I don't befriend people that are negative. As soon as I sense some negativity from somewhere, as soon as I sense some sort of weird vibes from someone, I don't befriend them. This doesn't mean I'm gonna be rude to them, but I don't go out of my way to befriend them. I love people in the pursuit of looking popular, of looking like they have a great social life. They try to befriend people they don't even like. They go around, try to make their social circle really large, make new friends, try to make everybody happy, but that's not the way. Realize that only a select few people are gonna understand you. They don't really understand you. And these are the people that you should be friends with, that you should actually spend time for. Don't waste your time with people that are just there for appearances in some pretentious way that I love you. You know what?  See that chicken there? That's my friend. So be really more aware of who you hang out with. How negative are they? When you're telling about your goals, do they do they automatically shun them? Do they automatically say something to discourage you from it? When you achieve great things, are they jealous? Are they envious? Or do they support you? Are your friends stepping up as well?   Not friends that secretly want to see your demise. Because that's the strange thing about human nature. A lot of people get pleasure in seeing other people fall. People don't like seeing people succeed because it reminds them of how they are not succeeding. So be more aware of your friends. Choose your friends carefully. Don't befriend everybody.  Real quick video. I gotta go out tonight, guys. So I'll upload this real quick. I hope you guys enjoy it. And of course, like, comment, and let's discuss down in the comment section. Should you be friends with everybody?  And be friends with only those people that truly, truly respect you and wish the best for you. Anyway guys, peace. I'm going to show you how to be part of the notification gang. It's sort of simple. Click subscribe.  Boom, bam, boom. That's it. And you get notifications as soon as the videos are up. Peace.


The term decriolization describes a process in which a creole language gradually loses its basalectal or creole features and becomes more similar to the acrylic or the standard language from which it is derived. The speakers alter the language in the direction of the acrylic, which is generally associated with prestige and a higher social status. The target of decriolization, however, remains unclear among scholars, but it is thought to be due to social pressure and negative attitudes towards speakers of the creole language. Decriolization thus creates a continuum ranging from the basalect to the acrylic. In between there is a spectrum of intermediate varieties, the miselects. An example is the creole continuum in Jamaica. It ranges from the basalect, Jamaican creole, which emerged from a pigeon and was initially used by slaves, to Jamaican English as a miselect decriolized from the basalect to the acrylic English. Moreover, there is a theory that African American English is a decriolized creole as well, originating from a basalectal slave creole to become an English miselect. It was suggested that when African Americans achieved equality under the law, the increased contact with the standard variety of American English and the increased opportunity for social mobility resulted in the loss of some basalectal features of the slave creole. In some creoles, the number of lexical borrowings from the standard is said to show the degree of decriolization, as in the French-based Thaisian Creole. More often, however, phonological and especially morphosyntactic features are affected by decriolization.


Good afternoon and welcome. We're coming to you from day two of the Fiji Symposium in Bangalore, the platform for talks and dialogues and financial inclusion. And with me is the founder of BIT, Oliver Gale. Welcome. Hi. Thank you very much. How does it feel to be part of the first ever Fiji Symposium? It's fantastic. This forum is long overdue and it's really good to have different influencers and regulatory government bodies from around the world, as well as the private sector coming together to tackle one of the most important issues that our generation faces. Financial inclusion. Absolutely. So tell us a little more about BIT and what is the vision for the future. Sure. So BIT is a financial technology company started by my co-founder and I in Barbados in 2013. Originally we had an idea of providing access to cryptocurrency for everyone in the Caribbean. And as we began tackling those challenges, we realized that the entire financial infrastructure is broken, essentially, and it's locking hundreds of millions, billions of people out of the formal financial system. We see blockchain technology as a way to enable every person, man, woman and child, to access financial services. And so our vision is to provide the technology infrastructure to allow each person to connect to a global economy, to be able to receive payments, make payments, launch a business and effectively access all of the services which today are not available to most people. And in your road to actually making BIT what it is, what are the few challenges that you faced and how do you think you overcame them? Yeah, I mean, you know, we've come a long way since we started in 2013 in awareness and understanding of blockchain technology and how it's applied. And a lot of that has been an education process. BIT works very closely with central banks and regulators to help to really hurdle those barriers. If you don't understand the game-changing nature of distributed ledger technologies, then it's impossible to take a position. So we're very passionate about blockchain technology, this application and the solutions to financial inclusion and access and its forms like these that allow us to further educate and advance the establishment of, because what we really need is sandbox environments. And so we need to have a way in which the private sector can roll out the solutions with this new technology and show to the market, to the regulators, to the academics that these systems work, they exist, and they do provide financial access and inclusion, they do improve lives. So really facilitating the creation of those environments is the biggest challenge and we've made tremendous progress, you know, and its forms like Fiji which are enabling these new technologies to be rolled out. And congratulations on a fantastic product that you've made and we hope to see it implemented across the world. Thank you very much. Thank you so much.

Well, Osgood Conklin, the principal of Madison High where Armist Brooks teaches English, has inflicted a number of severe restrictions on his school in the past. Last week, he set up a series of petty offenses for which his students and faculty were to be fined. Of course, these fines were purely voluntary. Yes, like income taxes. I was telling my landlady about his latest injustice last Thursday at breakfast. Of course, Mrs. Davis, the fines all go into a fund which will be used to buy a brand new statue for the library. What kind of a statue? A statue of the man who Osgood Conklin admires and respects more than anyone else in the world. Who's that? Who else? Osgood Conklin. See, when he first thought of the idea, he put a receptacle in the hall for donations marked Osgood Conklin Bus. But at the end of the day, he found six notes in it reading, you said it. That was what gave him the idea for the carelessness code. Leave it to Osgood. You don't have to leave it, he takes it. What bothers me most, though, is the way he takes it. Every time he catches somebody committing one of the offenses, which he makes up as he goes along, he rattles a tin can and says, feed the kitty, feed the kitty. Has he caught you yet, Connie? Has he? I've fed the kitty so often I feel like a tall mouse. Take last Tuesday, for instance, I happened to run into Mr. Boynton in the hall. Well, I just didn't happen to run into him, I sort of aimed myself at him. But just as my favorite biologist and I greeted each other, the bell rang for the next period and Mr. Conklin came by and fined me a dime for not being in my classroom. That is strict. Oh, that's nothing. Wednesday I hit a parlay.  But Connie, do you have to submit to all these fines? I mean, has Mr. Conklin the right to do this? We voted on it in assembly. Of course, it was really more like a plebiscite.  It isn't the money I missed so much. It's the lunches I could have bought with it. Imagine it. Not having enough money for lunch. I don't have to imagine it. Those fines add up, you know. Oh, poor dear. It has been an expensive week for you, hasn't it? Yes, and that's what worries me so much today. I haven't got a dime in my purse. He can get me on a vagrancy wrap. Oh, well, maybe it's for the best. The less I have on me, the less I can donate to the bus. A for the bus. Well, I had a good breakfast anyway. I'd better get ready to leave now. Walter Denton's picking me up any minute. But where's your car, Connie? At the tailor's, Mrs. Davis. The tailor's? Don't you mean the garage, Connie? No, I'm having it pressed. The last time I drove it in traffic, I got it all wrinkled. I'm glad you called for me promptly today, Walter. The Conklin code provides a stiff fine for tardiness. Believe me, Miss Brooks, my punctuality was not inspired by purely altruistic motives. I don't like the way things are going at Madison High. This Conklin code is nothing but medieval tyranny. The entire code's founded on injustice. Miss Brooks, I've talked it over with the other kids at school and we've appointed you our leader. Me? You are the logical member of the faculty to cross swords with Mr. Conklin. Oh, now, wait a minute, Walter. I've crossed swords with Mr. Conklin often enough to know that all you can get out of it is a bent sword. You can't avoid this responsibility, Miss Brooks. We've got to fight fire with fire. You are the knight we have chosen to slay the dragon. Oh, I'm sorry, Walter, but my card in the dragon slayer's union has expired. Besides, the bust is supposed to be finished by tomorrow. Yeah, but how do we know there's enough in the kitty to pay for it? Oh, here's the school. Did I stop too suddenly for you? Oh, not at all. I always like to kiss the windshield goodbye. Oh, before I let you out, I'd like to ask another favor, Miss Brooks. Would you, would you please hold this 40 cents for me? 40 cents? Yeah, it's my lunch money. I don't want to have it on me in case Mr. Conklin finds me for breaking some rule he makes up right after I've broken it. Just put it in your purse for me, will ya? All right, Walter. Added to what I've got in there now, it totals one broken watch crystal and 40 cents. Yeah, I'll find a place to park.  All right, Walter. Thanks for the beer. Maybe I'd better tiptoe past Mr. Conklin's office. Squeaky shoes, 20 cents. Conklin. Come on, Miss Brooks. Feed the kitty, feed the kitty. Please, Mr. Conklin, we've got to talk this thing over. Very well. Would you like to step into my office? Thank you. Wouldn't you like to sit down? Yes, I would. I thought you would. That'll be 10 cents for not going straight to your first class. Come on, Miss Brooks. Feed the kitty, feed the kitty. Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about, Mr. Conklin. Many of the students are getting a little tired of your carelessness code. Oh, is this in subordination? About a nickel's worth, yes. I'm surprised at you, Miss Brooks. Don't you realize where this money's going? Yes, Mr. Conklin. It's going into a statue. Not just a statue, Miss Brooks. Rather, the statue. Which will serve as an inspiration to unborn generations of Madison High students. Then why not let them pay for it? I mean, just where are you going to put this statue, Mr. Conklin? Why, in the school library, of course. On that lovely mahogany pedestal that overlooks the entrance. You mean next to the bust of Julius Caesar? Instead of it, Miss Brooks. Before the Board of Education takes their next inventory, Caesar may meet with an accident. That's possible. He met with one before. No, I mean the statue, Miss Brooks. Who knows? Inadvertently, it might be severely damaged. Why, Mr. Conklin, you're not thinking of that. I'm not out loud. I'm not. Oh, before I forget, Miss Brooks, I want you to straighten out the records in the library at once. Walter Denton's been acting as school librarian for the past few weeks and needless to say he's made a mess of everything. But, Mr. Conklin, my regular school duties are quite enough to keep me. Oh, just won't interfere with your school duties, Miss Brooks. I hereby grant you permission to attend to this matter after school hours. Why, Mr. Conklin, how charming of you. But about this carelessness code... Oh, thanks for reminding me, you owe me 30 cents. Feed the kitty! But I haven't got any money, Mr. Conklin. Please, Miss Brooks, I distinctly heard your purse rattle when you sat down. Oh, well, I might as well add embezzling to my other crimes. Here you are, Mr. Conklin. But, Miss Brooks, I only asked for 30 cents. You put 40 in the kitty. Well, hang on to it, Mr. Conklin. I'll try my best to earn another fine before the day is out. Rain, white rain. The familiar white rain song in new march rhythm.  For hair, brightest sunshine. White rain is a gentle, rich, lotion shampoo. So gentle, it's like washing your hair in softest rainwater. With white rain, you get wonderful rainwater soft suds. Rich and refreshing. With white rain, you get wonderful rainwater clean rinsing. And that's why white rain always leaves your hair sparkling with natural highlights. Bright as sunshine. So for lovely hair, soft as a cloud, easy to manage, and sunshine bright, march out and get white rain shampoo. Look for it in the blue carton with a white umbrella on it. Remember... White rain, white rain. Use new white rain shampoo tonight. And tomorrow your hair will be sunshine bright. White rain, white rain. It's always been my experience that nothing stimulates the appetite quite as much as an empty pocketbook. It was with this poignant thought in mind that I entered the cafeteria at lunchtime and joined Mr. Boynton at his well-laden table. Miss Brooks, you haven't brought anything with you. Can I get you anything? No, thank you, Mr. Boynton.  Isn't there something I can do for you? No, thanks. Just let me sit here and inhale. You see, I'm on sort of a diet, Mr. Boynton. I don't know why you have to diet. I'll bet most women wish they had your figure. I wish they did, too. They could feed it better. How is the beef with that barbecue sauce on it? Delicious. Would you like a taste, Miss Brooks? Oh, well... Oh, I'm sorry. If you're on a diet, I'd better not tempt you. Oh, tempt me, tempt me. Oh, I know how difficult it is sometimes to stay on a diet. Put some of that meat on this fork or I'll spear it from here. There. Mmm, that is good. Of course, to me, roast beef is good with or without barbecue sauce. Oh, to me, too. Oh, really? Oh, I'm the one schoolteacher who offers proof positive. Pass some over without the sauce. Here you are, Miss Brooks. Oh, say that is good meat. Mmm, it's a funny thing about tasting roast beef plain. You forget how it tasted with the barbecue sauce on it. Well, Miss Brooks, you don't really want another... All right. Here you are. Oh, gosh. Gosh, Miss Brooks, one would think you hadn't had any lunch all week. One would be on the right track. There you go. Kidding me again. Oh, what a sense of humor. Yeah. Hunger is a scream. Maybe I'd better drop one more subtle hint. Mr. Boynton. Yes? I'm starving, Mr. Boynton. Starving? Yes.  Why don't I... Well, I'm against all these diets women inflict upon themselves. Mr. Boynton, I haven't eaten any lunch today because I don't have the money to buy any. You don't? No. Well, where is all your money? I'm land poor. Land poor? If the Conklin Carelessness Code continues, I'll land in the poor house. Look, Mr. Boynton, I never borrow money if I can help it. Oh, I know you don't, Miss Brooks. I think that's one of your most admirable traits. Why, many is the time I've been tempted to offer you some financial assistance. But I've always said to myself, don't you dare, Boynton. Miss Brooks is proud, proud and resourceful. She'll come through somehow. That's what you said to yourself, huh? Yes, indeed. You've got to be more careful who you talk to. Listen, Mr. Boynton, it's getting pretty close to the end of lunch period.  I mean, could you lend me 25 cents? 25 cents? Well, of course, Miss Brooks. Here you are. Oh, thanks. I'll pay you back just as soon as I can. Oh, don't worry about paying me back. Any time tonight will do. Tonight? Have we got a date for tonight? Oh, didn't I tell you? I've got tickets for the band concert on the mall. I thought we'd spend the afternoon in the park or then have some dinner and dance and take in the concert. How does that sound to you? Oh, listen, two bits, two? It sounds wonderful, Mr. Boynton. I'll just get a sandwich or something and come right back to the table. All right, Miss Brooks. I'd better hurry. It's almost... So it is, Miss Brooks. Mr. Conklin? And if memory serves, you were supposed to be straightening out the library records after lunch. Is that correct? Oh, yes, Mr. Conklin, it is, but I've got an important engagement I'd like to keep this afternoon. It isn't always what we'd like to do that matters, Miss Brooks. You volunteered to work in the library, and that's where you'll have to spend the afternoon. But, Mr. Conklin... Unfortunately, while you were standing here chattering, you've incurred another fine for tardiness. Tardiness? That'll be 25 cents, Miss Brooks. Feed the kitty, feed the kitty. Our Miss Brooks will return in a moment. Imagine yourself in prison, locked away from all that makes life worth living, from all news of the outside world as well. Imagine then what it would mean to hear a voice speaking directly to you, telling you you were not forgotten and how you might possibly find freedom again. Imagining all this, you have some idea of what it is like to live in one of the countries behind the Iron Curtain, and then hear the voice of Radio Free Europe. Radio Free Europe broadcasts up to 20 hours of truth a day to the people of Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Hungary and Poland. And though the communists try desperately to jam the broadcasts, they go through. They go through bringing the voices of compatriots who have escaped through the Iron Curtain and know exactly the problems that are faced at home as well as how they can be fought, even with good fortune overcome. If you would like to join those thousands of private citizens in the United States who make Radio Free Europe possible, send your truth dollars to the Crusade for Freedom, care of your local postmaster. After what I laughingly called my lunch period, I joined Walter Denton in the school library to help him straighten out the card files. I'm afraid I didn't keep these library cards very neatly, Miss Brooks. They're pretty thoroughly scrambled. If I had some catsup, I'd have had them for lunch. Now, you'd better let me straighten these cards out myself. You find something else to do. Okay, Miss Brooks. I'll grab a rag and dust off Old Marblehead. Old Marblehead? That's what we call the Statue of Caesar, because his head is made out of marble. Of course, even though Mr. Conklin's head isn't made out of marble, we also call him... Yes, I know. If you needn't bother dusting off this Old Marblehead, somebody else in school is planning to dust it off permanently. In fact, Caesar may meet with an accident almost any time now. I beg your pardon, Miss Brooks. Well, what do you know, the Ides of March? These floors are quite slippery. A person could very easily lose his balance. You're the first! Gosh, you accidentally knocked Old Conklin, Mr. Marblehead. Quiet, quiet, quiet.  Why, I love this Statue of Caesar with his delicately chiseled features, his pine Roman nose. You'd better learn to love him without his nose. It just rolled under the desk. Here, Walter, help me lift Caesar back on the pedestal. No, no, no, no. Please, please. It was my clumice that knocked it off. I'll lift it back on myself. Steady does it. Good. Walter. Yes, Miss Brooks? Set Caesar up in the next alley. Mr. Conklin's got another shot coming. Well, I dropped in to inform you, Miss Brooks, that thanks to your last contribution, my statue has been paid for in full. It will be delivered tomorrow morning and unveiled at noon. I shall want it kept under cover until we... But Denton, what are you stuffing into that canvas bag? The things that are Caesars, Mr. Conklin. His ears and his nose. Also, the rest of him. I figured I could take it over to the shop and patch it up a little. Just leave it where it is, Denton. You see, Miss Brooks, we have only the one pedestal. Haven't we, Jess? And since Julius has been so brutally damaged... Oh, he won't be damaged anymore, Mr. Conklin. I'll see to that. This statue is school property. And if anyone tries to injure it in any way, I'll report him to the student council and the board of education. Zealous little beagle isn't it? Denton, you are dismissed as of right now. Yeah, but Mr. Conklin... Go, boys! Goodbye, boy. And now then, Miss Brooks, if you'll excuse me, I'll return in just a little while and personally take care of fixing that statue. Yes, I know you will, Mr. Conklin. But good. Pardon me, Miss Brooks, but where shall I put this statue? Statue? Oh, just put it on the desk here for now. Well, if it isn't old marble head, the second. That's a pretty good likeness of Mr. Conklin, isn't it? If you like Mr. Conklin's likeness, yes. But this wasn't supposed to be delivered until tomorrow. I know, but the custodian just told me they wanted to surprise Mr. Conklin. Is there any place we could hide it temporarily? Hide it? Why, yes. Yes, there is a place we could hide it, Mr. Boynton. Right in this canvas bag. First, you'll have to take out this busted bust. All right. There we go. There. Oh, it's Julius Caesar. Say his nose is off and his ear. Please, Mr. Boynton, there's no time to cut up touches with Julius. Now slip Mr. Conklin's statue into the bag. All right. There he goes. Now, what'll we do with Caesar? We'll take him over to the shop and fix him up the best we can. He's just got to occupy that pedestal, Mr. Boynton. Pedestal? But I don't understand, Miss Brooks. Well, I'll explain it to you on the way over. You see, Mr. Conklin assigned me to work in this library, and if I'm going to look at a statue all day, I'd like to make very certain that it's... Miss Brooks? Hmm, she must have stepped out for a moment. So much the better. Oh, yes, here's the canvas bag with old marble heads still in it. Now, we'll just take this little hammer and commence. Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Well, Mr. Conklin, what are you doing? Well, it should be obvious, even to you, Miss Brooks. Yes. Well, Mr. Conklin, there's something I feel I should tell you. Very well, Miss Brooks, but while you're telling me I'll continue with the business at hand. It's like this, Mr. Conklin. I would normally be very loath to interrupt what is obviously such a joyful hobby to you, but I feel that what I have to tell you merits your immediate attention. Well, what is it, Miss Brooks? Well, if it was something trivial, like being disgruntled over having to work in the library instead of going on a date with Mr. Boynton, who is now in the park by himself, I might hesitate to bother you. What are you driving at, Miss Brooks? Well, the main point is that I'd like to get across to you, Mr. Conklin. I have absolutely no hard feelings toward you, and I trust you have none toward me. None whatsoever? Good. Now, open the bag. Open the bag. Yes, Mr. Conklin. I'm afraid you'll find you've pulverized the wrong statue. You see, your statue arrived earlier, and we wanted to surprise you, so we put it in that bag. What? I'm in here? That's right. Mr. Conklin, how come Mr. Conklin is getting his nose put back on? But, Miss Brooks, you just stood there. All the time I was hammering you just... How could you... Why didn't you just... Please, Mr. Conklin, remember your... But what will I do? What will I do when the Board of Education comes to take inventory? What will I put on that pedestal? Oh, calm down, Mr. Conklin. I just found out it'll only cost $15 to repair the bust of Caesar. I just thought of a delightful way to collect the money. Really? How, Miss Brooks? He's the kitty, Mr. Conklin. He's the kitty. How, Miss Brooks, starring Eve Arden Transcribe, was produced and directed by Larry Burns, written by Joe Cullen and Alois with the music of Wilbur Hatch. Mr. Conklin was played by Gail Gordon. Others in tonight's cast were Jane Morgan, Dick Crenna, and Bob Rockwell. Be sure to be with us next week for another comedy episode of Our, Miss Brooks.


since COVID hit there's not a lot that we can do so the fact that we're doing the spring concerts it's a nice experience to reach out to our community. I know that that was one of our priorities is for the whole the whole unit all the Marines to be safe and protected even the people that we be performing for. I do foresee the band continue doing this even as the COVID restrictions lift off it is something new and heard of so the fact that each concert we get a bigger crowd I could imagine how great it would be if we were to continue this.


And here we are back in Blair Athol. This time behind me there's a five-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom, stunning mansion, contemporary mansion I would say. It is absolutely incredible. If you want to live somewhere that feels like you're out of the city, but with easy access to all of the business hubs, this is where it's at. Equestrian estate, gymnasium, restaurants, stables. You name it, this estate, the Athol estate has it, and it is one of the most exclusive names in the real estate industry. So come with me as we take you through this stunning home and show you all of its features. And I think it's one thing I've got left to say to you, and that's welcome home. Posing double doors, letting you know without a doubt what you're walking into is something special. We find ourselves in an entrance hall, and this entrance hall has a few nice key features. One, the chandeliers above me. I love good lighting, and that is without a doubt some good lighting. We have wall-to-wall windows, letting in so much natural light, making this area feel warm and inviting. And off this entrance hall, we can either move off into the living areas or some of the bedrooms, or art into this stunning patio area. So let's start where we always do. Let's move into the living areas. Let's take a look at the kitchen, the dining area, the TV areas, and then let's take a look at the bedrooms. Follow me. And here we are approaching a second set of double doors leading you into your lounge area slash dining room with the kitchen on the far end. I love the fact that all of this is open plan. And one thing that is without a doubt, standout, is these sliding doors over here, letting you, well, giving you really an unobstructed view of the fourth hole of the Gary Player golf course. This is the second longest golf course in the world, and you'll see down there the Crocodile River. So really, if you want views and you want views in Blair Ethel, those are the views you want. But let's talk a little bit about this lounge area. However, plenty of space here, two couches fitting comfortably as well as this area rug above us, down lighting, so you've got no chandeliers in a place that you'd want to watch TV, nothing getting in the way of that wall there that you can mount a beautiful LCD screen. Then let's talk about these tiles, because I really think they do deserve a mention. Really big tiles, glossy making a room that is already spacious, feel all that more comfortable, clean cut, really nice. I do appreciate good tile choices in homes like this, because I could so easily make or break a home. But yeah, we are the dining room area. The key focal point where any kitchen really does come together. I mean, this dining room table is stunning, but really take a look at the chandelier above you, all glass, beautiful down lighting. And then over here for those cold winter evenings, we've got an inbuilt fireplace. And this is one of those smokeless fireplace, fully enclosed, giving you all that heat, but none of the smell afterwards. And then a feature wall of here that is not wallpaper. I know it looks really great, but these are real bricks in Laidonia. Love feature walls, love what they do into areas like this. But now without further ado, we are coming up to the kitchen area, beautiful grey, Caesar stone countertops making up this central island and above it again. Another impeccable choice in lighting is this rectangular chandelier hanging above. Now generally all of the lights will be turned on really showing you how glorious it makes this home look. But unfortunately, we are dealing with load shedding. However, the cameraman has thought ahead, arrived before load shedding. So we're going to be overlaying me with all the images and videos of this house with the lights on. So you guys can appreciate just how nice it looks. However, we need to carry on over here. Stunning smeg oven as well as gas top. We've got six burners here, beautiful oven. And I love how this stainless steel piece almost acts as artwork for this kitchen. On the right-hand side, a continuation of the beautiful grey Caesar stone. We've got a chef's sink here, which is a staple for homes of this quality. And this one has one of those nice removable nozzles when you are washing up or prepping your meals. But really another key feature and almost art piece over this kitchen is this double-framed window looking out onto the grounds, beautiful green grounds. If you're cooking, who's going to ask for more? In terms of storage space, you know this place has got you covered. We've got plenty of under-counter storage as well as above-counter storage. And another feature in this kitchen that I think so many people overlook are the handles of the drawers. I love these handles. I think they are very, very nice. And it gives you that farmhouse feel in a home that is very contemporary and modern at the same time. And over here, one of the hidden fridges built into the cupboards. I love the detailing on the cupboards as well. Really nice solid wood and that quality really shines through throughout this home. Behind me, we've got the scullery area. Excuse the echo if it comes through on the mic, but take a look at the scullery area. Plenty of space here. Another one of the stunning windows looking out onto the field. We've got a double-sink under-counter storage for all of the appliances you might need. And over here, a really nice wall unit providing all the storage you might need. Soft clothes, cupboards, quality throughout. And quality is so important. You buy into a lot of these homes and only once you've moved in, you realise the small little things that might throw you off but not in this home. Absolutely stunning. But when talking about high-end homes, what is more high-end than having your very own walk-in refrigerator? Now on your way out of that pantry area, if we open this door on my right-hand side, that leads you to your double garage that's located on this side of the home. There's another single garage catered on the opposite wing of the home. That's a single garage and we're going to show you that. So let's take a walk again through these beautiful living areas. It's past these stunning black double doors that come through your entrance hall. And we'll find ourselves actually approaching another dining area. Now this could be your formal dining area, it could be your informal dining area. I love how it's located right here by some of the bedrooms. And a key selling point of wanting to have dinner in this dining area are these windows behind me. Floor to ceiling, it must be about four metres up, giving you unobstructed views of the greenery behind you as well as those trees off in the distance. It really does act as an incredible art piece. And sitting here having dinner must really be something to enjoy. Over here however you've got your half bathroom. This bathroom includes a single vanity, under counter storage and a toilet tucked away on the right-hand side. Opposite your half bathroom is your office space and here it is right here. Stunning pool table taking up the majority of it. But I love how we've swapped those large gloss tiles for beautiful warm wood flooring above us. We've got central air conditioning as well as these inline spotlights dominating the centre of the room giving you light exactly where you need it. We've got this inbuilt wall unit here. The design elements of the grey continuing throughout the home. I love how this has been built but really who doesn't want to sit down and do work with this view right here. Pocket doors opening up onto this balcony area. We've got stainless steel and glass railings and then unobstructed greenery. Now the owner of this home left a lot of open spaces in the yard as you can see over here as well as over there so that potential home owners here can really bring their own vision to life. If you want to put up an entertainment area if you want to do jacuzzi's maybe even another wing of the home at gymnasium you can do all of that here. You've got the space to really bring your own personal touch to this home which I love. Now another pocket door leading you into the first bedroom of the home that we're going to show you. This bedroom has also got another really cool feature. This central dividing area acts as your cupboards on the other side so pop off on this side and let's take a look at the cupboard area. Now this bedroom's dividing wall acts as a cupboard area. If you go around the back you'll see all the cupboards built into it, plenty of storage space here and also leads off into its very own en suite bathroom. The en suite bathroom's got stunning marble countertops single vanity, under counter storage and a walk in shower that is fully glass framed. The remainder of the bedroom also incorporates that beautiful wood inlays with windows giving you plenty of natural light as well as access to that central air conditioning system the lightings all provided by soft downlights. Walking out of this bedroom will bring you to the access to your single car garage and then take you straight back to the dining room area we just spoke about. But now let's take another stroll down the outside patio enjoy the greenery behind you because I'd love to talk about this entertainment area there's so many things to mention. One, if we talk about lighting we do have downlights we've got this massive pocket door closing off your entrance hall from this outside area but let's go over here because we've got a chef's sink under counter storage, stunning stainless steel gas stove so if you're all having briars out here you know you've got yourself covered in terms of any entertainment you might want. This is a huge area as you can see all of this furniture fits in here very very comfortably but for me this would be my favorite area you've got a built-in bar beautiful wood inlays for the counter that's continued behind you in this feature wall over here the wood does look like bamboo it really is such a stunning addition to this bar two cupboards as well as cupboards underneath and cupboards

steel staircase take a look through another one of those floor to ceiling windows at the grounds outside and take a look at what the first floor in this incredible home has in stock for us and the

In this video, I will be sharing the top reviews of the book called, American Marxism, written by Mark R. Levin. This book is currently on the New York best-sellers list for the last two weeks. Before I get to the review part let's see what this book is about. In 2009, Mark R. Levin galvanized conservatives with his unforgettable manifesto liberty and tyranny, by providing a philosophical, historical, and practical framework for halting the liberal assault on constitution-based values. That book was about standing at the precipice of progressivism's threat to our freedom and now, over a decade later, we're fully over that precipice and paying the price. In American Marxism, Levin explains how the core elements of Marxist ideology are now pervasive in American society and culture, from our schools, the press, and corporations, to Hollywood, the Democratic Party, and the Biden presidency, and how it is often cloaked in deceptive labels like, progressivism, democratic socialism, social activism, and more. With his characteristic Trenchin analysis, Levin digs into the psychology and tactics of these movements, the widespread brainwashing of students, the anti-American purposes of critical race theory and the Green New Deal, and the escalation of repression and censorship to silence opposing voices and enforce conformity. Levin exposes many of the institutions, intellectuals, scholars, and activists who are leading this revolution, and provides us with some answers and ideas on how to confront them. As Levin writes, the counter-revolution to the American Revolution is in full force. And it can no longer be dismissed or ignored for it is devouring our society and culture, swirling around our everyday lives, and ubiquitous in our politics, schools, media, and entertainment. And, like before, Levin seeks to rally the American people to defend their liberty. Now let's see some reviews. Seamus Brooks says if ever there were a poster child for the Dunning-Kruger effect, it is Mark R. Levin. Does this man live on another planet?  Just because Trump lost, the sky is falling? Levin's writing manages to be legalistic, wooden, and alarmist all at the same time, and exhausting chore to read. It's unclear if his overuse of block quotes throughout the book is to compensate for his lack of talent as an author or just sheer laziness. If you'd like a good chuckle, have a look at the book's endnotes and check out the sources Mr. Levin uses to back up this scholarly treatise. Levy Collar, Breitbart, Fox Business, Washington Times, ad infinitum. Why not conserve a pedia too? No, Levin only cites respectable news organizations here. Linda Gallella from New Jersey says Mark shines a light on all the crazy that perpetuates the headlines of today's media, BLM, Antifa, CRT, the squad, activists, socialists, and every sort of equity you can think of.  It's insidious. Levin gives more than most authors. His perspective is well documented and supported as are his suggestions for how to take up the cause to restore democracy to our country and his plan is very specific. Boycott, divestment, sanctions. A plan that has been used on the nation of Israel can be applied to various factions within our own country's business, finance, education and government in order to bring them to heal, to return to sanity. From there, Mark goes on with a detailed plan to rescue education, both lower and higher, major corporations, climate initiatives and a start with law enforcement and the sheer lack of responsibility on the part of the government to take responsibility for charging participants of BLM, Antifa, and other social causes that have killed, destroyed, stolen, burned. Sean from New York says this was an extremely lazy effort from Mark Levin. The majority of this book is quotations. Of course, if you are going to argue against the position of someone you are going to use quotations at times, but Levin depends on them for absolutely everything. If there is a topic he wants to discuss, critical race theory, for example, he'll introduce it and try to explain what it is using quotes, then he'll quote his adversaries, and then he'll use quotes to attack his adversaries. Besides introducing who he's quoting, his own contributions are minimal. Something like, indeed, today we see this strategy playing out in communities all across the country. Or, hence, as we see today, the spawning of numerous movements based on these beliefs are oftentimes, for all intents and purposes, what Levin himself has to add to a topic. At times he just offer a quote and then simply write, so true. Levin even continually quotes himself throughout the book. Countless times he quotes passages from his previous books. The general tenor of the book is like someone sitting around a campfire trying to scare children with stories about slender man. Except for the boogeyman here is Marxism. It's alleged that Marxism is everywhere, insidiously releasing its nefarious poison all throughout American society.  Perhaps the most ludicrous assertion is that corporate boardrooms and corporations are havens for Marxism. Imagine, a union busting plutocrat like Jeff Bezos is really a Marxist. Lee from Texas says let's be clear, this book should be filed under fiction, poorly written fiction at that. It's really difficult to make it through this regurgitation of Fox News. People to know what the people who are actively trying to destroy our country think though. Oak Pollard from the United Kingdom says predictably vacuous and the worst of mass appeal ideological polemics. Threats to the nation and family, invocation of tradition and an omnipresent enemy undermining our society. The formula is simple and rarely fails, no matter how lazily done or how old the tactic. The book's argument is theoretically sloppy and proceeds in the most basic form, both analytically and linguistically. Luckily for Levin, books like this do not need to deal in facts or meaningfully engage with the supposed object of critique. I have read many reviews of this book and I can say that there are positive and negative ways to see this. But in my experience whenever there is a book written on political matters that is complete propaganda. It depends on people's personal views that if it is good propaganda or bad one. My suggestion is that if you are not into politics then skip this book. Thanks for watching.


So it's my pleasure now to introduce the final speaker of this session, and that is Dr. Karen Devin. Karen is an endocrine surgeon, general surgeon. She has an appointment at the Women's College Hospital and an associate staff appointment at the University Health Network of Toronto. Karen was our very first endocrine surgery fellow here at the University of Chicago, and she also did the ethics fellowship and since being back at the University of Toronto, she's been doing some tremendous work. So Karen, welcome. Thank you so much. It's great to be back. I just want to acknowledge a few people. In particular, Ryan Snellgrove was a fellow who did a lot of this research with me and allowed me to shorten a longer talk that he created for today. And of course Peter Angelos, who has been a tremendous mentor for me over the past five years. And without my experiences here at the McLean Centre, certainly would not be really along this career path at all. Traditionally, matters of technical information and the transmission of technical skills have been thought to light the heart of surgical knowledge and education. And while obviously technical knowledge is essential to surgical training, residency training is also a period of transmitting professional identity and the associated rules and expectations for behaviour. These are not the same types of knowledge. And while we do a relatively great job at technical training, I think we could be doing better making surgeons. So when I got to Toronto, someone gave me the advice to study what pisses you off. And what was pissing me off was that upon my arrival as the new surgeon ethicist, I was being bombarded with emails throughout the entire university programme asking me to do these add-on ethics lectures. And so I really wanted to try something different. And so I said yes to a lot of those things at the beginning to get some credibility. And now I'm saying no and trying to do things a little bit differently. So four years ago in an effort to improve the curriculum in Toronto, I introduced an ethics component into the surgical M&M rounds at five hospitals at the University of Toronto. It was a huge surgical programme with over 200 faculty and several hundred residents. This was actually inspired by rounds here that were started by the department of surgery here at the University of Chicago. So ethics M&Ms consist of 30 minutes per month wherein the ethics issues is the complication being discussed at M&Ms. So these cases would not have otherwise been presented. Residents prepare the case with a simple framework that I created based on the four-box model. And they do a literature search to find some data and knowledge on the topic and come prepared to apply it to the case. So a real case is presented as it occurred and in the same method that any M&M would be presented, and the focus of the discussion is on the ethical dilemma. The scope of the issues has been very wide, includes belief in miracles, surgical innovation, VIP patients, resource allocation in the operating room, residents operating independently, which we've heard a lot about, and disclosure of other physicians' errors. And so we wanted to evaluate the impact of this. We used a constructivist-grounded theory approach. This is a qualitative methodology where we performed semi-structured interviews and all four team members reviewed the transcripts in an iterative approach with constant comparison of data generated until we saturated themes. There were 21 participants in the study, not in the M&Ms. And this included nine residents and 12 faculty. We used an open-ended approach to interviews with purpose of sampling and interviewed a wide range of participants to really represent all experiences. We even tried to identify deviant samples, so people who loved it, people who hated it, people who never attended. And then as the theory was built, additional participants were found to sort of fill in necessary gaps. And so as I present this qualitative research, I'm going to show you some quotes which are representative of these findings. So first we're going to talk about the findings from residents and faculty who had not attended rounds or who were reflecting on previous experience with ethics education. These typically included mandatory workshops or lecture sessions. So the first theme was that ethics education is painful. Ethics was always an add-on, and there was a sense of, oh no, another ethics teaching session I didn't want to be involved with, nor did the faculty. Ethics education is ancillary. So the focus is more, oh, sorry. The focus is more on, oh, the decision-making, communication with the family or the patient. There was less emphasis on the actual medicine. Ethics education is not teachable. So the thought that one's moral character is already established prior to entry into the program and that this could not be reshaped, which is, as you know, quite contrary to adult learning theory where in this time there's actually tremendous opportunity for moral development and attitude change. It's something that maybe can't be taught. People have an opinion. I know what I think is right or wrong, and when I'm a staff one day I'll be making these decisions. So this also ignores the fact that decisions are not made independent of the context and environment in which the decision is made. And finally, ethics education is modeled. You look at faculty for how to behave, how to make decisions, and the knowledge gradient is set up to be in that direction. The expectation is that you follow the example of your staff. I say that in part because there is a paucity of other ways that it seems to be taught. However, there are obvious limitations to this. Residents don't generally know how to deal with those situations. They'll typically be persuaded by the patient's family and sort of get lost on this course of treatment that's not appropriate, or they'll have a difficult encounter, or they'll just abandon it and leave it to staff to come in and resolve it. Then the staff may come do it at a time that the residents aren't around and then there's no learning opportunity. When faculty do intervene, the lesson is far from explicit and often takes the form of humor or an appeal to protection from litigation. And this doesn't even take into account the issue of negative role modeling where residents have a hard time sort of reconciling good technical skill mentors who may role model poor professional traits. So within the traditional model of teaching ethics, learners appear to know the content as marginalized, unimportant, abstract and inapplicable to everyday practice. Expecting any modification of one's ethical posture to be adequately accomplished through informal processes such as peer interaction and role models rather than a more formal approach or mentoring might be expecting a lot of a largely unobserved, unmonitored and highly idiosyncratic hidden curriculum. Let's compare these themes to the perspectives from participants who attended the ethics M&M's rounds. So rather than being painful, now ethics education is becoming engaging and interesting. People walk away from them still talking about the issue which you don't see with the regular surgical M&M's. I could be on a subway or on a streetcar just thinking about the presentation or how things happened or the discussion that happens, especially if it's something that you hadn't thought of. Instead of being separate from clinical practice, ethics becomes seen as integral to all clinical decisions. There's ethics involved in everything that we do every day but residents and faculty may not have recognized them as such. They may have just recognized them as part of practice. I think what's involved in an ethics M&M is just bringing that ethical component to the front for direct observation. Instead of being unchangeable, actual learning does occur. Before it was going off of experience in what I've done in the past, a sort of patchwork approach, whereas now I have a more streamlined framework on the things I need to consider to resolve an issue or resolve a conflict. That's the big difference. I now have more of that background to be able to defend my decisions a lot more. How did a simple intervention lead to the emergence of a new perspective amongst residents and faculty? Instead of ethics education being role modeled, we found a more formalized method of learning began to emerge. First, people were developing a language, a language that gave this knowledge form and structure, allowing them to become aware of it. A faculty said, you gradually build up all these experiences and it influences the way you act the next time. I guess one of the difficulties is that they're so ingrained in many ways that you can't consciously dissect it out yourself. Now they have a language to describe what they're doing that they may not have been aware of. They're better equipped to apply it in real practice and better equipped to recognize it because of that. Ultimately what this leads to is an honest, open dialogue about values and expectations. It's been very helpful for both, meaning faculty and residents. You know, there's mentoring from the staff on how to deal with some of these problems where the residents may not have experienced, but I think there's also some newer knowledge and perspectives and standards that help to address these concerns. And many participants found value in debriefing of these cases. We don't do a good enough job debriefing about an emotionally or morally vexing or trying situation while we are trainees and while we are staff. So being able to say that it was really hard to see this guy die, being able to just say that I think is helpful for the residents, you can see they were getting teary-eyed while we were discussing the case. Discussing these cases after the heat of the moment allowed hindsight for critical reflection and it is that critical reflection on one's own actions and motivations that is a way that led to this sort of transformative learning. I think that's one of the good reasons, one of the best reasons for doing this, is that sometimes it does highlight areas where we could be doing better. So what were the critical features that allowed this to occur? The first was this creation of space. It's something that we really don't focus on elsewhere in our surgical training. It forces you to think about these cases that you've been thinking about anyways, but gives you a venue to formally process the situation and to get opinions from others about how they would deal with it. We also sort of identified this rising tide due to scheduling. So at the beginning it was people were sort of struggling to figure out what cases they would present. And now it's the opposite. We're struggling to decide which cases not to present because it just seems that all of a sudden there's all these ethics cases happening all the time. And so interestingly the learning of ethics and culture was happening whether the participants bought in or not. So they didn't need to like these rounds in order to be learning. The other factor was that the cases were relevant. In medical school the cases were a bit of a mystery to you because you hadn't been in any of those situations or truly understood what it was like to take care of patients. Versus the ethics M&M's it's driven by choices you make about cases, challenges that you've come across that you would not otherwise spend the time looking up these problems. Another factor was having a good moderator. There's never a lull in the conversation. It's more like sometimes refocusing people. Like let's talk more about this aspect of a case and let go of this because that's not really what the ethical M&M is about. And finally there absolutely needs to be a safe environment in order to engage in a meaningful dialogue without fear of judgment or repercussions. The topics that are discussed at them are things that we don't normally talk about and you hear opinions that you don't normally hear. People bring up the things that they're afraid to talk about in other settings and it seems like a safe environment to do that. So discussion of ethics really seems to have flattened some of the hierarchy in these surgical rounds and in the interest of time I've admitted a whole portion where we identified barriers in the one center where actually this intervention actually failed. But those barriers really mirror sort of the enablers that we have here. So in a place where the hierarchy just was so prominent it just didn't work. So the problem is not that surgeons are immoral and ethics M&M's increases their morality. The problem is that the values within surgical culture are not transparent and without a guided discussion of these values residents will struggle to assimilate the message. And so teaching and understanding ethics is a technical skill that may lead it to being understood as a tool and the use of this tool becomes abstract and really ignores the contextual features that are essential to practical application. In the ethics M&M model, knowledge is created through a language that allows dialogue, debriefing and critical reflection. And that ethics knowledge now has the opportunity to become a personal and professional identity and hopefully the making of better surgeons. Thank you.
