Nothing bad to say about it other than it was just okay. It was, it was okay. Hi guys, welcome back. Thanks so much for tuning in for another video. Glad you can join me. If you're new, welcome. If you are already subscribed, welcome back. So this is Deep Condition Week and I have a new brand and a new product that I want to share with you guys. So I was in my store browsing around, product junk in me, product alert, product alert.  I know something's new in here. So the product I picked up is a hair mask from the company Raw Sugar and this is a company and a brand I've never seen or heard of before. What stood out to me the most about this product is the packaging. I just love the way that it's designed. I love the way it looks. It looks so eco-friendly and I really love this wooden top that it has. It kind of reminds me of either a wooden floor, a bamboo wooden floor, or one of those bamboo carving things that you carve, um, cutting boards. That's what I'm trying to say. It reminds me of a cutting board. So I just thought the packaging was just really, really nice and so pretty and it just stood out on the shelf out of all the products on the shelf. This one just kind of captured my eye. So I was really intrigued about this, this product and this brand. So I said let me just give it a try. It's Deep Condition Week and you know, what better time to try a new product on Deep Condition Week. And you may be wondering why am I buying deep conditioners and hair masks when I make my own and I've done videos. DIYs is my number one. You cannot beat your own homemade conditioner, mask, hair mask, whatever you want to call it. You just can't beat that. But sometimes I just don't feel like taking the time to make them. So I'll just go buy me either a deep conditioner, try something new or just get something that's already in my stash. But don't get me wrong. I still do my DIYs. I still use my DIY conditioners and my hair masks. So those are going to always be number one over any store-bought product. So for those who say, yeah, she's not really using her DIYs. Yes I am. I am still using them. I still make them, but just not all the time. Because sometimes it's just a little time consuming or I just don't feel like doing it. And I just want to grab something really quick and do my hair. So let me tell you a little bit about this product. So once again, this is the Raw Sugar brand. And this hair mask is called All That Shans. And it states as vitamin pack hair mask, drenches hair with a cold press blend of nature's most radiant nutrients for extra shine and a covenant healthy glow. This product contains grapefruit, purple kale, lemon and orange peel oil. It has no sulfates, no pithalates, parabens or silicones and it is color safe. And it comes in a 12-fluent ounce jar. These are the ingredients on the back, but I will put it in the description box below so that you can see further what this product contains. What I also found that I liked about this company is their initiative and their mission. They love to give back. So for every product purchase, they donate a bar soap to a family in need. I also like the fact that in this product, you know, it states that it has fruits and plants and wholesome vitamins. But what I also can appreciate is the fact that they purposely put on here no junk added. Now that I can appreciate. So let's crack this open. Let's see what it smells like. It has this fresh clean smell to it, like a light perfume type of a smell, but it does smell really good. Smells really good. So the consistency, the consistency of this product, it has a lot of movement, a lot of shake. It's semi-thick because it has this runniness to it. Now aside from the hair care products they have, they also offer lip care products, bath and body products and personal care products. So the only thing I have in my hair right now is from the Curl Lific Texture Treatment because I want my curls to have a little extra curls and poppage going on. So I'm going to rinse this out and then we're just going to get right into this hair mask and see what it's all about. And just share with you my thoughts and my whole experience with this hair mask at the end of the video. So without further ado, let's get started. Okay, I'm going to start plastering this all over my head right about now. So yeah, let's speed this up a little bit. Now one thing, this stuff sure didn't moisturize my hands really good. Wow, it's like a good hand moisturizer. Hands are so soft and so smooth. A minute since I've had this product sitting on my hair, so I'm going to take off my plastic bunnet. All right, let's see what it's feeling like. Ooh, wow. My hair feels really, really good. It feels like it definitely penetrated my hair. It's definitely not sitting on top of my hair, so it did absorb very well into my hair. So really like that. So what I found interesting about this hair mask is that the more you're working into your hair, the foamier the product gets. See how it looks kind of foamy a little bit. So I'm going to wash this out and I will be right back. Okay, so the conditioner is washed completely out of my hair and the only products I'm going to be using will be from TJN, the Honeywhip Hydrating Moose Raw Honey and Agave Nectar. This is a lightweight mousse that eliminates frizz and gives brilliant shine and definition. And I'll also be using their Anti-Breakage Serum with Black Honey and Coconut Oil. So after washing out the hair mask, my hair feels really, really moisturized. It feels extremely soft. It just feels really good. But other than that, my hair looks good. It feels good. And I'm going to go ahead and apply these products before it starts to dry out. So before I end out this video, I just want to share with you guys very quickly my thoughts and my experience on this hair mask. So overall, I would just say this hair mask is good. It's okay for the price. It's $9.99 for a 12 ounce jar, which is okay. It's pretty good for 12 ounces. But it's okay.  But as far as repurchasing it, I don't think I would repurchase and not to say that it's a bad product and that I had any issues with it. But it was just okay. Like, it was just, I don't know how else to say it, but it was an okay product. It's not one that I would run back out and get again. It was okay. Like, I don't know what else to say other than this was an okay product. And I didn't have any problems with it. I don't know why I'm saying that this is just okay. It's just okay. And I don't know why, but I don't know why. It's okay. It's okay. Like, I don't know why I keep saying it's okay. My hair is still wet, so I couldn't really tell if it gave me the shine. It said it was going to give me, I think this was just overall just like I said, a nourishing hair mass that just gives you shine and vitamins for your hair, just, you know, healthy hair. But yeah, it was an okay hair mask. I liked it. I will say that I liked it.  It feels moisturized. I didn't have any problems washing a product out of my hair. It had a pretty decent slit. I like the product. Again, nothing bad to say about it. I just keep repeating myself because I really don't know what else to say about this product other than it's okay. And I shouldn't keep saying it's okay because this product is meant to give your hair the nutrients and the nourishment that it needs, the healthy hair benefits and with all these ingredients. As far as shine goes, uh, and I'm looking in the mirror just to see, my hair is still wet. So as far as shine, I guess it still looks shiny because it's still damp, but it is starting to dry. But I will say that my hair feels very light and airy and it just, it just feels really good, especially in the back. The back is like really wet. I guess, yeah, it's definitely wetter than the front. So the front is kind of drawing a little quicker. But again, I hope you guys enjoyed listening to my thoughts about this product and just sharing with you my experience of this new brand. And I'm not going to throw this jar away. I'm going to use this for something else just because the packaging is so pretty. So that concludes this video.

Like, well, is he still alive? And I remember clearly that it was like, no. And all we could do was just, all we could do was just stand out.  Here one day and then you're gone. Then you go on the next, I'm sorry. No, you fine. You never, you just never think. I'm sorry. I'm talking, we'll get you some tissue. Yeah. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one. He died at the house. Yeah. So my brother, yeah. You got killed at the house. You got killed at the house. I want to, like I said, now I don't want to, if you want to talk about it, we can't. Cause I want to talk about that day just kind of, you know, where were you at and how you, how did, how did it affect, it's your brother of course, but it's been years now. Can we talk about it?  Like when, when this all happened. So I remember it was like, we wasn't home. So my mom, like I said, she's a lady bug jumper. So it was like probably like a week before their second line. And so they were really getting like closed together. So we were at my aunt's house. My aunt lives like probably like six, seven minutes from us. And we all talking about, this is when love me, love me, not was about to drop. So he had just show everybody was just saying a video and talk about how good the video was. Like this was the one that was going to put him to the next level. Nobody was messing with this video. He shot it at tippatinas. Like it was like a live band and everything. So we knew that this was like one of those moment that was going to prepare him to the next moment. And just like we sitting there, we talking and they just calling the phone like he had been shot. So, you know, my brother had been shot before. So, you know, we like, okay, he been shot. Is he okay? They was like, we don't know. It's really bad this time.  And we ended up going there before her. It was me and my cousin. We ended up driving up before her cause we had to let her know because she didn't want to go at that time. So we ended up going before her. And everything was still there? Everything we was, yeah, everything. Cause it just had happened. Like it didn't just happen. So you made it before the police then? The police were there. They were there. The crime people were there. And all you could see was him laying next to the steps. They didn't even cover him up or nothing? No, so it was like, you know, like I said, it was still the coroner's hand came or anything. So we was like, well, is he still alive? And I remember clearly that it was like, no. And all we could do was just, all we could do was just stand up.  No, you fine. You never, you just never think. I'm sorry. I'm talking, we'll get you some tissue. Yeah. I don't know if I'll get it. Yeah. Yeah, you just never think, but so. And to see that, that's the problem, you know, because that image can never go in. And I think that affects you even more than if you hadn't seen it. You know what I mean? Yeah, you know, cause you think you're going there. You're going to see them people again, but you're really not. So I think my whole thing was just, how was we going to tell my mom? Cause my mom and my brother, like we said, we like 14 years ago. But they were on their way down there. She, yeah. So did she end up coming to see? We ended up stopping her. We got back to tell them that he was gone. My mom was like running to, running down the street to my AT house and she was, we intercepted. So she like, y'all what happened?  And that's a moment that, that, that always gonna scar me to see my mama and how she dropped to know that it was done. She fell out. Yeah, she did.  Yeah. I'm a mom now and I know. And I think that affects you even more because like for me personally, I'd never experienced anything like what you're experiencing, but you know how like when you watch sentimental movies and stuff like that, you didn't cry.  But once you start having kids, it's like, everything makes you cry. Yep. Especially if they talking about children. Children and somebody's child.  You feel it. So it's totally different.  But then for me, it's like once I'm in tune with God now, where, cause I was raising the church and all of that, but I think when you really find God later on as an adult, and you know that everything happens for a reason, and it's bad that of how some things happen terribly. And that makes people question like, how can there be a God if they go like this? Or they go like that. But like I tell everybody, and when I tell people things, I'm not telling them for them. I'm telling them also for myself because it can happen to anybody. Yep, yep, yep. So I'm trying to heal myself in a lot of different ways. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one.


Namaskar, dear learners, welcome to Krishnakanta Handic State Open University. Today, we are going to discuss the topic social mobility, which is the 14th unit of our BA Forest Semester Sociology course titled Introduction to Sociology. Let us now first look at the outline of our presentation. We are first going to discuss on the meaning and definitions of social mobility, the different types of social mobility, the forms of vertical social mobility, opened and closed mobility, difference between the open and closed mobility and the factors that affect social mobility. So, learners, let us now begin our discussion with an understanding of the concept of social mobility, its meaning and its definitions. Dear learners, we all know that every human society is stratified. Social stratification is a universal phenomenon. In all human societies, people are ranked or classified into different groups and stratas in society. Some are accorded higher position while some the lower position. Now, is it possible for a person to move from a lower strata to a higher strata? Yes, in some systems of stratification it is possible, in some it is not. This is what is today's, this is the cracks of today's discussion. Social mobility is in simple words the movement of a person from one strata or one position in a society to another strata or a position. Suppose, I as a person I am born in a lower class and with my ability, with my merit, with my skills or with my achievements, I am able to get a higher position, a higher rank with my merit and then what happens is my social status also changes accordingly. The status that I was born with subsequently changes with my achievement and with my position in a higher class. So, this is social mobility. So, social mobility denotes the movement of an individual or groups from one position or rank to another in a social strata of the society over a period of time. Now, this change in position may not always be an upward change, it may also be a reverse, the downward change. It may not always happen that a person during his lifetime or his son or his grandson during their lifetime achieve a higher position. Though it is frequently observed or though it is usually observed that the movement of a person usually takes place from a lower to a higher position, but it is not always the case. There are also instances or there might arise circumstances when an individual is compelled to climb down the ladder or he loses his job, he loses his wealth, he loses his position and then he falls down to a lower class and automatically his social status changes. So, mobility is not only upward, it may also happen in a reverse way, it may also be a downward mobility. Let us now discuss two very important definitions of social mobility. One of them is given by Lipset and Bendix. They have defined social mobility as a process by which individuals move from one position to another between such hierarchical arrangements that are to be found in each society. So, dear learners, there are two very important keywords in this definition. Number one is the movement of person from one position to another as we have just discussed and the second is the hierarchical arrangement. What is hierarchy? We all know that as I have already mentioned that in society not all people are of the same rank, not all people have the same position in society. Some belong to the upper strata, some belong to the lower strata, some belong to the middle strata. So, depending on their rank, their position, their social status varies. A person of a higher rank belonging to a higher position would have a higher status and that is the vice versa with a person belonging to the lower class. So, society is hierarchical. People are ranked into different groups. A particular group is superior, another is subordinate. So, there is a ranking of people and groups in society and movement of a person from one rank to another is social mobility. Another definition given by Giddens is that social mobility refers to movement of individuals and groups in between different socio-economic positions. This definition is also similar to the one we have discussed. It implies that individuals move into different socio-economic positions. For example, a person belonging to a lower class would have different socio-economic conditions. His privileges, his affordability, his lifestyle is different from a person belonging to an upper class. And when a person from a lower class is able to change his position to a higher class, his socio-economic condition also changes. His first position changes simultaneously his status and along with it changes his socio-economic conditions, his lifestyles, so on and so forth. Having understood the third social mobility, let us now try to discuss the types of social mobility. There are usually two types of social mobility. One is vertical and one is horizontal. Social mobility, it depends upon time, place and directions. In case of direction, if we see, it takes place either in a vertical way or in a horizontal way. But from the perspective of time, it can be intergenerational or intergenerational. Before going to intergenerational and intergenerational mobility, let us first try to understand horizontal and vertical mobility. So, what is horizontal mobility? We have already mentioned that social mobility implies change in position. But there are also instances when a person changes his occupation but his position remains the same. For example, I am working as a manager in a particular company and tomorrow I get an opportunity somewhere else. But I am given the same position of the manager. Shift my job to the other place or the other opportunity that I got but my position has remained the same. I am working today as an assistant professor in KK Handling State Open University. Tomorrow, for example, I get a job at Cotton University as an assistant professor. My place of work changes. I move from KK Handling State Open University to Cotton University. But my designation remains the same. It is assistant professor. So, in this case, when only the place of work changes but the designation but the position or the rank of a person remains the same. It is called horizontal mobility. So, horizontal mobility, dear learners, it refers to change of occupational position or role of an individual or a group without involving any change in its position in the social hierarchy. So, my place of work changes but my designation remains the same. There is no change in my position in the hierarchy. My rank is the same. Here the individual moves from one social position to another of the same rank. In this context, an individual may change his or her occupation but overall social standing or status remains unchanged. So, this is horizontal mobility that you move from one place to another from one job to another.  So, it is an example of horizontal mobility. Now, it contrasts to horizontal mobility. Vertical mobility implies change in the rank and position of an individual. For example, if we take the same example then I am working as an assistant professor here in KK Handling State Open University and tomorrow I join Cotton University or Mahat University as an associate professor. You know my rank or my designation changes. So, that is vertical mobility because here I am moving from one rank to another from one designation to another. Not only my place of work change but also simultaneously there is a change in my designation. There is a change in my rank in my position and accordingly there will be a change in my social status. And it is always not necessary that vertical mobility is accompanied by change in location or change in occupation, change in job. Even in the organizations that we are working in. When in this organization only I get a promotion and I am promoted to a higher rank, it is an example of vertical mobility. Now, for example, a person who belongs to a lower class, he was born in a poverty-ridden family but he is highly meritorious. He works hard, he studies hard, he puts in all his efforts and with his merit and ability he secures a very high position. He becomes a civil servant, he becomes a doctor, he becomes an engineer, you know his position changes and along with it changes his social status. This is also an example of vertical mobility. So, one is horizontal where your position do not change but the place of work or occupation changes. And similarly, the other is vertical mobility where there is a change in the position of individuals or groups along the social hierarchy. Here the position and status of individual changes. Now, there are two forms of vertical mobility. As we have already discussed in the previous part of our discussion today, then vertical mobility can be of two types. One is upward mobility, one is downward mobility. It is not always that a person climbs up the social ladder, you know, he can climb up the social hierarchy. There are also instances when a person is compelled or the situations in life compels him to fall downward, to climb down the social ladder. Of course, this is not by choice. It may be because of different circumstances or conditions of life that a person loses everything. He loses his position, he loses his power, his status and he is forced to fall down. His class status falls down. So, vertical mobility takes two forms. One is upward social mobility and the other is downward social mobility. A classic example, if I would give you a classic example of upward social mobility is two very prominent figures of our country. One are present Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the other APJ Abdul Kalam. We all know that they both of them belong to very humble families. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as has been said, was selling tea for his livelihood and gradually with the passing of time, gradually with his capabilities, with his abilities, he became successful in climbing up the social ladder. Similarly, our most respected APJ Abdul Kalam sir, he also belonged to a very, very downtrodden, very, very humble family. But with his merit, with his hard working nature, with his ambition, he could succeed in achieving a top position. He became the president of the country. So, these are two very, very classic examples of upward social mobility. Now, for example, a person, I am talking about downward social mobility now, a person who is placed in a very high-profile job, has a luxurious lifestyle, has innumerable wealth, property, social standing, social status. He has everything. But in case that person has the habit of involving in corruption, crime, so on and so forth, and one day he gets caught, there is a seize of his bank accounts. We often hear this kind of news in the media. The bank accounts are being seized, the money are being taken away by the government. They lose their job and then what happens today? Do you think their position remains the same? Do you think their social status remains the same? Most of them land up in jails. They lose everything. This is an example of downward social mobility. Because he loses his job, he loses his money, he loses everything. So, thereby he loses his position and status. I hope you are clear with what is meant by horizontal mobility and vertical mobility. Now the landers, there are two very significant forms of vertical social mobility. Apart from its upward and downward mobility, there are two forms of vertical social mobility. We all know by now that vertical social mobility implies what? It implies change in position. A person from a lower class achieving a higher class position or a person from a higher class, you know, by misfortune he falls into a lower class. So, there is a transition, there is a change in position and rank of the person. Now this might happen, this change in position, particularly the upward mobility might happen within a person's lifetime or it might happen in the next generation. So, depending upon this time frame, depending upon the time of change, changing the status, depending upon the time it has taken for an individual to change his or her position, there are two forms of vertical social mobility. One is intergenerational mobility and two is intragenerational mobility. So, time factor as we know is an important element in social mobility. When change occur from one generation to another, it is known as intergenerational mobility. This type of mobility involves changes in social position of a children in comparison to their parents or relative to their parents. That means, my position and there is a comparison between my position and the position of my parents. When my position is better than my parents or when being born in a humble family or being born in a poor family, when I am able to succeed and achieve a higher position or a higher social status, it is an example of intergenerational mobility because this mobility, this movement of me or my parents to a higher status did not take place in their generation, did not take place in their time. It took place in my lifetime. You know, so compared to their status, compared to the status where I was born in, my status has improved now. So, this will be a case of intergenerational mobility. Intergenerational mobility therefore implies changing status or position of one generation in contrast to the earlier generation, a change in the status of family members from one generation to the next. So, in case of intergenerational mobility, there is always a comparison between the previous generation and the present generation. What is the present generation doing? Are they being able to elevate their social conditions? Are they being able to improve their socio-economic status? Are the present generation being able to achieve a higher position? So, there is always a comparison. So, this is intergenerational mobility. When one generation achieves a higher position comparison to the other generation, I mean in comparison to his parents separation. The next is intergenerational mobility where there is no comparison between the previous generation. Here the mobility takes place within the life of a person himself or herself. It implies the change in an individual's position or social status during his or her lifetime. Here change in position is not compared between individual, what was the individual's, I mean parents position or something like that. But there is always a comparison between what was the person's position earlier and what is his position now. So, this kind of mobility takes place within the life of the person itself. He might have belonged to a poor family or he might have belonged. For example, take this example that he joins as a clerk in a particular office and then he becomes the officer. So, this has taken place, this mobility, this positional change has taken place within his own life itself. So, this is a case of intergenerational mobility. Now intergenerational mobility if we would like to give an example. Suppose my father or my grandfather was a farmer or my grandfather was a witch liberator, he was working for others.  You know there is a change from what my grandfather is wearing and what I have become. There is a change, there is a generational change. And this is an example of intergenerational mobility. So, while talking about intergenerational mobility and intergenerational mobility, we have to just remember one thing that in intergenerational mobility there is a comparison between two generations. And in intergenerational mobility there is no comparison between two generations but there is a comparison between what a person was born as and what he have become, what he have gradually become in his life. So, that is the comparison in case of intergenerational mobility. And here also in both intergenerational mobility and intergenerational mobility, the change in position may be upward or may be downward. Though usually it is upward mobility but there are also numerous cases of downward mobility as well.

Ssshhhhisssssss That's drunk I know most people come to this channel to find out about games that are worthwhile playthroughs, but occasionally I do feel it necessary to talk about games that may seem awesome on the surface, but sadly end up being complete disappointments. Nothing sums that up better than Wolverine Adamantium Rage for Super Nintendo I mean it's Wolverine. Not only is he one of the most badass characters of all time, he's also got a really interesting backstory with a ton of depth and a lot of other interesting characters that tie into it.  Anyway, the gist of the story is that someone has information about Wolverine's past So you got to track this person down somehow to find out as much as you can That's when the game starts and that's when you get your first taste of the controls It's a classic case of a game trying to be too cute for one thing pressing up on the d-pad as Wolverine do a Diving roll. What is that B jumps y kicks a punches and X attacks with your claws with L being a backhand and R Being a berserker claw attack you have four different control layouts to choose from in the options menu But none of them have just B jump and Y be a claw attack. I mean since when does Wolverine kick anyway? It's an absolutely useless attack in this game and the most effective attack is holding down and pressing a since it has Wolverine do an uppercut you get one life to slog through 11 levels of this game and there is a password system here But apparently you only earn a password every two levels or so What's up with that each level places you in a huge area where you have to destroy a certain number of enemies in order to Proceed with the number being listed on the bottom left What's incredibly frustrating about this is that the game does not tell you which enemies will reduce that number none of These gun things count but this big thing in the middle does some of these guards count They respawn like crazy So if you've already killed that particular guard he won't count twice But how in the hell am I supposed to keep track of the ones I've killed they all look exactly the same Plus all these areas that have these blind jumps where you just fall and you have no way of seeing what's coming your way The biggest problem overall is that there is a terrible imbalance between Wolverine's range of motion and the enemy patterns that you have To deal with for instance when you press left or right to move you put your head down and charge in that direction I mean what the hell and the jump is just atrocious You've just float in the air like you're bouncing around on the moon leaving you totally vulnerable and the diving role is especially Useless why would you ever use this when you take damage one way or another every time It's a classic case of a complete mismatch between a character's abilities and the level in enemy design What makes this game even worse is that it's such an awful representation of the source material Wolverine is supposed to be a total badass But it takes them like 10 or 12 hits to defeat these randos Come on the goofy sprite animation doesn't help either I already pointed out the running animation that makes them look like an idiot and here He is losing his balance like he's bubsier lester the unlikely that really sums up the entire approach to the dev team took to this game There's nothing here within the game itself that makes it seem like a Wolverine video game all the settings backgrounds and enemies could have been taken from any Generic action platformer the game tries to be clever in certain spots like this boss fight here against lady death strike if you hold down X and a together Wolverine will hold out his claws like this you can do this near an electrical current and shock yourself and in Turn shock anything that touches you so yeah you stand over here and then trigger this attack when she's stupid enough to run by you I'd like to be able to say this is just a matter of timing But the boss pattern here is just a big mess of whatever so it's impossible to tell when they're going to attack and when you Can trigger your own attack. It's all just dumb luck Okay, I will say there are some positives in this game So it's not completely irredeemable for instance climbing walls and ceilings with your claws is pretty cool Also, the percentage you see in the upper left is your health and it automatically replenishes over time a good representation of Wolverine's mutant healing ability So you may just get one life to beat this game, but you can stop for a minute and heal up any time you want However, according to the manual there is an invisible timer that is always ticking down LCD an Android doll from the Wolverine comics is constantly after you and when she's nearby a timer will come up And you've got to get moving forward or you're dead I have to admit I actually kind of like this It gives the game a unique sense of urgency and it'd be pretty cool if the rest of the game weren't such a dumpster fire I do have to mention the music as a positive as well. Check this out Yeah, that's right this game from 1994 has a friggin grime beat super weird, but hey It sounds pretty dang cool Wolverine adamantium rage also came out for Sega Genesis and that version is also friggin terrible In fact, I think it might be even worse than the Super Nintendo version, but on the plus side it does have some great sounding music So yeah, I really wanted to like Wolverine adamantium rage I mean Wolverine is one of my favorite characters in anything ever But this game is just awful in so many different ways from Wolverine's goofy animations to his floaty jump to the enemy Patterns to enemies taking like 10 or 12 hits to destroy it sucks if there's any positives to glean from playing this It's that this game is one of the best examples of how graphics music and presentation won't amount to anything if the gameplay itself is Awful avoid this game at all costs All right, I want to thank you for watching and I hope you have a great rest of your day

Brian Cannon from Letcher McAward he's going to feature in episode one and he's speaking about his uncle Barney Cannon and Brian joins us now in the studio. Thanks for coming in Brian. Thank you very much John. Right um let's let's go go back a bit to before the the Civil War and and chat a bit about your uncle was he was he born into a republican family? No no um I'll go back a little bit further maybe we would helpful uh my grandfather was one of uh 10 children and they all emigrated to America and three of them came back and my grandfather was one he came back he took over the homeless he was a qualified shoemaker he made ladies and men's shoes totally and um he also prepared shoes and usual thing but as the years went on the big feature was working boots and that's the way men worked and when he went to America himself and his brother first they made quite a lump of shoes and boots and they got one of those characters who was going to Derry to take stuff back and the load of the cart and they went to Derry and they sold the boots and shoes on the streets of Derry to get their fare to go to America right so an unusual way to get there that was where was money there was no money so they got their money and he was in America for maybe 10 years maybe more I don't know how long he was in America but he came back after the parents died and back to the home place and resumed his trade and one day this man came in to him said to him would you make me a pair of boots because he said I'm going to ask this girl over the road to marry me and on those days have you had a good pair of boots on you it helped it helped a long way so my grandfather never made the man the boots but went over himself and asked the girl to marry him so if that was political I don't know I know it doesn't sound very political no no and and that's that was the start of it and he married my grandmother who's known as locally it's Mary war Mary war she was Campbell from a town land called by Urter she was a school assistant in those days it was called jam or whatever's got a different name on them assistant teacher and she taught in the school and then she married my grandfather and they went on to have 11 children right and she had four boys and seven girls and Barney and column were twins so they were about the fourth born and they were born in in 98 right 1898 1898 we're born and they went to school and they were identical and there were two devils and did all sorts of things and then and and my father was very anti-british now at that stage and they I think everybody was really as opposed to that time but anyway along came the letter McAward post office became vacant and they applied for it and they got it under and that was under British rule at the time so his appointment came from the secretary general of the post office in Britain the letter still in the house and time then came and column and Barney was 13 or 14 and they decided to send column to ten units college letter Kenny and keep Barney at home and that's the way things were done in those days and column on his first year having done the first year came home at two in the summer holidays and himself and Barney were into football and after a match they went for a swim in the Guevara river column was a good swimmer and he died off a rock into this pool and he swam a bit and then he stood in the water and he was caught in quicksand badly caught and couldn't be released and he lost his life Barney was with him did having tried to pull him in and those days the football boots were made that laces were made of leather and he tied them together and he he wasn't able to broke he wasn't able to pull them in he did everything so he stayed with him he was gone and then he built a cairn of stones to mark the spot where Barney went down and it's a side story when that happened my grandmother was with her daughters at the lake down from the house and these were the other lovely Sunday evening sit and this was in August and when they're sitting there the sky got very dark and they came in opening in the sky like a beautiful light opening and this beautiful light went up through the sky right up into the opening and then it brightened up again and somebody said to them mama what's that oh shoot that is a stroll going to heaven and then sometime later they heard the the thing and Barney column was drowned then further on um column then was sent to letter Kenny college in place and or sorry Barney was in college and uh people know almost place of column and place of column then people refer to miss bernard as well but he's locally was known as Barney and he was there and i think maybe after a year or two he was expelled for smoking sadly and he went off to to uh scottland then to try and and he worked on tug boats for a while and then conscription happened in england and he came back and he joined the the um the local brigades that were being formed at the time and they were just sweeping around and then when the official army was for the war of independence he joined up that and he was uh he came up the ranks he was appointed and eventually uh after the war after the sign of the treaty the war of the war the civil war broke out and Barney took the side of the national army and and um a lot of his friends went the opposite way so it was difficult and he was posted around and eventually he was sent to creceler and while in creceler he was promoted to captain and he so he was the captain in the free state army yeah captain free state army and he was 20 was almost 24 and he had applied to join the newly formed guard the shiokana and he was uh being accepted into the guard the shiokana at the rank of inspector and he was due to be relieved of his command on the monday morning and on the previous saturday night he was shot dead by anti-treaty forces by anti-treaty but i don't think there were i don't think they were they were kind of i put together band themselves that thought they were i think to me i personally think they had something against barney or something they must have known he was going away and they wanted to give maybe give him a good fright or something but what what they did they attacked the barracks at 11 o'clock and you know in in those days you'd nearly know if you're in a town what room everybody slept in with the lights on and off and little things like that and i think they started taking the bags and opposite of the barracks was a forge and a pub but at the forge was a wall and i think the shooter stood on the wall and when barney was coming down the stairs maybe going late the glass above the door barney was shot through the glass now people said he was shot he opened the door barney was a very experienced soldier he wasn't foolish he had been through a lot of things with the black and tans no one better than he did he had a the black and tans give give my barney's family an awful lot of hassle and grief and he they're looking for barney and even arrested my grandfather and threw him into jail and there he had 70 years of age and he's nightclothes to try and get barney so that myth that he was shot through the door the open the door the was foolish and he heard that is not true and i went to the trouble of going down to creasel and i talked to several people in creasel at the time and they always referred to him as the young man that was shot coming down the stairs but so did Joseph Sweeney who was also he for doing all of the time when he came back to look at the shooting and what happened he discovered the bullets behind the wall and thing and he came to the conclusion that he was shot come down the stairs because the wind of shot through the door in case they'd shoot some of the most of the people in the in the barracks were local people from creasel so my personal opinion is that so you think it wasn't a tag on the barracks but they didn't deliberately target barney but they were just shooting i think i think i think the must have known where it was coming down the stairs of the light that is my opinion my grandfather and grandmother came down the saddest part of that is the other thing a little thing a little information was that we had to post office my grandmother was in the post office at the time and on the sunday morning she got the telegram and it was dot dash and code and she was writing it out and there it was Captain Bernard Cannon shot in creasel and barracks on saturday night her own son because she was in the post office she was in the post office and all the family were at mass so she had to get a protestant neighbor to go over to the chapel to deliver the information and it was terrible my grandfather and his daughters were at mass and my father a young fellow so it was a terrible time the shooting the shooting also brought on the shooting of the four men in in drumbow three from three three from Kerry and one from Derry and these men had nothing at all to do with Barney's shooting but they were shot and reprised for his shooting they were already captured and and and they were already court marshaled for carrying arms and there were a lot of people wrote including one of the men whose uncle was a bishop in Kerry today one of the people from a lady from creasel I think it was or Valkyrie wrote asking the bishop could do something to try and get these men off this this charge in case but anyway but the shooting of Barney the hastened it and the word came down from Dublin that these four men supposed to be shot and in as far as I understand in those type of shooting those reprisals there was supposed to be one person from every from every province well that's the way they were supposed to be taken but there was three taken from from Kerry because there was a lot of tragedies in Kerry that were a lot of terrible happenings in Kerry at the time the Bali CD and all these these four fellows are blown up and whatnot by the National Army so I think they took the the judgment was poor and what they did it was conventional my grandmother and my grandfather they did everything in their power to have their shooting stopped they knew what was to lose one not one son but two sons and there was not nothing in it for anybody but the shooting went ahead and they lost their lives those men they're very brave men actually they seem to believe in what they were doing even though it was the end of the line for them I am always amazed at their courage but they had a they had an option they all they had to do is lay down their arms and they could go free my uncle had no option he was shot dead he was murdered really and I was I'm very grateful and one of the people that was very helpful to me in doing research was the late father John Silk from Chrysler he he did an awful lot of research and work and he was able to tell me the names of the people that are in the in the some of them some of them are in a relation of his own yeah so I mean my grandmother prayed for all them every night so I do it really wasn't a material to me but that was the time and who were who they were at the time people were very volatile and and they got very worked up and maybe they had a few drinks in them I don't know what happened but it was we couldn't ever talk about them when we were going up with kids we asked our father dad was very he was the youngest in the family and he was very close to Barney and we didn't want to hear about it we weren't allowed to talk about it and one time in dad's late years he'd been in hospital and I had gone down to take him out or taken him home and we passed in the gates of the chapel and he said stop and he said that those gates are no longer in the chapel near McWards Hall car park now but the old gates in the chapel stopped he said and he said the Sunday after Barney was buried there was a notice from that gate that I was the next to be shot and he had to go from house to house for the next nine months even after even after the ceasefire because our people still threatened them a young fella 15 and on for 16 years of age so my grandmother had great difficulty in mourning her son and knowing her younger son could be shot and my grandfather as well so it was I can understand maybe now why they couldn't talk about stuff and they certainly didn't want us to know about things that happen so I had great difficulty and when I went to do research on my uncle Bernard his whole army file was destroyed there's no longer in existence and even his army number I could never get it and he he certainly was if you think about how the British army wanted to get him how they were they took over Lante it was Lanteo Hanlon's was called in those days the name Lanteo Hanlon was made famous by Patrick McGill the author he wrote a book and one of his main characters was this man called Lanteo Hanlon but Lanteo Hanlon had he had the post office and he had at that before that he was most often he had a shop and he had a bar and he was the biggest farmer around and all that and they took over his premises and they sat there trying to capture my my uncle Barney didn't get him but they they almost got him a few times when he got away but that that gives you how how important he was to them to get him yeah yeah sorry John it was no it's fascinating strange times it was a brutal times absolutely yeah yeah and then the civil war added a whole new dimension to to events but thanks to documentaries like these you know they're not forgotten and stories like yours and there's a there's another Donegal connection tonight as well like hearing Glennon who's actually from Dublin but he's chatting about his grandfather Tom Glennon I read his book yeah he was a member of the Free State Army he was actually assigned Donegal and he's chatting about an incident I think he was there to calm Joe to Joe Sweeney I think for most of his time in Donegal yeah okay he was from Belfast I believe well that story features as well tonight you you obviously you know I care a lot about this period in history as as you rightly care about your your uncle and your uncle's memory so you've done a lot of work yeah I think the fact that none of us knew anything about and that our our children where they were very curious they didn't know what happened either and I think but 10 early years ago I had an opportunity with T. T. Cahart to do a to do a documentary called Brie Huggesbass and that was based on my uncle Bernard and it was about from birth to death and that was the first time that was going to talk about and a lot of people all over Ireland that time were able to relate to this silence and that it was great to hear this type of story for the first time and well that's the history you're talking about yeah yeah it's too bad that 100 years on if we couldn't you know I talk about these events now in an open way but the series starts tonight it's called the silent civil war and Brian you feature your story about Barney features tonight it's after the nine o'clock news on rte one Brian thank you very much you're very welcome thanks for having me in reference to Jim Lamont presents an evening of music and song
