Aloha and welcome to Cooper Union. What's happening with human rights around the world? And we're reporting live from COP26 in Glasgow, Scotland. We're focusing today on climate vulnerable nations demanding justice and the coalition that's insisting on 1.5 to stay alive. It's an honor to have special envoy with us here today. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. Thank you very much. Could you share with us some of the priorities of the climate vulnerable forum? I know with this climate vulnerable forum, it's a forum of 55 countries. The encouraging information is on the very first day of this COP26, we were 48. On the first day, seven new countries joined this climate vulnerable forum. So now we are 55. Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Shekhar Sinha, she is the president of this CVF. And it's a 10 year or four, two years. This climate vulnerable forum, you know, from its name means that we all are vulnerable for the climate. So how we are going to utilize this COP26 for the benefit of the vulnerable countries. You see, before joining this COP, this 48 countries, they're very serious. Last about six months, we had the regional meetings, four regional meetings we had. That is the Latin American region, Africa and Middle East region, Pacific region and also Asia. We discussed with all these 48 countries, what is their demand, what they asked for this COP26. So we prepared a document which is called DACA Glasgow declaration. So this document consists of the rather you can say the issues of climate vulnerable forum countries, what they want to achieve from this COP26. I will mention very briefly, later on, if necessary, I can put in detail also that the first one is the 1.5 degree. From last 2020, September, on Prime Minister Shekhar Sinha as the CVF chair, she called on all the countries to have their enhanced NDC, because you know, last year, 30th December was the last day for declaration of enhanced NDC. But unfortunately, we find that these NDC enhancement was not very satisfactory. And this year, in August, we find the IPCC report that shows much more devastating facts. So it made the CVF country much more curious, much more demanding outcome from the COP26. So number one demand is 1.5 degree. So the developed country, especially because they are the most emitting country, they need to commit in such a way that the globe sees 1.5 degree. You see, with this 1.2 degree at present, how vulnerable the globe is. This year, the Germans club, the Canadian heat waves, and also forest wildfires, in Siberia also, we see the smokes. So this is taking the globe towards a unreturnable position. So now this 1.5 degree, the second point we were telling that each year, we need to have the opportunity to declare the enhanced commitment. What is that? In COP26 agreement, we thought that, okay, in each five years, all the country will have their enhanced NDC. But seeing the devastating fact of which has been unveiled by the IPCC report, now, we thought that now time is very less, we need to act very quickly. If we have opportunity to enhance declaration in 2025, that will be too late for 2030. So now we raise the demand that each year there should be a platform that each of the country, and especially the emitting country, they can have their declaration. Maybe that will not be possible for the complete NDC, but in any form of commitment, it may be commitment of enhanced finance, maybe commitment of reducing the carbon, reducing the ammonia and all this. The third point we are telling that is the 500 billion dollar. So why 500? Earlier, it was decided that 100 billion per year by 2020. We all know, unfortunately, the developed country, those who were supposed to accumulate this fund, 100 billion dollar, they failed. They failed to do it. Maximum, it was 80 billion. So in 2020, they failed in 2021 also, they are failing. So now we are asking the developed country, okay, 21, 23, 24, you need to commit more so that you can mend this 500 billion dollar. Along with this, the issue of the accessibility towards funds, some of the developing country, they cannot access funds. The green climate fund and other funds, those who had the green funds, but unfortunately, the system is so cumbersome, some of the country, they have no capacity. And we are demanding that the system should be much more easy so that they can have the access. Same time, the demand for adaptation, we all know the developing country, they need much more fund on adaptation rather than the mitigation. So we demanded that 50, 50, 50 percent for the adaptation, 50 percent for mitigation. Alongside, our demand continues with the loss and damage. Some years ago, network for loss and damage, that should be a better dividend for these vulnerable countries. So with these issues, we are in the cop with this DACA glass body clarification. So far, what would you say are some of the highlights that you've seen in the first week and then leading up to these final 48 hours? Normally, it happens that last 48 hours is the most important time, the last 24 hours. So we are in the last leg. So far, I was discussing with some of our senior colleagues, they were telling, so far, the result is not satisfactory. So far, the big achievements we did not find, but they are not hopeless. We are not also hopeless. We think that, yes, much more achievement could be from this cop because this cop is a special type of cop. It is happening after two years and it is happening in the midst of the COVID. So the expectation is different. Special commitment for 100 billion, 500 billion, we did not find so many enthusiasm in this, but we need to be realistic because the developed country, the multilateral development banks and the relations are bilateral. So these grooms in this cop and delivery comes later on. So some people, if they think that at the end of the cop, we will fill our bags with money and go back to home, that is an impossible proposition. So we put our demand, we put the justification and I believe this time, after the US returning back in Paris Agreement, they created so many enthusiasm and yesterday, joint declaration of China and the USA, it made further enthusiasm among all the developed countries. And some developed countries, they committed small funds for adaptation, small funds for different activities and these are also giving synergy effect, I understand. So I think this cop next 24 hours will deliver much more and at the end, obviously, we will be back with rather good experience looking forward for further better in future. Excellent. When we look at the last 24 hours that's coming up and you look at what's happened, how close are we to the 1.5? I know Secretary General Guterres sent back the NDCs and asked people to revise them. Do you think we're getting close to 1.5 or how do you think that will show up in the next 48 hours? No, still not, still not. But again, I'm telling that I'm optimistic, optimistic in this sense because the IPCC report has been discussed in different side events in this COP also. And I understand the countries, those who emit more, they will come to their sense, they will understand that how much carbon they emit and what devastation is being happening and going to happen. This will bring them in sense and as because this is not the platform to have their enhanced NDC. I understand that any time, as per the very segment, any time a country can have their enhanced declaration, we strongly believe, especially the CDF country, we strongly believe that the developed country, they will come back very soon with their enhanced declaration. Excellent. And do you think we were able to rebuild confidence in international climate cooperation and accelerated adaptation? And how has the climate emergency pact been developing so far with the push by the Climate Vulnerable Forum? You have rightly identified the issue. This is the place where we achieve the best because you see the synergic effects, the moral courage, the issue of handling all the vulnerable issues together. I understand that this will give the whole globe a very dynamic, reasonable, timely opportunities to bring back our nature, the mother earth. Wonderful. And we know leading up to this, there were two important meetings that you were able to have huge impacts at the IUCN, the Climate Crisis Commission, and maybe you could share about how that was coming along in Marseille. You see the issues of this IUCN global temperature rising, the issues of the vulnerability bringing back the nature. You see all the issues have been discussed and being discussed in this COP26. And you know we had the chairs not yesterday, today also. And the final version will come up tomorrow which will reflect the aspirations of all the countries. I want to share one piece of information that the civil society, so many civil society organizations, they were putting their demand and like other COP, they also come up in one platform. Yesterday I was hearing that 250, 300 organizations, they have assembled with the demands of 1.5, 50, 50, 500 billion or 100 billion each year, all these. So this afternoon, the civil society organization, they handed over a document to us which is about 400 organizations, they gathered together with these views. So I understand that we are in the same board, same platform, putting our demands in a strong voice which will be able to reach to the countries those I meet tomorrow. So it's exciting to see the strong civil society coming together, calling for a strong moral architecture with the climate vulnerable forum nations. It's a very strong coalition for a stronger future and a healthy planet. Exactly. We also discussed with the LDC, Bangladesh is the LDC country, you know again, G7 plus China, AOC, small island countries. So we are discussing in different platforms of different forum. You know climate vulnerable forum, it is not a negotiating agency, it is not a negotiating platform rather it advocates for the different issues as I mentioned. So the role of CDF is much more helpful for all these negotiating groups so that we put them some same information, bringing them in the same platform, giving them much more encouragement going together and working together to achieve more. Yes, no, and it's exciting to see how everyone comes together to then come together for a common vision. Maybe the other side that people aren't aware of is how is climate crisis impacting the people of Bangladesh where you live at home?  You know Bangladesh exactly is a very climate event strong country. Last year we had about four or five big floods along with the cyclone Amphan. You know how Bangladesh has become so resilient in 1917 we had a cyclone Gorky, cyclone Bola. So that caused one million lives, believe me one million lives. The same magnitude cyclone last year named Amphan, it could cause only not more than 50 lives. We understand that a single life is very indelible. But you see from one million to 50, from one million to less than 100, how it could be possible? Yes, Bangladesh is a resilient country, vulnerable.  Same possible proposition it seems like, that climate is vulnerability. How climate can be a prosperity plan. So we think Bangladesh as we had the climate trust fund that we passed climate trust fund from our own money. We spent a huge amount of money indeed through this climate trust fund. Each year not less than $5 billion we spent for the climate causes. So with the holistic approach involving both public sector and private sector, we prepared a plan which we called climate prosperity plan. And it is named after the nation, Muzib climate prosperity plan. And the very encouraging thing is this, that 37 countries of this climate vulnerable forum, they are also now encouraged. They showed their interest that they want to have similar type of climate prosperity plan. Here, that we need to turn the challenges into opportunities. Obviously, we don't contribute in this climate degradation.  Likewise, all the climate vulnerable countries. So we need to look into how best we can utilize our resources for research, for mitigating the issues which can turn the challenges into opportunities. So we will be asking the global so the development partners also the multinational banks also to put their resources there for the common people. That's an excellent point. Can you think of one or two other examples of learning from each other in the climate vulnerable forum that they were in this case, seeing the excellent promising practice you were doing in Bangladesh. But when you meet, have you heard other things from maybe Marshall Islands or other countries that were also positive things you could bring home as well to help improve Bangladesh? I can cite one example from Bangladesh again. Let me share you with one adaptation practice. What happened in our country? We have very less quantity of land. You know, 165 million people having per square kilometer about 1250 percent. Believe me, per square kilometer, 1250 percent. Very less land for our food production. So what happened once a research was going on, that how best the peri-field above the peri rice field, there can be some tripling vegetables. So putting a structure on it, but not the whole land keeping some gap so that sunlight can enter. So we had the two storied agriculture. Okay. Then what happened? One researcher, he started putting solar panel above the tripling structure. So we can restore it. Now, another researcher, he thought that okay, in our country, we used to face floods very frequently. So a huge quantity of land is under water. Last year, the second, that with continuous flooding, they were not getting the land for the seedlings of rice. So what they did? They made a raft, putting the river widths, putting some mud on it and put the seedlings. So in the water, there is fish. On the water, there is a raft. On the raft, there are crops. And above the raft, there is a structure with people's vegetables and above that the solar. So you can say for a story. So we need to innovate. That is very sustainable and also innovative. It shows the ingenuity of indigenous peoples and peoples around the world that we can solve this situation and more importantly make sure that we have enough for everyone on earth. Exactly. We need to bring prosperity from our limited resources. If you consider the global resources, these are also being limited. And the present globe consumes almost what it produces. So what is next? We used to tell always that we need to give back this planet to our children from whom we borrowed it. But are we doing the right thing? Are we competent enough to give back the same planet which we got for our children? So these types of innovative solutions, I believe this may bring some prosperity, some new opportunities. But we should not forget about 1.5, not forget 500 billion, 50-50. And what our Prime Minister said as the CVF President, that we need to act now. No lip service. No lip service. Not only commitment, but you need to act. And you need to act today. Some people say we need to act. So we need to act today, not tomorrow. This is the quote from our Prime Minister that acts today. No, and maybe one action that did happen that shows there is momentum is the UN Human Rights Council did adopt the UN Special Operator for Climate Change. Do you think that will be a positive tool to help as we go forward? You have raised a very valid issue. Yes, we demanded that human rights report here in Human Rights Commission. There should be a report here on the climate. And these have been accepted. We are going to put one report here very soon. I understand this is the recognition of the vulnerable countries that it creates an opportunity for raising voice. And in that platform also, that may help us in achieving the issues which we are fighting for. Excellent. And I know we're getting close to the end of time. And I really do appreciate you making time right there in the middle of the negotiations. So right now, it is 7 o'clock at night. So in 24 hours, we should have a result. What do you think we'll see on the paper? What would you hope to see just 24 hours from now as the clock is counting down? I'm very optimistic. You see, we are negotiating for last 26 years. It's more. So we have achieved, but we need to achieve much more. So today is good. Tomorrow is better. That is excellent. And when you return, what will be some of the areas that you will then take to continue the hard work that you've been doing? What do you think are some of the things? Dhaka Glasgow declaration, which I mentioned. Today also, we discussed with Ghana. Ghana is the next president of the Climate Vulnerable Forum. You know, Climate Vulnerable Forum, it stands with a trike, the president, past and future. So Ghana will take over the presidency of CBF in next May. So we took them in our forum. We discussed with them also, of how best we can take forward the agenda of this Dhaka Glasgow declaration so that we can present a better world to our future generation. And Ghana, along with Marshall Allen, who is the first president, we are working hard. And we are committed that we will work very seriously on implementation of this Dhaka Glasgow declaration. Thank you again so much. And we look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening. And hopefully it will be as positive as you're saying. But I think what you really bring up with the Climate Vulnerable Forum is how much work it takes. And it's that commitment to social change to make sure that we look at the Paris Agreement, but also the 2030 agenda of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Exactly. Looking into the SDG, again, the Climate Prosperity Plan in our country, we have the 10 years plan of climate prosperity, which will again help in achieving the SDG goals. And, you know, this year, the study of the UN and also the SDSN shows that Bangladesh achieved in SDG best. So the best achievement, it came from, again, some of the issues of climate vulnerability and bringing this towards prosperity. Once again, Special Envoy, thank you so much for making time in the final 24 hours of the negotiations. We wish you all the best and we'll see you in the halls of the Blue Zone. And we hope that the Blue Zone will also be a blue Pacific and we'll have a blue economy and a much better world going forward. And it is interesting because Glasgow is maybe where James White created the steam engine and many other things, but maybe this is the chance that the world will have a new vision of what matters most for all of us. Thank you very much. Thank you for your time. Aloha. Bye. Bye.


Okay, thank you very much for having me here. I am a PhD student in crumble project Crumble project studies the funerary practices of cremations in Belgium from Neolithic to early iron age period So today I'm going to present you the changes in funerary practices of Belgium late Bronze Age early iron age unfilled For this isn't we chose two sides? Belzeke and Bilki and as far as you can see they are both located in West part of Belgium Belzeke Padistrat was excavated between 1975 and 1976 in total 41 cremation graves were excavated among them We had 40 own graves one bone back grave and with this terminology we mean The cremated the deposition of cremate is bones in an organic container. So we had the bones we had the same but we didn't have their own and Based on the grave goods and the radiocarbon dating all the graves Dated between a thousand and hundred and sixty BC to four hundred and ten BC unfortunately We are able to analyze only 14 Graves and they are in the red circle in the picture Blicky was excavated between 1993 and 2003 in total 35 cremations graves were excavated Among them we have 26 Seven bone back graves and two mixed graves. So in this case we had cremated bones and charcoal and Again based on the Grave goods and radiocarbon dated that has been done by Gidem Mulder and his colleague at 2007 The graves were dated from a thousand four hundred and fifty to five hundred BC So in this case it was from the middle bronzage to the early iron age period The aim of this project is to investigate the varieties behind the homogeneity regarding the funerary practices of two Belgian urnfields at Belzeke and Blicky For this reason we choose We choose no it was available to study only 14 graves from Belzeke 14 from Blicky and From each individual and where it was possible. We choose three different element One diaphysis one cranial and one rib First of all we did the astrological analysis in order to identify different skeletal elements and to assess the sex and the age of the individuals continually we did Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and carbon and oxygen isotope analysis and We want to approach the cremations conditions okay Before to start the astrological analysis, I have to say that all the results based only in The 14 graves that it was available for this study for 14 from Belzeke 14 from Blicky and not for all the graves that were excavated So as far as you know cremated bones are extremely fragmentary so As you can see the majority the sex of the majority of the individuals Was assessed as interterminate In Blicky we can see that The percentage of females and males is exactly the same while in Belzeke only the females are Represented of course that doesn't mean that we didn't have Males in Belzeke, but that it was it wasn't possible to assess them through the astrological analysis for the age estimation we observed that The percentages of non-adult individuals from Belzeke was higher than in Blicky and more specifically we have the fetus category and Early childhood category represent seven and twenty seven percent respectively On the other hand at Blicky only the category of early childhood is represented In both sides the category of adult is the dominant one So as you can see the percentage of adult are higher than the non-adult Okay, the cremation condition now We try to to approach the cremations conditions using carbon and oxygen isotope analysis and FTIR in the first box plot you can see that It's represent the offset of carbon between the ribbed and cranial so actually it's the different from the ribs to cranial and as far as you can see Belzeke the ribs from Belzeke present less negative values than in Blicky So that is means that the ribs from Belzeke had higher carbon than in Blicky That's what it can mean. Okay That probably means That during cremations, we have carbon exchanges between Bone appetite carbonate and the fuel so there is an exchange during the cremation process So probably we have this difference between the two skeletal elements in one case It was the ribs that had higher carbon and in other case it was the cranial that had higher carbon values Because probably in the case of Belzeke the ribs were closer to the fuel So the ribs are closer to the fuel and for this reason they had Higher carbon values the absorbance of carbon it was higher But again, what it can mean. Okay, that means that Probably this difference between the two skeletal elements are related with the position of the body on the pyre In the one case we have the ribs closer to the fuel so The ribs are closer to the fuel and the position is different on the case that it was the cranial closer to the fuel Sorry for the next picture if it's too hard, but As far as we can see here There are factors such as the size of the pyre The amount of fuel and the position of the of the body that can affect on the cremation process again In the second graph we have the offset Of crystallinity between the ribs and cranias again In previous studies crystallinity has been linked with the temperature So if we look together the two graphs We can see that they look reversed So in the first case at Belzeke it was the ribs that were closer to the fuel But in this case seems that the cranias Present the highest temperature so And in bliki it was the cranial bones that That they were closer to the fuel but the ribs that they had the highest temperature Once again, we have to link these differences between the two sides and the two different skeletal elements With factors such as the size of the pyre if it was big or small With the amount of the fuel and the position of the body And here we have to say also that as far as you can see The sums from Belzeke present More More homogeneity And this homogeneity could be related with the with the fact that the cremations conditions were more homogenous in Belzeke than in bliki that we have a bigger variability And that could be related again with the fact that probably the people from Belzeke had a better a better control of cremations conditions A bit a bit a bigger knowledge of cremations practices or a kind of specialization of cremations process In conclusion We observe homogeneity regarding the type of depositions in both sides. We had urgraves and bone pack graves And despite the fact that we didn't observe differences based on the sex and the age of the individuals Uh, the results from carbon and oxygen and ft ir are promising and we saw differences in cremations conditions And probably these differences are linked with facts such as the size of the pyre the amount of fuel and the position of the body I have to say that these are some initial results So we should be very careful with the interpretation But they look promising and we have to to look further on there We hope that at the end of crumble project We will be able to reconstruct the funerary practices of belgium and to see the cremations conditions


I'm just checking out this unboxing video and this is the BAM box horror for the month of August a little bit late Not bad though. The original box is actually going to be a little bit more late because apparently the proper replica They have coming for this one which Adam MacArthur the CEO owner founder of BAM box says is one of their best They've ever done so we'll see He says that it's still not It's still not Dry so you know Anyway, we'll wait on that one, but I'm happy that the BAM horror one is here The BAM horror one is my favorite typically so really excited about that I know I think I remember like two of the properties are supposed to be in here I did want to say real quick though some of the things that the BAM box is doing Adam MacArthur said that Going forward I think starting with this box if I'm not right. It's the September box They're gonna be putting in like random other things in the boxes such as more rare Autographs like bigger name people Randomly here and there and then they're gonna do something a call kind of like golden tickets where it'll be like a ticket for a free BAM box or a free expansion pack because they do expansion packs every now and then where it's usually a bigger name person And the value on those is usually somewhere between like 60 to 90 bucks So if you get one of those really good value, so let's dive into this and see how it is BAM box been doing pretty well. So let's cut into this sucker Sorry if you end up hearing my cat because she just ate dinner and for some reason after she eats dinner She likes to yell. There's some tissue paper for Right over there. So she should enjoy that and tissue paper number two and a third one for There you go, Chloe. Enjoy that All right, first thing proper replica. It's small You know, I'm not huge on proper replicas, but we'll see every now and then What is this? It's a ring of sorts Damn I can't place this I really can't Sorry for the glare, but Okay, this is a ring everyone Does it look like I Want to say the mummy maybe Like this looks like some like old Egyptian jewelry. I want to say like the mummy Think that might have been one of the properties. I don't know. We'll find out in the slow sheet anyway Oh cats already playing with the tissue paper. So if you hear that Boom, this is nice. I'm sorry glare One-up card Yes, one of the one-up cards. Does it say specifically on here? Now it just says up Upgraded I wish they would stay on here. What that means got upgraded. I know there's there's a color system But I've just never been able to figure it out. I've gotten blue green yellow red now and I just don't know Never know what they mean. Anyway, now. Here's the pin the thing. I'm always like, please let it be good and this is by designed by Brian Romero and it It's Freddy Krueger, man Which is awesome because of people saw my it's very awesome and timely that is because of people just saw my recent video that I did of the Monster mania convention that I went to I met Robert England the original Freddy Krueger and he was a super nice guy If you want to know more about that you can check out that video It's Monster mania convention number 40 and it was pretty awesome. I like this. Let me see Is this one of the rare ones? I'm gonna check see if there's a number on the back That'll tell me No, so I guess this is not the upgrade So we'll find out but that's cool. I like it. I like like the little green and blue green blue green and red bowtie Sorry, I just got done with work and like my brain's kind of fried But I saw this and I was like gotta unbox it so Plus this is I think this is the type of video that people are mainly looking for on my channel not the other stuff I do anyway, here's the art print It's a fan from the fan art collection, and it's done by Oscar van And Okay, yes, I know what this is. Okay now. Now. This is one of the properties. I actually remember this was 13 ghosts and I got number 423 out of 500 so I'm assuming this was my upgrade because I had a 500 because I know I know There are more band boxes and 500 there you go I just want to make sure you can see it without there is a glare on up top. I'm sorry if there is there you go You can see it. Um, I don't really I Mean I guess I get what it is It's kind of hard at first when you see it to kind of figure out actually when I hold it back and Look at it on the screen I can see it a lot clearer because it's actually like blurry when I put it up there I don't know if you could tell that as much but it's kind of like blurry like you're about to pass out Which I think is actually a scene from 13 ghosts where like some of these ghosts are coming out of I don't think it was all of these. I think it was just added for this fan artwork But I don't know if I really like that because you have to kind of look from further away To get a good idea of what it is, but it's this terror wants company. I like that It's not a huge fan of that. I mean I see the place for it, but it's just not my It's not my bag All right, then the autograph This is Okay well I'm not a fan of this so you know, maybe someone out there is Someone will be uh the print looks cool though that the signatures on so this is a signature This is from the game, which I know it's really popular. I've seen people play it online I haven't played it myself doesn't look like a game. I'd really necessarily be into but this is five night five nights at freddy's And this who signed this kellen golf Is the voice of freddy? So if they're going to get someone from that game the fact that they got the titular voice for the game is pretty cool So I guarantee there are some people out there who are really going to like this And like I said the print looks really nice like very vibrant colors looks nice I like the way it looks. It's just not for me. I'm just not a fan of that But you know, that's what ends up happening with a lot of these boxes And I gotta love it all the properties for everything All right, so the five nights at freddy's signing Five nights of freddy's do do do do there are a few different things you could get actually a few different things It looks like some things were like kind of like toy type items So you can see right there that prints pretty cool too. I like that print a lot I'm actually really glad that I got the one I did so and I was right It's from the universal the mummy, you know boris carloff played the mummy pretty awesome There's a ring from there. That is a good. It's a good looking prop replica and it's like Where is it? It's like legitimately got some hefts. It's like actual metal. So, you know, uh, the different Pictures you could have gotten for 13 ghosts. I actually like the regular one more than the out of 500 But I'm also not like crazy big into 13 ghosts. So that's fine So I'm not like that let down These are good good pins for the freddy crew. Oh the limited out of 250 It's so crude and rude, but it's so great And the out of 99 is cool too. But look at that. I really honestly with that you couldn't go wrong Like all those freddy ones look really good. You cannot go wrong I'm happy with that and then uh, they were having a special giveaway You could win a robert england signed freddy 11 by 14 photo And if you look down there Sorry look down there. That's it Looks good looks real good awesome, so overall Not really a big fan of this because I didn't really particularly like the style of it, but also I'm just not huge on 13 ghosts Um, I like the way this looks the prints really cool. Uh, it's great that they got the titular character for this game I'm just not into that game. Uh, I do think this is cool. Uh, I don't think I've ever actually seen the original mummy Um, but I should actually see it. Uh, that's really well made. I don't know if I'll display that or not But I really really really like this because it's freddy kruger and Who doesn't freaking like freddy kruger who likes horror? Well, I'm sure there are people but That's not me. Anyway. Thank you everyone for checking this out Go ahead and keep looking for the original unboxing band box Uh, it is going to be a little bit later.

I realize, of course, it is no shame to be poor, but there's no great honor either. So what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?  You are. Today we got a, this is a little vlog from a channel called The Indian Polish Connection. But is it Polish or Polish? Yep. I don't know. But it's visiting the British Museum Indian collection. Are we gonna like this video? Well, this is an Indian man. And so I think he's talking about a lot of the artifacts that the British have that belong to India. And because I think, I believe, I don't know if he's like in, or if he just knows a lot, but he also I believe his friend or his girlfriend or something is a white lady. And so I think he's gonna go through a lot of the artifacts and like when they stole it. So like, he knows his vibe. Interesting. His vibe isn't just, oh, look at this. They stole this at this time, never get it. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I'm interested. Because yeah, if the British gave back all their artifacts in all their museums, they wouldn't have any artifacts left. Well, they'd have nothing, nothing. Here we go. The cheese is here. Everything is here. I mean, every region, Central, East, South, North, every cheese. I get really angry. I bet. You know, how long has it been since I've come here? Ten years. I just came in, you know, I was new here. I think I never been here. Have you never been here? Oh, really? So, yeah. So, brother and sister, welcome back to another vlog. Another day like we always say. Today's vlog, brother, today I will show you that from our country, India, what has been stolen from India and what has been stolen from our country. And many countries, not just us, keep on making them.  Including, including what's in the Queen's crown. Did they bury that dead lady with a crown? So, let's go, ma'am. Let's go, let's go. Let's show everyone the inside. Enjoy everything inside. Is this thing made of gold? Gold? I'll ask, it doesn't look like anything. Maybe, you never know, maybe. Maybe it's gold. It's probably gold from India. Did they bury that dead lady with the stolen jewel in her crown? It's actually very overwhelmed. I don't know.  Entry is free here, but recently, they have to take you online, but it's free of charge completely. Because of COVID, limited people can come in. This British Museum was made in 1759. Oh. That means, in terms of preservation, it looks like it was made yesterday. Yes, it looks like it was made yesterday. I mean, restoration and preservation that we do here. Plus, I think weather also plays a very vital part. We mostly live in the cold. They were children of the outside village, so I helped them a little bit. Silvia, that statue, you see that big one? That big statue is from 1200 A.D. From 1200 A.D. The thing is that it was made like ages ago. It was so insanely beautiful. And we are unable to copy them now. That's Ravi Shankar's, huh? I couldn't read that. When the fight took place, they took away all of it and kept it here. So everything just, you know, they just took it and kept it here. This is the silverware. Mike, what basically this whole Ramayana, these plates and plates were made by them. See, they are in between. India was like one of the rich countries and the most artistic place in the world. It was so talented in our country. It still is. That's extraordinary. Oh, wow. Why do you have all that? Unless it was gifted.  Right. You see this beautiful piece? Yeah. It was printed and died in Gujarat in 1500. 1500. It was a work of art. Wow. It has shadow puppets. It was such an amazing art house. I would love to see the entire show with this type of puppets. Yeah, we have it still in Rajasthan. Are you still using the same? But not this now, but I think this is slowly depleting. Maybe it might be still happening. I don't know. It all happened. It all happened. They ruled. But the worst part is that they didn't just steal the wealth.  Some stories I've heard where they chopped the hands of these textile weavers and stuff so they wouldn't be able to continue. Guys, this is the Sarinda. Even guitars, I think guitars are probably originated from this only. This only. Yeah, Bhai Balwai. Wow. Wow. Hanuman. This is from 1600. This is from 1600. Lord Vishnu. I'll take you to Khajirao temples. You'll be crazy. Its whole temple has got this architecture. It's looking like this. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, we've seen that one. Vishnu Ji Ka a third avatar which is basically a sour-headed Shakti which is representing a female divine energy. This Shiva Ki a bohoti unique statue you can see. This is called the Dakshan Muruti, guys. You can see that Shiva Ji is facing south, at the angle of the south. And this facial expression of Shiva I don't think you will see in a lot of places. In the section of Urisa which is from 700 to 1300 A.D. Guys, Shiva and Parvati Ji are in front of me. It's such a sculpture which I've lost. Honestly. Wow. 1200s. I remember that story. 1.5 million years ago in India Bro, can you see how modern and what does it mean in India? The tiny pranks of animals. Look how... She must understand, Indi. Yeah, she was speaking a little of it, early. This is from Harapata, India. My God, so beautiful. Though, you know, I would have hoped and prayed that this was in India. You know, in India, we see all this. But it's anyway, it's just a... It's just a privilege to see this that itini purani cheese was up and I don't know, like when I'm looking at it I'm going in this history completely. Oh, wow. Ganesh. A great shrine of Amravati. How did they transfer that? Obviously it was by boat, but my goodness. Probably on the backs of Indians. Yeah, mixed emotions. On one hand, I'm really, like, grateful that we can see that everything is so well preserved and we're really lucky to be able to kind of connect all of the pieces. But on the other hand, when I'm thinking that it was just taken away from someone's home in this country, it's heartbreaking. So, let's get out of the Indian section and show you the Egyptian section for which I'm very curious because a lot of stuff has been stolen from there. It's more than a letter. It's been closed in 10 minutes. Let's go to this Egyptian section. Let me show you the mummy. That too, a very old thing has been stolen. Wow, wow, wow. Great, great. Did you want to spend the night with mummy? Yes, with mummy. Mr. Vishnu is quite comfortable with Mr. Hanuman. Egyptian slippers come in slippers and you know, the slippers, actually, it's not a myth. It's what we used to do. First they wash it and remove all the internal organs. Then they dry it, then they pack it. After that, they coat your skin with liquid plant raisin. And then after that, it is wrapped completely in sheets of linen. Good God. Thanks a lot. First of all, I mean, after seeing a little bit of this place, I just feel that this is a supernatural, this is a supernatural phenomenon. In that era, how was there so much beauty? How they were able to car things like that. What skills did they need? It's so hard to even imagine, so hard. I think it's high time that we preserve these things and appreciate the value of these things. Like you saw the Sanskrit, it's such an old language. It's been in our country for a long time. And we today, believe Hindi and Sanskrit as not cool type of language and English as very cool. We're proud of being an Indian. I like the very raw nature of the filming. And I can't even record it. Yeah, that was such beautiful artifacts. But, yeah, the, unless it was gifted, and I know for a fact it was not, because obviously stuff is gifted to different museums for different times. Obviously that's the thing that happens.  Of course. And they have refused. And I truly do understand a point that Britain makes in regard to in order for these to be transported and stored anywhere else, comparable storage capabilities must be a prerequisite because you can't just stick them in a locker. Or in somebody's house. India has museums. No, archeologists. That is a valid point. However, India has museums. And, yeah, they come from different regions. You can find a place that would be there and wouldn't it be really cool if the whole archeological and preservation community for artistic pieces came together and worked together to ensure that artifacts were returned to the nation of origin unless the nation of origin gifted it to a nation and that they all worked together to ensure that that stuff went back there. But, yeah, I mean, that's not lucrative for them. And they literally in the Queen's crown the stolen jewel of India. Literally, it's just right in there.  The proper thing to do is to humbly and repentantly return those things. That is the right thing to do. It ain't gonna happen though.  If it saddens me, I can't imagine what it does to an Indian. It's gotta feel awful. Yeah. I'd imagine. But, fantastic. Really enjoyed the vlog. So, good job to the channel. Go check them out. The Indian-Polish connection, maybe? Yeah, I don't know if this was 399,000 subscribers, so hats off to them. They seem like a nice couple. Yeah. Anyways, but yeah, it'd be, one, all those artifacts would be really interesting to see, obviously. And mixed emotions. It's great that they've been preserved. But, obviously, I'm well aware, speaking as an American, there's a bunch of stuff in our museums that is also stolen and should be given back if the country's wanted them back. And also, stuff that we can't give back because we killed off an entire subsection of humans when we conquered America. And so, there's a bunch of artifacts that we cannot give back because they aren't around anymore. And those we didn't kill, we lied to. Yeah.  No, it's everybody. We are an offshoot of Britain. And we did equally- We followed their pattern for a long time. Yeah, we did. Very much so. And obviously, those two are also not the only countries that did this. No, everybody's been guilty of it. Yeah, China, like, there's... Unfortunately, humans are just bad a lot of times. But there are things that can be done. And it is the... I feel the responsibility of the collective international community to have one voice and say, this is what we ought to do. If we truly care about the preservation of these artifacts, we would care about where they came from to the extent that those artifacts should be returned to the nations that want them back. Yeah, I agree. That's that simple. Anyways, let us know what your thoughts are and what other videos we can react to down below.


How's it going everyone and welcome back to another video. I apologize for this mess.  I guess I have to clean it up later. So a couple of months ago I made a video on how to create in-camera transitions with your iPhone which you guys really love. It has gotten over 240,000 views which has become my second most popular video on my YouTube channel and a lot of you guys wanted to know how I edited these transitions. So today is your lucky day because I will be showing you how I did that and by the end of this video you will be able to edit your own in-camera transitions. If you haven't seen the video yet make sure to watch the video first. I will leave a link up here for you to check out. Keep in mind that there will be a timestamp below if you want to skip or go back to a particular part of the video. One of the most frequently asked questions I got on that video is what editing software do I use? Well as the title suggests I use Final Cut Pro. I use it basically for all of my edits. By the way these editing techniques that I'm about to show you can also be applied with most editing softwares out there. The principles are really the same. Unfortunately Final Cut Pro is only available for Mac users. If you don't have a Mac then I'm sorry. If you plan on getting Final Cut Pro you will have to make a one-time payment of $300 which I think is a great deal. Now if you're new to Final Cut Pro there is a 90-day free trial available if you want to test it out. Now if you're wondering if these in-camera transitions can also be edit on a smartphone I would say yes to a certain extent. So if you do your in-camera transitions right you will have to do little to no editing in post-production but of course it depends on the transition you create. The editing app I would recommend is Luma Fusion if you're using an iOS device or in-shot which works for both iOS and Android but I find Luma Fusion has more advanced features and is my personal favorite. So let's now head over to Final Cut Pro so that I can show you how I've edited these clips together to make the transition look seamless. So I've already imported the clips and have created a project. The first transition we're going to look at is the sky transition. So I got both of my shots in the timeline and the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to shorten the clip to just have the best portion.  I'm going to play back the clip now now we can add a speed ramp to both clips to make it even look more seamless. So to do that I'm actually going to first slow down both clips because I filmed them in 4k 60 frames per second and to do that I'm going to select both of the clips head over to this symbol right here and then I'm going to select automatic speed and that will automatically slow down your footage while rotating the frame rate so that it doesn't look choppy. I'm now going to hit the shift B to create a speed ramp and I'm actually going to start the speed ramp right as it goes up. So I'm going to hit the shift B right here and on the second shot I'm going to hit the shift B over here so I want the speed ramp to stop here. So I'm going to move the cursor right here hit shift B and in in the first clip I'm going to speed it up four times and in the second shot as well. So what this does is in the first shot the speed will start from slow motion to fast motion and then in the second shot from fast motion to slow motion. So I'm going to look at that right now. So that doesn't look too bad at all and I can actually even increase the speed a little bit by dragging over here and with this shot as well I'm going to drag it to the left to increase the speed even more. Find that this is really fast so I'm going to slow this down a little bit more to match it with the first shot and the second shot I'm going to increase the speed and what this does is it smoothens out the speed ramp a bit. So as I pull it away creates a smoother speed ramp. What we're now going to do is create a fade transition between the two clips and to do that I'm going to select one clip hit the command T button and as you can see it already created a fade transition in between the two clips. I usually keep it very short the fade duration so that it's not too obvious but as I play it back now this actually looks really good. So yeah that is how you edit a sky transition. I will tell you right now that these two methods the speed ramp and the fade transition are simple ways that will help create a seamless transition between two shots. So the next transition we're going to look at is the match cut. So I dragged both of the shots into the timeline and just selected the best portion and to create a match cut I'm going to drag the second clip on top of the first one like so and I'm going to zoom in a bit and I'm going to lower the opacity on the second shot to around 50% and I'm going to hit the transformation tool and align it with the first shot and I should have thought of this when I filmed this video because in the second shot George is too far away but luckily I recorded the video in 4k so I can zoom all the way in without losing quality when exporting it in 1080p. So I'm going to do that right now I'm going to zoom all the way in to match it with George like that and I'm going to hit done and I'm going to put the opacity back to 100 and I'm going to drag it back to the primary timeline and when I play it back it created a nice match cut. Another great tip that makes your match cut look even better is to match it with the movement. So as George walks forward and puts his right foot onto the floor in the second shot George should be putting his right foot on the floor as well. So I'm going to hit the T button which is the trim tool and then I'm going to drag it to the left so that his right foot hits the floor and this way it looks even more seamless. See that? Boom. Pretty awesome. So there you have it you've now created a simple match cut. So next I will show you how I edit the mask out frame transition where I used a green screen. So in the first shot I have a George holding up his phone with a green screen and I'm going to first head over to the keyer and I'm going to drag the keyer over and apply it onto that clip and as you can see the screen starts to turn black so the keyer already looks pretty good. I don't have to do any additional fine tuning and what I now can do is drag the first shot on top of the second shot and what that does is it's playing the second shot in the background as you can see the second shot is played onto that phone right now as I move in sort of transitions into the second shot. I added speed ramps to both of the clips as you can see it starts slow motion and then speeds up fast as well as in the second shot it starts speeding up fast and then goes back into normal speed. Now on top of that I want to add a nice rotation to it. So what I'm going to do is hit the transformation tool and hit the keyframe button up here move it all the way to the end of the clip and then zoom in and then turn it like that. So and when playing it back it creates this awesome inception effect. Pretty cool and I notice a little bit of green over here so I can head over to the keyer and use this sample tool to get rid of that greenish tint over here and as I play it back it looks pretty nice. So next I'm going to show you how I mask out objects. So I'm first going to select the first shot where George is walking and passing by a tree and we're actually going to mask out this part right here and I'm going to drag the cursor around here and set a marker by hitting M. The next thing I'm going to do is type in draw mask and I'm going to drag this onto the first shot and now I can create these control points and as you can see as I drag these control points it's going to create a mask. So what we're now going to do is I'm going to open up the draw mask to reveal all the settings that we can change. I'm actually going to right click and select add. What I'm also going to do is increase the feather a bit and I'm now going to move frame to frame and adjust the mask. So I'm going to move forward and sort of drag this backwards and again until the whole tree is out of the frame. So there you have it I'm now going to play it back so that you guys can see how it looks like. So what I'm now going to do is actually drag the first clip on top of the second clip and I'm actually going to create a gap so that I can move this right where the mask starts. So as I play the clip back you get a nice masking transition. So yeah as you can see it isn't hard to edit these transitions if you filmed it right in the first place. I hope this editing tutorial was helpful for you. If it was make sure to leave a like and leave a comment below if you have any further questions.
