So I'm here in the beautiful Jerusalem, visiting my wife's family, and I thought I'll share with you some updates on my goals for 2019 and where I'm trying to go with this life and all this So basically I partnered up with a huge Israeli self-development company that does self-development courses and online products. It's only in Hebrew. So there's no point really to link it, but in there we basically I basically am in charge of marketing doing marketing at about $1,000 a day maybe a bit more And we're doing a ton of awesome stuff. So I'm going for really big income from that. And at the same time I'm also developing some personal stuff and of course this youtube channel. Now what I'm going for is first of all the youtube ad revenue which is always nice. I'm currently making around 30 bucks a month from passive youtube ads and what I'm doing right now is kind of trying to build a system where I can produce videos on a consistent basis without too much time or effort hire somebody to edit the videos for me so that the quality improves and that there's more interesting stuff popping up while you're watching and also cutting out the less interesting parts and at the same time developing some sort of a marketing strategy perhaps hire a third person, a second person who will put out the videos, promote them both paid advertising and on forums and facebook groups and basically I'm, oh sorry, I'm trying to make an additional couple thousand dollars a week from that. So those are pretty much my goals for 2019 relating to income. I'm aiming to finish the year at about $50,000 a month maybe even $70,000 if I overshoot it we'll see and just to make it very simple oh I'll turn back now just to make it very simple the idea behind it is a massive exposure is to just increase my brand increase the company that I'm working with massively and at the same time to improve the marketing all the time so what I'm doing on a daily basis is looking at what I'm doing recommitting trying to see how can I add more flows of income better efficiency to just about everything that I'm doing and you're going to see throughout this year sorry I can already tell you you're going to see by the end of the year this channel is going to grow from 2,000 subscribers to anywhere between 5 to 10,000 subscribers I think the amount of money I generate from it is going to end up being at around $2,000 a month just from the youtube channel and also my main income source will probably grow to as I've stated earlier around $50,000 to $70,000 it's it's very different from the past and the past that would be a lot more like up and down and kind of like go for really short-term strategies where I try to get like the quickest return in the short term and like kind of like make an attack and leave these days I'm a lot more focused both since getting married and just since maturing as a person and so what that means is you're going to see a lot more steady growth but you're also going to see some really really cool things because again I'm all about 10x so I'm going to see a lot of leveraging perhaps hiring a few people and it's going to be a really really awesome year for me it literally feels like the year is just starting even though we're like a quarter into it because when you do really really awesome stuff that's very very exciting for you time just moves really really fast so this is just kind of like a quick update on what's going on on the goals and you're going to see again really amazing stuff for me soon you know wish me well in the comments let me know what you're doing because I know that there's a lot of fans who have kind of not seen anything lately for me and I'll see you guys in the daily video soon and have a great year we'll talk soon


The introduction of new energy data types may not be as challenging as you would think. For a traditional oil and gas operator, adding in new energy sources and fueling the energy transition is a big physical operation. In the digital world, adding a new data type or a new schema is quicker and that's one of the reasons I'm very excited about the addition and pivot into new energy because it will allow some of our traditional oil and gas operators to pivot more quickly with something like the OSU data platform in the digital world. One example of this is one of our partners, they have a piece of software and they actually can use that for carbon capture, utilization, and storage. And the interesting thing about that is it already has subsurface data types on it and you can use the visualizations to identify the types of reservoirs that are ideal candidates for carbon captures. That's an example of the flexibility of the OSU data platform and some of our partners' workflows that are already on the platform.


Anderson family but Oliver sister Betty has a she's long in her bedroom what don't you think of us with an old boot bar chair in there look Mary we can't remodel the house and refurnish it every time

Homer Homer why the other room Homer he didn't go out did he don't think so maybe I'd better go see he's always sneaking out to the pool room every time the backs turn oh no I know I didn't go out Martha I think he's a hunting for something oh so that's what he's doing I knew if I set that trap I'd catch myself a rat so that's what you were doing hmm fooling around that old trunk again oh still now oh they most cut off Marcy good enough for you what you're hunting for in there what's it to you nothing only if you're looking for the money Homer it's in the bank to the Anderson family while Oliver failed to get the $100 loan from his neighbor Homer Meister to buy the new furniture for the added bedroom so he returns home to try once more to talk Mary out of getting the things until he gets his check yes it's me well you've been pop why nothing his Mrs. Meister still mad Oliver did you get that money from Homer I did not well I'm glad I called the regal department store and they have just what I want a chef's long yeah but they're pretty high Homer told me about another place better prices but I found out that you can get a charge account at the regal and you won't have to borrow the money Oliver no no I like to pay cash for things but it is so simple Oliver and their furniture is so much better than most places better than the down-of-flight department store junior such talk why should you spend two prices for everything I tell you we can't afford their prices all right Oliver as you say we'll go to the store of your choice but I don't think it's right she mom you really want that stuff don't you yes I do the only way to get is to get it to go right down now and do it okay it's a deal now who on earth is calling oh Homer come on in well hello Mary Oliver

Souffre is home to some of the most picturesque sites on the island and as the agency with responsibility for the upkeep of majority of these sites, the Souffre Regional Development Foundation, SRDF, continues to work towards ensuring that its mandate to protect, serve and sustain the community and its heritage is fulfilled. Recent leader SRDF and Sugar Beach Advisory Resort partnered to enhance some often frequented areas in Souffre. Resort manager at Sugar Beach, Jonathan Payne says both organizations care about the development of the community, therefore such a collaboration was imperative. We have to really look after the areas and we'd like to assist the Souffre Foundation with this so the Palappas at the Beach Park were one of the areas where we really felt that we could improve. There's a lot of local visitors who go to Souffre, not just who stay with us here but who use local airbnbs, local hotels, come in for the day on the cruise ships and day tours. We want to make sure that the facilities are up to the right standard and we're just very proud to be able to assist the community and Souffre Foundation. Along the walkway we wanted to also improve there with some more painting, we're going to do some planting of more garden areas and also we've been helping in the past with some of the schools. Payne says assisting an organization that has the mandate to improve the community holistically only goes to show how seriously Sugar Beach takes its social corporate responsibility. I think there's already a very established relationship with a lot of the larger hospitality partners in the south the island particularly around the Souffre region and we want to continue having that rapport with the Souffre Foundation and keep developing and improving the areas and I would encourage businesses to really support their community social responsibility initiatives and and keep moving things along because it really does make big impactful strides to the local communities. The director of engineering at Sugar Beach Cornell Jones explains that Sugar Beach and the SRDF will be collaborating even further in the future to ensure that residents of Souffre have access to only the best. Another observation that we saw was poor lighting so we are going to increase the lighting there also and the boardwalk we're going to be doing some refinishing again and whatever bits we can do so it's us partnering with you guys we're very happy to do so for the community and for the people and from me being from the community I want to make sure these things do happen so I will keep at it. As it continues on its mission to foster social economic and cultural developments in the Souffre region the Souffre Regional Development Foundation has promised to work with its partners both in and out of Souffre for the benefits of the people. From the Souffre Regional Development Foundation I am Jeanif Konzag

I can trade with another Tim on Charles here with me, Patrick, and I want to draw your attention to developing an opportunity in this sterling cad. We're on the four-hour time frame here, and we've just completed a quality objective versus this swing structure here. Let's see, we've traded equal legs to the PIP or monitor down into 168.51. Got a nice little impulsive move off the lows, taking out that prior swing now. It's a nice divergence, momentum divergence to confirm potential now to play for a corrective phase to the outside. So looking for any pullbacks into the 170 area, watch for bullish reversal patterns, set long positions, initially targeting a move up into 172.50, which would also increase swing resistance 172.96. As always, trade the plan, the most important link manager risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


In this slot, we will do the simple hands-on, which will use the ADC, and we use it together with the interrupt. The principle will be very simple. We will configure the ADC, which will read the value, store it into the data register and then notify the microcontroller with the interrupt that we received the new data. Now the ADC with the interrupt. As usual, we start with the cubeMX, then we create the new project. Again, I'm using the F401 discovery. Like before, we use the F4 line for 1 and package LQFP64 and microcontroller stemCity to F401 RET. Okay, I can select this microcontroller and now I have my pinout. And I want to use the ADC. On this microcontroller is only one. Here on the left, I can see all possibilities. You can see we have 16 input channels for ADC and few internal ones from the temperature sensor and from other internal functions. You can here select the pin by clicking on the checkbox. But here I will select the pin manually and I use the PA0 and set it as the analog input. Now, how to read the analog values? Because this pin is unconnected and at least I want to see some known analog values. For this reason, I connect this pin, the PA0, together with my button. And my button is connected by default to PC13, which is here. Then you only need to search in the schematic and on the header connect together PA0 and PC13. After that, you can read the state of the button also with the ADC. Then this is all for my pinout. I don't need to set anything else. In the clock configuration, I am again okay with 16 MHz. It's not a problem for me. But here in the configuration at least I need to configure the ADC. Then you can look on the configuration and first we start with the parameters. The clock source and the press scalar, I am okay with the default settings, which telling me that the clock source, which is the APB2, will be divided by 2. Which is the main frequency for the ADC. In my case, because I have the 16 MHz on the APB2, then the frequency of the ADC, which I will be used on the oldest parameters, will be 8 MHz. The resolution, I am okay with the 12 bits. In case that you want to sample faster or you don't want to show precise values, you can decrease the number of bits. And I am okay with right that alignment. The scan mode is disabled because I have only one channel. Then I don't need to use the scan mode. Scan mode will be used only in case that you have multiple channels, which you want to read in the 1-1 shot. The continuous conversion means that the ADC automatically converts again and again all the sequence or one channel. For this moment, I will use the not continuous mode. I want to convert my variable only once. This continuous mode is also not used. It means that on each tagger of the ADC, I can convert some specified number of channels. And I am not using the DMAID and this does not make sense for me. End of the conversion selection is here if the end of conversion flag is okay for me. Here in the conversion mode, you can see I have only one channel, which is okay because I set only one. I am not using any external tagger like the timer or the external pane. If you want to tagger ADC on pane or on the timer, you can use this setting. But in my case, it's okay without the tagger. In the channel settings, I can set the sampling time. For my purpose, it doesn't matter because I don't require any precise sampling. Then I will set you, for example, 48, why not? The rest can be left unchanged. But definitely what I need to change is here my NVIC. In my NVIC, I need at least to enable the interrupt because we want to be notified from the end of conversion with the interrupt. And I can check here the GPLs. You can see my GPL is in the analog mode. Then everything is set properly. I can click on OK. And I can save my project. Then I can save it in my Atolic repository because I will use now the studio from Atolic.  For example, this is everything from my project setting. I can click on the OK and we can generate the project. I click on generate. It seems no errors. And I can open my project in Atolic. OK, my project is here, which is good. And we can look in our main. Like usually in our previous examples, we have here the ADC handle like for the USART or SPI. It's still the same. I have here the ADC initialization. If we look inside the initialization, we can see again we're choosing the instance, the initial parameters. And we're calling the ADC in it. And we can see there is the additional initialization because the ADC can have multiple input channels. And all these channels can be configured separately. Then for this, we have the separate configuration API for each channel. And now we can start our ADC. How to do it? Like before, we're starting with the keyword of the library, which is the HL underscore. The name of the pay ferry, which is the ADC. You can see there is also ADCX, which means some extending functionalities, which we add on this device. But I don't want this extended one. And the usually asynchronous pay ferry, like the timer, ADC and others. Starting with the keyword start. Then we search for the start. You can see I have the three starts, the standard software start. The start with the DMA and start with the interrupt. In my case, I will use the start with the interrupt. In case that you want to use the software start without IT, then if you want to detect where is the end of your conversion, you need to use the function HL underscore ADC underscore pool for conversion to detect if the IDC finished the conversion. Okay, but we need to fill this function and only one parameter which we need to add is the handle. Then we put the end symbol H ADC and we put here our handle. Okay, this will start our ADC. And now because we're using the interrupt, we need to define our callback. Like before, our callback is in the drivers source, we're using the ADC. And best way how to search for the callback is search the underscore underscore week. We search the MSP init. This is not what we want the MSP init.  This is precisely what I want. I copy this function and I put it here inside my main. Okay, now what to put here after we go inside this function, this means that our conversion which we started here has finished. And now we need to read the values from the ADC manually. Then for this we use the HL, again the ADC. The last keyword will be get. Sorry, get. And it will be get value. Then I can get the value. And the last parameter is the handle. We can use the handle from this local structure or we can use the global handle from here. It depends on you, but I think here the local one is more appropriate. Okay, and we are reading the value and I forget almost to store this value because the value return parameter, return value is the return parameter. Then I need to store it somewhere. Then for this I define here the variable. Because we have 12-bit ADC, I will use the 16-bit variable. And it will be my ADC value. I put it here. And this will store my ADC value into my variable. Now, because we are not using the continuous mode, then after this callback the ADC will stop. To run it again, we need to start it. Then we put here the HL ADC again start. Again start with the interrupt. I can use here the local handle because this is my ADC, which I want. And this will start the conversion again. Without this, the conversion run only once. Don't forget on this, please. Now I can save my project. And we can test our ADC now. I can simply compile my code. It seems no problems. And I can run my debug. My code is here. We are in the debugger. And now if we want to run our code here, we press the F8 or this button with the arrow. And I run it. Now how to detect if my code is working. I can put here the breakpoint into my callback. Okay, we put here our breakpoint. Try it again and again. And how to check the value. I can here mark the value. And here with the right click add this value into my variables. I can delete this previous one. You can see here I can see my value. If I press the F8, it is surfaced. If I press now my button on my board because it's connected together with the PA0 and I run it again. You can see the button drag the value low. This is reading the low values.  Okay, now my ADC is working. But reading the analog values like this is not so nice. It will be good for us to a little bit visualize the value or see it in the real time. Then for this we can use the tool called the STM Studio which can periodically read the data from the memory of the microcontroller and display them for us. Then we can open the STM Studio. Okay, in case that you running the STM Studio first time he can ask you to select the java.w.exe. In case that you don't know where this executable file is it will be in your C. I will show you. It will be on C, disk C. Here in the program files in Java. Here is the Java runtime environment and version which I have. And in binary and here will be the java.w.exe which is here. Then you need to mark for him this file. And then after you run it again and again he never asks about this again. Okay, we open the STM Studio. First what we need to select is the debugging interface because the STM Studio using the stealing to access the internal memory of the microcontroller. This means the STM Studio is not inclusive in this case. Then I have the stealing and SWD interface. Then what to do next? We want to check the content of our memory. Then we can here for example add the variable but we need to set the address of this variable manually and also the data type and the name which is not so nice because sometimes the compiler changes from for us the position and we cannot be sure where the variable is and we need to search in the in the map file and we not use this approach but here in the file we will use the import. We can import all the variables from our executable file. Then first we need to set the executable file. In the Atolic the executable file is the ELF. In IR it's OUT and in KEL is the AXF file. Then I will search for my executable. I will go to trainings, my cube training, my projects and here I will go to my Atolic and inside my ADC and it will be here in the Debug folder and here you can see it's my executable. Then I select this executable and here he found all my variables which I'm using in my project and here I can found my ADC value also with the proper address. I will import this variable. Click on the close. You can see he import the name, the correct address and also the data type. Then it's okay. Now if I want to display this variable in here in my viewer I need to mark it, right click on the variable and here use the send to via viewer which will send the variable here and it will be also visible then in my viewer. The last thing which I need to do is here set the correct range. Because I have the Telef bit ADC then my maximum value can be 4096 which I have to set here. Okay, then after that everything is okay and I can here run my STM studio and see my values. If I run it, I get the error. Why? Because in parallel the STM studio is using the stealing and in case that somebody else using the stealing like my debugger that it will not run then first of all I need to shut down my debugging session here. I shut down my debugging session. Okay, and now I can try to run my STM studio and now it's running. In case that I press the button you can see the value is changing in case that I toggle more. Let's try to refresh the values all the time. Okay, if you want you can change also the visualization to the bar graph or only see the values. Then this is how you can use the STM studio to see the content of your memory which will be refreshed. The refresh rate is done by the number of the values which the stealing need to watch because the stealing bandwidth is limited then if you put here more variables the refresh rate will be a little lower. But at least it's still a very nice tool if in case that you want to see all content inside. Your memory of the maker counter if you want to see the trend how it's changing and it will be very nice tool. Definitely for our case is very useful because we can see that our ADC is working. Okay, this is all from this example and we can move to the next hands-on which will be ADC with TMA.


Africa is with them. Redemption comes one day, like a storm. It will be here, Africa for Africans, but home and abroad, west of Black Moses, who propose for the return of all blacks in the diaspora back to Africa, back to Africa from the Black Star Line to effect this. Man, I'm really loving what I'm seeing in here. The repatriation is really happening. And I've been talking to people who have been in Africa, like in Africa, let me say Africa. I've been talking to people who have been in Africa for one year, two years, three years, but someone actually introduced me to someone that have lived in Africa for more than 30 years. She was not born here, but she feels like Africa is home. I don't want to talk too much, but I'd love to introduce her, but no, I'm not going to introduce her. She will introduce herself. And let's come with me. Let me... Grandma. Yes. Good to see you. It's good to see you. I know you don't shake hands, so let me get a hug. It's the year of high. Thank you so much, Grandma. Wow. Yes. It looks so beautiful, Grandma. But I see. Oh, wow. Grandma, you speak Yes, exactly. Grandma, a lot of people are talking about you. Do you know you're famous? I never thought about that. Famous. You're very famous. Yeah. Like on social media, everyone was saying, what am I? You cannot be talking about the diaspora without meeting grandma who has established one Africa in Cape Coast. I've been passing by it on from Takradi. I was passing by it. I never knew that. There is a hidden place called White Africa. It didn't even tell me your name. Oh, that's right. I didn't. Well, my name is Imaqus. That's I-M-A-H-K-U-S. All capital letters with two little dots over the U. Imaqus in Jenga, a Kofu, a Babio. Imaqus means I'm of Africa, queen of the earth. In Jenga was the name of the warrior queen from Angola. A Kofu means the mighty warrior, which I took that on when my husband was made chief. And Ababio or Ababiu means he or she who was away and has returned. So I am Imaqus or people just call me one Africa. How did you manage to settle in here? Let's talk about like you're born in America. Yes, I'm an African who was born in America, first and foremost. Come again. You're an African who was born in America. So don't call me an African American. I'm an African, first and foremost. I was born in America. Just like this person is an African who was born in Jamaica. You're an African who was born in Ghana. So we are one Africa. We're one African people. What brought you African born in America? What brought you back to the continent? Well, I have never, prior to 1987, I'd never been to the continent. Well, I backpacked through South America. I lived in Jamaica West Indies. I backpacked through other Caribbean islands. I didn't go to Europe. I went to Europe one time and I didn't like it at all. And the people in England were not friendly. So it was a quick visit to visit a friend that I had met while I was backpacking. And then, you know, I had a friend and she and I had talked about going to Africa. She had a shop that had a lot of African art and stuff. That was my first real introduction to art coming out of Africa. I had met some people from Africa, from Kenya and other places at a party or something. And I just kind of fell in love with the culture. I just loved the way the women looked, the way that they dressed. And I happened to say to one lady, oh, I like that. And she said, oh, you like it? I said, yes, it's beautiful. And they were having a fashion show and the lady went in the room and when she came back out, she gave me the dress. I was like, oh, no, it's okay. She said, no, I want you to have it. You are African. And that was my first introduction really to Africa. And so my friend, whose name was Margaret, we talked about this to a trip to Africa. We tried the first time nobody wanted to go. People are African. Why do you want to go there? I'm not going to Africa. That was the first attempt. Then we tried again. So we said, well, we're going to Egypt. Egypt is in Africa. Nobody wanted to go with us. I was like, what is wrong with this? And then, unfortunately, my friend got sick and she died. So when she died, her family moved away. And at that time, I was in a tourism transportation business with my husband, Kofu, who was then called Benjamin Robinson. He changed his name. Yeah. When we came home, we changed our name. I no longer wanted to carry the name. Not that it was bad. I loved my name. My father had meaning behind naming me, what he named me. But so I never wanted to be called Sequasia or Kandua or whatever the African names were, because I just felt like I needed to own it. So one day, a brother came into my travel agency, and it was one of those days where it was the 4th of July. It was hot as hell's bells. The air conditioner wasn't working.  And some Italians had just been in and said to me, you got to pay us $100. And I'm like, for what? They said, for garbage pickup. I didn't make $100 worth of garbage in a month. So I wasn't paying them. So this guy comes in and he says, he's an African. He said, oh, no, he said, I'm a chief. And I was like, yeah, right. And my name is Pocahontas. Because at that time, I just wasn't feeling it in that kind of morning. He said, no, no, no, no, no, I'm really a chief. I'm going to be instilled in my country. And I said, yeah, and so is that. And I guess I was being kind of facetious. I was hot. I was tired. And he says, Ghana. So I said, oh, really? He said, if you give me $5,000, I can organize a trip for you going to Ghana. I was like, yeah, I don't think so, son. Okay, you just leave your paper. And he did, he went away. And so I told my husband about it when he came. And he said, well, you know, Vienna, it's not such a bad idea. Maybe you should go because you've been trying to get to Africa twice now. So try one more time. So I met the people who were having the tour. And I joined them. My thing was, let me go. I won't take anybody with me so that if things don't work out right, they won't be looking at me and demanding their money back. So I went. And the rest is history. Because I mean, I actually fell in love with Ghana. I fell in love with Africa.  And if my Nigerian experience, if I had used my Nigerian experience, then I never would have come back to Africa. But first time, but when I got to Ghana, I fell in love with Ghana. People were so friendly, the children were well mannered. And that's not to say we weren't having challenges because trust me, we were. But there was something, you know, I remember being stopped in the middle of the night. Dark night.  I was like, that's it. I'm dead. Now, everything negative that I'd heard about Africa came to my mind. It was, oh God, they told it. Then I thought about it. I said, you know, I'm not terrified. And I should be.  So these guys, these are my people. So I'm not going to be terrified like this. So they let us go. They just want to know where we were going. And then, you know, after that, things just kept going and going. And every day, I loved Africa more and more because everywhere I looked, people looked like me. People were black. I was, and if you saw a white person was like, oh my, there's a white person. What are you doing here? It was like little children. Can't I go anywhere without you all? Okay. So it was, you know, I met some young men and they came to my hotel staying down the road. I've always lived here. I've never lived in Africa. I lived in Cape Coast for a minute, but I've always lived here. And when I came, it was Bush. Grass was up to your hips. So these two young men, by the name of Matthew and John, came to my hotel and they asked me, they said, would you like to visit my village?  Here comes old Bruni. Do we call you old Bruni? They did, they did. They didn't call me old Bruni. They didn't call me sister. Old sister. You know, would you like to visit our village? So I said, sure, why not? I've never been to Africa before. So yes. So sure enough, we came down this road. There weren't a lot of houses or anything here. We went next door. That was an abandoned house and it was an elder there who was the caretaker and I couldn't understand why he was a caretaker. It was an empty house, vacant. But anyway, then we came over here at where we currently stand, one Africa. And I remember standing there and looking out at the ocean and looking to the west of me and seeing the Elmina Castle dungeons there. And I had already visited the dungeons. But it was something standing there between two major edifices that held our ancestors. Some people might say, oh, that's a coincidence. It's not a coincidence that the ancestors brought me back to where it began for us. So sure enough, I prayed. I asked the ancestors. I asked the universe. I said, whoever has the power, if you give me this, I will be an obedient servant. But I need to be here.  So we went to the village, had a really nice morning, met the people, played with the children. People were so nice. So I went back to my hotel. A few, maybe about 10 days later, we left going back to New York. I couldn't wait to get home so I could tell my king man, tell him what, I'm ready to go to Africa. I'm ready to move. And he was, and I say was cause he is transitioned. He was really, really such a cool guy and he supported everything that I wanted to do. He didn't think I was crazy. Everybody else thought I'd fallen out of a tree house, including my kids. But he didn't think that. So we came to Africa together in 80. He came in 87. I went home in September. He came back in December. I said, you need to go see what I saw. Then we could sit down and talk.  So he stayed a month. When he came back in January, he was like, baby, sit down so we can figure out how to make this happen. We go into Africa. Just like that. So we visited 88, 89, and we had been invited by the traditional rule of Cape Coast, Nanen Bra, who had been sitting on his stool 48 years when he transitioned. And he invited us. He said that we were Africa's children.  So he invited 16 of us that were in our group. And every time we came, we visited with him. We brought him to the United States. But in 1989, my husband comes in that we were here in Ghana. And he says, I met these people and they want to make me a chief. Well, I said, what, a chief, an African chief?  He said, I don't. And I said, why would somebody want to make you a chief? What are you, a dollar bill with legs or something? So we laughed. He said, no, he thought they were having church because he was a practicing Hebrew. But when he joined them, he found that they were not having church. They were having a fundraiser. They were trying to raise money to put electricity in their village. So just being the kind of person he is, all you have to know, you need something, he would help. Okay. So that's what he said. Okay. I don't know how much it's going to cost, but you tell me how much it's going to cost and I'll tell you what I can do. So then he thought about it. He said, I'm going to take it.  So I said, okay, when are you going to, when are they going to make you a chief? He said, it'll take about three weeks because you have to do this or I'm like, I can't stay in three weeks. I got to go back to America. We have a travel agency that's being manned by the clerk. We have our cars set apart because the drivers, me and him are here in Ghana. So I just told him, I said, look, before you leave, just make sure you find me some land on the ocean. Not in the mountains, but on the ocean. He said, okay, I got this. About three weeks when he came in, he had called me and told me I got land, baby. Wow. I was like, really? He said, got land. You like it? So true enough, we packed up bag and baggage for our final move and that was in 1990, around June.  You got to go to your village. So we went to the village and when we got to the village, you know, and behold, I knew all those people because those are the people that I met were in 1987. Okay? Matthew and John were still, they were there. John is still here. In fact, John lives in Elmina. Matthew lives in Kumasi. So after we had this reunion because nobody knew that we were like this, they didn't know we were partners. He said, I'm going to take you to the land that they gave me when they made me a chief. It's the same land that I stood on in 1987 and asked the ancestors and the universe to give me the exact same place, not down the road, but the same, same place. So it was, you know, we talk about miracles. Yeah. That was a miracle. And because my husband, I never talked about this spot, just that I wanted to live on the ocean. So for me, in coming to Ghana as a business woman, I couldn't very well say to my clients because I already had two disappointments. Nobody wanted to go. I couldn't say to them what to expect. So it meant that I needed to go.  So I couldn't say Ghana was a great place until I came and tasted it. And I fell in love. And then I said, okay, I've got a great idea. I'm going to live in Africa in Ghana. And my clients, they can come here and fight me. I was done. So, I mean, so we moved and in keeping with the commitment that I made in 1987 that I would be an obedient servant if they gave me this. I couldn't be anything else but an obedient servant. How has that experience been like 32 years experience in Ghana? How has that experience like? It's been challenging. It's been good. It's been challenging from a standpoint that in making this journey, I've had to give up a lot of things in America. The most important thing that I'd given up was my family because for both of us, both my husband and I had children. We had six children between us. And nobody wanted to come to Africa but us.  How can you leave us? I'm like, I gotta go. You know what? I want to know the reason why you think your family never wanted to move to Africa with you because Africa is just like anywhere else in the world. So, what was keeping them from coming? Well, the same thing that keeps or kept a lot of Africans born in America and other parts of the diaspora from coming to Africa. The media has always been so negative. All we hear about is war, famine, starving children, poverty. They never show us anything good. When we went to school, they didn't teach us about Africa.  The other picture that we saw was Tarzan and Jane. Some white man swinging through the trees. Oh, okay, riding on an elephant. That was it. We saw African people that were naked. They don't wear clothes over there, don't wear shoes. But that is the picture that they painted for us. So they didn't make you want to come here. They didn't show you the beauty of Africa. They only showed us the worst of what was going on. It's just like, I've been in this business for a long time. I see Europeans that come. They will go find the worst village to go stand in front of so they can say, I'm in Africa. See the village is gone. Okay. But to say come in and see, and we've progressed since 1987. But even in 1987, we weren't barbaric and backwards the way that they told the world that we were. So until I came and saw for myself, then I would still have the same mind set. Then why would I want to go to Africa? Or when you say that a lot of Africans born in America, you call me, hey, African, don't call me no African. I'm like, what?  I ain't no African. I said, really? What are you? He said, I'm Jamaican. Okay, but you're an African. But he didn't want to hear that. A lot of people, even today, I like that. Mommy, I'm sorry, Grandma. I want you to... You call me, Mommy.  What is a message that you have for people with things that like, I'm not an African. Don't call me an African. You've been here from your experience in Africa so far. What are you going to tell people who don't see themselves as an African? Well, first of all, I have to give them an example and analogy. We have a almond tree and we have a coconut tree. When the nut falls to the ground on the almond tree and it germinates and it grows, is it an almond tree or is it a coconut tree? If the nut falls from the almond tree, you have an almond tree and you have a coconut tree. The almond tree nut germinates and grows. Does it grow into an almond tree or a coconut tree? Equals to almond tree. Equals to an almond tree. So if, not if, when they took our ancestors out of the castle dungeons and transported us across the waters to the Americas, when did we become American? Did we wash away or lose being African when we crossed the waters? So we're still Africans. So you talk about us being, people talk about us being separated. We're separated only because we've allowed ourselves to be separated. You're an African born in Ghana. He's an African. Born in Kenya. She's an African. Born in wherever she gets, but we're first and foremost Africans. So we have to set aside the stereotypes that have been set down for us. Just like we talk about, we have the power to define. We talk about our ancient history that most, I get students in here all the time, they know nothing about our history. So the thing is that I tell people, come and see you go to Europe. I'd be scared to go to Europe, okay, but not scared to come to Africa so that we should come.  It's not a job. It's a blessing that the ancestors have chosen me as one of those to reach out and bring the family home. And I do that by example. One Africa has always had an open gate. Come and see what it is possible for us to do as African people. We could do it. I have a beautiful place here that was nothing except one great big yard with three trees in it, three coconut trees. That was it. So we'll take a walk and you'll see everything you see we've done. And we, I'm rich. Yes, there's always, she's rich. Got a lot of, no, I don't have a lot of money, but I am rich. And my husband and I were able to do this. One, my husband was a retired New York City firefighter. So as a retiree, he had a guaranteed monthly income. It wasn't big, it was small. So when people say my thing, cause I do pre-patriation counseling, which is how to prepare to escape. I call it an escape from the Americas. It is an escape. Didn't Bob Marley tell us? He told us, okay, it's an exodus. We need to get the hell out of there. So my thing is, if you're thinking about moving, you think that maybe I want to do this, then hop, start downsizing. You got four TVs, one in every room. Get rid of, sell those three, keep one. You have all of these, you know, you got sneakers up to the ceiling. Every year you buy a pair of sneakers, four, five, 600,000, one, maybe two. Okay. You can't wear but one at a time. So you start downsizing. I opened up my closet and I sold everything that was in there. Make me offer. I turned my things into money so that we have to begin to save, like the sister we'll talk to later. She completely downsized. If we do that and we come with an open mind, when some people come and say, well, they complain, this is not America. This is better. We just have to do a little bit less. We have to be able to humble our spirit and be able to get involved with our African family on this side. Like I'm really sorry for making you stand, but I feel like you're so strong and healthy. It used to have to take me around because you know what, I just want to tell people that they can't do everything here in Africa. Everything is possible. You moved all the way from America, came in, sat down here. You have a beautiful resort in here. I would love to tell people out there that whenever you come to Cape Coast, this is the place that you need to stay. Elmina, Cape Coast. Let me correct you. Okay. Whenever you come to Cape Coast, make sure you come to Elmina because that's where I'm in. I'm going to show you around and I'm going to do another video. So after this video, just go and check the next video about one Africa, how she brought up one Africa and everything that you need to know about one Africa, how to book it. And let's don't say she. Let's say how they, because it was myself and my partner. Wow. I had a partner. I had a brother that we brought from Jamaica West Indies, your daddy, Bongo and his wife, Mamadi. So it wasn't just me. Okay. I mean, me set the fire. Okay. But we brought. You're going to know all of that in the next video. It's your boy, Mr. Ghana, baby. And I hope you guys enjoy this amazing interview.


Welcome to the Voice of America's Newswords. The United Nations says refugees are fleeing the Russian war in Ukraine by the millions. Exodus. Speaking from the Polish border with Ukraine, a UN representative said, most of the refugees are women and children. The UN said, it is the fastest exodus from a war-torn country that Europe has seen since World War II. An exodus is a situation in which many people escape from a hostile environment. An exodus also happens when a large group of people leaves a place at the same time after a gathering, such as a sports event.


Today, we're going to make my chocolate pie. This is in the first volume cookbook and it's a great recipe for Thanksgiving that's coming up soon. Or, eating out of the week, it's so simple and easy. The first thing I do is I prick a frozen pie crust with a fork and I usually prick along the sides a little bit as well. Then, you can hear my oven is preheated, so then we place it in a preheated oven. The oven is preheated to 350 degrees. I'm actually going to turn that up to 375. Then we're going to set the timer for eight minutes. Two tablespoons. We're going to melt it in a, I like just to do it in the microwave, it's quick and simple and easy. So, I'll put you a couple tablespoons off of one and a whole stick of the other. We're going to put this in the microwave, just going to put this in there long enough to melt it. And I'll just keep it on it. Fries and flour, you're going to need sugar, two eggs, cocoa, salt, vanilla. Take a look at our recipe book, it's great. The recipes are one per page, it's large print, it's easy to read, has a spiral so you can lay it down flat on the table when you're working and if you can't see good, I made it larger print for those that don't see well anymore. Okay. We're going to put in our sugar and then our eggs, just like we were making a cake or something. And once we mix those up, we'll use a spoon, okay? So, here's one egg, we're going to whisk this together, put in our vanilla as well. So, you're going to add about a teaspoon of vanilla, I'm going to add a quarter teaspoon of salt, four tablespoons of cocoa, four tablespoons of flour. So, I'm actually going to put in the flour first so that I don't get cocoa in my flour. So, there's one, two, a rising flour, we've got two more, tablespoons to go. So, you've got six tablespoons of cocoa and four tablespoons of self-rising flour. We're just going to mix this up, it's liquid, you can just pour it into the shell while it's on the rack like this so that it's easier. Get this yummy, fudgy paste in the oven, Amy's already excited about making something yummy. This is a deep dish crust, and really this pies for a regular crust, but it'll still be good. Everybody loves the crust anyway. We're going to get this in the oven. Just make sure you cook it until it's done. I have on the recipe book 30 minutes, but it is a chewy, fudgy pie, so just make sure you get it done. You don't check it with a toothpick. Don't set the timer for 30 minutes. Yes. You can see the pie has risen, but if you shake it, it's a little jiggly in the middle, and it has been 30 minutes, and it's probably going to have to cook another 15 minutes. Y'all remember that on your recipe, but mark it down. You can see now it's not jiggling anymore, so everybody's oven is different, so make sure when you make this fudge pie that when you pull it out, if you shake it and it's still jiggly, it's not quite set up yet. Just give it 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and then check it again. You can turn the temperature down to 325 if you're afraid your crust is going to get too brown, but there we have it, a fudge pie. It's like a brownie pie, and it's really, really good, so it's going to be fudgy on the inside, but you still want it set up good. We'll cut that thing in a few minutes. Okay, it's time to eat the pie. You can serve this with ice cream, or glass of milk, or whipping cream, however you want to serve it. It'll work with my little crusties. Let me see if I can do it with this one. I want a pretty picture, y'all. I don't want the crust broken. There we go. Guys, let's see if it's good. Let's put some cool whip on my bite. Why don't we? You can see that it's nice and fudgy. It's like a brownie pie, kind of, so yum, yum, yum. Oh, yum. Let's put some more. Thanks for watching Colored Valley Cooks, where we cook, like mama did. Now, it's getting almost time for Thanksgiving. You younger generation, if you don't know how to cook that well, if you'll make a pie and sign up for a pie, I guarantee you'll be happy and pleased with the results, and it's very easy as well.


Still on Ukraine and Russia, NATO forces will not be present in Ukraine, and this was stated by Justin Higgins, former U.S. policy adviser early tonight on PLOS Politics. He added that if the West wants to help Ukraine win the war, the West needs to provide more weapons for Ukraine. There will not be any NATO forces in Ukraine. That is full stop. That will not happen. What Putin is trying to warn against and he's basically alluding to potential nuclear war for people that get involved in Ukraine is he wants to prevent his most costly reality from coming true, which is the U.K., France, EU countries, Germany, the United States setting up a long term and robust counterinsurgency. That means giving Ukrainians who are fighting for freedom, who are fighting for economic development, who are fighting against imperialism the weapons they need, the medical supplies they need, the food they need to be able to kill as many Russians as possible and make it painful for Putin. The West needs to provide more weapons today, not tomorrow. Russia has invaded with a third, so 50,000 of the 150,000 troops that you mentioned to start the segment. If Russia were to put in all of their troops, they could take over Ukraine. That is a reality of the situation. It's unfortunate, but it would happen. In addition to that, the West would not have failed. If the West basically supports the guerrilla warfare and freedom fighters in Ukraine that will remain. So if Russia were to take over Ukraine, that is not the end of fighting. Ukrainians want their freedom. They will fight for a long, long time as long as they have food, they have medical supplies, they have weapons, they have gasoline, they have vehicles, they have intelligence. So that is incumbent upon the West to basically support these counterinsurgencies, these guerrilla warfighters that you see all throughout all of these different types of conflicts. And if Ukraine can keep it up for a year or two years with the support of the West, it will create enough dead Russians sent back to Russia in body bags where Putin will have to stop this invasion.


First of all, just to say that it's great to be in Dublin and the last time I was here was for a commemoration of the Dublin lock-out and the workers in their great struggle against William Murphy, an employer who perhaps we should remember makes Jim Ratcliffe or Binyos in range map look like a big softy, but one of those moments in history for the trade unionists amongst us, that remind you perhaps they can come lose a battle but go on to ultimately win the war. And then of course as now they were fighting for the right to organise, the right to a fair wage, the right to basic standards of decency at work in society. And fast forward a century, and I think we're at a very similar crossroads right across Europe from Dublin to Athens, Madrid to Paris, working people are increasingly questioning the legitimacy of a European political elite that seems out of touch with their reality, semi detached from the lives of ordinary Europeans and in some cases in hoc or entranced by the interests of global finance. A year ago Euro barometer which measures public attitudes across the continent found that for the first time ever more European citizens considered the EU to be undemocratic than democratic. A deeply worrying development. And I would argue not just a product of Europe's institutional flaws, but also of the real lived experience of EU sponsored austerity privatisation and liberalisation programs. From the UK government's sell off of the Royal Mail, which I have to say colloquially in the UK we describe as selling tenets for a ffiver, to the price hikes and blatant profiteering of the big six energy companies, the public in Britain blames Brussels and Westminster in equal measure. Many of us trust that neither the European nor their domestic political class is either willing or able to stand up for public interest against big global business, all to provide protection against the harsher wings of globalisation. And in Britain our complex relationship with Europe is entering a new and dangerous phase. Earlier this year as we were discussing earlier David Cameron promised an in out referendum on our membership of the EU if he's re-elected in 2015 on the basis of a renegotiated treaty. And it's quite clear to us that the aim is to repatriate workers rights, pregnancy agency working time and frankly not with a view to improving them. And it's a start that's driven more by the need to manage his discontented right wing back benches and the alarm at the threat posed by the UK Independence Party than any national case. But it's a political game that's only been made possible by that rising tide of anti-EU sentiment in the UK and an appeal to certain other governments in the EU that more UK octats are the price of keeping Britain in. Whichever way you look at it, the reality we face is this. The European project as we know it, a dynamic single market counterbalanced by good public services and generous workplace rights is fraying around the edges. Now back in 1975, when the campaign on Britain's membership of the EU was at its height, my dad was a shop steward in a car factory and like most trade union activists then certainly from his union, the T&D, he was against what he called the common market. And I remember having a sticker on his moped that read something like, vote no to the rich man's club. Now I was a teenager at the time and like all good trade unionist daughters, I decided I was going to make up my own mind so I sent off all the materials on the yes no campaigns. I'm not claiming to be a typical teenager by the way, but I did find out more about the arguments for and against and somehow in the process I also came across a photograph of some women workers I think from Belgium and they were on strike and they were holding up a placard that says give us article 119. And I was like, what's article 119? But I found out of course that that was about the absolute principle and right in the treaty for women and men to receive equal pay. They were on strike for equal pay and they saw Europe as being the ultimate arbitrator that that was their right by law. Now of course that I found very exciting as a teenager, the very idea that workers across borders could feel themselves entitled to certain rights and protections and ensure that employers couldn't compete against each other by undercutting pay. It inspired me and of course it was that vision that was precisely the same vision that Jacques de Law famously used to win over delegates at the Congress of the British TEC back in 1988. The idea that workers needn't be mere pawns in the rich man's club, but instead could benefit from a social market designed to balance the power of capital with rights. And protections for labour. But the bargain that has held our continent together since the 1950s is now in grave danger of unwinding. And I guess one real political question is how has this been allowed to happen? And the answer I think lies partly in what some might describe as a crisis in social democratic thinking and political organisation. Over three decades as globalisation grew and neoliberalism came to dominate, many social democratic parties began to lose confidence in their own ability to shape markets to suit society's needs. Of course the values of redistribution of wealth held true, but it increasingly became a case of redistribution to the poor from the slightly better of. And in Britain, for example, millions of low paid workers depend on billions of pounds worth of tax credits funded by the taxpayer. There was still an interest too in the redistribution of power. And in the late 90s, Will Hutton's thesis of stakeholder capitalism drew some warm words from Tony Blair. But I guess things particularly shifted when under the pressure of the cost of reunification, Germany had been the very model of co-determination and that sense of stakeholder capitalism. Became dubbed the sick man of Europe and increasingly the German model at that time looked less and less attractive and many people in the British Labour Party started turning their eyes towards Bill Clinton's American economics, the guidance. And for a while it all seemed to work. After all, if you can't be some, join them. Weak regulation of the finance sector, shareholder supremacy and weaker unions were all fine as long as jobs and easy access to credit were clenched agree. I remember talking to somebody who worked in the policy unit at number 10 down the street during the Labour government years. And he told me he'd been looking at the whole issue of what was happening in terms of growing inequality and in terms of the collapse of living standards that of course kicked in long before the crash occurred. And of course that many economists now agree was a key driver of the crash. But he said he couldn't get anybody's attention. This was not something that the government was focused on and the rest, as they say, was history. But the big question today is how we move forward, whether we can begin to sketch out the contours of the post crash settlement for Europe that is greener, stronger and fairer. A new model that's attuned to the central challenges that face us, like climate change, energy scarcity, rising inequality, social and demographic change and of course an industrial landscape that's being reshaped at huge speed. And I think most of us understand that of course we can't just rewind the tape and that the starting point is pretty daunting. We do have ageing societies, we do have challenges of mass migration. I think we're facing a very serious challenge in the rise of right-wing political extremism and that's all served to underline that collective feeling of profound insecurity. The narrative that we're increasingly hearing about Europe is one of soup kitchens. Young couples moving back in with their parents, the poor going without medicine, horrific murders of migrant workers by fascist thugs. Two weeks ago the Red Cross published a major report underlying the scale of poverty and inequality, social exclusion and mass unemployment afflicting many EU countries. The headline statistics speak for themselves, a 75% increase in the number of Europeans using food banks since 2009. The suicide rate amongst Greek women more than W and even in Germany 5 million people losing what they regard as their middle class status. Equally disturbing as the facts about Europe's jobs crisis across the continent, the jobless rate is 12%. Nearly 6 million under 25 year olds without a job. In Spain as many of us are aware of over half of all young people unemployed, a ticking time bomb. As the Red Cross report suggested, the really worrying thing is that it could get an awful lot worse. To quote from the Red Cross, the long term consequences of this crisis have yet to serve this. The problems could be felt for decades. The economic crisis is creating the conditions for widespread social crisis. They talk about growing gap in the distribution of resources, the rich becoming richer and the poor becoming poorer and how competition for shrinking resources could bring about growing xenophobia, discrimination and social exclusion as well as abuse and domestic problems. The situation in my book has been made so much worse by the EU's response to the crash, which frankly could have been taken straight from a 1980s free market textbook. More labour market deregulation, structural reforms that erode workers' terms and conditions and the fundamental right to collectively bargain in the programme of countries, liberalisation of markets, privatisation of services. And for southern Europe, near permanent austerity, the troika in government may say that the medicine is necessary and in fact in many cases in our saying it's worked, the economy is improving. Well of course we understand that stable bond yields and debt sustainability are important, but frankly try telling the unemployed junster in Madrid or the zero hours worker in London or the middle class professional in Athens who is now living on the street that it's okay, the economy is getting better.  If the EU is about little more than protecting the single currency at all costs, privatising services and keeping it tightly on public spending, then public support for European integration and the European ideal will diminish as surely as night follows day. From the trade union movement's perspective, Europe needs to rediscover the values that served it so well, not just during the long post world boom, but also through the challenges posed by the oil crisis and the economic cancer revolution of the 1980s. Now it's not the time to reject the European social model, but to reinvent it for a new age. For us decent working conditions, decent services and decent welfare aren't part of the problem, they're part of the answer. Of course I recognise that the world has changed. We all know about the rise of China, India, Brazil and other emerging superpowers. We understand the rise in health, pension and social care costs of our ageing population and we know that the EU can't duck reform. But if Europe is to prosper in the decades ahead, we need to play to our own strengths rather than imitate a poor copy of American-style capitalism. I see there as being three central priorities for us. First, political renewal. The advance of US star near liberalism, the spread of non-productive financial capitalism, downward pressure on workers' wages have all taken their toll. Social democracy hasn't exactly been an electrally attractive proposition of late. In Germany, the SPD scored just 26% in the recent election, a consequence perhaps of the structural reforms that took place in the 2000s. In Norway, the right was triumphant two months ago, despite the vast reserves built up in the country's sovereign wealth fund. In Spain and Greece, as in Britain, Conservatives now hold power. Despite the evident failure of neoliberalism, given the financial crash, the left seems to have lost its self-confidence to intervening global markets to defend welfare systems and to stand up to overweening corporate power. But there are glimmers of hope. In Britain, where we're less than 18 months away from what I think is going to be the most important election in a generation, the Labour Party is beginning to change the terms of the political debate. In my book, Ed Miliband has certainly made a number of bold and correct calls. He's put the issue of responsible capitalism on the agenda. He's made the case for pre-distribution, or in plain language, tackling the root causes of inequality. That must include not just a minimum wage or a voluntary living wage, but rebuilding new forms of collective bargaining for fair wages and a fair labour market. Of course, in his recent conference speech, he promised a 20-month freeze on energy bills if he's elected. I can't describe to you the hysteria that followed that commitment. However, it's proved to be not just popular with voters, but a signal that Labour is prepared to intervene in failing markets and challenge the primacy of big corporations. He's sent clear signals that whereas Labour had largely abandoned the motion of a mixed economy and was relaxed about creeping privatisation of public services such as the NHS, public ownership does matter after all. So to our second priority, and that would be to level the playing field for European workers. If you have a single market, then the logical corollary is that you need a single set of Labour rules, and that these should be based not just on the lowest common denominator, as some would have it, but on decent standards. To put it bluntly, I'm very clear not just in the UK, but Europe needs a pay rise, and to me that's plain common sense to stop good employers being undercut by the bad, and to put money back into workers' pockets as one of the most effective ways of boosting demand. Obviously there's a big role for unions here, and that underlines the need for policy change to promote collective bargaining. We're also arguing for worker representation on company remuneration committees and boards and modern rages councils. It's also vital that social protections once again inform policy making at the highest levels, and that's why EU treaties need to include a social protocol to guarantee respect for welfare and labour rights. And then the third and final priority must be to change the collective European mindset on how we get ourselves out of the current mess. With even the IMF warming against further austerity, we need to think about more durable solutions for the long term. And I believe that the EU's priorities must be the priorities of EU citizens investment for the future, sustainable growth, decent jobs, homes and living standards. Now while the German government may stand accused of imposing austerity on other nations, my trade union colleagues in the German DGB through the European TUC have been calling for a people's plan for Europe, a 21st century marshal plan to renew our continent's infrastructure, decarbonise our economies and get people back to work. It's a great idea. It's about breaking the vicious cycle of economic decline, shrinking demand and falling living standards. And we believe that there are crucial, big improvements that could be delivered in a whole range of areas. Energy transformation, sustainable water management, transport schemes such as the European Transport Network, education and training, especially for our young people, expansion of broadband, economic regeneration from support to SMEs to low interest loans to micro-credit programmes. An investment in public services such as health, welfare, eldercare, childcare, social housing on which economic success depends. Of course the big question is how you fund it and some have put a very strong case for euro bonds. We in the trade union movement have long championed the cause of an international financial transactions tax on the trillions of euros traded daily in the equity and derivatives markets. That's a positive progressive agenda, getting our economy back on track, getting young people into jobs, giving people the chance to provide a decent income for their families. In the long run that's the best way to deal with our debts and to fund our unique social model. And it's the best way of rebuilding democratic support for the European ideal. Now I'm an optimist. I believe it is possible to revitalise a social Europe. Historically it's always been critical that we balance those interests of free trade, open markets and companies with those of citizens, workers and unions. It's an ideal that served our continent well through good times and bad and it's a bargain that we need to reconstruct to help us meet the complex challenges of the 21st century. So I'll just finish by saying this. Europe has been tested before, after the destruction of the Second World War, after the Berlin Wall came down and after enlargement to the East almost a decade ago. And each time the continent has succeeded because it has chosen to take the high road, because collectively we refuse to walk away from social solidarity that has brought the diverse peoples of Europe together. Today in the midst of crisis we have to remain true to those same values and give the people of Europe hope and confidence in a better future for all. Thank you.


Hello Earth citizens, my name is Courtney, and I'm a brain education instructor from Boston. Today I want to show you a 10 minute routine for calming stress. So let's get right to it. You can do this sitting on the floor or in a chair with your feet flat on the ground and take a deep breath in your nose, mouth exhale. Again, breathe in and out. And just tell yourself in this moment, everything I feel is okay as you breathe in and out. Having stress is okay, I am okay. Now let's take our fingertips and start to tap around the temples. If you feel comfortable, close your eyes.  I have stress, it's okay. Breathing out, I have stress, it's okay. Then tap right on top of your eyebrows. Breathing in, breathing out. I have stress, it's okay. Then move your hands back and tap the outline of your ears. So up and around, follow the outline of your ears. Breathing in, out. I have stress, it's okay.   Breathing in and out. Then you can rest your hands down and start to shake your head and neck like you're saying no. As if to shake away your stress, clear your mind, to shake away excess thinking. Breathing in, out. Slowly stop, make a gentle fist and start to tap your upper abdomen. From the perspective of chakras, this is where we hold how we feel about ourselves. So when we're stressed, this area can feel a little tight, a little tender. When you're comfortable, close your eyes. Breathe in, I have stress, it's okay. Exhale out, I have stress. It's okay.  I have stress, it's okay. Now drop to your lower abdomen to help ground and center yourself. Take a deep breath in, out.  Breathing in and out. Lastly, take your fingertips and tap your chest. Our chest is most responsive to stress, most easily blocked by stress. So tap right on your sternum. Exhale, tap underneath your collar bones. Breathe out, tap all around your chest. Close your eyes, feel your body.  Close your eyes, feel your fingertips. Breathing in and out.  And exhale slowly. Breathe in comfortably. Exhale slowly.   Feel your hands, feel your palms, feel your fingers. Next time you breathe in, let your hands drift a little farther away. And as you exhale, let them come closer without touching. Breathing in, open. Move slowly. Exhale, close. Move with the natural rhythm of your breath and feel your hands. On your next exhale, turn your hands away from you and push forward. Next inhale, turn your hands towards you and come closer. Exhale, push. Inhale, return. Once again, you can close your eyes. Move with the pace of your own breath. Now as you exhale, imagine pushing out what you no longer need. Breathing in, breathing out, stress. Breathing in, breathing out, worry. Breathing in, now imagine as you inhale, breathing in what you do need. Breathing in, love. Breathing out, breathing in, comfort. Breathing out, breathing in, self-compassion. Breathing out, continue. Exhale, what you no longer need. Inhale, what you do need. Bringing your hands back to your body. Resting one on your heart center, the other on your lower abdomen. Breathe in, breathe out. And gently push your hands into your body, giving yourself support, care. And take a few breaths with your lower abdomen. Let it expand with the inhale. Relax with your exhale. Breathing in, breathe out. Then gently sweep repeatedly from your chest to your lower abdomen. Inhale, wealth exhale. How did it go? Please remember that stress is natural and it's okay to have stress, but it's also important to have ways that we can calm and relax ourselves when we notice that we do. I hope this video was useful. Please write in the comments below what you felt.  See you next time.
