We come from a small-scale fishing community on the shores of Lake Turkana. So they depend on their Molo people, depend on their traditions, the traditional knowledge, the customary laws, and the resources around them for their survival. One of the major challenges we got that inhibits us getting our full potential in fishery is bad policies. But in national level, the Kenyan policies and the international policies because most of these policies also trickle down from the international level coming to the national and then to the community level. For instance, why I'm saying bad policies? We have a policy called the beach management unit whereby areas are divided and there are certain groups of people who are allowed to fish there. We never used to have that in our lake. We room the lake. We migrate with the fish. We had the freedom. We had the resources. But now because of these bad policies, we are being inhibited. And there are a lot of conflicts between people who are coming because they have already occupied most of the fishing area, breeding grounds. They have come up also armed conflict at times because of these bad laws. Women play a very important role in fisheries. First of all, at our level, at the community level, women are everything about fisheries. And they are the ones who go to offload, to clean, to market, to cook for the family. So they have a very big role in fishery. They have problems because sometimes when women go to buy fish from the shores, they are attacked. Some are even raped. And sometimes the men also inhibit women from realizing their goals to trade in fishing. Because when they go to collect to get the fish, they are asked for sex. So there is also that trade of if a woman cannot offer a fisherman sex, then she cannot sell the fish to her or allow her to offload from his boat. We really need some policies both international and national to look into the roles of women and give a meaning to the roles of women and the rights of women in fisheries.

Greetings and welcome to the Introduction to Astronomy. In this video, we are going to talk about solar activity and space weather. So we're going to look at some of the signs of solar activity. Sunspots and the solar cycle are one of them, but there's a lot more to it than that. And then we want to see what we call space weather. And space weather is sort of weather out in space, which is all caused by the sun. So various different effects that we see coming here on Earth that are caused by solar activity. So let's get started with some of the different types of solar activity that we see. And first of all, we see the sunspots that we've looked at first. Solar sunspots here are, of course, the darker areas on the surface of the sun. But that is a part of solar activity and maybe the most visible sign of it. But we do see lots of other signs. And we can look at some of those, such as the plages, which are visible here. And we can see the brighter and denser regions. So brighter regions around here are also parts of the signs of solar activity. And in a way, we can see how they are associated with the very dark areas of sunspots. But it's not just the sunspot area itself, it's actually a whole region that is active. So it's not just that small part of it, not just the sunspots that we see. It is actually a lot more to it than that. Now some of the other areas that we can see would be things like solar prominences. So prominences on the sun are where loops of plasma being lifted off the surface. And we can see an example of that here, where material is being lifted up off the surface in kind of a little arc. Now those are associated with sunspots as well. And you can kind of imagine the magnetic field that is down here lifting up off the surface and then pushing that material up into the solar atmosphere. Now when it does that, it really does not throw the material off the sun. It comes up and then it will essentially rain back down onto the sun. So it will fall back down to the surface of the sun, never leaving the sun itself. But we can have more intense regions of this, which we call the solar flares. So a prominence may take days or even a week to slowly lift that material off the surface of the sun. In a very short time frame, in a matter of minutes, a solar flare can do the same thing. So when a solar flare occurs, we get material being ejected rapidly off the surface of the sun. And a very rapid ejection actually is fast enough to expel that from the surface. So this material actually can escape from the sun, meaning it travels out into the solar system. So there are materials, there are solar flares and very intense flares that can really get material off the surface of the sun and get that material to the earth. Now we have that in the solar wind which slowly moves material out. This is a much more intense concentration of material and therefore will give us much more in terms of things like an aurora or in terms of interfering with the atmospheres here on earth. So one other type that we get is what we call a coronal mass ejection, which is when you have these large flares and the material in the corona gets ejected at high speed, so it's even higher concentrations of particles. Now as they stream out, most of them stream out harmlessly into space and don't affect anything. However, some of them could stream towards the earth. So we want to look at a little bit as to how these storms can affect the earth. And we see here that the solar storms, can they affect the earth? Well yes, we do have solar flares, coronal holes and coronal mass ejections can have an impact on the earth and in fact the last major coronal mass ejection that really struck directly on the earth was back in 1859. So the coronal mass ejection or CME actually struck the earth then and overloaded the earth's magnetic field. So essentially when you have the earth's magnetic field which protects us from this kind of thing. So as the earth's magnetic field here shields us, but when you have a very intense burst from say the sun over here and you have an intense burst of particles coming towards the earth, they can then deform the earth's magnetic field. And that means that instead of the particles traveling way up around to the north pole to strike the earth's atmosphere, they can deform the field and they can actually hit at much lower latitudes. And that means that during this time back in 1859 the aurora were visible in Hawaii. So in place you normally don't see aurora areas close to the equator, but were actually visible there during this coronal mass ejection. And in fact the intense activity also caused sparks from the telegraph equipment. So generating currents within the telegraph wires and caused sparking with there and small fires to occur because of interference with that kind of material. Now what would happen today could be much more damaging if a major coronal mass ejection were to hit. Back in 1859 there was not a lot of electronic equipment. The state of the art would have been the telegraph equipment. So things like satellites now up in space would be even more exposed because as the earth's magnetic field is deformed they are no longer protected and they would get damaged and if they are not hardened against electrical interference like this their internal electronics could get completely fried. So it could cause major damage to our communication system. And you can actually if you want to look into this little more and see what's going on with space weather right now you can go to the Space Weather Prediction Center at the website given here, the NASA NOAA website given here. Now finally let's look a little bit about how these can possibly affect the earth's climate here. Is there a connection between the solar activity and the climate here on the earth? What could be the possible connection? Now we know the Maunder Minimum which occurred in the late 1600s which occurred here led to a time of unusually cool weather on the earth. So much less heat because of this minimum and that's there was less solar activity going on and less heat energy being generated by the sun. So what we know is that low amount of solar activity means cooler temperatures. So we know that's happened before and we don't know what could have happened in the future. So this is the time frame which would have been the little ice age when things were a little bit cooler than otherwise. Now there have been other changes in the past. We know that but it's difficult to model and to see the impact from solar activity. And that means there are other reasons for this or do we need newer models to be able to explain what is going on. So continued research will be needed and more data to be able to see what the sunspot cycles are like in the long term. So let's finish up here with our summary and what we looked at is that solar activity does show itself in a variety of ways. We looked at things like prominences and flares and coronal mass ejections and how they look on the sun and how they can possibly impact the earth. And the solar flares and the coronal mass ejections are what do impact here on the earth and they could cause potential damages to electronic devices. They also cause more spectacular things like the aurora. So those are caused by those and the aurora will be more intense during the time of a solar flare or a coronal mass ejection ejected in the direction of the earth because there are then more charged particles striking us. We also note a possible connection between solar activity and the climate here on the earth but it is not a certain connection. Not something that is still being researched to be able to better understand. So that concludes our lecture on solar activity and space weather. We'll be back again next time for another topic in astronomy. So until then have a great day everyone and I will see you in class.


You can now follow me on all my social media platforms to find out who my latest guest will be and don't forget to click the subscribe button and the notifications button so you're notified for when my next podcast goes live. You're supposed to support one of the biggest acts, probably one of the biggest rappers of all time, some people would argue, NAS, two, three years ago, before you'd done your sound check to end up getting the jail, so you've had a wee bit of roller coaster the last few years. I'm still kinda like that, still kinda searching for my family, you know what I mean, like blood is blood to know that, but like where I belong kind of thing. Do you feel lost sometimes? Aye mate, aye, definitely feel lost, like I think I feel lost for listening to other people's perception of me. That's why I've been focused on trying to actually just cement myself as a proper top tier lyricist in this country mate and then hopefully globally mate and the last few years in that it's just been trying to actually learn how to be a man and take responsibility for some of my actions in that. Bimber on! What's happening? Today's guest we've got Scottish rapper Shogun, how bad you bruv?  It's good to have you in. Thank you, thank you. One of my own mate just up the road, so yeah it's good to be here for the audience, this is a Scottish podcast so you might struggle sometimes but bear with us. Aye. You were in rap battle there. Rap game, rap game. I thought you were phenomenal. Thank you bro, thank you. You were supposed to support one of the biggest acts, probably one of the biggest rappers of all time, some people would argue. Aye. Nazz, two or three years ago, before you'd done your sound check to end up getting the jail. Aye mate, aye.  Aye, finally. You've gained time. Aye mate, it's just, it's just about being, like you're being sent to me, just being consistent and that's what I've been focused on mate. Just trying to actually just cement myself as a proper top tier lyricist in this country mate and then hopefully globally mate. And the last few years in that, it's just been trying to actually learn how to be a man and take responsibility for some of my actions in that. And no just the bad stuff, but the good stuff as well.  Let's know, dwell on it.  Which was, I was doing that for so long that I would perform well and then I'd just get excited about that and I wouldn't spend the next week or two or month or two actually like going right, how can I, how can I better this position that I'm in, rather than just be happy with it.  This point in my life is, it's very surreal. It's very surreal. Must have gave you some material though. I was, therefore. Now I've got a stack about that.  I've got that.  Because your videos have been viewed over millions of time, tens of millions. I think, I'm not just saying this because you're Scottish, but you're one of the best rappers and lyricists I've ever seen or heard. Thank you. It's phenomenal that the stuff that you do, obviously in your own rap game, they were telling you to slow your stuff down. It's Scottish accent. If we, we speaking of now, people can't understand. Never mind, rap. I know mate.  Sometimes it's like a party trick kind of thing. It's like I can do very, very, very intricate and complex syllable alignment and I understand patterns and I understand music. So it's like, I might, I've just been, I'm just a, a fiend for knowledge man and getting better. And I man, I have my days where, where I, where I hate it and then I have my days where I love it man. But right now, like I think I've got back into a place where I absolutely love doing what I do. And that's why you see the, the jump up in quality.  And for the first couple of weeks, I was like, man, what are these guys talking about?  Like you want me to rap the way I rap or do you want me to rap the way you use what I rap? But I kind of just like, if you can go back and listen to some of my older stuff and go listen to my stuff that I've released in the like, like since being on that show like the clarity, that is something that I definitely, I just took on the chin. I went, do you know what, if I can overpronunciate my words to English people and what not, in conversation, then I can do it when I'm rapping man. And my lyrical ability doesn't need to actually take a hit because of that. So that took me a couple of months to really grasp man. And I, that, just thank you for saying that mate, honestly. I don't even know what to say mate. I'm trying to be the best lyrical in this country.


The government doesn't want the truth to get out.  Hello and welcome to One Piece 101, the series that breaks down every one and everything in the One Piece world. Today, we will be taking a look at the ever awesome marine Hina. Hina is a tall, slim and all around rather serious looking member of the marine organization. She is immediately identifiable by her character trait of always referring to herself in the third person. Now this is odd in English, but it goes a step further in Japanese, where nouns and pronouns can often be omitted entirely from sentences. Although in Japan, young children tend to refer to themselves in this way, and it's seen as quite cute. However, Hina makes no attempt to be cute and is always rather stoic and serious when engaging in this habit, making it quite comical and endearing. Hina also displays many qualities of natural leadership. For example, she is very calm, calculating and highly knowledgeable in regards to battle tactics both on land and at sea. So while Hina first officially appeared in the Django's Dance Paradise cover story, she was first properly introduced in the series at the tail end of the alabaster arc, after Sir Crocodile had been defeated. At this point in the series, she held the rank of Captain, which was the same rank held by another prominent marine, Smoker. In fact, Hina and Smoker are actually longtime friends, having joined the marines at the same time. As such, Hina is well accustomed to Smoker's troublemaking personality and actions, and has even, on occasion, helped him get out of situations that could have seen him fired. In general, Hina is much more willing to unquestioningly follow the lead of the top branch and even urge Smoker to take the medals and promotion when headquarters attempted to give him credit for defeating Sir Crocodile. Although Smoker is far from the only troublemaker that Hina seems to uncharacteristically tolerate. At the time of her introduction in the series, Hina had two primary subordinates, Django and Full Body, both of whom were former antagonists in the series. Now, these two went on to form quite a goofy friendship, and at one stage, they both ended up being absolutely smitten by their superior officer, Hina. As a result, the two are constantly attempting to woo her to no avail. Most of the time, Hina simply ignores them, but she also shows great tolerance for Django and Full Body's other shenanigans, which frequently include dancing and self-inflicted hypnosis. Following the events of Alabasta, Hina attempted to apprehend the Straw Hat Pirates, as they were departing from the island. However, she was tricked into pursuing Bon Clay, who used his Devil Fruit abilities to take on Luffy's appearance. As a result, Hina was forced into combat with Bon Clay's crew, and the Straw Hats were able to escape her grasp. And while the conclusion to this conflict was never shown, later on it is revealed that Hina quite comfortably defeated Bon Clay, although her Devil Fruit more than likely played a huge part in her success. Hina ate the Ori Orinomi, a Paramecia-type fruit that gives the user the ability to morph their body into iron shackles and bars, which instantly bind all those who touch them. Ori means cage in Japanese, and the fruit has been translated as the cage-cage fruit in dubs of the anime. Currently, this fruit has not displayed any particular weakness outside of your stock standard Devil Fruit catches, although if the user isn't careful, then it can be unintentionally used to bind allies. As of right now, it's unclear whether or not it is possible for a person to escape their bindings once they are caught in the fruit, making the Ori Orinomi very potentially one of the more powerful Devil Fruits in existence. Hina's next appearance in the series would be during Miss Golden Week's Operation Meat Baroque Works cover story. Hina was vacationing with Django in full body on a resort island named Kuka, and during her vacation she noticed a group of ex-Baroque Works agents. Hina then went on to successfully capture Miss Valentine, however Bon Clay intervened, freeing Miss Valentine by getting caught himself in the process. During the story, Hina also succeeds in capturing Mr Three, and as a result of her actions, both Mr Three and Bon Clay are sent to Impel Down, setting up the events of that arc. From here, Hina would be summoned to Marine Foot in order to participate in the Paramount War. The most notable action in the conflict was her brief skirmish with Luffy, whom she attempted to capture. However, Luffy's gear second speed was too fast for Hina, who quietly admitted defeat. However, she did manage to accidentally capture Django and full body. Hina did survive the war, however she would not be heard from again, until well past the timeskip, appearing at the island of Alabasta in order to escort the Nefertari family to the reverie. Hina would then reappear once more during the reverie arc, speaking to Garp and some other Marine associates. Some more fun facts about Hina. At some stage during the two-year timeskip, Hina climbed through the ranks of the Marines to become a rear admiral. Hina briefly featured in One Piece Film Z, although it was a non-speaking role. In fact, it was a non-anything role, all she did was stand beside Fleet Admiral Sakazuki and silently listened as other more prominent characters discussed matters at hand. However, during the film we did also receive a glimpse of Hina's early days as a Marine. Hina's birthday happens to be on March 3rd, which is a Japanese holiday known as Hina Matsuri or Girls' Day, which coincides nicely with her name. And finally, a truly useless fact, rather than the standard red or blue epaulettes worn by most Marines, Hina prefers to drape her shoulders in a signature light blue color. And that pretty much does it for Hina. If you enjoyed this video, then feel free to like, favorite, or subscribe.

Yeah, I do another one. But the thing is, is like, if you've got to use those cattle to get that cattle that you're trying to cut into the cutting spot, that's what I'm trying to teach you guys. Sometimes it's not about just zoning in on one cow. Sometimes that's impossible.  What do we do? We take that whole herd up there and we hold them up there and we pray that one stays there, right? But we've got to use that herd to get those cattle there. So she could use all three of these cows to get towards where she needs to be. Get towards the middle of that pin. Slide over. There you go. Now just slow down. There you go. Slow down. Slow down. Now walk it through there. Awesome. Very good cut.  Good job. Sometimes it's not always about just controlling that one cow and running it up there and getting it there. It's about controlling everything you've got right there to get to the proper position so that you give yourself the best shot to have a good run. Really good.


There's probably not a single topic regarding Julian that makes my blood boil than that endlessly recycled lie that he didn't redact. I understand Julian is not everyone's cup of tea. He was my cup of tea, but I understand he wasn't everyone's. So I really wear loads of criticism about Julian, but I cannot tolerate that he didn't redact. I was with him for the month travelling with him and living with him effectively for the month before that release, which was the first big release, and I was there intensely in the three days before. And I can say emphatically, I won't elaborate on this platform, but please accept my word and I can elaborate in any other forum, that emphatically Julian Assange removed 10,000 names, no small task. 10,000 names from those logs of people who had potential harm and he did it around the clock for three days with no assistance. There was no journalist there, there was no organisation there, no media corporation, no digital team. It was Julian Assange. And yet to hear that continually peddled is frustrating to say the least. So I might ask you this one favour. If you ever hear anyone say that, pull them up immediately because it has done incalculable damage to Julian. It's been used by other journalists to sneer at him and somehow distinguish what they do from what he does. It's been damaged in the public and effectively it was used by the prosecution. The Americans used it as the distinguishing feature of Julian Assange for the others. So please pull it up immediately, tell them I said so, tell them I'll come and get them if they say it again, and that I was there and there was very few people there.
