there you go once you've got an open end to work with you're away then can't you see what did that take all about an hour and a half I think so yeah welcome from the shed we're back at the job where we did the window patcher and today we're going to be replacing this concrete floor because as you can see here there's damp rising up in it and it's just a bit worse for work there you go I'm not looking the best and then I made a quick start here as you can see it travels up here as well obviously there was a void here because it was like that but yeah so our job today is get this all ripped out and get a better one in sand this green insulation concrete there you go we're mixing our own yeah we're mixing our own for this one because as you can see we don't really need we don't have the companies to come here and put like three barrafold in and charge it needs to under quit right yeah so that's the plan for today obviously you'll see us going step by step over it so catching a bit so obviously our first step for this one is going to be is it coming up quite quickly like I said it's traveling it's got like a slope whatever you want to call it so once we've got this loose bit out so just a quick one you've probably had to see this all the time in previous videos but like my dad always says once you've got an open end to work with you're away then because obviously you should put on the time lapse it's been struggling to get the open end but now we've got the open end so it all just chips off thing so go on dad do you want to tell them the route the golden rule get yourself a find a corner or once you're out you've got an open end and then it just breaks off nice and easy then nothing much trying to go through concrete open end always and dad just sorted skip we're going to get into our house so we can just stay past because we're on the on the road here the terrace on these yeah yeah because we're on a terrace estate at the moment it's a lot easier to get the skip at our house instead of trying to get it in the middle of the road it's a permit as well you've you've got to a permit on the road which you've got to apply for you can't just get a permit and turn up you've got to apply for it a few days ahead there you go so it's would have been a fat given permit anyway so we'll get it on our drive so no issue do you amount to go yeah a bit of extra weight for us but like two miles or so oh you know mom's going to make use of it okay you know mom's going to make use of it yeah so there you go there's your little quick tip back to it I don't really tell because it's all still here but all that's loose and ready to come out only reasons now yeah it's because everything's occupied at the moment so there's dad had to go and pick up some stuff let's go get the wack out which we forgot some um stone for mixing concrete I think some sand just to uh sand wind so once he's back we can load the van up with some more crap and start getting this tidied up and move on to the next phase so hurry up dad catching a bit right first load off to the skip which is in a different postcode because um I think we've explored explained you can't get a permit on your day it was going to go in front of the house but um because we can't get a permit we're just going to put it elsewhere and we can um only a couple of trips in the van so we're going to get this to take all this down get that chucked in get back up get the rest of it out get it prepped right seen a bit not feeling so good we don't know it's the heat the dodgy baking rolls back down or what anyway here we are you can see rather primitive where we've gone down so all the slab's gone either send us off loading in the skip at home um so down three we're gonna get the rest of this out as much as we can in buckets as we can and knock that step out so the concrete slab goes through yeah get it prepped so we've took most of the big stuff out so let's get the rest of this out and then customers took the wood out for us as well underneath what wood for us all right all cool so we can get through easier right oh nice one cool so yeah it's just a matter of getting this out believe it or not there's about a tonne and a half going in that skip easily the next is the first load already yeah we're gonna fill that little two tonne so yeah let's get cracking and keep getting get the rest of this out tell you what it's only about 21 here it gets scorching as you can see we've sun blinded it we took out that front course to go through with the concrete the um when we whacked it it went 40mm low so it's never been whacked so it's really settled such a rock hard now let's put about four or five buckets back in under that low i don't remember that stone in the concrete so we've made it back up so we've got to back to 100mm slab so after dinner get the visqueen caught chuck that in get the insulation down visqueen and then hit the concrete time there you go they're just delivering our ballast now so that's handy for after dinner so yeah let's go and have some lunch and get back back to it visqueen insulation done cold bridges straight around the edges it's only an outhouse and it's got 125mm insulation we had some left over and the customer had some um cellotex kind of the foil stuff 60mm so we've used it by he had left and used our 125 so it's got a nice thick 125 underneath cold bridges strip got a blusher across that when we get towards the end now we're going to start mixing and it's his 10 pass 3 wish it was yeah um yeah we're gonna get stuck in now that's kind of tired you'll like it mixes in he's going to shuttle back and forward with the uh with the bars so um yeah hopefully this shouldn't take too long it's all that we've done by hand we've done it at the level as I go and it's in what did that take all about an hour and a half I think so yeah hand mixing well not hand mixing with the bell mixer but yeah concrete's in see the strip round got a little threshold in for the door yeah so we're ready to get tamping and trailing up which shouldn't take long so while I'm at doing this Alex is going to get the um stuff put away all that tidied up out there we've all mixed the concrete but I'd rather have a bit left over well I need to put in the fold now oh yeah plus we've got that threshold to do yet so so as usual it's a bit boring to do without time left for now so time left for this task floor done 125 insulation cold bridging straight around the edge nice and flat doesn't look much but that was a tough day and it's about half past five now so um we've got here because the skips at ours we've got a few bits to pick up tomorrow so we're gonna come back in the morning when we get up eventually get the mixer get the wheelbarrow get the whole stone get stone bagged up and have a good tidied up so um I'll hand it to Alex so he'll do his nice outro if there's enough battery so there you have it that's all how to re redo a concrete slab if you enjoyed watching be sure to give it a thumbs up and if you're new to the channel be sure to hit subscribe and tap that bell that way you'll know when we upload and that's always a massive help for us and the channel so we greatly appreciate that thank you very much this has been bricklay with Steve and Alex with a concrete slab and we'll see you in the next one

Plum is to wake me up in 15 minutes, I promise." Romantic love has never been the focal point for adventure time, yet when they do get around to displaying it, they explore it with plenty of nuance, highlighting the good, the bad and the ugly, and showing just how complicated, difficult, and beautiful the feeling, the action, the idea of love actually is. Through Marceline and Bubblegum, we see how so much of making relationships work is the work we must do on ourselves first. No matter who might help you or who is in your corner, at the end of the day, the responsibility is on oneself to grow and change. Beginning with Marceline, the vampire queen's most detrimental problem is her complicated relationship with her past. In her words, she was a messed up kid. Abandonment issues are at the forefront of this character. Beginning with her mother, who raised her, the demon child believed her mother ran away from her out of fear of her monster origin and left her alone in the post-apocalyptic land of U. Simon, who then found and raised her for a few years after that, slowly turned into the Ice King and had to leave her for fear of hurting her. Hunson, her biological father, only assumed that role when Marceline was in her teenage years, and up until the first season of the show, she is unsure if her father actually loves her or even cares about her. As she grew older, he rarely spent time with his daughter, devoting most of his time to ruling the nightosphere. Add in Ash, Marceline's conniving ex-boyfriend and the whole vampire saga, and all of this creates and informs the Marceline we come to know in the early stages of adventure time. This morally confused trickster has lost her way over all those years and is deeply afraid of letting good people into her life, fearing that they will leave her because she is a monster at her core. Marceline becomes someone who is easily influenced by those around her, and once surrounded by more questionable figures like LSP, Ash, and her ghost friends, she then tends to emulate the people she's around, having no real moral anchor of her own. This is why she comes across as somewhat cruel and cold and caring in her first few appearances, but eventually growing out of that when she spends more time with Finn and Jake. After believing that she's scared her own mother off, the young Marceline says that when people run away from her, it's because she wants them to. Like a funny joke, she says, so Marceline embraces this side of her and intentionally develops this edge and this roughness about her, creating this hard and tough barrier because love has constantly hurt her. One of Marceline's most persistent traits is her inability to confront her own emotions while simultaneously being an emotional person, and this is because her mother was never able to be honest about her own health problems with her daughter. It messed her up, she says. Marceline has this tendency to run away at the first sight of discomfort. We see her do that in what was missing, in stakes, obsidian, even to people. And I remember you, she points out that ever since she met Ice King, she's been avoiding him because of her memories of Simon. Marceline's only outlet for her emotions is her songs. It's easy to see how this emotional baggage comes to haunt Marceline's relationship with Bubblegum as their argument and obsidian was born from Marceline's lack of morality with the glass citizens, in which she stated that she didn't care about their lives and proceeded to play with the other citizens like they were toys. Marceline's emotional volatility is also displayed here. When her need for attention isn't met, she lashes out immaturely how to fear of being left behind once again now by her girlfriend. Again, her inability to properly communicate how she feels leads her to these kinds of outbursts, where she writes an incredibly hurtful song to the princess and destroys her device. Princess Bubblegum's philosophy can be articulated in a single line. His responsibility demands sacrifice. When the moment she was born, Bonnebel Bubblegum has always taken care of others. Her sweet brother, Nettie, would be the first to feel that care and the candy citizens follow. But before the candy kingdom and the crown, it was just Bonnie. For hundreds of years, she scavenged the post-apocalyptic wasteland that was ooo, yearning for companionship for people like her, so she created her own family. Her uncle, Gumball, would eventually threaten Bonnebel's sense of control when his individuality blossomed, as he desired to create apartment complexes and sell apparel. And to it, she would say that, this isn't what I made you to be. Though Bubblegum wished for her family to be real, to have agency, that agency had to be within the realm of what she found acceptable. Though Bubblegum was only a child, this experience of her own family turning against her and conspiring to eliminate her was a memory that would be burned into her psyche. This informed her future decisions. It informed the type of person she would come to be. It would inform her desire to have all the candy citizens to be, quote, happy and unburdened. Using her dumb-dumb juice on her citizens, she would create a group of people, a family to protect and control. As the only sentient, intelligent entity around for much of her formative years, Bubblegum desires tremendous control over situations because she's so used to controlling everything for her and Nettie. She needs control because she fears what could happen if she's not the one in charge. She's so used to fixing everything. It's one of the reasons why she has problems with Marcelli. PB is so logic-based, so scientifically wired, that she rarely considers the desires or emotions of others, only focusing on whether an action is good for them or not. In addition, she can be mean and particularly harsh with her words. In that argument in Obsidian, Princess Bubblegum calls Marcelli monster trash, an emotionally unintelligent choice, because for Marcelli, that word has defined so much of her life. In this argument, the vampire also asks Bubblegum why she brought her along, and Bubblegum retorts that she never invited her, and that she doesn't have time for, a line that the girl with abandoned issues takes personally. At this stage in their lives, these characters were clearly not ready to be together. So when Adventure Time's main story begins, we meet these two characters during their separation. As any relationship goes, their issues were greater than this one argument. My first thoughts upon rewatching it came from the Nightosphere were that Marcelli's father, Hansen, is a bit like Bubblegum in a way. PB is someone who is wholly committed and dedicated to her work. Hansen is the same. The ruler of the Nightosphere barely has time to even visit his daughter if he's not summoned. And much like Bubblegum, they're too put their work over any of their personal relationships. And we see in Obsidian, Marcelli constantly vying for PB's attention. She's always occupied with something else. This reminder might have been extra painful for the vampire. In the early series, the vampire queen has her fair share of meanness as well. When Go With Me, Marcelli pranks Finn by telling him that fun is the way to princess Bubblegum's heart. PB notoriously never has time for fun. Meanwhile, Marcelli never had any of the responsibilities that PB had. Marcelli then insists that the princess is a brain lord who was born. And she has Finn bring wolves to the princess's door. What was missing only adds fuel to this fire. Marcelli begins the episode by making off-color remarks to Bubblegum, alluding to her type A nature. Just keep it cool. Got that princess? Hmph. When Marcelli is crude and abrasive, saying that she'll drink the red out of her pretty pink face, Bubblegum finds that distasteful. Their contrasting identities in this episode are apparent. Marcelli's lyrics in I'm Not Your Problem reveals much more of her frustrations after hundreds of years apart. Marcelli highlights that she does not see PB in the way that her citizens do. Like subjects to a god, Marcelli chastises Bubblegum for removing their intelligence. This can also be linked to Marcelli calling PB a dictator in her song, Woke Up.  Marcelli mentions how she genuinely believes that Bubblegum just doesn't like her and doesn't like being around her. Bubblegum refuses to change who she is, pointing out her morality and her immaturity, believing that she is not sweet enough for the princess of the vibrant and colorful Candy Kingdom. And later in the episode, she would go on to point out how Bubblegum wanted her to be perfect. In the second verse, Marcelli is so hurt that she even apologizes for her very existence. But despite it all, for some reason, the vampire still desires to be on good terms with the princess. She doesn't feel like she should be the one apologizing, but if that means being with Bubblegum again, she'll do it. This is just another relationship that she's confused by, similar to the one of her and her father's. However, after this, the two argue once again about Bubblegum's expectations of the vampire. Marcelli tearfully responds to their argument by spitting on Princess Bubblegum. Again, Marcelli has a hard time conveying her feelings, and she often resorts to harmful behaviors like shown here, running away, or her music, instead of communicating her issues. At the end of the episode, however, Princess Bubblegum reveals that she sleeps in the shirt that Marcelli gave her, which also has sentimental value for her. PB doesn't say it, but that gesture alone indicates that she feels similar to Marcelli. The fact that Marcelli hangs around the entire episode without having anything taken from her proves that she is ready to make amends, ending the episode and their relationship on better terms than before. The two end up growing from this episode, and their relationship turns a bit more positive in the following episodes we see them together. In the sky which we see that very shirt that Princess Bubblegum wakes up in, and takes a massive whiff of each morning, coupled with a picture of her and Marcelli taped her closet door that she sees every single day. The love and appreciation they have for each other has not faltered, and when the vampire asks for help, she knows that it must be important and PB accepts. To me, this is a big deal, considering how much significance Princess Bubblegum places on protecting and being there for the Candy Kingdom, so her choosing to help Marcelli over them says a lot. And through this episode, a small detail to note is how comfortable the two are together. The subtle moments where Marcelli holds on to Bubblegum's arm, how she whisks her away, and even the banter all feel familiar. These are two characters who are, despite their issues, very comfortable with each other. When Bubblegum finds out that it was all for the vampire queen to retrieve Hambo, she's displeased. Bubblegum, through all of their time spent together, still doesn't understand nor value the attachment that Marcelli has with Hambo, calling it a regular old teddy bear, and calling the bear replaceable, bringing Marcelli the tears. There is a lack of empathy from Bubblegum on this subject, in line with her logical, scientific, emotionally distant brain. However, she still decides to continue to help Marcelli, recognizing her friend's distressed state. Bonnebel redeems herself, trading her favorite t-shirt for Hambo, sacrificing it for Marcelli. Maja says that the shirt had more affection in it than Hambo. Throughout the series, Bubblegum makes tremendous strides as an individual, and in Pajama War, she recognizes how much her work has prevented her from simply existing, and she shows a desire to do more of that. Of course, after this, the Candy people would end up voting for the King of Oo over her to become leader of the Candy Kingdom. Following the loss of her kingdom, Marcelli and Bonne take center stage once more in environments. To continue on PB's growth, brushing shoulders with the death at the hands of the Lich in the second season, heightened Princess Bubblegum's iron grip on her kingdom. She would create Goliad as her future protector, her surveillance of the kingdom was beefed up, and her overall stress over her people increased. Her desire for control grew, her fear grew. But as it became detrimental to her, PB expressed her need to be more, quote, chill, as she rarely got the chance to step away from her people out of fear. Along with this, Bonnebelle expresses her desire to be less mean, again efforts to grow as an individual, but desiring to be more chill never meant losing her entire kingdom, and so she has to come to terms with not being in control environments. In this episode, Bubblegum holds it all together, until her unstable base comes crashing down. Beginning with Marcelline jogging her memory about the type of person she used to be, the type of fun they used to have. She sees herself in her handwriting, versus who she is now. As Marcelline calls her always prepared, she snaps. Bonnebelle sees how much she's changed, and how that change was essentially for nothing. Her relationships, her own personal identity, everything was sacrificed to the candy kingdom, and now it's all catching up to her. The varmins are just another thing she cannot control. At the beginning of this episode, she fears losing her pumpkin patch, just like she lost her home, her people, her hat, her family, and Marcelline. And Bonnebelle finally breaks down. She finally lets herself feel. But while she did shut everything and everyone out for her work, Marcelline just being there is Bonne's proof that not everything was lost, and that despite her failures, it doesn't fully reflect who she is as a person. Marcelline is the only person to whom PB could have exposed her feelings to. This is the first and only time in the series when we see Bonnebelle so honest and emotional.  Bubblegum is always taking care of others. She's always doing the caring, the protecting, the cuddling. It reminded me of the finale when Marcelline mentions how she was so worried every single day about Bubblegum whenever they were apart because she wasn't there to protect the princess. The very princess who wants to protect everyone else needs someone too. She too needs to feel protected, but the fact that she can finally be honest with herself, the fact that she can admit that she's crazy tired and that she needs rest and that she needs someone, is monumental growth. Bubblegum finally let Marcelline in, and the vampire queen is now someone she can rely on forever. Stakes plays a similar role, but this time for Marcelline, as Bubblegum becomes crucial for Marcelline's journey of growth and acceptance. She is the one who performs and helps her with the procedure of removing her vampirism and ultimately takes care of her every step of the way. PB calls Marcelline her best friend in this series, and we even see her cry when Marcelline is affected by her poison injury. Marcelline ultimately accepts her fate as the vampire queen, and her eight-episode journey helps her realize that although everything returns to its natural state in the grand scheme of things, that does not mean that things do not change. This idea of everything stays, a song and a story about change, to me, describes Marcelline and Bubblegum's relationship quite well. Bubblegum losing her kingdom or Marcelline becoming mortal, those were two aspects of their lives that have been reverted back to their natural state, just like the two of them are meant to be together, even though they were apart for a while. But with minor changes to who they are as people, and a dedication to each other, they are now able to make their relationship work. As Bonneville returns to her post, she becomes a much more relaxed leader, treating her citizens' individuality not with punishment, but with praise. Like she does with Banana Guard 16, in ketchup, in obsidian, and in the finale, Marcelline is much more willing to confront her complicated past and open up about her emotions. She's able to make these difficult choices for the people she loves. To me, this relationship makes the most sense in the little moments. In this post-apocalyptic world where nothing really makes sense, they are all trying every day to find their bearings and come to terms with this changing world, and come to terms with everything and everyone they've lost. In the midst of all that chaos, Marcelline and Peebee just want somebody to be by their side. They want someone who wears their favorite t-shirt, someone who carries strawberry lip balm. They want a shoulder to sleep on for just 15 minutes. And it's those moments of familiarity that I love the most. It's all the different nicknames Marcelline comes up with for Peebee. It's the fun banter, the constant physical touch. Marcelline's love language of touch is so clear, she's always holding on to Bonneville in some way, and bubblegum's his acts of service, embodied by how she will do anything for Marcelline. And hang out with the man she despises, and she'll even call him by the name Marcy wants her to. She'll go out and rescue a teddy bear for her. At the end of it all, these two characters have chosen love in an isolating land, and they have opened their hearts to all the possibilities. The land of ooh for both of them has been a lonely, lonely place. It has plagued both of their stories for so long. Centuries they've spent apart because of their differences. Centuries they've spent so much time searching for companionship, whether it was with humans, with Ash, because without her mother, without Simon, she had no one.  They've both been through their fair share of betrayal by people they thought loved them. So for them to choose love again and again, even after hurting each other and having been hurt by others, says a lot about these characters. Although staying in a cabin together for a few days is extra meaningful, even if it feels like mere seconds in the grand scheme of things, because those are the moments that they will never forget. As their story closes in Obsidian, we get a sneak peek of what life looks like. We get a look at the tiny sacrifices they've made for each other. Princess Bubblegum in this special is never seen interacting with the Candy Kingdom. She's dedicated a lot more time to simply being with Marceline. And Marceline, while of course not equal, usually sleeps floating, but now she's committed to sleeping in a bed, so she may sleep alongside Princess Bubblegum. In the actual episode, the two learn acceptance. For Bubblegum, it's in accepting Marceline's past and her traumas, recognizing that yes, Marceline ran away from her, but she never got angry or upset with Marceline, instead giving her space to grow, to come back to explain herself. And also, accepting that she doesn't always need to be the smartest person in the room or to fix everything. Marceline definitely makes it known to her that she doesn't need to be perfect, nor does she want her to. And for Marcy, in classic Marceline fashion, she writes a song to make sense of everything that she's been feeling. In Monster, she writes that she initially feared becoming vulnerable. She feared committing herself to a future with PB, because she still always feels like a monster. She is afraid that she will lose her edge. She fears the pain that love has burned her with time and again. But Princess Bubblegum has helped her accept that she is deserving of love. That she can be loved in the way that she needs.  She loves that she makes her soft. And she accepts her newfound vulnerability and tenderness, in exchange for the rage and the fear that she once had. I think it's so cool to see characters who are in theory so old, who've lived thousands of years, but who are still actively searching for ways to grow, to evolve, to heal. They are actively trying to be better to each other. They have forever to improve, but they choose the present to do so. Growth and healing is a lifelong journey.  Happy Valentine's Day.


Welcome to Digital Asset News. Take a top story in cryptocurrency and digital assets, and break them down into bite-sized pieces. Today, it's super red day, and I'm not going to lie a little bit tough, but there are some pieces of information to glean from what is going on. And we're going to take a look at potentially what could have caused this domino effect, China getting into the fray yet again. And we're going to see how it's a polar opposite to what is going on in the United States as the U.S. seems to be embracing things on certain bank levels and also on larger bank levels, such as Wall's Fargo, as this article just came out. We're going to take a look at just some musings that I think about what is going on in the market itself, the history of different aspects of the Internet and how it relates to today and how things actually have rebounded quite nicely. And then finally, we'll take a look at corrections, just how bad they can get. So we'll take a look at all that. But first, let's take a look at this awesome market and see exactly where we're at.  I'm here to be honest with you and here to tell you straight. And right now, not a great day. Let's just be honest.  We were just at almost 1.5 trillion. Now we're at 1.46. It's been fluctuating 1.36, 1.37. We lost about a trillion dollars in what? Two, three weeks? Trillion. So here we are. And it sounds awful and it is awful. Let's just be honest. And the reason why I titled this, You Should Sell, is because if this is too much for you and what you're doing, it probably should sell. Now that is not financial advice, it is financial opinion. For me personally, if I couldn't handle it, then I would be out of crypto because it is so volatile. And there's also another issue that has come up, which is people talk about, well, this is totally different because of institutions and blah, blah, blah. It's going to stabilize. Stop. Stop. As long as there is greed, and there is people who want to manipulate the markets and there are whales, it will never be different. It will always be the same. And this is just proof of that. So again, this is too much. And you think you should have sold? You should sell. Here's what we got. And I'm going to just show you what I'm going to do. And of course, your goals are not my goals. You're free to do what you want to. But I'll tell you today, still buying if I can get the darn apps to work. So we'll first talk about this. SmartCap is 1.46 trillion. And let's just do this for a little bit of hindsight later on when we move forward. I think in September, October, November, much different. But Bitcoin today is at below 34,000. They get slipped all the way to 32. And who knows and go to 28. That's what some of the TA people are saying. And I could see that definitely 28. The real question is you and all your friends are just me and all my friends who say that.  But how many of those people actually do buy? And that really comes down to it. Are you one of those people? You're not one of those people. And again, that probably comes down to this whole thing of you should sell. If Dips aren't your thing, then it's just not in the cards. And again, not here for Sunshine and everything else. And that's going to show you what we got. So Ethereum, well below the high of 4,000 at $2,300. Binance coin, I mean, just look at the percentage. Wow, 34% in 24 hours, 33, 30, 37 for Polkadot. 41% for Bitcoin cash, almost half. Wow, that's a lot. 20%, anything massive? 42% for VeChain. It's bad and the pie will get worse. That's just the truth. So let's just break into what's going on. So China, everybody's favorite country. Do not be a fan of, comes out and says, hey, looks like we're going to crack down on crypto. This is what's going on. And you've probably heard about this story. And I think since the market's open, not the markets, but I think it has really set in and people have really formulated the plan. I think there's a lot of things going on and play over there. Could be that, could be Elon Musk and his tweets, but they don't really do too much. This is the real new thing.  And that's going to be what it is. Who knows. This is what's going on for sure. Chinese regulators have tightened restrictions that ban financial institutions and payment companies from providing services related to crypto, making a fresh crackdown on digital coins. Fantastic. New rules expand on previous restrictions and the crypto and closed loopholes. This is the big thing. They closed the loopholes where people were actually able to transfer to actually pay crypto or trade between crypto to crypto. And they were doing that in China and they're trying to close that down. Let's see. This is going to include banks and online payment firms, not to offer clients any services involving crypto such as currency exchanges, registration, trading, clearing and settlement. So they're not going to be able to trade Bitcoin for Ethereum or B chain or tomato coin, whatever else. That's done. And they're going to try to crack down as much as possible. Can they do it? Well, they're China and they can do a lot of different things that different countries can't. So we'll see. Institutions were prohibited from providing crypto savings, trust or pledging services and issuing financial products related to crypto. Crypto related information services, insurance and derivatives trading are also banned. So pretty much as much as they can get their hands on and to stop, that's where they say they're closing loopholes. Firms were also urged to step up monitoring of money flows involved in crypto trading. I remember it is China. So that's what they want to do. China banking system does not accept crypto or provide relevant services. And then to finish up, Tuesday's industry directive, Warren speculative Bitcoin trading has had rebounded infringing the safety of people's property and disrupting the normal economic and financial order. So again, this is China coming down and saying, you know what, we're not going to allow this to keep happening and we don't want people's safety to get involved. So that's why they're like trying to get it. That's just one of the reasons why they're saying it. But I personally believe it's because the digital you want is coming out and the country wants to maintain control over all of its citizens in every way, shape and form. So how do you do that? Monetary policy and just going, hey, these cryptocurrencies, we're not going to let you do that. And we're going to do this. And that off you go. Many Chinese investors now trading on platforms owned by Chinese exchanges that had relocated overseas included Gobi and OKX. As over the counter market for crypto has become busy again, all once dormant trading chat rooms on social media have revived. And that was one of their issues. They're like, well, all this isn't going to revive. We got to shut these down. And that's what they're doing. Fresh crackdown makes it difficult for individuals to buy crypto using all these different payment platforms and could impact mine or his business by making it harder for them to exchange crypto for you on. And that is interesting to me. So as we talk about how everything people always talk about Bitcoin and the mining, there's so many different mining operations and it's like 60 or whatever percent it is that's mined in China. Well, guess what? If you're mining Bitcoin in China and that's what you're using to actual fund your operation, what do you do now? You can't sell it in your China. So you're going to shut down. These are interesting times. And this is pretty big. So let me just think about that piece. But it's just odd how one government is like, we're totally going away from this because we need to control it as opposed to the U.S. government, which I thought was falling behind. It's like, no, this was an article we've covered a couple weeks back under the U.S. banks to allow holding and trading Bitcoin. And this was all perpetrated or perpetrated, perpetuated by NY Digg. And they were trying to bring these banking institutions into the fold to go, look, we need someone to hold Bitcoin, trade Bitcoin, and allow your customers to use cryptocurrency, not just Bitcoin, but cryptocurrencies and assets because we want to help you guys thrive in the new economy. They're like, let's do it. That is what it's all about as far as innovation.  Let's go full tilt. Who's going to win that battle? Interesting to think I am glad I'm in this country. I can just tell you that. And this is actually new. This was just put out today, about a couple hours ago. Well, as far as become the way it is banking giant to make foray into crypto. And it's going to add its own crypto strategy for wealthy clients by mid June. And you know, once that starts, they're going to roll it down to the not so rich because they want to bring people in who are institutional investors or accredited investors so they can take more of the risk because it's a risky proposition, as we see today. Darrell Crunk, the president of Wells Fargo Investment Institute, claims that the bank now views crypto as a viable investment asset. We think crypto space has just kind of hit an evolution and maturation of its development that allows it now to be a viable investment asset. They're in the final stages of doing due diligence. So this is going to drop in about a month and a half, about a month. Yeah, a month and a half because it is May 19th and June's just around the corner. So hey, before I give them this next piece, as the market starts to crash, people say it's a dip and it's a retracement. No, no. That's more of a little bit of a crash. Let's just be honest. I don't care what you want to call it. It is what it is. So I mean, when you see something, when you see a trillion dollars in a couple of weeks, that's not just a slight pullback. That is big. And again, not here to show you the credit, but as I talk about things, I think this is where millionaires are made, quite honestly. And this is where I want to do most of my buying. I know it's a weird thing to switch your brain, but I think that's how it is. And I wrote this in Twitter. I said, hey, you're not a victim of circumstance. If today's dip makes you uncomfortable, you got to think for yourself, how can I make this work for me? We have never, ever had a dip that did not rebound. And don't tell me that you think that Bitcoin is going to zero. It's not going to zero. Crypto is going to zero. It's not going to be like this huge major, major crash where everything goes to like Bitcoin to 500 bucks or something like that. It's not going to happen. There are too many big players in the game, too many institutions getting involved for them to really rewind time. We knew China was going to do this. We knew China was going to be and go down this route. I'm just surprised I took them this long to say what it is. So I don't think that this will actually go away. I think there's, again, too many people coming in. These are the days that make millionaires. So again, take a look at everybody involved. If you got like a Wells Fargo, if you got a Mass Mutual, if you got a Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and all these different banks and big institutions coming in, do you think they're just going to be like, we're okay. I think this is just a bump in the road. And that's really what it comes down to. And then I'll say this. When people were telling me all day long that these institutions, I said, it was different, Rob. You don't understand. It's different because the institutions, the institutions are going to make everything great. They're going to stabilize the price of Bitcoin and altcoins as well. And you just don't understand. Nothing changes. Nothing changes. Sorry to tell you this. And I think that's why people are selling so much right now because they were disillusioned by the fact that that all these institutions would save them and it would be just not a big deal. But it is a big deal. And at some point, there are going to actually sell a little bit. I still think Tesla sold. I know they said that they didn't, but we'll see in the next earnings call. And that's just what it is. So this is really where the rubber meets the road. Maybe you should sell if you think that this is going to zero and it makes you uncomfortable. I like to say it's not financial advice, but for me, it is what it is. That's all I'll tell you. For me, I'm not selling. I'm actually buying. As soon as the Aston, I just write Coinbase, totally down. I just write Gemini, down. I just write Voyager, down. Everything's down today. And that's really what it comes down to. Down to. So let me blow this up so you can see it. Here's just a prime example of what I'm talking about. This was a newspaper article from quite a long time ago. These things called newspapers. And it talks about Internet may be just a passing, a passing fad as millions give up on it.  This is the future. And I was like, okay. And people just missed the boat on it. Then all that dot com, the companies came in and there was a big crash as everything kind of got filtered out. And then there was a big resurgence. And here we are. So if you take a look at what's going on back then to what is going now, it's the same thing. History just continues to repeat itself. And it's the people that I can tell you right now a lot of people would wish they could go back and invest into Google and hold it. Wish they could go back and invest in Amazon. Wish they could hold it. Wish they could go back and invest in Facebook or PayPal and they could just hold it because they would be so much better off.  For me personally, I think it would be the dumbest thing I could possibly do right now is to sell with what's going on. I just, I'm not in the business of losing money. I just think that it would be a travesty when I look at something like this or when I look at something like this, let me blow this up as well so you can see it. This was a nice little article which talks about Jeff Bezos when he gave a presentation at Harvard Business School. And they just said, hey, you seem like a really nice guy, so don't take it wrong. But you really need to sell the bonds of noble and get out now because it's a worthless business. And Jeff Bezos was like, okay, kid, well, I'm just going to keep doing what I do because I think Amazon's going to be huge because I have a vision for it. And then of course, what happened to that vision? Well, Amazon lost more than 90% of its price and it went down to almost nothing.  But guess what happens? It rebounds and it's in the top. It's like one of the five companies that makes up the top 20% or the top 20% of the S&P 500, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, and whatever, Apple. So I mean, right now, if you take a look at that, well, seems like kind of legit. But as time goes on again, I'm not selling. I don't see the point. And actually, I wish I could have gone back in time and bought Amazon when it was 90% off as part of the discount. And finally, well, two things finally, first of all, no one ever goes broke taking profits. And I remember when I sold a little bit of my Ethereum because I said that was my plan. My plan all along was to hit these price points, the dollar cost average in, wait till it goes up, dollar cost average out.  Why would you sell anything because the price is going to go so much? Because of days like this. Because of days like this, because we never know what's going to happen. So you should have a plan in place. But I'm never going to sell all of it. And I didn't even sell that much to begin with. But in all honesty, I mean, the majority, I still holding on to the majority of it. And it's because it's things like this, where I see as a refresher in my mind as far as history, about what went on. Let me blow this up as well. And this, maybe even better. So I take a look at this, the dips, the resets, all those things. You look at an average of 30 to 40%. This is in 2017, when things really were taken off. And you can see like right here, when is this? Right before April, you saw a big dip of almost 30%. And then look at this one, 40% right around the same time from June to the middle of July. And then it went up massively. And then another big dip of another 40% that came down. It's been a big up and down to 30%. And so on and so forth. So we know that this market is extremely volatile. So why is it shock anybody when we have like this much of a pullback? It's already priced in. I'm not pricing. It's already been in the history. We know it's going to happen. We know China, I knew China was going to pull this. And they should have pulled it a long time ago and said, we're not going to do this because we want to do the digital you want. I mean, people held out hopes that it's not happening. They're going one way. America on the rest of the world is going another way. And I personally believe the country, the entity, the institutions, whoever it is that controls two things will control the world, artificial intelligence and blockchain. Those two things are the key to the next industrial evolution. And those are just my two cents. So again, I don't want to beat a dead horse. But if this brightens you and it shouldn't be there, then you need to take a look at it. But if you take a look at the history and you see where things were, see things how they actually came about and the actual future that we can potentially have, there's another choice out there. I am not here to make that choice for you. It's up to you to make that choice and do your own research. And just remember that all this stuff I talk about, it's not investment advice, it's investment opinion. Me personally, I feel long haul and I think it's right place, right time. Now if the apps work, I'll probably buy some more crypto today. And that's it. So look, that's all I want to talk to you about today. Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it.

We know from the work of Drs. Ornish and Esselstyn that switching to a plant-based diet can reverse heart disease, open up arteries in some cases without drugs, without surgery. But because our first symptom of heart disease may be our last sudden cardiac death, it's best not to wait until atherosclerosis progresses that far. To predict the risk of dying from a heart attack, sure we can measure risk factors, such as cholesterol levels and blood pressure, but wouldn't it be nice to actually see what's going on inside our arteries before it's too late? Well, our imaging technologies are so good now that we can, but the required dose of radiation delivered to the chest is so high that a young woman getting just a single scan, for example, may increase her lifetime risk of breast cancer and lung cancer by between around 1 and 4%. Our carotid arteries, though, which connect our heart to our brain, come close enough to the surface in our necks that we can visualize their arterial wall using harmless sound waves with ultrasound. OK, so how do the arteries of those eating plant-based diets compare to those eating the standard American diet? Researchers found some vegans and found out. Here's the standard American diet group. This is the thickness of the inner wall of their carotid arteries, where the atherosclerotic plaque builds up, considered a predictor of all cause and cardiovascular mortality. That same inner layer was significantly slimmer in vegans, but so were the vegans themselves. Those eating the standard American diet were, on average, overweight, with a BMI over 26, while the vegans were a Trim 21. That's 36 pounds lighter, on average. So maybe the only reason those eating meat eggs and dairy had thickened arterial walls was because they were themselves overweight. Maybe the diet per se had nothing to do with it directly. To solve the riddle, one would have to find a group still eating the standard American diet, but as slim as a vegan. To find a group that fit and trim in our society, they had to use long-distance endurance athletes, who ate the same crappy American diet, but ran an average of 48 miles per week for 21 years. You run almost two marathons a week for 20 years, you can be as slim as a vegan, no matter what you eat. So where did they fall on the graph? Both the vegans and the conventional diet group were sedentary, a little less than an hour of exercise a week. The endurance runners were here. So it appears if you run an average of about a thousand miles a year, you can rival some couch potato vegans. It doesn't mean you can't do both, though, but it may be easier to just eat plants.


Hey curlfriends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today I've got more new curly hair products to try for you because I am your favorite guinea pig. Today we're going to be trying products by AG Hair Care. They're not a new brand but they have a new line for curly hair so obviously I had to try it.   I'm going to be trying all these for the first time for you today, I give you my first real impression. Today's video is sponsored by AG Hair Care so thank you for trusting me with this review because you know I'm going to give you the real deal and my subscribers want to know if you're worth it or not so you came to the right place. So without further ado let me show you how I spoiler alert got to this point right here and how I use these products in the shower.  This is a gentle ginger sulfate free shampoo and it smells very gentle and light, has a light ginger smell to it and this is of course sulfate silicone free. This shampoo is 98% plant based and naturally derived with pea peptide, vegan keratin and rice amino acids. It also has sunflower seed, tomato, olive leaf, linseed, sweet almond, peach, apple, apricot extracts to bring in that essential moisture helping to seal the cuticle and define each curl. You know like a nice shampoo that will lather and it definitely does that but this would be a great shampoo for on a day where you just need a light cleanse. Inside my shampoo I then grab the Curlfresh Conditioner. This conditioner also smells good too, I don't really know what it smells like, coconut avocado maybe if you mix those two things together but regardless it's very light none of these scents are overbearing. It also contains sunflower seed oils which are infused with mango seed butter with the luxurious creamy vegan and silicone free base. This also has the pea peptide, hydrolyzed quinoa, vegan keratin and rice extract that will help strengthen the curls with tomato, gooseberry, olive leaf, linseed and sweet almond extracts to once again seal in that moisture. So I was able to detangle with ease and then rinse it out. Okay fresh out the shower now I'm going to apply the third step in the three step system which is their styling product. The AG Haircare Curlfresh Definer silicone free soft hold. Eek! Don't panic, it's gonna be okay. We're trying new things right? Switch it up challenge. Soft hold styling cream, plant-based essential. Apply a small amount, we'll see about that. Help curls feel fresh and to find not crunchy, I don't mind a crunch or sticky with this vegan silicone free formula that is over 98% plant-based and naturally derived. This is very refreshing, this might be my favorite smell out of the three products Starting at the ends, working my way up. Does feel very very light. Oh it's good. A little bit more. You guys know better than to tell curly people to use a small amount. Which is not gonna happen. A little bit more on this side and scrunch. So because this is a soft hold cream, this is a very big switch up for me. You guys know I usually use very strong hold. I always use a gel. I haven't used just a cream styler in a long time. But when I do, I usually have very nice big hair. So I'm expecting big, beautiful, but still defined curls. We're just this one product. They called the right girl to try one product. You guys know that's me. But here we go. I don't know if I want a middle part, so I'm going to get the top, get the back. So all the curls get some love in. All right, product application is complete. Now I'm going to let it air dry for a little bit. I'm a little nervous to diffuse on a cream styler immediately because there's no cast. So I'm going to let it just dry as much as possible and then diffuse for more volume. So I'll be back and we're back and wow, I am very, very surprised. First of all, look at the length retention that I'm getting. It is keeping my curls stretched. That's a big deal. And there's actually a hold. Reading soft hold made me really nervous and I thought it might be like too soft. But I am getting a hold and a cast and that's what you need. So this almost feels like the same as a gel, but it's a cream. So I'm very, very impressed. I love when a cream can give you gel like results because you're getting that moisture from the cream, but the hold like a gel. So I'm a happy girl, but now let's break the cast and get some volume. So going to fluff it all to one side, scrunch it, maybe do some diffusing and see how much bigger I can get these curls. But I know we're off to a good start and I'm feeling confident. I do want to note that that cream also dried pretty quickly, which is really good for day one because my day one hair usually takes forever. So I like that it created that cast, but it is a little damp at the roots. So I'm going to diffuse and see how big my hair can get. One product, just one right up my alley. I love when you don't need a lot. I'm getting better at adding, you know, new things to my routine and having multiple products, but I'm always going to love that you can get away with just one respect. Let's get a close-up of these curls. Look at them, look at that shiny, very, very impressed. Oh, I love having more products that I can recommend to you guys overall. So, so impressed by the curl, fresh definer for sure vegan cruelty free plant based essential silicone free beyond grenade approved. I don't know why I always get nervous anytime I use just a cream styler now or anything that says soft hold, but I always love my volume after like almost every time. And this is day one hair. My hair is only going to get bigger throughout the week, so it's going to look even better tomorrow and the next day. And I can use this to refresh because it doesn't get like too hard or crunchy to where it's hard to break the cast, even though I'm going to get rid of that, but I'm impressed. So if you want to try any of the AG hair care products, I'll put a link in the description box. Make sure you guys check them out. Let me know what you think. And if you are looking for a vegan plant based product line, search no more. If you enjoyed today's video, make sure to give me a thumbs up and subscribe. I post new videos every week.

Hello, my name is Ernesto Rodan Valadez, I am a diagnostic radiologist and clinical investigator at the MRI unit of Medica Sur Clinic and Foundation. Hi, my name is Jesus Martínez Sander, I am a senior resident of neurosurgery at the National Institute of Neurology and neurosurgery at Mexico City, and I am a professor of anatomy at the National University of Mexico. Hi, my name is Dr. Roberto Poronatedillo, neurobiologist at Medica Sur Clinic and Foundation. We would like to invite you to read our review paper about cranial nerves. We suspect that in their early years some medical students and residents avoid the difficulties of cranial nerves because of their complex anatomy. However, there is a broad community of health science professionals interested in the anatomy of cranial nerves. There are specialists in neurology, neurosurgery, radiology, otolaryngology, oftalmology, maxillofacial surgery, radiation oncology and emergency medicine. And also related fields, nurses, physician assistants, students and practitioners of dentistry, pathology, audiology, physical and health education and rehabilitation science. During the last two decades advances in neuroimaging using high resolution computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have enabled to brain structures to be visualized in highly detailed ways that now enable normal findings and nervous system pathology to be detected in a day to day basis. In this manuscript we integrate the perspectives of radiologists and neurosurgeons to provide a practical imaging review combining the use of 128 slice dual source multi-panel images from CT systemography with 3T MRI. For each cranial nerve we present information regarding origin, course, function and a brief listing of the most common pathologies and syndromes affecting them. In view of the copies available data about these structures the scope of this article is focused on clinical anatomy and readers will find specialist texts presenting more detailed information about particular topics. The final goal of our manuscript is to provide helpful reference to understanding the complex anatomy of the cranial nerves.


Everybody should strive to live a few different lives in one life. You'll be happier that way. I've lived different lives in one life. There's been a time I had less assets and less going on. And I lived less disciplined life, more chill life. And then my life now where I have a lot of responsibility, own a lot of stuff. Now my life's like hyper disciplined down to like 15 minute increments. Now sometimes I'll wake up at 4.45. So I have six hours before my company meeting at 10.45. I do my leader meeting at 10.45 to 11.15 where I have all my leaders around the world on Zoom that work for me. And then I do take a five minute break and I go 11.15 to 12 where I have the retail people who work for me. So like depends a stage of life. And there's things that I like about this life better than I liked about the super chill life. And that was a good, valid way to live.

Meanwhile, the special education sector is benefiting from an array of assistive devices and materials which will facilitate and enhance the instructional process and support systems for special learners on the island. Chris Satney has more in this report. Educational services to the population of special school learners require alternative resources and inputs to effect adequate learning and learner development as the services required are significantly different from that of the general student population. Differences exist in the functional abilities of students, their impairment status and the curriculum to be accessed. The assistive devices handed over at a ceremony held Monday according to Education Officer for Special Education Dale Sages will assist special education centres on the island in addressing issues including student assessment for special education needs, student mobility, hearing impairment, speech impairments, disorders along the autism spectrum, accessibility to learning resources, rehabilitation of impaired functions and the ability to better control and interact with their human and physical environment. So they need stimulation, they need therapy, they need sensory regulation. These are not issues that can be resolved by a teacher standing in front of a classroom or by a laptop and a screen. So it is very important for us that we have these devices to support the targeted needs of these children. The assistive devices were supplied by the Education Quality Improvement Project equipped of the Department of Education, Innovation and Vocational Training with support from the Caribbean Development Bank. Project coordinator of Equip Marie Grace O'Gees says the idea to procure the assistive devices came from a fact-finding mission undertaken in 2019 at two special ed centres in Trinidad and Tobago by special education personnel to witness first-hand the practices that made those two facilities successful at providing care to their TNT clientele with special needs. The assistive objective was to observe and to assess facilities, programmes, services and to select best practices that could be assimilated into or adapted to the inclusion context. In the interest of developing an education sector that is more inclusive of special eds, special needs education and that is student focused. The special education sector has applauded the efforts of the Equip team in not just providing the assistive devices but to develop a pilot project that will test the use of the devices at two local institutions which provide support to children with special needs. It's wonderful to give everyone the same thing but that does not necessarily scratch away the itches. And so what Equip is doing is really putting the fingernails where the itches are and giving us that satisfying scratch ensuring that our children with special needs have their unique and targeted needs addressed. Chief Education Officer Cyrus Sipal says government is steadfastly committed to the transformation of St. Lucia's education sector so that it is more inclusive and responsive to the needs of students, teachers, parents and the wider society. We at education we will continue to support the holistic development of every child. And when I say every child I mean those who need the attention and those probably who already excel in and they just need now that extra support that they will continue to excel. There is a philosophy that I subscribe to very much. If the child does not learn the way that you are teaching him or her, teach him or her the way that he or she will learn and this is what we are seeing here. The pilot phase of the project will be undertaken at two special needs centers including the Lady Gordon Opportunity Center and the Sufra Special Ed Center. From the communications unit of the Ministry of Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training, I am Chris Satney reporting.


For more videos on people's struggles, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. Hello and welcome to People's Dispatch. On December 9th and 11th, the two houses of Indian Parliament passed the very controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019. Now what this bill does is give six religious communities – Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, Jains and Buddhists – and refugees from these communities exemption from the status of illegal migrant if they arrived in India before December 31st 2014. Now this bill explicitly does not include the Muslim community and thus introduces a religious component to the application for citizenship in India which has never happened before. This process is also connected to the concept of the National Registry of Citizens which would involve verifying the citizenship of those living in India. To talk more about these issues, we have with us Prabir Purghasa. Hello Prabir. Prabir, so the government is pointing out that this is a humanitarian move, that members of these six religious communities who are persecuted in three countries – that is Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan – will get safe haven in India. So it's being placed as some sort of symbol of India's compassion and humanity. So how do you respond to this claim? You know, first is that you've created a problem where none existed. Nobody has said that people from these countries or any other country for the matters cannot get refused in India. Therefore the real issue is why do you need this Citizens Amendment Bill today? And that has happened because in Assam, particularly in northeast of which Assam is a part, that there was what is called the National Registry of Citizens that is being attempted, which had this idea that we will identify those who are citizens and those who are not citizens and have come from Bangladesh. Now that was basically the issue which is now being sought to be extended to all over India. The threat that has been held out repeatedly that we'll have a National Registry of Citizens. So you are going to ask people to prove they are citizens. Now the Assam process saw that about 190,000 people – 1.9 million, sorry – the Assam process saw or the northeast process saw Assam being the major state there, there are 1.9 million people were found to not have enough documentary evidence they are citizens of India. So they became quote-unquote non-citizens. What will happen to them? A small section of them are lodged in detention camps and some of them have been there for now five years. So are we going to do that to nearly 2 million people? Is that the proposal? So who are they? A lot of them are actually found to be not Muslims, the one who really are the targets of the ruling government. They are found to be also other communities including the largest numbers probably being actually Hindus. So therefore the Citizens Amendment Bill that everybody else will get citizens except the Muslims. Now I think the bigger issue is that the Citizens Amendment Bill therefore is something which tries to then take into account that you will start a citizenship process by which people who are already in India will have to prove they are citizens. So the first time we are being asked to prove that we are indeed citizens and there is a whole lot of things that go behind that but essentially it is not the task of the Indian government to say that you are an illegal immigrant. It is my task to show that I am not an illegal immigrant. Therefore I am a legal bona fide citizen of India. Therefore the reversal of proof is taking place and since the reversal of proof in a country which we have to show you are a citizen by 1971, the bulk of India's population is born after 71. So they have to show the parents were citizens before they had been in India before 71. So all of this in a country where 80% of the people really do not have proper documentation and particularly if you take older people it would also mean that a huge number of people will not be able to prove their citizens. So then the argument is don't worry if you are not a Muslim it would affect you because retrospectively we will give you citizenship under the citizen's amendment bill. Of course then since I don't have papers I would have to then show that I came from these three countries and I would also have to show that I was a refugee and I was persecuted over there and then claims citizenship. So if I can't even find papers to prove that I was here in 71 or my parents were here before 71, what chance do I have to show that I was in one of the three countries and I came seeking citizenship? Who is keeping these papers 60, 70 years after you have arrived if you did arrive even as a refugee? So I think this whole process comes from this idea of citizen and non-citizen not on the basis of the territorial limits within which you live but based on what your identity is, are you a Muslim? Are you a Hindu? And essentially this citizenship based on identity not on the country border within which you live is as we know is familiar. This is what Nazi Germany did. This in fact is even older if you see for instance in the United States where the African-American community were supposed to be freed from slavery but under segregation lost most of their rights and including voting rights. So the segregation, the Nazi Germany are all examples of what happens when a certain set of people are declared non-citizens in different ways and I think what you see is really coming from that mindset. However stupid that mindset is in the kind of plans it is doing but I don't think this is even a workable proposition even if the intention is fascist which probably it is but even doing this is it doesn't seem to be an exercise which makes any kind of sense except dividing the country and country going up in flames which we now see in the Northeast. And experts have pointed out that the economic costs of such a national registry of citizens would be even larger than the country's education and health budgets or for that matter even the defence budget. But one of the key issues here basically is that the government is going all out to declare that Muslim citizens of India don't have to worry and this is not an attempt to strip them of citizenship. But what is the kind of message that is implicitly being conveyed to the Muslim community especially Muslim community of India especially with this bill? You know people are not fools this assumption that they can be fooled again and again is the Waterloo shall we say of rulers.  Now unfortunately people are not and the fact that the CB has produced this kind of reaction what exactly what would not have happened if it was to only see the letter of the law. That makes clear that whether it's liberal sections of Indian population it's the minority communities also common people are realising that this is a path of a much larger agenda and this talk about nothing to fear I'm sure Hitler would have said it a number of times also before he came to power.  So all of these are if we should not take them as face value people have understood why when this is going to so it's quite it's quite heartening at one level to see the reaction we are seeing on the ground that on the ground this talk of the government of the Home Minister the Prime Minister the leaders of this government the BJP government none of this is really cutting much ice people have already made up their mind that this is segregation it is to divest people of the citizenship it is directed at the minority community and the irrespective of the cost of this this government is doing it because they still believe in the two nation theory that Muslims of one nation the Hindus should have a Hindu nation this is where it's really coming from as you know apart from the Christians this kind of Hindu identity based politics which we call Hindutva in India this Hindu supremacist kind of policies regard six Buddhists Jains as also as Hindus so Christians they have been little more lax because they think you have need to make up with America and so on so the US being a Christian nation which of course the the constitution may not say so but in practice it is seen to be one that therefore we should go really soft on the Christians anyway Christians are the small section in the Indian population so the target is really Muslims and all sections of the Indian people understand it BJP's game plan is because it's anti-Muslim and people know it is therefore they will do the World Bank mobilization that the Hindus rally behind them based on the fact that they are going to isolate the Muslims and they will I don't know whether they will how they plan to deal with the number of people who will be declared non-citizens out of it because apart from the cost you know the NRC took 20 years before it even came to fruition in one state in one state you're going to do it across the country and that scale even apart from the huge cost that will incur the process is going to tear apart the social framework of this country for 20 to 30 years all the people will focusing on citizenship and that is a road which as I said people have understood BJP's miscalculation is it thinks that it can really get the Hindu masses behind them because both sides understand the direction of where this is going so I think that's the calculation they have.  But we do see one thing that the BJP government and the far right Prime Minister Narendra Modi who was elected in 2014 came back with a stronger majority in 2019 and one of the promises was the Citizenship Amendment Bill and after coming to power for a second time it's been Hindutva and steroids. There's been a number of policies which have actually reiterated that direction we've been talking about. So what do you see as the possibilities for resistance at a time when at least electoral results seem to indicate that this strategy may be working. See let's also start calling it what it is. It's Hindu supremacists. This is what this politics is all about and this is what you called Hindutva or steroids. Now you know the question that all of us have to think it is not that this policy will lead to a failure in the sense that people will desert the policy, people will turn against the policy. I think it's already turning to happen but let's take the best case scenario for Hindu supremacists and that would be that we fracture the country. Now if we fracture the country of the lines that the BJP thinks it will fracture, Hindus on one side and the Muslims on the other and therefore they will gain the World Bank politics advantage that they are seeking. What it doesn't realize is that India has many more fractures. It is ethnic fractures as we are seeing in the northeast. It is fractures of other kinds of identities apart from religious identities, linguistic identities. It has even sub-national identities or we could call it supra-linguistic identities like double identity for instance. So all of these identities will also or can also surface. So what you would get is really in India fractured on multiple lines. And I am very, very hopeful that CAB NRC process is going to test the Indian national fabric. What metal we have as citizens of this country? What is the constitution we have? What are the constitutional values we have? But I think Indian citizens will take to the streets or use other forms by which they will defeat this kind of rupture that the BJP government is making. I think that we are actually facing a different turning point that today and that turning point will crystallize with this attempt to call for two kinds of citizenship on Indian people. One who are really fully citizens, others who are citizens by sufferance or non-citizens. Thank you so much Rubir. That is all we have time for today. Keep watching People's Dispatch.

Hi, I'm Dean Perine, Executive Vice President at JSA, and I'm here with Monique Lan-Patit. Monique is the Director of Telcom Sands Frontiers. Monique, thanks for joining us. Thank you very much, Dean. We understand that your partnerships with the private sector are very important to TSM. Could you explain to the viewers a little bit more about that and why those private sector partnerships are important? Corporate partnerships are part of the very essence of TSM, especially at the beginning of our operation 20 years ago. Telecommunication in humanitarian response were not considered a priority. Who better than private sector companies working in the technologies and telecommunications sector could understand the importance of using these tools for humanitarian assistance and back out our vision. This is exactly what happened. Since the very beginning, we started close collaboration with global leaders in their respective domains, mainly from the satellite and the mobile communication sectors. Throughout the years, we developed this relationship and started new ones, convening technical collaborations, strong human relationships and our humanitarian field experience to be able to assist the most vulnerable. Today, we are particularly proud to have new and long-standing partnerships who share our vision, trust, and allow us to be independent. TSM is more than just providing financial support to humanitarian NGO. It is about supporting at least 100 humanitarian organizations and more than 300,000 vulnerable people every year. And it's about committing to a vision of the world in which technology and telecommunications brings protection, relief, hope, and a solid base of brighter future where human-made and natural disaster removed all hopes. We are incredibly lucky to have fully committed to our vision.
