While I'm working on the next installment of the 2001 franchise videos, I am working on it by the way I don't have any excuses. I'm just taking too long. I Have a handful of television and movie Recommendations I want to make I don't want to take the time to give each one of these their own video review So instead I'll just go through this list quickly number one is Jonathan strange and mr. Norrell on BBC one. I've tweeted and posted about this on tumblr and Facebook It's I just finished watching episode five of a seven part series. It is excellent The series is very faithful to the book. I think it is doing it great justice There are some tremendous performances in the series that's something that's missing in most television and film is actual acting I highly recommend it speaking of BBC one Again, this is something else. I've tweeted and posted about as orphan black. They're just about done with the third series if you haven't watched this series before You should start at the beginning episode one of season one. It's very complex There are a lot of characters most of the characters are played by one actress Tatiana Maslani Who you're seeing here. I have to tell you the the first season I Started to get the feeling that I get with most television series that it was going in circles The same things were happening over and over they were never resolving anything They would start to fall into that trap a number of times during the first season and in the second and third seasons Honestly, but they always end up surprising me and going in some new direction or adding some new character or some new plot device that again Surprises me and if you've been following my reviews for any time at all You know that unpredictability is the thing that I value most and also the performances by Tatiana Maslani It's not just a gimmick. She's actually doing a really amazing job of playing all these different characters and I didn't think much about it until Most of the way through the first season I realized that I regarded these Different characters as entirely different people not one person playing different parts even when there are Multiple characters on the screen simultaneously. I don't catch myself thinking. Oh, this is just a camera trick So yeah, I recommend orphan black And again as long as we're talking about BBC There's a series called black mirror is difficult to describe I've seen people compare it to Twilight Zone and I don't think that's an accurate Comparison I I have to say though the only memorable episode is The first episode of series one and I can't even describe it to you other than to say it's One of the most amazing things I've ever seen one of the most remarkable Pieces of television. I have ever seen They established the premise within the first minute and all the way through the show. I was I was shaking my head thinking They're not gonna do this. They can't do this, but they did That first episode of black mirror I can't say it enough. It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen and You have to see it that one episode anyway Daredevil the Netflix Marvel series now I've said before that I don't recommend Marvel movies or Marvel productions because Marvel and Disney they cheat artists. They don't pay artists and they treat artists badly They don't even credit artists and I haven't changed my mind about that. However Having grown up with comics and having grown up with Daredevil I wanted to see the first episode just out of curiosity to see if it was any good and I couldn't stop watching it I ended up watching the entire first season 13 episodes I think It wasn't just good. It was excellent It was excellent all the way through Good performances excellent script excellent direction except for a Vincent Dinafrio who played Wilson Fisk the kingpin I thought he was pathetic He just he looked like a giant baby but Here's where the strength of a good script and good direction can get around a Bad actor or a bad performance The rest of the show was so good and so well done that I could I could look past that and That's a that's unusual speaking of comic book Series the flash I tried to watch the flash and It was the opposite of Daredevil it was the opposite of Jonathan strange and orphan black it was Bad acting bad script. It was exactly what I expected It's what I usually expect from television a bunch of lackluster characters that I don't care anything about who are Too cute too good-looking too young standing around in a room with transparent walls and magic computers Trying to look flinty and badass and just reciting lines There was nothing interesting going on in the show. I watched episode 12 by the way that had a villain named plastic I was never interested all the way through the show. I Was never entertained The whole time I was just thinking this is really bad and between the times that they were Standing around doing nothing but talking about solving crimes in their in their crime lab They would take turns pairing off and giving heartfelt speeches to each other while Soap opera music swelled.  It was really bad and again, it's exactly what I expected from the flash honestly Okay, now a couple of pilots that I happen to see the first episode of a show called parallels This is Created by the the same man who created a miniseries on sci-fi channel about ten years ago called The Lost Room, which was one of my favorite television shows of recent years Parallels is a very similar concept. In fact, I'm tempted to call it the same concept just in a different setting The first episode was entertaining it started to fall into this even just with this one episode this this Circular events and tropes happening But I'm willing to give it to a second look when the second episode comes along I'm afraid it might be too similar to sliders Which I did not like But we'll see I like the first episode anyway now another pilot of a show called mr. Robot. I Had no idea what this was I Saw it there online. I downloaded. I watched it. It was very good It's about a hacker Who uncovers not so much a conspiracy, but he he uncovers something that needs to be exposed in the press The performance by this young man who plays the lead character Was amazing. He did a really effective job of playing an uncomfortable introvert loner His performance was so uncomfortable that it had me Squirming just watching him and that's a sign of an excellent performance So mr. Robot, I recommend that you find the first episode and when the series starts Watch it. I Hope it stays good now A handful of movies I saw three movies over the weekend Jada Rasky's Dune or Yada Rasky's Dune about a Alejandro Yada Rasky the filmmaker Who the Spanish filmmaker who tried to create a movie version of Dune in the mid 1970s? I've heard raves about this documentary and people saying after seeing this people saying this movie needs to be made It needs to be made. I was never that impressed With what I saw during the show. I think people are overselling it. Yada Rasky had a talent for finding New young talent. He discovered HR Giger, Mobius, Chris Foss, Dan O'Bannon The people who became the best in their field. I have to say though I don't think this would have been a good movie. I really don't. I think it would have ended up looking like Barbarella or Star Crash. I think it would have been really bad.  All right moving on recent films X Machina Which got a lot of positive reviews I have to say this was better than I thought it was going to be and when I say better. I mean it was watchable. I Was expecting it to be just Unwatchable. There's so many movies these days, especially science fiction movies that people rave about and They're terrible. They just stink This had a lot of good things going for it The plot though was not one of them in hindsight. It was entirely predictable. I mean The description of the movie would go something like a hateful genius invents thinking robot and What would be the next sentence in that description? You've already determined the rest of the movie just by me setting it up like that hateful genius builds thinking robot robot kills him. I Didn't spoil it by saying that just now because you already knew It was better directed than most films the script was pretty good. The performances were okay I would say watch it. Don't pay money for it though I do have to say that I spotted a moment near the end of the film where I said This is where the movie should end. This is exactly where the moment where the movie should end But it didn't end the director continued on too long and created a kind of Fairy tale silly ending that I didn't accept at all The reason I thought this was going to be so bad is because the the director was the guy who wrote the screenplay for The most hatefully awful excuse for a science fiction film. I've ever seen in recent years called Sunshine Someday I'm gonna have to devote an entire video just to that movie because it's so so bad Hatefully bad and I'm using that that word hateful Deliberately and Speaking of movies and the way they should end. I also saw it follows a recent horror movie Plot-wise this movie was not again not at all unique. It was about a group of teenagers who encounter a ghost and they do all the things that teenagers do the The adult nature of the movie Was was a bit unique When I used to see movies like this when I was younger the thing I found most aggravating about them was how these teenagers They never made the right choices. They never did the right thing. They never made any rational choices They never went to any adults. They never went to their parents They never went to the police and the and the characters in this film They did all those same things except they weren't isolated in camp or or Or on a road trip or anything like that. They were in their own homes Their parents were supposedly right there. They talked about their parents all the time But the parents never appeared. They were just like, where are they? But as an adult as a middle-aged adult I've come to realize that That kind of irrational Behavior is the most realistic thing about these teenage horror movies Teenagers are stupid and their assholes So I can't really say that that's a problem with the movie The the the script and the plot in that sense are typical The direction is better than most films like ex machina it ended In a very unique way it ended in a way that I don't see movies end And if you watch it, I think you'll see what I mean It neither of these movies is gonna change your life They do have things about them that are worth seeing one of the thing I have to say about it follows the There was some original soundtrack music composed by disaster piece Whose work I like a lot However, the disaster piece tracks for this film Sounded exactly like the soundtrack of the game Fez which disaster piece composed So much like Fez that I thought they were from Fez And it was very distracting they were very out of place They didn't belong at all in the film. I I'm not prepared to blame disaster piece though I can tell you what happened the director came to disaster piece And he said I really like that Fez soundtrack put in make some stuff that sounds like Fez I'm sure that's what happened And it was a mistake Anyway, there you have it and the the next video I make should be the 2001 part 4 see then You can support 30 second sci-fi and my other projects by becoming a patron There's a link in the description below and visit the 30 second sci-fi tumbler That's my headquarters in addition to my videos. I publish links and updates there every day


Someday if you want to in… if you intend to cross the border, you must be close to the border, isn't it? If you are deep inside, you may not cross, that's all I said, I said be on the edge if you want to cross over. So living on the edge in many ways, essentially that is the fundamental thing, that you are not stuck, where you are, where you are is a reality, you can't deny that. But you try to be on the edge so that when the opportunity comes you jump, easy, isn't it? Yes?  So living on the edge essentially in normal parlance, what it would mean, live dangerously. What is danger is just a question of what you are capable of and what you are not capable of, isn't it? So if you want to enhance your capability, particularly with the inner nature, if you are not on the edge, would you push your capability, you would remain stagnant. So that's what I'm saying, you must always live on the edge when it comes to within you. You don't have to risk your physical body on the road, that's another point. On the highway, eight, you don't have to take a, a truck is coming, you want to run in between and see, just to live on the edge. That's a foolish way of living on the edge. But in the inner nature, you live on the edge because there is really no danger. Is a misconception, if you fall on the street, you will die, which is a danger. If whatever you believe in right now, let's say, you believe in something, let us say, an ideology or a belief system or something. So if you live on the edge with this belief system, constantly trying to cross the border within yourself, whatever happens, what is going to happen to you? I'm asking, is your life at risk? No. What is at risk is everything that you thought that you are may collapse. That's a whole idea. Your notion should go if reality has to shine, isn't it? You don't have to invent reality. If you invent it, it's not reality, isn't it? See, this is not hard work. This is not hard work because you don't have to create anything. It's there. You're inventing lot of notions. If you stop inventing your notions, if you simply learn to sit here quietly, all your notions are gone, isn't it? So you don't have to create anything. You just have to stop creating. I'm just saying, just rest. That's all spiritualities. If you just rest, if you really rest, you're there. But you won't rest.  I'm telling you, you're not going anywhere. You're jogging on the spot. Jogging on the spot may be good for the physical body because it gives exercise, but internal jogging on the spot is not doing anything. It's just waste of time and waste of life. I'm saying, just rest. Learn to be just, be still. All your ills will go away.


Sadly, that is the largest daily increase we have seen. The virus is on the front lines of the coronavirus. We get an update on the number of people who lost their lives with coronavirus. Even in the hardest times, we clap. We clap for resistance. We clap for life. We clap for happiness. Only together, we can defeat this virus.


Teacher as a leader of an orchestra. Being a teacher takes great responsibilities, and in order for one to because, a business English teacher takes a number of factors to be considered, such as who will you be working for, and what they expect from you. The type of environment in which you will be teaching as different places have different cultures, and it is every teacher's duty to know the DOS, and don'ts of an environmental culture you in, and in this essay, I will talk about the teacher's roles in teaching. As a teacher one's bears much responsibility, that goes with the contract one has signed with is or her employer, and to be a great teacher, one has certain roles they have to play for the betterment of the students. What do I mean? Before I answer this question, we have to bear in mind that to be a good teacher, one should be kind and patient, really love teaching, and a good teacher should know the students weaknesses and try to give help, and individual attention where necessary. Lesson process. For a smooth flow in the classroom, which role and when to play that role in class, is largely going to depend on the type of activity, and with what the teacher wishes the students to achieve. Some stages of the lesson will require that the teacher is more dominating or leading, while others require a more withdrawn role. Main roles. Firstly we will talk about the role of being a facilitator, with this role the teacher devises activities, that allow the students simply to get with a process of the students practicing and learning the language for themselves. The facilitator role enables the students to participate in tasks, without any interruption or interference, however the teacher still needs to be available as a resource, in case the students require any assistance or guidance. By this one can see that it is more than just teaching the students, but helping in many aspects of their lives, such as confidence boost, and many others since the teacher will be initiating certain scenarios. Furthermore, the teacher can also play the role of a mentor. With this role the teacher is usually the only the source of the student has, so the teacher is the font of all knowledge on grammar and vocabulary, and these areas they have particular responsibilities and authority in the eyes of the leaner. It is very important to note that as a mentor, many adult learners want a benefit from the speech or pronunciation model that the teacher offers. As a mentor, the teacher should bear in mind, that the students view him or her as a great influence in them achieving their goals, so a positive attitude is key every time. Also for teachers to deal with certain situations, and to achieve certain goals in the classroom, they need to be able to adjust to certain changes and scenarios, thus another great quality of a good teacher. The teachers since they are the ones who are in charge of the classroom, they can also play the role of an instructor or monitor. The teacher in this situation will wish to monitor what is going on in the classroom. This can give the teacher information as to how long an activity is likely to take, and how successful it has been. Corrections. During oral communicative activities, the teacher may also want to make notes for correction, or praising the students thus giving instructions if needed. It is very important that while engaging in the role of being an instructor, the teacher generally maintains a distance from the students, so as to not distract them in what they will be doing, but they will be times he or she will need to step up a little closer and highlight instructions, or hear spoken work, or look at the writing in progress in order to monitor effectively. In conclusion, teachers need to be able to change and adjust in classroom situations, and take part in different roles for different activities to help the students achieve the best of themselves.

The program is a cultural resource coordinator. We set up a program mostly in collaboration to try and enhance other programs. I would also do some of my own initiatives. We go from children, youth, families, trying to raise cultural awareness, different approaches, help foster a stronger sense of well-being and positive indigenous identity. We have drum nights. I do hand drum making. Workshops have created initiatives with outside agencies to raise their awareness about our issues, both within governmental, societal levels, individual levels, trying to answer questions to those outside agencies to help them get a better understanding about who we are and help them understand more about our concerns and focuses through the organization as a service provider to hopefully help gain some outsources or gain some new allies in our community. I've done some work with a local church group. I've done the blanket exercise with them, which went really well in bringing to light a lot of things of history that they never knew existed before. I gave them a deeper understanding of how long we've been actually colonized and how aggressive the government has been at passing legislation to keep us under thumb, I guess, so to speak. And I've also had them watch films, one of them being a real engine to show them how media has played a role in the societal level of racist and prejudiced attitudes towards us. And a lot of them identified with how much that actually did occur even within their own families and their own words is that they really raised a bar for them to know where a lot of this stuff actually started and came from. Yes, drumboops are weekly and we get families. We work with other coordinators. They bring different proponents of their client base and we have a lot of referrals from our Justice Diversion program, which is also an active part of some of my duties and responsibilities and that's helping the ones who are within the justice system get back reconnected to us so hopefully we can get them started on their own good path for themselves and make our own community a lot stronger. Myself personally, I measure it on an individual level. Which is always more about how that person has started back onto the path of rediscovery for themselves, whether they have knowledge of who they are or not. Knowing that somebody is out there and has come back to the community who has knowledge is keen for myself because I'll engage them with helping to help educate the others at the same time so it creates some peer mentoring opportunities as much as possible so I'm not the only person sitting in the circle who has knowledge and I want to make sure that everybody is inclusive, that everybody carries a knowledge base with them and for the ones that don't know it's hopefully to light a fire with them and to start doing their research for themselves being on a program. You can only be there for a couple of hours. You can only start getting so much knowledge but if you're keen on finding out for yourself you can just go out and do it for yourself and it's a beautiful thing to watch somebody go out and start rediscovering their life on their own. The other programs that are available within the federation level services that are provided, whatever it is that they're trying to look for, they need more literacy, they need some life skills. Do they need to go for some therapy? Do they feel that's the best thing for them? Do they want to hook up with some different craftspeople? Get to know some artists, get to know some other fellow musicians or drums or even hooking them up with going to other events, taking them to other events, even just directing them online to just look and see how wide the variety of things are that are available for people to do, for the elements they're keen on trying to do that for themselves, first and foremost. And if there's something that we can't or for whatever reason the individual doesn't seem like it's a fit, then of course just hope so or somewhere or help them to just gain confidence for themselves anywhere possible, doesn't matter where that is. Well sometimes it's hard to get an individual to enroll but just to keep on encouraging, just come back, come back, come back and let them know that the door's always open and it's actually worked a couple of times. Some of them that are struggling within themselves, they have a hard time, seems to be at the trust level, but they keep coming back. So that says something right there. So don't discourage that part at all. The education has to come from our peoples too. We have to be careful about who is out there. Sourcing out information at a cost to whomever without having any affiliation with any of our peoples across the land. There's been a lot of that that's gone on in the past too. So for us to be diligent about who it is that's offering what to our children is massive. And it should be specific to the child's needs, not to the needs of the grant or the proposal or the organization's mission and vision statements. It needs to be simply about the children and what are the children's needs and we have the knowledge now to figure that out. My experience so far is a short path. Steaming back to what I guess most of my life has been able to learn about who you are as an individual or you come from, who your peoples are, ties in greatly to the question that we all have as to why we're here. That'll help in your own personal journey to discern what it is you would like to do moving forward in your life. Having a root base of knowledge that is innate within each individual makes for, I would just say, sort of balanced individuals. We know where we belong and it pertains to the land base here as the old initially peoples. Learning about that for myself created so much pride and confidence within myself as an individual and gave me the strength to move forward and pursue my own educational roles and my own cultural or own ways of life and we're more affiliated and we're more recognizing more understanding of how our peoples have done things for each other. As individuals and families and nations for thousands of years, that to me is very keen moving forward again with your life. With the confidence level, I was able to go back to high school, go to university, sit on board of directors geared towards Aboriginal education and all for the same reasons that everybody else is doing it to and it is to ensure that our futures is gonna be for us and by us. Passing on knowledge through music is what I'm keen on. Music is something that's lacking big time within our own, we talk about indigenous education. To me, music is one of the most important things that was given to us as human beings across this planet. All of all the things that were kept by our ancestors monitoring all the years of colonization, it was our music bases that persevered and came through strongest all the songs, of course, there's their movies, all the songs were rites of passage. Those are what's are still around more than anything else. And there's a reason for that and I think we're yet to even discover the true meaning of how valuable music was. It is for us, not only as nations of people but as human beings too. Our ancestors were, they were pretty knowledgeable people. They had a lot of things figured out and because of this contemporary setting that we live in today in this 21st century, I think we know everything and yet we still strive to try to find peace in our everyday lives. They were living in thousands of years and just that act alone speaks volumes of the homogenology I always share with other people too that if you look at a medicine person around the world, if somebody asked them to come and have a ceremony done for an individual, the medicine person back then would have known the individual, would have known the individual's families at very least and be able to gain a little bit better understanding the individual who is asking for something and the medicine person would make or think incoctions for them but there was also music, there was also song that was always different. The songs are now for the same. They pertain to each individual. So that knowledge base of music we've dropped or lost or forgotten about along this last 500 plus years. So there's still a lot in there that we're still missing. I'd like the person to see more musical programming instilled within our education. It's so keen we can see from all of our artists that are coming more and more prevalent in today's society and with the songs that talk about who knows, wake up and raise, stand up for yourselves, talk about all of the missing and murder, Aboriginal women, you know, higher haze, a lot of people with higher haze. It was a native man, they don't know the whole story behind higher haze and they was a real person who went through and went through health, just to serve in the United States military, you know. That's the way I like to share knowledge because that's what I'm keen on, is music. Anything that has to do with music is what lights the spark in my eyes and gets my heart ticking because to me it's so important being a singer or being a hard player, a musician, a drummer. You know, that's very, very important to my to my own personal therapy and keeping me in balance mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally. Just recently at the United Native American Music Awards there was a gentleman there who was his grandfather who had come home singing some traditional songs and then he incorporated into classical music on the spot on his keyboard. You know, he was so, such a beautiful, beautiful piece to watch and to watch him interpret those songs into something equally as beautiful as the song in itself through the classical music. Those doors are starting to become open for us as our kids start to become more keen on music. Today, with the song base that we carry for ourselves and using that as the sort of jumping board into creating new styles of music. You know, again, DJ Shubb, he created his own genre. DJ Shubb from Tribecaulard, they created their own genre of music. You know, just those types of things that see the more education in the music department. New Zealand, they have what they call community musicians and they're encouraged and they're given a role within community to be an important factor because that's a knowledge base in itself that I know from participating that our music called knowledge base is massive, massive, massive, massive. Anyway, it's the one thing we all have, this great amount of knowledge about and we don't ever get to use it anywhere.  They suggested that if we use, this is from contemporary science that if we use music from our children their young age, that'll be easier for them to learn and absorb information as they grow older because those neuron paths are already there. We can burn the paths with music. All they have to do is just fill in with information after that, but I think that's something that our ancestors knew something about well, because it's such a different world setting back then. I've seen one experiment on Stain done in a MRI and he was jazz improvising, kind of scatting to music and they actually watched his brain and activity as he was doing that to see how many different parts of the brain he was using and how the whole activity, you know, was, it was actually both hemispheres that were being used at the same time. So I think then, you know, we started doing things like that towards the future and understanding our own musics and our music pieces and the power it has on us as individuals.
