I am George Cao. In today's short video, I'd like to share with you an inspirational quote from the great Helen Keller. She became blind in death shortly after she was born, and yet she lived such a productive and inspirational life. She was a hero to many people with her writings and her lectures and her political activism. So even as a blind and deaf person, she was able to accomplish so much and became a hero to so many that I hope you'll listen to this quote and let it inspire you on to even greater things. Here it goes. Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the successes that may come tomorrow. You have set yourself a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere. And you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles, a delight in climbing rugged paths that you perhaps would never know if you sometimes did not slip backward if the road was always smooth and pleasant. Remember no effort that you make to attain a beautiful goal will ever be lost. Sometime, somewhere, somehow, you will attain and you will experience that which you have sought to experience. Now, I did paraphrase that a little bit at the end, so you may want to look up that quote for the exact wording. But as I'll share from my own perspective, as someone who has been working for myself for seven years as an entrepreneur, it's not easy. And that quote has been such an inspiration to me whenever I come across it again. And it's so true. If you do not quit along the goal and the road, if you do not quit along the road to your vision, you will succeed if you persevere. Remember that perseverance means that you will have to try different things. But remember that the road along to that goal is itself worthwhile. The climbing of the rugged path, the uncertainty you'll come across, the confusion that you'll have that you'll continue to work through, try different things and you'll find clarity. The overwhelm you'll sometimes experience and you'll just sometimes have to take a breath and just say, okay, what's the next thing I can do? All these things are increasing your abilities. All these things are growing your muscles of perseverance, of self-belief, of courage. So keep going and don't quit. Try different things and you will succeed. No effort that we ever make to attain that which is beautiful is ever lost as Helen Keller said. Until the next video, I wish you joyful perseverance.


In this video, I will identify the muscles that move the acetabulophimoral joint and list the origin, insertion, and action of the major muscles that move the acetabulophimoral joint. Here with a posterior view, the muscles that move the acetabulophimoral joint or hip joint, we see the most superficial muscles in the gluteal region have been cut to allow us to see the deeper muscles of the gluteal region, but we'll start by going through the muscles that have been cut. Gluteus maximus is one of these muscles. We can see the origin attached along the sacrum and coccyx and ilium of gluteus maximus, and then you can see on the other side. See its origin is all along here for gluteus maximus, and then the insertion for gluteus maximus we can see down here on the femur at the gluteal tuberosity. The action of gluteus maximus is to extend the acetabulophimoral joint or to lateral rotate the acetabulophimoral joint. And so the acetabulophimoral joint commonly referred to as the hip joint, the femur is extended or lateral rotated at that acetabulophimoral joint by the large superficial muscle, the gluteus maximus. Now, just deep to gluteus maximus and slightly anterior is the gluteus medius, which has also been cut in this image, but again I'll highlight here its origin along the crest of the ilium. And then its insertion is onto the greater trochanter of the femur. The actions of gluteus medius are to abduct or medial rotate the acetabulophimoral joint. Deep to gluteus medius is gluteus minimus, another muscle that performs abduction, abduction, and medial rotation of the acetabulophimoral joint. Inferior to gluteus minimus, here we see piriformis. Piriformis is a muscle that performs lateral rotation of the acetabulophimoral joint. There are several more muscles that perform lateral rotation that we can see from this view. There is a group of three muscles collectively known as the triceps coxae, which includes the superior gemellus, the obturator internus, and the inferior gemellus. So the superior gemellus, obturator internus, and inferior gemellus all perform the action of lateral rotation. And then deep to the triceps coxae group or just anterior to the obturator internus is this obturator externus. Another muscle that performs lateral rotation of the acetabulophimoral joint. Now inferior to the obturator externus is quadratus femoris. So quadratus femoris is a rectangular shaped muscle, quadratus means rectangular shape, so quadratus femoris is this rectangular shaped muscle that also has the action of lateral rotation of the acetabulophimoral joint. And so while gluteus, medius, and gluteus minimus performed medial rotation, gluteus maximus piriformis superior gemellus, obturator internus, inferior gemellus, obturator externus, and quadratus femoris all perform lateral rotation of the acetabulophimoral joint. Next we can see the adductor group. There's adductor magnus, adductor longus, and adductor brevis that are forming the adductor group of muscles that perform the action of adduction of the acetabulophimoral joint. Similarly the gracilis is a muscle that performs adduction of the acetabulophimoral joint. And gracilis is a thin muscle located along the medial side of the femoral region. It's a superficial muscle forming the medial side of the femoral region. So the origin of gluteus maximus is the posterior of the ilium, the sacrum, and the coccyx. The insertion of gluteus maximus is the gluteal tuberosity of the femur. And the action of gluteus maximus is to extend or lateral rotate the acetabulophimoral joint. The origin of gluteus medius is the crest of the ilium, and the insertion of gluteus medius is the greater trochanter of the femur. The action of gluteus medius is abduction or medial rotation of the acetabulophimoral joint. The origin of piriformis is the sacrum, the insertion of the piriformis is the greater trochanter of the femur, and the action of piriformis is lateral rotation of the acetabulophimoral joint. Now here we have a deep anterior view of muscles that perform flexion of the acetabulophimoral joint. The psoas muscle group, the psoas major is the largest of the psoas muscles, but there's also a psoas minor. Our muscles that share an insertion with the iliacus. So the iliacus and the psoas muscles together are commonly referred to as the iliosoas muscle group. The iliosoas muscle group includes the iliacus as well as the psoas, and they insert together onto the femur at the lesser trochanter. To perform that action of flexion of the acetabulophimoral joint, flex the femur at the hip. The origin of psoas major is the lumbar vertebrae, and see from the bodies and transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae, then the insertion of psoas major is the lesser trochanter of the femur, and the action is to flex the acetabulophimoral joint. The origin of the iliacus is the iliac fossa. The insertion is shared with psoas major at the lesser trochanter of the femur, and the action is to flex the acetabulophimoral joint. Finally, in the lateral femoral region, we can see tensor fascia latte. Tensor fascia latte is a muscle that performs abduction of the acetabulophimoral joint. The muscle inserts into a long band of connective tissue, the fascia on the lateral aspect of the femoral region, known as the iliotibial band, or IT band. Tensor fascia latte causes an increase in the tension of the fascia on the lateral aspect of the femoral region, the iliotibial band, the IT band. Now, moving medially, we can see pectinus is a muscle that performs abduction, the opposite action from tensor fascia latte. Pectinus is a synergist with the adductor group, including adductor longus that we can see located just medial to pectinus. Adductor magnus is the largest of the adductor group, and most of adductor magnus is located deep to the other muscles that we see in this illustration. For example, the gracilis is superficial to adductor magnus along the medial aspect of the femoral region, and gracilis is another muscle that performs abduction of the acetabulophimoral joint. A superficial muscle that we see coming diagonally across the anterior femoral region is sartorius. Sartorius gets its name from the posture of sitting cross-legged that a person would sit cross-legged while they are stitching seams, and a sartor is a person who does that work of sewing to make clothing. A sartor makes clothing sitting cross-legged traditionally, and sartorius is a muscle that performs the actions of lateral rotation, flexion, and abduction of the acetabulophimoral joint. Lateral rotation, flexion, and abduction are all actions needed in order to move into a cross-legged position. Similarly, sartorius does insert onto the tibia to be able to flex the knee joint to have action of flexing the knee joint, which would be another part of this motion to sit cross-legged. Although I'm focused now on the muscles that are moving the acetabulophimoral joint, the hip joint, some of these muscles can also have action at the knee joint. Sartorius and gracilis are both examples of muscles that perform flexion of the knee joint. However, sartorius performs abduction, the opposite action, abduction is the opposite action of gracilis, which performs abduction of the acetabulophimoral joint. The origin of sartorius is the anterior superior iliac spine, then the insertion of sartorius is the medial condyle of the tibia, and the actions of sartorius include lateral rotation, flexion, or abduction of the acetabulophimoral joint. The origin of gracilis is the inferior pubic ramus, the insertion of gracilis is the medial condyle of the tibia, and the action of gracilis is adduction of the acetabulophimoral joint. Here we have a deep view showing us the adductor group, the adductor brevis is the smallest and most superior we see here in this view, then just inferior and medial to adductor brevis we see adductor longus. The adductor posterior to adductor longus, this very large muscle adductor magnus, and so the adductor group performs the action of adduction at the acetabulophimoral joint. Adductor magnus has an origin from the ischial tuberosity, has its insertion on linea aspera of the femur, and performs the action of adduction at the acetabulophimoral joint. Adductor longus has its origin from the body of the pubis on the anterior surface of the body of the pubis, and has its insertion on the linea aspera right next to adductor magnus, and its action is to adduct the acetabulophimoral joint.


What's up guys welcome to today's vlog so on the vlog what we're going to be focusing on is a bob haircut now this bob haircut I like because it's got a ton of layers a ton of texture we go in we do a lot of point cutting at the end and also we create these hard lines throughout the entire cut we create a nice hard fringe same thing in the back so I'm going to show you guys techniques on how to create those hard lines during the dry haircut so hope you guys like this video let me know in the comments below if you have any questions let's get started. Alright guys so I'm going to start off the cut by brushing back the mannequin or your guest hair and I'm using my Ergo diamond head brush this is a brand new brush that we have on freesaloneducation.com and the thing that I love about this why this is my new favorite brush is because I always love using a paddle brush because I love the tension I love how it detangles but the Ergo diamond head brush is a smaller version of a paddle brush so I use that it's great to get through the hair it's great for medium to shorter length hair so my sectioning is very simple for this cut I go straight down center all the way down center back to the nape then I go from mid crown down to behind the ear with a slight diagonal forward parting and then I go from the occipital bone down to behind the ear so basically creating three different pie shaped sections throughout the head and what this is going to do is just it keeps everything sectioned off and organized for me as I move forward in the cut this is going to be a very fundamental cut so thing I really love about it is that you're going to get a lot of basics out of this cut but then also we're going to do some advanced stuff at the end to help detail it and finalize it so now we're going to talk about tension there's no over direction here the tension is nice and light with my fingers but I'm pulling it straight out from the head and cutting it at basically a 90 degree angle now that might confuse some of you guys out there but we're taught in school that straight at this point right at the occipital bone that when we hold our fingers like that we're creating a 45 degree angle but in the reality the occipital bone tucks down into the nape so when it tucks down like that it actually forces my finger angle to be at 90 degrees so I get more of a layered effect at this point so that's why some people when they're going through and they're cutting the hair they see that they get that layered effect and then it stacks really heavy right after the occipital bone well we're gonna correct that in this cut also I'm pushing weight forward so I'm over directing everything to that very first parting that we did so you'll see in the overhead view everything's being over directed to this center so we're pushing almost like an a-line feel or triangular depends on how you learned it but we're pushing that weight right to behind the ear now the other thing that I want you guys to be aware of and something that made me nervous when I first started cutting hair was as I cut this you're gonna see kind of a fringier area a little bit of extra length right at the nape I think it's cool to go in and cut your weight out first and then draw that line in the dry cut so I'm not worried about getting that hard line on the base right away I want to get it in the dry cut so then I can determine what length I actually want when I go in to cut it another thing that I've shifted and we talk about this in multiple times in multiple different haircuts but if you just started following the channel I'm combing the hair differently so the on the left side my fingers are pointing up and I'm pulling the hair into my hand on the right side my fingers are pointing down and the reason for that is to stay consistent with your combing talk about it all the time combing is what makes you a great hair cutter it's not about cutting the hair off so you can see my fingers are pointing down and I'm scooping the hair into my hand towards the center of the head and I want to make sure I keep that consistent on both sides now the other thing is we're starting to build up weight now so we were cutting at 90 degrees from the occipital bone down to the nape but now that we're at the occipital bone up to the crown I keep that same finger angle and now I start to build up weight now I think what really separates great hair cutters from not so great hair cutters I guess I'm not not so great but hair cutters that just aren't fully understanding or thinking about what they're doing with the weight you want to make sure that there's a balance of the weight on the head shape so when I'm looking at this mannequin for instance I look at where do I want that weight to fall I want the weight to fall right above the occipital bone I wanted to start building up there that's going to give her the most flattering look for her head shape and that's really the key to a great haircut it's not about just being precise it's not about getting the angles right it's about where you're distributing weight in the head on the head not in the head okay so now we're going still straight down center back now you'll see my fingers pointing straight up and I'm cutting my line sticking with my guideline from the center so I grab a little bit of guide and then I move myself to the side still over directing everything to the center back the other thing you might notice is that I'm holding my scissor a little bit different the reason that I hold my scissor this way is it's just more comfortable than kinking my wrist to try to cut palm to palm so I shift I put my thumb in the opposite direction of the scissor and it just makes it more comfortable for me that doesn't mean that you should do that it just means that's what I like to do so if you would like to try it go ahead I think that it gives me more consistency and it also as I've been cutting hair for more and more years I like to keep my wrist as straight as possible when cutting these different haircuts so we're going through still over directing everything to the center now you got to think about why you're over directing everything to the center what's happening is we're pushing maximum amount of weight a ton of weight to behind the ear the reason I'm doing that is because later I'm going to go in and create a ton of texture and start cutting some layers in there but I want a lot of hair to play with the other thing that you're going to notice is when this hair starts to drop you may see a slight hole is what they teach you in beauty school that it's a hole it's not a hole because we're going to go through and cut the perimeter later what you're seeing is the difference is in the outer perimeter of the haircut some of the hair is not going to reach all the way down there so just stay consistent with the interior part of the cut focus on that where you want that weight to be and then your outer perimeter is just the decoration for the end of the cut so still working the same thing another thing to take notice of when I'm cutting above I'm shifting the head constantly a question came up in a class that we just did recently there was a hands-on class the question was if I shift my guess head what does that do to the haircut it does absolutely nothing to the haircut a lot of people talk about well if you shift your head down you're going to get a different look than if the head is pointed up the reason you get a different look is because when you shift the head it shifts your your elevation it changes the thoughts in your mind I right now have the head straight up and down because as I'm cutting that makes me the most comfortable then there's some cases at the very beginning where I tell her head forward because that makes it more comfortable for me to get the angle that I was looking for the more comfortable you are the more consistent you'll be is something that I say all the time within haircutting because you want to be comfortable because the more comfortable you are then you'll you'll have consistent lines you'll be able to find your guide you'll be able to find all that so staying nice and organized throughout the cut so you can see now that I've worked my way all the way up to the top of the crown if you went straight off the top of the head the apex part that had the highest point if I went straight up that would be 90 degrees right so that top point where the tip of my finger is is actually sitting at zero degrees which is a little bit heavier so that's gonna be my heaviest point that's the point that I want to hit right at the occipital bone to help kind of a scent accentuate the nice shape of the head you can see how it kind of bulks out right there and that's why and that's where I want it to be some people you might want to put that a little bit lower some people don't have that occipital bone area as prominent so what you'll do is you can build that weight line up a little bit and make the illusion of a nice occipital bone or a nice head shape you can see that weight pushing forward and again we're gonna go in and layer it so right now I'm creating a more fundamental haircut this is a cut that you probably learn in beauty school and then we're gonna go through and we're gonna detail and that's what's gonna change it I think the challenge with haircutting is that a lot of people learn these fundamentals they don't learn the tricks to do in the dry cut to make it their own so you see people walking around with these fundamental unfinished cuts so that's what I really want to focus on that at the very end so there you go lots of weight pushed to the front we're not gonna leave all that weight there but it's nice to push things to have hair to cut later so somebody said a long time ago I don't know who it was but they said you know it's not about the hair you cut off it's about the hair that you leave on what I take from that is it is about the hair that you leave on if I push weight to the front I need to know why I'm pushing it there and how much weight am I pushing right now like I said we're pushing a maximum amount of weight so now then I can go in at the end of the cut and layer it and have a lot of fun with it create a lot of texture so I'll have plenty of hair to work with I don't need to go in and take those layers out right now because sometimes it's more fun to do that in a dry cut because you can be a little more precise with how much texture you want to put in sometimes when you cut wet the hair bulks together kind of sticks together and then you're cutting more bulk out than you even want to and you get chunkier looking layers when you cut dry hair it spreads out it gets softer so that's one of the things I like about dry hair cutting is being able to go in there and just really customize and fine-tune the haircut so this is finishing up the precision point of the cut now I'm gonna go in with the Paul Mitchell mirror smooth high gloss primer thing I love about this product is it's definitely lightweight so when I'm putting in the hair I'm looking for that shine I'm not looking for much hold I just want the smoothness of the product so you're gonna see how shiny it gets right away I'm also using the ergo diamond paddle brush and I just work the product into the hair I'm using a flat wrapping technique which is basically molding the hair to the head shape and then I use the Paul Mitchell Express style hot off the press I love this product for this is definitely one of my all-time favorite heat protectant products because it goes on dry it's not a wet spray and then it has a nice little medium hold and so you get the hair nice and smooth but also get that protection it's also great those of you guys out there that maybe aren't hairdressers get us getting inspired by the video it's great for not only protection but also it's humidity resistant so in those hot summer days you can put it on there so now we're gonna go in I'm using my Mizutani type K scissor this is a five and a half inch scissor I like using a shorter scissor for all precision cuts I've used a scissor for this entire cut and I'm going in with the tip of the scissor to start cutting my hard line now when we talk about hard lines it's a nice strong line that you're creating in the back a lot of people try to create these lines by doing it in the wet cut but I love doing it in the dry cut because you can really fine-tune decide what you want that line to look like and get really creative with it then after I use the tip of my scissor I'll go in with the blade flat just to really harden the line to get it really strong and then I go back in with the tip of the scissor and then I comb the hair some more this is a process that I'll spend about ten minutes on going through and cutting and and defining that line you could even spend longer but I know in salon reality we can't do that but this is really the trick that I'll think a lot of people skimp on this because they either just don't have the time or didn't know that that's what people were doing like I didn't but now you know I block out enough time in my haircuts to make sure that I can put those final details in to get the look that I'm looking for and then now I'm going to go through and I'm doing point cutting technique just softening the edge this isn't so much right now about changing the shape at all I just hold the hair directly out and I look for bulky points and I go in vertically with the blade and soften that edge just skinny and up the look a little bit so we'll do that all the way through the head shape everything's coming straight out from the from where it lives so nothing is really being over directed at this point do the same thing on the opposite side you can see how deep I'm going in there I'm not going too far because I'm not really trying to create those layers yet I'm going to do that on the top but I'm just going in and taking the bulk out of the side remember we did over direct everything straight back so in doing that you're pushing so much weight to the front and you don't want to get that dog ear effect now I'm going through and I'm gonna cut the blunt bangs and the way I'm gonna do that is scoop it up hold it in my comb at a low elevation so I'm about maybe a half an inch from the forehead and I just go in and I cut my first line and then I just keep fine tuning it as I slowly drop the comb down I keep cutting and it just gives me a little soft feel when it finally drops down to the forehead so this is a technique that I learned a long time ago really love this technique for cutting a straight fringe works really well you just keep going through you hold it with your scissor put it into the comb and then just lightly use the tip of the scissor to go through and define the line so again you can see I'm using the tip of the scissor I don't think I mentioned but when you use the tip of the scissor it's great because it doesn't push the hair so a lot of people will go in and try to really cut with the full blade and especially when you don't have sharp scissors it pushes the hair and then you end up with a crooked line that you didn't want in the first place so you can see when I want to straighten that line out I use the tip of the scissor and that helps soften that line and get it exactly where I want it all right so we got a nice hard line now I'm going to go in and do really deep point cutting throughout the very top and that's going to give me that shattered effect in the layering so I really love how there's the hard lines in this cut but then it's just really textured so that's one of my favorite looks for the haircut I love seeing that precision feel but then a lot of shattered pieces around it so another thing I like to do is on this particular cut I want to go through and cut and connect those lines I didn't want it all falling forward so then I leave those disconnections to kind of fall over it which I really liked I mean obviously this this part becomes a little less salon friendly but it's fun and creative to do it so I keep that triangular feel it's still got a little bit of a forward feel to it but then disconnect it over the top this would be cool for curly hair I think as well having those disconnections really separates the shape of it and could give you a little more texture and take out some density so just really fun haircut hope you guys like the finished look I'm going to finish it up blow it dry I'm gonna throw a little bit more product in there as well a little more point cutting through it to finalize it out and then I throw on the mirror smooth high gloss primer from Paul Mitchell and I'll be wild ginger so throw that in gives it that shine a little bit of separation again not too much hold still a soft feel to the look but see the texture of peaceiness I really like it hope you guys like this cut I love doing it let me know in the comments below what you think thanks

Good afternoon. We're going to get started with the reading of My Father's Bones by Susan Shown Harjo and Mary Catherine Nagel 2nd Fox Nation Jack stands in the northeast corner of the cemetery. He is surrounded by tombstones each one displaying the name of a sibling aunt uncle grandparents or other relative So here we are This is it These are the trees that surrounded him. Can you hear them? the birds Those are the birds that sang to him. Oh Yeah in the sky that big pink Oklahoma sky and The Red Earth My dad played in this dirt when he was a kid This is my home his home We were born in this dirt and When we die We go back to this dirt or at least that's what dad wanted Grandma and grandpa They're here now Over here, that's my auntie My dad's brother my uncle some of my cousins Dad's twin Died when he was nine It's buried right here. We're all here except dad They took him far away from here to bury him Some place they named the burl of Pennsylvania a Place he'd never even seen My dad you may know him Or maybe you think you know him Sure, he was famous and now He won some gold medals at the Olympics But that didn't change who he was To my dad he was always Sack and Pox Thunder clan of the Sack and Pox nation. That's one thing you should know about us Indians We're no different than white people or any other kind of folks for that matter We want to bury our loved ones with our loved ones With our mothers our fathers and our brothers. I spent years trying to bring dad back I begged I pleaded I Prayed and when that didn't work. I did what you non-natives do all the time. I Filed a lawsuit Steve Ward and Bill enter Tulsa, Oklahoma February 2015 We lost how is that possible appellate court says judge caputo got it wrong that the didn't that the native American graves Protection and repatriation act NACPRA doesn't apply because dad wasn't Native American no They said the burl isn't actually holding his remains. No They said the burl doesn't even receive federal funds. No Well, what did they say they said that applying the plain text of the statute here would lead to a result that Congress never intended They think Congress didn't intend for us to win, right under the statute we win, but they applied the absurdity doctrine What is the absurdity doctrine it's a doctrine that courts apply when they don't like the result of applying the plain language of a statute They call that a doctrine. I agree. It's absurd. I'll tell you what's absurd a White woman can go walking in Interrupt a native burial ceremony Take my father's body and sell it and a court will conclude that NACPRA Doesn't apply because to allow my father to be buried with these relatives on second Fox soil is Absurd, I know you're upset We have to appeal After the argument in the third circuit you said if we lose here We have the option of appealing to the Supreme Court. We do But do you think we should Indians lose about 98% of the cases they bring to the Supreme Court Then why do we keep bringing them because there's no other choice? I told my brother. I'd never give up Okay, I'm just telling you Indians don't have a good track record in front of the court Dad always said he never saw a record. He couldn't break My father's name was what they should cook Or as you would say in English The bright path the lightning makes as it goes across the sky He was the most incredible athlete of the 20th century Most remember him as Jim Thorpe and for the gold medals he won in the 1912 Olympics He won both the decathlon and the pentathlon of feet. No one's ever duplicated His scores in the combined 15 events were off the charts He set records that took decades to break What do you remember my dad for? the medals he won the records he broke or The town that changed his name to his Me I just remember him as dad Because that's who he was to me Michael so Franco and secretary enter the mayor's office in borough of Jim Thorpe February 2015 Feels good doesn't it you didn't think we'd win. I wasn't sure but we signed a contract Yeah, well, I'm not a lawyer. I'm just a common citizen and as a common citizen I always thought a contract was a contract no matter how you slice it But apparently in some instances, it's not you aren't a common citizen. You're our mayor I'm just glad we won Glad we got that district court overturned. You know I voted for you twice Thank you, and I think you're doing an amazing job. I don't know how you do it I get out of bed every morning. That's the first step So if we won that means no more depositions no more late-night brief reading no more long conference calls. It's over This is an American legal system. It's never over. You just said we won the appeal in the third circuit They could appeal to the Supreme Court My grandpa always talked about before When this was mock chunk, I wasn't alive then but he was and I remembered And he remembered before we were named Jim Thorpe back when we had coal mines But by the time my dad was old enough to work the mines were all shut down not a single one left open So daddy always said Jim Thorpe's all we have We don't have mines anymore and we don't have the ridge above the river where folks used to come and hike Because they mined it away So all we got in this town is a dead Indian He's buried here We're honoring him They can't ever take that away from us. We won't let him Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act It's a little thing Congress put together and passed in 1990 for our civil rights Native American human rights When Congress found out about a serious problem in America For some reason a Lot of non-native folks think they should be able to buy and sell our remains and the remains of our ancestors our hair bones and skulls Scientists were digging up our heads to study them Some were collecting our bones for trophies others were using them as tourist attractions But we're human We're people and just like any other folks We have the inalienable right to be buried in the same soil as our relatives and To have our ashes sent to the many directions from places of our choosing NACRA recognized that we have that right and Then this court in Pennsylvania Denied us that human right.  I think it would be fun Michael so Franco enters and moves to the table with chairs Steve Ward sits across from him October 23 2012 Leighton, Pennsylvania the court reporter sits typing every word that's spoken Mr. So Franco, would you please state your name for the record? Michael J. So Franco Mr. So Franco, do you hold a public office with the defendant the borough of Jim Thorpe? Yes I am currently the elected mayor. Are you a resident of the borough of Jim Thorpe? Yes lifelong resident Mr. So Franco, why was Jim Thorpe buried in the borough? I think I would tell you that my understanding would be From what history tells me they were looking for a place to honor the athlete To honor the many accomplishments of Jim Thorpe Patricia Thorpe had been looking for that in a place that would rightfully honor her husband So just to be clear you never met with her Patricia Thorpe No, Joseph Boyle along with the members of the committee would have sat down and met with her and said You know we would like to honor him and show truly what he deserves for his accomplishments And this is the reason Jim Thorpe would have been buried there That would have been the overwhelming reason to why he was there. Were there other reasons? Obviously the two towns coming together and to have one you'd find it one unified name would be a second reason because There were reasons the two boroughs needed to come together and you know Were we going to be East Mock Chunk, Upper Mock Chunk, West Mock Chunk, whatever chunk that all would have been an issue I wanted to interrupt. So by having one common name for the entire borough would have been a second reason But of course I didn't. Getting that together would have been That all would have been the reason yes One final question. I wanted to ask do you have proof of the contract you claim to have signed?  There was a contract, but then again you're asking me if I have any proof of that or any documentation on that and I can't Show you that. If I could take you back to 1954, I'm sure I could take you to a coffee shop I'm sure I could take you to a breakfast area and say hey They sat down at a kitchen table or a dining room table, or they sat down in a diner and Discuss hey, what are we going to do about this? But as far as the official borough documentation that I could show this was being discussed at the time no I Have nothing that I as the mayor right now can show you But Patricia Thorpe showed up and they signed a contract Thank you that concludes my questioning. It's 3 36 p.m. Eastern Standard Time October 23rd to 2012 we're off the record Michael so Franco exits July 16th 2012 Tulsa, Oklahoma What if I don't know what to say just answer his questions and listen for my objections. I'm nervous. You'll do fine Can we cancel you have to testify? Why me this is your lawsuit? This is Jack's lawsuit. He filed it and you joined it because he asked me to Depositions are very intimidating. I know I'm not Intimidated remember what we discussed if you don't know the answer to a question you say I don't know But I don't know I don't know what to say to convince these people to let us bring dad home If I knew I would have said it by now. I would have said it years ago. I Remember when Jack ran for principal chief. I looked at him and I knew He had a plan He was gonna bring dad home but now Jack's down there and I'm up here and if I don't say the right thing they won't let dad come home Kind of makes me want to say nothing at all William Schwab enters and sits on the other side of the table The court reporter types every word that's spoken Bill takes his seat at the table Mr. Thorpe, my name is Bill Schwab. I'm the attorney for the borough of Jim Thorpe I'll be asking a few questions today Now you've you filed a complaint in the matter in which you've made an allegation that your dog your father died in 1953 that is remains were shopped to several cities my brother filed the complaint right and He's passed now. I realized this. I'm just trying to understand when your brother filed the complaint What did he mean when he wrote that your father's remains were shopped to several cities? Objection complaint speaks for itself. He filed it. I'm entitled to ask him about it. You can answer the question What was the question? How is it that you claim that your father's remains were shopped to several cities? To my knowledge Patsy his third wife She came in and removed his body from a ceremony our Indian burial ceremony that was taking place with the second Fox tribe They came in with a hearse and a sheriff or state patrol and took his body doing our farewell dinner. Were you present? Yes, I was present and how old were you at the time at that time? I probably let's see coming out of service probably 25 26 years old now your father passed unexpectedly in 1953 yes Did you ever ever have a conversation with your father about his burial or his burial plans as far as dad was concerned? At different occasions throughout our lifetimes Yeah, he had mentioned that he wanted to be put in rest in Oklahoma in the in the tribal grounds Did your dad have a will when he passed to my knowledge? No, and a state was raised for him though pardon and a state was raised for him I'm not you don't know. No, I had come back from Korea at the time he passed So I don't know what went on in California Were you aware that Patsy entered into a contract with a borough of Machunk and East Machunk on May 19 1954 objection calls for illegal conclusion you can answer I Understood they had something but I of course I wasn't there to know all the points of it Have you ever seen the contract? No Were you aware that the two boroughs would under the contract have to merge and consolidate themselves under the name of Jim Thorpe That's what I heard where you're aware that the obligation would be binding on the heirs Administrators and executors for so long as the boroughs of East Machunk and Machunk parties here on to are officially known or designated as Jim Thorpe Okay Now we're talking about heirs Who put the heirs in there we're the heirs, but we weren't aware of this That was my question. Were you aware of this? No Now on paragraph 21 of your complaint You've alleged that NAGPRA was a legal tool to prevent the exploitation and commercialization of remains of their ancestors and elders Uh-huh. I'm sorry. Was that a yes? Yes Do you believe that the borough of Jim Thorpe is doing that today? Yes Borough of Jim Thorpe How are they doing that? I would say commercially they're using my dad's remains to bring people to their town to visit also commercially I Understand that they've named a lot of facilities in the town under his name like I guess they got laundries and different things like that Jim Thorpe or whatever. I really don't know, you know, which ones but I've heard there They've got a number of places that use his name. So the borough of Jim Thorpe by having businesses named after the borough They're exploiting your father's name commercially, I mean, they're drawing money from the name uh-huh and You live in Arlington, Texas. Yes. Okay. Is there an Arlington laundromat? Don't know is there an Arlington beer distributor. What about an Arlington library objection? You've made your point Why don't you ask a question with some relevance to the issues in the case? Now my understanding is that and and please correct me because Pennsylvania is not rich with Indian heritage Well, I shouldn't say that we're rich with Indian heritage But not with Sorry, sure not with Indians and that we get familiar with their practices Okay My understanding is once an Indian is buried in sanctified land. That's now sacred than his Soul is at rest. Is that your understanding? I Really don't think so. I mean I mean his burial should have been completed at the second Fox ceremony But it was interrupted. So his first ceremony was never completed never completed But your half-sister grace completed one in Pennsylvania. That wasn't a second Fox completion What you did was a ceremony from a different tribe. That's not who dad was So the second Fox burial by your half-sister grace in Pennsylvania. That wasn't a second Fox burial Okay If someone was to show you that it was a second Fox burial Would your opinion be different as to its legitimacy? No, we don't need you to show us. What is and is not second Fox. I Know what second Fox and you aren't second Fox Before my father's passing No one had ever interrupted a second Fox burial So when Patsy walked in there and took his body We didn't know what to do We just sat there and Shock I remember I had my brother Bill next to me and my relative Henrietta. She was on my right and Suddenly out of nowhere this white guy burst in Henrietta gasp Bill grabbed my hand We knew something was wrong The white guy He came in the wrong door The door he came through That was the door for death Only the dead come in and out of that door William Schwab, Steve Ward and court reporter exit January 2011 Hey bud remember when dad used to take us out back and play football. Yeah, just about every Saturday Yeah, even in the rain. He always passed to you. He passed to you too. Yeah, but he always passed to you first I was the youngest. Yeah, it's cause he always looked out for the baby He was the strongest man on the face of the earth But if he saw someone weaker than him He always stopped to help them. I sure am glad you brought this suit. I Want you to be named plaintive what like instead of you instead of me I don't know anything about Nagpra. You don't need to We have a lawyer a very good one But you're doing such a good job. I'm dying brother. Don't say that answer Your doctor said Must Maybe to someone has to bring dad home We'll bury him next to you Mayor enters office Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania 1986 you must be Jack Principal chief Thorpe Principal chief of the second Fox nation I'm here to collect my father. I don't think that's possible. Your father has been with us for 30 years now It's time for him to come home. I know you have strong feelings about this You have my dad we signed a contract He never signed anything his wife did and we lived up to our end of the bargain He wanted to be buried in Oklahoma. That's about as American as you can get he wanted to be buried with his family Thanks to us Americans know more about your dad than they ever did before They drive through our sleepy little town just to see his grave and there they can read about his achievements This isn't his home. It is now You're standing in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. We named it after him. He has his own zip code What this cook his name is what this cook What May 19th 1954 East Machunk, Pennsylvania Mayor and Patricia Thorpe sit in a local diner sipping on two cups of coffee How's your coffee? Fine We don't have much in this sleepy little town, but this diner it's something we're proud of Luke warm really tastes like it was brewed yesterday Oh, well, we can't have that Matt. It's okay. No, it's not fine.  Yes, sir He's new. I'm sure he hates his job Well, I'm sure he loves it This diner is one of the best places in town a lot of guys wish they could get a job here at a diner Look around you. There's nothing else here The mines closed all of them five years ago and they employed our entire town without them Well, let's just say everyone around here is looking for a job. Matt's lucky. He found one Matt returns with the cup of coffee.  I'm giving you his body Yes, but we agree to change our name. We're renaming our town borough of jim thorpe My husband's famous. Yes. I'm aware of his medals So when you have your town named after him, you're gonna make money I think it's only fair that I get a piece of that money Just a piece Matt returns to the table with their breakfast dishes He places the dishes on the table. I ordered eggs Yes, I didn't say scrambled eggs. Oh if I wanted my eggs scrambled, I would have said so How would you like your eggs the way I ordered them? Okay Take these back to the kitchen. I'm sorry. I thought you said scrambled I didn't Well, we would be more than happy to compensate you for your husband's body But we need you to agree that this agreement is binding. I said I'd sign. Yes What do you want?  We added one short paragraph Mayor hands patricia the contract to read The first party agrees for herself her heirs Administrators and executors that neither she nor any of them will remove or cause to be removed the body of her Said husband jim Thorpe from the confines of the boroughs of east mock chunk and mock chunk What do you think? Fine by me. Great When do I get my money? When do you need it now? Matt returns with a plate of eggs served sunny side up. He places the plate in fun of patricia. What's this? Your eggs. I said poached poached eggs not scrambled not sunny side up I'm so sorry. I can't eat this. Please get her some poached eggs. Yes, sir I'm really sorry about this. When do you want the body? Oh, well, maybe in a month or two. We'll need to build the mausoleum.  I'm done driving it around Okay, I'll call the morgue. I'm sure we can find some space The biggest mistake I made in my life was marrying an indian My mother warned me. She said patsy. Don't marry that man Once a red skin always a red skin even when he's famous, but I was stupid I thought it would be glamorous. I thought we eat oysters and drink wine and watch the sunset on the beach But I never got to enjoy any of that.  You have fans millions of them. You've won gold medals for christ's sake Go put your face on a billboard tell some soap or Cars or beer we could have been millionaires But did he care about making money? No That's not important to me patsy. He used to say Sure not important to him, but what about me? I deserve this He's not going to leave this world without giving something to me Matt returns carrying a plate of poached eggs.  I can't my mom who made me neon on hey Jesus, I can't my mom who made a second fox burial ceremony last four days The fourth day is important That's when the elders hold the name return ceremony We have two spirits We have our big spirit And we have our little spirit And when you pass An elder gives your little spirit a name A name that says to your little spirit It's okay You can go on now 1953 sack and fox nation jim thorpe's funeral Jack now 16 years old and bill now 25 sing a sack and fox prayer song Highway patrolman enters followed by patricia thorp. They interrupt the ceremony What are you doing? He's cold too cold. We're in the middle of a put him in the hearse now Yes, I think they're praying.

To get the best Madden team, go to instantmaddencoins.com. You can buy players, coins, and training directly to your account, and code MMG is 10% off. Look at this team! Ha ha ha ha! Travis Kelsey is my center. Travis Kelsey, not Jason Kelsey. My right tackle is Kenny Clark, my guard is Chris Long, my left guard is Warren Sapp, and Cameron Jordan is my left tackle. My tight ends are Jason Kelsey, Andrew Thomas, and Tim Tebow. My wide receivers are Ricky Williams, Adornie Jackson, Jaycee Jackson, Trayvon Diggs, and Richard Sherman. Yes, you're hearing me correctly. My halfbacks are Derwin James, Ronde Barber, and Micah Parsons. My fullbacks are TJ Watt and Aaron Donald, and my cornerback is Peyton Manning. That sounds right. It shouldn't be Peyton Manning, shouldn't it be? But then you look at his speed, and you realize his Peyton Manning is from a different universe, because he has 93 speed. On defense, we've got Barry Sanders, Tyree Kilbran, and Marshall J.J. Watt as our linebackers. Derek Carrup at Free Safety, Jimmy Graham at Strong Safety, Stephon Diggs at Corner, Tiki Barber, 99 at Corner, Robert Hunt at Corner, Martian Lynch at Right End, Derek Watt at Detackle, Patrick McCartney at Detackle, and Kyle Long at Left End. And never forget, we got Big Daddy Vince Wilfork as our kicker, and Randall Cunningham as our punter.  Backhand ballers is this promo similar to out of position for Christmas, except they just kind of took it up a notch and went even crazier and really just threw anybody anywhere. I've been getting gameplay with some of the players individually, but my boy Cody, he hit me up. He said, Papa Meigs, you wanna use my team? It is decked out with every single backyard baller. I said, please bro, that is so hype. So Cody, you're a stud, thank you. Not to mention, he has this strategy, the backyard baller strategy. It gives plus one to every rating of all backyard ballers players. That means this entire team is way better than the distributor.  For everyone being in the most random position, it's hilarious how broken this is gonna be, because this is supposed to be a gimmick. Like, ha ha, look at my funny players. But they're gonna be so good, like look at this, they're with James, bro. 99 speed, 97 excel, 97 agility.  X factor wise, let's take a peek before we hop into this gameplay. So Ronde Barber with evasive backfield master, he's gonna be amazing. Derwin James will be amazing too. Ricky Williams with Bruiser and route tech at wide receiver. Payton Manning's really good, I have used him for, I love him. Trayvon Diggs has wide receiver apprentice, route tech, and then Warren Sapp with post up.  Jimmy Graham, Jimmy Graham is so good, dude, he's like six foot seven. He has 97 speed as a strong safety, so good. Barry Sanders definitely putting my abilities on. I'm not gonna put them on Barry Sanders actually. Crusher on Brandon Marsh will be really good. Marsh on Lynch will just be hilarious. And other than that, I think we're good. Yeah, you guys get the idea, it's a bunch of nonsense, but it probably will be really good. I'm beyond excited to play with this team, so I'm just gonna hop straight into a game. And I think there is a house rules that I haven't played yet. Always on X factors, score 10 points to win. A 10 plus yard rushing touchdown is worth 10. And you get two points for first down. I don't know how this works, but I'm gonna find out, okay, let's go. It is really cool though, like this team is probably, you can probably use this team till the end of the game. It'd be pretty solid.  Oh my God.  I goofed it. Also, this is old gen, not next gen. I'm used to playing on next gen, and it's way faster. All right, I got everybody in pass, bro. No way, he runs it. On fourth and sixth, sketch ball. So if he got a 10 plus yard rushing touchdown, he'd win. Get there! Oh, I wanted to pick. Wow, this is hard, dude. Next gen and old gen are really different. Ooh, a little zone run. I think that was an RPO, but we are bottling him right now. Hey, let's go! It was Barry! And that is fourth and goal. He throws some ball out of bounds. An interesting play call. What I could do is I could just pick up two first downs and score a touchdown, right? Cause that's 10 points, although I might not have that option. Did you win?  And I love all the old linemen as my tight ends. I can just block them up. See how this looks. Ooh, his user was there, but he didn't get to it. It's two to two. I did not mean to hit that button. I'm going to lose three points there. All right guys, let me be honest with you. I meant to hit A. And I kind of just panicked and hit Y. And he just throws a mallard. Shit was going nowhere. Oh, the playmaker, am I there?   Yup, bingo. Darn it, it felt so good. I didn't even need a playmaker at really. Out the backfield run. Hey, Barber! Hey, hey!  All right, lowkey, you can't jump like that in next gen. I'll take my excuse. You can't jump like that in next gen. I would have never got lured that next gen like that. We got a little redemption game on our hands here. Wow, how'd you get that off? He wants right here! That's fine, I get three points for that.   RPL zone bubble alert. I'm just gonna hand it off. Let's go Derwin. Let's go Derwin. Derwin James, out here. I would love to get the 10 plus yard rush. I can even do it with Manning, honestly. See if it gets his user. Oh, it does. His user's not on that. He kinda is, but not after a yard, so we're good.  Just split it right up in there. Ah, Tariq is fast, and nobody blocks him. Who's that? That was a joke. Oh my God, that's the only guy you block. He's the second level linebacker. It's the only way that inside zone works. Oh, right over the top is Ricky Williams, what a play. Fourth and a four, we convert. We gotta make a nasty run play here to end this game. Let's do it, Ronny Barber. Let's make one good move and just end this game.  Where are the blocks?  What? I just take my all on that one. I'm pissed. Oh, I'm pissed. Mine. Hey, I actually got it. Tariq is so fast.  Oh my God. I'm not used to that. Hey, put it away. Tell the last guy beat me so it's poetic justice. Hey, look at that.  Same dude. See if you got it. We literally have the same team, I'm pretty sure. He has a full back guard baller steam team. Oh, over the middle. Saw it late and Ronny Barber fights. Fourth and eight, we could get a big stop here though. Mine. Where are you throwing? Martian? No, Martian, you have to break that tackle, Martian. Oh my God, you could have housed it, Martian. Beast mode would have broke that tackle, bro. Come on. Trayvon Diggs impressed coverage from who? Actually, I don't know if he could beat Tiki Barber like that.  He might have actually torched him. Oh my God, he torched him. Trayvon Diggs takes us to five boys. All we need is the touchdown now. Let's go to Jason Kelsey, our big boys center. Oh, yeah, sure. Yes, sure! God, he took on five guys at once. Last time I saw somebody take on five guys at once. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Starting this one out, well, JJ Watt with a sack. Dude, you can just turn on a dime and no momentum at all. Oh my God. Old Jen's kind of glitchy. Hey, look at Tyree Kill, dude, when I turn directions.  I'll run full speed left and I'll just stop and run full speed right. That's glitchy. And he doesn't get that. It's fourth and 37. Probably not where you want to be. And Martian, Martian, do it! Oh, I just lured with Martian. All right, I would like to get a rushing touchdown. It's kind of hard, though, at least especially from 10 plus out. I feel like when I play mad and the only time I get long rushing touchdowns is just like pure random. Great route, Ronde Barber. And that's third and 15. Oh, Kelsey. Monster. Manning, manning, manning, manning. That's why they give him 93 speed. Do I get to go for two? Can I win the game right now? Ah, again.  Andrew Thomas! Oh, he dropped it. It was there. It was low key there. Starting this one out the exact same. JJ Watt, another sack. JJ Watt's having a field day, I'd be so pissed. I know he just wants to beam one deep now because he's pissed, yeah. Ticket! Oh, good to put the game away right there. Here we go, here we go, here we go!   Wait a second, this is the guy I lost to first. I'm getting all my rematches. He's gonna check down. Good tackle, Tyreek. Third and 11. Dude, I'm getting just lasered up. Chill out. I'm big, big. Barry Sanders with a sack. That's not a check down, though. Good tackle, good tackle. That's huge. Rocked manning on the goal line. I get three points for that because it's a fumble. I lost this guy once already, so I kinda gotta redeem myself here. What a play. There went James. I had a shot at it.  I feel like I'm playing Man 20 with golden tickets right now. I'm just beaming it. Oh, that's a bad ball. I thought he was wide open, but I think I'm underestimating just how good his team is. His team is scary good. That's fine. Oh, don't let him push forward. I'm all right with that. We gotta return this pitcher back to Derek Carpherry's safety. Who's gonna go nowhere, but we can win this game. All right, I would win it by literally just getting a first down, but I gotta go 25 yards in four plays, which is a lot easier said than done. Not bad. Barber, that's a good eight yards. We do that every play we win the game. Yep, same thing on the other side. JC Jackson didn't get as much, but we are in a good spot, third and 12. I'm beaming it, that was right there. And what do you know?  Can't throw it to anybody. I could add that.  I don't even know who you threw it to. Mine. Mine! With Jimmy Graham, that Jimmy Graham is so good. I tell you what. Let's go, baby. We got our redemption. We got our redemption against a Giants fan. Okay. Oh, go through him, Micah. Five yards ain't bad usually, but in this game, oh, that's not going anywhere. Good move. That one is sick. You should be open for this. I think I just turned it over. Wow. I was up six inches short. I'm with it. Oh, QB Spy from Marshawn Lynch just hawked him down, hawked out Michael Vick. Made him lose three yards. He's in five wide. I just got a cover with Tyree Kill on 15. That's it. Right there. Get it, Marshawn! Marshawn player of the game right now, dude. Holy man. Oh my God. He's going off. Is he open? The answer is absolutely not, but B is, I don't know who that is. I think it's Ricky Williams. Hell of a play. If all the blocks are perfect, it should be a one-on-one with the safety. Darn it. It didn't block how I wanted, but that's okay. I mean, that's a good pickup. I only need a touchdown to win now. Is that open? Oh my God, what a laser, but I still need a yard. To end this video off, TJ Woff on that touchdown. Come on, baby! Come on! Oh no! No! He RPOs it. Good play. We stopped him on second and one last time, so I can still stop him here. Play action again. Left side might be open. It's probably what he's looking for. Check down. We don't check down around here, buddy. You lose yards when you check down around here.  Fourth to 11. You're completely modeled. Oh no, the halfback. Oh, he doesn't throw it. Robert Hunt! I wanted a Robert Hunt interception. Oh, that would have been so sick.  It makes a ton of sense now. All right, we're gonna go a little play action. I see this game up right in the middle. Lull. Matt? Matt? Wait a second, I can still get a Robert Hunt INT. This is good news. Stop running the ball. You're not going anywhere. Don't throw over here. Don't throw anywhere. There's nowhere you can throw. Pitch it. Yes, sir. Derek Hart? Derek Hartuddy? Derek Hartuddy? That was so hype. Skin it, baby. Hey, that's it.  I hope you guys enjoyed.  And I think after this you're gonna see some Wheel of Mud and you're gonna see some theme teams. Let's close out March Hot. I love you guys. Thanks for watching as always. I'll see you in the next video. Peace.
