Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Grail. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I've got this really nice gift box. It's quite large. It's exactly the same style as the big bow gift box that I've done and I'll link that one. But this one's just taller and a bit thinner. And I've done this different technique with the ribbon. So the ribbon actually is attached to the bottom here. So when you undo all of this, which I'll show you, so I've just wrapped that loosely the tag on there just to show you. I've just done a matching little tag there and I've done little, there we go, happy. It's got some little flowers. So that one just comes off easily at the minute because I haven't really attached it properly. But this is a double bow because obviously there's four pieces of ribbons. You just undo the whole thing. It all comes down and it's still attached. So you're not going to lose that all. And then you just open it up and inside you can see you've got a really large gift box. This one measures up at four by eight and a half. So it's a really nice size. So that's that one there. I'm not going to fluff about with the bow. Those of you that follow me enough now know that bows take me a while. So there we go. We'll just pop that all to one side. So to make this one, you are going to need, as I do, I bring everything into the screen. So I've already prepped some of it. Get rid of this on my tape and scissors. You don't need to see all that. So the papers that I'm using, I'm doing a completely different colourway with this one. So I'm doing black and craft card. But I got these paper packs from the Works and I think they were like 99p. I know they were 99p or 199. I think they were 99p. And they're lovely. They're only single sided but they're just really unusual. So I've got three of the same because that one I love and then I've just got one of the silver. But if I just quickly flick through, see some of them are just plain and then you've got this beautiful foiled bird or sparrow. Lovely one there with the roses, which is what I'm using today. Another really lovely foiled one. You can colour these in as well with gel pens and stuff. They'd look really good. Strawberries. There's another really good, that one there. It's just really lovely. So again, the Works UK. I'll have a look and I'll share the links to the Works anyway. But I know a lot of people do have one nearby. So check out their craft section because some of them are really good. And that's the silver one. I'll just flick through there and you can see some really different. This was quite good for birthdays because it's got numbers and letters. There you go. So I just thought some of those. That one's really good, really fun. Polka dots and some stripes again. So really good. So okay, I've got ribbon. I'll go through the lengths of that in a second. I've already prepared my card there. So again, using that flower background, the same as what I'm going to be using today, just on the happy. And okay, so this is what we're going to need. That one's already done. So you need two pieces of eight and a quarter by eight and a quarter. And this is going to be for the actual main case. Okay, so two pieces of that. You then need two pieces of eight by eight. And that's for the lid and the base. And then you'll need four pieces of pattern paper. Now the paperback I'm using, they only have two of each design, no three of each design, sorry, and I need four sides and I can't get the right amount from just one piece of six by six. So I've gone flower stripe. So that's also another good thing is that if you're ever using flowers, they work really well with polka dots and stripes. So just another little thing there. So this is three and five eighths of an inch by five and seven eighths of an inch. So you need four pieces of that size. Okay, so first of all, starting off with our side pieces here. So along your eight and a quarter inch side, you want to score. First of all, you want to pull the card out just ever so slightly. So it's literally coming halfway from the edge of your scoreboard here to the first notch. You just want it in between. So it's just revealing a little bit of the scoreboard underneath there. If I push it back in, so it disappears. And if I pull it out a little bit, you can just see the bottom of the scoreboard appear. Pull it out and you want to score at four inches. Okay, don't pull it out right up to the first notch that one eighth of an inch halfway. Okay, then push it back in against it's nice and flush and score it seven and seven eighths of an inch. And by doing that, it allows us to sit inside the base. So we just need to shrink it down that little bit. Okay, then that's all the score in there. So repeat that on your other piece. You should have two pieces like so. I've already prepared this one with my pieces stuck down. Once you've prepared those two, what you can do is stick your DSP on because it's easier to do it while it's flat. But what you want to do is you want to stick it so that it comes up one and a quarter inches from the bottom because the lid is going to sit, the base story is going to sit in the bottom here. So you don't want to put your DSP right down the bottom because it's going to get hidden.  As you can see, I've got there. Okay, so like I said, bring it up and then stick it one and a quarter inch up and just make sure that you give yourself an even border on each of the sides there as well. Okay, so I've got these two pieces here. So like I said, one will be going one and a quarter up there and the other one will be going in there. So I'm just going to quickly stick those down in place. Okay, so I've got them all both stuck down now. So pop them to one side. Don't worry about where I put the tape for a minute. So I want you to do this next bit and then that will make the sticking and where to put the sticky tape easier. So you need two pieces of eight by eight. One piece, you're going to score, well both pieces, you're going to score this same way actually. It's just this, the top one, sorry, the bottom one you need to put these holes in. So both pieces, you want to score at one inch, two inch, six inch and seven inch. And then rotate the card and score again at one, two, six and seven. Okay, so then what you want to do with only one of them, because they're both the same size, each one is exactly the same size. So what you want to do first of all, before we burnish it, let me get rid of this scoreboard, you need one of these tools or a pokey tool, or if you do have a hole punch that will come in, how far in is this, one and a half inches then that will work fine. But this one here, I use it a lot now, it's one of my go-tos and it's the X-Cuts screw punch, it's brilliant. So basically you just want to this, so the inner long rectangles, the four ones here, so you've got your big square in the middle and then those four long ones that are right next to it, they're the ones you want to hole punch in. These outer ones leave empty. If you measure their four inches, so just put a little marker from the inside square here, I'm just putting a little marker at two and then you want to come up just over half an inch, yeah no half an inch because it's a one inch rectangle.  So we've already done the three there, so I'm just going to do this one, let me just quickly mark this one up, a little marker with my pokey tool and then I can just sit this over, there we go and that gives you your holes and they're just really nice and neat. So yeah like I said highly recommend that one, again I'll share all the links. So now that you've done that you can burnish all of your score lines, so just go over, again with the craft card you have to work it a little bit more, but it's a really robust strong card. Okay and do that all with the second piece as well, remember it's only one piece that you're doing the hole punches on. Then we want to do some cutting so I'm just going to grab my scissors and pick a side it doesn't matter because they're all the same and you've got four squares in the corner just with any reinforced lids that I do or boxes you want to just cut down both of those like so, okay so you've got these two tabs then turn it to one side and cut one of them completely out, just take a little notch wedge off the corner there, cut that one down come back around to this one take a little wedge off and then take little wedges off of that as well. So what you're creating is a little tab there okay so again I'll go across to this one cut all the way down, cut that end one off completely like so okay then rotate the whole thing so now that side's facing away from you and just go ahead and do exactly the same again okay so that's what you should now have okay and you'll have another one exactly the same but minus these holes in it okay so now with this one we need to just prepare the ribbon before we stick it all down so I've got here four pieces of this ribbon here it's a really nice one it's like an ombre kind of like blended ribbon again this was from the range in the UK remember I've done a Facebook live of all these 12 meter ribbons that we brought there were so many of them so these measure 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 so you want four pieces of 27 so it is a lot but it's going up that side and then over and then being wrapped in a bow as well so that's what you need or that's what I've used anyway for mine what you want to do is from the outside so this is how the base will sit and these will be the sides that are going to come up you want to just go in okay just like that I'm just going to then trim it so it's nice and straight and I haven't got any frayed bits and then just with some double-sided tape I'm just going to pop a bit along the top there okay so you can see what I've done just bring it up so I've just put a bit of tape above it there all right just in that section so just remove the tape and then just fold it back on that like so okay just keeps it in place and then I'm going to be using my tacky glue and I'm just going to run glue all along no I've gone too far ahead don't do that don't do that bit right go around and do what I've just done with the ribbon you know what I'm doing there I've gone completely ahead you do the sides first I should know that I do enough of them right so just rotate and grab another bit of ribbon and again put that through I don't really need to trim that one that one's okay grab my double-sided tape again and just go around and do that just to get them all secure in place okay so they're now all in place so just flip it over so they are all kind of just falling off the sides there and on the outside of all of these little tabs you want to just put some glue so I'm just running again my tacky glue and then you're just going to pop it underneath so it starts to come up and form a corner and just stick that down so it's nice and secure those are you that watch me regularly we'll whizz through this now because you know what I'm going to say next so then you go around to this next one pop a little bit of tape glue on top like so and again just bring it underneath so it comes around like so okay and just do that on the other two corners okay so that's now what you should have so you can see your base coming together now you will you'll do exactly this process with that other piece all you're doing is you're not putting the holes in it but in terms of putting it together it'd be exactly the same as this then just fold out those outer ones and inside here again just put more glue like so and then you want to just fold that one right over ribbon is going to get in your way a bit so you just need to kind of push it to one side pop it on its side and just with your bone tool just rub that tab down so you're spreading all that glue out and you're also giving it a really nice edge okay like so so I've got a really nice side there to that base so again go around to that one pop the glue on do that one and that's what you should have so now you have your base all nicely concealed and obviously the ribbon's hanging over now you can also use acetate to go around in here which is why I showed you concealing it like this you could just tuck the ribbon in but I don't think it looks as nice it looks nice coming through a punched hole like that so play around with it I mean you might find other ways but that I think is a really neat and relatively easy way to do it so that's that one so now we can go back so you will have two now so I've already done my lid okay so you'll have two pieces one that's without the hole then grab these two pieces that we already stuck the DSP on to and what you want to do is along the bottom so I've got my tabs on the right hand side okay my right hand side and then what you want to do is with this is just bring it down let me just use one piece I don't need both of you bring this down to the bottom and it will come up one inch if you just mark with a pencil a little one inch you'll do a thin pencil line all the way across there then just apply your sticky tape below that pencil line and even a little bit below the pencil because you don't want any of that sticky to come over the top of this so now when I when that will stick inside this bit here because it's going to be you want to stick it on the outside of this so on the side with the DSP because this is going to be going inside the base like so so if I bring that up there you can see that none of that red tape is showing and I've got that nice border that I was talking about before okay so stick it all along there and stick it all down your tabs and do that on both pieces and then if you take off your side panels first like so and you just want to make sure you get it nice and lined up start at the top where was this start at the top and then you'll know because that's the bit that's really going to be seen you could always trim the bottom if you're slightly off because you won't see that like I am for some reason why is that did I not cut that right was that a funny piece maybe that one's a bit shorter no that's fine I'm going to see just like I said now I can just easily can you see that slightly longer um this one's just a little bit longer than eight and a quarter but I can just go along there now and trim that and it's not going to you know make any difference to my box I'm quickly going to do that now okay so that's all rectified now so then we stuck that one down flip it over fold this one over first with that sticky piece and then you should be able to lie this one down completely flat on top and it will line up perfectly just like so and again I need to trim that just a little bit earlier I've done that on my trimmer so obviously didn't hold it completely flat right so there we have this tube now kind of coming together now remove all of your tape from the bottom okay then grab your base so the piece with all the ribbon okay and you want to hold this with the glue at the bottom and you want to push all of them in like that so you get that shape okay then pop it into your base make sure all the corners meet all the corners of the base and just let it kind of expand out into place so it will be like that and then put your hand in and go along the bottom and just flatten each one against the side okay so just play around with it a bit so you're happy that you've got it all in place and that's what you should have got a nice box coming together okay then just grab your lid because that's already and that will sit nice and flush on top of your box like so okay and then grab each of these pieces bring them up to the top so I've got two on that side and these two up this side okay and then just tie them together just as you would any other bow so just imagine now that you've just got two pieces like so so I'm just going to it's a little bit fiddly but it does work this is like an organza ribbon so it should become really quite a full bow so now you can see I'm just pulling it all together you can go around make sure depending on what you're using okay so I've done the bow my video just cut off as I was doing the bow I was going to just keep going and show you but I've done it you can see that it's a nice double double bow with the double little tails there as well so there is the gift box so the tag I've got I just need some black string I haven't cut it but that will just tie around there and kind of just hang down on the side but I think that's really quite adorable so completely different with the craft card and the black there and then you've got see this one here which I haven't tied all back up yet but really girly really cute so yeah hope I've inspired you giving you some ideas and you give it a go so hope you enjoyed today and please

Hello everybody! In this video, I'm going to tell you about 10 Wi-BAR settings to make your work safer and more comfortable. Let's begin. If you need to recover deleted data, view or restore removed browse in history. Hetman software products will help you. Follow the link in the description, download the necessary program for free, install it and analyze the disk. The utility will show you the data you can recover, so you will be able to view it or get it back. In our channel and blog, you will find solutions to any problem, from installing an operating system or configuring it, to fixing possible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos or articles. Wi-BAR is one of the most popular messengers, but there are not too many people around who know how to make the most of it. Well, maybe you don't actually need all those functions, but quite often some features don't get used just because people don't even know they are available. And today I'm here to tell you about some of them. In fact, there are lots of functions and developers are constantly adding more and more, so I try to select the 10 most interesting and useful features for this review. How to disable seed status in Wi-BAR? Sometimes you can view a message, but you cannot possibly answer it right now. In such cases, when you don't want to disappoint the sender. Like why he saw my message, but why he didn't care to answer? It might be better to disable showing that the message was viewed. To do it, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Send Seen Status. If you disable this setting, chat members will never receive the message status as seen. How to clean the device memory from Viber Multimedia files? If you are an active Viber user and a member of many chats, with people sending you tons of multimedia files, both photos and videos, soon such files will take up too much of your phone's memory. With Pascal Low Storage Space messages appearing here and there, to clean the memory from such files, go to Settings -> Media -> Manage Storage and tap on Clear Data. This will remove all multimedia files received over Viber. In order to keep the files you still need, you can save them to Google Photos or another cloud storage before the cleaning. How to become invisible in Viber?  You can disable showing your status as online if you go to Settings -> Privacy -> Share online status. Now nobody can see when you are online and pastor you with countless messages. How to back up and restore Viber messages after reinstalling the application or changing to a new device? Viber features a very useful option of backing up messages. You will realize it when it becomes necessary to save an important chat. In order to use this option, go to Settings -> Account -> Viber Backup. To create a copy of your chats and messages, tap Backup. The backup file will be uploaded to a cloud storage. For an Android device, it can be Google Drive. In order to recover the latest backup of all your chats and messages, tap Restore. How to hide your Viber account photo? You can hide your account photograph from other users whom you don't know. If you want to do it, open Settings -> Privacy -> Show your photo. Now your picture will be seen only by the users who are on your list of contacts. How to create hidden and password-protected chats? In Viber, secret chats use similar encryption technology as that applied to ordinary chats but with some differences. In particular, they include a self-destruct timer to remove all messages in a chat, disabled message forwarding. If the person you are chatting with or another chat member takes a screenshot, all other chat members will receive a special notification. All data is exchanged over an end-to-end encrypted channel. You can hide a secret chat or set a password for additional protection. In order to create a secret chat, find the contact you want to communicate with, tap on the chat menu and select Open Secret Chat. Now you can add more members, set a password or use other functions that I have just mentioned. How to share your geolocation in Viber? This option lets you find your friends or family when you plan to meet at some place but you can't find them. Add your coordinates and they will be able to see where you are. You can access this function by going to Chat, More, Send Location, Wait a bit and the application will determine your current account. Tap Send next to it and your family will receive it. By tapping on it, your chat members can open a map with your coordinates on it. How to send a message to many users in Viber without getting banned? Viber makes it possible to send a specific message to all of your friends and it doesn't require creating a separate group and using it for such large-scale messaging. Things are way easier. In the Chats menu, tap on the Speech bubble and select New Broadcast List. Select Contacts for the broadcast and confirm by checking the corresponding boxes. Tap your message and send it. How to mark a chat as unread or pin it to top? To have important chats always in sight, there are two options that Viber offers you. Pinning them to top and marking them as unread. To pin a chat to top, press and hold your finger on it. Select Pin to top or mark as unread. How to pin a message in a group chat? Viber has a very useful option for group administrators. You can pin any message to top so that the group sees it all the time. To pin a message, press and hold it. After that, select Pin from the Contacts menu. Remember, that location and actual wording of some menu items may differ from what I have just shown. Depending on the version of the application installed on your device. However, their functions remain the same. Of course, these are only a few features that Viber has to offer and you might know about them. So, if you feel like sharing more info, please leave a comment under this video to let everyone else know. And that is all for now. Hit the Like button and subscribe to Hetman Software channel. Thank you for watching. Good luck.


I'm Jane Doherty. I am one of the co-chairs of this group. I am very fortunate to work with two outstanding colleagues from Japan and the Netherlands, Taro Tokai and Tim Goodman from the Netherlands. The three of us worked together, putting this group together, and we could not do any of our work without our outstanding secretariat, Scott Schmidt from OUITA. So, we're very lucky to have such a good team. This group and the informal working group on data storage and event data recorders is unique in the sense that we report to both GRVA and to GRSG. We work primarily on data storage activities under GRVA for automated vehicles, but we also work on event data recorders and report directly to GRSG on our work. So, the objectives of our data storage systems and event data recorders is to identify differences between the two different systems and propose ways forward for both systems, making sure that we are encouraging innovative technologies, but also being very protective of national privacy concerns and interests at the national level on privacy. So, it is a very difficult task trying to make sure that we're providing guidance to regulators, providing assistance and guidance to manufacturers, making sure that we are trying to stay ahead of the technologies and where they're going, and making sure that we're also protecting individual privacy rights. So, those are some of our objectives. Moving to the next slide, I want to talk a little bit about what we've accomplished so far. Our group has been active since December of 2019, and we have been identifying and working at the national and regional levels, having our country and our contracting parties identify what they're working on in both event data recorders, but also data storage systems at the national, regional, and local levels, and sharing with one another best practices and our activities. We have a document that outlines what's happening at both the regional and the national levels. We keep that updated. We'll be doing another update very soon of what's happening in the respective countries, and we use our working group to share that information between us so that everyone is able to come up to speed on what the latest technologies are and what are some of the concerns that are happening. As you can imagine, there are significant differences between an event data recorder and a data storage system for an automatic vehicle. So we have put together a comparison and identification of the differences, everything from the purpose of what the system is, what the system should not do, what the recording period should be, what the system storage capabilities of the EDR versus DSAD for a level three, level four vehicle would be, the capacity to record that data during a crash, the survivability of that data after a crash, what triggers the initiation of a data storage system, the vibrations, the malfunction detections, where we store the information is also very important, what kind of data elements you're looking for in an EDR versus a data storage system. How do you retrieve that information? How do you make sure it's accessible and it's accurate, and how often are you testing it? So those are some of the differences between a DSAD and EDR that we've been looking at and guiding our work. Since we started, we have also put some data storage requirements together for the initial lane keeping system regulation that was put together, regulation 157. We see that as a very good first step, but we have a lot more work to do to make sure that we are encompassing all automated driving systems. So that was the beginning of our work. We recently, earlier this month, were able to have approval from WP 29 of a new UN regulation on event data recorders. This is the first regulation under the 1958 agreement only, and it will concern the EDRs, making sure that it's usable. The data is valuable for crash investigations and analysis, and it's looking at safety equipment performances. So it outlines four vehicles and categories M1 and M1. How you use an event data recorder, what are the minimum collection storage and crash survivability requirements in case of a crash, and how are you going to record that information? So that is the first regulation that we have put together. Again, it only applies to the 58 agreement. It is not the global requirements or the global regulations. We also adopted a series of amendments to that regulation that are transitional in nature. In other words, today, the manufacturers may not have the capability or they have not prepared their event data recorders to cover certain functions and elements, but they will transition in 2024 and 2026 to including additional elements and requirements under the amendments of the 01 series of amendments that are coming. And then the third document that we've been working on is a guidance document on EDRs that provides guidance to parties to the 58 as well as the 98 agreement on what elements should be in an EDR, what should they be looking for as far as accessibility, storage, etc. So those are the outcomes that we've had thus far. And moving on to the next slide. Talk about some of the activities that will be coming up shortly. So I mentioned to you earlier, we keep a compilation of all of what's happening at the national regional level. We also want to keep a compilation and we're going to be putting together of best practices. What are we learning not only from the contracting parties and the regulators, but what are we hearing from the industry? What are we hearing from some of the software experts? Because DSSAD has brought in a whole another set of experts and expertise into our group. It's not simply the conventional auto manufacturers there we're working with. We're working with a lot of folks from Silicon Valley and all over the world that are IT specialists and working with us and teaching us about their best practices. So we're trying to figure out the best way and what are some of the best practices that we can incorporate from the IT world into the auto world and working together. We're also looking at what are performance elements that are specific to automatic driving systems and how do we develop that in the DSSAD system. In our EDR working group, our subgroup on EDRs, we're looking at what are the performance elements that are appropriate for ADS equipped vehicles. We are looking in the future, one of the proposals for moving forward that we're looking at is are we going to look at EDRs for heavy duty vehicles. That request came from our colleagues from the commission to meet their general safety regulation mandates and we will be looking at that and working with them to move that forward. So I'm hoping to do that shortly. And also looking at what other additional data requirements should an event data recorder contain moving forward. What are the things that we need to look at? How do we store that information and how do we make sure that we are protecting those important privacy rights as well. So lots are happening in the group. It's been a pleasure to work with my colleagues and look forward to continuing our work on this and very, very important subject. And thank you all very much for your attention.


My name is Chris Schwann. I'm the new executive director of Niagara Region Native Center. I've only been appointed here for about 10 months now. So yeah, as executive director there's a number of programs that we provide to the indigenous, the urban indigenous community of this Kashmir area, Niagara on the Lake, St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Pelham, Fawn Hill, Beamsville. So we cover quite a bit of the Niagara Region with specific socioeconomic or social service type of programs for the indigenous community of the Niagara Region. Everything from cradle, well actually for everything from womb to grave really ultimately and any of those socioeconomic impacts that indigenous people face is what should be dealt with as programming through Friendship Centers in my opinion.  So you're talking about even programming for mothers.  That's education. So when that child comes to this physical world and some of those teachings in life and lessons of life and how do we come to learn about creation and the Creator and our own connectedness to Mother Earth comes initially from those initial teachings. So in regards to the actual center, there's a lot that could be spoken about what the actual Friendship Center movement is and where it's been and where it's going to and how does it include education. Currently the Niagara Regional Native Center is involved with, has an agreement with the Niagara District Catholic School Board. Now we have an agreement where the Niagara District Catholic School Board administers or runs the an indigenous school called Soran Eagles and that's from K to 8 programming and it's meant to be in a land-based programming initiative. It was more than anything a call to action under the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by the Catholic School Board to try to meet their potential obligations and their calls to action. So currently right now we have this agreement with the Catholic School Board. I would think that it could be a little stronger personally. It was a program that I as a newer ED, I you know as I moved into this position it was something that had already been established. What I found through assessment and analysis and communication is that it's not necessarily an indigenous school. It's meant to have indigenous land-based programming. It is meant to provide a culturally safe environment. It's meant to provide cultural education especially. When in fact the whole world, the realm of education for Anishinaabe and Eurocentric methodologies however I'd have to say is something that indigenous people aren't necessarily experts on. We have our own form of education that we are experts on and now that we're dealing with this Eurocentric institutional methodology you know we it's everything. Even my experiences in the 70s as a child they knew you know I went I went to a Connexus conference a couple weeks ago and one of the speakers was talking about how they actually had a big stamp and that stamp used to identify people as being retarded. And I had that stamp put upon me in the 70s in the late in the mid to late 70s and I was actually put into a special ed school. Why? Because I like to look out the window too much you know and then so looking out the window too much being a little distracted daydreaming, flighty is what they determined to me to be highly distracted you know when in fact you know yeah I just I wanted to be outside ultimately but you know when you're when you're given that type of a title and that's what I find it says that we're redefining all these new titles what is to be successful you know because I guess when I'm looking at here right now sorry and I might bounce around a little bit but my experience as being on reserve in this in a city urban indigenous person is that you know on the First Nation you know back in the day we children were bused into town from the reserve and then they had to go home so they had to take the Indian bus into town take the Indian bus home and now we have our own schools on the First Nation so the conversations within my Anishinaabe network and some of my friends within the Haudenosaunee nation is this that we have these schools now where once upon a time we had forced integration now we have self-segregating education so I've been trying to determine what are those what is a happy medium there because we had this forced integration where even our own children were you know forced to go into town go to school and then you know because they even had to ride on a different bus they wouldn't you know the non-indigenous children wouldn't become riding on that bus with indigenous children so there was always a separate bus just to the reserve so even that level of understanding and diversity doesn't occur that sharing of culture that sharing and sharing and sharing there is no sharing it's um it seems like some of our our educational institutes aren't aren't very embracing of indigenous people ultimately it is ultimately about in my opinion helping this child learn to walk in two worlds and that's really where I come to that understanding of my understanding of indigenous children and education and Soaring Eagles I guess you know I'm kind of circling around here but um that's kind of my understanding of where we are as education and indigenous people in this Eurocentric education right now Soaring Eagles doesn't necessarily provide land-based programming and what is land-based programming and how do we define that ultimately within my own cultural attachment business theory methodology that I've only created that's based on the seven teachings and what has happened to our seven teachings to where we are today to where we need to go for tomorrow you know and those seven things it's like a nice correlation it's very simple and even within my own research and we found that education is one of those components of one of those segments that has been changed upon our people and I guess what I'm getting at is is that much like I was saying this forced integration but this Eurocentric methodology of education was also based on the industrial revolution so where are we today we're supposed to be trying to now educate children to jobs that don't even exist yet in society that's really where we are like in today's technological world we don't know 20 years from now what jobs are going to be available nobody can determine that so how can you build uh how can any educational institution right now build these children of success so it is a bit of a tricky thing and then on top of that our children are then also trying to learn and function and walk in two different worlds we're all trying to maintain their their identity as indigenous people and um and and all the rights that they that they have to their language into their cultures but again that that land-based programming what I understand about our educational system is you know it's still Eurocentric right now for the industrial revolution whereas our educational system and understanding of uh educational success and everything else is where how does that help the indigenous individual maintain their indigeneity how does it encourage it um you know I I I see leaps and bounds by the local by the local district school boards of making that that call to action the nagger district or the district school board of Niagara has made extreme leaps and bounds in meeting that call to action you can see it with all the different activities and actions that they've done they have their facebook page the things that they're doing even most recently they had a drum making uh workshop for the indigenous students of of uh dspn like those type of elements are that's what we need to see um ultimately the bottom line is that the elders have said to me if the language was taken away from our children then it needs to be restored within them so ultimately that is also the next thing that I believe in when it comes to our language is an education well then our children should never much like I was I was forced to take uh a language program that was not mine I wanted my own language and I was refused and denied continuously throughout my life any lessons of my own language so constitutionally I don't know what that means so I'm looking forward to that change within my time I have grandchildren now so it will be nice to see some of that legislative change for my grandchildren um lastly I'd also have to say that you know there is a fine line of understanding this educational realm because I have a different perspective um when I was a younger man I would have quite often say this this way is white man's education and you know I was rather naive and ignorant about it you know I made those comments whereas today when I when I work with young indigenous people and I'll specifically say I volunteer with young indigenous uh young indigenous men that I often say to them now if you don't think that that's your education then tell me of your indigenous education tell me of your nishinaabe education tell me how well you can clean a fish show me how well you can clean that fish uh and get all the meat off of it you know like I I watch my cousins and cousins process and you know I'll help them process thousands of pounds of fish and I'm not even the cutter I'm just what we call the the I take the bones out of the filets and I take the skin off the filets so I'm just the boner in the skinner whereas I'm not even the cutter and um because that's a very special skill set and so I think of I think of that you know show me how you take the cheeks off that fish you know what are you going to do with the bones how much of that are you wasting um show me how you make a stick bow you know like let me show show me how to make up what are you going to use for seeing you for that bow string what tree do you use to make the bow out of what are you going to use for for arrows arrow shafts how are you going to put feathers on that arrow you know how many you're going to put feathers on that arrow how are you going to nap and go find that flint and then nap that arrow head as it is you know and then once you make your bow and your arrow you got to know how to hunt and you got to be able to bow hunt that deer that deer who is most elusive to humans for hunting it's it's all as much as humans have evolved to hunt deer deer have evolved to be elusive from humans their ears work independently they work like satellite dishes their eyes are also very independently they can pretty much look behind their head while looking forward at the same time they have more sensory glands in their bodies than what humans could ever have them to have but then on top of that their speed of course their agility um so the point is is a bow hunter also has to be within anywhere from 30 to 35 yards to be 100 accurate so education wise you know what's how do you smell that deer how do you track that deer how do you how do you age that deer just based on whether or not the size of its foot of its hoof print can you tell if it's male or female obviously you can tell which direction it's going you know gauging its its its poop picking up its poop and determining how old is this poop how long has it been since this deer has been passed here in the shnaabe education again so this fish processing this this deer processing because again this bow making right this arrow making all the way to the hunt and then processing that deer so what is that education that education is very important you know and how important isn't that indigenous education is is everything because then even as tecumseh has said you know you know we are very weak as one individual arrow but as a bundle of arrows we are we are strong and we are mighty so again you know it has many different ties and and i find that more and more of our indigenous ways are not being taught within schools and we have to take extra time and and and learnings into our adulthood when we shouldn't have to to learn the lessons of what children are to be taught and sometimes we have to go to our elders or to our spiritual people like the minna wewanak who help us with those spiritual journeys as well those are those ones who we go to for those teachings and then we have our hunters and our fishers and we have those community members those politicians and our people have been doing this for thousands of years it's shouldn't be anything new but it is new today it's life it's life everything yeah that would be my definition i wish i could say that an anishinabek mine still but what is indigenous education indigenous education is uh it's life it's everything about life life is your education every day you're learning you should be learning something out of every conversation you should learn something you're not there to to talk to you god gave us two years one mouth so if the if jimna do give us you know we're supposed to listen twice as much as we're supposed to talk i mean that's a common statement from around the world but you know it was something that i i know i believe that our elders have spoke about too you know it's it's really tough for canada and their educators and the regions and everything to develop how should we what language should we provide in this school i know growing up in the niger region it was very tough for them to decide because they don't know you know there is a large population of hodnoshoni in in the niger region there's a large population of anishinaabe as well as i've come to learn mikman especially a large population of matine nation in uh in the niger region so i guess is more specific you know it's one thing if you can you know an educational model on reserve is is different than it would be in a urban setting so it would be totally different because the anishinaabe nation has moved ahead with it's with its initiative and and having our own genoa gaolans to have our own educational educational system the anishinaabe education system right so in some senses i like that because as anishinaabe we were people who wrote ojibili and um so that only tells us that we've been good at being writing and we've had that consistency our seventh fire is always based on our prophecies and how we could write and we wrote down our our ceremonies we wrote we wrote we wrote to ensure continuity other nations didn't weren't arriving people um but having said that you know be you know so when i think of when i think of that i i think of where we are as people seven generations back in seven generations yet to come anyways um so when i when i think of those potential so how education can be you know we 100 education could be a lot different than what it is on reserve right now because a lot of it is you're still doing those mandatory provincial programings provincial testings um that don't apply to introduced children you get into this you know but at the same time something needs to be something that helps so those who are coming off reserve and and transition into the city what is going to be there what is that life going to be like for them right i i you know i think of the different stories of those who part of the early urban migration in the sixties the urban migration that loosely started in the early fifties but was hard in the late sixties especially in ontario you know like if that you know if people were to migrate again to the sixties and they didn't have that you know i i i know of many friends who don't have um perhaps the interview skills the communication skills to land a job that i would apply to but if they apply to a job that they're fit for such as working on cars or building a home i know that they would show up to work ready for that indigenous education really needs to in my opinion it needs to get a little firmer it needs to understand that there is a growing element of entitlement and enablement within our society there are many distracting devices of the world you know it's bad enough that are in some of our families behind closed doors that mom and dad are highly distracted let alone the little ones that that they have been given by a creator so in in some senses you know i always say you know i found myself in a meeting not too long ago in an education meeting but in regarding one of our students at soaring eagles and i was visiting with mom mom the mom was in the meeting and i'm remembering back to a far side comic in the newspaper where it shows a picture of um of um two parents with their child sitting in front of them it's a comic and and the principal sitting at the desk and they're they're showing a a note with an f on it like for fail and then you can see that the parents no sorry the comic is different the parents are standing with the the principal looking at the child shaking the finger for giving the for getting a fail and then beside that same comic they show the difference of today and the difference of today would be that it's the parents standing behind the child holding the f giving the parent the principal the naughty finger it's not the school's fault i guess is what i'm saying and at the same time when i also talk about these socio-economic issues as well as our determinants of health um the keys to whatever level of success you know like how do we define that and you know indigenous education you know if we're going to be ones and partners you know regardless you know we're here canada's here canada's is established within our territory and we we it's only beneficial to us that we learn to maintain those skill sets of our families cleaning fish and hunting and ceremony like within the dynamics of my family i'm very fortunate that even my ceremonial leaders those mid-away when i'm better in my family they're still professionals you know they're still educated educated professionals now that didn't come without a lot of scrapes bumps and bruises and in some essence that's what comes with making it through this system that it wasn't easy being that two-world walker you have to you're going to come out of it with thicker skin you're going to come out of it bumped and bruised because you're going to have to be faced with racism and discrimination if you're going to be part of a mainstream educational system that's what that comes with a child needs to be gifted some of the lessons of life of perseverance and dedication and commitment and resilience you know to have that strength you know they have to have somebody walk beside them because there's a niche naabe you know that was a naabida that looking in all directions we we're very mindful i think in some aspects that we've kind of forgotten some of those elements you know it's a it is it's a society of convenience today you know it's it's whether or not it's convenient for me to go somewhere has it convenient me to do this is it convenient for me to do that to be here to be a part of this to be a part of that if it's not convenient then it's not convenient we've been still due to our intergenerational issues through canada's assimilation policies and practices we've also become the leaders of developing new excuses as well as those distorted cognitions and when i mentioned that before what i'm referring to is that um some of our people have redefined dysfunctional behavior and what is okay is that's okay you know we can bingeing that's okay no it's not you know um as your children get early that or as your when your children are younger that it's that you don't do certain activities around them whether it be partaking in alcoholic beverages or not as they get older you start to drink in front of them when did that become okay so i'm just and i'm not that's not a judgmental situation because i'm just making a statement about that as an example like you know i see in some families where you know the mom and dad won't touch anything they won't even have a little sip of beer and a glass until you know the children are in bed so nobody sees anything about mom and dad are doing as the children get older so maybe they're six years old now and they're a little more self-sufficient right these children that they can you don't have to help them with everything that mom and dad start to say okay i can relax a little earlier in my evening and in my experiences do i see where mom and dad would even break out as children get a little older and so when the child gets 12 years and older then how does that dynamic change again and then it changes again as they get as the child gets older through my own experiences which i won't really dive into but i've i've seen and maybe in a different context or a different atmosphere or environment might i share some very unique stories of my family on the reserves what it was like because like i said my families are too my mom and dad are two ends of the spectrum right so i know exactly every dynamic of our people's communities good bad and indifferent whether it be christian or not christian christian or ceremonial christian or like um very well um spiritual and don't do bad things to my father being the main boot beggar in his community you know what is so the differences of life what i've seen for our people highly dynamic and then what has that been for me growing up in poverty growing up in low-income areas and high violence and things like that and seeing other indigenous families in that same environment and why is that you know so the relationship between education and poverty is very high and i don't know how do we you know if that's the case you know there's also that level of financial literacy you know we that that indigenous people you know these this this concept of frog skins and and um how they apply today and how do we use them and how where do we use them how do we spend them and there's eligibility criteria and again this is us without that self-determination because we have to abide by canada's rules i am a shkabai with anishinaabe shkabai with anishinaabe you'll get you talk about my disillusioned shkabai with meaning that i am uh i try to well when i try to utilize my language when i'm where i can um it might not be right but i try um but you know i try to to live by that life um and being a helper that shkabai was you know i'm a helper i knowledge keepers is a new term and it doesn't apply to the anishinaabe nation because it's either your shkabai was i don't know knowledge keepers and you know and then i've seen how knowledge keeper has been well it's been elder backslash knowledge keeper i don't know how that works because our elders there isn't really i don't i don't even know if there's a word for elders i can't remember if there is other than like old people but like um but even those who are appointed as elders by community don't call themselves elders so i don't understand again like you know whereas i've had other other older people from other nations come up to me and say look at my name tag and even says elder underneath it i was like wow never seen that before and i'm like especially because the family i come from perhaps the communities i come from the nation i come from i'm not and i don't know what this gentleman's nation was i know he was from west somewhere in the states as well as from the states the other way too the point is is that i'm coming to learn what this knowledge keeper title is but when i i look at this because this is also some of these questions are talking about the revitalization of this the revitalization of that and why are we developing new terms why are we creating new terms to something that already exists that sounds very Eurocentric very Canadian to me um to those who created those terms should look to their own language to utilize their own language first um every time we i now that i'm here i when i hear of the leaders that i try to empower and stoke their internal fire motivation and self inspiration so these new programs i'm always saying that when we develop these new programs that it should be in our language and because we're in a multi and a diverse region then we give it the languages that are predominant to the region and that only encourages people to utilize their language the cultural connection and attachment theory boom right there there always has to be a cultural attachment theory to everything and even working with some of our leaders today when i mentioned those terms they don't understand what a cultural attachment theory is when i mentioned that i've developed my own cultural attachment theory and methodology based on our seven teachings there is the people can't understand that so it is you know so getting back to where i was going is about you know um the seventh fire teach has taught me and my family and my elders have taught me that you know there is going to come a time when our people are going to lose their ways and then you know very short form there's going to come a time where there's going to be these new people and we have to be mindful of them because they won't have all their teachings and it's been up you know one of the things that i've been taught is that i may have to go to more than one elder to gather a full teaching because if our elders have gotten partial teachings then i have to go as that seventh fire generation i have to go to many different elders to ensure that i get one solid teaching i can't just ask one elder what i appreciate about anishinaabe elders too is that they really make you think to use your brain right um they don't give you the answers to a question they give you things to contemplate for you to make your own decision based on your life experiences and or education you know it's never something like uh hey how do i do this well how do you think you need to do it you know it's or what do you think would be the best way you know it's always about more thought more thought highly more analytical thought and i find that that's only become a strength for for many a many a people um you know a knowledge holder a knowledge keeper having said that they do hold a position with other nations and it's a respectful position but again i i still say you the those nations that are developed this term now i've been told you know i don't mean to be talking around it but i've been told that the Haudenosaunee used this term um and Anishinaabe are starting to utilize it as well i've only come to learn this past week um that i've seen somebody actually write it that was Anishinaabe a blended family but the the person carries Anishinaabe name so but at the same time i've come to understand exactly the importance of this position but to put them as a backslash elder you know that's that's a little concerning to me that's a little concerning to me because again that's that's this english and you're trying to equilibrate it to indigenous people i i don't that transliteration is is inaccurate anytime you transliterate anything it's going to lose accuracy it's going to lose sustenance right um so that's what i'd have to say about you know i raised my children my grandchildren with our teachings and storytelling you know like i find that there are there are resources to raise our children with those teachings with like nanobush nanojou right but at the same time this is a very peculiar teaching i'll provide that was something that was given to me that um we're from you know some would say a couple different ways we are the keepers of the thunderbird eggs and um i guess this is a nice little educational thing like this is a kettle this is a kettle a thunderbird egg a small those grow they grow in the water we you know i've been known to take little ones out in the water and show them where the little where the the the kettles start to grow and then they move and then they grow in bigger than cars in the water they bust out of the shale and everything else now in english they would say that you know this is due to the water you know scientists of academia would say you know due to the rising levels the rising and lowering levels of the water and the sedimentations in the water this is how these these concretions appear to grow fair enough so i had this conversation with a scientist once and i said okay in our language we say gitchi manitou and what i've been taught by that term is is that it it doesn't just mean great spirit right our language is a little diverse it holds spirit it's alive um and this comes from um my aunt who is a language speaker and um she would you know she would she she taught me that our language is alive it's spirituals and now it's not cold you know like like almost you know i don't mean to make it sound like english is cold but it it can be almost clinical in a sense i guess in that sense right can be very too precise very cold but so anyways gitchi manitou means yeah it means great spirit it also means great mystery great wonder great i don't know why phenomena it means holy smokes what's that it means a lot of different things it just doesn't mean just that one particular thing right so when i was talking with this scientist and he told me his explanation as to why these concretions grow i said oh okay so trees they provide ox yeah photosynthesis right well it's a big word that's education right there grade 10 science photosynthesis where's that grade nine i can't remember either way point is that was a number years ago and um what's photosynthesis you know the that greenery in the leaves the intake of carbon monoxide and monoxide monoxide yeah turning it into oxygen and emitting that oxygen right now so this scientist sorry i'm going off here from that end of the day so anyways the scientist says i said so the fact you know these these rocks they grow these are growing rocks sedimentations gotcha well the fact that it only happens in one place of the world it's kind of neat it's kind of neat it's kind of just a need oh thing yeah it's kind of a neat thing i think he realized where i was going with this by that point in time i go so it only happens here in kettle point and um you know they literally do kind of bust out of the ground which has nothing to do with the sedimentations of the water going up and down um that happens way out in the water as well as it happens in close to shore the big ones are way out in the water and the little ones are close to shore um and there's big ones in in close to shore too that are inside the shale busting out of the shale and then when the water is out in the lake and that my my one cousin has taught me that it goes in within sessions within years every seven to ten years the water goes out comes back in so you can sometimes when the water is out you can walk out and you can see where these giant kettles are busting out of the shale long point is as i said to this scientist i go wouldn't you think that that is rather remarkable you say yeah that is kind of remarkable that only happens here it only happens one place in the world and it's rather unique perfect so that's a bit of a phenomenon wouldn't you say yeah it is thank you then it's a great mystery it's a kitschy manner to it but understanding those components even knowing that to have that comfortability as well to have that conversation with somebody that confidence of the different things that i've even learned through life you know and that came through just experiences life in general that had nothing to do with academia that was indigenous education that i went to him with indigenous education you know it's kind of like the thing now that it's become a fad to do land acknowledgments but the true spirit of land acknowledgments is understanding that this land is alive and we need to acknowledge that's the true spirit of an island acknowledgement you know what is what about it has been alive and how have we as indigenous people in the different areas of where we're going to do this land acknowledgement or say this land acknowledgement how are we truly capturing the spirit of mother earth in that specific section that's in this education understanding you know this i guess i don't know how it's to say this this nipki zi bijao in a thundering river of the south you know when you think of where it starts in lake ontario it's nice and soft and calm and it works its way towards niger river and it plunges over it picks up speed and then it plunges over the cliff and it goes and it creates cut itself into the ground by creating that gorge and as it flows down it's got all kinds of rapids and reoxygenates itself and then flows back and it comes to another calm level and flows back out into lake ontario let alone do we say that this is this is the veins the blood of mother earth but yet that is how she also reoxygenates herself too and reoxygenates her blood so at the same time you know our people wouldn't you know if they're you're knowing that are you kidding me that they didn't know that that was there they would have been wondering you know if there were thousands of miles away they would have been able to see that all that smoke all this mist going up in the air they would have said what's going on over there and then they would have walked over here this isn't a new place for our people i forget how to say the name and the nishinab and what i really do i was trying to think about the other day but um it has its own name in all languages for its place it was a sacred area we looked at these places as sacred places of prayer there are a phenomena there are gichi manatu right so they were again that's that same thing so our teachings and everything are you know knowing that first man and weina bajou was through here weina bajou came by here visited here and you know um yeah knowing that these stories and and when i think of some of these other questions the stories of children and grandchildren and what have i told and understanding even the stories of how would why do bees fly in a flock you know it's because nano bush tied all their feet together even that right because and that's a short that's very short because really he went trying he got it was it's a teaching of greed though too right he went in and tried to he got one of them and pulled them underwater and he took the one back to shore and he ate it he was wanted some more so he went and swam under and grabbed some more geese and and went back to shore and ate them he really liked that so he went back again the next day he thought he'd grab a whole bunch and he thought he'd be smart about it and tie their feet together once they realized that what he was going to do is that the geese started oh my god we're struggling he's pulling us all under the water he's going to take us all and eat us all and we need to work together and then they literally started to fly up together and even lifted nano bush into the air and then that even comes I've even used that teaching in a modern context today of how do you utilize that teaching in terms of a corporate teamwork environment I've turned that teaching into a corporate teaching on teamwork where what does it mean when you know you fly together what is honking about you know why do geese honk and it's about encouraging each other um that when one geese goes down another one goes down with it because it is sick or it's is injured or something is wrong with it like one goose does not go down by itself usually two will go down with it so that way it's not by itself and then if something were to happen to that goose like if it were to perish then the other two would just take off and join another flock or catch up to its own flock here in our NC I would like to see an indigenous school that's what I'd like to see within the next 10 years an indigenous school that provides um land-based programming meaning that literally that the children learn how to make these bows that they learn how to fish and clean a fish um that they also learn how to make a madodo swan a sweat lodge um that they learn their language that they learn their spirituality because they're one of the same if you learn your language and you're learning you're supposed to be able to learn your spirituality I know that might be a little counterproductive for those indigenous people that are that prescribe to a different religion but in essence what they have yet to learn is that we're you know that spiritual journey is we all go to the same place period that's the way I look at it it's it's something that's very dear to my heart you know I've got you know because especially once you become a parent and then you become a grandparent then you really start to look at that different loss perspective of life so I do look at it now differently than I even did as a father as a macho amus I look at it even totally different now in terms of what is education going to look like for my grandchildren my grandchildren's grandchildren I might even be able to see some of them who knows so or my grandchildren's children I would like to see the day when when our people are walking and speaking their language fluently you know almost like how the French will speak French in front of you and not disclose what they're speaking about our people have always done that though and it's not to be decisive but to have that level of pride though too that's more what I'm talking about sometimes my bitterness of what has happened to my families comes out and I need to remember to demogon adult you know I need to let that go when I see that can that indigenous people are are meaning are at the same level of stratification within Canadian society and that we have a level of privilege that we can give to our children that a lot of people across the lake can provide to their children that in 10 years that we also develop a strategy that that's inclusive for not just the children but for the struggling adults the moms and dads that are still dealing with the trauma to date that maybe tomorrow they reach back for their education statistically I my part of my own research was is that sometimes these young families these young moms and dads they'll start their families early they'll leave school and once they're done building their family they'll then return to school to finish off their their grade 12 and reach back for their grade 12 so sometimes it could be even in I think part of my research showed that one mom reached back when she was 27 one mom reached back she was 30s up to even 43 you know and now we're starting to see a new program developed under the Friendship Centers called Homeward Bound which is actually working with victimized women and their children um whether and and and well it's mostly homelessness initiative as well so homeless homeless mothers with their children that may be dealing with even justice issues so it's literally taking that mother and their children and finding them where they are helping them re-establish themselves and that could be housing first education um getting it's about getting them back on their feet and empowering them so that they can get themselves into their own home you know I know I won't speak about the Anishinaabe clan from yesteryear you know because the the challenges that Anishinaabe clan faced today are a lot different than they were yesteryear you know um but having said that yeah education I would have definitely have to see where you know I like to see more language apps you know for people to have their language available and learn again it's the fluency our ceremonies you know everybody should be able to access their ceremonies no matter where they are or they're being in the Niagara region here or it be uh shisha I don't know can-am and Windsor you know everybody should be able to in an urban setting even downtown Toronto should be able to access their traditional teachings and ceremonies right there um because if if we've established ourselves over the last like I've heard that there are five generations deep in the cities now so if we're that deep into the cities then why aren't we providing that as as a means for our people that's what I have to say about that and when it comes to our education that we are in control of our education that we have more and more educators that are of help you know that that that they've dealt with their their intergenerational transgenerational trauma that they've dealt with everything that they've moved on the mug and adult that they've let that go um you know there's a there's there's so many different levels of achievement or definitions of success that uh indigenous people have yet to define do I think that it's necessarily through Eurocentric educational uh means no I don't never have I I feel that indigenous people have their ability to say that we don't necessarily need it always but if you do want to go into a specific profession or area then you are going to need this academic requirement if you're going to become this or become that like a carpenter or electrician a teacher or lawyer there are certain aspects and capacities and criteria there's certain um verbiage and language you know so much that needs to be learned with those professions that you know it's it's not just saying you know yeah you can be a fisherman you don't need a grade 12 to be a fisherman kind of thing you know or a hunter my only problem with that is is that I do know of a hunter that if he is suffering here she is suffering from addictions or whatever that we we need to gauge there's got to be something a give and take there too because as much as we can promote our community members to say yeah you don't need a grade 12 to be a community member you know because you have to be part of community um that's that indigenous way you're going to be part of a community you got to help with community you know and we'll get back there as as indigenous people our communities will get stronger and stronger I already know of this but we need to move away from those dysfunctional behaviors those distractions of life because I know of this one hunter he he's feeding his addiction and and he he rolled over over a hundred deer one year and didn't provide one piece of meat to the elders of his community that is where I say that again you know as much as I say that education is good and good for Anishinaabe in that sense for those professional jobs that they want to go that way well if you're also not going to do that then you need to help the elders is kind of what I'm saying you know if you're going to subscribe to that Anishinaabe you'll get your first priority is to feed protect and provide for the weak and the meek and those who cannot defend themselves or or take care of themselves there are many old people in our communities who don't have hunters and fishers or healthy men or women in their families to help take care of the statue on the front so we need that to if you're not going to go this way and you're going to live this this other old Anishinaabe way with those beautiful traits of the world embracing all the resources the Creator God Creator God Allah however you want to refer has given us you know it's the ceiling of our church is the sky we can't even say that the sky is a limit because that's putting a limit on something you know all I have to say is that within the Creator's infinite powers and wisdom do we really think that we're only limited to one way of thinking one way of being one way of this or one way of that the medicine will teaches us that these four sacred ways of walking and living praying and believing are all equal they're supposed to be equal not one is better than the other it's all equal pieces of the pie and one you know it isn't three colors it isn't one color it is four colors it's four directions it is four seasons it is four medicines it's four four four many different things so yeah there is lots I would say that needs to you know I know that those old ones would even be need to be consulted about that what do they see the elders always need to be asked these same questions you know that's what I'd also have to say about all of this that it's one thing to ask community members community people that are in different positions but our teachings even tell us that that doesn't necessarily mean that that person knows their people that that person knows their ways that that person knows their teachings I don't know all my teachings I'm still learning I'll always be learning but I don't profess to say that I know them all I'm still an infant I guess in some senses when it comes to our teachings and our language and but I think I'm maybe not so much an infant maybe I'm a I'm an adolescent or a teenager in some respects so there we all come at it and differently


So one of the things we're trying to do in this course is give a realistic idea about how the mind is actually working. So we can take that and use it to improve our ability. The world is extremely complex and extremely ambiguous, right? So most of the decisions that we're making aren't immediately apparent. There is a lot of mental life that is completely effortless and then there is some of mental life that feels like work. We're operating under less than ideal conditions and so we have to rely on shortcuts in order to be able to navigate the world, obviously. The world is complex and ambiguous. There's so much information coming at us, sometimes misinformation. How do we deal with it all? So merely telling people how to do something is not going to turn them into experts and repeatedly telling them the same thing is not going to help. There's a lot of practice with feedback.


hey guys it's juliette and welcome back to my channel and for today's video i'm going to be bringing you guys my october wrap-up what's up here i have ramona blue by julie murphy so this is about a girl named ramona who lives in mississippi and she's a lot going on in her personal life right now she feels very certain of who she is um she lives in a trailer with her father and her sister and her sister's pregnant and then along with ramona she has um bright blue hair long bright blue hair and she's identified as a lesbian for a long a little while now when she meets a guy she kind of starts to doubt who she is again and just with all the other complications going on in her life this just becomes a lot for her so yeah that's what this plot is about julie murphy i think last month or the month before and i like got it signed and everything so i'm so happy i got it signed because i hadn't read it when i went but now that i've read it i love it so much and something that people don't know about this is this actually deals with her kankrich her kankrich katrina why can't i say that i loved this so much i gave this a 4.5 out of 5 stars i loved it so much i thought it was amazing the characters and the writing were amazing like i didn't want to stop reading it i didn't want it to end um and that's always a good sign it literally crushed some gender roles there's a representation for a person of color and for a bisexual wrap in this book as well so that was just really nice to see i can't speak on those two things like i can't speak on them um but from my knowledge like she's educated plus she is a she is a bisexual author so this is her own voices for her in that in that specific category so yeah um i love this a lot i would highly recommend it except here i read a poetry collection and i read bone by yoursa dally ward this is a super set of works i kept seeing it everywhere it has very high good reads ratings and i thought it's gonna be really good and the back says you will come away bruised you will come away bruised but this will give you poetry so it's like okay cool i'll buy it i'll read it i didn't like it unfortunately um so basically i only liked a few poems in this which not a good sign i didn't like the writing parts dragged there was just so many things that were just overly described like pages of poems like i remember these poems are pretty like stretched out to sometimes and i just couldn't get into it at all or also i want to mention this i don't it didn't have to do anything with my rating but there is a religious element which i thought people would want to know about so that's in there um so yeah i gave this two stars and i thought i'd love it so that's pretty sad next up here i have the sun and her flowers by ruby core which this book i thought i would hate and i loved it um my opinion on milk and honey if you haven't heard i gave it like a okay rating it wasn't my favorite and especially from all the poetry i've read now i still don't love that milk and honey that much and i know some people love it and i'm glad you loved it don't get me wrong but um i want to pick up her new book because i love poetry so whatever i can get my hands on i'll read it typically and this was so amazing like i was so impressed from like this dealt with so many important issues dealt with heartbreak to rape to immigration to police brutality it talked about a lot of important topics it just loved the overall message and i thought it was just so well written and well talked about so yes i gave this a solid four point two five out of five stars and i would definitely suggest it and if you didn't like milk and honey i think you will quite enjoy this one we're gonna undo my jacket because like i'm warm and i still have my runes on because they refuse to come off in the shower so i don't feel like scrubbing them so they're there next up here i have the godfather by mario puzo this book is a mafia adult book and it is about this guy who is the don his name is vito coreleen core line literally everyone told me pronunciation but i got like 20 different pronunciations and i was like oh my god so corleone i tried sorry this basically is about it deals with it's just so complicated i'm talking so much about it i made a whole entire book review so i'll link that up on the screen but i loved it a lot it was great and i gave it four stars then i read so disappointing so i read wrote a riverdale which i think people kind of pissed off that i didn't like this one because on one of the videos that talked about it it got a lot more dislikes than my usual videos so i i think this is why um basically this is a what it says it's a riverdale comic if you haven't watched the show you should it's good show um but i read the first and the second volume of these because they had a sale on them so i bought them and i didn't like them i think i'm not trying to bash like the original archie comics guys i'm bashing these because i think like i wasn't i don't know okay not the point writing not the writing the art in this one is absolutely beautiful like a plus like great but the story lacked it was jumpy it was cringe worthy it's this dog narrative with i love animals like don't even try to tell me like that i don't love animals but this was so juvenile that this whole thing was narrated by this little dog and i'm like like it wasn't cute like just leave and then in the second one the art lacked and i believe the first one it was either the first one or the second one that had uh few one staples illustrating which i love those parts because she's a great illustrator she illustrated saga um but they were just boring like i didn't care and it was really disappointing i gave them both two stars they probably deserve less but then i read some good things so i read denman wonderland seven through ten this is a great series it's about a boy named ganta who goes to a prison after his whole class is murdered and he's the only one that lives who they automatically assume he were the killer you're the only kid here and yeah i sent him to the dead man wonderland prison which is a amusement park kind of looking prison it looks really weird um but people go to watch entertainment from the prisoners so they play games that ended death and everyone just watches and chills and it's like cool let's kill them i don't know uh but these are amazing i love this series so much i just recently got 11 through 13 which are the last ones and then i have to wait like each year for them to be released which is so sad but these were amazing i love them um it was 3.75 4 4 and 4.25 so these are great i'd have they recommend this series especially if you want to get into manga up here i read slasher girls and monster boys edited by jenny b tuchoke basically a big y a anthology full of horror short stories that all range from different topics from like paranormal to murder to this to that it's just surprising to me like for some reason i didn't think it'd be that creepy because it was y a now that why your books aren't creepy but i just didn't think it'd be like horror like so scary because i don't know adult doesn't scare me so i'm like why you can't scare me which this didn't book didn't scare me but there was some solid stories in here that i was really happy with it's for kary ryan's um megan shepherds christof and mary lou they were fantastic one of the stories i think it was kary ryan's was about alice in wonderland and i still think about it like it was so interesting to me so definitely pick this up it was a lot of fun and i think certain stories in here are fabulous some are not so great but a lot of them i was just generally surprised at the whole collection i was like these are pretty darn good so i ended up overall giving this a 3.5 just that's just what my average came out to be but i would suggest it if you're interested for like a spooky kind of read last but not least so we have none of bad notes so this is another one that people might be upset about but whatever um the dreadful tale of prosperity by alexandra brocken i didn't like it at all i ended up dnfing it 75 percent of the way through which guys i read 75 percent like don't don't come at me um but i gave this one star i thought it was disappointing i thought it was juvenile i thought the story was going nowhere like literally the first few chapters i knew like i hope this gets better because it's not going to be good writing if it doesn't which it did it like i know the ending was starting to pick up but i couldn't care less about these characters about this plot there barely was a plot to me like a lot of it was just there like i'm like i don't care um so yeah i wouldn't suggest it i don't know how like a middle grade i don't know how like a kid could pay attention to this because i was bored i was bored and i pretty i have a pretty good intentions of n2 and with reading i'm pretty patient but this bored me so much nothing was happening it was just underwhelming so yeah i wouldn't recommend it i gave it one star and i dnf'd it 75 percent of the way through but i guess it just wasn't for me i don't know but my thoughts on the books that i read this month i know with some of them i didn't like them so please don't be like oh my god you hate my favorite book on subscribe blah blah blah like dude suck it up people had different opinions dude girl whatever i just say dude like off of uh instinct but like come on everyone had different opinions so keep that in mind um but that was my cover wrap up thank you guys so much for watching let's see you very soon in the new video bye


Frank, we've obviously seen Delhi further forward in a striking role to see him as a solution, potentially with Dominic Bianosa. Yeah, potentially. I think he's made his name as a second striker, in my opinion, of Harry Kane. Some great years have taught him with that. He's maybe moved back generally as the years went on, generally to become more of a number eight, or slightly more of a structured midfield player. So I think when you look at our squad at this moment, yeah, with the areas where we're looking and saying, have we got solutions, he's certainly in the running for a solution for that. How much does that change what you're looking to do on the pitch tactically? Let's say, for example, replacing hypothetically Delhi and Dominic? Yeah, I think there are different sides to it. There's the side of, do you have an aerial threat so much that Dominic naturally brings you no?  No, do you have a player that can maybe drop between the lines a little bit more? Because naturally they're a midfield player, yes. So can that help you in terms of getting numbers in midfield to help you get possession without trying to take away your threat that's in the box? So I think there's a balance to that. And that's something certainly as coaching staff, if we're going to change in the way we play, whether it's false or a choice, I think it's something that applies, and it's the information of what the good things are that come with that change.
