favourite, we now turn to topical questions and we start with question number one from Anas Sarwar. The cabinet secretary is serious about getting a basis of health shoulder. We will start with question number one from Anas Sarwar. The cabinet secretary is serious about getting a basis of health shoulder. I will start with first question number one from Anas Sarwar. I wouldn't say I don't know if I'm doing well in hospital, but I'll be walking through that. We will now turn to topical questions. We start with question number one from Anas Sarwar. Thank you, Presiding Officer. Can I start the year by being the biggest sick in the chamber, by wishing you a happy new year and also everyone else around the chamber? To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to reports of an increase in the number of people dying in hospital while waiting to be discharged because their care package had yet to be finalised? First I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all health and social care staff across Scotland for their hard work and dedication to the care of our old and vulnerable people over the winter period. I am saddened to hear of any patient dying while waiting to return home. No one should have to wait unnecessarily in hospital once they are fit for discharge. This is particularly important for people nearing the end of their life, as we know that most people would prefer to die at home or in a homely setting. That is why we have committed, within our health and social care delivery plan, to double the palliative end of life provision within the community by 2021. That will help to ensure that those nearing end of life will get the care that they need in the right place at the right time. I am also committed to eradicating delays and that is why we recently announced an additional £107 million to support sustainability in the care sector. That brings the NHS contribution to enhancing social care to around £500 million a year. My officials have been in regular contact with those partnerships, facing the most significant challenges. I am assured that they have seen a great deal of progress in the lead-up to and over the festive period, ensuring that people got home and also freeing up much-needed beds over the winter period. I will join the cabinet secretary in paying tribute to all our amazing NHS staff who go above and beyond to care for others. Freedom of Information requests from Scottish Labour reveal that, since the cabinet secretary made the commitment to eradicate delayed discharge, at least 683 patients in Scotland have died in hospital as a delayed discharge. Figures are expected to be much higher as some health boards were unable to reveal figures. Official figures also show that the NHS loses around 45,000 bed days a month due to delayed discharge. The cabinet secretary has repeated the promise to eradicate delayed discharge again today, but the reality is that this is yet another failure on her watch. A delayed discharge is identified as a hospital inpatient, judged clinically ready to leave hospital, who continues to occupy a bed beyond the ready for discharge date. Those patients may be ready to return home or be transferred to a care home. Given the clear pressures on social care, why does the cabinet secretary support a further cut of £327 million to local councils this year, a figure confirmed by the Scottish Parliament Information Centre Spice? Instead, why won't she commit to using the powers of this Parliament to stop the cuts? First of all, Audit Scotland has highlighted the progress that has been made with a 9 per cent year-on-year reduction in bed days associated with delays in 2015-16. Progress made, but I am, as I have said before in this chamber, the first to say that more progress has to be made, which is why, of course, it is important that all partnerships make tackling delayed discharge a key priority. That is why, of course, in the draft budget for 2017-18, there is a further £107 million allocated to be transferred from the NHS to integration authorities. That is in addition to the £250 million transfer in 2016-17, which is now baselined. When adding to that the £100 million integrated care fund and the £30 million delayed discharge funding that the NHS is contributing, that is around £500 million per year to support social care. I think that that is resources that is quite right in an integrated system to help to tackle delay and, of course, is in direct contrast to elsewhere where we have seen cuts to social care budgets and fewer people getting the help that they need. If all partnerships in Scotland were performing at the best rate of the top 25 per cent in tackling delay, many of which have got into single figures in the number of delays over three days, we would be able to halft the number of delays straight away. The challenge is to work with partnerships and my officials are doing that to make sure that all of them are doing the things that we know work to help to eradicate delay out of the system. The cabinet secretary says that she understands the seriousness of those figures and indeed the seriousness of delayed discharge, but the reality is that Audit Scotland gave a damning indictment of the state of the NHS under her watch. Although the rhetoric is rich today, it does not match the reality for so many individuals who are struggling as a result of social care cuts at councils the length and breadth of the country. Behind each statistic is an individual and their family that has been let down and failed. Almost 700 patients are going on to die in hospital as a delayed discharge since the cabinet secretary promised to eradicate it. That will be people's relatives and friends in this situation, where they were told that they were now clinically able to go home and ready for discharge. Would they believe that they were coming home to perhaps spend their final weeks and months at home with their own family, but instead trapped in hospital waiting for a care package perhaps for weeks and months on end, but they never came home at all but instead went on to lose their lives in hospital? Will the cabinet secretary take this opportunity to apologise to all families that are let down by delayed discharge and to make a commitment that she will fight to reverse the cuts to social care packages and budgets across the country? Of course, I recognise that behind each statistic is a person, which is why I said in my initial answer that I am saddened to hear of any patient dying while waiting to return home. No one should have to wait unnecessarily in hospital once they are fit for discharge, which is why we are putting £0.5 billion into tackling this issue, because it is one of the highest priorities for this Government and for me, as the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport. As I have said, progress is being made. Ten out of the 32 partnerships now have delayed discharge in single figures. That delays over three days in single figures. What we need to see are the other 22 partnerships following suit. We know what works and that is why, with the resources that have been given, we expect all partnerships to make sure that they are putting in place the services that we know that people not only can get home out of hospital in a timely fashion, but many of those services will prevent people going into hospital in the first place. Action being taken, some progress being made, the speed of that progress needs to increase, which is why we are putting in the resources that we are putting in. The cabinet secretary will also be aware that the most recently published figures show that delayed discharges cost the NHS £114 million in 2015-16 that approximates to £214 every single day. That is an utterly unacceptable loss of vital funding for our NHS. What will the cabinet secretary do to ensure that this kind of loss to NHS funding is not repeated this year and beyond? Of course, it is vitally important that all the resources in the NHS and our health and care partnerships are used to the best effect, which is why the resources that we have put into tackle delayed discharge are also focused on making sure that the bed capacity in our acute hospitals in our acute sector and our community hospitals are used for those patients who require to be in those beds and not for patients who are ready for discharge. As I said in my previous answer, progress is being made. Of course, the £500 million that we have put in is beginning to make a difference, but we need to see more progress. What I would say to the member is that that is in direct contrast to the situation in England where, for six consecutive years, we have seen cuts to local authority budgets. I would have thought that, given that the Labour Party in England has raised the same issue this week about Jeremy Hunt's stewardship of the national health service, where 26 per cent fewer people get the help that they need. I would reflect on the Red Cross's description of the NHS as facing a humanitarian crisis. We may have our issues and our challenges here in Scotland, but the Red Cross here in Scotland is not describing NHS Scotland in those terms. Our health and care staff do a tremendous job. The resources are in place. We know what works. I would just hope that, perhaps, the Opposition might get behind them in their work that they are doing over the festive period and beyond, rather than criticising as they do from the sidelines. Cabinet Secretary for Health and Care is aware that part of care packages often include physiotherapy, particularly for the elderly. She will be aware that NHS Ayrshinarn waiting times for physiotherapy are now extending from 42 to 48 weeks following the alleged laying off of staff. 48 weeks waiting times for physiotherapy is a little short of scandalous Cabinet Secretary—almost a year. What can she do about it to reduce the waiting times for physiotherapy for everyone in Ayrshinarn? John Scott makes an important point in making sure that people can not only get home in a timely fashion but, in many cases, avoid hospital admission. In the first place, the role of our allied health professionals, including physiotherapists, is vitally important. I recently met physiotherapists and heard at first hand the very important work that they are doing to keep people out of hospital and get them home in a timely fashion. I am clear about taking forward the plans through the health and care partnerships. The role of our physiotherapists is very important in doing that. That, as part of our national workforce plan, will be an important part of ensuring that we have the right professionals in the right place. Work is going on at the moment, and we will be consulting with professional bodies, including those who represent physiotherapists. We will need more physiotherapists as part of that workforce plan to do the very things that John Scott was talking about. I am very happy to keep John Scott informed about the work that we are going to be taking forward through the national workforce plan, particularly in relation to the growth of the physiotherapy workforce. Question 2, Gillian Martin. To ask the Scottish Government for its response to the IPPR report, Equipping Scotland for the Future. The report highlights many of the challenges that are identified within our economic and labour market strategies. It has also formed part of the drivers for our decision to undertake the enterprise and skills agency review, which is currently proceeding in partnership with stakeholders and the relevant agencies. A skilled workforce will be a key component of a more successful and inclusive economy in the years ahead. That is why our labour market strategy sets out who will put fairness at the heart of our drive to build the economy and create jobs and remove barriers to worker. Recently published a second annual report on our youth employment strategy development and young workforce. It sets out the improvements being made in tandem with employers across the education system. We are continuing to invest in our successful modern apprenticeship programme and are currently on target to achieve 26,000 new starts in 2016-17 as part of our target of 30,000 new starts by the last eight-year of this parliamentary session. In our draft budget for 2017-18, we managed to establish an establishment of a new £10 million workforce development fund to support the skills development of those already in work. Gillian Martin. Minister, I will be aware that the report outlines that youth employment rate in Scotland has been consistently higher than in the UK and that youth employment in Scotland is now at its lowest level since 2001. Could you outline what factors he believes have contributed towards this and how that trend will be sustained or indeed improved on? Minister. Of course, there has been a concerted effort made by the administration to focus on the issue of youth unemployment. That was a particular issue of concern during the economic downturn. Of course, we were the first Government in the UK to establish a Minister for Youth Employment and underlining our focus on the matter. There have been a range of initiatives in place that support improvements such as community jobs Scotland that are delivered in tandem with the SCVO. There have been other initiatives such as Scotland's employer recruitment incentive. Of course, we have increased the number of modern apprenticeships that are available in the country. We will continue to develop those initiatives. We will continue to develop the young workforce agenda to help us to continue to progress to reducing youth unemployment by 40 per cent from 2014 levels by 2021. Gillian Martin The Scottish Government is committed to growing our economy with a focus on more jobs and fair work. I share that commitment. Can the minister outline how he is making work fair in Scotland? Gillian Martin I again, Presiding Officer, this is another important agenda for the Government. We support the work of the fair work convention. Fair work has ripped through our labour market strategy. Indeed, within that strategy, we set out that we will be providing funding for the fair work convention to roll out their fair work framework. We have the business pledge, which contains a number of fair work commitments, with 299 employers signed up to that pledge. We have support for the living wage. Of course, in the administration, we pay at least the living wage to all of our employees. We fund the poverty alliance for the accreditation scheme. We now have more than 700 employers accredited as living wage employers. That might help to explain why we have some 80 per cent of our workforce paid at least the living wage, the highest of the four UK nations in modern apprenticeships. We have an equality action plan to increase the numbers of those underrepresented in modern apprenticeships. Indeed, we have other initiatives such as the room and returners scheme, which we funded Equate Scotland to take forward this year. We will continue to do all we can to make sure that we have a fair work culture here in Scotland. Dean Lockhart As the minister will be aware, according to figures released just yesterday, Scotland has an unemployment rate of 5.3 per cent above the UK rate of 4.8 per cent for the whole of the UK. After 10 years of SNP government, does the minister really think that that under-performance is an acceptable position for the Scottish economy? Minister Clearly, I do not want to see continued improvements. What Mr Lockhart fails to set out in his question is that the unemployment rate decreased in the last year. That is welcome and we will continue to do all we can to bring that unemployment rate further down. Daniel Johnson One of the key points in the IPPR report is regarding technology change and automation. Indeed, some reports suggest that as much as 30 to 40 per cent of the workforce could be made obsolete through automation. Could the minister confirm what the Government's estimate of potential impact on Scotland is, over what sort of timeframe, and what is the Government's strategy with particular regard to the skills regime about how to deal with this and how to make sure that those who find their jobs may obsolete and find new work through reskilling? Daniel Johnson I would caution against his talking about obsolition at this stage, but I recognise the point that Mr Johnson makes when we refer back to the labour market strategy, where we explicitly recognise the potential impact of increased automation. I have been out and seen many employers over the course of some of where investment technology, contrary to expectations, has led to an increase in employment. I recognise that there is the potential to go the other way. That is why we have set out the area of concern in our labour market strategy and why we will continue to have a focus in this area. The next item of business is a debate in the name of Angela Constance on Scotland's place in the European Union. It will take two minutes to change seats.


Hello everyone, I'm really glad to be here today. I usually don't speak in churches and it's not my first time that I speak in a church. I had one lecture in one church already but that will stay a secret. But I must reveal you at the very beginning another secret. When I was still a kid younger than a teenager I actually always thought of studying theology. Because as many as many children I was always interested not only in God but mainly generally speaking in the meaning of the universe. In the meantime I studied philosophy and linguistics and as you can see I ended up in the church anyhow speaking about the apocalypse. So it sounds like a Woody Allen movie and it is a Woody Allen movie. There is a beautiful scene, I mean there are many beautiful scenes in Woody Allen's any whole. I guess you all remember this movie with Woody Allen and with Diane Keaton. Where Woody Allen there is a scene where Woody Allen, his name is Alvi in the movie, is you know he's kind of depressed and his mother brings him to a psychiatrist and at the psychiatrist Alvi Woody Allen is a small kid and so on and mother says to the psychiatrist you know my my kid is depressed and he doesn't want to do anything he doesn't even want to go to school and then the psychiatrist turns to Alvi and asks of course but why are you depressed and Alvi responds the universe is expanding and the mother like now is already completely crazy and mad lost her temper completely and ask him but what do you mean by that and then Woody Allen says well the universe is everything and if it's expanding someday it will break apart and that will be the end of everything and then mother is like completely upset and says Alvi what is what what's that of your business you should think about school and so on and Alvi responds but what's the point if the world is ending and then the mother says what does it have to do with it you have to do your homework you are here you are in Brooklyn so instead of thinking about the end of the world think about Brooklyn today and then at the end of this scene you have the psychiatrist who is smoking like a cigarette and says yes yes you just have to think about Brooklyn you are here we have to enjoy our lives and I really like this scene because it was shot I think when any hall was the 70s or something like that but if you remember what was the first reaction towards the children's climate protest all across the world when it started one year ago well you could have read Angela Merkel Teresa May Vladimir Putin and although there are many differences between these world leaders the reaction was the same as the mother's reaction and as a psychiatrist reaction so the kids were saying you know everything is collapsing what you can see is that in the next 20 30 years you will have sea levels rising you will have millions of refugees climate refugees coming from the global south from Bangladesh from Pakistan and so on you already have microplastics as I heard you have it also here I mean I didn't understand much but I guess there is an exhibition taking place but the problem is of course that you already eat microplastics that we all already eat microplastics the scientists have found microplastics in the Arctic that they have found it in Swiss Alps and so on so basically what the kids are saying look at the Amazon is burning if you continue to drill oil and fossil use fossil fuels and so on we are heading towards the end of the world and what did Merkel Putin and all the world leaders say they say go back to school like what's the point you know if that's the question of the kids that's what Greta posed as well because Greta herself if you remember said that she was pretty depressed when she was thinking about the end of the world constantly and then of course everyone said but what's what's the point you know to go to school even if this is happening and that's happening with this scene in Woody Allen but today it's not only the kids anymore look what's happening in Chile look what's happening in Ecuador look what's happening in Iraq with the pro massive protest in Baghdad look what's happening in Algiers look what's happening in Hong Kong I just came from London yesterday look what happened in London you end in the UK during the last month and I'm not talking about Brexit I'm talking about a movement which directly brings us into the topic of today's speech which is the apocalypse a movement whose name is extinction rebellion I don't know whether you watch 12 monkeys that great movie where you have this kind of scenario you know ecologist fighting you have the graffiti and so on and here you have extinction rebellion so it's also protest in London or go back to France for months already you have a movement which is called Gila Jones and we can approach them from different perspectives you can criticize them you can say it's not leading anywhere and so on but they are a reflection a consequence on a system which is producing an ecological apocalypse it is a consequence in the same way that the Chile protests were not about 30 pesos you know that they increased the the price for the public transport and then the people are protesting it is a consequence of 30 years of neoliberalism and Chicago boys running the Chilean economy economy since Pinochet so what you can see here is that we are approaching dangerous time today people are reacting from the children's movement to extinction rebellion to all these heterogeneous movements which are now all across the world and at the same time what you can see today is that a certain apocalyptic side guys I would call it side guys I hope it makes sense in Dutch it makes in German certainly a certain apocalyptic side guys is all around us and not only a side guys but what you can see now and basically what I want to do today since I didn't study theology is to give a philosophical reflection on the notion of the apocalypse a reflection on the notion of the apocalypse as something which is inherently immediately already part of ideology of a certain narrative of if you want even commodification last week and maybe I just need a glass of water I don't know how do you do it in a church and don't get a wine or something but I would really love a glass of water if it's possible and someone to tell me was the time because that I also don't know and it's a bit complicated here in Utrecht because the rings are the bells are ringing constantly so like you don't even know whether so either ring the bell or someone tells me and the glass of water thanks a lot so what you have today when we speak about the apocalypse is definitely I would say on the one hand you have the reality but this is still not the apocalypse and basically as you probably know since we are in a church the apocalypse has to be understood as a revelation not as the end of the world what you have today is that news magazines even books and so on are usually identifying the apocalypse with the end of the world but I think what we have to examine is precisely the apocalypse as the revelation so on the one hand you have the reality the dystopian reality could it be said that this reality is already a sort of revelation micro plastics ice melting nuclear catastrophes and so on so on the one level you have the facts you have the reality you have not only you know apocalyptic maniacs prophets kids saying that we are certainly going into a direction of the end of the world you have thanks a lot you have and his water tanks not mine so we are going in that direction just if you look at the facts according to the scientists on the other hand you have you have a narrative a narrative about the apocalypse and on the third hand I would say you have a commodification of the apocalypse so to say to explain what it means let's take before we come to this church itself and to another church which was burning recently let's take the example of Chernobyl so I guess many of you here have watched the HBO series Chernobyl right no can people just yeah how many of you did watch it how many of you did hear about it okay almost everyone and this proves kind of proves the point that the topic of the end of the world is becoming something which is really a popular topic which doesn't just mean that it's a popular topic it means that it's a topic which is diving deeply into the collective unconscious of all of us the very fact that most of you watched it not most of you but that everyone heard about it tells something not so much about the TV series but about yourself and it says something about the moment in which we are today so last week I happened to be in Chernobyl in Pripyat and then the exclusion zone and basically all the all the levels of approaching the notion of apocalypse you can see there so on the one hand you have the dystopian reality which is brutal facts which is on the one hand an exclusion zone of 30 kilometers where almost no one lives although that's also not kind of true here you already approach ideology you have resettlers you have workers in the Chernobyl power plant and so on and so on and basically but okay that's let's say the reality is there is still a lot of radioactivity there you have to be careful in which direction you walk you always have a geiger around you and so on and according to the guides it's less if you stay one day in Chernobyl it is less radioactivity than an intercontinental flight what you can also see is the reality in the sense that a city which was populated by 50 thousand people like Pripyat is now a ghost city nature came back and so on but here you already approach the ideological level of the notion of apocalypse so first of all the very name of Chernobyl of this site is exclusion zone which is already ideological in the sense that basically what did you do I mean it's the same as you did in colonialism not you as Dutch but everyone and what they did during the Yugoslav Wars you know when Milosevic and Tudjman I'm not blaming you Dutch I can blame my our compatriots as well when Milosevic and Tudjman and Izetbegovic come together and they have a map and then they you know they they draft draw the lines of the future countries and the territories I mean that's being done during colonialism in a much more sinister way as well so in the case of Chernobyl you also have someone who makes basically the count of the Chernobyl explosion as a sort of nuclear bomb and then you have to draw a 30 kilometers exclusion zone but that's already ideology the very term exclusion zone because what's happening outside is that you have villages outside and especially on the Belarusian border where thousands and thousands of people actually were affected by radioactivity and they were never they were never how to say they were never put out of that territory so you can already see ideology there then once you enter Pripyat actually when you enter the exclusion zone there is a first checkpoint and what do you see there there you see the what I call the commodification of apocalypse commodification in the meaning that the apocalypse becomes something objectified something that can be sold something that is commercialized say something that becomes a product so when you come to the checkpoint there you can buy ice cream which says like enjoy ice cream because you're going to Chernobyl or something like that then you can buy souvenirs you can buy t-shirts you can buy whatever you want basically and once you come in it's also interesting because in 2014 and this is correct directly connected to the to the to the TV series as well and the apocalyptic or more precisely post apocalyptic side guys so in 2014 it was 5,000 people visiting the exclusion area last year it was around 60,000 and last week when I was there it was around 80,000 already and I think that next year because the HBO series will only then hit like even more the global market what else that it might be double and so on there are of course other places in the world which are which are you know becoming an object of dark tourism of post apocalyptic tourism and the question is why why is the apocalypse becoming suddenly something which is becoming part of our unconscious so I guess most of you probably remember when the Notre Dame a beautiful church an important historical church an imported religious site was caught by fire in April this year well it was at this kind of event which those of you who are a bit older remember that means that I'm also getting old remember 9-11 who knows maybe Greta and and the children of her age don't perceive that event in the same way we perceive it but definitely for our generation that event was the event which was a kind of event which had well certainly global maybe even universal value when it comes you know you can just test yourself you can probably if you remember the moment where have you been with whom what have you been doing and so on when the when you know when when the planes smashed the Twin Tower and I would say the same goes for the Notre Dame with one little exception which we will now examine most of you here all of you here probably remember right where you have been when the Notre Dame was caught by fire you probably also remember the deep anxiety which you felt you probably also remember all the questions you posed is it you know I remember because I was just flying unfortunately flying into Berlin where I would live there the next month after the Notre Dame not connected but anyhow and I remember you know you come to the bus of the airport you open your your mobile phone and then it's like I don't know like Alfonso Cuaron's children of men or a movie where something happens and suddenly everyone takes the phones out and I look around the bus and everyone is having a phone still don't know what's happening and then suddenly I see that everywhere there is a video of the Notre Dame burning and I get messages so did you see it did you see it and then the first reaction of course you know what's I cannot say what's happening you know is the terrorist attack is it this is this that is and so on and so on so I would say that the Notre Dame for instance immediately also got itself caught in the post apocalyptic side guys that also the Notre Dame itself became part of a bigger narrative and it actually reflects something of the collective unconscious if you want which is now prevailing in the world it's interesting that in 2019 in September so two months ago there was an article in the Financial Times which started by the following sentence this is not Chernobyl so okay there's an article in the Financial Times about the Notre Dame and it starts with a sentence this is not Chernobyl how did we come there why is Notre Dame compared to Chernobyl and you see that the architect so it was a hot summer in Paris so this summer in 2019 June July August September were the hottest ever in recorded human history October now was always the also the hottest ever and we are approaching on November which might become the hottest summer in in few recorded in human history as well so September when the journalists of the Financial Times visits the site of of of of Notre Dame it's 36 degrees 36 degrees in September maybe in a future no one will be anymore wondering about the temperature and no one is because as you can see this reality is also being normalized and she goes around the site with architect who is called Philippe Villeneuve who is also who is the head of restoration of the Notre Dame and basically his sentence this is not Chernobyl was referring to the fact that when the church was burning a lot of lead was you know the metal was was evaporated in the sky and then they you know that if you remember the yellow yellowish mainly yellowish orange reddish red smoke which you saw above the Notre Dame it is a consequence of this metal burning which is also interesting I don't know for those of you who watch the HBO series you probably remember that at one point when the reactor number four blows up you also have a light above I mean even that it's much better shown if you watch a documentary documentary recordings of that event you can see it even to certain degree but in the in the series you have people coming on a bridge which is in the movie in the series called the bridge of death and they've watched you know and you as a spectator you know that well this is not just a beautiful sublime act it's radio activity being released of course when you come to Chernobyl now as a tourist the guide will tell you first that when you pass the bridge that they hate to call it she's an Ukrainian to call it the bridge of death and that is already ideology because people never stood on the bridge and watched this but anyhow what brings this together Chernobyl in Paris and this is not only the fact that the architect said the architect said that this is Chernobyl because Notre Dame is basically toxic he said I mean only if you lick the ground around the Notre Dame you can you can you can end up in hospital but it is still toxic it is not toxic in the same way as as as Chernobyl but what brings them together as well is something else what brings them together is what Emmanuel Kant would call the sublime if you remember in Kant he has a I cannot quote it now but I will try to describe it explain it he has this beautiful image of a storm coming and you know and as you know as a small human being you look at the storm and it's at the same time frightening but it's at the same time exciting in a way I mean you have it in in in that's why you have it in sure in Kierkegaard as well and that's why this is you know the kid the kids today the kid in Woody Allen's any hall and this kind of and the sublime I would say as well brings us closer to the metaphysics of the apocalypse I would say in the sense that it's already existentialism I would say and existentialism is certainly back today in the 21st century what Kierkegaard says is that you know when you are on the on the edge like this off a cliff and you look down and everyone knows this kind of experience and you look down and it's at the same time you're frightened but you might even want to jump you know it's it's this kind of feeling and I think most of us felt something like that even if it's a blast for me to say even with 9 11 even with another dumb and certainly with watching Chernobyl you know a world without people there is a certain fascination with something what I would call the post-apocalyptic sublime sublime and that's something which brings Notre Dame and Chernobyl again in the same in the same context so the experience of this sort of surplus I would call it surplus reality a reality that is literally too much reality like when you watch 9 11 when you watch the Notre Dame when you watch a tornado it's too much reality it almost feels like as if it is not real like I don't know if you remember because my brain is more and more struck structured as a Twitter subconscious or unconscious so it's functioning like that if you remember there was a video when was it etna but a volcano in Italy was erupting and some friends are on a boat and it's erupting and then they are filming of course themselves and so on and then one of them says oh this feels like it's as if I'm in a movie you know you have this already that I mean especially movies can show that the apocalypse is apocalypse is certainly something which gets into the unconscious but at the same time it's too much reality it is as if we saw it in the in the movies and it is as if we are acting in the movie itself so it's it's not just an experience of a singularity in which the universal becomes concrete when the reality namely the universal in the sense that the reality suddenly becomes a whole which you can understand as a whole it is also the moment when the historical Notre Dame is burning for instance becomes the personal I am lending to Berlin and I see all these people and so on and my partner sends me a message did you see what happened with Notre Dame and add any other scenario and at the same time the personal if you imagine again if you if you remember sorry if you remember that recording of people in front of the Notre Dame singing beautifully singing while the smoke is going above the Notre Dame this is when the personal becomes historical at the same time you know it already happened with 9 11 I think but 9 11 was still the first truly global television event I would say I mean you already had people filming it and then someone was doing a comment but I would say the Notre Dame was truly a social media event where you can see how the personal personal becomes the historical how the personal becomes the universal and you're already at the level of of of a narrative and if you're at the level of a narrative you're coming to the level of ideology so I remember very well when after from the Tegel Airport I came to my new apartment in Berlin and opened my computer and just search what was what what what the hell was happening in Paris is another terrorist attack is it something else is it apocalypse or whatever I found an article in New York Times which was the perfect embodiment of well a certain ideological perspective the title of the article was the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral leads to expressions of heartbreak across the world fire at Notre Dame Cathedral leads to expressions of heartbreak across the world so the article observed that the fire that tore down torched through Notre Dame generated an outpouring of grief this is a quote in France and around the world as the symbol of French culture and history burned so as I was reading these New York Times article I was just imagining other people in other corners of the world not in Berlin not in Paris not in in Europe for instance I was imagining parts of the world in Africa Mali Senegal Western Africa countries which were under the French colonial rule were they also heartbroken in the same way New York Times said that everyone in the world was heartbroken you know I was imagining people from Yemen hundreds of thousands we're the also heartbroken you know by this posing these questions I'm not saying that it's not a tragedy it is a tragedy definitely but the problem is that it's a fake universal if you want to put it like that it's a universal for its universalism of the West and a certain religious social political tradition which sees the burning of the Notre Dame as universal so already here you can see ideology unlike New York Times the Al Jazeera offered a much needed counterpart to the Eurocentric narrative in an article which was titled Notre Dame and the case of misplaced empathy and the case of misplaced empathy posing the question why is it that a Catholic cathedral in flames provokes more public grieving than the mass suffering and that of humans and it's an important question not only because it enables us to rethink the empathy felt towards a building which certainly has a historical religious and even personal value but also because it shifts shifts the perspective from the Eurocentric fascination with the West monuments and our own tradition what about all the destroyed ancient monuments not only in Isis but by Western military interventions in Iraq Afghanistan what about all the destroyed monuments in Latin America when the colonialists came or what about ancient forms of imperialism like when Kartak destroyed was destroyed by the Romans or Pezzopolis destroyed was destroyed by Alexander the Great or what about natural catastrophes like when the library of Alexandria was burning or for instance the most famous that was up well I think it's a very it's becoming an even more relevant theologian discussion than it was maybe the Lisbon earthquake you know when you have this kind of events you could even say for the Lisbon earthquake that it was a universal event but again I tend to the person I I'm tempted to go in the direction to say that this was also a western or westernized universal event or take this church for instance to be honest I didn't know much about this church but I always followed the motto of Frederick Jameson the great American cultural scholar who says always historicize always historicize in the sense that try to find what Hegel would call the concrete universal try to find something which connects you to the place in which you are at the moment geographically but also temporarily so basically in linguistics I mean already in this was here you have two levels one is synchrony and the other one is diachrony like you have to with this syntagma syntagmatic level and paradigmatic level in the sense that you have all the words which are here in time as you speak but you also have something like philology which quotes and examines words in history I'm simplifying linguistics now of course speak for hours just about that but the point is that you try to cognitively map yourself in the moment where we are so I'm in the moment that I need another glass of water I'm sorry and we are in a church what brings this church in direct correlation to what I was just talking about about this universalism and the narrative of the apocalypse well are several events this church as I found out yesterday when I arrived also was caught by fire this church if you can believe it was damaged by a tornado although it's not really tornado now by by according to the recent scientific reflections how to call it it was a how did they call it bow echo bow echo right I don't know echo bow something like that yeah bow echo so but what is interesting is that it came in 1674 those of you who know Dutch history better than me we already know that this is a period which is well quite I'm in the church I cannot say fucked up but it's it is from the perspective of of the people who are living there and especially from the Dutch perspective in 1672 that was the year of you know of what what in Dutch history is called the disaster year you know it is a year where you already you are in war Utrecht was completely bankrupt destroyed you have tensions with French with Germany with the Brits and so on and then two years later for this ill-prepared community city which is already plundered and already in a state of crisis thanks a lot yeah I give you this sorry I just I'm a bit sick because I was in Chernobyl so radio it's radioactivity nobody it was very cold in Kiev and there yeah but maybe this radioactivity I mean that that's the thing with radioactivity that it's really scary because you don't see it you know which gives a completely different perspective on the very notion of apocalypse and this is why Gunther Anders for instance one of my favorite German philosophers spoke about the nuclear age as the last epoch the last epoch because if if if you really understand the consequences of nuclear energy or what happened of or what might happen like do you know that France now is planning to build seven six or seven new major nuclear reactors and it's a country which is already dependent 70% on nuclear energy or that Sweden is dependent 48% on nuclear energy so there is a lot of ideology and power interests here which go back to Hans Blix I don't know whether that name says something to you but also to the nuclear lobbies but to come back to the church 1674 was certainly an event which here in this city in this church in Utrecht in Netherlands was perceived as a universal event perhaps it was even perceived as as sublime so it and it wasn't just a again like the Notre Dame it wasn't just an event which was happening here it was an event which was a European event so according to one newspaper in Brussels hailstones fell which were as large as marbles many trees were removed from the earth this is a quote but also many house facades were overthrown in Strasbourg hailstones fell as large as babies heads if you walk down there to Utrecht to the Dom's Cathedral you will see that the present look of the Dom Cathedral is a consequence of this big storm which wasn't a tornado but it's actually much more it was you know I'm right I'm working on a book on the apocalypse now so I'm reading really bizarre things and I read a lot about material meteorology and such stuff and especially meteorological reconstructions of events so I read also about this and so they there are several accounts of farmers who took cover as they saw that this frontal system was coming and they say that it lasted only for 15 minutes and that's the interesting thing so it's not just that according to to scientists and meteorologists it wasn't just a tornado it is a it is a bow echo which means that you have something like a storm which can range from 20 to 200 kilometers and is moving rapidly and is full of thunderstorms is full of rain of strong winds and so on and that was the thing which hit Utrecht Utrecht and it's complete opposite then Hurricane Dorian if you if you recall Hurricane Dorian is interesting we which hit the the Grand Bahamas it's interesting because it is the slowest ever storm recorded in human history so it's opposite than Utrecht Utrecht was this kind of quick thing 15 minutes according to the accounts and then it was finished and everything was more or less destroyed Dorian is more like melancholia by Lars von Trier you know it's just there and it watches that you and you know that it's there and it moves I think that they said that you could walk quicker than what Dorian was moving in my worst obscene post apocalyptic imagination I imagine the apocalypse like that I mean not the apocalypse but the end of the world you know that it will just be this mega storm which is above us and it never disappears and then slowly we are just decaying and and that's already happening today because the point is that you somewhere already the end of the world to someone is happening and that's the point with this slow with this small picture from this church 350 years ago you could at the same time again imagine that for the Dutch citizens is what's the end of the world but for someone in Croatia at that time I mean Croatia didn't even exist I mean now the nationalists would kill me if I said that but in it as a nation stated didn't exist what was happening at that time in Ecuador what was happening or what was important to people in Yemen at that time or in other cities in Constantinople also so on so and the same goes for for for Dorian so my point with this is that with the apocalypse you always you are always already on a certain ideological position and it is a class question in which way you see the apocalypse in which way you perceive the apocalypse in which way you perceive something as a threat to humanity or to your little small selfish life so a beautiful example of this shift of perspective is given by by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu in his book distinction probably know about it it's a book from 79 it's called distinction our social critique of the judgment of taste where he where he poses the thesis that taste and especially a static aesthetic aesthetic judgment like because everything what we spoke about now is connected to a certain aesthetic judgment Notre Dame burning is connected to the sublime Dorian which reminds reminds us on the on that my at least me on that the megastorm which is happening on Saturn which is also disappearing by the way so it's an aesthetical judgment and what Pierre Bourdieu said is that if you have judgment like that you are always already also have something what he calls distinction which is a class distinction or to give you another very concrete example by another French one of my favorite French authors Roland Bart who in his out of autobiography subart was an intellectual who was living most of his life with his mother in Paris he was gay he was one of the most inspiring semioticians ever I think and he had a pleasure in the text and but he was he always noticed things which other people wouldn't notice so there is a paragraph in his out of biography where he spoke speaks about coming back to the French village site where he came from before he became an intellectual and he went to a bakery and one morning when he visited this local bakery the woman in the bakery said it's lovely but the heat is lasting too long and you know what this intellectual from Paris Roland Bart answered yeah but the light is so beautiful the woman doesn't answer of course and Roland Bart noticed that a short a short circuit in language of which the most trivial and conversations are the sure occasion I realized that seeing the light relates to class sensibility what does it mean you know that he I noticed this perspective very often on a certain Adriatic Island where I spent a lot of time and unfortunately not enough where you know I had this episode I also came to a local shop there you know it's a very small community and that the tell to one of my favorite a lady's working in the in the in the in the groceries oh it's such a beautiful weather today you know we can swim all day and so on well I immediately forgot that she's working all day she said I didn't swim for 15 years I'm trying to to earn enough money so my my kid can go to university so you know this these are these situations where you encounter the class perspective and that seeing the light in something beautiful as a landscape beautiful as Notre Dame and so on is a class perspective and there is nothing more ideological than the weather itself you know I would put it like that and wouldn't the same apply to the apocalypse or they went which acquire a certain apocalyptic meaning for instance such as the burning of the Notre Dame and I'm slowly finishing because I think the bell will ring soon for instance did did the yellow west in France perceive the fire which caught Notre Dame in the same way that the other people who were singing in front of it perceived it certainly not certainly they had a completely different perspective on the burning Notre Dame than Macron for instance you know because they were fighting against Macron who was cutting who was you know rising same similar situations that as in Chile which was mentioned at the beginning that you have an increase either of public transport or gas transport mainly transport which shows that yeah we need a green you deal as soon as possible because it is about transport it is about fossil fuels it is about this so the yellow west certainly had a different perspective on the burning Notre Dame than Macron and what you could have seen is that within 48 hours nearly a billion of euros was pledged for the reconstruction of the Notre Dame now I'm not saying this is bad I'm not saying you know I'm not the rooty who says that the only good church is the one which is burning this is the anarchist the Spanish is the the anarchist who said that I'm not like that so but my problem is not with the one billion euros which goes into the reconstruction of the Notre Dame my problem is what we already mentioned this is the misplaced empathy it's misplaced empathy and it's very hypocritical when so that the Notre Dame was still burning and then from swap you know the founder of the luxury goods group caring said that he would pledge that he's offering 100 million euros euros and then came other you know mainly the French bourgeoisie Loreal and so on but what was most interesting was an official statement by the French company total you probably know total right total you know shell total and so on these are the same companies which are heavily responsible for the world galloping into a climate catastrophe so the statement of total was the following one total decided to make this donation because Notre Dame de Paris is an iconic monument that represents the group's French roots it is a universal symbol of human aspiration and ingenuity I can agree with all of that total donation also demonstrates that the importance of standing together the importance of standing together which is one of the group's values and the need to share in the outpouring of emotion an exceptional mobilization that this trigger tragedy has triggered worldwide the same as the New York article you can already if you know anything about reading ideology you can already see ideology standing together yet tragedy which was triggered worldwide and so on but in order to deconstruct the ideology and that's one of my main points today as well that the apocalypse always has to be read from the lenses of the critique of ideology is that okay just do the following thing you heard the statement by total now let's make a thought which is about the Notre Dame now let's make a thought experiment and just imagine removing some words in their original statement so it was like this total decided to make this donation because the Amazon rainforest is an iconic monument to our planet's greatness it is a universal symbol of nature's aspiration and ingenuity totals donation also demonstrates the importance of standing together which is one of the group's values and the needs to share in the outpouring of emotion and exceptional mobilization that this tragedy the burning of the Amazon forest rainforest has triggered worldwide well it is no wonder that this sounds like science fiction it would be easier to imagine the superman is flying over Brazil and helping the fire fighters in Brazil than to imagine that total would have such a statement to the Amazon forest and here we make the full circle we come back to Chernobyl we come back to the very beginning when the architect Adam Notre Dame says this is not Chernobyl I think what he should have said is simply this is not the Amazon but the problem would of course be that most of the people will think that he is thinking about a company and not a rainforest so if you have googled as I did you know I mean I mean I'm completely mad like I Google apocalypse every day but just to see what's am I mean it's amazing because then you can find out there is a vodka done in Chernobyl then there is another one then you have the Lego toys you saw the Lego toys apocalyptic work it's made something I was somewhere in a duty-free shop and then you can see it it's huge it looks like the Statue of Liberty completely destroyed like that beautiful beginning scene of Planet of the Apes you know like this and it's an a post-apocalyptic toy for the children where everything is ruined it's post-apocalypse but you have a shop you have surfers and so on but the air is polluted and that well so you can see here as well that the apocalypse is being commodified in the sense that the children from very early age are already being educated in the sense to get accustomed to the idea that the world is such a world you know that you get accustomed that in Belgrade these days the air is so bad the children are not going out not new daily Belgrade and that this is connected directly to the very to the big divide between the century and the periphery of the European Union where Germany for instance is going into energy vendor where in all these beautiful Western countries which I love as well you have a turn toward a sort of green transition so people will drive electric cars and so on but in the meantime Germany will export millions and millions of diesel cars to Hungary Poland Croatia Serbia Bosnia and then you have the biggest number of premature deaths in Hungary not in China because it's one of the most polluted countries in Europe as well so we have all these kinds of problems in the apocalypse it's a class question in the end so why do I think that architects should have said that this is not the Amazon because Notre Dame might be a sort of revelation definitely it might create a collective consciousness about the history and the significance not only of a building which was for instance demolished during the French Revolution where the coronation of Napoleon happened as many many significant historical events and which has a big religious value to many people mainly in the Western world or touristic value such as Chernobyl is getting now but he should have said I think the Amazon because the Amazon forest for me and what's happening there and this is not just the Amazon it's about the microplastics but it's difficult to see a revelation microplastics because you can you cannot even see it but this is the true revelation so unfortunately I think soon I will have to come to the end to respect the time which we which is still left so I can take one more hour yeah a final statement well I have to slow down a bit now well my point today was there were several points and it's an ongoing work but what I want to examine and I think it's really important is the political the ideological the semi-autical the linguistical undertones of the notion of the apocalypse precisely because I'm not a theologian probably I would go in a different direction and examine the apocalypse in a different direction but I think what we have to realize today when the apocalypse is being commodified you have you know the tools you have dark tourism post-apocalyptic tourism you know there is even not only Chernobyl one there is in the Arctic now you have to the cost a lot 10 or 15 thousand pounds or something like that tours which are promoted as you go to a beautiful cruise ship and you see how the ice is melting you will be the last one to see it so it's an interesting phenomenon and it's not only an interesting phenomenon the fact that everyone here even those of you who didn't watch it said that you heard about the HBO series about Chernobyl says something important about our times our times are in my opinion not apocalyptic times but post-apocalyptic times I think the revelation already happened that would be my topic for next time in church next Sunday we meet here and we speak about the revelation but I finish here I hope I can return thanks a lot Miranda for inviting me here and thanks everyone for having this beautiful now you can turn it into wine thanks a lot


Was good to ask your boy Ross back again with another video. So someone sent me in the DMs. I want to say yesterday Saying I need to check out MJF's promo on John Moxley and it's one of his best promos He's ever like dropped on AEW and I'm like, okay, even better than one of the promos he had Against Cody. All right. Let me check it out. And that's what we're here to do I haven't really been keeping up too much with AEW for the most part But when it comes to MJF and his promo work from what I've known and what I've seen so far The dude is on point. He knows how to control a crowd He knows how to convey his points in such a like I Don't even know the words to describe it. It's just it's fluid. It's effortlessly like he literally is portraying the character to the tee of MJF and it's fantastic, bro So I'm gonna check it out, man. I guess he's going up to John Moxley We're gonna see what he has to say man. Appreciate all the love and support both the 20k. Let's get right into it Please AEW don't take this video now. You get to monetize it if you really really want to please don't take the video now, man Okay, that's all right, it's already looking like a good promo. He hit them I want to thank Tony Khan for letting me speak to you marks. I mean I mean I Bro, this is so great.  He's a no. He's undefeated And it shows who he lasts to feed it. I mean if a person's a no depending on who they've been facing He did be Cody at one point Ain't gonna lie to you, bro. He may be up for an AEW world heavyweight championship or the AEW main championship Now, let's be honest with ourselves. We all know wrestling fans aren't all that bright Sometimes I've been given an exorbitant amount of time here tonight. Very good on my so far knowledge like a five-year-old being fed mac and cheese Okay, honey, I'll read off the sheet. Can you just do the world a favor? Give me a little smile, huh? You look so much prettier when you do that honey. Thank you so much. Is this supposed to be like a presidential like Like speeds. Oh my god. This is great. This is so good time. This is so good. I love you, too Before I start this speech, I would like to implore you our AEW fans who we are so grateful for Please use the following hashtags Hashtag MJF 2020 wow hashtag not my champion You'll find out why in a moment's time. So please bear with me. Not my champion like not my president Oh, wow, this is this is he's good. I'm sure you people are shocked. Yeah, not on the sidelines, you know with with the bench warmers You're doing great by the way guys proud of you. Oh my god. He's so good Now I'm sure you're asking yourself, huh? MJF, that's a really good point. Why does that always happen to you? I'll tell you the reason I've never spotlighted two weeks in a row is because a certain individual is afraid of being Upstaged two weeks in a row. Hmm. And that is why it is time for a change in leadership around here Change is the word. I just used first started I saw men calling for change one man in particular called for a paradigm shift He is getting in his back He is getting in his Promo bag when he was feuding against Cody. He was digging in they were both going at each other on the mic This is this is This is this is nice, bro I'm liking this a minute two minutes in bro. This is this is how I'm gonna I'm gonna save my thoughts for later Let's continue this Oh My god, yo Yo, that is Imagine if there was more people in the crowd like it was packed.  That is I like this, bro I like this being a revolution and as unfortunately Turned into a dictatorship and that is why john moxley is not my champion This is good Now hold on people I cannot tell a lot. Absolutely I will not stand here and pretend that john moxley isn't one of the greatest wrestlers our great sport has ever seen However, I feel it's high time that we as a society have an honest discussion About all the negative side effects that have occurred ever since the moxley reign has started wrestling Okay, it's on the marquee and yet people Where is it? All I see is a bunch of great wrestlers having to come out here and perform gymnastics Flip flop and fly and or almost die in an attempt to make you the viewers at home think they're good at their job Wow, that's just wrong But I don't blame you aaw fans You see you have been brainwashed into thinking that that is what good professional wrestling is and that brainwashing Starts all the way at the tippy top This is why Jonathan A world champion is supposed to lead by example He's not supposed to let his roster mates come out here and play wrestle and he's damn Wow, not supposed to come out here in cosplay as a specific wrestler And that's a stone cold fact. I don't even need to hear the rest of the promo Wow Whole whole man And you know what's funny here, bro, and I want people to understand this He gets a lot of stone cold steve austin comparisons Especially in aew because they kind of have a similar like Like similar style mannerism Stone cold did whatever he wanted. It didn't he didn't care. He did whatever he wanted whenever he wanted to And he didn't care about the rules. Like it was just whatever. I just want to win it and have the championship. This is Wow mjf, bro my guy He may be a heel, but he is a fantastic heel A fantastic heel. I don't have to play wrestler because I am one. I'm undefeated. I am the first and last mjf You know what? I'm not the ladies and gentlemen I'm not a media analyst and yet everybody wants to pretend to be because everybody wants to talk about ratings Okay, and that's why we treat dictator john so well, right because of his name value, right? Because where on earth would the numbers lie without dictator john, right?  Why should he have to deal with the likes of me and to that I say how dare you AEW is meant to be the land of opportunity and you've squandered that and that is why it's time for a new guard around here Because the old job is running the show on this planet for centuries and look where it's gotten us people War famine disease our earth is dying so are murals and yet here we are with john moxley running the old guard And our infrastructure is falling and falling fast This is good to tell you people that I can catch this company Throw it on my back and sprint this brand up the steep terrain to the very top Because my talent outweighs your tenure john I am AEW.  I'm the guy who's going to be leading this company for the next 25 years He's good. He is good To the math and grab a calculator So good and that is why i'm making a promise to you that I will not stop until we go from happily glad handing each other For being the alternative and transform this brand into the pinnacle of professional wrestling This is wow Very poignant remarks John moxley I am challenging you for your world title and announcing my candidacy as the AEW world champion I'll see you at all out john We deserve better Hey sign me up I I I definitely may be checking out all out. I'm beyond the switchy. It looks like I'm I may be checking out all out, bro This is this is fantastic promo MJF knows what he's doing on the mic. He knows how to build up a match. He knows how to set up a match I'm beyond the switchy man As much as I like john moxley I think you gotta put it On MJF bro. He's undefeated record wise He is very talented on the mic. He's a fantastic kill And I don't think you can go wrong with that. I think you can build some new stars with MJF feuding with you know some newer talent that haven't had a chance at the championship like You can have him hold the belt for a while because he's a heel So he's gonna do heel things to keep the belt. I think this is the best way to go Right now is to put the strap on him, bro He is on fire and I I think people would definitely love to hear Hear him as a champion like how he speaks how he presents himself. I'm all for it John moxley, he's had it for a while now He can get the championship at any other time, you know saying he can end up going for another championship He can have a mid card feud He doesn't have to be the number one god, you know, you knew when he came into aw at some point He was gonna get the championship But he doesn't have to have it right away, you know what I'm saying? And I can respect that bro like I can respect them giving him the title But it's at some point, you know, I'm saying someone else knew someone else fresh needs to have it Just like I respect cody putting himself in a situation where he'll never Be able to go for the championship because he lost. I want to say I I want to say it was against Jericho I think it was against Jericho I want to say it was against Jericho. Correct me if I'm wrong. He did lose against chris jericho and one of the stipulations was If he loses this match, he'll never go for the championship ever again And I think that's you know, and that's that's dope because of course people would love to see cody as the champion, but he wants to Bring up new talent new stars, bro. And I'm and I'm all for it, bro. I am all for this Uh, I hope mjf is able to you know, I You know if they book it right, which I'm they've been booking for the most part They're they're pretty pretty logical with the book and I think mjf is gonna win the championship And have him a nice little run and potentially be able to you know Build up some new baby faces or you know saying get some more baby faces like In that the main event scene because he's a great heel So you got to have a good baby face to offset that but Fantastic promo. I don't know what else to say. This actually has me looking forward to their match Comment down below. Who do y'all think should win mjf or do you think john moxley should still retain the championship? Let me know. I would love your guys opinion. Appreciate all the love and support roger 20k. Appreciate y'all kicking in with me See y'all in the next one. Peace


Innovation is about finding novel solutions to unmet and persistent social problems. Over the last decade we have become used to associate social innovation with heroic individuals who, so our hopes, change the world around us and for us. Let me be a little bit provocative and in the context of this particular forum also slightly old-fashioned or retro. And suggest that for social innovation to deliver their full potential they need to be enacted by organizations, by teams of individuals, by groups of individuals. We at the Stanford Center for Anthropology and Civil Society look at social innovation as an organizational challenge. From the perspective of an organization, two issues are key. First, how can I as an organization develop the capacity to continuously innovate and not rely on the one-hit wonders? Second, I have a successful innovation. How can I scale up that innovation at the scale of the actual problem underneath? Scaling and innovation are two organizational processes that relate to each other in a counter-intuitive way. If you think about innovation, it's about experimenting. It's about challenging the status quo. It's about finding new ways of thinking, new ways of acting. Once you have a successful innovation and that innovation is embedded in your operating model of how you deliver a product or a service, subsequent scaling has to focus, has to basically commit to the operating model in order to actually deliver, create the value from the innovation. Think about innovation as exploration, exploration that has an uncertain outcome. Uncertain outcome, but also it is a process that is expensive and that is wasteful. Scaling, instead, is about exploitation. It's actually about creating value from a past innovation. Innovation is an investment. Scaling is exploring creating value from that investment. These two processes hang together. They are interrelated, but they're also in tension. Managing this tension is a very difficult balancing act, but managing this tension ultimately allows you or defines your capacity to continuously innovate and to actually deliver the social impact that you strive for. In order to further unpack this uneasy relationship between scaling and innovation, let me introduce a concept and the concept is innovation pathologies. Innovation pathologies, how we look at them, are those factors that derail your organization from productive innovation, from a path of productive innovation. A productive path because it allows you to balance the innovation, the investment in the innovation and the creation of the value from scaling. If you look back or if you look today, we have hundreds and books every year about innovation. We are basically conditioned by these books on innovation to look to search for the success factor, for the enabling factors of innovation. But we have very little ability in our organization to reflect back on our own pathologies, on those factors that actually impede us to innovate or that make our innovation less productive. Innovation pathologies, they have different sources. They can be at the individual level, think about the CEO who wakes up every morning, has an idea, a new idea brings it to the organization, and basically too many bad ideas get pushed. Think about insight at the organization, many traditional organizations have a hard time to actually get going with innovation, and basically it's not in their DNA they would say. Or think about funders requesting yet to go for another innovation project and that might impede you to actually go to the scaling by which you can create value from the innovation per se. So here today I would love to explore with you what are the pathologies in your own organization and second how do you overcome these pathologies. Because diagnosing innovation pathologies is key to social innovation and to scaling social innovation productively and successfully. Thank you.


So coming into college and specifically ECSU I had quite a few expectations about what I'd learned as a biology major I didn't have much experience in laboratories So I really wanted to get that hands-on experience learn about different careers in my majors different paths that I could take And all those expectations were met and exceeded especially as I've had the opportunity to participate in research programs However, I did not have the expectation of learning through opportunities like student leadership So I've had lots of personal growth and personal development and professional development through those opportunities And that's been the greatest but most rewarding surprise My first day on campus was an interesting one immediately walking on the yard. I was approached by several frets different fraternity people wanting to see if I was interested on What year I was with GPI transferred in with if I was eligible to even attend interest meetings and things like that met a lot of Football players basketball players and cheerleaders as well and just mingle with a lot of people It was very interesting to know that I'll be living in in the same area with these people opposed to having to commute back and forth The school when I was at the community college So it was a very interesting experience something different to be living on campus. I Decided to come to ECSU because it was a smaller campus And they have many different clubs and organizations for me to join such as marching band and ROTC


Speaking further, Ergum mentioned that the renewed attacks in some parts of the country pretend danger as May 29th, handing over date draws close. Ahead of May 29th, it is really a dangerous point for us. From what we are seeing, there are series of attacks all over the whole north, even to the east. So I think the security of the nation should be heightened at this moment. I really believe with the nation, the Nigerian government to really look into it, it's not something they must take lightly. They really need to engage even the community heads to talk to people so that people will, the party heads, they know that they all know how to interact with these people. They should really get back to the drone boat and see that they talk to people. There should be communication so that people can really lay down their arms and really help us to really see what we can do at this moment, so that the Nigeria will not quickly break into total chaos. Because that is where we are heading, because these people with guns, they take advantage of the instability, political instability to like advance their course. But when there is stability, it's something that you don't see. So we pray that at this moment, the government should try their best. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

He sent me a figure by text, but he sent me a proposal by text. So the figure and the proposal, I thought it was a mistake. I thought that it was, you know, like maybe you write a figure and you write an additional zero, extra zero on it. That's what I thought. So I sent the figure back with a question sign and asked if this is what the figure is. He said yes, he knew what he sent. So I asked him to rework the maths and that. Duran, can you give us any idea of what that figure was? Sure. The figure is, I can tell that it's over 100 million Jamaican dollars, pretty much. Put it out here. Per year. And I asked him, is this what you want per year? He said yes.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jasper's casewrakes.com coming at you with 2020 Tops Chrome Baseball. One jumbo pack, random team number five with a chance to win some teams in jumbo pick your team four. So these were the teams remaining in jumbo pick your team four. We'll do the break itself first. At the end of the break, we'll re-randomize your names and the top six names will get these teams. So the sixth name will get the twins, the third name will get the Phillies, the top name will get the Angels, so on and so forth. So we're only randomizing your names, not the teams. For the break itself, big thanks to these folks here for getting into it. There are all 30 teams right there. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it one at a five, six times for each list, one, two, three, and a sixth and final time. After six, we got Reines down to Jeremy Port, last spot mojo, still in the last spot. Six times for the teams and six and final time. After six times, we got the twins down to the rocks. Now the pack we're about to do is from a fresh jumbo box, which have five autographs per box. I don't know if we pulled an autograph, I don't know if we pulled an autograph yesterday in any of those four pack breaks we did, so one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight left. We did, I think we did four, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, yeah, I think we did four yesterday. All right, this is break number five, so all right, there's the first half of the list right here, there's the second half of the list right there, right? Ryan Chackleton, Mariners for you, we got my Dodgers Oliver, your Dodgers, our Dodgers, Blue Jays for Jacob, Yankees for Jeremy, so on and so forth, that's the White Sox, that's Cubs, oh White Sox is down here, Kurt with the White Sox, you never know, little pack break, no trades and stuff like this, let's sort by column B, let's print and rip, and I'll e-me-me-me-mo and figure out which pack we're gonna do, the classic e-me-me-me-mo method, Ryan H is the Mets fan smoking, Ryan Herald, so bottom one, I've got a die cut here, is there an auto in here, I think so, Cavendizio Future Stars, there's the Hank Aaron die cut which is pretty cool, Max Muncie, Altuve, Sheldon Nusey, all right, nothing earth-shattering in here, ladies and gentlemen, but if you end up in the Jumbo case break, there could be some earth-shattering stuff in there as a full case break, so from Aisa, Luke, down to Ryan Chackleton, let's get your names in a new list, new dice, and then we'll line you up with a team for, pick your team for Jumbo number four, let's roll it, let's randomize it, six and a five, eleven times for this list, good luck, one, two, and eleven the final time, big thanks to number seven, down to 30, I appreciate everybody giving this shot, and congrats to the top six right here, Aisa, Jeremy, Aisa, Ryan, Ryan, and David, six of you should have teams if I counted that right, I did, there you go, boom, there you go, so Aisa, I'll put a little rooftop next to your name, so you know you won this in this pack break right here, you have the Angels, Jeremy with the Yankees, Aisa with the Phillies, Ryan with the Cardinals and the Brewers, and David with the Twins, thanks everyone else for giving this shot, appreciate everybody watching, I'm Joe for jasperjasecasebreaks.com, I'll see you for that Jumbo, pick your team for in a separate video, bye-bye.


Hello friends, welcome to another session on geometry and in this session we are going to discuss another attribute of the triangle and that is the exterior angle to a given triangle So you can see in this figure. There's a triangle ABC right and What I have done is I have just extended all the sides in both the directions, right? so you can see AB this is the line AB segment line segment AB and N and M represent the points on the extended line F, right? similarly B and C are Joined as in the side of the triangle and B and C are extended both sides L and O are the points on that line, right and A and what? C AC right extended both sides K and J are the points on that line So that is what I have done in this case. Now How do we define in exterior angle? So you can see alpha beta gamma delta and Epsilon and jita there are these are six angles, which you can see which all are they so mbc Lba Kab NAO Sorry NAC and Then OCA and JCB all these are exterior angles. So how many there are? Six exterior angles now clearly these Vertically opposite to the internal angle that is this is internal angle is it BAC interior angle now Vertically opposite to that internal angle that is this KAN is not considered as extra exterior angle So for exterior angle you must have one side of the triangle and One extended side of You know one extended side of the other side of the triangle called it So one side has to be there so AB has to be there now if you're picking up this side Then any of the extended sides that is a K is the extended side of AC. So so the two arms will be One of them will be the one of one side of the triangle and the other arm of that triangle has to be the Extended arm of the same Triangle, but some other some other arm not the same previous arm. I hope you got it So in case this is BC is the arm correct BC is one of the arms of the or one of the sides of the Triangle now this if you are taking this then there are two possibilities one extended arm is AB which goes to M so if you take that as one of the arms of the angle so mb is one of the arm and BC is one of the arms so angle formed by them here in this case alpha is called exterior angle similarly LB a where AB is the side of the triangle and BL is extended side CB, right? So these are two Exterior angles like clearly LB M is not an exterior Why because the either of the two or both of the two are not having or Not any of the sides of the triangle right so neither BL nor BM So BL nor BM is the side of the triangle. So hence this angle will not be counted as an exterior Angle to the given triangle ABC got it. So once again exterior angle of any given triangle will be nothing but the angle formed by one of the sides of the triangle and And One extended side of any of the other two sides, right? So don't count this one. So this one is counted for the exterior angle Then the other arm of that exterior angle will be the extended arm of the other side of the triangle that is BC extended gives you CO is one of the arm and AB or sorry AC is the other arm. So ACO becomes the exterior angle now you can also See that The two pairs of exterior angle are equal and rightly so because they are pair of vertically opposite Angles, so they have to be equal. So in a nutshell, we can say that in a triangle, there are three pairs of Exterior angles right three pairs of equal exterior angles So alpha beta is one pair and then this epsilon and jeta is another pair 129.89 degrees here in this case and Delta and gamma are another pair so six pairs or sorry three pairs or six exterior angles are possible in the triangle Now I will just try to move this point be and show you that It is very much Valid for any case. So see I'm changing the location of B so in any case there are three or you're getting three pairs and three pairs of exterior angle or Six exterior angle right and see that guys. So you will get always three pairs of exterior angle and in every case The three pairs are equal in every case The opposite pairs, you know, they are equal. So whether it is AB or C, whichever I extend wherever I take you will always get Three equal pairs of exterior angles I hope you understood the concept of exterior angles. Now we will be studying some theorems related to exterior angles of


I just got off the phone with the Adrol. Red Diver, stand up over the stage. We've got a high-value Navy asset on the seafloor. Who wants it? Box in sight. Sir, you're going to need to see this.  Go Navy, beat Army.


Hey, what's going on? Everyone is behavior here again for another trailer reaction And this one is for Star Wars the last Jedi episode 8 behind the scenes Don't know if this is actually just a real trailer some behind the scenes like some feature it or a mixture of both So it's D23 summer 2017 let me go ahead and put these Headphones on real quick and actually before I press play. No, I'm gonna press play. I'm gonna tell you that after Watch this two-minute and 58 second video. Here we go I am excited eight The first film didn't even have a number Ryan has written a story that's unexpected but right Some of the stuff that happens people are gonna be like, oh my god Oh, come on Even though I think I know it all they throw things had me story-wise I never could have imagined And even though everybody knows that it's the second in a trilogy. It feels like its own thing It's a lovely score Star Wars is so cool because there's all these creatures All these amazing visual effects But all the characters are also so complex Ryan needs to work on his walkie-said Ridiculous new director can't even slain a walkie-sound It feels like the storylines are becoming more established We're really getting to know these new characters Also with the characters that we know and love We're seeing their lives change Everything is being shifted in an opposite way to what the audience expected of the seven That's it, I'm going with the beat A little shocking, but I'm hoping it'll feel real and honest It's our most ancient story of food against evil and war Told in the most fascinating way But it has a real spiritual depth to it It's about family and that's what's so powerful about it That's what's up right there. That's what's up.  I mean, I'm a Star Wars fan. I'm not a die-hard fan I don't know all the backstories and all the books and you know all that stuff But I have seen all the films and you know I haven't seen I've seen like a little bit of the Clone Wars movie and I wasn't interested and I saw like the First episode of the actual series and I heard it wasn't that good. So I haven't watched that the other show that they have XD I forgot what it's called But I want to watch it. I just haven't got around to that yet As far as the Star Wars movies like, you know, the Force Awakens and I have my copy I'm sure you guys do to got my copy of Rogue one as well. I Like Rogue one more I really did enjoy this especially with that Darth Vader scene at the end I'm the reason I did not prefer the Force of Awakens more I mean, it was a great movie But like most people, you know, it was too much like a new hope episode 4 So, you know, I did like Rogue one more. I am very excited about this I like the trailer that released back in like March or April of this year. This wasn't really a trailer It was you know, like you saw behind the scenes and you know, I was this kind of just like, you know Okay, expectations and you know my excitement level but after seeing this that was just a great piece of art that they put together that feature Right there. It looked freaking fantastic. It was so You know crazy to see Carrie Fisher there, you know Arresting piece. It's like I kind of forgot that, you know, she had passed and I was oh, yeah She's she's not here anymore, you know, but she's still gonna be in this movie, you know So that that was touching right there, but it looked real good I mean like it really feels like they're gonna create something special here, you know, because While I like I said while I really did, you know, of course the main Star Wars trilogy That's you know, one of the best if not the best trilogy out there It was so great beloved by millions and millions of people all around the world You know, of course we had the prequels and you know, how that turned out and you know Episode 7 the Force Awakens was good But at the same time it just really didn't feel like a real fresh Star Wars movie to me, you know, not saying that it was bad. I didn't enjoy it But you know, just to be honest it, you know did buy it off episode four just a little bit and wrong one was great But you know, that was you know in the past. So, you know, we'll see what Ryan Johnson can do You know, he directed looper got my copy of that as well. Love this movie with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis Fantastic film.  So I'm really looking forward to it Can't wait to see John Boyega. I want to see some crazy lightsaber battles and Yeah, so guys, that was just my opinion on the latest footage from D23 Star Wars the last Jedi trailer or Featured behind the scenes. What did you think that this turned you on? Did it turn you off? You know, are you excited about this? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know in the comment section below Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing if you like this video Go ahead and give me that thumbs up and if you don't like this video, that's fine Just leave me a comment below why and still give me the thumbs up also guys since you're watching this video on YouTube Go ahead and subscribe to my YouTube channel So you get all the content that I have to provide It's D23 next week. We're gonna have Comic Con You can go to my website book market check me out there and also look me up on social media and guys You know it I'm super duper excited for the Black Panther movie that's coming out February 16th of 2018 I cannot wait that is like my most anticipated movie in life And you know, I'm just really excited about it And I would be even more excited if I actually had the chance to be on the red carpet red carpet or on the side With the fans or whatever. How can you help me get there? You can share this video 1,000 times. It's a long shot You know, yeah, you know, but hey, I'm going for it So show this video 1,000 times and I will really appreciate it But guys, I just want to thank you again for tuning in for my trailer Behind the scenes feature at reaction slash review for Star Wars the last Jedi from D23 Before you go, don't forget and my name is Brennan Keith Avery and that's just my opinion. Peace


It will sometimes be necessary to have more than one push button station, so you'll have a start-stop station at one location, a start-stop location at another location, and you could have anywhere as many as you want, really. But we need to take a look at how that works out in our control schematics. So this will be multiple push button stations in a three-wire circuit. Now looking at it here, we have a stop, which is in series with the stop. Anytime you want a circuit to stop, the contacts need to be normally closed and they need to be in series with one another so that no matter what, it will kill the circuit or it will prevent power from coming across to any point. So if I press this down, it opens the circuit up. If I press this one down, it opens the circuit up as well. Anything that starts the circuit needs to be in parallel. So if I press this down, it will energize M, or if I press this down, it will energize M. So let's take a look at what happens when we start energizing or pushing down on our push buttons. If I press down on the first start push button, power can come through to here, energize the contacts here, sorry, energize the coil M through the normally closed overloads and energize these sets of contacts or seal in the contacts. Again, M coil is physically attached to these contacts, so whenever these energize, these will close. When we let go of the push button and it springs back to the normally open position, it now has a complete path that goes through the normally closed contacts and energizes M as well. So it can be held in or sealed in. Now to shut the circuit off, we push down on our normally closed contact, which will open up this circuit and de-energize M. When M de-energizes the coil, then the contacts will open up and when we let go of the stop button, everything will be de-energized because this is open, this is open, and this is open. So there we go. These are all back into their normally closed positions. The starts are in their normally open positions and our set of contacts is normally open because M coil is not energized. Now let's press down on the second start push button that's at a different station. When we press down on that, power can come through, it can't go across this start, but it can go down and go through this start, which will energize the coil, which will close these contacts and go through and go the other side. When I let go and the normally open bounces back to its normally open position, these sets of contacts are closed and therefore it holds it in and M stays energized. Now we'll use the different stop button. We'll use the second stop button to stop the circuit, but it does the exact same thing as the first. It opens up the circuit, power can't get through that node, so it would de-energize the M coil, which will open up these contacts and these positions or sorry, push buttons are being held into their normally open position by the springs anyways. So then when we release the stop button, there will be no access to energize M coil. So again, this bounces back to its normally closed position. This wasn't normally closed, power can get through right to these points here, can't get across the start, it can't get across this start and it can't get across the normally open contacts and M will stay de-energized up until the point you hit either this start button or this start button to energize M.
