Good day fellow investors. Now Warren Buffett is famous for his quotes and there are many many quotes and they are great quotes especially for creating a mental investing mindset. However, not all those quotes should be taken for granted and in this video we'll discuss three quotes that can be considered lies because Warren says one thing but does the other thing. So let's immediately start with the first quote.  So Buffett has been constantly saying that for 50 years now but there is a big difference between what Warren says and what he does. Let's first see what is an easy simple business great business at a great valuation that Warren bought in 1972. In 1972 Warren bought Sees candy for 25 million which is a very very low price when you think that since then so in the what we are 45 years Sees candy earned 1.9 billion in pre-tax earnings so he paid 25 million for 1.9 billion in pre-tax earnings that's an excellent return.   One example is Berkshire's reinsurance business in every letter to shareholders and annual report Buffett spends a ton of words to praise Ajit Jain which is the CEO of Berkshire reinsurance. If we look at this part from Warren Buffett's letter to shareholders we can see that he's saying how he has some terrific managers running disciplined operations that possess hard to replicate business models.  His operations Ajit combines capacity speed decisiveness and most important brains in a manner unique in the insurance business so this is clear how no idiot can run Berkshire reinsurance it has to be a genius so one thing he says the other he does. Another example are Buffett's deals with Free G's Paulo Lehmann. In 2013 they bought Heinz so that was a company with very small margins and then Buffett put in the money and the pub his public face and Lehmann Brazilian investor put his knowledge and operational activity into the company. 11 of the 12 CEOs from Heinz got sacked and thousands of people lost their jobs so Paulo Lehmann improved operation increased margins increased profitability and make that investment work.  The same holds for Buffett's failed acquisition of unilever again low margins stagnating company then they would put in Paulo Lehmann fire all the management that's why the management was opposed to their position and that's why the acquisition didn't go through because the management knew their heads would roll so they were opposed okay and Free G said we are not going to do hostile takeovers that's too complicated nevertheless Paulo Lehmann is a shark and he knows his business so Buffett simply says okay that's not me or he used to comment about behind's acquisition that that's simple how capitalism works you have to fire people you have to make things more efficient that's true but he leaves the dirty work to others so it's not really that idiots can run his investments very very smart people dedicated people run his investments so the takeaway from the first quote is find companies with great amazing management and sell them when something changes there are no more businesses that can be run by idiots in this environment competition technology everything is moving so fast you need excellent management you need people that are capable that know what they're doing and that are dedicated to their business so that's the first Warren Buffett lie second let's say lie or misunderstanding is the first rule of investing according to Buffett is never lose money second rule is look again rule number one okay I say never lose money but I think the investment population doesn't understand really what Buffett wants to say if we take a look at a 52 year performance on Berkshire Highway you see two measures the first column is the book value of Berkshire and in 52 years only two years 2001 and 2008 have been negative however the market value of Berkshire's stock has had 11 negative years the same as the SAP 500 so what Buffett wants to say with not losing money is not losing book value book value he doesn't care about market moves the market will always be volatile and you have to take advantage of that however losing money is investing there where there is risk of permanent capital loss or inadequate returns on earnings on fundamentals Buffett doesn't care that much about what the market is doing so don't think that you are not allowed to lose 10 20 percent or even 50 percent in a year Buffett lost 50 twice in market value however the book value stayed stable so that's a difference that many don't understand Buffett is not afraid to lose market value he's afraid and focused on book value a big difference the third thing Warren Buffett does differently than what he says is that he has been saying for the past 50 years that he doesn't care what the Fed is doing and that if he would knew what the Fed will do tomorrow that wouldn't change his investment strategy now that was good for 50 years because the Fed's influence on the stock market was minimal when there was a recession the Fed would lower interest rates when everything was good interest rates would immediately shoot out so it was a balancing mechanism that was worked well for 50 70 years however since 2008 the Fed increased in its balance sheet up normally in order to stabilize the financial world you can see here how correlated is the SAP 500 with the Fed's balance sheet in blue practical perfect correlation since 2009 so it's certainly no coincidence that the stock market is up three times and Fed's balance sheet is up five times you see here that from 2000 to 2008 the Fed's balance sheet was really growing slowly in order to keep enough money into the system since then it exploded so up to 2008 it was okay not to care about what the Fed is doing but since then I think Buffett is watching and we have to watch what the Fed is doing and try to position ourselves to at least hedge the risks of what's going on how is Buffett hedging himself for the risks well he has 100 billion in cash he never had so much money in cash and he's piling piling that cash which means he's preparing himself for something he's preparing himself for bargains and the bargains will come when interest rates increase when interest rates increase he will be helping those companies that go bankrupt buying them with preferred shares on the chip so buying options on their future stock prices while getting huge returns on his money he's waiting he might wait another year five years ten years he doesn't care he knows that that will give the highest return on that 100 billion buying a company now okay if it's really a good one a complicated one like Sergio Paolo Lehmann injecting his knowledge into the company okay just buying something just to buy he doesn't do that and that's why the cash pile is huge so to conclude I'm still a fan of Buffett I really admire him but I think we should learn from what he is doing and not from what he's saying there is a big difference between Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger his partner Warren Buffett wants to be liked by people Charlie Munger doesn't care what you you or me think about him and therefore if you listen to Charlie his words are much heavier and carry much more truth Buffett wants to be liked by you and therefore he will say what you want to hear so that's very important so to learn okay listen to both of them but try to follow what they are doing and what they have been doing not so much what they are saying especially Buffett I'll be doing soon a video on Charlie Munger which is I think even better than Buffett because he tells the truth and that's what you want to learn you want to make money not feel good about your investments so thank you for watching click like if you like the content don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet share this video with your friends if you think it can add value to them I'm looking forward to your comments any other lies that Buffett is saying or anybody else that you think is saying one thing and doing the other share it with us we are here to learn all together and create a community of investors thank you for watching again and I'll see you in the next video


Hello, Site42. It's Dr. Sumerian again. I'm a bit of a cold, you might be able to tell. This week I'm going to continue reading things that Bright is not allowed to do at the Foundation. I hope you enjoy it. Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to play Hippocratic Oath Chicken with the medical staff. A full minute of stunned silence means, my God, what did you do? Not please continue. Pranks placed into new staff's desks are not funny because they liquefied in record time. Attempts to use Foundation radio telescopes to contact omniscient, omnipotent extraterrestrial entities will result in a bill for damage to local spacetime, including the cost of demoting objects to dwarf planet status. Despite his degree, Dr. Bright is not allowed to either prescribe or administer any of the following. Enemies, homeopathic remedies, any sort of medication, free hugs, the healing power of laughter, sexual healing, or more cowbell. Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to offer the solution of, use more guns to a problem. Or get bigger guns. Despite what he may say, and any evidence to the contrary, no matter how plausible, the SCP Foundation has never and will never be associated with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And regardless of what Dr. Bright may say, he is not, and I quote, a real life wizarding tutor. And we'd like to ask him to stop showing us his wand. And nor is he a vampire. That was body glitter and bad acting. And despite what the computer file on him may say, he is not Moabdib. The spice can flow just fine without him. Also, the Tamlin House School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is just a plain bad idea. Yes, empirical evidence is the foundation of science. Yes, blind faith is the death of reason. No, this does not logically imply that anyone is ethically obligated to demonstrate the existence of breasts under laboratory conditions. If Dr. Bright is ever found under the influence of any recreational substance, he must immediately be placed under level 15 containment. If you want to know why, please refer to the security tapes. And if Dr. Bright is found deliberately getting high to get out of paperwork, he is to be placed in a type four cell and hosed down with cold water from a pressurized hose for no less than five minutes. Maybe this will teach you that drugs are bad, okay? Cthulhu and really eth are not valid reasons to send Pandora's box out into the Pacific Ocean in order to capture them. Furthermore, these are not even SCPs, and I will find the person who decided to enter a database file for them. Dr. Bright cannot change the standard-issued D-class uniform to black pants and a red polo shirt. I see your reasoning, but we just don't want to be associated with Star Trek. No matter how many times he may claim it, no matter how many uniforms he may confiscate, Dr. Bright is not a ninja, nor has he ever been a ninja. And no, not even if he uses SCP-281 to do it.  Also, just because Bright is a doctor does not mean he is the doctor, and it doesn't matter how many British men he possesses. No, SCP-963 is not proof against this, nor is any structure that results from placing SCP-184 inside of a police call box, and adopting female members of staff and calling them companions is right out. An SCP-297 is not a sonic screwdriver. While humor can be an effective way to improve staff morale, it is highly inappropriate to make your mom jokes in the vicinity of SCP-597. Dr. Bright may not classify any researcher, including himself, as a memetic hazard. Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to accept or use the following as payment for bets. Your soul, anybody else's soul? Virgin's blood, reproductive organs, SCPs, memories, real or imagined, pieces of your past. I don't even know how you worked this out with Clef, but apparently he can do that? The Isle of Manhattan, beads, firstborn children, secondborn children, red-headed stepchildren, rented mules, gold spun from straw, a child's laughter, a child's tears, virginity, anal virginity, oral virginity, nasal virginity. Actually, I don't even want to know. Naval virginity? What does that even mean? Ponies? Anyone's grandmother? Anyone's grandfather? Anyone's sister? Or any of his blood relatives? No matter how many times he photoshopped himself into a picture of SCP-682, and no matter how many Australians he possesses, Bright is not and never was the crocodile hunter. Dr. Bright is no longer allowed unsupervised access to SCP-387. Researchers are still trying to figure out how an animate model of 682 was so invulnerable, despite being made of just plastic blocks. Dr. Bright is not allowed to tell new researchers experimenting on SCP-168 to divide by zero, find the square root of negative one, or find the last digit of pi using the SCP. One of our doctors is still comatose, and 168 itself is still quite displeased with the event. Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to use examples from Star Trek when administering Turing tests to artificial intelligences of any sort. Computer hardware does not grow on trees, damn it. Dr. Bright is not allowed to plant SCP-2383-J in science labs. We're still picking up complaints from the office of Stephen Hawking. No, not even for the good of science, or even science for the science god. Dr. Bright is not allowed to refer to himself as any of those things either. Dr. Bright is not allowed to use SCP-587 to reenact the locker scene from Men in Black, nor is he allowed to play Godzilla for its inhabitants, nor is he allowed to set himself up as a god to them. Testing between SCP-786 and SCP-587 is also banned. David and Goliath scenarios are just harmful to its inhabitants, as was the Godzilla incident. Dr. Bright is also not allowed to use SCP-786 to simulate dwarf fortress. Dr. Bright is not allowed to show SCP-682 any of the following. Any Huey Bowl movies, The Room, Troll 2, Manos, The Hands of Fate. Movies considered so bad they're good. Movies considered cult classics. You know what, Dr. Bright? You're just not allowed to show 682 any movies ever. Dr. Bright is not allowed to claim SCP-014-J has breached containment and then leave a dining fort in the hallway. Dr. Bright is not 05-J. No such position exists anyway. Dr. Bright is not allowed to give SCP-239 a copy of any Harry Potter books. Seriously, what did you do? Dr. Bright is not allowed to use SCP-141 to give people parking tickets. Dr. Bright is not allowed to send anything into the past or the future or to alternate dimensions. Dr. Bright is not allowed to accuse people of being duplicates of himself with the intention of having them terminated unless they actually are duplicates of himself. Dr. Bright may not put a cup of orgasm from SCP-294 through SCP-914 on the very fine setting. Dr. Bright may not use SCP-294 to create a cup of memetic orgasm and use it on national TV. You know what, let's just not allow Dr. Bright to use SCP-294 to create orgasms of any kind, memetic, sentient, or otherwise. And also, giving the results of requesting a cup of Dear God No, Dr. Bright is not allowed to use SCP-294 directly or outside of approved testing. Now that he's asked another staff member to request a cup of Explodium from SCP-294 to see what would happen, Dr. Bright is not allowed to ask other staff members to access SCPs for him no matter how instructive, funny, or helpful the results might be. The only exception to this is SCP-963. Dr. Bright is not allowed to make, accept, or create a raffle on XK Class End of the World scenarios. Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to access SCP-732-infected documents along with SCP-239. MTF Lambda-2 has been dispatched to contain Chowder clef. And Dr. Bright is not allowed to organize, authorize, or create in any form a foundation Demolition Derby Starring SCPs. No, just no, and not even if you try to throw in 682 as some sort of grand finale in disguise as a termination attempt. Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to get on the PA system at Site-19 and announced he just won the game. You know what? Dr. Bright is never allowed on the PA system for any reason ever. Dr. Bright is not allowed to request access to all cubicle SCPs to make a fort of any kind. Dr. Bright is not allowed to play hot potato with SCP-963. Dr. Bright is not allowed to arrange, schedule, advertise, promote, or sell tickets to cage matches between ABLE and 682 or any other SCPs. I don't care how many O5s agree to it or how many precedents there are. Dr. Bright is not allowed a pet SCP. Dr. Bright is not allowed to combine a cadaver infected with SCP-008 and SCP-217. And Dr. Bright and Clef are no longer allowed to engage in research or any activity involving 40 gallons of Superballs. Also the aforementioned are not allowed to blackmail D-Class personnel into conducting such activities for them. Challenge accepted is not a valid excuse for anything. Dr. Bright is not allowed to lease out SCP-002 even if he includes the option to buy it. Dr. Bright is not allowed to dress up as Joseph Stalin and Ambush Agent Strelinkov in the hallways. And to be fair, Dr. Bright is no longer allowed to dress up as any communist dictator because there's no way it could end well. Dr. Bright is not to be allowed access to the cafeteria menu at any time, nor is he allowed to get anyone else to access it for him either directly or indirectly. Dr. Bright is not allowed to introduce small children to the giving tree. All right, we're going to go ahead and end the episode here.

Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Breath of Doxy. My name is David and this is a deck review. Hey, today we're going to look at the Empire Bloodline's Black Limited Edition. This is part of the Kickstarter campaign that was done by Kings and Crooks, which is Lee McKenzie, and he released a Kickstarter for his new Empire line. You might remember he did Empire a while ago, but this is his new release, which was the Bloodline's Edition. He had two solid colors that were part of the general campaign, royal blue and emerald green. Just to let you know a little bit about the Bloodline's playing cards, they were inspired by just the beautiful and ornate elegant stone engravings that came out of just all of the most powerful empires in history. These cards are homage to all of that, and I think that any card lover, any artist, any magician, any player, or any card collector, if you really like the original Empire deck, I think you're going to really love these two. But like again, even if you don't have that one, these are really cool standalone deck in and of themselves. It's not just a new, you know, pink job, but not just a new color variation. They're completely original and well worth adding to your collection. And so this is the Black design. This was a limited edition run. There was only 2,000 of these made. The tech case on this is Black, similar to the other ones, although they were white with a color added. These are black with white. It says Empire and Bloodline's right there. Kind of very similar to the other two, the blue and the green, but this one's done in a black. Also, you'll notice that instead of the color embellishments, all of the detail on this are done in a gold foil, and it really shines there, really pops out, and you can just see it catching the light. It's really beautiful. And you see that there's another custom tuck seal. And just like the previous tucks, the inside liner is detailed very ornately, and then the little tongue flaps as well have some ornamentation on there. The tuck seal is unique to this also. You can see that it's numbered, and this is a specific number out of a deck run of only 2,000. So this is one of 2,000. And originally I wasn't even an open mind because of its limited run, but you know what I thought? I had to do a review for you guys, and so I opened mine just for you. The tuck case is a premium quality, luxurious, black soft touched paper box. And it's just, you know, every bell and whistle was pulled out on this, and it's just really, really beautiful. That is pretty much good for the tuck case. Let's take a look at these cards.  They're very thick, very snappy. They have a lot of action to them, and they're very crisp, and they feel very good in your hands. The corners are very smooth, and you just can't go along with Legends playing cards. The back design on the Black Limited Edition are a full bleed back. Again, it has that center cigar band, and just seems to carry the same kind of style and variation that the original Bloodline style had also. You can also see that the metallic gold is across some of the details in this as well, and so that is a really nice touch. The faces on this deck are kept clean. They're not a full black with the Limited Edition, and so you're going to find each index, each pip, each court, all the detail that you had in the original Empire Bloodlines deck, but these have that shimmering gold effect going throughout, and you're going to see the gold on the court cards. You're going to see them on the pips, you're going to see them even on the jokers. Two jokers in the Empire Bloodlines Limited Edition are stone engraving, and you can see they're very gargoyle-esque. This one is just your standard joker, and this one is your card reveal. Notice that the card reveal is in its mouth, but it's also up there in the description as well. Well, that is pretty much it for this deck review of the Empire Bloodlines Limited Edition. As always, I recommend that you like this video just so other people can find it faster. We also recommend that you subscribe to this channel just to stay up to date on all the distant cards and card magic. Now, if you want to follow me on social media, you can.

We place the moxalic acid solution in a beaker and warm the solution to 80 degrees Celsius. We'll add a little bit of sulfuric acid to the solution. We will then add potassium permanganade. We notice that the color disappears rapidly. Increasing the temperature increases the rate of the reaction.


one Shaber 1000 here today we have a fan mail unboxing a fan has sent me a gift and I appreciate it let's open it up let's see what's in here okay so a little story about this item that's here it's a

just it's amazing because I know I know what shipping costs are and a lot of people don't understand that shipping costs are expensive to ship items those are the money cards that we sent out for the giveaway there was those three cards well we we was just going to send them in Christmas cards which we did but I thought well you know a lot of people see a Christmas card they know there's you know a lot of times there's money in them and they'll steal them so we got Manila envelopes about this big stuck them in there you guys know what them cards weigh nothing I mean you know it was less than an ounce it costs $40 to ship all three of them so I know what it's like and I really appreciate when you guys send me something it's it's amazing I never I never thought you know that I would get people that cared enough to send me things like this and that's what you guys know it is all appreciated you know I had a guy send me a CB one time well he sent me a couple things haven't heard from

shoot a Christmas card in them but you know I mean I don't mind paying it I just think you know their prices are are ridiculous especially for something like that it's stupid check this out very well packaged thank you Dennis we have a charger here black and Decker said it's only been used a couple times here is the battery we're gonna open this battery up I may have one of these batteries that goes to a weed eater I'm not sure if it's the same exact one I'll be sure to check that out and if it is that'll be cool because I don't have two batteries but the problem is I have three maybe four cordless drills two of them are DeWalt's that were her dads now I don't use them because the batteries are bad there's nothing wrong with the drills the batteries are bad and just you know for giggles last night I was showing monkey what the prices and then batteries are two DeWalt batteries for my drill two-pack 239.99 $240 and I'm like I just can't I can't fathom buying batteries for them things you know yeah check that out I think I have this battery packing a charger in there like I said to her dad's weed eater and here's the star of the show I haven't sharpened my knife yet because this will you know these things coming handy you know like because right now I have to you know if I just want to drill a couple holes I have to get my stench cord out and you know I mean so yeah these are handy I look this thing awesome you know what this is similar to one of the ones I got monkey had two when we got together yeah so all right and I can't remember if it takes these kind of batteries I think it might but the batteries were bad awesome thank you so much then you got your adjustment here that won't let you like grilled to do it's ratchet and then when you turn these all the way up there's a picture of a drill bit here then you can't stop it so yes this is awesome cool thank you Dennis I appreciate it this thing will be getting some use trust me this is awesome matrix I think I'll have to look but she had two when we got together and I can't remember I this looks real familiar I think they're black and decors and one of them just got to where I think the drill itself was going bad so and it had a couple batteries but then the battery started going bad and so I was kind of stuck with like it would hold a charge for maybe to drill two holes you know what I mean and then they would be depleted so that is I can't tell you thank you enough Dennis I really appreciate that so there you go we got us a nice drill and like I said the drills will last me a long time my impact driver I'm finally starting to have a little trouble with it I've had it three years I think it is I bought a Harbor freight for 40 bucks and the first thing the lights went out the LEDs went out of the front that was not that's not a big deal I gave 40 bucks for that thing but now the trigger like will stick and that'll do something like it'll barely turn you know like that and you can't squeeze the trigger and you got to bump it and once you bump it then you can use it but I could probably fix it but for 40 bucks and it's lasted me three years I've dropped that thing I've dropped it off the roof the house one day onto the onto the driveway over there never had an issue with it and the battery is still good I've only charged only charged that thing five times I used it when I when I put the shed up back there I used it the first day it got me through the first day and it wasn't a full charge and I fully charged it and it finished it off it finished the shed off there's a lot of screws in there and it finished that shed off and then I never charged it again after that for a long time and I used it and used it and used it so the batteries on on that thing was was awesome it's a bower and so I'm gonna get me another one sometime hopefully they still got that same one because that thing that thing's awesome then I'll have two batteries but like in an everyday situation like when I was working at the trailer building them trailers and stuff you know it wouldn't have lasted no because I went through two Dewalt drills and two impact Dewalt impact drivers a year there but we're talking you know pretty much eight hours you're using them things so for what I'm doing now you know this drill is gonna last me a long time at least till the battery goes right but I like I said I think I've got I've got a 20 volt battery in there it looks identical to this because uh and in that a weed eater is a black and duck or weed eater and I know last year we tried it out and we was gonna sell it but we decided to keep it because you know it's handy around here so we're not dragging an extension cord all over the place so hopefully the battery is still good for it and we'll have two batteries for this two batteries for the so that's cool again thanks Dennis I really appreciate it and so I'm gonna get off here and hope you all have a very merry Christmas what I'm gonna do is we're gonna I'm gonna try to do a video a day I mean I've got enough stuff to do just depends on health and weather and stuff I'm gonna get my my solo camp out in I didn't get to do it this month so I'm just gonna have to be in December it's just not a big deal but so I'm gonna try to do a video a day until Christmas and you know for you guys in Christmas Eve Christmas Eve day I will be I'll be doing another live stream I want to do that every year now last year we we made a Christmas tree together and this year I got something else planned it's it's kind of cool we'll be doing it in the shop too so anyway guys thanks for watching thanks again Dennis I really really appreciate it can't tell you how much thank you guys and thanks for everyone that has sent me stuff I do appreciate it it means a lot to me and we'll see you guys in the next one shea bearer the myth man alleged I'm gone for now don't forget check out monkey 1000 channel we'll see you guys in the next one bye bye guys and take care okay so I just thought I'd throw this in there this is you know the drill he sent me with the battery so now this is the drill or the battery for the for the weed eater cool so I got two batteries and two chargers awesome thanks again Dennis

Well, back with the breakfast and plus TV Africa, Dr. Kostli Adir Miimi will be joining us this morning. Female genital mutilation survivor and advocate as well. She's of the Association of Public Health, Physician of Nigeria. Well, according to the United Nations, more than 200 million women and girls alive today have gone through female genital mutilation, which is the FGM Procedure. It was also reported that in 2023, about 4.2 million girls had reeks have been subjected to FGM. Meanwhile, the United Nations Population Fund estimates shows that the disruption of school attendance is linked to the coronavirus, which could cause 2 million or more cases of FGM to happen over the next decade unless serious actions are taken. Nigeria has the third largest number of women and girls globally who have been caught. And according to the United Nations Children's Fund in 2012, the United Nations General Assembly named 6 of February the International Day of Zerotolerance of FGM, aiming to enlighten the world of brutal practice and gain to support and eliminate it. Well, the theme for this year is that partnership with men and boys to transform social and gender norms to NFGM. It was also launched by the UNICEF, of course, on the UNFPA. It's a joint program for elimination of female genital mutilation. It's a global action course right here. Dr. Kostli, it's good to have you join us once again. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you very much for having me on the morning show. All right, so let's talk about it. I mean, just before we get delving to what the 6th of February stands for, what exactly is a female genital mutilation? Thank you very much. Female genital mutilation is the cutting of female esthanal reproductive organ for non-medical reason. I'm not going to go into the World Health Organization definition. I'm just going to say it the way we can understand. Female genital mutilation is also known in communities as cutting.  But the truth is that female genital mutilation and male circumcision at different things entirely. They do not relate in any way. And that is why we prefer to use the word mutilation for female cutting because it is actually mutilation. It has no medical benefit. It has no health reason. It is an extreme form of violence against women and girls. So usually what is done in female genital mutilation is that some parts or the whole of female esthanal reproductive organ is cut away. Usually in Nigeria, the most targeted organ in the female reproductive, esthanal reproductive system is the clitoris. So they either cut part of the clitoris or cut the whole of the clitoris. Usually, again, some go to the extent of cutting the other organs that are also in the esthanal reproductive system, like the labia majora, the labia minora. These medical words, but I'm just talking about the organs that you can see in the female esthanal reproductive organ. Usually when people cut, they do not only stop at cutting, they also go ahead to even stitch the esthanal female reproductive system together and just leave a little hole for urine and menstrual fluid. This is very, very harmful. This is an extreme form of torture and violence. In this part of the world, in most states in Nigeria, where FGM is being practiced, girls are being caught as early as eight days. Some are caught as late as 13 years, 16 years, and some before, just before they get married. There's also one form of female genital mutilation that I am. Dr. Costley. Okay. So there's also one from female genital mutilation that I must mention, because that is one of the current trends that we are beginning to see is the type four female genital mutilation. All other things that I've said before can be either grouped as type one, type two, or type three. Type three is the effibulation where they stitch the female esthanal reproductive system together and just leave a small hole for urine and menstrual fluid. Now to type four. Type four is piercing. They do all sorts of things to female esthanal reproductive system, like piercing, inciting objects, labia strengthening, doing all sorts of anything that you do to the female esthanal reproductive system that is not for medical reason can be categorized as type four. In outside, this type of cutting, gissiric cutting is usually done for women just before they give birth. Also, some people insert corrosive objects into the female esthanal reproductive system into the vagina, just in the name of beauty and some other reasons, tradition and all of that. All of this damage to the female esthanal reproductive system is categorized under female genital mutilation and it affects the woman. It poses potential risk to both immediate risk and long-term risk to the woman. And that is why we are leveraging on the 6th of February, which is recognized as the International Day for Zero Tolerance Against FGM, where leveraging is opportunity to reach out to people to let them know that you don't have to touch the female esthanal reproductive system. It is already created completely. It is completely created by God and every part of it has a specific purpose. You don't have to stretch the labia. It doesn't add to beauty. You don't have to cut the clitoris. It has a specific reason why it is created and has specific functions that are itself. That is what we are leveraging on. That is why we are reaching out to everyone to let them know that we, at the same time, we abandon this harmful practice that continues to pose these complications to women and girls. Very worrying details there.  What effect does it have on any individual who goes through it? And why do we see in Africa, in Nigeria, this practice of female circumcision? Let me quickly say that Nigeria accounts for one-tenth of the total number of female genital mutilation survivors alive today. It has been estimated that there are 200 million survivors of female genital mutilation alive today. Nigeria has one-tenth of that figure. That is about 19.9 million women and girls that have undergone female genital mutilation. They live in Nigeria. That is a very, very huge number, the largest absolute number in the world. That being said, female genital mutilation complication can be categorized as both short-term, long-term complications. Short-term means immediate complications, the complications that you see immediately. And long-term complications simply means that the complication that you get to see later in life. Also, female genital mutilation has a lot of psychological consequences. It has a lot of obstructive consequences, which is very, very dangerous and frightening. When you talk about the immediate complication, I usually describe the task when you look at the way the procedure is being performed. Usually, the way the procedure is being performed is that a small child, a girl or an adolescent girl, is usually two people that performs FGM are traditional cutters, traditional birth attenders. I'm still going to talk about the fact that some health workers are also performing FGM, but in most part of the state where it's been practiced, the traditional cutters, it's usually a very awkward thing. These people have little or no knowledge of the female external reproductive organ. And so the pain, you know, the girl child down, the baby that is about to be mutilated, they pain the child down, and then they also get another person to either sit on the child's chest, because the procedure is extremely, extremely painful. And so even a child will try to rescue herself, not to talk of an adult girl. So they pain the child down, and then the cutter now goes with different sort of instruments to cut the part of the female external genitalia that is about to be taken off.  Some use something that looks like a broken glass, some use thorns. They use all sort of instruments that Doctor, because of time, let's let's look at the message you have for the people out there, the parents out there, your guidance out there, people who are leaders in a traditional society regarding this. Okay, thank you very much. Like I said, female genital mutilation has no health benefit. It has no no benefit to the girl child. It poses risk to the future, to the immediate, it poses immediate risk and long term risk to the girl child. Girls can bleed to death in the process of cutting. Girls can get infected when using one instrument from one girl, transferring infection from one child to another child. A lot of girls have suffered urinary retention, sexual dysfunction is also one of the major reasons why, you know, why, why one of major complications that women are going through. And that has destroyed a lot of homes, we receive calls, we run UNFPA Supporters 24 seven rescue line, men call every time, you know, to, to ask for their wife. And so my message to everyone at home is that when you look at the complications of FGM, it is not what the life of any girl a lot of girls have died through the process of female genital mutilation. A lot of girls have died through the Yes, I'm really sorry, less in less than, you know, a minute. Can you just react to this? The theme for this year is a collaborative effort, partnering with boys, men, you know, policymakers, the community to eliminate this practice. What exactly can be done? I'd like you to share your thoughts briefly. Men and boys are custodians of culture, they're traditional leaders, they're political leaders. And it's I find we recognize that if we must end female genital mutilation, we need the collaboration of this group of people to bring an end to this practice. They are decision makers. One of the recent FGM case in Nigeria, it was the man that gave the consent for the child to be mutilated. Men must be aware they must be sensitized. And know that FGM is not just a woman issue. It's also a men's issue as well. Men must rise up and speak out against female genital mutilation, use the position of power to speak and protect the right of women and girls. Because like I said, a lot of men also suffer in silence because of female genital mutilation. And we must come together to end this practice once and for all. Well, I think we have to let it go at this point in time. Thank you so much, Dr. Kosley, Derigme. Thank you once again for having me. Alright then. Quite chilling revelations by a guest and the dangers of this act called female circumcision or female genital mutilation. Very worrying. The message is passing on is we need to desist and stop this immediately. That's the size of our package. Don't forget to come forward on our social media platforms right here on Plus TV Africa.

And my name is Kofi Bartels. Good morning.


good morning guys happy friday it is september 21st i have such a busy weekend so i definitely wanted to make a weekend in my life today i'm heading to the apple store to pick up my iphone i got the iphone xs max i don't even know what it's called i just i'm gonna call it the max because it's a lot of words so iphone max i got that one i'm going to pick it up at mall millennia there were two options i could have either gotten it shipped to my house or shipped to the store when you get stuff sent to a sorority house i don't know it's sometimes like a little bit scary especially being an iphone and then you would have to sign for it and like what if i'm not home and what if no one's home it was just easier to pick it up at the mall and i think that if you got it shipped to your house it would have shipped a little bit later like two weeks or something like that but in store it would have been like just a week from pre-order and i was like hell yeah so i'm gonna pick up laura and we're gonna head to millennia we are at millennia and we're probably just gonna go check in my pickup time is at 11 it's 10 30 right now and yeah i'm very excited about this phone all i'm hoping for is that the camera is like a hundred times better than this one it's not just a little upgraded yes because i feel like they always say that the camera is better but like is it really yeah like i feel like they just say it you know so we'll check it out today we'll be the judges oh my god i really hope that's not the pickup line this is terrible so i got trying to take me home because i still don't know my way around orlando after all these years well it's only been three anyways we just have to rant so basically my pickup time was from 11 11 30 and we got there at like 10 30 because i was like oh let's get the early check in or whatever because usually like that's how like apple women's go so we got there early we got in line at like 10 40 or something like that and then um they started pulling people up who had 10 30 appointments which like at first i was like okay whatever but there were so many people that when i had to be like so many and i was pretty much punished like punished for me early and i like didn't really understand that so that wasn't cool because like like it it became 11 and i still was waiting in line like and i would have you know been way up if all these people like actually came on time if that makes sense i don't know we just thought it was kind of like hello we got here first like if they're late to their pickup time like one guy was like yeah mine was at like 9 30 or something and it was like almost 11 so like you definitely missed it so you should like be punished from going to the back like you had to pick up time at 9 hello like you should have been here at 9 and then like the sim card wasn't working which i don't know what was going on with that i don't know i've just had a morning but i'm glad that it's finally in my possession it was definitely worth the wait um but yeah i'm excited to test out the camera today at the game i really want to do a dedicated like what's on my iphone kind of thing like testing out the camera and stuff so look out for that so it is game day here at ucf i'm currently getting ready um this talk was recently in my haul so go check it out if you haven't already it's from amazon and literally it was under ten dollars or like ten dollars somewhere around that super cheap and then i have some shorts on these shorts are from rels rags and they're just kind of like that nineties vibe i thought it was like something different for me and i might wear these hoops i don't know i don't know if they go but and then i'm probably gonna just wear like my adidas what are they called superstars or something i like wearing like just sneakers for a tailgate because then your feet don't get super dirty and like you should have like a designated sneaker you know to wear like bars and tailgates and stuff and game days um i'm not really going to watch right now i think it looks too weird not together you need different necklace i think it's like i think i don't know it's just two different styles i like it together that's what i think i feel like i'm mixing all of the 12 i mean i agree but i think you look more like you're tailgating and not like going to like a carnival so i got some stuff on amazon for my new phone i got a case and a pop socket i'll link them down below an sorority cap adulta and i'm the vice president of public relations so my job is to do like all the social media and like relations around campus and with alum but today we are filming that video we did it last year with the old council which i was also on because this is my second term um and so we're doing it again because it was really cute um so i'm going to set up my lights and everything i'm thinking a change of scenery if you guys have to watch my vlogs i also filmed the recruitment video and we did it in the formal but i don't know i feel like this is like super chill cozy like not super formal so we're gonna do it in here today also i totally forgot to tell you guys to go check out my bid day video on the kducf youtube channel the link will be in the description below but i am so hyped about it i feel like everyone said it's like one of my best videos but i feel like they always say that after like the new video i don't know if it's just like we're hyped about it or like if it's like my best video so definitely check it out and let me know what you guys think my own studio so i don't have to set these dang lights up because they're just so annoying like they don't take that much time especially if you like know how to do them because at first i was like so confused but it's just so annoying i don't even fully put them together like i just kind of slap it together and hope it like works which it does so i kind of take the easy way out but i'm wondering if there's like a closet upstairs that i can just like stuff them in so i don't have to like set them up i don't know i need to like go on a hunt but if you guys make videos i highly highly recommend getting light boxes i will have a link to mine down below i got these for christmas and i think they're only like a hundred dollars maybe and i think i remember spending a little bit more for my ring light which the ring lights don't even like give that much light so if you are looking for extra lighting then highly recommend light boxes over ring lights okay i think i got it i'm gonna wing it okay you got it girl oh you worked hard too i know i didn't know okay i was waiting to stop ready one two it's your academic two straight smile ready one two i'm worried about it i feel like it keeps starting off so i know it's bad but that you just need to know where to end it so like think about it and know exactly what word you're gonna end it on maybe like just pick one topic so other people can do that okay um when she hits her last few words you need to be looking at journey and you should i look at no it doesn't matter but you have a hair on your shoulder so just like kind of like turn her when she's like finishing up so then you can like go we're taking a little break from council filming to get just delay now it's me and brie's turn we're just gonna film ourselves because you know have to be in the video and film it it's a tough life personally yeah out here doing this youtube life so today i really want to film a video about my new phone and i was thinking i should probably get my nails done because i haven't gotten them done in a really long time so first of all i want to treat myself second of all i want a fall color like i've been wanting to get a fall color in my nails and then third of all like it's probably just gonna be in the video so it might as well look nice so i'm gonna go over there but i brought my air pods this time i feel like i forget them every single time and i feel like they would just be so convenient because you don't have to like worry about wires and i was like watching youtube on my phone while i'm getting my nails done hey guys so it's a lot later now it's like five p.m but whenever i get my nails done i feel like i have to sleep right after because something about going in the nail salon like the fumes or like just the vibes when you're like relaxing makes me so so sleepy and tired so i knew that i had to take a nap after but right now i'm gonna try to film my iphone video um i think it's gonna be like a what's on my iphone video because i haven't done that in like two years so i gotta set my room up for that everything is set up for this video i'm really hyped about my room this year because i feel like it's the perfect filming space because there's decor on every inch of the wall so i can literally like put my camera at any angle and it still looks cute so i'm really hyped about that and also my room is a little bit bigger if you guys didn't know because i live in the president suite with the president um not me my roommate and um so it's just a little bit bigger and i benefit from it because i can be farther away from my bed so it can be more blurred and i don't have to be sitting on my bed and seeing the decorations i don't know if you guys understand but anyways i'm just really pumped about this whole setup i have going on i still need to film a room tour i need to get on that because it's been a while so for the most part my iphone video is done but i am going to go to lar's apartment because we're going to take some pictures on the top of the parking garage and we're going to do a camera test with both of my iphone so the iphone xs max and the iphone 7 plus and see which one's better obviously like the newer one's gonna win but i just want to kind of you know see the difference so i'm gonna pick her up and then we're just gonna ride up and then later we're gonna go to dinner she always says sushi and i'm never gonna turn down sushi but i feel like today is like the one day that i'm like i could go for something different you know and i feel like i should take advantage of that like watch us end up at bujiyama because i know what's gonna happen we literally are twinning you're so cute we are on the top of parking garage it's about to be sunset so we gotta take our pictures fast so as you can tell yeah that's like such a huge you can see the background the colors in the background and you can also see us um and let's kind of move this way let's do this little number okay yeah so you can still see the sunset wow i know that's amazing oh my gosh that's really good yeah so even like in selfies like let's say i'm facing away from a light back here like a lamp behind me it will literally take my face and like show everything and like won't show like the light flare in the back it's really really cool so this is insane this will shoot it's so crazy because it's literally like dark it's so
