Today I have the pleasure of talking to Frank Bassa over at Canada Cobalt Works. How are you today? Wonderful Tracy. Thanks for having me. I know you already told me you don't want to talk about the coronavirus here at PDAC, but the coronavirus is actually getting all of us to look at the critical materials supply chain. And so we believe that there's going to be an increased interest, or at least our experts are telling this, of any battery materials, especially critical materials like Cobalt. Do you agree with us? No, I agree with that. It's a little more complex and most people are aware of it. You want to really look at it, Cobalt is actually the new oil of going forward. Without Cobalt, none of these batteries really work well. People trying to replace Cobalt, they're trying to lower their Cobalt grade, they're putting some nickel in them, some manganese, but the realities, you know, we were in Japan, we talked to Nissan, it was very simple. The more Cobalt, the more range, the better quality vehicle you have. So Cobalt is actually going to be the new oil going forward. Okay. Fantastic. Great. Headline, Cobalt, the new oil. So tell us about your most recent results. So what we've done is, we actually, the original hole we drilled was 2008 and actually never took it seriously. It was a pretty spectacular hole, lots of silver, lots of cobalt, lots of nickel.  The picture cost me $26,000. Black and white, case 8 for 26 grand, you get a colored picture, but it gave us the orientation of the structure. Then we went down the same hole, wedged it, and we hit two wedges. One was 50,000 ounces, 50,000 grams per ton silver. The other wedge was 70,000 grams, plus very high numbers for cobalt, very high numbers for nickel. So now what we're doing is we're actually going to go down hole with geophysics, and we're looking at how big this thing is. So you know, we think we hit more than one structure, it could be three structures. So what's in that little envelope that we drilled, we think we already hit 1.2 million ounces of silver, not including the cobalt, not including the nickel. So something massive is there. If it looks good, we're going to try to, we already talked to a mining contract, we would like to put a ramp down, we're part of a facility that can process our material. So all in all, it's looking like something quite significant could be there. Silver, copper, nickel, all technology metals? Cobalt, big cobalt numbers. And so what should we anticipate over the next quarter or two? I think we're getting results by the hour from the down hole geophysics, because the guys are there right now. I think we hit some structures already, more than likely we'll try to drill those. If they look good, even if they don't look good, we still want to put a ramp down. And I think right now, you look at 1.2 million ounces of silver, it's like 20 million dollars of silver in a very small area. The ramp is about 6 million, I mean it's worth putting the ramp down. And of course in a cobalt camp you've got to go underground to find stuff. Well Frank, as always, it's a pleasure to talk to you. Welcome, thanks a lot. Oh, it was a pleasure.


Hello. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, we wanted to create a permanent memorial here at South Cambridgeshire Hall. Because of the lockdown, that will not be possible just now, though we shall do so as soon as we can. Meanwhile, I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the great debt we owe to all those who fought and all those who supported them during the grim years of war. I wear a 1917 poppy to commemorate my own uncle who died as a very young man in 1917. We don't know where he is buried. And we too are living in a grim time. I know many of you will be in real anguish as we face at least a month of further restriction and privation. Perhaps thinking back to the war years may help you towards a new perspective, a determination to see this through. So I hope you will stop in your own home at 11 on Sunday morning. There may be a live stream of a local act of remembrance, as there will be in my own village of Gerton. There will, of course, be a screening of the wreath laying at the Cenotaph. Remember those who gave their lives for our freedom and democracy. And remember to those who now fight daily to help and heal those caught up in the COVID-19 pandemic. May I end with a slight modification of the words of a memorial in North East India, the Kohima Epitaph. While in your home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today. I would now like to hand over to my vice chair, Councillor Anna Bradnham, to read something which means a great deal to her. Anna. In 1945, my mother, Audrey, was 14, and when Moorbrough Grammar School proposed an evening of celebrations, she asked her daddy what poem she should recite. Grandad was a gardener at the Manor House in Everly, Wiltshire, and as an essential food provider with flat feet, was not called up for active service. Mum says she had been largely unaware of rationing because he had fed his family so well from his own garden throughout the war. He suggested she recited The Glory of the Garden by Rudyard Kipling, which was written in 1911. In the poem, England is described as a garden with stately views, but also as a place where people work hard and whatever their ability can make a useful contribution to the productivity and beauty of the garden. There is another twist here. The Manor House where Grandad worked had been requisitioned by the MOD in 1942 and converted into the David Bruce laboratory for production of vaccines against typhoid fever. An immunization scheme had long been key to maintaining the health of the British army overseas. The laboratory continued to manufacture vaccines and distribute them to our armed forces overseas until 1990 when the MOD left the site. So as we give thanks for the end of World War II in 1945, I'd like to remember all those people who have sadly died during this pandemic and to give thanks for all those teams who are right now working to develop vaccines against COVID-19. I also want to thank everyone in this district council who's continued to deliver our services but from their dining room table or spare bedroom or turned their hand to a new task or gone the extra mile to ensure that people in South Cambridgeshire are safe and provided for. Thank you. So the poem that my mum recited in 1945, The Glory of the Garden by Rajad Kipling. Our England is a garden that is full of stately views of borders, beds and shrubberies and lawns and avenues with state statues on the terraces and peacocks strutting by but the glory of the garden lies in more than meets the eye. For where the thick laurels grow along the thin red wall you'll find the tool and potting sheds which are the heart of all. The cold frames and the hot houses, the dung pits and the tanks, the rollers, carts and drainpipes with the barrows and the planks and there you'll see the gardeners the men and prentice boys told off to do as they are bid and do it without noise for except when seeds are planted and we shout to scare the birds the glory of the garden it abideth not in words and some can pot begonias and some can bud a rose and some are hardly fit to trust with anything that grows but they can roll and trim the lawns and sift the sand and loam for the glory of the garden occupies all who come. Our England is a garden and such gardens are not made by singing oh how beautiful and sitting in the shade while better men than we go out and start their working lives at grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dino knives there's not a pair of legs so thin there's not a head so thick there's not a hand so weak and white nor yet a heart so sick but it can find some needful job that's crying to be done for the glory of the garden glorifyeth everyone then seek your job with thankfulness and work till further orders if it's only netting strawberries or killing bugs on borders sorry slugs on borders and when your back stops aching and your hands begin to harden you'll find yourself a partner in the glory of the garden oh adam was a gardener and god who made him sees that half a proper gardener's work is done upon his knees so when your work is finished you can wash your hands and pray for the glory of the garden that it may not pass away for the glory of the garden that it may not pass away thank you


So I'm here from Lawrence Systems and as if 2020 wasn't weird enough and unexpected news The latest one here in May is key base was acquired by zoom not something I seen coming for sure Maybe some of you did but I certainly got caught off by this and I've reviewed key base before I think it's a really solid product with end-to-end encryption great for communication great for identity verification where it started out early But it's acquisition by zoom. I thought it's something worth discussing before we get into that We will first you like to learn more about me or my company head over to Lawrence systems calm If you'd like to hire sure project there's a hires button right at the top if you want to support this channel in other ways There's affiliate links down below to get you deals and discounts on products and services We talk about on this channel including a link to our patreon if you like become a patreon supporter We also have a swag store where you can get shirts and other items that are for sale and that changes from time to time What's available and what's not so go ahead and check that out frequently and Finally our forums if you'd like to have a more in-depth discussion about this video suggestions for new videos or just reach out Say hi and talk tech our forums are a great place for that. All right now back to the content So from their blog post here on May 7th of 2020 today. We're announcing zoom acquired key base Yeah, I know it's of all the strange news happening here in 2020. That's interesting Now let's talk about key base and that's what I want to talk about here From the business standpoint of it and what the key base team will be doing initially our single top priority is helping make zoom even more secure There are no specific plans for key base app yet ultimately key bases future is in zooms hand and we'll see where that takes us of course if anything changes about the key base Availability our users will get plenty of notice, which is a pretty fair assessment. I think that's a Decent intro for there now. Let's first take a business perspective of it It is not easy to interview and hire someone for a job. It is harder to build a team It is really hard to get a bunch of people together to cooperate and see the long-term outcome of that They will build a solid product, but in the tech world. We see aqua hire all the time or acquisition by hiring Or hiring by acquisition. However, you want to word that what we're talking about is you know The key base team does their thing the key base team built this incredible product that has end-to-encryption all kinds of great features It's a solid platform. They've been building it for a while. Don't have a business model That's an important aspect here but have a really great product that even went through and passed a code review and Really wild when you dive into just you know, they funded all this themselves and the team put this together And it's just it's an amazing product then you have zoom Right place right time had a good product better than a lot of the competitors Had some problems with default security settings have some misstepings with with privacy and you know some other issues But with everything that happened in 2020 they skyrocketed to the top by being that right place right time right product But then all the problems they had that were small were amplified by the scale at which they grew That's how that works So if you have a small problem with a million users you have a big problem with like 40 million users So as they scale they realize you have problems now They've already reached out fix some of the concerns stopped some of the development into new features to repair all the little problems that Zoom has they've also hired some external security auditors, but external security auditors They just poke holes at stuff and tell you everything you did wrong You have to fix all the things that the security researchers fine. So that's where key base comes in odd match But maybe not so odd key base team knows how to build that solid and an encryption product So you acquire that entire working functioning team and you just say hey fix all of our problems solve all of the riddles that we have with our code base and everything else and you know get this product on track Hey, these security researchers are going to poke holes at it You guys passed a security audit on self-designed systems, which they didn't just pass a security audit on you know Implementation of an existing system. They reinvented systems and passed a security audit that takes a lot of skills So they were obviously a very smart team to put this together at key base Which made them very tempting to zoom who is cash rich and Product well product quality poor maybe not too bad, but at least some issues there that have been found with zoom So putting these two things together from business standpoint completely makes sense now the key base team Why'd they sell out weren't they trying to build this product? I don't really see it Is that honestly any developer especially ones who are really talented in building a new security product? It isn't just about building a security product It's about seeing that product go to market and maybe even go to market at scale key base as much as I love it I know many of you probably watching this command. I really like this product. That's not scale zoom has scale So I think it's going to be interesting for them And they're going to be excited to take and work on a product at this scale They can kind of prove out your theories. This is like anyone you know a scientist He doesn't want it just to prove he wants to see his theory entirely proved out prove that the product's viable prove that it Can be done and I believe that's undoubtedly what that team wants I actually think it's great They took this because they're gonna learn a lot from it. They're gonna learn about about scalability And I think maybe they'll bring that back to key base key base itself is open source And despite my earlier when I first in for those of you that may have messaged me on key base You know, I'd said I don't know man I don't know maybe I'll delete this but I haven't I've kept it because I think that was a bad reaction On my part and I think that I should give them a chance because the product may live on We don't know what zooms gonna do with it. I don't think it really fits their business model I think they cared they wanted the team not the product the product was just something those team made is kind of a proof of Concept that they're a good security team. So zoom will probably leave it alone my guess But I don't know and the key base servers Well, all the stuff's open source that they built this on and well if it's still working It was ended encrypted before and you can read the security port It's ended encrypted no matter who owns the servers. That was the entire point key base had from the get go Their architecture was to design a system that no matter who had the back-end servers the data passes to it encrypted levels Therefore, you can't see the data the private chats the private sharing of files all the features and Amazing set of features that they've integrated in a key base. Well, they're still there and they're still open source And they're still implemented the same way so unless there's any major changes to that product and at that point either one People will stop using it to Someone else to fork it and take those same features now I'm not gonna be too upset if key base works as it is because as it is right now It's pretty solid product matter of fact It may get a little bit more popular just the bump in news that key base was acquired by zoom may make a bunch of People that never heard of key base before look at key base and go, huh? That's a cool way to send encrypted files. That is a cool way to have an encrypted chat with someone That's a pretty cool privacy oriented type thing Even if it's not a owned and managed by a company that has our best interest that the zoom I don't know where their interests live But of course we've seen some problems with them I'm you know, I've got a separate video where I talk about some of that the fact that they've already built something and then encrypted Hey, that's pretty cool. Now, maybe maybe and this is stretching it Maybe something will happen like signal which I'm also a big fan of and I use but I can't really use it with everyone because it requires people to Know my cell phone number the nice thing about key base. Maybe something can happen because of the funding They probably got paid pretty well on their bio. Maybe that will get put into an organization like signal is where it's just a Non-profit organization around it just to maintain it that way It doesn't have any special interests that could potentially make the product a spy any or anything like that now key base Once again, much like signal both open source systems Therefore the code can be vetted and audited if they ever close source it stop using it right then honestly That's that is the last straw if they close source The system that's when you know, it's absolutely time to get rid of it, but for now. I'm gonna keep it I'm gonna keep using it. I don't know what the future holds for it Sounds like it's gonna be on a feature freeze, but if I just need an encrypted chat application Well, it still is an encrypted chat application. It's still solid. It still has easy ways to use PGP makes it easier than I've ever seen anyone do to be able to have an encrypted message easily sent to me by someone who's an Average user who doesn't understand cryptography, but then can still get me cryptographic information sign that I can sign and unsign with my Private key, etc. You can still have those private conversations. They're still private file sharing So I'm I'm still hoping that the product will live on or maybe someone else will pick it up Or maybe there's some deal that we don't know when they signed their agreement We do know right now the team as they didn't blog posts is gonna be focused on zoom So like I said, I'll keep it for now and See what happens next. That's kind of all I can really do because I don't have any control over any of this I can just make videos about it. That's about it. All right.

Hello, I'm Dr. Gene Preuss. In this lecture we're going to look at the transition for the Hispanic generation from 1970 to about 1990 as Mexican Americans and other Hispanics went from being minority in the United States to a majority. This lecture will explain how immigration expanded the Mexican American community, how we see continuing gaps in the educational differences between Hispanics and others and describe the increased political and social recognition of the Hispanic population in the late 20th century. During this period, the latter part of the 20th century, the Hispanic community continued to increase. Now at the beginning of this time period that we're talking about by the 1970s, Mexican Americans were 60 percent of the U.S. Latino population. However, we see an increase of about 60 percent between 1970 and 1980 and much of that happened in the latter part of the 20th century between 1980 and 1990 so that Mexican Americans and Latinos make up 9 percent of the U.S. population by 1990. Again, most of it's going to be in New Mexico, California and Texas. In some places, this means that Hispanics did become the majority of the population in some of those regions across the United States. A large part of this is due and what contributes to this change is a high birth rate. You also see therefore a younger population. The median age for the Hispanic community was about 26 years while the rest of the population in the United States averaged about 33 years old so relatively a young population but the Hispanic population was even younger. Most of these are urban dwellers as well. 90 percent of Mexicanos lived in urban areas so they go from being kind of seen as being a rural population to being an urban population in the large cities in the Southwest, Los Angeles and San Francisco but you also have Corpus, San Antonio, El Paso, Laredo. In Houston, they become half of the school population. Concomitant with the increase of presence, the increase of population comes an increase in political power. In the 1970s, it starts off with the development of a political group called La Raza Unida, the People United Party. It started in 1970 in Crystal City in South Texas for local city elections and for school board elections where they ran Mexican American candidates. One of the leaders of this group was a young man named Jose Angel Gutierrez. He became national chair of La Raza in 1972. The group, the political organization eventually spread into California and Colorado and in 1972 they ran governor positions and other candidates for other positions in statewide elections. The next year, 1973, the Texas House of Representatives organizes a Mexican American legislative caucus made up of House members who were Mexican American. The Senate organizes their Hispanic caucus in Texas in 1987. In 1974, Willy Velazquez of San Antonio begins a Southwest voter education project. This is an organization, nonprofit organization aimed at expanding the get out the vote message to the Mexican American community and other Hispanics living in the San Antonio and Texas area. In 1976, you have the development in the U.S. of the U.S. Hispanic caucus in Congress. And then in 78, National Association of Latino Democrat Officials changes to Naleo, the National Association of Latino Elected Officials. It's still active today, but this started in 1978 and the name changed in 1979. You see the picture on the right here of Willy Velazquez with this effort to get out the vote for Hispanics that became the Southwest voter education project. Likewise, you see changes in immigration laws at the federal level, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, also known as the Heart Seller Act. This removed the longstanding national origin quotas that have been in place since the 1920s, 40 years earlier, which placed restrictions on non-Northern European immigrants and basically was seen by many as racist. President Jimmy Carter started a committee on immigration and refugee policies, SCRIP was the name, 1978. The report that the committee issued did two things. It did say that immigration was an important contribution to the United States, but that immigration should be regulated. One of the quotes is the first order of priority is bringing undocumented illegal immigration under control while setting up a rational system for legal immigration. You also do see however to the Hispanic community increasing and growing especially in the Florida region as a result of an increase in Cuban refugees fleeing the Cuban revolution and this continued migration out of Cuba as a result of the Castro brothers regime. You also see a tremendous increase in Latin American immigration in general between 1968 and 1980, over a 50% increase. In 1976, Congress begins capping Western immigration to about 20,000 per year. But at the same time, although there are caps on immigration, you do see a rise of illegal immigration, which just means that the immigration continued even if it wasn't done by federally approved processes. There's also a shift in attitudes about immigration in the Hispanic community itself. The National Chicano Latino Conference on Immigration and Public Policy held in 1977. It didn't like Carter administration's plans for undocumented workers. Fines for employers and amnesty for undocumented was seen as a change rather than punishing the immigrant, punish the employer. You also see that later on Republicans are likewise going to take a different view on immigration. This really starts in the 1980s under Ronald Reagan that while conservatives do want a law and order approach, there is a massive feeling among some Republicans, especially those more libertarians, who oppose federal intervention and spending. You also see congressional Republicans, many of whom are elected by agricultural communities, where the agricultural interests want to be more supportive of allowing cheaper workers to come into the field. Therefore, they're more friendly towards immigrants, both illegal and legal immigration benefits them because they can pay lower wages. In 1980, under the Reagan administration, there's the Refugee Act of 1980. This expands the definition of what it means to be a refugee, which means allowing people in broader reasons. But it did set an annual limit of about 50,000 refugees for the next two years. One of the things that many people believe this contributed to was an increase in gangs, especially Latin American and Mexican gangs, in places like Los Angeles in the 1990s. There was a growing concern over gang-related violence and the growth of gangs in general. There was also a concern that showed up in the Southwest over protests, and some of this was over police brutality. Now, there were also protests that continued on the Vietnam conflict, and one of these in August of 1970, the Chicano Anti-War Moratorium against the Vietnam War, Los Angeles reporter Ruben Salazar is killed by police who are firing tear gas into a coffee shop or a restaurant that he was in, and he was hit by shrapnel and by the canister, and it killed him. Some others died as well. But this was seen as maybe being an orchestrated murder by police. That's how many perceived it. There were also incidents in Texas and other areas of the Southwest over murders by police. One was in Bikes Santos Rodriguez, who was a 13-year-old boy the police brought him and his brother in for questioning and in the squad car.  The police officer who killed Santos said, well, he was an accident. He didn't realize his own gun was loaded. This led to a lot of protests, and you see the picture here on the left of that. In Castroville in Southwest of San Antonio, the murder of a worker named Richard Morales by the local sheriff. And then in Houston, the murder of Jose Campos Torres in 1977, which occurred in Buffalo Bayou. Campos Torres was arrested down a navigation boulevard at a bar for being disruptive. The police beat him up through him in the Bayou where he drowned, and he was found a few days later on Mother's Day in 1977. This caused a lot of unrest and protests among the Mexican-American community, and one of those was a uprising that took place in Moody Park. And this was later on kind of tied to the Campos Torres murder and the charges against the policemen, which ended up being very light. The courts basically find them a dollar for their role, and this just caused outrage, sparked outrage, and then protests. Also in Odessa in West Texas, another inmate was killed while in police custody, Larry Lozano. And so the Justice Department came in to investigate these murders in Texas, in New Mexico, but did very little about it. And so Carter, who was president at the time, Jimmy Carter, he creates an office of Hispanic Affairs that tries to be more responsive to the growing concerns among the Mexican-American and other Hispanic community. There is a U.S. commission on civil rights that identifies police brutality as a major cause for concern in some major U.S. cities, including Houston, but also in other places where you have growing Hispanic populations. Miami, Philadelphia, New York, which had a large, not only Cuban, but Puerto Rican community. Concerns that Mexican-Americans and Hispanics were not achieving their full potential educationally also led to some court cases and other protests. The most important of which here I'm going to discuss, one of those is Cisneros versus Corpus Christie in 1970. This basically argued that Brown versus Board of Education not just be limited to African-American children, but be expanded to Mexican-American children and the U.S. Supreme Court concurred and extended Brown to include Mexican-American children as well. In the 1970s, one way of evading integrating schools in reality, HISD, Houston Independent School District, tried to say that, look, Mexican-American children are legally white. And so what we'll do is we'll integrate the Mexican-American children and the African-American children. And this went along with a lot of white flight that was going on within the city where white residents were moving to the suburbs in an effort to avoid integration. And as these suburb communities were predominantly white communities, this left minority students inside Houston's inner-city schools. And there was a protest about this and how it was basically a way of trying to work around integration without actually really integrating. So students launched walkouts in the 1970-71 school year. And this led to the development of what were known as wellga schools, wellga, meaning strike. The strike schools were schools that were set up to educate the students who were participating in the walkouts. And you had the Bilingual Education and Training Act that the Texas legislature passed in 1973. And this said that schools with 20 or more students with limited English proficiency must provide bilingual instruction, which previously had not really been done. It had kind of been on the students' burden since the 1950s and 60s and even before that, that they must learn English. And so you have the development of the little schools of the 400, which sought to teach children how to speak English. Now the attitude is that schools must provide bilingual instruction. In 1973, you had a Supreme Court case out of San Antonio, Rodriguez versus Texas. And here the Supreme Court said that unequal funding does not violate the 14th Amendment. Now this was, it did say that Mexican American children were not being treated equally, but they said that that unequal funding providing enough funding for the schools, that's not a violation of the 14th Amendment. Well, this was challenged in the state courts. And another case went to the Supreme Court, Edward versus Kirby, also out of San Antonio, some of the same school districts in 1989. And this argued, the Supreme Court decided that school funding on property tax alone was inherently unequal, where you had white students in more prosperous communities that would pay more in school tax. And so their school districts in those areas could afford more educational opportunities for the students while students living in poor areas didn't have that ability. And they said that this violated the Texas State Constitution, which said that all students would be educated equally. And so what happens as a result of this is that the Texas Supreme Court mandates what becomes known as the Robin Hood Plan. This is where they take tax money from wealthier districts and distribute it to lower income districts. And this has caused problems even up to the present time. And in fact, in more recent years, you see that Houston ISD, which traditionally had been considered an inner city school district and a minority heavy school district, and was the recipient of Robin Hood redistribution funds. Now it's considered a wealthy school district, and now it's having to pay out to other poor districts. And there have been efforts in Dallas, which also faced similar issues. Houston, of course, and others who are now fighting the Robin Hood Plan. So the tables kind of turned on that as you have gentrification and you have more economic development in those inner city areas. In 1974, the Equal Education Opportunities Act. This was also addressed at overcoming language barriers, put the emphasis on the schools. And then in Lowe versus Nichols, 1974, this was a case brought about by Chinese immigrants and the Los Angeles Commuter in California anyway. This also was about schools providing language assistance to students who didn't necessarily speak English, at least and even continues in 1990 to the Bush administration, besides the Reagan administration, to be more accepting and more welcoming to people who were immigrating. On the other side of the immigration question is what are we going to do about English language? Now we discussed some of the educational changes and you see this political cartoon that is critical of this official English language only laws that were attempted to be passed by various states. You see it in Dade County, Florida and it passes, but then it's later on repealed. The Texas House several times tries to introduce English only laws only to fail. Then you have Arizona, which passed a law in 1988, but then it is found to violate free speech. In 1981, however, a Supreme Court case affected the schools. Filer versus Doe, this comes out of Tyler, Texas, and this challenged and successfully overturned a 1975 law in Texas that prohibited funds for undocumented children. They said this is unconstitutional, you have to educate them going back to what the Texas Constitutionist says that they would educate everybody equally. And so you set up your constitution and then you seek to not provide this law equally to everybody. As you said you were going to, the Supreme Court said, well, that's unconstitutional. So, Filer versus Doe was a turning point in Texas education and people with limited English proficiency. The education is also seen at crisis is also seen at the federal level in 1984 report called a nation at risk, which basically said that if any other nation were doing to the United States, what we were doing to ourselves educationally, we would consider it an act of war. And so this called for a sea change in America's schools policy. And in Texas, you see a reaction to this in what was called House Bill 82, the Texas House. This became known as the no pass, no play legislation that passed that same year, which said that if you were failing as a student, you couldn't participate in sports or other types of UIL competition. And this was very unwelcome among parents and students because they wanted their students to play and get awards. And oftentimes those children weren't allowed or weren't encouraged to focus on their academics. It was also changed in the mid 1980s, 1988, when Ronald Reagan appointed Loro Covasos from South Texas to be the US Secretary of Education. And Covasos began issuing reports and doing studies on how minority students were faring in America's schools. I found out that they were in the schools, but the schools that they were in got little funding. And Covasos came to Texas and was talking about this and said, you know, it's not just about how much money school districts get, but it's how the districts allocate those funds. But many representatives, in fact, several Hispanic representatives felt that Covasos was kind of underselling the problem they were facing. And so they walked out of a speech that he was giving. The growing Hispanic population was also evident in the United States as well. And in 1980, the US Census Bureau coined the term Hispanic to be used as a federal description of Mexican American and other members of Latin American descent. And there was criticism of undercounts, right? And in the 1980s, they were aware of this. And so for the 1980 census, they did assemble a team of 19 members, most of whom were Mexican American, to advise the census. So these undercounts wouldn't occur as frequently. That was the hope. Reagan also, Ronald Reagan, also expanded what was then called Hispanic Heritage Week to Hispanic Heritage Month in 1988. This was going to be September the 15th through October the 14th. And it coincided with many independence days that took place in that month throughout Latin America. By the late 1980s, it was becoming apparent in the Census Bureau was was talking about this that Anglo-Saxons, whites in the United States would not be the majority going forward by the 21st century. And the exact date changed and evolved as immigration increased. But you see this reflected in the cover of Time Magazine in April of 1990 that what's the US going to be at ask when the whites are no longer the majority? And so there is a whole section in this and several articles that covered this forecast that minorities would become the majority in the United States. And this caused a lot of concern among a lot of white Americans. You also see in the 70s through the 90s the the growth of cultural icons in the Hispanic community. In 1979, maybe one of the biggest indications that Mattel created the Hispanic Barbie doll in 1979. You had the play Zoot Suit, which was about the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943. This is a play and it turns into a movie. You also had actors like Cheech Marin, as many people called him from the Cheech and Chong movies, who became very popular. And today he is well known for his collection of Chicano art actors like Edward James Olmos, who had appeared in Zoot Suit in the play and then went on to star for several years in a popular TV show called Miami Vice. Musicians and recording artists like Selena. Selena, who when she was quite young in her 20s was murdered by the president of her fan club, but she was known as the queen of Tejano music. And her album in 1990, Bien Conmigo, was the first Tejano album to go gold on the Billboard chart. So it was seen as this crossover music was seen as being very important and kind of a notice of things to come. He had movies like La Bamba, where Richie Valens, he died in a plane crash with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper in 1959 and only recorded a few songs, but he was seen as a cultural icon for many in the Hispanic community. And in 1983, also you see the power of the Mexican American purse as Coors beer begins a decade of Hispanic advertising in the 1990s. In fairness, this had been prompted by a boycott, a threatened boycott that said, look, there's a lot of Hispanics who buy Coors and Coors products and yet very little Hispanic employment in this area. And so Coors donates or promises $300 million to help Hispanic businesses. As many members of the Hispanic community or members of the Catholic Church changes within the church and its structure and its appointments also are reflective of the changes in the population. So Hispanic Bishop Pat Flores of San Antonio, you see his picture here on the right, is the first Hispanic Bishop in the United States. He's active in other causes. One is the development of Padres, which are priests association for social education, religious rights. He is also behind the development of Catholic television in San Antonio. Another Catholic priest, Robert Sanchez in Santa Fe, New Mexico is named the first Hispanic Archbishop in the mid 1970s. And then you also see the church working within the community and an organization like San Antonio's cops community organized for public service. And no relation to the police. It was just a public service organization and likewise a similar organization called Uno United Neighborhood Organization in Los Angeles. While Laurel Cavazos, who's pictured here standing on the right, was the first Hispanic cabinet member, Ronald Reagan appointed him. Reagan's vice president who becomes president, George H. W. Bush, appoints the second Hispanic cabinet member. And this is Manuel Lujan, who you see on the left, who was Secretary of the Interior. And here both Lujan and Cavazos were present when George H. W. Bush signed the White House initiative on educational excellence for Hispanics. And he did this on September 24, 1990 Hispanic Heritage Month. And this was aimed at promoting better educational opportunities for the Hispanic community. The initiative was renewed under successive administrations Clinton, George W. Bush, Obama administrations. And in 2020, under President Trump, the initiative was expanded and renamed the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative to also include business besides educational opportunities. So in this lecture, we looked at how immigration expanded the Mexican American community. And we see that political repression and economic limitations, along with relaxed immigration laws, led to increased immigration from Latin American countries. In examining the educational gaps, we see that increased immigration often belied and set back gains that Mexican Americans had made other Hispanics as well and increased attention to state and federal level for educational equity. This is a giving to each educational group, group within education, minorities, what they needed, not just trying to say that they were providing equal opportunity, but equitable opportunity. And it also, we see that as in the political and social recognition for the increasing Hispanic population in the late 20th century, more efforts to mobilize Hispanic voters, which led to increased repression in political office and increased recognition of Mexican American and other Hispanics for their cultural contributions as well. And I think a lot of this is tied to economic power as well.


In theory, and in many places practically, you get more participation, you get more productivity, you get better spirit, you get a different attitude towards democratic. There have been several studies, if you have workplace democracy that is real, very often you see greater democracy in the community. They also participate. But it's very difficult to achieve, and we see many experiments out of these poor communities where it's not very democratic, and that's a whole other developmental stage because these people have been really badly treated and badly educated. So it's by no means simple to achieve real democratic participation. You see it in upper, in middle class cooperatives, and they also exist as well, in upper middle class cooperatives. There you see more participation, you see more ideology, you see more equality of different variations. But in poor communities, that's not always true. The first requirement is income. This is 40% unemployment, and we have very little support for people who aren't working. So the question of reaching to participation is not easy. They really want their money and their job, and they have no experience. So that's another stage that we're trying to, we're seeing people experimenting with developing genuine participation.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical over here she's talking about prey in this video here again today aka predator 5 now I saw some people in the comment section and some other people just questioning if this movie was rated R or not now I'll go over what is officially out on the hulu press site because again This movie is going straight the hulu on August 5th I though many people saw the leaked footage you're like oh this looks like it could be a theatrical release Some people even thought that offer the teaser this movie very well looks like it is theatrical release worthy It's just unfortunately not going to be that so as you see here on your screen. There is a Rating for the movie that does indeed say rated R There's also a synopsis as a little bit more updated than the one that I was reading to you from last year When this movie was discovered with the working title of Skull and all the other casting call details were comprised of make that synopsis So it says here Set in the Comanche nation of 300 years ago Prey is the story of a young woman Nauru a fierce and highly skilled warrior She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains So when danger threatens her camp she sets out to protect her people the prey She stalks and ultimately confronts turns out to be highly evolved alien predator with a technic Technically advanced arsenal Resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries now Reading this this sounds a lot more digestible than the one before in the last video I just did where you have mentions of her being a tomboy going against gender norms stuff like that when you just allow Your film to speak for itself That is the best way to give off the messages because of the fact that when you become too forceful in your Presentation before the movie is already out. That's how a lot of people end up in that mindset Oh, this is going to be woke and you know certain aspects of what people consider woke. They're not new to the horror genre They're not new to filmmaking. There's always been some type of political stuff always in movies. I Can say that yes movies today might be a little bit more forceful and less subtle with what they want to address but a Female empowerment narrative in a predator movie it again all comes down to how are you gonna depict it on screen? If you are depicting to us a movie in which you have a woman in a scenario Where she is going to just prove that she is just as worthy to participate in what the men are participating in I see nothing wrong with that However, the dialogue along the way can be what rocks the boat for some people if your dialogue is riddled with things That are screaming black Christmas 2019 That is where I can see where some people are going to have a problem as far as you know Just what we've already gotten is bits of dialogue from the from the footage that leaked It doesn't seem like this is going to be very forceful with its narrative in terms of beating you over the head With the fact that these men are inferior and the woman is superior as much as it is going to yes try to tell a narrative in which This woman just wants to show that she can do everything that the men around her can do which I see nothing wrong with There's countless stories like that already the problem people have though is how again when you have wordings like tomboy breaking gender norms and how it's Being just coming out in a climate in which everything seems like it's about virtual signaling through art and all these other things People will then pinpoint stuff and say oh that's woke. That's woke. That's woke. That's woke. That's woke So it's like okay. I see where you're coming from but until I see the movie I'm not completely sold that we're gonna get a force forcefully fed narrative about strong women I think we're just gonna have a decently-told movie that is about a woman proving that she can stand on her own with a male-dominated Society that's literally all I think we're gonna get so far I will come on here and tell you if I felt that the dialogue is a little bit forceful with its intent Regarding propelling her to a certain status over the men. I will come on here and tell you that so far I don't feel like we're getting that and it doesn't seem like they're gonna kill all the men off very early because again The footage from that leak could have been out of order though. So it doesn't seem like we're getting that With the regards to other aspects of this movie Could we have a female predator in the sense that What you could have revealed in this interaction between Nauru and the predator that show of course ended up being entangled with is that This is a female predator I know because I'm someone who actually plays that new predator game or not new it came out recently Predator hunting grounds. I believe they also had recently just introduced a female predator there I know female predators have had their mentions in some of the comics and other arts related to predator in the films Though for the most part, I think they've remained genderless might be wrong there. I haven't watched predator recently I believe they've remained genderless, but you know assigning genders again. Some people are gonna be upset about that. I You know, there's a lot of things that people are just gonna be upset about with this movie that really just to me I'm just like, okay if assigning a gender is the biggest setback for you I Would say there needs to be some reevaluating of what's what's a priority in the stuff that is criticized because If this movie is well shot has great action sequences has great Cinematography a great score a lot of great tension building great direction And you know all these other components of filmmaking that are just hitting it from all cylinders But you're gonna knock it down several pegs because you had a gender assignment of a female predator There's I would say that there's something wrong there because that's that's that's very minuscule in in my movie critiquing mind That's very minuscule you telling me that there's a female predator Like I that's very that's like That's like bottom of the barrel and the things that I'm looking for when it comes to is this movie good or not That's bottom of the barrel now. I'm not saying that you're that your barrel has to be like mine But that just seems like okay. That's a little bit Low bar for me in the sense of Knocking the movie down a peg because I do see a scenario playing out where Nauru is battling this predator and it's revealed that it's a Female predator and it tries to reel her in and try to show like because we know they hunt for sport so it tries to reel her in and say oh you've earned my respect for all you've done out here and try to you know bow to her and Show that it doesn't want to fight anymore said Nauru lets her guard down and then this female predator kills Nauru and triumphs over her This could still be again done in a way like I said in the last video You can still tell a compelling female empowerment story I would just love to see a predator come out on top in the instill though while you still Successfully tell a story about a woman or woman in this nation proving that she could do just as much as what the guys were doing So we'll see what happens with with prey and again, it is rated or I'll leave a link to the press release down in the description If you haven't already of course make sure you subscribe turn on post a kitchen in this video in the description I've linked some social media accounts on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there Of course, there's any movies news reviews I'm gonna cover in the future and with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


Do you love artichokes, but you don't like all the rigmarole and the process you have to go through just to get them ready to eat? Well today I'm going to show you how to make them. We're going to be using some frozen artichoke hearts and all we have to do is toss those into a pan with some olive oil. We're going to add some garlic and some lemon and some feta cheese. It's really simple. It's very quick and you're going to love them. I'm Rockin' Robin and I'm going to show you how to do it right after my chef joke. Okay, so here's our chef joke for today. Actually, there'll be another one a little bit later, so stay tuned for that. Alright, so what is a chef's favorite wrestling movie? The artichoke. So before we start cooking, we're going to want to slice up some fresh garlic and then chop it up really fine so there's no really big large chunks. Okay, so we're ready to start cooking. I have a smaller pan here just because I'm only making 8 ounces of artichoke. So this is big enough to get a nice single layer. I'm going to turn my temperature on to medium-high if my stove cooperates.  Probably, I don't know, a couple teaspoons. And I'm going to let that get hot. And while that's getting hot, we're going to open up our artichokes. Now remember, you don't have to defrost your artichokes. Just use them fresh out of the freezer. So once your oil gets hot, you can tell by how runny it gets or it gets very liquidy. You're going to go ahead and toss in those artichokes. Now, if your pan is really hot and the artichokes come out of the freezer, it may spit up at you, so be very careful about that. I brought out my splatter guard just in case. So you want to spread these out in a single layer so that everyone is touching the bottom of the pan. So we've got our temperature on medium-high. We want it high enough now so that we can, you know, sear these up. So they're going to cook about seven minutes, but we're going to check them at about five just to see how they're doing. So put your lid on these and let them go. Okay, it must be time for Chef's joke number two. Here we go. What vegetable did Noah leave off the ark? And don't say artichoke. The leek. Okay, it's been four minutes. I'm going to air on the side of caution here and check them a little early. Let's see what we got. Oh, yeah, you can see already the browning that's going on, right? You can see that on the edges of the artichokes. Just flip these over. See, this is what you want right there. That's what you're looking at. Look at that. So I'm going to flip these over and kind of char up the second side. So check yours at four minutes instead. It just really depends on how high your temperature is. And I can't really tell you when I'm not in your kitchen how high you want to do that or how long you want to let it go. All right, it's been another couple of minutes. Let's have a look to see here. Oh, man, these look great. Perfect. All right, so now I'm going to add the garlic to this and just let that cook up for a minute. I'm going to turn the heat down just a bit because I don't want that garlic to burn. So we got that in there. I'm going to add a little bit of salt. And we're just going to saute that up a little bit. The artichokes are basically done. They're nice and soft and tender. They've got that nice brown coating full of flavor. And we're going to add our lemon zest. Now, remember, I have my temperature down to low. This is an organic lemon, by the way. And I love lemon zest. The oils are just fantastic. Don't grate too deeply into this. Just go one little swipe and rotate. Okay, that should do it.  And here we go and cut that in half. And then I'll use my press here. And we're just going to squeeze enough lemon juice right around. Turn off the heat. Give it a toss. The only thing left is I'm going to add a little bit of feta cheese. My hands are clean, so I like to use my hands. I like to break up the cheese a little bit, like the smaller chunks. Sprinkle that in there as much as you want. There's no set amount. And if you want to add other things, I mean, I could see adding maybe some sliced almonds to this or just, you know, another vegetable even. Or you can serve it just like this. It's wonderful. Now, since I have fresh basil on hand, I have a little plant over here. I'm going to add some to the top of my dish because fresh basil is just amazing. It's one of my favorite herbs. If you've been watching my channel, you know that. So I'm just going to grab a couple of leaves and add this for some nice fresh flavor.  Oh, the smells are amazing in here. But literally, this dish cooked up 10 minutes. You're done. I mean, I can whip this up so quickly and it's so delicious. So let me put some here on my plate. See if I can get some on there and take a nice bite. I love this dish on its simplicity. And yet, it's like a dish that you would find in a restaurant. It's the flavors are that good. And I'll toss on some basil. And man, that is just beautiful. God, it smells so good in here. I wish you could smell it. All right, so let me take a taste here. The lemon, the brightness, the basil, the garlic, everything together, fantastic. Using the frozen artichokes is like having fresh without any of the work. That's the beauty of this. If you like vegetable recipes, I've got several that are excellent, that are just so good. And one that you might want to try is my roasted vegetables over a pesto sauce with a balsamic reduction. Oh my God, it's so good. You got to try that one as well. Thank you so much for watching. If you enjoyed today's video, smash the like button for me to let me know. And leave me a comment. Maybe you have a recipe request. I'd love to hear it. Thanks again, and we'll see you back here next week for another rockin' recipe.


Baskin Robbins is trying to get their piece of this five billion dollar bubble tea market. What if they call a nice Boba? All right, everybody Baskin Robbins has just released its very own Tiger milk bubble tea it has tea in it It's based off the Tiger sugar milk drink. It also has brown sugar popping bubbles inside of it We're actually gonna try it at the end of this video, but David we got some questions Yeah, I mean it sparked a controversy in the Boba fanatic crowd some people support it Some people go against it. Some people are in the middle. So we got to talk about it. All right We're gonna talk about is it cultural appropriation but first let's talk about who is this actually for? Because I don't think it's for the Asian Boba drinking crowd David Some people are worried that it was gonna like take money away from the mom-and-pop stores, but I don't think it's true It's primarily for people in states that don't have Boba as well as certain demographics within larger cities like LA or New York or Houston where like maybe some people are like culturally uncomfortable being actually in an Asian Asian spot, you know So I think that you know Baskin Robbins is obviously wanting to get a slice of this potentially five billion dollar industry Like I think those are the projections for the Boba game globally in seven years It's all about money But people are worried because they're thinking that these American companies are gonna start serving Asian products because they have access to like that You know different markets than Asians have access to and they're gonna eat it all up Yeah, I mean they're probably afraid that somebody from Kentucky Indiana or Georgia is gonna come to LA for this to the 626 and be like Hey, this Well, this bubble tea drink is similar to the one that I had a Baskin Robbins You know Karabaskins the Tiger King. That's that was the collaboration. That's how I see it Yeah, I was told that it is from Canton Canton, Massachusetts. By the way, I love Taiwan East Pad Thai But I don't I don't know if that's gonna be the case guys. I wouldn't worry too much about it But yes, I do think it's mostly for the markets that don't have a lot of Boba Another big question I think people really want to ask David is is it cultural appropriation at all? Like should we support it?  Should we just let it be?   So the Asian slice of it is right now. It's a smaller pie, but it's almost all Asian now If I think there's a Baskin Robbins next to a mom-and-pop boba shop, right? And Baskin Robbins starts serving Boba. Could it eat up that mom-and-pop market? Possibly, however, if you look at like the boba chains I think what Baskin Robbins is doing is maybe introducing a lot of people to the idea of bubble tea and therefore Increasing the overall market cap for people like boba guys are going to come in there and open up more locations Not only that where are they gonna source their materials from they may buy it from wholesalers in Asia You know a variety of different Asian countries now do wholesale boba products whether that's boba straws We know somebody who even took a company public selling boba straws Karen Look at this photo you would not believe how big this economy is guys I'm not defending Baskin Robbins because I don't know who's on their board or how many Asian people they just hired to go Launch this because they actually kind of failed with the popping pearls with Dunkin Donuts earlier If you guys don't know Dunkin owns Baskin Robbins and there was a big controversy because they did not attribute anything to Asians And that's why this time they made very sure to go oobish from Philippines The tiger sugars from Taiwan. Yeah guys. We said it Please don't cancel it guys. It's on our website Baskin Robbins, you know, I might help if you put up a little triangle of information in all your stores And just tell people the history of boba. Honestly, I think it would be cool I think it'd be cool I think there's always a fear of colonization right because if you look at the coffee industry Most of the beans come from I believe Africa and Southeast Asia or South America South America I'm sorry Africa and Southeast Asia, but a lot of they don't get to see the bulk of the profits They just get the thin margin or whatever from margin in the beans and obviously companies like Starbucks and etc Etc they're taking the bulk of the margin You could also argue that they're finishing the product, but it's complicated man It's complicated any time a white American company with super advanced billion dollar infrastructure and all the analytics goes into a mom-and-pop Field like boba, right? David people are Skeptical people are scared people don't know what to do, but to me. I'm like guys. This is the world. This is America It's capitalistic.  They're both missing the point, right? You guys should be riding this wave to the wave is the way we can't control the wave The wave is that Asian flavors are really delicious both ube tiger sugar, etc, etc I'm sure that Starbucks, you know, they already do a matcha drink I wouldn't be surprised if Baskin Robbins is gonna have a matcha ice cream or a hoji chai ice cream on the menu within like Two years they have a matcha latte right now What are you gonna do as an Asian American to benefit from this versus just like arguing with each other about it because it's coming No guys figure out a way to benefit from the rise of Asian flavors that ultimately a lot of white owned Corporations will adopt maybe not as their own But they will use it to make money and that is part of the system that we have here in America David I also know a Korean guy who got rich from serving Tex-Mex food called Baja Fresh right so I'm saying that's that and nobody really caused a controversy about that also guys The guy who started whether the Tex Mexians not offended though Yeah, I did the and the guy who started Taco Bell is not of Mexican descent, right, right? I know that it is fair to though that a lot of Chicanos are Mexican Americans We know feel some type of way about yeah And you don't have to eat a Taco Bell You don't have to go to Baskin Robbins You can spend your energy hating on them if you want, but it probably won't do that much Especially in the fact that they're doing a brown sugar milk drink Which I actually think has the opportunity to be at least like medium level good Maybe not amazing, but probably not horrible. Just well You guys think they're on version 2.0 right now popping pearls were terrible from Duncan That was 1.0 now Tiger sugars 2.0. Who knows if they put the R&D in version 5.0 6.0 It could taste pretty good guys. So I think that Asian Americans we got to think about like okay Maybe you can open up a boba chain. I know tea pumps. That was their whole thing We're gonna be like renamed boba to be tea pumps for people who don't want to say, you know Like an Asian word also David. I have a question is brown sugar itself an Asian flavor Is that like matcha? Is that like uve is that like five spice? What if they do a five spice drink then um, that's really a but brown sugar and milk is obviously the Tiger sugar trend that they started But but brown sugar in itself has been around for forever I just like think percent Arabica came into the coffee game and really like left a dent in the game That's Japanese made coffee from Kyoto. They were pretty strong. I just feel like Asian Americans We got to understand that this tidal wave is coming and how are we gonna ride it? And but we're like arguing about whether the tidal wave is good or bad And I'm like guys. It's here. Yeah, just like argue about it for like ten minutes And then spend like three hours thinking about how you're gonna benefit from it.  This is just Asian representation in the food space So I don't know it is what it is. It's coming. It's here Asians didn't own like CRA either we were sitting Who do you think makes made most of the money from crazy rich Asians? All right, everybody. Thank you so much for watching that Please let us know in the comments down below what you think are you gonna support it? Do you hate it? What do you think about this whole trend that Asian flavors are gonna be used by by American corporations? By the way, we are about to try the Tiger milk bubble tea right now They serve the Irish Bailey's flavor and they also serve the you know Italian tutti frutti. I don't know All right, everybody. Thank you so much for watching until next time. We out Peace. Oh, yeah, you got your vanilla ice cream on top. You've got your brown sugar on the bottom swirls It looks meticulous like they said in the description Weird it's weird, but not bad. That's the best way I can describe it Something from some sort of legit hollow hollow mixed with thrift way bubblegum ice cream. You give it rating out of 10 Be real given the expectation 6.5

South African president Cyril Ramakosa is warning against the looting and violence in the country. He says they're demanding or damaging efforts to rebuild the economy in the wake of COVID-19. Unrest by pro-zuma supporters had been focused on his home province of Quazulu-Natal that but has spread to South Africa's economic hub Johannesburg. Amor has been set ablaze in the capital of Quazulu-Natal in Pieters-Marysburg and Faray Mavuti is joining us via Zoom. He is the senior editor of the Southern African Times. It's good to have you join us Faray. I thank you for having me. Great. So well we're seeing videos disturbing pictures of looting, burning of tires, you know a lot of you know confusion on the streets of not just Quazulu-Natal but now of course it's taken to Johannesburg. Why exactly do you think that this is happening? Is it that people support the corruption that Jacob Zuma seems to have signified before this case was final? Well again thank you for having me but I think it's important that we look at things in the perspective that they are. My job is not to literally suggest perhaps what people may or may not be supporting and if the alleged corruption cases are to be proven correct or not because so to give you a background Jacob Zuma was taken to jail not on the basis of the corruption cases it was based on a commission of inquiry and that commission of inquiry he was found to be in contempt of took the case to the constitutional court and the constitutional court presented a judgment that he was in contempt of court of the commission and also consequence was sentenced to 15 months in jail. What a lot of people deemed to have been unprecedented in fact if you read the judgment the judgment alone suggests that the approach was uncharted territory so that new precedence within a country that has a backdrop of the apartheid regime led by the time to click who equally defied a commission of course the difference being that that particular commission of the time did not necessarily go to did not place an order of arrest in this instance which was the case it set a different precedence and the and Jacob Zuma coming from a constituency of the constituency question which is Gwazulu Nadaw it was deemed as an injustice and as a consequence we have seen the disturbances. Again I know that you're not South African and you might not really have the right answer to this question but what change does this protest or all of this unrest bring I mean does it change the fact that he's been sentenced to 15 months in jail I mean of course he will have to still continue through the process of the hearings until you know the final case is done but all of this protest and the the destruction we see stars looted I mean what difference does it make and and I hear the president speaking today and calling for peace and calm why do we always see these kinds of reactions from African countries especially the likes of South Africa okay well let me try and put let me put it in a context that's more closer to home not to suggest that it is the same case but we must look at a content we must look at protests within the context of the country itself so for example when in Nigeria when we had the end source movement for instance it was an outcry because it the citizenry had deemed the issue to have been a failure on the state's part to issue justice so in such instances a society finds no other avenue to articulate its concerns in this particular context the concern being that the apex court the highest court in the land in which you cannot you cannot revisit the case had argued against what many deemed to be a principle of justice and with with multiple arguments just basing it on the minority judgment itself so I suppose how does it resolve itself well today the constitutional court was able to sit down and have a discussion our the hope would be that a combination of the presidential actions which of course introduced the military onto the ground and perhaps a political solution to that issue within the context of the ANC itself revisiting its own divisions but subsequently the judiciary re-looking at its own judgment within the context of the concerns raised by the legal team from Zuma's legal team basically perhaps you may find some resolutions in that context but to answer your question directly more directly more specifically I would say that a lot of the outcomes that we anticipate to see right in as far as looking at protest as just a solution and the looting aspect of it of which must be condemned it should speak to a more it should speak to a lack of proactive leadership especially considering the fact that the provincial leadership of Wazulu Natal had agitated this issue at the at the NEC which is the national executive committee of the of the of the governing party and the fact that these issues were ignored leaves a lot of desire well I asked that question earlier and just to put it in context because we see that these protests even though they start with good intent are always hijacked by people who become looters who steal who harass and and this is something that we see all across Africa if not you know across the world and that's why I asked if you know this at any point can really give us the answers to the questions that we hope for but anyway thank you very much for speaking with us for our mobility we appreciate it thank you hello hope you enjoyed the news please do subscribe to our youtube channel and don't forget to hit the notification button so you get notified about fresh news updates


Deadpool was a fun refreshing twist on the formula and much like Garth Brooks's untethered Chris Gaines persona It was a risky venture at first unlike Gaines though. Deadpool wasn't an embarrassing tragedy for everyone involved We're gonna talk about it today on this episode of X gonna give it to you.  I liked it more than I liked the first Good cameos loved it. I mean come on if you can't trust a grown adult going by the name of Jordy, baby Who can you trust next up is Colin who may or may not be wearing clothes? Was it a good time? Yeah good as the first Thank you for that Colin your opinion couldn't be any less clear last but certainly least is Henrik I think it's great to gorilla thumbs up to gorilla thumbs up Indeed. I don't even know what that means. Let's talk marketing sexy provocative Tangible these are all words. I foolishly used in my LinkedIn profile Deadpool's marketing is brilliantly witty the ad team put maximum effort into a series of posters that either played off the Love story aspect of the movie or just straight mocked Ryan Reynolds past films multiple public service announcements were shot as well But I think my favorite is a billboard featuring just a few tasteful emojis in the letter L. It's simple. It's classy. It's Deadpool I'm touching myself tonight DP2's marketing and myself have a lot in common. We both have a flare for pageantry. We're both unique We're both clever. We both are disappointments in our father's eyes You can see a music video of our hero ballet dancing to a beautiful song by Celine Dion I mean saying beautiful and Celine in the same breath is a bit redundant. She's a goddamn queen. She's royalty Anyway, my favorite ad stunt was the transformation of a lot of big Fox movie covers to feature only Deadpool The list is expansive of some of these great marketing achievements everything from a Bob Ross trailer to Reynolds Constantly trolling Hugh Jackman as Wolverine on Twitter Have you seen the D too many times to count? Are you looking for something new yet familiar to fill that hole? I'm still aware of how this sounds then I have the movies for you Scott Pilgrim versus the world bombed pretty hard when it hit theaters in 2010 but it's not apologizing for that It's an odd flick featuring a multitude of video game and pop culture references clever in your face Easter eggs a vegan Superman a douchey skateboarding captain America and a really great cast Kick ass is a violent hard-art action comedy that doesn't pull its punches This flick features a pre-teen girl going on a murderous rampage to the hit song reputation It's glorious the X-Men first-class and Kingsman director knows how to frame up great action scenes The humor can be just as terrific with a good chunk of laughs coming from normal people attempting to be superheroes It has a very mystery men vibe to it You know except good apparently 2010 was the year of porcupines as super was also released to the world and by World I mean the 12 or so people that actually went out and watched this movie It turns out this dark comedy written and directed by James Gunn is a nice little rainy afternoon watch Gunn would later go on to direct big blockbusters like the Guardians of the Galaxy series But this was a nice grounded starter doesn't hurt that rain Wilson Ellen Page Nathan Fillion and Kevin Bacon are also attached Not only do I think Deadpool 1 and 2 are awesome I think Ryan Reynolds definitely deserves and earned this franchise Van Wilder put in the work for years to see this movie get made and he made it the right way before this Reynolds Didn't have a whole lot of big films going on hell He didn't have a whole lot going on in general outside of being a really really really good-looking man with a smoking hot Wife millions of dollars in the bank account tons of adoring fans an infectious personality that draws anybody in like a magnet Yeah, he really needed this win Thank you. Thanks for watching this episode of there will be blood reviews. That's a working title obviously Let's roll out with a little bit of Hall of Back girl Which was featured in the test footage of Deadpool not in the final film, but I can't get enough of that song


Three months until it goes away. What's the best method? Well, that used to be bed rest. When I first started training many, many years ago, it was one week of bed rest with acute back pain. It's shortened to five days by the time I finished my training, then it was two, then it was one, now zero. We do not recommend bed rest only if the pain is excruciating. But as soon as it's tolerable, we recommend patients get up and at least walk around the house and do gentle stretching, get the tennis ball, heat nice packs. I know following my surgery, that's the first thing they wanted me out of that bed immediately. That is the best. Activity, the human organism has to move to heal. Mm-hmm.
