Waching daily Jan 3 2017

Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone

else under the law.

For if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be

equal as well.

That's why condemn the persecution of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.

We do these things not only because they are the right thing to do, but because ultimately

they will make us safer.

We believe in a big America, a tolerant America, a just America, an equal America.

We believe in an America where we're all in it together, and we see the good in one another.

I want you to know that I expect, and hope, to be judged not by words, not by promises

I've made, but by the promises that my administration keeps.

And together, we also have to keep sending a message to every young person in this country

who might feel alone because they're gay or transgender.

We've got to make sure they know that there are adults they can talk to.

That they are never alone.

That there is a whole world waiting for them.

And I want all those kids to know that the president and the first lady is standing right

by them every inch of the way.

This fight continues now.

And I'm here with a simple message: I'm here with you in that fight.

This afternoon, I signed into law the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention

Act.

[News Anchor] President Obama has signed a directive that will mean same-sex partners

have hospital visitation rights.

[Pres.

Obama] We are not a nation that says, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

We are a nation that says, "Out of many, we are one."

And now it is my honor to sign this bill into law.

This is done.

[Wolf Blitzer] From this day on, Barack Obama will go down in history as the first U.S.

President to endorse same-sex marriage publicly.

It is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able

to get married.

[Diane Sawyer] This is an historic political and cultural moment in this country.

This is the first administration to release a comprehensive strategy on HIV/AIDS.

Because the United States should be at the forefront of new discoveries into how to put

HIV into long-term remission.

Or better yet, eliminate it completely.

[News Anchor] Gay and lesbian couples now have the right to get married in every single

American state.

[Pres.

Obama] Today, we can say in no uncertain terms, that we've made our union a little more perfect.

[News Anchor] The White House - lit up in rainbow pride colors to show support for today's

monumental decision.

[Lester Holt] Historic announcement from the White House tonight - creating the first national

monument to gay rights at the site of the Stonewall riots here in New York City.

[News Anchor] The White House has hired it's first openly transgender staff member.

[Pres.

Obama] Ellen Degeneres.

It's easy to forget now, when we've come so far, just how much courage was required for

Ellen to come out on the most public of stages almost 20 years ago.

If you're ready to continue this journey that we started, keep marching, keep fighting,

keep organizing.

If we rise to this moment, if we understand, this isn't the end point, this is the beginning.

It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long, by so many, to be cynical,

and fearful, and doubtful about what we can achieve - to put their hands on the arc of

history, and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It happens when a father realizes he doesn't just love his daughter, but also her wife.

It happens when a video sparks a movement to let every single young person know they're

not alone and things will get better.

It happens when people look past their ultimately minor differences to see themselves in the

hopes and struggles of their fellow human beings.

That's where change is happening.

And that's not just the story of the gay rights movement, that's the story of America.

And I'm confident we can continue to write another chapter together.

Sidney Lumet Recalls Working with Katharine Hepburn - Duration: 2:37.

I think when Katharine Hepburn slaps

Dean Stockwell, what he's just done is

say mama I'm sick i've got TB. In other

words, he's told her that he has a death

sentence - which it was in those days - and

she, instead of grabbing him and saying oh my

baby, she slaps him. And I mean Katie slapped

him. His eyes went "bwoing."

And then she grabs him and says, "my

baby." That moment of the slap itself when

we were rehearsing, and I told Kate I

would like her to slap him, and she said

"oh, I can't do that."

Well, Kate never had any children.

That's the only thing missing from her

arsenal of total knowledge about

human beings. And I said to her, Kate, you -

I want you to know that I have seen all my

life, and I think anybody who's had

children will tell you that on a piece

of disastrous news,

the first thing you try to do is blame

it on somebody else besides yourself, and

that very often what happens as a result

of that is you physically strike out the

person. The kid runs across the

street;

a car almost hits it; gets to the other side -

mama says, "You dope!" Bang! Hits it.

This is a constant in human behavior and

to me, one of the most

revelatory things about human behavior.

At any rate, Hepburn was deeply

intelligent and she took that in and

literally nobody said a word for good 30

seconds - that's a long time for a director

and two actors to be standing there not

saying anything,

and she says, "let me try it." And she did it

and right after the slap she stopped, she

said, "that's wonderful." And I said good,

let's not do it again till we shoot it,

and we never rehearsed it again. We just

kept it for the take and it's to me one

of the great moments in the movie.

space module now she is keeping me back

well strictly that the hatch will be

opened

I was told there was a key that is a

yeah

the red is in the in the middle of the

hatch that they have to open with a key

and turn the key to open that hatch

yeah we're gonna see your point of view

how long we should also an says that the

will help me hatch as being opened the

hatch is being open to China's posed a

prototype of space lab people one and

God astronaut waving his hand into the

camera cord but that we use he will get

into the one the space module that is

where we flying there a nine-month and

looks like i'm using a good trade and

then there are a lot of handles on the

wall are he's basically floating around

and have some fun

yeah thank you

because before that we have never seen a

Chinese restaurant maneuvering in such a

big place

mhm and also flowing with anyone also

passed another one is flying into their

song space and they're checking this

should be a familiar environment they

they've been there on the ground but

it's just our nine months in between

visual say that the the ground

simulation is efficient and effective

column for their teeny and that they

were probably turn out all the powers in

check all the parameters and the voltage

of the two vehicles are quite different

the voltage of the King want article is

about the hundred what

well the voltage of the shingle nine you

mean they have two different power

systems

yeah why is that why don't they have the

same identical power system so that they

can

there are many reasons his public 11 and

the technical issues

and the total output of single one

vehicle is about 3,500 what this is even

larger than the first generation of

space stations before I don't know

whether you can tell where is the

steeping corner where is the working

area are well the there are two sleeping

bags that the green one two three more

left

later of the Atmos be in sight angle one

before our has not entered what is the

optimal temperature inside the cabin of

a single 123 23 degrees celsius so

should be a comfortable environment we

should advertise that there is no up and

down concept now many people are saying

that that when astronauts get into space

they may run into motion sickness

because of loss of orientation are they

don't seem to have motion sickness when

did motion sickness occur

John well that's going to occur at all

usually occurs in the first day in space

but remember that anyone who is a

trained astronaut has been through a

wide variety of tests to determine

whether they're unusually susceptible to

motion sickness but you cannot tell a

hundred percent head down to a hundred

percent that's good

he has been used to eat during the

flight in chennai spaceship and there

are a lot of our handles on the wall

alright himself the astronauts are using

mom bought a house without of course it

is very necessary because the video in

the promoting Staters the 00 t condition

yeah you don't look at your guy that

would be maybe this is really bad of

young

just now struck me on stage behind

reported on the status of their mission

ready to be back

while they put on some are check your

peas are taking the communication

systems the communication with the

groundwork with the ground hard with

about because angel nine will be shut

down the Orion their activities in

kingman target we call while the power

is are they open the central control

computer you should check everything

once again let me explain what is going

on here and funny and unbeatable

international calling on the right-hand

side is Billy on staying enjoy- re-entry

capsule on the left is to hype on

working on the main computer motherboard

single one space live out that culture

is only our what do you don't get to do

that at work

they will shut down the integrated

monitoring system

into the cable what

okay that's wrong jaan is also about to

leave her seat on single or is she going

to perform some

they don't know how to

what people here be wary about this she

just shut down the central integrated

are the emotive Marine unit

it's it's not the same yes up doing

international space station myself

yesterday cause there and they just fly

that's a result of being in space for

all not that they developed our custom

to that that they quickly learned how to

aim themselves and because flying with

us just kind of a tricky to use the

fours in space are you have action we

had a reaction sometimes you cannot

predict how strong that it is enough to

make any sudden movement that may cause

unforeseen consequences so to get

yourself a familiarize mr. inspire

moment you maybe could use some handles

to try to get comfortable with this

environment for these are going to

training wheels on a child's bicycle LOL

the chance to buy and of course this is

easier to hold onto something when you

are performing a task sure on the

International Space Station wherever

there is a working location there are

foot restraints less income anchor

yourself there without having to use a

hand to hold your social buy it again

with the objective is quite important

I hit her about the only person around

it doesn't have TV coverage of the face

and that man got the black up now and

you're gonna be starting from getting a

TV picture mail yet we are getting a TV

For the Love of Work (U1172) - Full Video - Duration: 56:50.

This week we deal

with communism. Not Soviet

communism, but communism as defined

by the German social philosopher,

Karl Marx. Guiding us through his

ideas will be Sidney Hook, a

lifelong student of Marxism.

Marx's story is fascinating- but beware-

his ideas are interpreted in many

different ways. Capitalism at work:

abundance produced by human beings

and machine. This automation would

have been inspiring to Karl Marx.

For Marx, work was the most vital

element of any culture. But the

work he had in mind was very

different. Marx's ideas came in

large part from reflections on the

lives of the textile workers of

19th century England. These are

20th century workers. Every day,

they give a demonstration of

textile making. Quarry Bank Mill in

Cheshire, England is a last working

remnant of an industrial revolution

that was to change human lives

throughout Marx's life. Here in a

typical English green and pleasant

valley, rural England's peace was

to be shattered by the first beats

of the machine culture. Gone

forever was the steady spindling of

cottage weaving. Now the machine

rolled. A thousand spindles rattled

miles of yarn, which demanded that

hundreds of workers: men, women

and children paced their lives to the

thwack of the flying shuttles.

Here, capital forced the pace,

driving the lives of those in the

weaving shed. And the capitalists

who owned the capital ruled.

Industrial capitalism, for Marx,

was not an accident of human

history. It's not because human

beings thought of free trade; or

discovered the division of labor

that came about. No, rather it was

a necessary part of humanity's

development. Humanity went through

several stages. At first came its

infancy, the tribalist stage; then

its childhood during feudalism; and

now we are in capitalism, its

adolescence. Industrial capitalism

brings about the machine, which is

a liberating tool for Marx. It

frees human beings from menial

labor, from chores, and allows them

to engage in creative work. It

makes man a master of nature; not

nature a master of man. Nineteenth

century Europe was period of great

optimism and progress.

With industrialization came railways,

bridges and factories; and changes

in how the world looked.

Achievement- it was felt- came from

the application of science.

For scholars, it was vitally important

to be scientific... and Marx was no

exception. This is the herbarium at

Kew Gardens in London. It's one of

the world's largest collections of

botanical specimens: a database

for botanists. A full record of the

natural history and evolution of

plants. In a similar way, Marx, the

scientific philosopher, sought his

database in the known developments

of human society. He considered

himself a natural historian of

humanity, tracing its inevitable

evolutionary improvement, but with

a difference. Marx's perspective,

however, was revolutionary and not

evolutionary. And when Marx was

studying humanity's development, he

was not referring to individual

human beings, but that of the human

species as an organic whole.

These students are from Berlin's

free university. They relish intense

political debates. They are doing

exactly what Marx loved to do; when

as an 18-year-old- he came to Belin

to study. Marx was a ferocious

debater. Aggressively shouting down

those who disagreed with him,

attacking both their motives and

personality. In Berlin, he found

his intellectual roots. In the same

way that these students are

influenced by their teachers,

Marx's ideas reflected those ideas

of his, the philosopher Hegel.

Hegel's influence was enormous.

He had worked out a system for

analyzing the progress of ideas

through history. His central

principle was the dialectic.

A series of clashes between new ideas

and actual reality. I suppose one

way to understand this is somewhat

the way in which this film is being

made. First you have an idea.

Then, certain steps are taken to

institute the idea, and then that

modifies the idea of the film.

And that goes on until finally you

have a resolution in the thing that

you're looking at right now. So, to

Hegel, the truth about the world

changes through time. And the

actual world is what interested

Marx. He had also been greatly

taken by the ideas of Ludwig

Feuerbach, a philosopher who

insisted on the scientific approach;

that we only know what we

can perceive through our senses.

Marx got the idea of the

dialectical process from Hegel, but

he was a materialist, which he

learned from Feuerbach. This is why

it's said of him that he turned

Hegel upside down. Now, materialism

to Marx meant that we are always

living with the direct involvement

in the concrete natural world

around us. Hence, there is no room

for spiritual reality, no room for

religion. Marx was quick to apply

his ideas to the concrete social

world of human beings. This is

Trier, a small middle-class town on

the Moselle, not far from Cologne,

in Germany. Marx knew the region

and its people. He was born and

brought up here. His father was a

middle-class lawyer, living in this

house. Leaving university, Marx had

joined a newspaper in Cologne, the

Rheinische Zeitung, which covered

events in this area. Near Trier,

the Moselle River winds through a

deep valley. Beneath the forests at

the top lie hundreds of vineyards.

These are the vines which produce

the Moselle wine. If you've ever

drunk Piesporter, this is Piesport.

Families have worked these small,

steep vineyards for centuries.

Andre Shven's (phonetic) used to be

his father's- before that- his

grandfather's. Winter here is

bleak. In Marx's day, when harvests

failed, there was appalling

poverty. Villagers would climb to

the forests and gather wood, to

bring it back down the steep slopes

for their fires. The owners of the

forests had traditionally turned a

blind eye to this foraging; the

wood would have been considered

common property. However- after a

succession of bad harvests- the

landowners realized their wood

resources were valuable, and began

to prevent the villagers from collecting.

Now, Marx took note of

these developments, and began to

formulate several of his ideas that

would eventually become the

centerpiece for his political economy.

At Trier then, Marx saw clear

examples of the influence of

the institution of private property

and worker exploitation, the

determination of human relations by

economic forces and the role of

class conflict. We might even say

that this was the birth of

scientific socialism; that the

clash between landowners was

economic, and that it might lead to

a new historical reality or vital

early insights for Marx's science.

He was only beginning to formulate

his ideas. Tibor... Why is it that

Marx became convinced of the

significance of economic factors in

the development of societies?

Marx realized that the nature of

property is defined not so much by

the use of what people make of what

they own, but by the power to

exclude others from the use of what

they own. And then you have a very

definite power over them as human

beings. In other words: property

meant power. But Marx's real

contribution arose from his claim

that it was the way in which

property relations are organized

that determined the aspirations,

the motivations, the institutions

of society. Was it really valid to

generalize from that case of the

wood theft to all property relations?

After all, there are some property

relations that come from creativity,

not from natural abundance.

Yes. The fundamental distinction,

however, that Marx makes

is between personal property

and what he calls "social property."

Was this also the source

of Marx's belief in class conflict

and the different outlooks of

members of classes? Naturally, it

would follow as he reflected upon

the importance of the property

relationship that the appeal that

the peasants would make to the

benevolence of the feudal lords

were not likely to lead to

redistribution of property. And it

was at this point that he stresses

the inescapable necessity of struggle.

He begins to see all of

history in terms of the class struggles.

Now, this is obviously an

exaggeration; because history is

not only the history of class

struggles; it's the history of

class cooperation. Society is not

always involved in struggles.

But, his contribution was to stress the

importance of the struggle and its

pervasiveness. Mid-nineteenth

century Europe was a continent of

enormous inequalities. Dynastic

monarchs inherited huge palaces.

This one belonged to the King of

Prussia. Social status and

privilege were determined by birth.

A preoccupation with class was

quite normal. Facing up to these

entrenched privileges were many

thinkers and writers who called

themselves "socialists."

Their vision: the end of privilege

and the common management of

all property. Marx, who read with an

intensity which scholars even today

find remarkable, absorbed their

ideas and began adapting them to

his view of the world. These were

dangerous politics to adopt. Marx,

despite his studying, found time to

get married. Jenny Westphalen was

the daughter of a local nobleman.

She was only 22, and she might have

thought twice if she had known what

lay ahead. Marx was looking for

adventure as an active radical. He

chose Paris to find out more about

socialist ideas. Since the

revolution of 1789, Paris had been

a hothouse for democratic

experiment, particularly socialist

theorizing. As intellectuals do

even today, Marx shunned the grand

establishments near the royal

palaces. Instead, he settled for

the south, or Left Bank, a warren

of narrow streets awash with human

variety. Marx spent his days here

reading, learning and fraternizing

with new friends: Heinrich Heiner:

a radical poet; Arnold Ruge: a

journalist and socialist. He met up

with Proudhon, doyen of the Utopian

Socialists, and Friedrich Engels,

manager of a textile mill in

England, but a socialist. They were

to begin to build a lasting

friendship here. Marx and Jenny

spent too much money in places like

this, frittering away a legacy from

Jenny's parents amongst their

newfound socialist friends.

Marx liked to debate the marriage of

collective ownership of the means

of production. But, what really

interested him now was the

achievement of this go-through

revolution. Some people think that

philosophers, including political

thinkers, merely engage in idle

chatter... are full of hot air.

They believe that only concrete

material forces have an impact on

the world around them, such as:

technology... maybe our genes.

Even Marx was thought to have held

this view at one time. Yet Marx, and

many like him, put the line to this

point. They have certainly had an

enormous impact on the world

around us, especially on our legal

institutions. Marx's radicalism

also offended the institutions of

France. The authorities became

suspicious of his activities and

threw him out of Paris. He went to

Belgium, to Brussels where he and

Jenny found lodgings in a scruffy

tenement building. Their money was

already running out. The secret

police in Brussels watched them

constantly. For Jenny, the

following months were to be a

nightmare. Marx would go carousing

with friends late into the night,

leaving her alone and pregnant in

their damp rooms. Once, she was

thrown in prison for a night

amongst prostitutes. They were kept

afloat financially by Engels, an

irony since his money came from his

capitalist connections. It was at

this time that Engels also involved

Marx in writing a tract, which was

to become one of the best-known

documents of history: The Communist

Manifesto. It's a heady propaganda

piece; but it lays out the

quintessential assault of Marx, the

revolutionary. The aims today

actually look rather tame. But for

their time, they were explosive. To

have them circulated in print

amongst worker groups was

outrageous. The intensity of the

radical Marx- fermenting revolt- is

still the fuel of the revolutionary

wing of contemporary Marxism. If

you think of them as tabloid

headlines, these communist slogans

are superb incitements to action,

especially to the hotheaded and the

desperate. Marx now traveled

widely, talking to worker groups

and organizing revolutionary

activity. Soon he was to witness

the events of 1848, known as the

Year of Revolutions. The "beautiful

revolution" in Paris, in which a

class struggle between workers,

bourgeoisie and new capitalists led

to a provisional government, and

the declaration of a new republic,

that lasted only a few months. He

attempted to start a revolution

also in Cologne, publishing the

Neue Rheinische Zeitung, a

vituperative attack on class

interests, printed in red ink. That

got him thrown out of Germany.

Exiled to London, he involved

himself in the International

Workers' Association. Here- not for

the last time- different strands of

socialism were to clash. Marx

attacked what he called the

"bourgeois utopian socialism" of

the French, led by Proudhon. He

attacked anarchic socialism, whose

main proponent was the Russian

Bakunin. Marx always believed that

initially the State had a role to

play in socialism. He set himself

up as the theorist of revolutionary

socialism, which gradually he came

to call "communism." In fact,

internal contradictions in the Pan

European Socialist movement-

exploited by Marx himself- were to

prove the downfall of the

International Workers' Association.

To prevent others taking part, Marx

and Engels manipulated the IWA into

moving its offices to- of all

places- Philadelphia. There it

simply withered away. Thirty years

after Marx's death the IWA was, in

fact, reborn- holding meetings in

Basil and Geneva. The Geneva

meeting was significant in several

ways. Not least for the presence of

one man, whose interpretation of

revolutionary Marxism- as we'll see

in another program- was to have

enormous importance... Lenin. As an

exile in London, not only had Marx

run out of countries, he had run

out of money. He and Jenny lived in

rooms above a laundry in SoHo. Once

again, he relied on Engels for a

living, never giving him any

thanks, behavior consistent with

his communist views. By now, he

wasn't averse to simply scrounging

for funds from others. Ironically,

Marx's slum dwelling is now on the

fourth floor above one of the

better restaurants in SoHo. Here

Marx was to live working late into

the night, smoking his foul cigars,

mulling over the failure over

revolutionary process to

immediately bring about the

socialist phase of history. In

these two rooms, he and Jenny lived

with his four children, two of whom

were to die here. Marx had a

revolutionary approach. He believed

that capitalism needs to be

overturned, changed into socialism.

How did this idea evolve in his own

theoretical view? It is interesting

to observe that Marx did not assume

that there would be a political

party to lead in the workers. But

they would learn- in terms of the

discipline and consequences of

their own opposition to capitalism.

And as their need intensified, it

would culminate in taking power.

What is the major difference

between scientific and utopian

socialism? The great difference is

that Marx did not believe that you

could introduce socialism any time

and anywhere. He assumed that there

had to be certain objective

conditions to be fulfilled. Now, if

you look more closely at that view,

I don't think that it could stand

up to analysis because we would

have to abandon the whole notion of

inevitability- or even overwhelming

probability. But, I think Marx

would say, well the inevitable

comes about through the activity of

the working class, which itself is

inevitable under the circumstances,

so that he would not regard this as

a contradiction. Now, this was a

time of political upheaval. Was

Marx changing his own behavior as a

result of these political changes?

At this period he often denounced

those who were always invoking the

necessity of using force at any

time. And he would also criticize

those who were interested only in

tepid reforms, and did not aim at

the transformation of the entire

system. So that there is a

pragmatic element in the political

aspect of his activity. Exiled from

Europe, Marx was now to research

the material basis of scientific

socialism. He wanted to find the

elements within the forces of

history which could transform

capitalism through socialism into

communism. Engels hometown,

Manchester England, was the world's

first industrial city. Its massive

growth was produced by the newly

mechanized textile industry. These

were the canals where the cotton

was rushed in from America to feed

the looms of the Industrial

Revolution. Today, the looms are

gone, but many mills still stand.

You can almost imagine them

throbbing with vibration of

steam-fired belts and pulleys,

while the looms created the

superabundance of capitalism. And

along with capital came labor...in

droves. It's said these clog

dancers black their faces because

their origins lie in the tin mines

of Cornwall, hundreds of miles from

Manchester. These dancers came to

Manchester with the vast influx of

labor, the working class.

From all over the country, men,

women and children came to

serve as the capitalist machinery.

Their back-to-back houses clustered

around the mills, creating northern

England's unique urban landscape.

Overcrowding- compounded by a rapid

birth rate- soon produced fetid

slums. Marx never visited factories

or slums. He collected data from

evidence and correspondence, and

through an obsessive fascination in

arcane statistics. He studied at

the British Museum and here, at

Chesham's Library, in Manchester.

You can see the books he used here,

where he and Engels did their

research. Just look at these

statistics: how much land is to be

given to the poor for relief, death

rates, land taxes. Political

thinkers: they hope to have an

influence in the way the world

works. Marx, for example,

complained that philosophers had

thus far only interpreted the

world; the point is to change it.

For Marx, the contrast between the

good fortune of the capitalists,

and the misery of the workers was

the key to how his communist vision

would come about. Quite simply, the

workers would revolt. Their lives

delineated by what Engels called

the "rhythm of the machine" would

inevitably be subjected to mere

subsistence, as any extra wages

were dissipated in more children.

They would become increasingly

alienated from the very system

which spawned them; and

increasingly unemployed as

machinery took their work from

them. The capitalists would

decrease in numbers. Penny-pinching

with ever-increasing competition,

they would experience falling rates

of profit. The capitalists would

then lower wages even further; the

working class would become even

more immiserated, until eventually,

the whole capitalist system would

destroy itself in an inevitable

communist revolution. In his

efforts to convert people to his

ideas, Marx wrote a book. It was to

be his great work, explaining in

detail how capitalism would

inevitably fail, and socialism

emerge triumphant. He called it Das

Kapital ...Capital. This is Adam

Smith's The Wealth of Nations. Marx

studied this book, just as he did

David Ricardo's and Thomas

Malthus's works. It was at the time

that he was writing Das Kapital,

his major work- which was addressed

to these economists- which was

meant to convince those who were

impressed with this economic

analysis of society. But, of

course, it contained Marx's own

extremely revised views of these

ideas. But its tone, its style was

that of the classical economists.

The language of Das Kapital is to

us today obscure in the extreme.

But you can still see traces of

what Karl Marx meant in our

contemporary industrial culture. He

claimed that the value of what we

make is created by the labor which

goes into its making. It's an idea

borrowed from the economist David

Ricardo, except Marx altered it,

declaring it true whatever and

however much capital is employed,

once created, the product, of

course, is owned by the capitalist.

Once costs and wages are

subtracted, the remaining surplus

value is appropriated by the

capitalist. The worker, in Marx's

phrase "is exploited." This life of

wage labor- where one is exploited

because of the private property

owned by the capitalist- gives him

power over your social being...

leads to alienation. You are

alienated from yourself. Your labor

is sold; and isn't an expression of

your own creativity. You are

alienated from the production

process. Division of labor taps

only a fraction of your

creativity. You are alienated from

others; you see them as antagonists

in the marketplace when you go to

buy something. And you are

alienated from the product. It

isn't yours; and you will have to

pay the capitalists to obtain its

benefits, although you've created

it by your own efforts. Das Kapital

is a sustained critique of the

industrial capitalist system. But

what is offered instead? What is

the vision of social order to take

capitalism's place? Marx never

fully explained. He envisioned

mankind free to enjoy creative

social labor, including a little

philosophizing. In their later

years, Marx and Jenny moved to

middle class Hempstead, a legacy

helping many of their financial

problems. Here on Hempstead Heath,

Marx and his family and friends

could grasp a bit of the vision.

Marx proposes that practical work

be serious but joyful...activity

for the love of it. He denied that

there should be anything but

collective property in the means of

production. Alienation would be

impossible with a classless society

living in communist freedom and

harmony. Human beings would have

developed to their full maturity,

in perfect union with the material

world around them. ...and what I

find very dangerous about this is

the vision of a society in which

everyone will automatically love

everyone else; in which the

individual strangeness of people-

their peculiarities- will be

abolished. But couldn't you say

that here is a community where we

can tolerate individuals... and

differences? Marx himself believed

that individuals always will be

found distinguishable from one

another. He was not an egalitarian

in the sense that he believed all

human beings acted alike. So what

then is the Marxist vision... what

is the Marxist vision? Marxism is

an ideal... that's to say it's not

the essence- he's projecting the

ideal of the world in which the

norm of human activity is

creation...creation in all fields.

He says in his future society there

will be no painters; there will be

men who paint. There will be no

musicians; there will be men who

write music. That's a very specific

conception of human nature...don't

you think so? No, I think it's an

optimistic conception of human

nature. Marx spent his last years

writing the final volumes of Das

Kapital. He was never to finish

them. His undisciplined ways were

leave to Engels the task of

collating and publishing his final

writings. His beloved Jenny died in

1881; and Marx- desolated and

almost friendless- died fifteen

months later. Today, his memorial

is a granite plinth from which his

bust stares at his many visitors.

Here too, lies a tale, because the

monument dates only from 1956. Marx

died in obscurity, a little-known

philosopher. You can find his first

grave deep amongst the trees; a

strange anonymity considering the

infamy of the name Karl Marx today.

Marx enjoyed his greatest triumphs

after his death, rather than during

his life. Today the question is:

how should we interpret his

ambiguous legacy? There are some

who seize upon some aspects of his

doctrines, have tried to transform

it into a form of totalitarianism.

There are others who will remain

faithful to the democratic

tradition which was central to his

teaching. Today, we've had time to

reflect on Marx's ideas. What's

left when we analyze the evidence

of history in the spirit of his own

scientific method? One place to

begin is with what many

contemporary admirers regard as his

democratic ideals: his criticism of

the power and privilege of the

capital-owning class. For

centuries, this house was occupied

by landowners. And for centuries,

it was only landowners who were

permitted to vote in the

parliamentary system of Great

Britain. Now, in Marx's time, great

changes were taking place. This is

the Reform Act of 1832. It extended

the franchise- that is the vote- to

a great many more people, and would

eventually bring democracy through

a series of other reforms to Great

Britain. Through pressure from many

who called themselves socialists,

the vote was eventually given to

the proletariat. So here in

Beckham- the hometown of the clog

dancers- it wasn't economic forces

alone bringing change. In Victoria

Street, the houses back onto a mill

and stream, a stream which marks

the first boundary dividing

Lancaster into what would be

consecutively smaller

constituencies, a reform instigated

by the middle classes in Parliament

for the workers. Scholars still

debate whether political democracy

contradicts Marxism. At least, we

must grant that a socialist state

could begin democratically. But

would such a radical change ever

occur? Thousands of working class

men marched out of their mills and

off to the trenches in the first

World War. For communists- it was a

terrible disappointment. This was

patriotic nationalism...a cultural

loyalty. Seemingly deeper than the

economic bonds of working class

life. Marxists declared that the

working class were duped into

fighting a war between capitalists

that was none of their business.

But can we really explain the

courage of these individuals and

the grief of their families by

uniform confusion as to what was

good for them? Revolutionary

Marxists have- since Marx's death-

been waiting for the revolution.

But it didn't come in the

depressions of the 1870s, or the

1930s; it didn't come in 1914; nor

against Hitler. Each time, some

other social or cultural factor has

prevented the economic clash from

toppling capitalist progress. There

is another thing about this house

that is of significance. This is

where Winston Churchill lived. This

was his study. Now, Churchill was

one of these people who was of

great significance in human

history. Is there any room for such

people in Marx's theory? Dr. Hook

how does the idea of a hero in

history- a significant figure-

square with Marx's theory that

there is an inevitable development

in human history? Only in a very

limited sense. In a sense... we

always need a great man. But

whether or not he appears- cannot

be determined by the economic

factors that Marx was concerned

with. There are certain crucial

periods at which the action of a

great man may be decisive. It is

questionable whether Marx's own

life and influence could be

explained in terms of his own

theory. And perhaps the most

decisive illustration is provided

by the activity of Nicholai Lenin.

There is one other overriding

development which is difficult for

Marxists to explain. Where in

capitalist countries are the

immiserated masses which were

predicted in Marx's writing? In

1849, the year Marx went to London,

thousands of immigrants came to San

Francisco in search of gold. Most

of them were almost penniless. Not

many found gold, but an enormous

number of them got wealthy. Today

downtown San Francisco is full of

the mutual funds and other

institutions holding the savings of

the American working people. Anyone

who has commuted daily onto the San

Francisco Peninsula across the

famous bridges will be aware that

the superabundance of the

substantially capitalist economy has

produced something unexpected.

The primary product industries

traditional to California are being

superseded here in a latter day

industrial revolution: new

capitalist bosses and new workers

in new factories. What about Marx's

economic theories here? Can the

skills in this plant sensibly be

explained as those of the working

class? The jobs here are varied and

different. Any division into

warring classes of participants in

this economic system does not seem

sensible. And does what Marx called

"socially necessary" or skilled

labor fully explain the value of

the products people produce? The

work of these people alone does not

explain the value of what they

make. That's determined by how well

they serve the legitimate wants of

consumers. Marx also largely missed

the entrepreneurial element

required in production. One of its

results can be a whole team of

research engineers. Their work is

paid for as an economic adventure

by the capitalist owner. What of

alienation? Marx's view is hard to

divorce from his many problematic

assumptions, but if we ask people-

and it has been done- we find that

most are fulfilled by their work.

But what about unskilled workers?

Mr. Quang Tang is one of

the Vietnamese boat people. He

lives with other immigrants in

Santa Clara County. He's got two

major interests in his life: one is

his music. He has played for the

San Jose Orchestra, and is

continuing to improve his skills

with lessons. The other is

electronic engineering. Mr. Quang

doesn't see the shop floor as the

end of the line for him. He isn't

alienated by any reasonable

standard, a locked in member of the

working class. He's going to

college to improve himself and

continues to exploit the

opportunities in his work. What we

must accept is that there are those

who see Marx less democratically.

By their interpretation, Marxism

requires force. Given the claims of

the East German and other Eastern

European states about their

relationship to Marxism, what are

we to make of this wall here? I

think it is demonstrable that this

wall symbolizes the extent to which

these societies represent the

betrayal of the fundamental

principles of Marxism. Isn't it

still arguable that these are the

consequences of his ideas? Would

one argue that the Medieval

Inquisition is a consequence of

what Christ taught on the Sermon on

the Mount? After all, in history we

have many other illustrations where

there are legitimate applications

of common doctrines. As I interpret

Marx, he was a champion for human

freedom, mistaken as he might have

been in many of his historical

convictions. One need not blame Marx

for everything that's happening

here. But one could still say that his

ideas were the closest to being

supportive of this sort of thing.

He talks, for example, of the

abolition of private property and

the socialization of the means of

production. But labor is the means

of production, and the socialist

societies here have taken labor and

claimed it their collective

property. And therefore, they don't

allow people to escape out. That

labor is theirs- it's not the

private individual's labor. And

that interpretation of Marxism runs

counter to Marx's view that the

working class would determine its

own future. There is no line in his

doctrine where he identifies the rule

of a working class with the rule of a

minority over the entire society.

Interpretations of Marxism are

frustrating. Could one be sure

of Sidney's Marxism? Would other

western Marxists agree? Whatever the

answer, the wall was getting to me.

This is the vital point of our

discussion: on which side of the

wall would Karl Marx stand if he

were alive today? He is a man who

concluded his introduction to

capital by quoting from Dante

"Follow your own course and let

people talk." He represented the spirit

of freedom and independence. And

whether one agrees with him or not,

it seems to me he belongs to this

side of the wall, in the hope that

someday this wall will be razed,

and all human beings enjoy freedom.

Professor Altvater of Berlin's Free

University teaches Marx as part of

his university courses. There are

more than 300 similar courses

taught in the United States.

Altvater himself was a '60s radical

revolutionary Marxist.

Revolutionary Marxists are more

interested in direct action than in

theory. Today, he is very critical

of Soviet Marxism, but still

believes that Marxism has clear,

practical significance. What is the

major criticism of western-type

Marxists of the Soviet-type

Marxists? Soviet-type Marxism is:

in the first instance, let us say,

very orthodox. Marxism is not a

state ideology. And you can't

transform, through critique, into a

positivist science to base planning

systems on it. This has nothing to

do with Marxism. What would be a

healthiest version of applying

Marxism in your view? In my view,

Marx, in theory, should best be

applied in analyzing your

situation...your social situation;

your society in which you are

living; in which you are fighting

sometimes. We are living in

so-called democracies. And in such

a democracy it should be possible

to analyze the society and to

change the society; conforming, of

course, with some constitutional

boundaries. Is it possible to still

think in terms of the coming

socialist or the coming communist

societies, or is that all out now?

Is that all obsolete? It's not

obsolete; everybody needs his own-

or his social utopias. Without

utopias- there will be no

change...no reform- structural

reform of contemporary societies.

But on the other hand, I think that

the question of revolution today is

much more complicated than a

hundred years ago. So, it's no

longer a matter of capitalists and

workers or anything like that?

No...not at all. We have always to

ask ourselves what's the

proletariat today? What's the

working class today? What's work?

Work today is another thing than

100 years ago. Class is another

thing than 100 years ago. Changing

society by reform or revolution is

another thing today than 100 years

ago. In the end... is there any

really authentic and fruitful

Marxism left? I do not believe

there is any authentic Marxist

movement. Marx would have said I am

not a "Marxist" with reference to

all of those tendencies that are

claimed to be Marxist today, but

what is left is a series of

insights that can be used by

scholars- whether they call

themselves Marxists or not- who are

trying to understand the world. In

that sense, Marx belongs to the

ages. This does not deny that there

are phenomena in our modern

democratic world which Marx would

have seen as unjust. Socialists

today say that our western

liberties are meaningless for those

who lack the wealth required to

take advantage of them. In San

Francisco, the less successful

under capitalism huddle south of

Market Street, looking up toward

the wealth on Nob Hill. The moral

indignation or guilt some of us

feel about this is endemic in

western culture. What part has

Marx's vision to play in this?

Sidney Hook was a convinced Marxist

and activist in the 1930s. He was

involved in public protests and was

known as a radical leftist. Since

then, in a distinguished academic

career, he has reassessed Marx's

science of society, and stripped

away its outdated elements. He has

firm views on the remaining value

of Marx's vision. Scientific

socialism seems really to be dead.

Does that mean that Marx goes back

to utopian moralistic socialism?

Well...no. Myself- would

characterize "socialism" today in

quotation marks as a belief in

democracy as a way of life, and a

dedication to the principles of

democracy extending them in other

areas in which human beings command

too much power in respect to other

human beings. Is this sort of a

reintroduction of the Christian

ideal of the brotherhood of man,

but brought back down to earth from

the other world? I do recognize

that in the history of thought what

religion generally has meant is an

awareness of the sense of

community. It seems to me that the

animating drive behind people who

call themselves Marxists of any of

a variety is moral. American

individualism stresses an

alternative vision through

socialism. That of free, self-

starting individuals protected in

their person, their belongings and

what they believe by a

constitutionally limited and

democratically administered

government. If Marxism is mere

economic democracy, does it clash

with the American tradition?

Capitalism is based on private

property and freedom of the

individual. This meeting at Gensler

Associates- a famous San Francisco

architect- is discussing a project

that none of these individuals can

complete on their own. Wells Fargo

is really in need... Ask any

architect what skills are needed to

carry out a building project; the

list will be almost endless; from

steel workers to electricians...to

carpet makers; all with their own

knowledge of what they do.

Gensler's has thousands of samples

from hundreds of suppliers to

choose from for their interior

designs. What do you think of

these? I wasn't very satisfied with

these here... Voluntary exchange of

property among thousands of

individuals and firms creates our

prosperity. Furthermore,

instituting collective - albeit

democratic decisions as a

substitute for this is very

hazardous to our political liberty.

Socialists would say that

competition here in San Francisco

is destructive of human

cooperation. But in fact- isn't it

the case that commercial

relationships sometimes give rise

to many other relationships:

friendship, respect, camaraderie?

That commerce really isn't as

insidious as imagined. If a

collective were to decide that

selling teddy bears, skim milk or

calculators was unacceptable, then

it's not only that the property

rights of the trader would be

infringed, many of our other vital

values would go as well. It is no

coincidence that many who live

behind the Iron Curtain find life

dull, as well as short on

prosperity. I believe the moment

one acts in the spirit of the

Marxist vision, either through

abridging private property or even

economic regulation, one infringes

fundamental liberties which America

has cherished from its foundation.

Sidney Hook disagrees. The basic

issue today especially is the

preservation of the right of a

community to determine for itself

the economic system under which it

wants to live. And all other

institutions. Well...you see? Here

is where I have a problem with

this. Because I don't see

communities as having rights;

individuals have rights.

Communities are not beings with the

capacity to have rights. Let me

make the point further- I agree

with you. All rights are centered

in individuals. And when I speak of

community rights, I'm speaking of

the rights of individuals. And

therefore- I recognize that

property is a human right. But it's

not the only human right. We have a

cluster of rights. It's a matter of

using your intelligence; in case-to

-case how far you will go with

extending human freedom and

restricting it. And we do that all

the time. But sometimes you need a

certain amount of security,

predictability in a society. So

that, for example, the right to

private property over a few years.

You need to know whether you can

invest; or whether you can sell; or

whether you are in control of your

own destiny in as much as it's tied

in with property- We would say yes,

you can own as much property as you

want to until the point is reached

where your control of property

affects the public welfare, the

public good. It almost introduces a

dictatorship. No...on the contrary.

So long as you've kept the

processes of freely given consent

open- then there is no dictatorship

involved. Well, you seem to think

that somehow the people will rise

with wisdom to the occasion to do

this. Well, one has to have a

certain faith in democracy

sometimes. I cling to it by the

skin of my teeth. But what are the

alternatives? There is the

alternative of a limited democracy

like the American Constitution has

instituted amongst us. Democracy

limited to the selection of our

representatives...not to

everything; not to science,

education, economics. That's

true...it's limited to government.

But, in the American system we

certainly have the right to

introduce legislation that affects

the welfare of the community. I

consider that the erosion of the

American system, unfortunately.

Well, I'm prepared to accept the

American Constitution and its aims:

to provide for common defense,

provide for the public welfare, and

very often- if you want to provide

for the public welfare you may have

to modify the absolute right of

individuals to exclude others from

the use of what they own. I, on the

other hand, would recommend that we

really keep the government out of

it as much as possible. I think

that's the difference.

The difference between

us...that's the difference.

2017 Discbound BuJo Setup Part 1 - Project Notebook - Duration: 10:40.

Hello guys!

This is Nicole, from @nicoles.journal.

In today's video I'm going to show you my Bullet Journal setup for 2017.

This is going to be a 2 part video, because I didn't want to make the video too long.

The first part is going to be my Junior size notebook and the second part is going to be

the setup for my Mini size notebook.

My covers are from Jane's Agenda and the discs are from Circa and The Happy Planner.

The inner cover of my notebook is the Ice Cream dashboard from my store.

It protrects the first section of the notebook that has some doodles for inspiration, header

ideas for my BuJo, some font ideas and other decorative elements.

I keep them here so they are easily accessible for when I am creating a spread and I need

some inspiration.

Then, I have some tabs from Jane's Agenda that I use to section out my notebook into

different months.

This way I always know when I months start in the notebook.

They are available in different colors and the are also removable so I can use them multiple

times.

They come in a loose sheet, so I hole punched it to have it in my notebook.

These are my printable monthly tracker stickers, printed on sticker paper ready to be used.

I also have my daily time trackers.

I know a lot of you want to know how to use them, so I'll be making a video about it soon.

Basically, it works like a clock and I use it to track the time that I spend doing different

activities during my day.

If you go to Etsy, you'll see I have a mini tutorial in the last picture of the listing.

So you can check that out in the mean time if you want to see how it works.

I printed a bunch of these so I have enough for a few months.

The second divider is also from my store.

In this section I have the printed workbook I bought from Alexis or Misstrenchcoat about

SMART goal setting and how to execute your goals.

This workbook helped me a lot to plan my goals for the next few years.

I have it in here for future reference and, basically, all the goal setting that you'll see in this notebook and the other notebook will be based on what she said in the workbook.

The third divider is where I am going to plan my months

and to track and journal about my weeks.

This 2017 calendar is one of the free printables I am giving you guys in this video.

To download it, click the link the description box and it will take you to the Dropbox folder

where I uploaded it along with the rest of the free printables that'll be showing in this video.

This is how I setup my goals for 2017.

I divded them into Internal goals and External goals like Alexis recommends.

In my internal goals I have 2 personal projects.

In my External goals I have 1 Community project and 4 Career projects.

These are also specific classifications she talks about in the workbook.

This might seem like a small amount of goals for a whole year, but I did this on purpose

so that I don't plan too many things in advance and not hinder my ability to take on any projects

that come up.

She also recommends to classify each goal into 3 categories: projects, routines and bucket

list goals.

At the moment, I don't have any bucket list goal, but the goals on the top are the projects

I definitely want to accomplish this year and the bottom are the routines I want to

incorporate into my daily schedule.

For my projects, I assigned a time frame in which I want to work on and complete them.

Making this timechart helped me to easily visualize, how many projects I have going

on at the same time, so that I don't over-commit during these specific time frames.

Using two of her worksheets: The Project Planning worksheet and the SMART goal worksheet, and

taking the list of goals that I wrote before, I wrote down specific details for each goal

to help me define what I had to do to accomplish it.

Information such as what the goal is about, when I wanted to start working on it and the

deadline, how I'm working on it or what actions steps I should take, and so on.

My first personal goal is related to my boyfriend and I, so I left it blank because we're setting

it up after the new year starts, but you can see an example of how I used the sheets with

my Fitness Diary project.

Next year I want to start a fitness diary to record how my body changes as I train and

become stronger and healthier.

Besides the weight training and pole fitness training I'm doing, I will also start a new

diet so I am hoping to see big changes in my body and well being in general.

Some of the specific information Alexis recommends to write are the resources you need and have,

and the action steps you need to execute to work towards completing your goal.

Since my fitness diary is going to be a small monthly project, I'll have to repeat the same

action steps every month of the year, so I wrote them down here in a list to have them together.

I will also rate the month with a 5 stars system, so I broke down how many stars I'm

giving myself for my performance in terms of my diet (2), the training itself (2) and how well

I keep up with taking my supplements (1).

I did the same process with some of the other goals.

The ones that I did not cover in my notebook are in my Evernote notebook because I felt

they were easier to track and plan with a digital notebook and apps.

As an example, one of the goals I have is to complete an app I am designing with my

sister.

So, in order to be able to easily share the information I have with her, I make digital

notes and share them.

The next section of my journal has my monthly plans and weekly layouts.

I created these beautiful coloring pages to use them as my month covers.

If you follow me on instagram you probably saw this one I colored on Christmas day.

These calendars are available on my Etsy store.

There's two versions of them: one with a BuJo style calendar on the back and another with

a classic calendar and a notes page at the end of the month, so you can choose the design

that works best for you.

They are undated, so you can start planning on them whenever you want throughout the year.

I'm using the BuJo style for January, and I'll keep you updated if I change to the other layout for other months.

Since I'll be doing monthly plan with me videos

I'll keep you updated on how anything changes in my notebook

For the first months of the year, I am going to

be using this simple 1 page setup.

I decided to do this because I know I have more things going on during these months and

I want to focus on working towards completing the goals I set for myself.

I have a monthly tracker where I plan to keep track of when I upload Youtube videos and

when I post on Instagram. I want to upload every Friday and post on Instagram pretty much every other day.

The next part is my Projects Master List for the month.

First I decided what videos I want to record and here I left 2 spots open because I want

you to tell me what videos you'd like me to create.

I want to make sure I'm giving you guys the content you want too.

A big announcement that I wanted to make is that I will go back to making Patreon content

next month.

Patreon is a platform that allows artists to share content with their followers and

receive a small support from them every month.

This way, followers help the artist create content on a regular basis.

The way my Patreon works right now is that you get whatever artistic content I was going

to create for Etsy at a lower price.

For example, the calendars are listed at $8 on Etsy, but they are part of the $3 reward on Patreon.

If this sounds interesting to you, definitely go check it out.

The final section is for 'the future'.

Basically, this is a space where I plan to write down anything that comes up such as

an idea or a project that I might want to consider to do or be part of in the future.

Now here is my weekly setup.

It's similar to I had done before with a weekly header, a list of the 5 projects I want to

work on and the top 3 tasks I accomplished each day.

Something new I added to it was a time log.

In this time log I will track how much time I am investing into the different projects

I set out to complete this month.

I also have a gratitude section and, similar to my Fitness Diary, I'm going to rate the

week considering how productive I was and how I felt during the week.

On the back I just have a blank page to journal about my week.

That's pretty much the whole setup

The rest of the notebook are blank pages and some coloring calendars I printed in advance.

This is everything for today's video.

If you liked it, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel.

Remember to let me know what videos you'd like me to record this new year,

and also remember to go checkout the second video for my setup when upload it

Thanks for watching and I will see you next time!

Lump of goop growing on a man's back for 30 YEARS is finally squeezed - Duration: 3:06.

'That could gag a maggot!': Lump of yellow goop growing on a man's back for 30 YEARS is finally squeezed - and it was no clean affair

As far a pimple-popping videos go, this has to be up there with the worst.

PHOTO: The unidentified patient from Kelowna, Canada, kneels down to reveal a lump on his back the size of a ping pong ball - that has been growing for 30 years

The unidentified patient from Kelowna, Canada, kneels down to reveal a lump on his back the size of a ping pong ball - that has been growing for 30 years.

And, as expected, removing it was no clean affair. In the video, the man can be seen clenching his fists and bowing his head as a rubber-gloved friend takes hold of the reddening lump.

PHOTO: After a few seconds of intense squeezing, the lump slowly opens - and a smooth line of thick yellow matter snails out

After a few seconds of intense squeezing, the lump slowly opens - and a smooth line of thick yellow matter snails out.

'Holy f***,' the would-be doctor mutters, before friends in the room catch on to what's happening.

'Oh my God, that's f*****g disgusting!' a woman screams off camera. 'It's like cheese!' Screams continue as the patient looks around asking what it looks like.

PHOTO: 'Oh my God, that's f*****g disgusting!' a woman screams off camera. 'It's like cheese!'

Meanwhile the seemingly endless line of yellow matter continues to spill out onto his back.

'Oh my god,' the man squeezing the cyst exclaims, grimacing as he wipes up the clump into a tissue.

'That could gag a maggot,' he adds. 'Holy f***!' The whole video ends when the cyst-popper holds the tissue of pus in front of the patient's face.

PHOTO: The seemingly endless line of yellow matter continues to spill out onto his back

Taken aback with shock the patient throws himself backwards, hitting the phone out of the cameraman's hand.

The video was not performed by the official Dr Pimple Popper (aka Dr Sandra Lee). But it has garnered fans on Facebook pages aspiring to reach her heights of nauseating cyst removals

PHOTO: The cyst seems to be a lipoma. A lipoma is slow-growing, benign growth of fat cells, found right under the skin

It is not clear exactly what this man's cyst was, but it seems to be a lipoma. A lipoma is slow-growing, benign growth of fat cells, found right under the skin.

It moves around easily with slight pressure. It is not cancerous and treatment generally is not necessary.

PHOTO: 'Oh my god,' the man squeezing the cyst exclaims, grimacing as he wipes up the clump into a tissue

If the lipoma is on a pressure-bearing area, it may create discomfort and this is when people seek removal.

People also request removal because they don't like the appearance of these bumps. Often a small incision can be made over the lipoma and they can be 'popped' out easily.

PHOTO: The whole video ends when the cyst-popper holds the tissue of pus in front of the patient's face - shortly after this screengrab

Advice for Older Entrepreneurs With No Patience - Duration: 4:24.

- You talked a little while ago about a 19-year-old entrepreneur

their biggest asset is patience.

- [Gary] Yes.

- What is the older entrepreneur?

What should they have as their asset?

'Cause I'm not patient.

Three years ago I started a business with some other guys

we're now 80 people turning over £10 million.

- [Gary] Amazing.

- [Frank] I am not patient.

- You want more.

- Absolutely. It's fantastic.

- [Gary] It is amazing.

- What's my biggest asset now?

- Your asset is all the cliché stuff.

It's just cliché. Everybody said it.

What I think though is do I think instead of saying

"experience" I'm going to tweak it a little bit.

Do I think a 46-year-old man has a better chance of knowing

himself than a 19-year-old man? Yes I do.

I think we've all gone through it, right?

Even think about your transition from high school to university.

You just get there.

You get more comfortable with yourself the second more

comfortable you start being more honest with yourself.

So at this point in your life and my life and your life

we should really know ourselves.

And so it's even interesting for me to hear that you started with

a couple other gentlemen.

To me, my hope for my own kind of personal picture that I'm

trying to paint here is that the three of you had some crossover

skills but you're all maintaining your core skill and

that is what's helping the business.

You're taking care of this, that person is taking care of that,

and the other person is there.

That is a very common thing for older entrepreneurs because at

that point they've shed their wants and their romance about

being the best sales guy or the best salesgirl and now they know

I'm really good at CFO, finances

I'll never let us go out of business.

I got the numbers. Don't worry guys,

you go be crazy 'cause I'm gonna make sure that we pay our bills.

You go make sure the staff loves us and now we've got this.

I was gifted that I do a lot of the principles well.

All of them.

Finance probably being my weakest, it's probably the one

that's most commoditized when your business through your dad

and your brother if they steal from you it's a good story.

(laughter)

I think that your biggest advantage is that you got,

it's probably the narrative to why you are succeeding.

Now the question becomes a more interesting one.

I'm going to take you in a different place that's probably

more grounded in the actual energy.

I think the big thing now at this point in your life is to

really try to figure out very quickly what you want to happen.

And the problem is you have two other people that may want

different things.

But if you're able to align that you guys want to sell the

company soon because that's a real cash out on that kind of

revenue then all of your behaviors

have to go in that direction.

You have to the figure who you can sell to you, you have to

start becoming a media company to them.

When the great misplays of a brand is if I wanted to sell

VaynerMedia tomorrow it would happen in 30 minutes

not onrevenue, on the fact that I would market to the people that

could actually by me.

I don't think Martin Sorrell knows who I am, in 20 minutes he

would want to rip his arm off the buy us.

That's what I'm good at.

What I would love to know is how aligned are you guys and

if you're aligned make all your actions go in that direction.

That's interesting to me. Right?

That's where you can be something amazing happen.

So I think that's something to really give some

serious thought to.

But I think it's self-awareness at this point.

You got so much more history in your 20, 30 years of

entrepreneurship that allows you to and you should shed whatever

pride you have left in principles that you don't bring

to the table as well as you know partners do the more you could

shed down to only focusing on what you do.

Me and AJ are so efficient 'cause we not discuss the things

that we know the other person is better at.

We don't even talk about it.

You know?

Big.

When one broaches the subject, the other gets pissed.

Right?

'Cause why would we even waste time?

You know I'm better at this than you and

we have become efficient.

Like fucking efficient, you know?

And time is the asset.

So why debate? Got it?

- Yeah, that's great. That's great.

We're on the path.

- [Gary] And the other thing I would tell you

I would highly recommend that you forcing your other two partners

to over communicate with the three of you at all times.

Force communication right now.

You're successful and you're at this age.

This is an interesting time.

Force communication.

Anything that you think is sitting in your heart that needs

to be talked about with the other two partners

I would tell you to do that tomorrow.

The quicker you get it out the better you're gonna be.

- [Frank] Yeah, thank you Gary.

- You're welcome.

(applause)

Jeep Wrangler Rugged Ridge XHD Modular Snorkel Kit (2007-2017 JK) Review - Duration: 8:56.

I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com, and this is my review of the Rugged Ridge XHD Modular

Snorkel Kit, fitting all 2007 and of JKs.

There are a couple of different versions of this snorkel kit available, depending on which

engine you have in your jeep, so make sure you get the right one for your year.

There are also a couple of different configurations of this snorkel.

Because, of course, this is a modular kit, where you see in front of me includes just

the low-mount.

However, the high-mount is available with or without the pre-filter, and you can also

purchase the pre-filter separately, and then there is a kit that comes with the high-mount

and the low-mount, and really all of the pieces, all in one box for you as well, if you decided

to go that route.

This installation is going to be a three out of three wrenches.

There is going to be a good bit of cutting, grinding and drilling involved in installing

this in your jeep.

However, Rugged Ridge does have the forethought to provide a bracket, to reinstall all of

your factory body panels in their factory location, if you were ever to get rid of the

snorkel kit, so that is a nice feature, but we'll talk a little but more about the installation

in a bit.

We're also gonna talk through the construction in a few of the features of the system.

The basic reason to run a snorkel on your jeep, is to raise up the air intake allowing

you to do deeper water crossings, without the risk of sucking water into the engine.

Having water in the engine will hydro lock the motor, which can cause a lot of damage,

and possibly even replacing the motor.

So, if you are going to do some deep water crossings, a snorkel is a good idea.

And if you're going to run a snorkel, you need to know that it's going to work, and

it's not going to have a lot of different pieces that snap together, that aren't watertight,

and still going to let water into your engine.

So in my opinion, if you are running a snorkel, because you're going to use it for its intended

purpose off-road, you're gonna want to spend a little bit of money, and get a good one

that you know is going to work.

Now, there are a lot of you out there that just want to run a snorkel, because you like

the way it looks.

And if that's the case there are some less expensive options than this one on the market.

Or there are some of you that just want to run a snorkel because it's a true cold air

intake.

This will draw engine air from outside of the engine compartment, giving you fresh,

cool, clean air, which can help with the performance of it.

And if that's your reason for running a snorkel, again, you can go with one of the less expensive

snorkels than this one.

But if you are gonna do some deep water crossings, and you want to spend a little bit of money

and make sure you get one that is going to keep water out of the engine, like this one.

Now, I really like this kit in particular from Rugged Ridge because it is modular.

I'm one of the people out there that doesn't love the look of a snorkel going up the A-pillar

of your jeep.

With this modular what it allows you to do is run the low-mount, which is still visible

but not nearly as much as a high-mount.

You can run this on the street, or you can run this when you're running trails that are

fairly dry, but with a couple of screws, you can remove the low mounts, and snap the high-mount

into place, and you have an extra degree of protection if you do plan on doing some deeper

water crossings.

Now, I mentioned that there are some less expensive options of snorkels out there on

the market, if you're not really going to be using it for its intended purpose of deep

water crossings.

As far as other snorkels that are well-built, are water tight and are ready to do those

deep water crossings, this one isn't that much more expensive than the tough tier snorkels

on the market.

And to gain the ability to have the modular system that allows you to run the low-mount,

I think that this is a pretty good deal.

This kit does include all of the components you're going to need to get it installed.

starting at the factory air box, this is the new lower section with a new molded intake

built right into it that's going to attach to the silicon pipe, the aluminum pipe, all

the way out to, of course, the snorkel section.

Now, this snorkel piece runs on the inside of your fender, and the top portion that you

actually see replaces the corner cowl on your jeep.

So again, it is very low profile.

It doesn't take up a lot of space.

It doesn't run all the way up to your A-pillar until you snap that high-mount into place

when you need that functionality.

Overall, this is a one-piece molded plastic which, again, that's what I talked about before,

getting rid of any additional joints that can let water in, this is going to be very,

very functional.

This is designed with a U-shape pear[SP] on the intake and it has a drain in the bottom.

So if you were to splash any water up into your low-mount or even into your high-mount,

if you went that deep, it would be able to drain out before getting into your factory

air box.

So the factory air box also is designed to drain any water out that you may get in.

So you do have redundant safety measures built in, doing everything possible to keep water

out of your engine which, of course, can be catastrophic.

As far as the installation is concerned, as I said before, this is a three out of three

wrench installation.

This does require a good bit of modification to your jeep.

Now, all of that being said, Rugged Ridge does provide you with a bracket, so that even

though you're cutting, and drilling, and making modifications to your jeep, if you ever got

rid of this snorkel kit, you would be able to reinstall that factory cowl corner piece,

because of the bracket included.

It's a really nice feature from Rugged Ridge.

Oftentimes, when you do those permanent modifications to your jeep, there's no way back with the

bracket that they include.

You can return back to factory which again is something I really like.

Either way, the installation does require a lot of cutting and drilling, so if that

something you're not comfortable with, there is no shame in taking this to a shop and having

them install it in your jeep.

The first step in the installation is actually loosening and partially removing your factory

fender.

You're going to do that in order to get this snorkel installed.

So there are a bunch of bolts that you'll have to remove, part of the inner fender liner,

down to the pinch seam, a lot of bolts you have to remove and loosen in order to get

that fender removed.

You'll also be removing the cowl cover, and eventually removing your cowl corner.

That's where you end up having to drill out some welds, do some cutting with a cut-off

wheel, have a Dremel handy to clean up those cuts, of course you're gonna want to paint

any of those areas of the sheath, nail that you've cut to keep them from rusting, all

of that so we can fit the snorkel section in place and, of course, there's some modification

to the air box with this new air box lower section, and then all of the piping and all

of the hardware to make all of this stuff work together.

Once you're done with that, actually, changing from the low-mount to the high-mount is a

very simple process.

There's just a couple of screws that you'll need to remove to pop the low-mount off to

snap the high-mount into place, so that's not really a big deal.

But actually getting the snorkel section installed in the engine bag is going to be a lot of

work that requires a lot of cutting and drilling.

If you do plan on tackling this yourself, this is going to be an install that I would

set aside probably around four to even five hours to get done, start to finish.

You are going to want be very careful with those cuts, of course.

There's a lot of disassembly and a lot of reassembly to do to get this done.

And, again, if you do decide to tackle this yourself, you are going to need a cut-off

wheel, or you're going to need a Dremel, a drill, pretty much every tool that you might

have in your toolbox to get this done.

I mentioned before that I think this is really fairly priced and I stand by that.

There are certainly less expensive snorkels on the market.

but I wouldn't trust them to go through deep water in my jeep.

They have too many joints, too many areas, where they can fail, and getting water into

the engine can be catastrophic, can be very expensive, not to mention leaving you stranded

on the trail.

So for my money, if I'm going to be using a snorkel for the purpose of going through

deep water, this is the style of snorkel I want to get, something that is a one-piece

molded snorkel.

And I really like this one even over some of those top tier snorkels on the market.

because of the flexibility, because this is modular.

I love the idea of running the low-mount when I'm on the street or even doing some drilling

and drier environments but having the opportunity to snap the high-mount into place if I plan

on going through some deeper water, so that I can have that extra level of security.

So if you're looking to pick up a snorkel because you plan on going through some deep

water you just like the...or because you want a truly cold-air intake, I think that this

is going to be a really nice option for you.

I personally love the fact that this is modular, it gives you both the low-mount and the high-mount

option, even though the installation is a little bit involved.

So that's my review of the Rugged Ridge XHD Modular Snorkel Kit fitting all 2007, and

of JKs that you can find right here at extremeterrain.com.

Tape for Hybrid Cloud - Improving Your Storage Economics - Duration: 3:14.

A perfect data storm is on the horizon

data growth is accelerating aggressively

driven by the Internet of Things and big

data there is an increasing demand for

greater accessibility economical

retention of ever larger data

repositories and longer retention

periods for data companies are

considering cloud-based storage to

improve flexibility and efficiency yet

they still lack the confidence that data

will be available when they retrieve it

from the cloud and are unsure of the

real cost of cloud-based storage a

hybrid cloud approach - one that uses

traditional or internal cloud storage

and off-premises cloud storage maintains

security within the corporate firewall

takes advantage of public clouds

elasticity and quick provisioning and

provides excellent economics

keeping the cost of on-premises cloud storage within

budget while facing massive data growth

requires optimizing how every bit of

data is stored. Modern tape technology

meets data security requirements while

holding the reins on budget growth and

tape technology provides linear

scalability of capacity in the

foreseeable future ensuring more data is

stored in the same physical space.

Consider some key advantages of tape

tape offers significant cost savings

over both flash and disc with per

gigabyte cost declining as the amount of

stored data grows freeing up limited

budgets to spend on other IT priorities

to ensure data is safe, tape supports

encryption and WORM and also provides

air gap protection against malicious

attacks

tape can easily and inexpensively scale

to support data growth. Tape cartridges

add capacity quickly using only an

operating expense budget tape cartridges

are easily portable for shipping between

locations for physical security tape

technology has a much longer refresh

cycle than other storage media

cartridges have up to a 30 year lifespan.

Tape is also a green technology that

reduces heating cooling and power and

with IBM Spectrum Archive tape is as easy

to use as disk storage there's no need

for separate tape management resources

or software because the user interface

and processes are the same whether the

data is on tape or disk. Spectrum

Archive's open industry-standard Linear

Tape file system provides stability

choice and versatility storing data

economically accessing it when you need

it and keeping it safe are essential to

hybrid cloud infrastructures. Learn how

IBM tape and spectrum archive can help

your company deploy and optimize storage

in a hybrid cloud environment
