're ultra low porosity you don't really want to be doing a full lco every other day it's just going to start to sit on your hair and give you a build up and it's not really going to moisturize. So what I do for my ultra low porosity hair is I have a spray bottle I actually have one made right now I can just show you this one probably is just water and I have a spray bottle like this but I have like water like maybe this much water a squeeze or two of leaving I'm gonna just I just happened to have this up my she says a cooker was leaving a squeeze or two of something like that although most likely I wouldn't use one I love I love this I'll use something that didn't quite work that well for me in my spray bottle because it can still moisturize even if it doesn't work perfectly on its own for like freshly deep conditioned hair and a squeeze or two of like my oil mix I use my penetrating oil mix which is like olive avocado with a little bit of castor and I shake it up and like midweek I would just you know spritz my hair shake it up to kind of distribute the moisture and that's about it like that's usually all I do but because I wash my face and my hairline get kind of soaked and stuff like that I reapply some leaving to my edges just to make sure that that stay moisturized and then my crown just to keep it moisturizing stuff I may apply some leaving up there like just this one little spot right here so any place that tends to get dry or any place that's fragile any place that's exposed to sun or soap or something like that midweek after you do your spritz you can apply a little bit of leaving so the spritz actually does two things the water helps to open your cuticles so that's why you spritz you don't just apply product and the water helps to hydrate and then the leaving and the oil helps to moisturize so that's it I mean basically you can live that life you don't have to do anything more but the extras are the clear treatment every I'm going to live every three months but I think like every three months every six weeks every couple months the clay tends to have a higher pH so you do balance it out the side of vinegar and so but it still has a bit of a higher pH so it might be that time to gently get some moisture in so if you look at my video with the my clay mix my diy clay mix I took that opportunity to put in some coconut milk to put in some honey put in some aloe vera juice and just while the cuticles are a little bit raised just zappered with moisture so it's a time you can do that of course it's not going to work if you just do back in my clay and water like some people do which is crazy crazy at least at the very least you want to bring the pH down then nightly apple cider vinegar and water but it's also a great time to throw in your moisturizers for a nice moisturizing treatment every few weeks every six weeks three months whatever so that was it those are my key tips on managing low porosity here and also how I personally manage my low porosity here thanks for watching I hope this was informative I hope this was fun I hope this was helpful to you if you have ultra low porosity let me know if you have trouble getting products to penetrate let me know of course it helps if you use water soluble curly girl friendly products but I don't use silicones I don't use mineral oils I don't use poly quartz so that definitely helps in terms of stopping or to penetrate my hair easily but if you're doing all that and you still have issues definitely let me know in the comments I'm going to see what we can do and if you have high porosity let me know when I can do a video for you I mean I probably might do a video anyway for high porosity even though my personal experience is with ultra low porosity I do study all hair types and all hair textures and I could also give you some tips for high porosity here so if you have high porosity here let me know and I'll do it even sooner if I don't hear from you well I guess I'll do it eventually so that was it guys thanks so much for watching and I will see you in the next one bye


This clip will show you how to ingest multiple CSV files into a single data frame, and I'll use this in other examples to show you how to use custom functions to iterate over data frames as you manage your analysis and workflow. So we're going to start off in the file 01, iterate, ingest, it's an R Markdown file, we're going to open it up in the RStudio project. And then also note that other files in this project file include the data directory, it has a series of files in it, and our goal is to ingest three CSV files that you see listed there in the middle of that screen. So we use the read underscore CSV function, which is part of the reader library, which is part of the tidyverse, and it is a vectorized function. So we'll load both tidyverse and library FS, FS is used for manipulating your file system. And then we'll inline 25, we'll use the dir underscore LS function to list the files in the data directory, that same data directory we just talked about, and specifically the files that end in dot CSV. That will return a vector of three elements. So there's element one, there's element two, and element three, each one of those has been edited by me for brevity, and they're each 1000 line in length CSV files, and we're going to ingest them into one big 3000 line length data frame. So we use read underscore CSV, we can use the first argument of that vector that we just created, and R will automatically, or read underscore CSV will automatically iterate over each one of those elements, and we'll add a variable called ID equals, using the argument ID equals file name, which will create a variable called file name, which will identify each row and the file that it came from, it will ingest an order, so it'll ingest from the first file name, the first 1000 rows, and then so on. As read underscore CSV works, it guesses as to the data types of the variables. So you'll see that there are five variables that are characters, six variables that are double numeric, and two variables that are date time. When we take a look at that data frame, you'll see that it is a 3000 row data frame, and the first variable is the name of the file. So that takes up the first 1000 rows, and then if we take a look at the end of this data frame, just the tail of this data frame, and look at the last six rows, you'll see a different file name listed, and that's from the last 1000 rows, and literally just the last six. Okay, so looking back at the full data frame, you'll notice that R ingested all three of these files into a single data frame and took those educated guesses about the data types for each variable. Now one of the challenges you might run into is that when you ingest multiple files, R will make guesses and sometimes make different guesses for different files and have the same variable name, so you can force that coercion. You can say here that start underscore station underscore ID is a double numeric data type, and that's the data type we would probably want, but just to give you an example, maybe it's some other kind of value and we want them all to be character, we can coerce all of the variables that are start underscore station underscore ID to be character data type, or we can coerce them all to be something else, and that's how you do that, with the argument call underscore types. Okay, so now if I did that and we scroll and we look at start underscore station underscore ID, you can see now the data type is actually listed as a character data type, this handy when you're ingesting multiple files. So that's the setup and we'll talk more about how that kind of operation can be extended to more custom environments.
