Welcome to the anxious morning, where each weekday morning we take a look at ideas, concepts and lessons designed to help you understand and overcome your anxiety. For more information, visit us at theanxiousmorning.com. I'm having a bit of fun with philosophy, so to end the week, let's invoke Emanuel Kant at a very basic level. More specifically, let's talk about Kant's views of transactional behavior, behavior designed to get something in return or to create a specific outcome. Kant's wrote, Act that you use humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of any other, always at the same time as an end, never merely as a means. Kant was telling us that we should not behave in transactional ways. In terms of day-to-day living, just be nice to people because it's nice to be nice. In Kant's view, your niceness should not be a way to get them to be nice to you or to provide anything in particular in return. Transactional behavior exists for its own sake and purpose. It is not intended to create any particular outcome or condition. How can we apply this to the process of anxiety recovery? Well, as of this writing, February of 2022, I've been speaking and writing more about focusing on the process of recovery rather than the desired outcomes of recovery. Being process-focused is really helpful. That allows us to do our recovery work and meet our challenges without demanding specific outcomes in the forms of changing how we feel. Process-focused recovery allows us to see each challenge as a lesson that teaches us something that we need to know in order to move forward toward our desired outcomes. But what does that look like? Here's one fast example of how to be process-focused in recovery. Do your exposure work today, not so that you will feel better, but because the exposure is just a thing that has to be done as part of getting better. Let the experience stand on its own. Let it have its own merits in the form of lessons that you learn as part of changing your relationship with anxiety and fear. Do not demand a specific outcome or judge the resulting outcome. Just do the exposure for its own sake. Wait a minute, what just happened? It kind of looks like we've described a non-transactional approach to recovery. Now, I've never met the man because I'm not 270 years old, but I'm guessing Emmanuel Kent would be super proud of us right about now. This might all sound a bit nerdy, but the point is simply to remind us that when we approach our recovery as a series of transactions, we can easily wind up frustrated and convinced that we cannot get better. We should not see our recovery work or the challenges life gives us as opportunities to get something in exchange for doing something, but rather as experiences with their own purposes. Allow them to play out as they play out and take what you can from each experience without demanding that you should feel or not feel a certain way as a result. Things tend to go more smoothly when we do it this way. Even when doing this way seems a bit odd at first and is completely counterintuitive. But is anything about recovery intuitive at this point? So, are you transactional or non-transactional in your recovery? Are you outcome focused or process focused? If you have not listened to episode 196 of the Anxious Truth podcast, maybe take 20 minutes to do that today. It will help you see the process non-transactional concept in greater detail. We'll start next week with a little chat about how I learned to recognize stress in my life.

That the, in effect, the alternative is to risk the loss of the personnel and the planes that are denied or move Marines in? Yes, sir. That's the alternative. Now the risk is, it's just medium. I don't think it's a high risk because I don't believe the Vietcong are going to attack Denang in great strength, but they were 40 miles away today, southwest to Denang, having fairly substantial strength and giving a hell of a fight to the South Vietnamese forces at that point. And the cable, the last cable that came in in the morning said the fight had not yet broken off, so that's getting pretty close. And they've been infiltrating in the hills behind Denang in large numbers over the past several months, and the intelligence estimates all give them a larger capability than they have yet exercised. So this is the risk. Now here's what depresses me. There remains a question in our minds as to how we can just open the door to readiness for talks. This is a point on which both Dean and Bob especially are quite concerned. They both feel for somewhat different reasons that it is important to show that we are ready to talk about Vietnam, always on our own terms, but in all appropriate international channels. They point out that in one sense that is what we're doing, the ambassadors. But Bob goes a lot further. He believes that we should find a way to have real talks in an international meeting. I think his motivation is we'll need a conference table if things go worse as he expects. Dean and Bob both feel that to hold some of our allies we may need to be less rigid about talks than we have in the last 10 days. He predicts the pressure which is visible today is from the British, who are nervous by one sub-cabinet resignation and a lot are yammering from their own churches and McGoverns. What the British want is to make some explorations toward the possibility of talks and to say that they have been here in consultation with you. This is not an urgent matter over the weekend, if only because Wilson is bond, but it will be up for judgment now next week. My own opinion on the diplomatic front is that we can always get to the conference table and we need to and there's no great hurry. Dean agrees though he wants to keep the British happy. I think there's a lot to be said for detailed careful study and so on and so forth. Dean's background or yesterday went a little way in this direction and we would all be helped by knowing your reaction to the resulting stories.  President, what my position is that we're drifting from day to day here and we ought to have inside the government some thought as to what we're going to say tomorrow and the next day and next week and so we don't get backgrounders like that of yesterday. Which as you say... I called them and they say that there's nothing in there. It's that toll. It's just not correct. This is a pure New York Times deal to bring us to the conference table. Well Russ didn't say a thing in the world and the New York Times and Chalmers Post just got together at Chalmers Robertson and played it that way as a kind of a propaganda move. I don't know. They're Russ out of town, balls there and they got no notes of it. Well I don't know either. And Ball said he heard it though and that Russ said exactly what he had said all the time for the last two years. That's when they left their neighbors alone there'd be no problem. But until that there's no use of having nothing to talk about. And I thought that's the line and I think I'd just take that line all the time. Now he wants to know my reaction. This is Bundy. It's a three page memo. I told him first I don't know how to stop this Wilson but if he thinks I'm going to be here and let Wilson use my platform to talk about my consulting with him about where to have a conference.  I have to go hide to hold up the Johnson City. I'm not sure to do it. And he better tell him that and I told Ball that too. Now on the Marines the answer is yes if there's no other alternative. I'm sorry that the general was wrong. I think that the dangers are maybe 60-40 against our getting involved in a big war with them as the Marines fighting with the Viet Cong and really starting the land war. I don't think that's necessarily follows our sending them there to guard these things that might prevent it. But the psychological impact of the Marines are coming. There's going to be a bad one. And I know enough not to know that. And I know that every mother is going to say oh this is it. And I know it. What we've done with these B-57s is just going to be Scundi school stuff compared to the Marines. And all they're going to do is be a policeman and damned if I don't know why we can't find some kind of policeman besides the Marines. Because a Marine is a guy that's got a dagger in his hand. And it's going to put the plague up. And an Army boy is not so much. And a Navy boy is not so much. But when we George Reed you said the Marines coming in Mississippi I damn near had to evacuate to White House. I know. When I said the boy with the White Jersey is coming in there's a hell of a lot of difference. We straight it out in 21 hours. And I just point that up. I don't dodge the question. I've been it seems to me that we ought to be able to find some way besides the Marine uniform. But I would certainly in my announcement then if I had to do it and this is the only way the Joint Chiefs can figure it out. I'd certainly say that this is a group, a security group somewhere or a policeman group whatever you call these fellas. You took the what's called group did you take out of there a thousand one time? Security battalions. That one what did you call them? What did you call them? MP battalions. That's right MPs. Well these aren't MPs. We can't call them that. But we can call them security battalions. Can't you call them security battalions? Say similar to MPs that preserve security? No sir we can't really say that. But we can say security. That's clear now. They're quite different from the MPs and all the press knows that we just be accused of falsifying the story. Well we'll just go with it and we know what we're walking into. And if rather than have it said well we wanted protection by plane he wouldn't give it to us and I answered yes. But my judgments no. Well I agree with you and I told the members of Congress I talked to Mr. President that was exactly the problem and I didn't say to them we decided to do it. Mansfield told me well he said you've decided to do it and I appreciate being informed. I said no we haven't decided to do it. Mike I'm calling to get your opinion. He said I said I'm cold as hell to this myself. I'm just telling you that the field command is recommended. Can't think of any other solution. And I'd like to know what you think. That I hate to see this done. And then he went on. I was trying to push him around reluctantly agreeing and I got him sort of half agreed but he'll fall off if anybody attacks him. I'm sure of that. All right we'll take care of this President. When are you going to issue the order? Well we should do it this afternoon. I'm just so scared that something will happen out there. When are you going to announce it? Well we'll make it late today so it'll miss some of the morning additions and then there's no afternoon addition on Sunday. I'll handle it in a way that will minimize the announcement but there's going to be a lot of headlines on it when it comes out this afternoon. Are you telling me? Okay all right then.

Felly, yna'n golygu Sara. HELLO! Fel ddau'n dweud yn ysgrifennu i'w gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio. I'm really excited to get to talk about our experiences in Greece, and so I thought, first of all, we'd maybe just discuss the reasons that we wanted to go and just a bit about organising an elective placement. So Lauren, do you want to start? It was kind of your idea wasn't it? Lauren is the brains behind the operational just to make the spreadsheets. So I asked Sarah if she would like to come with me on an elective placement, and what got me interested was, it was kind of twofold one. I saw an advert on Facebook asking for volunteers to go to Greece to assist women with breastfeeding support in a refugee camp, and with the fundamental role that breastfeeding has for midwives, I just thought that would be an excellent opportunity for a student to have to be able to build their skills but also to give something back, because it's a very privileged role that we have and the skills that we build are just, I felt quite a strong connect with giving something back. And unfortunately, by the time we were able to organise an elective, that opportunity was no longer there, however, everything worked out the way it was meant to, and we found Amartel. And the other reason that we wanted to go is just the fact that Glasgow is a dispersal city in the UK for refugee and asylum seeking women, and the rich culture of women that we have in Glasgow, it just felt like a good opportunity to learn more about the culture so that we can bring that into our practice when we're back here in Glasgow. So I suppose, from a practical point of view, if you're a student midwife and you're interested in arranging elective, our first step was discussing it with the university because really they didn't have the capacity for elective placements prior to us, we kind of started a revolution. So basically all our subsequent years now are able to apply for elective so people have done lots of different things haven't they? Like from just, you know, spending a few days at private scan or people have been volunteering with different third sector charities in the UK that support women and families who are perhaps vulnerable but not necessarily in a maternity context, just that outreach in the community. And I think just the fact that we kind of opened that door has just made the experience possible. It wasn't that the university didn't want us to go and do it. It's just that no one had ever really approached them about it before. So from our point of view, from making the decision that we wanted to go on an elective placement to actually be able to have the permission from university find a slot in the timetable that allowed us to go and get all of the paper work in the forms filled in. It was quite a lengthy process. The original idea to go actually happened in first year and we actually went to Greece at the end of our second year. So we know from the students that are coming after us that are in second year now that their process is much smoother. One of our amazing lecturers, Shona, has worked really hard on developing a much easier pathway for students to be able to apply for electives and she's able to help them facilitate their journey much easier than what we did. That's incredibly encouraging. She's really forged that path for the uni curriculum, which is great. So Shona was really supportive and really helped us out and helped to get all the paperwork in order. And then from our point of view, in terms of organisation, it was just trying to fundraise and we wanted just to get enough money to cover our flights to our accommodation. So we set up a Just Giving page, which is probably something I would recommend. And we had a kind of expectations that we might be able to just cover the cost of that, but we actually raised way more than just those costs. So we're able to make a big donation to Amartel, which was fantastic, but really, really good. One of the key things that we found on this journey that we're doing is just how incredibly generous and supportive the people in this midwifery and birth community are. We have friends and family who are supportive of us because they're friends and family, but there were also donations and support from people all across the world, basically. And just people even from logging in to look at our blog when we were there. Yeah, just being really supportive and giving us encouraging messages. I was quite overwhelming, something that we probably hadn't considered when we started on this journey. And, you know, it just made it even more worthwhile for us, I think. Yeah, absolutely. It was great. And we also, we had been in contact with Amartel and asked them if there was anything that they needed. And they said kind of basically sanitary wear and breast pads. So we just kind of put a bit of a call out.  Cases, how many cases did we end up taking? Three big cases and bags. You know, after we were only going to take hand luggage just for ourselves, for our clothes. And we ended up having to take that plus three huge cases full of things that people donated. Very creative packing. The tricks that you learn. So in terms of organising it, we just agreed the date of Amartel. We booked our flights. And we booked an Airbnb, which is like a five minute walk away from Amartel. So Amartel is a charity that is based in Athens. And it was started up by this absolutely extraordinary woman called Didi, who originally, her kind of original work in Athens was when people started arriving in the ports in Patras in Athens. So she kind of set up almost like a caravan. To provide her dirty care and really, really crucially infant feeding support. There's a lot of other charities working in Greece that have proper dedicated breastfeeding support workers at its core. And actually in any humanitarian crisis, breastfeeding support infant feeding is massively important. Because obviously people don't have access to water, being able to boil water, being able to prepare formula safely, can't afford to buy formula. And I think it's probably quite well known that vulnerable people are kind of preyed upon often by formula companies who maybe want to make a bit of money for other people suffering. So the work that they were doing down there was really, really quite extraordinary. And a lot of the people that kind of started with Didi there are still with Amartel now. So they kind of moved from the port into bigger premises within the city centre. And that was where they were at when we arrived. So when Amartel first moved into Victoria Square, a lot of the refugees would actually had left the camps because of just overcrowding. The government couldn't get them housed quickly enough and we know that even today there are still vast amounts of overcrowding in camps all over Greece. So the reason that Didi chose Victoria Square was because that was where refugees were camping out in tents. They made their way from the coast into the city and that was where Amartel needed to be. They wouldn't have to travel to access the services. The workers at Amartel could walk about the square and they could see the pregnant women, they could approach them, they could do outreach work. And that was how Amartel started to kind of have themselves known in Greece and spread the word about the work that they were doing. So from Didi and the women at Amartel having to go to do outreach till 2018 when Sarah and I were there and women were just lining up at the door in the morning for Amartel to open. They were spreading the word themselves, friends were bringing in friends. It's incredible the work that they've done in such a short space of time and the difference that they've made to so many people is just incredible. So I think just now, if anybody doesn't have any questions about that, we'll move on to our next slide. Does anybody have any questions, anything yet? Any comments? So I'm just going to talk a bit about the women that we met, where they came from and how they get to Europe and what kind of happens then. So these are just some of the figures from last year about people travelling to Europe. So the main entry points would be Spain, Italy and Greece. So a lot of the women that we met there, they were from the Middle East, so Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria of course. We have met women who had trekt for days and days and days on end through mountains. Nothing with them but their underwear when they arrived, with children heavily pregnant. We met other women from Africa, so we met women from the Congo and Eritrea. A lot of those African women had been trafficked for the purposes of sex or exploitation at the time they arrived in Europe. And they've kind of built these really perilous journeys across the sea. I'm sure that everybody's kind of seen those terrifying images and you just think what power these women have actually. We see refugees in their asylum seekers as a vulnerable group, but actually there was a midwife of soldiers this week. She is the lead midwife for caring for asylum seekers in Glasgow. She's really wonderful and she made a point to that really. I totally agree with what she said. My clients, the women that I work for, they are empowered.  You see somebody who's kind of vulnerable before you but actually when you think about the strength to do what they've done and the journeys that they've made, it's just extraordinary. And you can see there that the number of people that kind of made those journeys that are dead or missing is 1,530. And actually the year before that in 2017 there was 3,139. And in 2016 the number of people that died on those journeys was over 5,000. So obviously there are just figures, there are just statistics, there are just numbers. And the European Union seems to be slightly obsessed with the numbers of migrants coming in. If you look at Lebanon for example, which is adjacent to Syria, they have 1.5 million Syrian refugees. We've got 2,000 in Scotland. Scotland has got the same population size as Lebanon. So when people talk about a crisis in Europe I think that they are grossly exaggerating the problem. And this is obviously a wealthy part of the world. So anyway, that's my political rant over and I just want to get excited. So I just want to talk a bit about the difference between a refugee and an asylum seeker and what if anybody wants to join in their experiences of working with these women. So a refugee is somebody who has received their asylum status. So a lot of the women that we were working with were asylum seekers. So they were waiting. And one of the women that we were working with from Afghanistan, she had been waiting for over two years to receive her refugee status. Whereas the Syrians kind of had almost a fast track process just because the scale of the devastation in that country, the European Union has prioritised giving asylum to those women. So obviously a big part of what we're doing also involves the maternity care that's given in Greece, which was fascinating. You think the UK, you think European country, you think it's going to be relatively similar. And it's not. I wonder if Lauren, you'd like to talk a bit about what we learned and what we miss. We were very lucky when we were there to be able to have an insight into the three main types of maternity care in Greece through meeting an independent midwife, a private midwife and a public hospital midwife. So in Greece they have a 40% unemployment rate. They just have a bit of a crisis going on and yet they have opened up their country and their arms to all of these asylum seekers coming in. But what that's doing is putting an extra strain on the public health system. So a lot of women will seek care from independent or private midwives during their maternity care. So an independent midwife we think costs about in the region of 3,500 euros. And those independent midwives I think there's about 40, did we say 40? Round about in the kind of greater Athens area. So the greater Athens area has a population similar to Scotland, just under 5 million. And you know, with a 40% unemployment rate and some of the people that we met are actually paying. If you are working, you have much more heavily taxed. So for example a doctor earning a decent salary will be paying 75% tax. So money is kind of tight. So to find 3,500 euros for maternity care is these women, they know what they want. They know that they want to have the best care available to them. It's just not an option for everyone. With regards to the private care it's about the same cost but your private maternity care gets you care not just from a midwife but also from a doctor. So midwives and obstetricians will work in partnership. And the private midwife that we met is actually married to an obstetrician and she trains here in Scotland. So it was really nice to meet her and hear about her story having gone through kind of similar training to where we're at just now. And part of the allure of private care and working with a midwife and a doctor in Greece is that it actually goes kind of quite against what Sarah and I have learned. Is that it comes with a five night hospital stay and nursery care. So one of the selling points for private midwifery care in Greece is that they'll actually take your baby away during the night to let you heal and rest. So we were very interested to hear that given how much we are working in Scotland in the UK towards keeping mums and babies together and never separate them. But again women are paying a lot of money for this because they're being told that it's best for them, it's best for their health to be able to have a rest and heal after the birth. And then when we went to the public hospital there were two kind of extremely large public hospitals near the centre of Athens. But we kind of went to when it was a bit further out in the greater Athens area. It was about a 40 minute journey from the centre and it was one of the few hospitals in Greece that have received their baby friendly accreditation from UNICEF for breastfeeding. And one of the few that has rooming in with the babies and the mums in the public maternity care you can still access better care if you have more money. So if you access public health care and you have money to pay for the doctor you're likely to get your cesarean section faster. You're likely to get one to one care for the women that we were working with, the asylum seekers. They just don't have that money. And quite often they were at the bottom of the chain. They also don't have money for things like interpreters. They don't have money for, you know, anti-natal education the same way that we do in this country. So a big, big difference. Some of the other kind of statistics that we were kind of shocked to hear was the extremely high epiziotomerate. The extremely high cesarean section rate is up to sort of 70% in some hospitals. So in some of the private ones was it almost up at 90%? Yep, and that's just because the doctors can then plan their life. They can go and have their weekends and women can also plan and know that they're not coming into uncertainty and that they can give the doctors some money that they can sort of have a little bit of control in this kind of uncertain system. Something else that shocked us in the public hospitals was the neonatal services. In the big hospitals in the centre of Greece they only allow access to parents for two visits a day to see their baby. So half an hour in the morning and half an hour at night, which just... I think we were shocked to see what I said. We were going to a European country in 2018 and we just kind of felt almost like we had gone back into the 1950s or something. Absolutely, Max, feeling very grateful to see the NHS. And I would say as well that every midwife that we met, regardless of whether they were private or working in a public or independent, because we met one of each, and said, stay in the UK!  You don't know how lucky you are to have the system you have there. Honestly, it really, really gave you a bit of perspective on how lucky you are here. I think I'm very grateful. And actually, interestingly, the private midwife we met and the public hospital midwife had both spent time either training or working in the UK. So they had had experience of working within the two systems and both of them were doing their own little things. It was really inspiring to see that even in this huge pressure system that they were both working away, doing their own little things to make things better for women as much as you can when you're in a system. That is under such strain. Could you tell the story about leaving the doors open? That's quite a nice story. Yes, so the private midwife that we met, who is married to the obstetrician, has worked in Greece now for 18 years, was it? 15, 18 years? She is Scottish, so she trained in Scotland. She met her husband working in London, working at a hospital in London. And they moved back to Greece, since Greek. One of the things that we saw in the public hospitals we heard in the public hospital when we visited was that privacy isn't a huge thing for them. It's much easier when they don't have one-to-one care necessarily in a way that we do. So it's much easier to keep control of everything if the doors are opened. But the midwife in the private hospital has just been working away for years trying to change that. So she had raised the issue with the sister in the hospital, and they couldn't quite reach in agreement about closing the doors. So this midwife just started closing the doors. So every time she would walk past the door that was open, she would close it on a woman who was in labour. Given that privacy, she would come back maybe an hour later and the door would be open, so she would close it again. So she would just keep working away doing her thing until the culture started changing. Other people started closing doors, and eventually now she showed us some pictures. She's actually now at the stage where the private hospital she's working in has been renovated. She is actually having a birthing pool installed, light dimmers in the room, just creating this change that's taken her years and years to get infiltrated in the system, but creating and easing changes for women and just shifting that culture. Little changes lead to big changes in the long run. Yeah, absolutely.  It may seem like a small thing, but actually we know about the physiology of labour and needing to be in a safe, comfortable environment where you're not being watched. So how are we expecting women to labour? And then I suppose you look at their statistics at their section rates. All of that is really down to who has the control in that room. And it's certainly not the woman. No, and it's just as you say, Ali, it's about making these little changes to change the power shift. Give the power back to the women because it's their bodies, it's their birth, it's their moment. And as Sarah says, we know all of the evidence that surrounds it, but even just on a purely common sense and just kind and compassionate level, at this completely private and vulnerable moment, I wouldn't want the door to be open. So very interesting. Wow, that's really interesting, Ali. What you're saying there, three bedded bay, no silence. Wow. How do you place that? Was there a pressure on women to be silent? Yeah, if they made any noise, they were tapped on the foot and told to be quiet.  As soon as they were classified as being in established labour, they were moved to this three bedded bay without any birthing partners and just left to birthing silence, really. There was a great physiological expectation that they would just birth naturally. It was a bit of a surprise if they ended up with any complications and had to go to theatre. So it was nice to see that kind of physiological belief that their bodies could do it, but it was also a bit startling to see this isolation and loneliness as well a little bit in this very intimate time. And who else would be in the room with them? If you had three women, would there be three midwives or how did that kind of work? The midwives did congregate, but they just chatted to each other. They didn't pay much attention to the women at all. They listened in once an hour and that was it. They were just left to get on with it and then they just sort of announced when they felt they were ready to push. It was very eye-opening. And how did you feel like within that environment? Did you feel like in a position to be able to challenge some of that? It was a little bit difficult because of the language barrier, particularly with the women. The midwives, they were a little bit rude to the women sometimes when they were making noise. They didn't understand why they needed to and it was a bit of a tension-seeking they saw it as. But they also just had this belief, which I was amazed at. Because I think in England sometimes that belief that physiological processes can happen has gone. I would agree with that. And I think if you look up right across Europe actually, I mean look at the States as well. The kind of maternal outcomes that they're having over there, not good. Well it's interesting as it's trying to find that balance between safe maternity care, safe and respectful maternity care. It's so, I feel like depending on whether you're in the developed country or developing country, you kind of drastically... I think we have lessons to learn from each other. Exactly, that's a really excellent point. And also just like where midwives fit into all of that. I think midwives in the UK are, as a general rule, quite a respected profession. I think in the working environment midwives are respected by their colleagues. Obviously not in every case but largely there's respect between the multidisciplinary team. But in Greece there's no national guidelines. They don't have nice, they don't have hospital policies and protocols. And basically as a result of that it means that anybody more senior than you can throw you under the bus. So because you can't say I have followed our hospital guidelines or I have followed national guidelines, this is what I did. So somebody more senior than you can say, well if I was in that situation this is what I would have done. So you've gotten, there's no support for you, which is why everybody's just scared. And of course you have a culture fear here as well but I think over there it's worse. It's a vulnerable place to be, a junior midwife or doctor in the healthcare system in Greece. And the statistics from 2018 were that of the midwives who qualified, only 40% of those were going to work as midwives. So they're losing 60% of the people that they're training to be a midwife. But also there's no role for a midwife there, they're obstetric nurses. So I don't really know why they're bothering to train midwives if they're not allowing for midwifery within the maternity care system. They're not utilising them. And just kind of going back to what Linda was saying about Iran. I think Sarah and I have both heard Linda speak about her time in Iran, which was a great presentation and very interesting for us as we were first years at the time. But I had been as a first-year student midwife after hearing that talk. I cared for a woman who had had her first two children in Iran. So she was having her third child here in Glasgow and her partner did not know what to do with himself. He was beside himself because it was just not done. None of his male friends, none of his male family members had ever been in, where their partners had given birth. And your talk really kind of came back to me at that time, Linda, because I had that awareness from hearing your talk. So yeah, thank you for sharing with us. Absolutely. And for the women that we were kind of caring for when they arrived over to Greece, over to Europe, obviously that's going to be a massive culture shift for them. You know, when they arrive in hospital and neighbour, their partner is not on their team with them. They don't have an interpreter. They don't know the culture. They don't know the language. They're completely alone. I mean, it's just extraordinary that they managed to navigate their way through this. And Amartel, who we were working with, had a hospital system, I think. Actually, a bit more on that. They had like a buddy system for the hospitals. A cultural mediator? Cultural mediator, yes.  So Amartel provides a midwifery antenatal appointments and they do ultrasound, but they don't do what would be over here, your 12-week scan and your 20-week scan. So they don't do the anomaly scan. So you'd need to go to the hospital for that. And they also do a doctor in Greece as well. And every women gets a glucose tolerance test also. Although very interesting in terms of being an evidence-based practitioner because of all the midwifery that we spoke into. I think one of them had worked with the women who had gestational diabetes once, but yet they have this kind of every single women gets a glucose tolerance test. Because there are no guidelines, it was hard for us to navigate and see why they do the test that they do and where their thought process comes from. And they also gave, in the UK, all babies are offered vitamin K at birth, whether that's injection or a drops. But in Greece they did that, but they also gave, there was other vitamins, wasn't there? Vitamin D, everybody got. All the babies got vitamin D as well. And it was about 40 degrees when we were there, sunny every single day. I think the only people that probably needed vitamin D were Sarah and I and our nice kind of Scottish and Irish illness. But yeah, interesting because as student midwives going through this journey where we're constantly learning about evidence and we're learning to navigate an evidence-based profession to go to Greece and it was just your luck of who you got and how they wanted to practice that day. It was quite interesting, wasn't it? It's also just going back to midwifery training in Greece. A lot of the midwives were there to get their statutory numbers. In the UK you have to have your 40 births and that's an EU directive. So that's right across all EU countries. You need to get your 40 babies and all of your antidecatex, post-ecatex. But they weren't able to catch babies because there's such a high C-section rate. So for a lot of those student midwives catching a presenter, counts us delivering a baby in your statutory numbers, which we both found quite shocking. Yes, and when we met one kind of recently qualified two years ago, a midwife, she was absolutely ecstatic to tell us that she'd caught 41 babies and they were actually babies. That was how we found out about this because we were both saying... What do you mean actual babies? As opposed to... Five minutes. That's right. I'll just move on to the next slide. So, just to run down of some of the different services that Amartel gives. So they do also work as a distribution centre. So they provide baby kits, which have got some clothes, naffies, wipes. Whiskey teammates, that kind of thing. And they also have regular donations of kind of like Moses baskets, which the women lost. And they also distributed food. But they had quite a good system in that if you came to an educational class, then you could go in and get some underwear or get some food. And I think it's a really good system because it means that they can come in, they can rest, they can learn something, they can meet some other people. It's practical for them as well. Yeah. So, yeah, actually, one of the lovely listeners today, Mags McCullis, a midwife from Glasgow, and she is heading over to Amartel. I'll start with you in a second. Mags has collected 500 raths. Is that right, Mags? Wow. So Mags is heading to Amartel. She's also got a fundraising page. So she's raising money for Amartel. And maybe you could share that link with us, Mags. That would be really good.  It's also providing a safe space for women to meet each other. A lot of these women come from cultures where they have their family around them. Having children, you've always got a support network and they don't have anyone they come with potentially nobody, no friends, no family, all on their own. And coming to Amartel, they're able to meet other people, they make such good friends. It's such a supportive community. It's just the nicest atmosphere to be in because you just see all of these friendships being formed. And Amartel, they say that everybody that comes to them tells them it's from word of mouth, they've heard from somebody else.  They do classes, they do baby massage, which is just gorgeous. So a lot of the classes are run in both Arabic and Farsi. So you've got that kind of peer-to-peer support. But in addition to that, Amartel, they've been doing a training programme for infant nutrition. So some of the refugees that come have been learning to become infant nutrition teachers themselves. So that's amazing. They've all graduated now and they're so... We've got to see some of them sit in on their classes. And also you see how it makes them feel. These are strong women, as Sarah already said. They're strong, they're independent, they're already empowered. They've made this decision. Some of the words that they used to tell us why they made the decision was because they wanted their children to have a life. They wanted their children to be human. They're all here for the same purpose. So that initially bonds them. But also to see them now furthering themselves in this new environment. It's just absolutely incredible. And they just all build each other up. And they just all want each other to go further. And they just want all of their children to just have a better life. And it's just what DD and Amartel have created is beyond incredible. And Mags has just posted a just given link. So if you've got a couple of pounds to spare, that would absolutely help them. Pop onto their website and see, you know, find out more about them. We can't see enough about them, can we? Just wonderful. And they have a playroom as well for older children. So if pregnant women are coming for appointments or if they're coming for classes, it means that there's a safe space for the kids to be.  And it's just lovely. Really just special. Such a nice environment to be in. It's just, yeah. When Mags, you'll know once you go. It's just, when you walk in that door, it just feels like a safe place. It just feels like a good place to be. And yeah, it's amazing. DD is amazing. I think you've all. I think you've enthused us all to go to Greece. Let's all go. Let's all go. Does anybody have any questions for Sarah or Lauren? If you have a mic, we can have it orderly or if you have them in the public chat. Any questions? Maybe you've been on an elective and have seen some amazing things to share. No? Yeah. So can you sum up in one sentence why somebody as a student should go on an elective placement? It's just so important to get outside of yourself. It literally changed my whole life. It's just changed. It was such a transformative experience for me. I've learned so much about myself as a person, about myself as a future midwife. The bond that Sarah and I have in our friendship has been cemented. And it was just an absolutely incredible opportunity to meet these amazing, strong, powerful women and bring some of their culture home to help other people feel like Glasgow is their new home. And it's just...  There'll be no students left. They'll all be on electives. It's just so... It's just so important to get a bit of perspective during your midwifery training. Yes, it really is. I think it's... Because it's full on, you know. I'm sure everybody knows the ups and the downs that you go through while you're training to be a midwife. And I think it's very, very easy to get caught up in the system and sometimes forget who you are and why you're doing it and what your true motivation is. And I think just kind of getting outside of your own world really, really, really helps and really helps you to kind of find yourself in that again. Diversity is strength. And if you fear a difference, then you're not going to learn anything, are you? You need to embrace it. Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Inspiring us all to take up another elective if we've already done one or to go on one if we haven't.


The annual ritual kicked off at various Muslim praying grounds across the state, Idle Kabir also known as Salah, which is the festivity of sacrifice and of the final rides of the celebration in Saudi Arabia. The report As early as 8 o'clock, Muslim faithfuls in Karnat state trooped to the Eid prayer grounds. Allah Akbar! Its message, the chief imam of Central Mosque Khakuri, Shaikh Jibrin Ibrahim emphasized peace, love and unity as he enjoined Muslims to be mindful of their utterances, especially now that the country is facing serious security threats. Others insisted on the need for all to show religious and ethnic biases. My name is Idmubarak. I'm very very happy to see my family and my friends and the mosques, everybody. I'm very very happy. After the Eid prayers, the Shaikh slaughtered a ram which signifies the sacrifice offered by Prophet Ibrahim. In Kuala, Muslim faithfuls in their large numbers joined their counterparts across the globe to observe the prayers amidst every security presence. Focus of speeches on unity and development of the country. May Almighty Allah continue to be with us, protect us and most importantly, may Almighty God protect the new leadership that we have at the federal level as well as the governor of Kuala state. And we continue to pray that the Almighty Allah should give us the benefit and accept our sacrifice as a means of ibadah that he will accept it. Meanwhile, the army of Ibraheem Zulu Gambari cautioned idol worshippers within the ancient Ibraheem Metropolis against desecrating the city and its environs saying the city is an Islamic community inhabited by peaceful people. Despite the rainfall in the early hours of the day, many of the Muslim faithfuls gathered for the open air special prayers called Salat al Eid. Speaking with newsmen after the Eid, the chief Imam of River State Central Mosque, Abdul Malik Yahya called on Muslim faithfuls to continue with the love shared during the festival. The Qutubah was strictly adhered to the teachings of Islam as we commemorate the Eid al Adha. Eid al Adha simply means the festival of sacrifice. So the significance is all revolve about thanking Allah and being merciful to God Almighty. And in that, we believe that Almighty Allah haven't spare our life to witness to the need for us to be grateful and grateful to Him and that is the message that will tell to the people today. Some other Muslim faithfuls who spoke to our correspondent said preaching unity and peace remain the panacea for peaceful coexistence and citizens should abstain from unlawful act in all they do. Authority should serve and not to be served. When that is done, then you see that the roller programs programs that will best serve the interests of the people. The most important prayer is for peace, love and harmony. If there is no peace, there will be no leadership. If there is no love, there will be no peaceful coexistence among the people and the citizens. The Muslim ummah in River State never had it so good like this. We want to thank the synergy between the Muslim community and the government of River State. After the prayers are shake, Allah way, the Imam of the Ogbogoro Central Mosque in Yanigwa, Bayasa State said God honors the act of obedience, which is the significance of the day for the Muslim community. This celebration is how Prophet Abraham was about to slaughter his son. Ismai, they could get it in the dream. So Allah bring a ram to sacrifice inside of Ismai. There is a celebration that we are doing today in Doha. And there is a celebration. He give every human being that really Almighty God have power to do something which man is not expected. Others who spoke to plus TV news thanked the state government for providing resources for them to celebrate this year's Edo Kabeo. They also highlighted the importance of Aj, which is one of the five pillars in Islam. You perform Haj in Makkah. After Haj, you will buy Ziarin in Hajjana, which is heaven. And today is the 10th day that pilgrimage is spent in Makkah. What they actually go there to perform is sacrifice. In Emo state, Muslim faithfuls also gathered for the Eid prayers. The chairman of the Muslim Council of Nigeria Emo State Chapter, Bashir Uwakwe, enjoined all to pray for the success of President Bola Tinibu's administration. To pilot the affair of this great country that is full of uncertainty, insecurity, corruption, hatred, suffering and a lot of it. In Makkah, the Benwe state capital, the prayer ground was crowded as faithfuls prayed for the peace and progress of the country. The sacrificial ram was slaughtered as an act of obedience to God. Alhamdulillah, you know government, the other government has passed, which all the country has expected a good government from Tinibu government. And we, we are the people which will help him with prayer. With peace, you can achieve anything. So we are praying to the new government that came, let them try their best to make sure that we have peace in our Benwe state. Because with peace, you cannot work. In Adamawa, Governor Amadou Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa state and the presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party, Atiku Abubaka joined other Muslims at the central heat ground in Yola to observe the prayers. After the prayers, Governor Fintiri moved to the government house where he slaughtered the sacrificial rams. He then proceeded to the palace to receive Salah Umij from traditional title holders. The hope and prayer that our prayers today will lead us to peace, prosperity and development in the country and Adamawa in particular. It is our fervent prayer also that we will continue to coexist for the overall existence of this country. Because we need this country that there is regard as an individual and we need peace and prosperity. In our state, Governor Shayimakin, they played host to Muslim leaders in the government and the People's Democratic Party in the state. The governor appreciated the Muslim communities for remaining peaceful in the state despite attempts by Ovasilius politicians to sow the seed of division. They were peddling a lot of rumors, a lot of misinformation, misinterpretation of things. They were trying to push on your state towards religious division. Where is the cashless now? You said they were printing the notes that they destroyed all the old notes. What are we spending now? You can use your power, use your position, use your influence and say look I will do this. If God says look I will not leave my people. He advised public office holders to always allow God to prevail in their decisions and policies.


It's therefore time for members' statements if we move to member statements. It's because we need to wait for the member and we are now in members' statements. The member from Whitby Oshawa. Well, thank you very much, Speaker, and the United Way of Durham region has been changing its fundraising practices to respond to local deindustrialization. In the past, the United Way Speaker was able to collect substantial donations from manufacturers and other suppliers when it held fundraising events and large-scale fundraising campaigns. Unfortunately, Speaker, the manufacturing sector declined over time in Durham region and fewer employees worked in the industry. As a result, the United Way has had to adapt and look for alternative means to fundraise in the region, and organizers are encouraging employees who make donations through their employer to make their donations where they live. And this makes sense, Speaker, as roughly 52% of workers in the region of Durham commute across the greater Toronto area each day. Under this direction, Speaker, the United Way of Durham region has set a goal to raise $2.9 million in 2017, an increase from $2.68 million that they raised last year during their annual campaign. Speaker, these funds help the 30 agencies and roughly 175 programs offered locally. Speaker, I know the residents from Durham will want to support the area in which they live and donating to the United Way of Durham region will give them the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of many others in this community. Thank you, Speaker. Mr. Further Member, statements to the member from London Fanshawe. It is always a privilege to rise in the legislature as the MPP for London Fanshawe on behalf of my constituents. I bring the voices of families and caregivers to the legislature to share their experiences in long-term care with all members of the House. Janice Duffy contacted me about her father, Douglas. Her father has been a resident in long-term care for three years. He has experienced several instances of mental and physical abuse, neglect and inconsistent care. Janice, like many other families, are stressed because they are worrying about their loved ones' care. Janice visits her father. He shows her advertisements for apartments to rent. When she asks him why he clips these ads, his answer is heartbreaking. He asks why he has to live in a long-term care home when he doesn't receive the basic care he needs. When did things start breaking down in long-term care? Well, we only have to look back to the Conservative Harris government and their private, for-profit health care agenda, which resulted in thousands of layoffs of frontline health care workers. Things are only getting worse under the Liberal-Win government. Families and frontline workers are telling us that there is one PSW to 30 residents and frontline workers are run off their feet. There is just not enough time for staff to deliver basic care. Why does this government stubbornly refuse to acknowledge systemic issues in our long-term care system, including safety of residents and staff, funding levels, quality of care and staffing levels? When will this government stop ignoring the motion that was passed in the legislature to expand the public inquiry and commit to examining the systemic problems in long-term care beyond the wet law for investigation? Thank you. Members, David Cymur from Mrs. Saga Brampton South. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This past weekend, I was delighted to attend the Afro-Global Excellence Awards hosted by Afro-Global Television. The awards is an initiative of Afro-Global Television and the Steamed Planet Africa Organization, which includes television shows now broadcasted in Canada, Europe and Africa. Their vision is to motivate people of African origin despite where they were born or raised and to celebrate their leadership and excellence. Recipients of the 2017 Excellence Awards are Honorable Choni Inns, Paulette Sr., Charles Marful, Andrea A. Davis, Dr. Lisa Egboga, and Dr. Stan Choo Eelow, Leonee Tachat, Councillor Michael Thompson, Dr. Mansfield Adwords, Attie Rutherford, Dr. Churchill Ebiodeun, Jamugni Q1 Nuka, Jackie Apia, Franklin Omerona, Dwayne Dixon, Emmanuel Cabongo. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate all the recipients of the Afro-Global Excellence Awards. Kudos to all of them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Further member statements? The member from Farnhill. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm just rising today while there's an autism rally going on outside, so I want to highlight a little bit about why the Ontario Autism Coalition is here once again advocating on behalf of families with children with autism. They did a very comprehensive survey, so they wanted to highlight some of the issues. I'm just going to read a couple of things from the survey. 72% of parents who were surveyed felt that their child with autism does not receive support at the level that they need at school. 97% said that their child had an individual education program in place last year, but they were not given meaningful input into that program. Only 45% said that there was a safety plan in place for their child, and only 29% said that they were able to give meaningful input. So I just want to mention that one of the highlights of the rally is the discussion that autism doesn't end at school, that there's too much violence in the classrooms in our schools, that we need ABA to be available as part of the school program within our schools. Service dogs have to be accommodated. Kenner spoke very passionately about his dog. There was an article last week about a boy who was denied his iPad until the mother went to the media, and I think that we can do better. We can work all together to create a better comprehensive plan for autism and special families, children in our schools. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Thank you for the members. Same as the members from Niagara Falls. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I rise to talk about what's going on with the college falcons at the campus across Ontario. I have seen the impact of the strike at Niagara College, has had on workers and families in my riding. I have spoken to Niagara College President Dan Patterson about this issue, encourages all parties to get back to the bargaining table to work towards a fair contract for college staff. Mr. Speaker, the ratio of part-time contract staff to full-time staff at the college is roughly 8 to 2. That's 80% part-time staff, which is unacceptable. These part-time instructors are paid less than their coworkers and go from one short contract to the next. This strike is not just about the college. The striking faculty are standing up for young people in Ontario to make sure when they graduate they can count on having a full-time, stable job. Students are paying ever-increasing tuition fees and are concerned about their future of their semester and getting full-time employment. In this situation, a fair response from Ontario colleges could possibly affect students' futures. Mr. Speaker, funding cuts from both liberal and conservative governments have forced colleges to use drastic cutting measures. Unfortunately, they have targeted instructors. It's not fair to instructors and it's not fair to students who depend on a good education for a good life, including full-time, stable employment. We need both parties to get back to the bargaining table and work to ensure instructors have a fair deal for the benefits of faculty, students, and colleges. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Member Stevens, the member from Davenport. Thank you, Speaker. Human trafficking is a deplorable crime as well as a human rights violation that robs the safety, livelihood, and dignity of those who are exploited and abused. The survivors are controlled mentally, physically, and emotionally by traffickers. It is difficult for them to leave and find help. Those who do find a way out often need support in a range of areas such as trauma counseling, addictions recovery, job training, and more. Our government has already had great success with our strategy to end human trafficking, but there is always more work to be done. That is why yesterday I was proud to announce that the FCJ Refugee Centre in my riding of Davenport Migrant Worker Centre will be receiving over $369,000 in funding to identify, intervene in, and prevent labour trafficking and exploitation situations among migrant workers in Davenport and across the province. FCJ is an amazing organization that does truly remarkable work to help refugees and newcomers, and this additional funding is going to go a long way to fight human trafficking in Davenport and in Ontario. And I want to thank Francisco and Lolli Rico, the directors at the Centre, as well as Varka, Kayla, DeSahavia, who is the anti-human trafficking project coordinated for the work that they do. Human trafficking is an atrocious reality for too many people, and the agencies across Ontario working tirelessly to put an end to this practice are nothing short of heroes. Thank you for the work that you do. Thank you. Further member statements? The member from Sioux Saint-Marie. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Last week, the President and CEO of the Trillium Gift of Life Network, Ronnie Gasey, made a very important announcement. According to Trillium's records over the last quarter, the Sioux Area Hospital was one of 19 hospitals across Ontario to achieve a 100% conversion rate of potential donors that eventually go on to donate. One of 19, Mr. Speaker, out of a total of 150 hospitals in this province to say that I am proud of my community and the dedicated workers at the Sioux Area Hospital would be an understatement. But the good news does not stop there. Not only does the Sioux Area Hospital boast one of the highest rates for notifying Trillium of potential donors, but over 30 members of our community of Sioux Saint-Marie, over 30,000 members of our community of Sioux Saint-Marie, that's about just over 70,000 population, have registered to be an organ donor. That's just over 45% of our entire population, and that number is expected to climb over time. So, in closing, Mr. Speaker, I want to thank Ms. Gasey and her team at the Trillium Gift of Life Network and the dedicated and hardworking staff at the Sioux Area Hospital. But most importantly, I want to thank my community of Sioux Saint-Marie.  And just as a final point, I just want to note as well that while our community sits at 45%, we are only 10% below being number one in the entire province. So, I want to say thank you for that. Thank you. Thank you for the member's statements. The member from Eglinton, Lawrence. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to talk about an incredible new alliance that's being created out of Sunnybrook Hospital, one of North America's premier hospitals, especially when it comes to children's health and maternal health. And this new alliance is called the Alliance for the Prevention of Preterm Bursts and Still Bursts. The alliance is a collaboration of families, hospitals, maternal child networks, and maternal newborn care providers that aims to create a profoundly important shift in thinking and resolving some of the challenges that women are having with preterm bursts and still bursts. With recent scientific discoveries, it is very evident that premature bursts are preventable. And in some cases, it requires simple screening or even the taking of a baby aspirin. The alliance is led by the incredible, world-renowned obstetricianess and chair of the Maternal Fetal Medicine Research Program at Sunnybrook, it's Dr. John Barrett, ably assisted by midwife Wendy Catherine. So this alliance will partner with the Sunnybrooks Canadian Premature Babies Foundation and also with PAEL, the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Network. So this will be a major breakthrough in helping curb the rate of prenatal deaths and still bursts. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you for the member's statements and members from Kitchener, Conestota. Yes, thank you, Speaker. I want to thank the many employees of Toronto's Park Hyatt Hotel, whose hospitality and hard work have always made me and so many others through the years feel at home away from home. I'll start with a thank you for all 385 members of their dedicated staff who worked tirelessly, some for well over 30 years. Like Joe, the rooftop bartender now retired was there for 57 years. At the corner of Bloor and Avenue Road, Park Plaza Hotel is one of the most esteemed hotels in the city. Breaking ground in 1928, the Park Plaza began housing guests in 1936 for as little as $3 a night. It's gone up slightly since then, Speaker. The hotel became a magnet for Canadian writers, including Margaret Atwood, Mordechai Rikler, and also served as a breeding ground for political strategy as the unofficial headquarters for Premier Bill Davis's big blue machine meetings. In 1999, the Hyatt chain purchased the structure and have announced closure this November ahead of an extensive renovation and grand reopening for the fall of 2019. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity, especially, to thank all staff for their dedicated service from the Valais, the Bellman, like Charles, all of the lovely Anona staff. Of course, the Lae-Claidore, Concierge Orson, and Stephen, Max, and Sarah, to the Front House desk staff, Michael, Casey, Amy, Julie, Mark, and Tony, and of course, general manager, Bonnie, and her team, including Alicia and Christine. Thank you for all your work and dedication. I very much appreciate it, and we'll see you soon. Thank you. Thank you. I thank all members for their statements. I have a point of order from the member from Kitchener Center. Speaker, I'd like to correct my record from a member's statement from yesterday. I mentioned in a member's statement that the federal government has allocated $12 million in humanitarian aid to the Rohingyan refugees, and that is in addition to money they've already been there put in this year. It's a total of $25 million for 2017. Thank you. Thank you. Every member is entitled to correct their own record. Therefore, it's time for reports by committees. The member from Etobicoke North. Thank you, Speaker. I demand the permission to deposit. I ask that the permanent...


So, the next few videos are gonna be a bit different. If you've watched my channel or followed me on social for long enough, you've probably realized that I don't really like making music lists. There's a whole host of reasons behind that, but that's not what we're here for. We can get into that some other day. We're here because I'm gonna make a list, kind of. We only end a decade once every 10 years, so when it comes around it creates a time to reflect on the years we just experienced together. So I'm gonna use this opportunity to create a list. At these times a lot of people like doing rankings of best albums of the decade or things like that and that's not what I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna do a kind of more personal, subjective list. It's gonna look at five artists who defined the 2010s in my mind. Seeing as the decade encompasses my entire adult life, the 2010s were kind of a big deal for me. They saw me graduate high school, graduate university, start a YouTube channel, have that YouTube channel become my job, move across the country, and get engaged. Naturally, I have some thoughts on the music that was the soundtrack to all of these events, and I would really like to share that with you. So over the next five videos, I'm gonna discuss five artists and how I think they defined the last decade. This isn't necessarily to say they were the greatest artists of the decade, nor is it to say they were the only ones that were important, it's just a list of five artists that I thought really changed the world over the last ten years. So here's the five artists in question, David Bowie, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, Beyonce, and Kendrick Lamar. Over the next five weeks, I'm gonna release a video on each of these artists explaining what I think they meant to the decade. If you want to contribute, I'd love to hear what artists defined the 2010s in your mind. Honestly, I think it would be awesome to turn the comments sections into a collection of your guys thoughts on the ten years we just made it through, and if you want to chat more about it, you should join the Polyphonic Discord, I'll put a link for that down in the description. The series will kick off next week, but before I go, I wanted to update you with some other stuff going on. As you're probably aware of, a few months back, myself and a whole bunch of creators started our own video streaming platform called Nebula. Nebula is a place for us to create free from some of the struggles and restrictions of YouTube. You can sign up to Nebula for just three bucks a month, and all of that money goes directly to supporting independent creators and creating new original content, speaking of which. A few months back, I launched my first Nebula original, Led Zeppelin's Epics. That series was an in-depth look at three of Zeppelin's most ambitious songs, Dareway to Heaven, Cashmere, and Achilles' Last Stand. I really enjoyed doing a deeper series like this, and so, last month, I launched my second Nebula original. This is a series that's been in the works in one form or another for a really long time for me, and it's something that a lot of people have requested, so I'm really really excited that it's actually happening now. The series is called The Dark Side of the Moon Project, and it's a track-by-track analysis of Dark Side of the Moon. There's two episodes up on Nebula now, and new episodes are coming bi-weekly. I'll be releasing the series on YouTube throughout the new year, but if you want to get in on it early and show your support for my channel, you can check it out today at Nebula. If you're not sure you want to pay yet, that's fine, but there's a seven-day trial so you can give it a shot and see what I've got on there. And to those of you that already have Nebula, thank you, it means a lot to me that you've signed up to this service, and I hope you're enjoying it. And there's one more thing that I wanted to tell you guys about. I've started making art.  I've been really enjoying making this art, so I'm gonna keep posting new art on my Instagram at WatchPolyphonic. This is pretty much completely unrelated to my YouTube channel, but it's a ton of fun, and I'm pretty proud of these visuals, so check them out if you like cool pictures, I guess. So that's basically it for this video, but before I go, I just want to thank you all so much. Your guys' support lets me do fun, weird things, and it really lets my channel keep growing. I especially want to thank my supporters on Patreon and those who have already signed up for Nebula. Working with music on YouTube is an endless uphill battle. I think it's really important to use clips of the music that I'm talking about in my videos, but that usually means that Sony Music Entertainment, or Universal Music Group, claim my ad revenue, even though my usage of these songs is pretty much the definition of fair use. Sometimes they even claim the song if they don't have the rights to it, like the public domain recording of the entertainer that I used in my Scott Joplin video. So because of this, my AdSense revenue is pretty limited, which means those who support me on Patreon or Nebula really go a long way to help and keep the channel alive. And tune in next week to see why I decided to include a man born in 1947 in my list of artists that defined the 2010s. Thanks again, I guess, bye. I'm really bad at sign-offs in these talking-type videos.


What's good Josh will Ross back out again with another video. So we're gonna check out awesome pro wrestling heel turns by dammit What's good Josh will Ross back out again with another video? So we're gonna check out awesome pro wrestling heel turns by wrestling bios man It's one of those things where Sometimes a heel turn ultimately can enhance the wrestler's career We've seen it time and time and time and time and time again I think it's like a a rite of passage that once you turn heel It just enhances you Overall for the most part in your career from there You know you're able to you know kind of get into more your creative bag We've seen it with HBK. We've seen it with Roman Reigns recently Him turning here was the best thing that happened to his career We've seen it with the rock same thing him turning heel was the best thing that happened to his career There's one of those things where once you do that and you're really good at it whenever you turn face Again, it's gonna be you know the fans are gonna love you same thing with Hulk Hogan Hulk Hogan was the ultimate baby face for so long And then you know people kind of got tired of it went to WCW once he turned heel And he was able to ride that wave of hate people started loving him people started cheering for him people started thinking He was cool. That's just that's just what that's just what happens in wrestling. So weird. We love the bad guys We love to hate the bad guys In the baby faces sometimes we care for them depending on the situation But a lot of times it's just like we prefer a heel. So we're gonna take this out This should be a good one. Appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on channel Austin back in late 90s. I don't know why it was all the way up here, but here we go Nothing beats a good old heel turning pro wrestling So turning to the dark side seems to get more people talking than a guy turning baby face So that's because he turns are supposed to come across Unexpected sometimes it doesn't work But a well executed heel turn has the chance to live on forever is an unforgettable moment Today, I'm going to take a look at a few of my favorite heel turns Some will be obvious of course because it would be a send to leave off some of the more well-known terms But I'll also explain why the turn So here's some of my favorite heel turns in pro wrestling Classic one right here This one falls into the obvious category and it's one that's been talked about frequently But that's for good reason the Rockers tag team was a hit with younger fans and also female fans Shawn Michaels and Marty Janetti incorporated a lot of tantum high-flying offense into their move set that excited fans They had a carefree attitude Just their overall presentation from their entrance music to their ring of towers told viewers that hey These guys like to have fun and you're gonna have fun watching them wrestle all good things must come to an end And after some issues behind the scenes and because Sean had his own desire to begin a singles run The Rockers would break up and an infamous promo held in Brutus beef cakes barber shop in the run-up to this historic moment The tag team were having some issues in the ring and the WWF magazine even covered the potential breakup of Sean and Marty Janetti Marty said if Sean wants to make this work He has to shake his hands and put their problems aside Sean not only shook Marty's hand, but he gave him a big old hug in the fans pop Just when everyone On track Sean kicked Marty in the face and he proceeded to put Marty's head through the barbershop window Sean kicks his former partner while he's down He grabs the WWF magazine and he rips it in half Sean had turned to the dark side and he had go on to become the heartbreak The rest is history. Yep, leaving the Rockers was the best thing Sean ever did in hindsight and as for Marty Janetti. Well, yeah, it wasn't so good for Marty. Nope Oh shit, man Now this one is very controversial It for the longest it really didn't work if you really want to be honest Stone Cold Turning to the dark sides online with Vince McMahon. You thought it would work JR was trying to sell it as much as he could But if you watch WrestleMania 17 the crowd was still cheering the crowd wanted Stone Cold to win So it didn't really initially work. It didn't really start taking place in my opinion until He started to align himself with trip with Triple H and they became a two-man power trip That's when I started to feel like the heel turn was somewhat working But people still love Stone Cold. It was just it worked in a sense, but not really You know, he was getting booze, but in my opinion, I think people still loved him too much Stone Cold said that this didn't work out too well and many fans online agree with Austin But I didn't think Austin's time as a heel after WrestleMania 17 was all that bad I thought some of Austin's promos were great when he went back to the dark side following his match against the Rock But I also understand why others wouldn't have liked it Some would actually consider this is one of the worst heel turns in pro wrestling I can see that Rock took place at WrestleMania and Vince McMahon made an appearance towards the end of the bout Shocked when McMahon and Austin joined forces to ensure Stone Cold left WrestleMania as WWF champion This one was made all the more noteworthy due to the history Vincent Austin had it was through their rivalry that the Mr McMahon character became truly prominent on weekly Television and seeing Stone Cold partner up with his boss like this felt a bit strange But man, what a way to end WrestleMania great about it He turned closed what many consider to be the greatest WrestleMania of all time The vast majority of fans weren't ready to boo Stone Cold though It was always gonna be a tough sale seeing his fans had cheered a heel Austin back in late 96 and 97 And it was those cheers that turned him naturally into a baby face The WWF would have to edit pre-tape shows and add booze because fans were still giving Stone Cold positive reaction This is what I was saying it worked when he lined himself with Triple H It kind of worked a little bit more, but it wasn't They had to really force it in it's supposed to become natural He was just too big of a baby face people just cared about him too much to like truly hate him Actions when he walked to the ring, but again, I find the heel turn interesting and entertaining and I enjoy He's Steve Austin just as much as baby face Steve Austin Set is at the beginning Here but one I can't leave out of this video You know the deal one of the biggest baby faces of all time eat your vitamins Say your prayers Hulk Hogan rose to the very top of the wrestling world by being a good guy, but all that happened in WWF In WCW, depending on where the shows were being held, Hulk Hogan could get some pretty rough receptions Not only because he was an old WWF guy, but because he was doing the same old thing that he had done for years and years Hulk Mania wasn't totally broken in the summer of 1996 But it sure would have ended up that way if things continued the way they did So Hogan took the opportunity to join forces with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash And well to say there was shock would be an understatement Hulk did toy around with the dark side the year prior and it was comically bad But Nash and Hall were the key to this heel turn being successful The Outsiders invasion felt a lot more real than what Hogan had tried to do before They gave this group an edge and a lot more legitimacy So everything just fell and look at that girl throwing trash at him And we ended up getting a true game changing faction that's became just as legendary as WCW itself The new world order Hulk Hogan's heel turns probably the most significant and noteworthy heel turn in pro wrestling history Facts facts facts facts Man It's right here across the united states of america The double turn I apologize for nothing Bret Harteel's heel turn had been building up ever since around December 1996 I'd say Sean Michaels still had his fans and Bret was tearing Sean a new one frequently on tv And in a way it made Bret come off as a little better Just a little Steve Austin was also rising up the ranks as a popular anti-hero And Austin was getting the better of Bret on a few occasions While Bret was eager to fight Austin and prove that the hitman was better than stone cold He would also complain quite a lot whenever he got his hands on a microphone Leading to some fans saying Bret is a crybaby Still though what you have to remember here and what makes Bret's heel turn so good Is the fact that Bret had a point and Bret was pretty much right He was getting screwed over by Austin and it did seem like Sean was dodging Bret when it came to a fight Bret was the victim of a lot of injustice but stone cold's popularity just couldn't be denied And Bret would have to come to terms with a lot of his old fans dismissing the excellence of execution As their hero It all came to a head at WrestleMania 13 where both Bret and Austin's roads were solidified In what many consider to be the greatest double turn of all time But do keep in mind that both guys were already well on this path in the run up to WrestleMania The WWF did gamble a little on how fans would react but it turned out better than expected Austin wouldn't submit to the sharpshooter and referee Ken Shamrock had to step in And end the WrestleMania 13 submission match Bret however decided to attack stone cold after the bell And when Shamrock took Bret down by force the headman backed down Getting a lot of booze in the process And that's good that that I'm in the green It's a lot of people say this is the greatest double turn in in WrestleMania In just in wrestling history. I think it is Stone cold not tapping passing out blood falling down his face and passing out didn't win he passed out Bret Infuriated attacking him after it's over. It was great. This is this is how You you really solidify someone's character And now people want to see stone cold win the championship because he never gave up Austin meanwhile showed true grit when he wouldn't submit the brett's finisher Instead losing consciousness while locked in the sharpshooter, but still never giving up Stone cold also refused help when getting out of the ring Preferring to walk back up the ramp by himself and getting a standing ovation in the process That's how you do it Bret made his actions the next night on Raw and again Bret told no lies and everything he said was true He talked about all the times he'd been messed around in WWF Since returning at the 1996 survivor series and the hit man kept it all off by saying It seems like a lot of fans in America don't care about him anymore But the fact of the matter is Bret really doesn't care too much about the American fans neither Love it love it I think it's an example of WWE turning a negative into a positive When the decision was made to remove Kane's mask WWE had a bit of a problem that told fans for the longest time that Kane's face was disfigured You've got two options here really if the mask was definitely going to come off You could apply makeup every single time Kane performed including house shows and that would have been extremely difficult to do or you could just do nothing and let Kane go out there with a face that wasn't disfigured and try to explain your way out of it The WWE went with the latter option and they decided a heel turn would also be necessary So when Kane was forced to remove his mask on Raw, a storyline was built around Kane's mental state that was actually pretty well done all things considered Kane was mentally disfigured, he had hidden behind the mask out of fear that people wouldn't accept him and in doing this he had so much interest himself that his face was a mess When it was pointed out to Kane that there was nothing wrong with how he looked he would think that people were downplaying the severity of his illness He just went rogue, I loved it And of course, Slow Chemical became his theme song You know me, you know how much I love Slow Chemical, it just fit him perfectly Sent him on fire Kane was having none of it, he would end up setting good old JR on fire when lost questioned his perceived disfigurement and Kane would go on a rampage soon afterwards where he was reborn as a monster in WWE, something he hadn't been for quite a few years Personally speaking, I prefer the old original Kane, but the removal of Kane's mask I thought was handled very well and reverting Kane back to being an intimidating and unstoppable force in WWE was a good call, it gave the character many many more years in the company Facts, before they turned him into the devil's favorite bitch for the authority This is really good I'm not sure if it was just me that thought this, but when the Shane was getting heavily featured in WWE I sometimes felt that Seth Rollins didn't get as much recognition as Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose, Roman was always given a little more than the other guys being a big powerhouse that the WWE took a liking to and Ambrose managed to get himself highlighted due to how unpredictable and unstable he could be from time to time in the ring Seth Rollins was given the name The Architect, the guy who puts it all together away from the ring, the planner of the group, the guy who gives the shade their tactical edge, the man who comes up with the blueprints, so you've got the powerhouse, the chaotic brawler and the high-flang technician, in my opinion Seth was the most naturally talented in-ring competitor of the trio and it felt to me that more people would talk about his Shane teammates and hey I'm gonna be totally wrong here but that's how I remember it Honestly I think he's spot on if you guys remember around that time people were really high on Roman Reigns, people loved how Dean Ambrose was coming off on the microphone and just his antics and people appreciated Seth but people didn't think Seth was I guess you could say I think people would have people were choosing Roman, Dean, then Seth and it's crazy how how even to all three of their careers have definitely first these guys are they I will say this WWE at the time they knew they were the future and they they they're proving it they're proving it right now they have been everything that they've been built up to be you know what I'm saying so it's it's crazy to see that chef Rollins in the the popular opinion he was like the lesser of everyone else even though they were all you know pretty fantastic in the ring. Seth Rollins in my opinion is the most most giftedly talented and it's just crazy how things played out over time man. Although the trio would become very popular in WWE but it was Seth who would destroy the shield when he famously became Triple H's plan B. Seth had Roman with a steel chair and Ambrose couldn't believe what he was saying so Dean got taken out too and Seth would join Triple H in the Authority while also becoming one of the biggest heels WWE has to offer. It's a heel turn that would get replayed often and no one saw it coming it turned out to be highly beneficial to Seth in terms of his position in the company but in saying that every member of the shield would prosper in one way or another yeah a good heel turn though and it created a singles main eventer in just one night. Facts facts facts facts all factual. The Rock never sold out. Told you. The Rock just got ahead. The Rock's 99 years heel turn series was so good because it really was so unexpected. Rock was on the path to becoming one of WWF's top babyfaces alongside Steve Austin and everything pointed to Rocky becoming a big-time fan favorite at the end of the year. Survivor Series 1998 featured the deadly game tournament. The winner of the tournament would become the new WWF champion and in the finals Rock would become champion for the first time in his career but he also got a little assistance from Vince McMahon. A re-enactment of the Montreal Screwjob took place and Vince ordered the timekeeper to ring the bell when Rock put Mankind in the sharpshooter keeping mind that Mankind thought he was in Vince's good books when all this went down. Fans had wanted to cheer for Rocky but all that was taken away when the people's champion became the corporate champion. I think this is an interesting one because it bucked tradition. You knew the Rock was going to become a huge babyface star because fans couldn't get enough of him during this time period but the WWF pulled off a great swerve at Survivor Series 1998 and the heel turn ended up being a lot of fun because well they got us. They got us good. All this would set up a WrestleMania match featuring Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin beginning a WrestleMania trilogy that will go down in history is one of the WWE's best. Yeah I'm sorry it is without a doubt the best trilogy of matches to like to ever happen at WrestleMania bro. Best trilogy of matches. There's no Rock Stone Cold. I'm telling you right now the Rock in Stone Cold could happen one more time and I'm telling you now everybody and their grandmother would be wanting to watch that match. There'll be people who haven't watched wrestling in years. Rock and Stone Cold going any one more time.  I would be hyped. I know it shouldn't be the main event but I would be hyped because that's just how legendary they careers were. Because I didn't get a chance to win the tag off because of you. That's a good one. That's a legendary heel turn. It's remembered for all ones little verbal slip up at the end unfortunately but Owen Kearney is back on bread. The 1994 rumble will always be memorable to me because as a kid I remember feeling really bad for Brett. The Heart Brothers had a few issues when Little Brother Owen got eliminated in a Survivor Series match that featured the Heart family taking on Shawn Michaels and the Knights. Originally supposed to be Jerry Lawler and the Knights. Over the holiday season it was revealed that the Hearts had put their differences aside and Owen was back on track. The Hitman and his little bro were going to try to win the tag team championships at the 1994 Royal Rumble when they took on the Quebecers. Brett hurt his knee during the match and he tried to persevere. He was unable to apply a sharp shooter though and he couldn't stand up. The referee decided to stop the match and award the victory to Jacques and Pierre. Owen yelled at Brett for not tagging out and then Owen attacked his older brother. It was a little bit put together too because Owen cut a promo on Brett that was aired on the big screens as the Hitman was being helped to the back. Owen was rubbing salt in the wounds by berating his brother while he clearly needed medical attention but then Owen has his little slip up when he says he kicked Brett's leg out of his leg and that line kind of overshadows the whole thing. Still this is one that resonated with me when I was younger and it's pretty fun to go back and watch. That's funny. Owen and Brett would collide at WrestleMania 10 and Owen was able to beat his big brother on the WWF's biggest stage. That's how you do it man. That is how you do it create some good healings. A lot of hearts were broken when Andre the Jan showed up to Piper's pit on the 7th of February 1987 with Bobby Heenan. In order to build up their legendary WrestleMania 3 match, Hogan and Andre were guests on Piper's talk show segment and if you picked yourself back in that time period and if you remember the influence Hogan had as a baby face then you might be able to appreciate the emotion of this head turn. Hogan was already on set and when Andre walked out with Heenan, the Hulkster was in complete disbelief. Putting Bobby Heenan with Andre though was a stroke of genius because Heenan was the mouthpiece of the WWF at the time to the brand speaking on behalf of Andre. A few weeks earlier Hogan was presented with a trophy to commemorate 3 years since the Hulkster won the WWF championship. Andre made an appearance during Hogan's speech. He said 3 years is a long time to be champion and he gave Hulk a very firm handshake that threw Hogan off a little. Back in the Primetime studio Bobby Heenan wanted to know where Andre's trophy was and Grillamon soon said Andre's had plenty of accolades throughout his career. So the following week WWF gave Andre a trophy, a smaller trophy as pointed out by Bobby Heenan, but Hulk Hogan would come out and Hogan more or less states Andre's spotlight not intentionally mind you. Hogan wouldn't stop talking about how great it was that the WWF gave Andre a trophy, but the big man didn't want to hear it and Andre walked away. The following week both trophies were brought to Piper's pit. Ventura pointed out the size difference in the trophies while saying that Hulk Hogan's went out of his way to dodge certain challengers, challengers like Andre the Giant. So Ventura says that he's gonna bring Andre to Piper's pit the following week while Piper says that he'll get Hogan. Andre walks out the next week with Heenan, Hogan's in pure shock and he pours his red and yellow heart out to Andre. Hogan can't believe the Giant would side with Bobby Heenan, a man who's caused nothing but problems for Hulk and all the Hulkamaniacs. Andre was the reason Hogan wanted to become a wrestler, he's Hogan's role model, and to see him with Bobby Heenan is tearing Hogan apart. Heenan says that Hogan used Andre throughout his career, all Andre got was a small trophy, and even then Hogan got jealous so he had to run out and steal Andre's spotlight. Not once did Hulk Hogan ever give Andre a title shot and Andre's gonna challenge Hogan to a WrestleMania match right here on Piper's pit. Hogan says he and Andre are friends, Andre tells Hogan to get his hands off his shoulders, and then Andre makes the challenge official before ripping the shirt off Hogan's back and ripping the cross off that Hogan wears around his neck. Hogan leads here, it was totally unintentional, but it added a lot to the promo, and it's Roddy Piper who asked the console Hulk and get them back on his feet. They said this was a real good setup.  Oh, this was so good. One of my favorite blood feuds of all time. Triple H, HBK.  Hunters turned heel a few times in his career, but the one that pissed me off the most was when he turned on Shawn Michaels. This is so good. Being a big fan of 1997 WWF, I was very excited when D Generation X were set to make their return in the summer of 2002. Triple H had made a triumphant return to WW at the beginning of the year, while Shawn Michaels returned as part of the NWO. When the NWO angle fell apart, Triple H and Shawn Michaels decided to realign with each other. On the July 22nd, 2002 episode of Raw, HBK was down and out after Eric Bischoff told him he had to be Triple H's manager or he can leave WWE. Shawn said he was going to leave, Triple H had to talk him out of it. In a little later on, Triple H gave Shawn a shirt to wear because the two were going to go down to the ring and cut a promo. The DX, the music plays in the arena and the crowd goes crazy. In the game and the heartbreak kids turn back the clock by bringing D Generation X back to the world of wrestling. I fell for this hook line and sinker by the way, I had no idea what was coming. Shawn said just when you thought it was safe to put on the old gropplin show, DX or back in town, Triple H takes the mic and he goes through his are you ready routine. He finishes up and then he kicks HBK and hits him with a thunderous pedigree. D Generation X would not reunite on this evening as a matter of fact, fans would have to wait another 4 years before DX got back together. But this would all lead to Shawn Michaels returning to in-ring action at Summerslam 2002. Oh yeah, before that happened, Triple H tried to swerve everyone again by showing concern when Shawn was attacked backstage. He promised to find out who did it and make whoever did it pay for their crimes, but it turned out to be Triple H himself who jumped his old friend. This one was so memorable because it was done in such a way that was actually pretty believable. Randy Savage's 1989 hate turn was all about Macho's own insecurities and Macho's inability to control both his jealousy and his temper. He and Hulk Hogan had created a successful tag team known as the Megapars and the Megapars were insanely popular with younger audiences. They were truly a babyface stream team that featured two of the very best the WWF had to offer at the time, but the Megapars would explode in dramatic fashion and this would all lead to a big WrestleMania main event where it could be argued the build up was actually better than the match itself. Randy thought that Hulk Hogan was getting a little too friendly with Miss Elizabeth and he was picking up on a few things that Randy felt went beyond a professional relationship. The hate turn took place on the February 3rd, 1989 episode of the main event. The Megapars wrestled a king and the big boss man. Savage bumped into Liz, Liz got knocked out and Hulk Hogan decided to stop the match and carry Liz away to get medical attention. The Macho Man was left all on his own to fight two men while Hogan seemed way more interested in Miss Elizabeth.  Hogan of course defeated Akeem and the big boss man single-handedly, but he hurried back to check on Miss Elizabeth. Randy was already there giving Liz a hard time and then the Macho Man let it all out. He accused Hogan of trying to steal Miss Elizabeth away from him, he felt like he was taking a backseat in the Megapars, and when Hogan told Liz to talk some sense in the Randy, the Macho Man managed to attack and Savage turned Hale. The partnership was over, the feud had begun, and as mentioned, this would culminate in a WrestleMania match that of course Hulk Hogan won. Many would say that Randy was justified in turning Hale and it was actually Hulk Hogan who was the villain in all this. The key to it being a good Hale is that that Hale has to believe that they're in the right, and by all accounts, Randy had good reason to be annoyed, but this would turn out to be another very memorable turn and it was one of the better storylines WWF produced in the late 80s. Also, as a challenge, maybe let me know some of your favorite babyface turns too. We talk a lot about good guys turning into villains, but for many babyface turns it can be quite difficult sometimes to pinpoint the exact moment when the turn happened. Usually it's more of a natural progression or a slow build over time due to fan support, but if there's any that stuck out for you, let me know in the comments. I'm sure I hate the babyface video. I hope you enjoyed this one. Thank you for watching. Only turn Hale if you really need to and take care.  That's what you want.   They will pay money to see you get beat up, but they ultimately still appreciate what you do, man. So comment down below. Let me know what is your favorite heel turn of all time. If I really have to think about this, favorite heel turn of all time for me. It's been so many good ones, bro. So many good ones. For me, it's probably triple H's. Triple H's. His heel turn was so good against HPK, Shawn Michaels. And once again, Shawn just came back and then they tease DX that whole thing. Like he said, it got me. I was hooked.  My man was trying to end HPK's career. He was trying to end his career.  It was so personal. It felt so real. I loved it. It made me hate triple H.  That's one of my favorite heel turns of all time. Even though triple H was definitely healed throughout his mostly his career for a lot of bits, but it was just him turning on Shawn. That was so good. So you thought they were going to be baby faces together, thought it was going to work. Nah, it didn't go that way. And then another good one, obviously, Seth Rollins. And a recent one is Roman Reigns. Those are like, if I had to get like a top three, Seth Rollins was really good. Roman Reigns was fantastic as well. So, but comment down below. Let me know your favorite heel turn of all time. But I appreciate all love and support. Road to 150k. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all next one. Peace.
