LETS REJOICE! Trump Just Landed one of the BEST Military Endorsements IN THE WORLD!!
When Donald Trump says that soldiers support him, he is NOT KIDDING!
Apparently, it's not just American soldiers jumping on the Trump Train either.
Now legendary British general Army Lord Richards has stepped forward, and he is not just excited
about Donald Trump, he thinks Trump is EXACTLY who the world needs right now!
You see, Army Lord Richards has a few key areas where he REALLY disagrees with Hillary
Clinton…
The Islamic State is the biggest threat to Democracy, not Russia
We SHOULD be working with Putin to defeat ISIS and radical Islam
Hillary Clinton's "no-fly zone" in Syria is the biggest potential starter of WW3 in
existence The ONLY way to beat ISIS is to work with
Syria and deal with them after, not continue arming more militant groups
So, to give you the short and skinny of it, Lord Richards finds that Hillary Clinton is
the BIGGEST threat to the security of the entire world.
Hell, from the looks of it, she may be EVEN WORSE THAN ISIS!
So thank you, Army Lord Richards, for having the balls to step forward and endorse Donald
Trump publicly.
Also, I think every needs to hear your assessment of Hillary.
It really is an eye opener.
Now help Lord Richards get his VERY important word out there by sharing this with every
single voting American you know!!BREAKING Trump Can't Believe It!
Look Who Will Help Trump Make America Great Again
This story by Paris Swade.
Trump just won again.
The mainstream media is wrong again.
U.S. Steel CEO Mario Longhi says that he's going to bring about 10,000 jobs to America.
He says that he is going to do it because he is confident that Donald Trump will make
America great again.
Liberals…
It's time for you to get the memo.
Here is what CEO Mario Longhi said about his confidence in Trump.
"United States Steel would like to accelerate its investments and hire back laid-off employees
now that Donald Trump will be occupying the Oval Office," CEO Mario Longhi told CNBC
on Wednesday.
Check this out in the video below.
"We already structured to do some things, but when you see in the near future improvement
to the tax laws, improvements to regulation, those two things by themselves may be a significant
driver to what we're going to do," said CEO Mario Longhi.
*** This translates to them saying that he is confident in president Trump!
You know what to do.
Let's prove the liberal media wrong.
Share, share, share this article everywhere.
It's up to all of us to stand up to the mainstream media bias.
Are you guys tired of winning yet?
I'm not.

WALMART Trump Will Be So Pssed When He Sees How They Just Betrayed America!
This story by Paris Swade.
Walmart has now officially signed on to sell Black Lives Matter Apparel.
These shirts are going to display the phrase, "Black Lives Matter" and show a fist in
the air!
If you also remember, Walmart pulled an "All Lives Matter" bumper sticker after they
stated that they thought it was offensive.
These liberals are such a disgrace.
*** Help us share this 1 million times!
We need to let Trump see it.
Here are the pictures of the new product:
Walmart is now stocking it's shelves with Black Lives Matter gear.
Let's boycott them.
Let's show them that we the people don't care about their crap.
It's sick that they have such obvious support for a group that has called for the death
of cops.
*** IT'S 'unpresidented' and APPALLING!
***
Walmart also sells Thin Blue Line apparel and shirts that read "Blue Lives Matter"
and at the same time sells gear that promotes the killing of cops.
Let's make this go viral, patriots!
This Christmas season let's send them a message.

Jill Stein Was Just Caught Red Handed…
Awe, sorry Liberals.
It looks like you should have just saved your money instead of giving it all to Jill Stein.
In case you are wondering, it is EXACTLY as bad as it sounds…
Despite having raised over $6 million of the $2 million she requested initially, Jill Stein's
campaign just announced they will NOT appeal the decision in Wisconsin to skip the recount!
But WAIT!
Didn't Jill Stein say that the reason she needed all that extra cash was to cover an
appeal?
Hmmmmmm….Very strange if you ask me…
I bet you guys are wondering what's gonna happen to all those millions of dollars now
that she is backing out.
I cannot say for sure other than the fact that it will NOT be going back to the donors.
Now, what she did was not a crime.
Her petition stated very clearly that she would get to keep any unused money to use
as she sees fit.
This right here is EXACTLY why I hate crowd sourcing.
Crowd Source funding has its merits, but it is also frequently used to scam morons out
of tons of money with next to nothing in return.
Honestly, you might as well spend your money on scratch off lottery tickets that have some
kind of pay-off.
Now that Jill Stein has shown her true colors and Hillary Clinton's final attempt at stealing
the presidency have been crushed it will be very interesting to see how the Democrats
react.
If you are excited and proud to be a part of Trump's America, show your support by
sharing this with all your friends and exposing Jill Stein!!ROCKY IS GOING TO WASHINGTON Look
What Position Trump Gave Sylvester Stallone…
This story by Paris Swade.
Donald Trump has now approached Sylvester Stallone to work in a top arts-related position
in the White House, according to the DailyMail.com.
The Rocky star loves Trump and is a long-time fan of him.
*** He is super pumped too!
The rumor is that Sylvester Stallone will take a position as a Chairman of the National
Endowment of the arts, according to the Daily Mail.
This is a federal agency that gives out money to artists.
He is going to punch it out!
What a great pic!
I can't believe that Rocky may be going to Washington.
This is awesome.
#SHARE THIS IF YOU THINK THIS IS AWESOME!
His appointment is going to have to be chosen by Congress.

Trump Today!
This story by Paris Swade.
Indri Nooyi is the CEO of PepsiCo.
In 2008, PEPSI backed Obama with their Oba-logo and their Hopey-Change website.
Indri, the CEO, is a top Hillary Clinton supporter.
Indri told reporters that her employees were "all" scared and crying on the floor after
Trump's victory.
** She wasn't scared when Trump supporters were getting cold-cocked and sucker punched
after rallies!
Now, she feels scared.
Is Mrs. Indri serious?
I bet they weren't as scared as Trump voters getting beat by Hillary's paid protestors.
Let's take a look at that, Indri.
That's what your people endorsed.
That's real violence.
That's real racism, Indri.
Here is what she said about Trump winning:
"I had to answer a lot of questions from my daughters, from our employees.
They were all in mourning," said Indri on Thursday.
"Our employees were all crying," she said.
"And the question that they're asking, especially those who are not white, 'Are
we safe?'
Women are asking, 'Are we safe?'
LGBT people are asking, 'Are we safe?'
I never thought I would have to answer those questions."
*** Is she real?!?
I say we not accept her bigotry.
I say we will not accept her brown sugar water anymore.
I'm a Coke drinker, anyway.
Bye, bye Pepsi!
It's time for you to go bye, bye.
These companies need to learn what happens when you insult half the nation.
We are not racist.
We are not xenophobes.
We just want jobs.

Sean Hannity Just RISKED His Career To Say 1 Thing About Melania Trump
This story by Paris Swade.
The liberal media has been attacking Melania Trump for "plagiarizing" Michelle Obama.
Republicans are coming to the defense of him in droves.
Everyone is now getting called for plagiarism!
You know why, huh?
We all know it's because the liberals saw that labeling Trump as a racist didn't work.
Now, they are trying to label everything associated with his campaign as racist.
In fact, look at the footage below.
Let's show the world how much Obama plagiarized speeches for his 2008 campaign.
Let's take a lookt at another one.
Sean Hannity then stepped into the ring and risked his career to BRUTALLY insult Obama,
Obummer, Ovomit, Satan's helper or whatever you want to call him.
Let's help Sean Hannity expose these liberals.
They are trying to ruin America, but we need to make America great again.
Go out and share this one Facebook.
Let's get the message out.
The Democrats may own the media but we have more people.

WHY THE CITY'S COURT SYSTEM
IS FAILING ITS NON-ENGLISH
SPEAKING IMMIGRANTS.
AND AN UNDERGROUND
IMMIGRANT STORY- ONE WOMAN
TELLS HER TALE OF GIVING
UP ON HER LIFE AS A HIGH POWERED
WALL STREET ANALYST TO
CHANGE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT
IMMIGRATION IN THIS COUNTRY.
THE DETAILS COMING UP.
♪ [THEME MUSIC] ♪
"INDEPENDENT SOURCES" YOUR
WINDOW TO THE CITY'S ETHNIC AND
IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.
HERE'S YOUR HOST,
GARRY PIERRE-PIERRE.
>> IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE STANDING
IN FRONT OF A JUDGE WHO IS ABOUT
TO DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE AND
THAT OF YOUR FAMILY AND DESPITE
YOUR GREATEST EFFORTS YOU ARE
NOT ABLE TO GET THROUGH TO HIM
OR HER NOT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T
SPEAK BUT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.
THAT IS HAPPENING TO MANY
IMMIGRANTS IN THE NEW YORK COURT
SYSTEM TODAY ACCORDING TO LEGAL
SERVICES NYC.
ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF LEGAL
AID ATTORNEYS SURVEYED
SAID THAT THEY HAD CASES
ADJOURNED BECAUSE OF LANGUAGE
BARRIER.
THIS IS WREAKING HAVOC ON LIVES
OF MANY IMMIGRANTS AS WELL AS
CREATING MASSIVE BACK LOG IN THE
COURTS.
I SPOKE WITH THE DIRECTOR OF THE
CIVIL RIGHTS JUSTICE INITIATIVE
AT LSNYC TO FIND
OUT MORE ABOUT WHY THIS
IS THE CASE AND WHAT IS BEING
DONE TO ADDRESS IT.
WHEN WE WERE DISCUSSING THE
STORY OF ONE OF THE PRODUCERS
AND I SAID REALLY IN NEW YORK
CITY WE HAVE ISSUES HOW CAN THAT
BE?
>> I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF
REASONS WHY IT HAPPENS.
SOME OF IT IS SORT OF HOW OUR
COURTS WORK.
I THINK ACROSS THE BOARD
FEDERALLY AND STATE AND CITY
LEVEL COURTS HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO KEEP UP WITH THE VOLUME OF
CASES THAT ARE HAPPENING.
A LOT OF IT REALLY IS THAT.
BUT THEN THE LOGISTICS AND
FUNDING, MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE
KNOW TO USE THEM AND HOW TO USE
THEM IS THE REAL CHALLENGE.
AT THE SAME TIME THE CITY OF NEW
YORK HAS BEEN EXTREMELY DIVERSE
FOREVER SO IT IS NOT REALLY A
SURPRISE THAT WE NEED A LOT OF
SERVICES TO SERVE OUR POPULATION
WELL.
>> HOW IS THE CITY ADDRESSING
THE SHORTAGE?
>> THE OFFICE OF COURT
ADMINISTRATION WHICH ADMINISTERS
ALL THE COURTS IN THE UNITED
STATES HAVE MADE IT A PRIORITY
FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS BUT IT IS
JUST EXECUTING IT THAT I THINK
IS THE PROBLEM.
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IN THE
COMING YEAR THEY ARE ROLLING OUT
NEW PRACTICES AND NEW
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT I THINK
WILL HELP.
THERE IS A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONAL
AND SORT OF MODERNIZATION THAT
THE COURTS NEED TO DO IN ORDER
TO CATCH UP AND SERVE PEOPLE
WELL.
>> IS MONEY AT THE CORE OF THIS
PROBLEM OR IS NOT BEING ABLE TO
FIND INTERPRETERS?
WHAT IS AT THE ROOT OF THE
PROBLEM?
>> I THINK MONEY IS PART OF THE
PROBLEM.
FINDING INTERPRETERS WHO CAN
WORK FOR HOWEVER MUCH THE COURTS
PAY IS A PROBLEM.
SOME OF IT IS LOGISTICS.
FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT NOW IN NEW
YORK CITY WITH THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING CRISIS THE HOUSING
COURTS ARE GETTING PACKED WITH
PEOPLE.
AND SO IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH
THAT DEMAND YOU REALLY HAVE TO
HAVE A SMOOTH RUNNING SCHEDULE
AND A SMOOTH RUNNING COURT
SYSTEM WHERE IN REALITY THE
THE HOUSING COURT OFTEN STILL
WORK ON PAPER, THEY HAVE
PAPER FILES THAT MAKE IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO COORDINATE SO THAT
IS A LARGE PART OF THE PROBLEM.
>> SO FOR SMART PHONES AND
DEVICES, IS THERE ANY TECHNOLOGY
THAT CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS?
>> I THINK EVERYONE IS REALLY
WAITING FOR THAT FIX THAT WILL
ACTUALLY WORK.
AS IT STANDS I THINK THEY REALLY
DON'T WORK.
THERE IS A GREAT FEAR
IN THE LANGUAGE ACCESS
COMMUNITY THAT
COURTS OR POLICE WILL START
RELYING ON GOOGLE TRANSLATE
WHICH IS NOT THAT GREAT.
>> IT HAS GOTTEN BETTER.
>> AT COMMUNICATING LIKE
ORDERING FOOD AT A RESTAURANT
BUT TALKING ABOUT THINGS WHERE
PRECISION IS REALLY IMPORTANT
ESPECIALLY IN THE COURTS IT'S
JUST NOT FUNCTIONAL.
I THINK WHEN AI CATCHES UP
AND LEARNS ALL THE LANGUAGES IT
WILL BE AN EASY PROBLEM TO FIX.
>> ARE THERE LANGUAGES THAT ARE
PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT TO FILL?
>> I DON'T KNOW THE DIFFICULTY
FROM WITHIN THE COURT SYSTEM
ABOUT WHY THEY ARE NOT BEING
FILLED BUT WE HAVE FOUND
INTERPRETERS FOR ARABIC
PARTICULARLY DIFFERENT DIALECTS
AND CHINESE IS A TERM THAT
ENCOMPASSES HUNDREDS OF
DIFFERENT DIALECTS.
WE HAVE INTERPRETERS.
BUT THEN THERE IS A WHOLE
PLETHORA OF OTHER DIALECTS THAT
ARE QUITE COMMON IN NEW YORK.
>> GIVE US A SENSE OF WHY IT IS
IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN INTERPRETER
IN COURT.
>> I THINK IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE
TO UNDERSTAND IF THEY'VE NEVER
LIVED IN A COUNTRY WHERE THEY
DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE.
OR THEY DON'T SPEAK THE
LANGUAGE WELL.
THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS
THAT IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE AT THE LEVEL THAT
YOU WANT TO OR ARE ABLE TO YOU
CAN'T COMMUNICATE PROPERLY.
YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS
GOING ON AND YOU CAN'T
PARTICIPATE IN REALLY IMPORTANT
DECISIONS ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHERE
YOU LIVE, WHAT BENEFITS, CUSTODY
OF YOUR CHILDREN, THESE HUGELY
IMPORTANT THINGS.
IF YOU CAN'T PARTICIPATE WELL
YOU CAN'T ACHIEVE JUSTICE
ACCURATELY.
SOMEBODY WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH A
LITTLE BIT AND FORCED TO USE
LIMITED ENGLISH CAN SOUND MUCH
LESS CREDIBLE BECAUSE ALL THEY
CAN SAY IS I PAID MY RENT.
THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN WHATEVER IT
IS TO ALLOW THE JUDGE TO
DETERMINE THEIR CREDIBILITY.
>> WHEN POLICE OFFICERS
INTERACT WITH A POTENTIAL
SUSPECT WHAT HAPPENS THERE IF
THE PERSON DOES NOT SPEAK
ENGLISH?
>> SO STARTING SOON THE CITY IS
IN THE PROCESS OF ROLLING OUT A
NEW PROGRAM THAT WILL GIVE
OFFICERS ACCESS TO A PRIVATE
PROVIDER TELEPHONE
INTERPRETATION SERVICES.
SOON I THINK CITY WIDE POLICE
WILL HOPEFULLY BE ABLE TO
INTERACT WITH ANYBODY IN ANY
LANGUAGE THROUGH A TELEPHONE
INTERPRETER.
IT'S BETTER THAN NOT BEING ABLE
TO COMMUNICATE AT ALL.
>> HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN USING
THAT SYSTEM FOR QUITE SOME
TIME.
>> AND PHARMACIES TOO. THERE
WAS A BILL PASSED IN NEW YORK
A FEW YEARS AGO
SO PEOPLE KNOW IT EXISTS.
WE'VE BEEN USING IT AT LEGAL
SERVICES FOR A LONG TIME.
>> NATIONALLY AND FEDERALLY, THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PROMISED TO
DEPORT PEOPLE AND THERE HAS BEEN
LOTS OF STORIES ABOUT THAT
HAPPENING, AS WE SPEAK,
PROBABLY.
I SUPPOSE INTERPRETER NEED HAS
NEVER BEEN MORE URGENT AND
GREATER.
>> IT'S HUGELY IMPORTANT.
DURING THE FIRST TRAVEL BAN ONE
OF THE HUGE PROBLEMS AT JFK WAS
PEOPLE WERE NOT GETTING
INTERPRETERS.
ANY NUMBER OF THINGS CAN HAPPEN.
YOU CAN'T PROTECT YOURSELF OR
ASK FOR A LAWYER IF YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING.
IT'S MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN
EVER.
AS FAR AS NEW YORK CITY BEING A
SANCTUARY CITY AND TRYING TO
MAKE THE CITY WELCOMING TO
IMMIGRANTS, YOU CAN DEBATE THE
DEGREE OF SANCTUARY BUT IF WE
CAN'T GET PEOPLE ACCESS TO
JUSTICE THEN WE ARE NOT REALLY A
WELCOMING CITY TO IMMIGRANTS.
IT IS HUGELY IMPORTANT THAT THEY
ARE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE
FULLY IN ALL OF OUR GOVERNMENT
SERVICES.
>> AND NATIONALLY IS THERE AN
EFFORT TO REALLY ADDRESS
THIS ISSUE? BECAUSE IT IS
COMING. IF YOU'RE GOING AFTER
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS AND
CHANCES ARE THEY DON'T SPEAK
ENGLISH ARE YOU ADVOCATING
ABOUT THAT PART OF IT?
THE FIGHT IS MUCH GREATER THAN
THAT.
BUT THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
>> THERE IS A RATIONAL COALITION
BUT WE ARE ALL SORT OF LOCALLY
FOCUSSED.
SO WE ARE TRYING TO SORT OF --
WE HAVE MONTHLY PHONE CALLS AND
TRY TO BE IN TOUCH WITH EACH
OTHER.
ONE OF THE BIG PROBLEMS I THINK
IS THAT NATIONALLY AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL THE COORDINATION
ABOUT LANGUAGE ACCESS
IS DONE HISTORICALLY TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
WHETHER THEY NOW ARE GOING TO
PRIORITIZE LANGUAGE ACCESS WE'LL
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
>> IT IS INTERESTING THAT
WASHINGTON WANTS TO HIRE
10,000 ICE OFFICERS BUT AT THE
SAME TIME NOT BUDGETING FOR
THE CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE
ACTIONS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT FOR
A LOT OF FEDERAL COURT CASES,
MOST FEDERAL COURT CIVIL CASES
THERE IS NOT A REQUIREMENT.
NEW YORK STATE, THEORITICALLY
EVERYONE GETS AN INTERPRETER.
IN THE FEDERAL
COURTS THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
IF YOU ARE CHARGED WITH CRIMINAL
VIOLATION OF THE CRIME OR BEING
DEPORTED YOU'LL GET AN
INTERPRETER BUT IF YOU'RE
BEING SUED IN A FEDERAL COURT
YOU DON'T GET AN INTERPRETER.
AND THAT'S A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
>> UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE OUT OF
TIME.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
>> THANKS SO MUCH.
>>> STILL TO COME ON THE SHOW,
AN AUTHOR'S UNDERGROUND
IMMIGRATION STORY MAY SOON
BE COMING TO YOUR VIDEO SCREENS.
>> THIS WEEK'S ON THE SHELF
FEATURES JULISSA ARCE,
AN UNDOCUMENTED
MEXICAN IMMIGRANT TURNED HIGH
POWERED ANALYST WHO WALKED AWAY
FROM THAT WORLD IN AN EFFORT TO
HELP OTHER IMMIGRANTS.
ARCE'S BOOK, "MY UNDERGROUND
AMERICAN DREAM" CHRONICLES
HER MIDDLE CLASS LIFE IN MEXICO
AND THE STRUGGLED SHE ENDURED
AFTER HER PARENTS BROUGHT HER
TO THE U.S.
ZYPHUS LEBRUN SPOKE TO ARCE
VIA SKYPE ABOUT THE BOOK AND
WHAT SHE MEANS WHEN SHE SAYS SHE
WANTS TO CHANGE THE CONVERSATION
ABOUT IMMIGRATION.
>>> JULISSA ARCE,
WELCOME TO "INDEPENDENT
SOURCES."
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME ON
THE SHOW.
>> YOUR BOOK, "MY UNDERGROUND
AMERICAN DREAM" WHY DID YOU
DECIDE TO WRITE THIS BOOK?
>> I WANTED TO WRITE A BOOK TO
TELL A DIFFERENT STORY OF
IMMIGRATION FROM WHAT EVERYONE
IS USED TO HEARING.
I THINK IMMIGRATION IS OFTEN
TOLD THROUGH A POLITICAL LENS,
THROUGH A NUMBERS GAME
AND NOT ENOUGH THROUGH HUMAN
PERSPECTIVE. SO I WANTED TO GIVE
A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT
IT MEANS TO BE AN IMMIGRANT TO
THIS COUNTRY.
>> NOW, YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT
YOUR LIFE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU
MENTION IN THE BOOK AND I WANT
TO READ A PASSAGE FROM THE BOOK
HERE SPECIFICALLY AND THEN WE
WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT.
THIS IS JUST AFTER YOU ARE TOLD
YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR BIRTHDAY
CELEBRATION.
YOU WRITE IN THE BOOK "I DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND THE TRUE
RAMIFICATIONS OF MY MOTHER'S
WORDS. ALL I'D HEARD WAS THAT
I COULDN'T HAVE MY PARTY, AND
I KNEW THIS WASN'T A PARTY THAT
I COULD THROW MYSELF WHEN
I WAS ALL GROWN UP AND RICH.
IT WASN'T A MOMENT I
COULD RE-CREATE.
IT WOULD BE GONE FOREVER.
I WAS TOO YOUNG OR MAYBE
TO NAIVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT
ON THAT NIGHT MY MOTHER
HAD SHARED A SECRET THAT
WOULD DEFINE AND HAUNT ME
FOR YEARS TO COME."
FOR ME THAT WAS A REALLY
POWERFUL GRAPH IN YOUR BOOK
IT KIND OF TALKS ABOUT TO ME OR
AT LEAST I GOT FROM IT THAT YOU
WERE STRUGGLING AT THAT MOMENT.
IT WAS A BIG MOMENT REVELATION
FOR YOU.
WHAT OF THAT MOMENT WAS THAT FOR
YOU LIKE?
COULD YOU WALK ME THROUGH YOUR
PROCESS THERE OF WHAT YOU FELT
WHEN YOUR MOM TOLD YOU THAT?
>> A LOT OF UNDOCUMENTED YOUNG
PEOPLE THAT CAME HERE,
BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS BROUGHT
THEM HERE, I THINK
ALL OF US HAVE THIS ONE MOMENT
WHERE WE REALIZE THAT WE ARE
UNDOCUMENTED.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAME HERE ON
OUR OWN AND THEREFORE
WE ALWAYS KNOW WE'RE
UNDOCUMENTED.
FOR ME THAT MOMENT IS THE MOMENT
THAT I FOUND OUT THAT I WAS
UNDOCUMENTED.
BUT ON THAT EVENING AS I WROTE
IN THE BOOK I DIDN'T REALIZE THE
REAL CONSEQUENCE WAS THAT I WAS
UNDOCUMENTED AND THEREFORE MY
LIFE IN AMERICA WAS GOING TO BE
VERY CHALLENGING AND VERY
DIFFICULT.
BUT THAT NIGHT I REALLY WAS JUST
SAD THAT I COULDN'T HAVE A
PARTY.
I WAS 14 YEARS OLD I THINK IS A
NORMAL REACTION NOT TO REALIZE
THAT THE WORDS MY MOTHER TOLD ME
HAD RAMIFICATIONS THAT ARE MUCH
BIGGER AND ARE GOING TO IMPACT
MY LIFE IN A DEEPER WAY.
>> YOU MENTIONED THE FACT THAT
YOU WANTED TO CHANGE THE
NARRATIVE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
IMMIGRANTS.
ONE OF THE THINGS YOU STRESS IN
THE BOOK IS THE FACT THAT YOUR
FAMILY HAD SUCCESS BUSINESS.
YOU HAD ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS
FROM EARLY ON SELLING TO THE
GUYS UNLOADING THE
TRUCKS NEAR WHERE YOU LIVE.
IS THAT A BIG PART OF IT, THIS
NOTION THAT NOT ALL IMMIGRANTS
ARE NECESSARILY POOR OR DOWN ON
THEIR LUCK.
>> IMMIGRANTS COME HERE TO TAKE
FROM AMERICA AND THAT WE COME
HERE TO GET ON WELFARE, BECAUSE
THAT A LOT OF TIMES IS THE
NARRATIVE.
SO WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW IN MY
BOOK WAS THAT IN FACT IMMIGRANTS
COME HERE FROM ALL TYPES OF BACK
GROUNDS.
NOT EVERY IMMIGRANT THAT COMES
HERE IS A POOR IMMIGRANT WHO HAS
NOTHING BACK HOME.
THE IMMIGRANTS WHO ACTUALLY
LEAVE BEHIND LAND AND LEAVE
BEHIND INCREDIBLE CAREERS
BECAUSE THEY ARE TRYING TO COME
TO AMERICA TO GIVE THEIR
CHILDREN A BETTER LIFE.
ALL WE WANTED TO DO WAS JUST GET
BY WE WOULD HAVE JUST STAYED
WHERE WE WERE.
WE MAKE INCREDIBLE SACRIFICES.
I'M SURE YOU READ THE SACRIFICES
I HAD TO MAKE IN MY LIFE.
WE DO THAT BECAUSE WE WANT
SOMETHING GREATER.
WE ARE SEEKING SOMETHING
GREATER.
>> ONE SACRIFICE IS THAT YOU
GIVE UP YOUR HIGH POWERED JOB AT
GOLDMAN SACHS.
I WANT TO STEP BACK AND THEN GO
FORWARD AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT
YOUR EXPERIENCE WORKING THERE.
YOU TALK ABOUT IT, IT WAS ONE OF
YOUR BIGGEST DREAMS TO WORK
THERE.
I WANT TO ASK WHAT WAS IT LIKE
WORKING THERE BEING
UNDOCUMENTED?
WE WILL GET TO THAT FIRST.
SECONDLY, KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHY
YOU DECIDED TO LEAVE.
>> WELL, WORKING IN WALL STREET
IS VERY STRESSFUL. IT'S A
VERY HIGH PACED ENVIRONMENT.
I HAD A REALLY INCREDIBLE CAREER
WORKING THERE. FIRST AT
GOLDMAN SACHS AND THEN AT
MERRILL LYNCH. I DID REALLY WELL
AND I ENJOYED THAT
REALLY FAST PACED ENVIRONMENT.
I WASN'T CONSTANTLY EVERY DAY
THINKING I'M UNDOCUMENTED.
REALLY DAY TO DAY I WAS
MORE WORRIED ABOUT MY NEXT
PROMOTION OR MY NEXT
RAISE OR THE NEXT YEILD I
HAD TO CLOSE
AND IN A LOT OF WAYS THAT WAS
BENEFICIAL TO ME BECAUSE THEN I
DIDN'T SPEND SO MUCH TIME
THINKING ABOUT MY IMMIGRATION
STATUS.
I WAS UNDOCUMENTED AND THAT FEAR
THAT ON ANY DAY I COULD BE FOUND
OUT AND SOMEBODY COULD REALIZE
THAT I WASN'T REALLY SUPPOSED TO
BE THERE, THAT FEAR WAS ALWAYS
THERE.
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I COULDN'T
DENY THE FACT THAT I WAS
UNDOCUMENTED BECAUSE THERE WERE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT I COULDN'T
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AND THINGS I
COULDN'T DO BECAUSE OF MY
IMMIGRATION STATUS.
>> DID THAT LEAD YOU TO LEAVING
GOLDMAN SACHS OR SOMETHING
ELSE?
>> I DON'T WANT TO GIVE TOO MUCH
AWAY, BUT I'M ACTUALLY NOW A
U.S. CITIZEN.
SO WHEN I LEFT GOLDMAN I
ACTUALLY WAS A PERMANENT
RESIDENT.
I HAD MY GREEN CARD.
IT WASN'T SO MUCH THAT
FRUSTRATION THAT LED ME TO
LEAVE IT WAS REALLY THE
REALIZATION THAT, WELL TWO
THINGS. ONE, IT WAS THIS
REALIZATION THAT MY
WHOLE LIFE
I HAD ONE GOAL IN MIND AND THAT
GOAL WAS HOW DO I BECOME
AMERICAN.
I SAY IT IN QUOTATIONS BECAUSE I
FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN AMERICAN
FOR MUCH LONGER THAN I'VE
HAD A U.S. PASSPORT.
HOW DO I FIX MY IMMIGRATION
STATUS?
I HAD THIS IDEA THAT MAYBE I
COULD GET REALLY RICH SOMEHOW I
WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX MY
IMMIGRATION STATUS.
THAT LINE THAT WE OFTEN TALK
ABOUT DOESN'T EXIST FOR MANY,
MANY PEOPLE.
IT IS ONE THING FOR THE ONE
PURPOSE.
I NEVER REALLY STEPPED BACK TO
REALLY THINK ABOUT WHAT IT IS
THAT I WANTED TO DO WITH MY
LIFE.
AND THE SECOND WAS THAT THERE
ARE SO MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO
FEEL TODAY EVERY DAY THERE ARE
THINGS THAT I DON'T DO AND NOW
HAVE TO LIVE IN EVEN MORE FEAR
THEN I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IN
THIS ADMINISTRIATION AND
SO GIVEN THE TWO THINGS
COMBINED I REALIZED
I CAN USE MY STORY TO
CHANGE THE NARRATIVE.
I CAN PERHAPS GIVE SOMEONE A
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE THAT THEY
HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED BEFORE AND
I CAN ALSO EMPOWER OTHER PEOPLE
WHO ARE IN MY SITUATION OR OTHER
PEOPLE WHO PERHAPS DON'T FEEL
LIKE THEY ARE PART OF WHAT MAKES
AMERICA.
>> DO YOU THINK THAT YOUR BOOK
CURRENTLY HOLDS MORE WEIGHT THAN
THE IT COULD BEFORE THE CURRENT
ADMINISTRATION?
>> I KNOW IMMIGRANTS ARE SEEING
SO MUCH ABOUT HOW IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES ARE BEING PERSECUTED
AND CRIMINALIZED.
THAT HAPPENS TO ME MY WHOLE
LIFE.
IN THAT SENSE IT IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT IS NEW.
IT CERTAINLY IS A EXACERBATED
BY THIS ADMINISTRATION
I THINK AT THE CORE THE AMERICAN
DREAM IS REALLY AN AMERICAN
STORY THAT TRANSCENDS SORT OF
WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
BECAUSE WHEN I LOOK AT MY LIFE A
STORY ABOUT OVERCOMING OBSTACLES
AND PERSEVERING.
AND THOSE PRINCIPLES ARE TRUE
REGARDLESS OF WHO IS PRESIDENT.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN VERY
ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY REACHING
OUT AND TALKING TO PEOPLE.
TELL ME A LITTLE ABOUT THAT,
SOME OF THE WORK YOU HAVE BEEN
DOING.
>> SO I CO FOUNDED A SCHOLARSHIP
FUND IN NEW YORK CITY.
WE PROVIDE COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIPS
AND MENTORSHIPS TO IMMIGRANTS IN
NEW YORK CITY REGARDLESS OF
THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS.
THIS YEAR WE WILL BE GIVING OUT
OUR FIFTH ROUND OF SCHOLARSHIPS.
WE HAVE GIVEN OUT COLLEGE
SCHOLARSHIPS WHICH CHANGED LIVES
FOR A LOT OF OUR SCHOLARS.
FOR A LOT OF THEM WE ARE THE
ONLY OPTION THAT THEY HAVE.
THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER FINANCIAL
AID OR SCHOLARSHIPS THEY HAVE
ACCESS TO. SO THAT'S PART OF
THE WORK THAT I DO.
I AM ALSO ON THE BOARD OF
NATIONAL IMMIGRATION LAW
CENTER. AND RIGHT NOW AS
WE'VE SEEN WITH RECENT EVENTS
WITH THE MUSLIM BAN FOR
EXAMPLE THE JUDICIARY BRANCH IS
OUR ONLY SORT OF LINE OF
DEFENSE AND THE IMMIGRATION LAW
CENTER HAS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT
ALONG SIDE THE ACLU FOR FILING
THIS AND OTHER THINGS FROM
HAPPENING.
I AM REALLY PROUD OF THE WORK
THAT THOSE ORGANIZATIONS ARE
CARRYING OUT.
>> READING THE BOOK, THERE IS
SOMETHING THAT I CAN'T GET BACK
TO AS IT GOES TO WHY IT TOOK
YOUR PARENTS SO LONG TO TELL YOU
THAT SECRET THAT THEY KEPT FROM
YOU ABOUT YOUR STATUS.
WHY WAS THAT THE CASE?
>> I THINK JUST LIKE EVERY
PARENT YOU ALWAYS WANT THE BEST
FOR YOUR CHILD.
I THINK THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN
ISSUES PERHAPS THAT YOU DON'T
WANT TO DISCUSS WITH A CHILD
BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO
TRAUMATIZE THEM, YOU
DON'T WANT TO WORRY THEM ABOUT
SOMETHING THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING
ABOUT.
AND ACTUALLY MY VISA DIDN'T
EXPIRE UNTIL I WAS 14.
SO MY MOM DID TELL ME MY VISA
EXPIRED THAT I COULDN'T GO TO
MEXICO BECAUSE MY VISA EXPIRED
AND THAT MADE ME UNDOCUMENTED.
I DID FIND OUT PRETTY SHORTLY
AFTER.
THEY DID FIND OUT UNTIL THEY
WERE GOING TO COLLEGE OR UNTIL
THEY WERE 16 TRYING TO GET A
DRIVER'S LICENSE.
I THINK IT IS BECAUSE PARENTS
WOULD RATHER ASK THEM ON FUTURE
THAN WORRYING ABOUT SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL AND THERE
IS NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT.
>> SO I JUST WANTED TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES
FOR THIS BOOK?
IT HAS BEEN OUT A COUPLE OF
MONTHS NOW.
IT IS AVAILABLE IN BOOK STORES
AND AMAZON.COM AND SO FORTH.
WHAT DO YOU HOPE CAN COME UP?
DO YOU INTEND TO PERHAPS STIR
MORE CONVERSATION ABOUT
IMMIGRATION?
>> YEAH.
IF SOMEBODY PICKS UP THE BOOK
AND THEY CAN AT THE VERY LEAST
HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
ABOUT THE ISSUE THEN I FEEL I
WOULD HAVE DONE MY JOB IN
WRITING THIS BOOK.
I AM REALLY EXCITED THAT THE
BOOK IS CURRENTLY BEING
DEVELOPED FOR A TELEVISION
SERIES WITH AMERICA FERRERA
HELPING ME TO PRODUCE IT.
TO ME THAT KIND OF JUST SHOWS
THE NEED FOR THESE PERSONAL
STORIES THAT ARE NOT JUST ONE
DIMENSIONAL. BECAUSE AT CORE,
WE AS HUMAN BEINGS,
WE ARE COMPLICATED.
SO I THINK YOU GET A LOT OF THAT
COMPLEXITY.
I'M AN IMMIGRANT BUT AT THE END
OF THE DAY I'M A HUMAN BEING.
AND I FACE CHALLENGES THAT MANY
PEOPLE FACE.
>> IT IS VERY SIGNIFICANT THAT
YOU SAID YOU WERE A HUMAN BEING.
IN THE BOOK YOU SAID THAT YOU
DIDN'T FEEL QUITE HUMAN WHEN YOU
FELT LIKE YOU WERE ON THE
OUTSIDE. I GUESS WE ALL GO
THROUGH THAT RIGHT, LIVING
IN TWO WORLDS.
>> IT'S BEEN A PLEASURE TALKING.
THE BOOK IS "MY UNDERGROUND
AMERICAN DREAM." JULISSA ARCE
THANK YOU FOR BEING ON
"INDEPENDENT SOURCES."
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> WHEN WE COME BACK,
QUEENS EMPLOYEES FIGHT BACK
WHEN NEARLY 100 OF THEM
COME UNDER HOMELAND
SECURITY SCRUTINY.
>>> FINALLY FROM US,
FROM TUCSON TO
CHICAGO THERE HAS BEEN A WAVE OF
DEPARTMENT HOMELAND SECURITY
WORKPLACE AUDITS AND
RAIDS AROUND THE COUNTRY.
THIS IS HAPPENING IN NEW YORK.
ON MARCH 15TH WORKERS AT THE
TOM CAT BAKERY RECEIVED A
COMPANY LETTER SAYING DHS WAS
DOING AN AUDIT AND WERE GIVEN
TEN WORKING DAYS TO PROVIDE
DOCUMENTS OR BE FIRED.
UP TO 100 WORKERS MAY BE
AFFECTED.
RATHER THAN ACCEPT THE TERMS
WORKERS DECIDED TO FIGHT BACK
WITH THEIR UNION, THE INDUSTRIAL
WORKERS OF THE WORLD AND
WITH THE NONPROFIT ADVOCACY
GROUP BRANDWORKERS.
THEY HELD A RALLY AND PRESS
CONFERENCE OUTSIDE OF THE
TOM CAT FACTORY.
>>> TOM CAT WAS CONTACTED
FOR THIS STORY BUT
DECLINED TO COMMENT.
THE COMPANY'S PRESIDENT AND
GENERAL MANAGER, JAMES RATH,
WAS QUOTED IN THE VILLAGE
VOICE AS SAYING IN PART,
"THERE IS NOTHING TO REPORT.
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
STANDARD HOMELAND
SECURITY INVESTIGATION DOCUMENT
AUDIT."
WE WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THE STORY
AS THINGS DEVELOP.
THAT'S OUR SHOW THIS WEEK.
THANKS FOR STAYING TUNED.
TILL NEXT TIME BE INDEPENDENT
MINDED.

Lesson 13 - Sancho is transformed - Duration: 6:09.
Hello and welcome back again
Chapters five and six of part two offer separate looks inside the respective households of
SP and DQ.
DQ's speech to his niece on the meaning of lineage, or what we would call today "heredity,"
is one of the most humanistic passages in all of Cervantes's writings, and I would
argue that it likely represents the author's own values.
Just as interesting is the dialogue between SP and his wife Teresa, which deals with the
same topic.
The first thing we note about chapter five is that the fictional narrator repeatedly
interrupts SP's discourse with critical comments made by the fictional translator:
"When the narrator came to write this fifth chapter, he says that he thinks it's apocryphal,
because here Sancho Panza speaks in a style different from what one would expect from
his limited intelligence and he says very subtle things which he doesn't think it
possible for him to know."
Thus, Cervantes achieves three effects: 1) he establishes the transformation of SP as
a major theme; 2) he mocks the Aristotelian idea of mimesis as simplistic, too restrictive
for his creativity; 3) he makes readers take note of his authorial presence and think critically
about his fictional characters.
SP announces to his wife that he plans another adventure with DQ: "because of my need and
the hope, which makes me happy, of imagining that I might find another hundred escudos
like the ones we have already spent."
Not only does SP keep alive the issue of the missing 100 escudos, he again emphasizes the
profit motive that we associate with both him and our author.
When SP expresses his mixed feelings about his departure, he sounds like a cultured poet:
"I'd be delighted not to be as happy as I appear."
Teresa doesn't understand: "I don't know how anybody can be happy not to be happy."
SP explains: "it makes me sad to have to leave you and my children; and if it were
God's will to give me food with my feet dry and in my own house, without dragging
me through wastelands and crossroads, He could do it at little cost and just by willing it."
This is labyrinthical stuff, but if we read closely, it's not a paradox.
SP doesn't want to have to ramble, but since he needs money, he goes.
This recalls the School of Salamanca's insistence that it's natural that man should be concerned
with his own wellbeing.
But let's not overlook the comedy here.
SP's expresses his usual obsession with his ass as if he were a crusader whose lady
should tend his warhorse: "you take special care of the gray these next three days, so
that he's ready to carry weapons: double his feed, inspect the packsaddle and the other
trappings, because we're not going to a wedding."
SP also reiterates that he will soon be "governor of an isle."
Teresa is skeptical regarding his political ambitions.
She puns on the word "government," meaning political power but also "judgement" or
"commonsense."
And if we listen closely, she even sounds anarchistic: "Oh please, no, husband of
mine... just live your life, and let the devil take all the governments there are in the
world; without government you were born from your mother's womb, without government you
have lived until now, and without government you will leave this world...
There are many who live without government, and yet that doesn't make them give up or
stop counting themselves among the peoples of the earth."
Ironically, she then contradicts her skepticism, sensing a chance for personal gain: "But
look here, Sancho: if you happen to find yourself in charge of some government, don't forget
about me and your children."
By the way, this is the first time that we learn Teresa's real name.
She was called "Juana Gutiérrez" in part one.
Cervantes mocks perfectionist readers, but he's also telling us what makes for an individual:
self-interest and critical awareness of others.
That's all for now, we'll see each other in our next video.

Joss Whedon Is Set to Direct a Standalone Batgirl Movie - Duration: 2:32.
Joss Whedon Is Set to Direct a Standalone Batgirl Movie
Batgirl is coming to DC's cinematic universe, and she's got one hell of a name directing her: Joss Whedon himself.
Confirmed by Variety today, Whedon is closing in on a deal to write, direct, and produce Barbara Gordon's entry into DC's cinematic universe.
There's no other information on the movie at all—other than the fact that other Gotham-based characters could appear alongside Barbara—but Variety describes the project as Warner Bros' "second" female-led DC superhero movie after Wonder Woman, which might seemingly indicate that this movie is coming sooner than David Ayer's planned Gotham City Sirens spinoff from Suicide Squad.
Variety also notes, however, that plans are still in the very earliest stages—apparently the project has only begun moving forward at Warner Bros. within the last month.
While the news of Barbara Gordon getting her movie dues is definitely welcome, there's mixed feelings to be had about Whedon's role in guiding the character—especially in part because of the backlash he received for the treatment of Black Widow in Avengers: Age of Ultron, a character Whedon has expressed a desire to return to despite the intense controversy over his decisions with her storyline in that movie.
Plus, there's something to be said unfortunately that a movie starring one of DC's most popular female heroes is, unlike Wonder Woman, potentially being helmed by a man.
We'll bring you more about Warner Bros. ' plans for Batgirl as we learn them.

by Facebook called Facebook Stories
Facebook has taken the best of Instagram
and the best of Snapchat and combined it
to make a really awesome feature for you
Since Facebook owns Instagram the
differences between the Instagram
Stories and Facebook Stories is pretty
negligible. Facebook does offer some
filter choices and different writing
choices that Instagram Stories doesn't
have. Facebook Stories and Instagram
Stories they both only lasts for 24
hours. So on Facebook at the top to the
left of stories is a thing called Direct
And that's where the Snapchat component
comes in. So Direct allows you to take
pictures or videos alter those and send
them to a specific friend or group of
friends. Just like Snapchat. So all in all
again it's snapchat and Instagram on one
platform. Now that you know more about
Facebook Stories go ahead and try it out

Is This Princess Kate Middleton Biggest Blowout Yet? The Royal Mom Stuns at Evening Gala - Duration: 3:06.
Princess Kate is stepping into the art world yet again.
On Tuesday, the royal mom headed out for a gala evening at London�s National Portrait
Gallery to view the latest exhibitions and meet guests and backers of the landmark museum.
And the royal mom looked stunning in a floor-length green Temperley London dress with lace details
and matching earrings from one of her go-to jewelry designers, Kiki McDonough.
But it was her gorgeous blowout that was the real showstopper � looking fuller and shinier
than ever!
Her bouncy dark curls were on full display as she made her way into the event.
Shortly after she arrived, Kate met with fellow parents from Thomas�s Battersea School in
London, the pre-preparatory that Prince George will attend in September, who told her it
was a �great school.�
Richard Found, who runs an architecture and design practice, was with his wife Jane Suitor,
an art consultant and collector, and told reporters: �We were chatting about Thomas,�
the school George will be going to.
We�re parents there as well.
She just said, �I may see you at the school gates.� �
During a reception, the royal toured the latest collections and was shown a range of artwork
that had been created, including 10 unique masks by designers like Dame Vivienne Westwood
and Philip Treacy.
Kate, who studied art history at the University of St. Andrews, where she met and fell in
love with Prince William, has been patron of the gallery since 2012.
In the past she has come face-to-face with her own image on the museum walls last year
she checked out the country chic photos from a commemorative Vogue shoot, and in 2013 she
was on hand for the unveiling of her official portrait.
Her Tuesday outing came as her office at Kensington Palace announced two more upcoming engagements
a European soft diplomacy mission to Luxembourg in May, and another to see the opening night
of the West End musical 42nd Street, in aid of one of her charities, East Anglia�s Children�s
Hospices (EACH), on April 4.
This year�s gala at the Portrait Gallery has been set up to support Coming Home, a
project that aims to make it possible for portraits of iconic individuals to return
to places that are special to them for a loan period so, for example, artwork featuring
subjects like David Beckham can go back to Essex, Sir Walter Raleigh might return to
Dorset, and the Bront� sisters to Yorkshire.

IS THIS THE END

Joss Whedon is set to direct a solo Batgirl movie - Duration: 3:23.
Joss Whedon is set to direct a solo Batgirl movie
Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon is set to start work on a Batgirl solo film. According to Variety, Whedon is onboard at Warner Bros.
to write, produce, and direct the movie, which will be set in the DC Extended Universe.
Little else is known about the solo project, but it's huge news for Whedon and DC. His last feature film was 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron in the competing Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It was a herculean effort for the director at the time, and the behind-the-scenes stress pushed him to break ties with the studio. Moving to Warner Bros. is a huge win for the DC's heroes.
And whatever comes of the eventual Batgirl movie, it immediately sounds like a good fit for the director. Batgirl, otherwise known as Barbara Gordon, first appeared in comics back in 1967.
As the brilliant daughter of Commissioner Gordon, she's left indelible mark on the so-called "Bat-Family," and has become a feminist icon in the comics industry.
Other Batgirls Whedon could approach include Betty Kane, who first debuted back in 1961, Cassandra Cain, who currently goes by Orphan in the comics, and Stephanie Brown, who originally went by Spoiler before taking up the Batgirl mantle briefly.
Given Whedon's love of powerful and complicated women in his work (see: Buffy, Dollhouse, and Firefly), it makes sense that he'd come on as writer-director.
The move to make a Batgirl movie also shows Warner Bros. fleshing out the DCEU with Batman-related heroes and villains.
The studio is already making Gotham City Sirens, which features Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman, as well as the Chris McKay-directed Nightwing movie, which will follow former Robin (and Batgirl love interest) Dick Grayson.
However, conversations will almost certainly be had as to whether or not a woman should have been tapped to handle this adaptation, considering how important the character is to female fans.

Royal Caribbean Tips and Money Saving Tricks - Duration: 10:44.
Hey Cruisers!
Royal Caribbean is awesome for adventure travelers of all ages, families with kids, and fun-seekers
wanting an adrenaline rush.
We're stoked to share some general tips with you, and finish off the episode with
some expert money saving tips from Matt, the host of Royal Caribbean Blog.
But first a little love for our sponsor cruiseline.com.
If you haven't checked out Cruiseline.com yet, head over there right after this video.
You can find reviews, tips and photos from real, everyday cruisers, no matter what class
of Royal Caribbean ship you choose.
So much cool stuff there, so be sure to check it out!
Let's get going with #1.
If you're splurging on a drink package, book your package EARLY using Royal Caribbean's
cruise planner.
Die hard Royal Caribbean fans KNOW that if you wait to book your drink package onboard,
you'll pay more for it.
You could save up to $10 per DAY by booking early.
Of course, the drink package doesn't always make sense, so be sure to calculate how many
drinks per day you'd have to drink EVERY day of your cruise to make it worth the cost.
If the drink package isn't your thing, you should know Royal Caribbean still allows cruisers
to bring two bottles of wine or champagne per stateroom, a great way to save a little
cash.
Leave the non-alcoholic beverages at home though, you're no longer allowed to bring
soda or water onboard.
#2 You can also make your specialty dining and activity reservations early using Royal
Caribbean's cruise planner.
If you book early, you might even be able to get a discount.
Whether it's venturing down the rabbit hole at Wonderland, indulging in a traditional
steak at Chops, or booking a show, a little pre-planning can ensure you get the most from
your dining and entertainment experiences onboard.
Insider tip: DON'T book your Aqua show tickets on the first night of your cruise leaving
Florida.
Rough seas tend to lead to cancellations.
Also, when it comes to activities, showing up early is always recommended.
Great examples of this are the parade and aqua shows, it's best to arrive early to
find the best seating for you and your crew.
#3 Visiting Labadee, Royal Caribbean's private destination?
We have some tips for you.
First, you've gotta try a Labadoozie.
You can order this citrusy, tropical concoction with or without rum, and it's a cult favorite
for a reason.
Want to know a secret?
The recipe can be found on RoyalCaribbeanblog.com, but don't tell anyone.
There's a ton to do in Labadee, including, shopping, zip lining, an aqua park and even
a roller coaster, but renting a cabana, if you score one early, is a total treat.
You'll enjoy little luxuries like a cooler full of water, extra towels, privacy, and
even a beach attendant.
#4 Let's jump back on the ship for some dining tips!
The Windjammer buffet hides a little secret that many cruisers don't catch on to until
later in their cruise, and that's the custom food stations.
You'll find everything from omelets at breakfast, to carving stations at dinner, which go way
beyond standard buffet fare.
That's not all.
Royal Caribbean's Cafe Promenade offers delicious coffee, which is considerably better than
what you'll find at the buffet.
Café Promenade ALSO offers killer roast beef sandwiches.
They're a huge fave amongst Royal Caribbean cruisers in the know.
#5 How about some activity hacks?
Quantum-class's North Star is awesome anytime you can take advantage of it, but you'll get
the best views on sea days, because the rising glass capsule sometimes can't extend out
as far while in port.
Catch the North Star on sea days for a better chance at the full 300 foot experience.
When it comes to activities, one of the best tips we hear, time after time, is to maximize
that first day!
Some of the most popular activities on Royal Caribbean ships tend to be a LOT less crowded
on embarkation day, so pack your swimsuit and sunscreen in that carry-on bag, and check
out the FlowRider, Ripcord by iFly, rock climbing and bumper cars on day 1.
While everyone else is getting a feel for the ship, and hitting the buffet, you can
be crossing adrenaline rushes off your list.
Now, if you're super serious about this idea, you can even sign the waivers for activities
like the zip line and flow before you cruise, so you can save time and hassle on your first
day.
Just check for them in your cruise planner on the Royal Caribbean website.
#5 Want to get the inside scoop before your Royal Caribbean cruise, from verified Royal
Caribbean cruisers?
You always hear us say "know your ship before you cruise" and in this case, the best way
to do that is to check out tens of thousands of ship, port and even cabin reviews at cruiseline.com.
If you're looking for a way to connect with other cruisers before you sail, check out
ShipMate App as well, and don't forget to upload YOUR review and photos when you return
from your cruise.
#6 Work that Cruise Compass!
Your daily newsletter is the key to making the most of your Royal Caribbean cruise, so
pack a highlighter pen, and a magnetic clip to affix your daily newsletter to the metal
walls in your stateroom.
If you're cruising with kids, they'll love being involved in choosing activities
for the next day, and you may even minimize those "what should we do now" situations.
Now, we're honored to bring you "five money saving tips for getting the best Royal
Caribbean cruise deal", from our friend Matt Hochberg, the host of the award winning
podcast and website, RoyalCaribbeanblog.com.
Matt is commonly asked how someone can save money on a Royal Caribbean cruise or just
get a good deal on their sailing.
While Matt says there is no silver bullet solution that will work for everyone, there
are some good guidelines Matt can share to getting you the best possible pricing.
#1 Book as early as you can to get the lowest possible fares.
In general, Royal Caribbean rewards those that book their cruises early with the lowest
fares.
As more people book a given sailing, prices tend to rise because there is less inventory
available.
Matt suggests we place a deposit on a sailing that can lock in that price until your final
payment date.
This not only gives you the lowest possible price, it also gives you the most time to
make payments on the cruise.
And, that deposit is fully refundable if you happen to change your mind later.
#2 - Use a travel agent.
Whether you are brand new to Royal Caribbean or a veteran, book your cruise with a good
travel agent.
It is their job to stay on top of the various deals and promotions Royal Caribbean rolls
out and because they are constantly pricing a variety of sailings across Royal Caribbean's
fleet, they may be aware of deals and savings that you might not have considered.
In addition, even after you book a cruise, Royal Caribbean is constantly rolling out
new promotions that could save you even more money, and a good travel agent will be there
to re-price things for you while you plan the fun parts of your cruise.
#3- Book a cruise during less-busy months.
Matt's first two tips will get you some great prices, but if you want to find those
super low cruise fares, consider taking a Royal Caribbean cruise when many others are
not willing to.
What does that mean?
Since Royal Caribbean is a family cruise line, you can save money by avoiding taking cruises
when kids are off from school for holidays.
Summer, Christmas, Spring Break and Easter are all times when families have built in
vacation time and many look to cruise.
In short, book your cruise while school is in session.
Here are the specific times of year when you will be able to save big: January (except
New Years), February (except Presidents Week), the First two weeks of March, October, November
(except thanksgiving), and the first two weeks of December.
#4- Consider ships sailing from alternate ports: In addition to considering time of
year, also consider the ports Royal Caribbean sails from and which ones can get you a better
deal.
Royal Caribbean offers cruises from a variety of ports around the world, but some sailings
always seem to be priced lower than other sailings mainly due to where the cruise departs
from.
In North America, you can often find great rates from Galveston, Texas, San Juan, Puerto
Rico, and Tampa, Florida.
#5- Skip the brand new ships.
When you watch any of Royal Caribbean's TV commercials, you will see scenes from their
Quantum and Oasis class ships and they are absolutely amazing experiences, but they also
come with premium pricing.
Royal Caribbean has a fleet of 23 cruise ships and they all offer really fun experiences.
The thing is, Royal Caribbean charges a premium for its newest ships, so some of the best
deals can be found with the relatively older classes of ships.
Here are Matt's five favorite ships that offer a tremendous value for the money: Independence
of the Seas, Liberty of the Seas, Enchantment of the Seas, Navigator of the Seas, and Brilliance
of the Seas.
There are plenty of others as well, but the bottom line is if you can look past the latest
and greatest, you can find great deals on some truly amazing ships.
Huge thanks to Matt from RoyalCaribbeanBlog.com for these awesome money saving ideas.

THERE IS AN UNSEEN REALITY CONTAINING DARK ENERGY AND DARK MATTER, STUDY - Duration: 3:18.
THERE IS AN UNSEEN REALITY CONTAINING DARK ENERGY AND DARK MATTER, STUDY
Physicists have been struggling for decades with the task of bridging the apparent contradictions
between the Standard Model of Physics, which comprises the known and observable laws of
this universe, and the way that particles change their behavior on the subatomic level.
Now a team or researchers from the South Korean government backed laboratory the Institute
of Basic Science have made a breakthrough which might go some way to grasping the answer
to this vitally important conundrum.
DARK PORTALS MIGHT EXPLAIN THE MOST ENDURING MYSTERY OF PHYSICS Scientists have become
aware of the presence of what is referred to as the dark matter in the universe.
While it is completely undetectable by conventional instruments, researchers have been able to
measure the interactions of this invisible matter through its effects on phenomenon such
as gravitational waves and gravitational lensing.
In order to explain dark matter, a number of theories have been put forward in the past
such as the existence of axions or dark photons which could theoretically be the agents by
which the dark dimension interacts with particles within the known universe.
However, the existence of these photons and axions has never been proved, and the mechanism
by which they could interact with particles in the known universe has never been adequately
explained by any existing model.
The South Korean team have suggested that there could be a fairly simple way that the
two dimensions interact with each other � via �dark axion portals�.
According to Lee Hye-Sung, one should understand the dark axion portal as an interaction point
where the two separate models of physics join together and interact.
Lee Hye-Sung writes; �The dark axion portal suggests the first meaningful connection between
the two physics, which have been studied separately: It connects the dots.
This will allow a reinterpretation of the previous data, and potentially make a breakthrough
in the axion and dark photon searches.� It will take a considerable amount of further
analysis and rigorous investigation before this theoretical assumption can be confirmed
by the scientific community.
However, if it is proven to be true, then scientists will be one huge step closer to
understanding the bridge between the apparent contradictions in the leading models
of physics.

OBSSR Director's Series Seminar with Dr. Sara Mooreman - Duration: 48:28.
>> Erica Moore: Hello and welcome to today's Office
of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research webinar
titled Residential Age Stratification: Effects on
Older Adults' Well-Being.
I'm Erica Moore, Communications Director of
OBSSR, and I will be today's moderator.
On behalf of OBSSR, I would like to thank you
all for attending today's session.
The agenda for today's webinar is simple.
In a moment, I will introduce today's speaker
Dr. Sara Moorman who will present on a project that
supposes the age composition of
neighborhoods is a key contributor to health and
well-being in mid and later life.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session
in which we will answer your questions.
Joining me and Dr. Moorman to answer your questions
is Dr. Bill Elwood, Health Science Administrator
at OBSSR.
Before we begin, here are a few
logistical announcements.
So, just advance to the next slide please.
Today's webinar is being recorded.
All phone lines will be muted during the webinar.
Questions and comments will not be taken via
phone but will be taken via the Q&A feature
located at the top right corner of your screen.
You can ask a question at any time.
To ask the question or send us a comment, click
on Q&A at the top right corner of your screen,
select "ask all panelists," type in your
question, and hit send.
We will try to answer as many questions as we can.
In the interest of time and to make sure we take
as many questions as time permits, we will take a
single question at a time from any one participant.
Now to introduce today's speaker, Sara Moorman, PhD
is an associate professor of sociology at Boston
College where she holds a joint appointment with
the Institute on Aging.
She has been at Boston College since 2009 when
she completed her PhD in sociology at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison.
She is a fellow and a member of the editorial
board of the Journal of Research on Aging.
Moorman's other major line of research investigates
decision-making at the end of life with attention
to family relationship quality.
She is currently beginning new research on mild
cognitive impairment as a function of
risk originating in adolescence.
I am now turning the webinar over to
Dr. Moorman who will now begin her presentation.
>> Sara Moorman: Thank you.
So, as Erica said, my presentation title is
Residential Age Stratification: Effects on
Older Adults' Well-Being and sociologists, as I am
one of, typically study disparity or inequality by
factors such as race, class, and gender, which
are sort of our holy triumvirate.
And in this project, I'm looking at
health disparity by age.
Age is the lesser-addressed category
relative to gender because selecting people whose
through age categories overtime or as their
socioeconomic mobility is less and gender,
racial mobility is very little at all.
And secondly because, although always keeping
vulnerable, most people prefer being in the
vulnerable position to being in the
dead condition which is being raw.
So, fewer people look at age as a social
stratifier in society.
Now when I say age segregation, I'm here
talking about segregation strictly in sense of
isolation or separation without necessarily buying
any kind of connotation to it positive or negative yet.
We'll get there later.
So, scholars such as Hagestad and Uhlenberg
talked about three different types
of age segregation.
One is institutional where age is a criterion
for admittance.
Some things like your birth date has to fall on
a certain time in order for you to
begin kindergarten.
And your birthday has to fall at a certain time in
order for you to be eligible for
social security benefits and so on.
Cultural age segregation is the extent to which age
is a marker of lifestyle.
So, if you think about the last album you bought and
compare it across people of different ages,
probably find differences there.
And the third way, and the one that I'll be talking
about the most today is spacial age segregation,
where age is a determinant of where people spend
time, where they have their physical location.
So, going back to the album example, or you
think about going to concerts by those artists,
those are age segregated spaces.
Or if you were to think about the institutions
such as kindergarten which are also age
segregated spaces.
Another example I like to give my students
is a grocery store.
Everybody goes to the grocery store, right?
But people go to the grocery store at different
times of the day and different times of the
week depending on age.
So, I have to think about going to the grocery
store at 9:00 a.m.
on a Friday versus who's at the grocery store at
5 o'clock on Friday.
So, theoretically, we affect age integration,
that is the opposite of the segregation that I was
just describing, to be good for the
health of older adults.
Because we expect that that age integration will
sort out social isolation.
That age integration will allow over develops to
talk with technology via change in culture and so on.
They also expect age integration, theoretically
speaking, to be good for the health of children
because more interaction with older people, adults,
and older adults meaning more mentors, more
teachers, more contact, more support.
And therefore, the theorists who talk about
age integration who include Matilda White
Riley, sort of came to conclude that age
integration should be theoretically good for
just about everybody.
However, empirically, there's a big black box.
Although a variety of series to talk about the
health benefits in age integrations, inherently,
it's been very little tested.
There are some European data on social networks.
So, taking a social roster and saying, okay, who are
the people who are most important to you, whose
closest to you, meaning that the most contact with
and then asking the ages of those people.
And in European data, we found that networks are
highly age segregated with family ties being
almost the only inter-generational ties
that people have.
So, if for example you're a 75-year-old woman and
you list an important social contact who's under
the age of 35, that person's probably
a family member.
We don't, or at least didn't when I started this
project, have this kind of data in the end stage.
That's how the [unintelligible] of the
first few ways of the National Health and Aging
trends study, we do have one study that has social
networks data with ages.
When I started this project, we didn't.
What we had was administrative data
on spatial age segregation.
Specifically, we have this census.
And the most recent census is the 2010 census which
covered every American household with the
10-question form that included their age and
then aggregated that information
to various different geographical contexts.
Where the ones with neighborhood researchers
knew tended to be the census tract, which is a
subdivision of a county, they're always nested
within counties and the tracts are designed to be
relatively homogeneous with respect to
demographics, economics, living conditions.
And they're all supposed to be approximately
4,000 residents.
Which means that census tracts are physically
bigger in less populous parts of the country, like
plains area, Great Plains area, and they're
smaller in cities.
So, for example, this is the census tract
we're in talks to and from right now.
And in context of this particular census track
right now is that it's very walkable to go from
east to west and it's just a half hour walk.
And it has boundaries that people recognize widely
as being neighborhood boundaries.
So, to the north, Commonwealth Avenue, to
the south, the D line
is the green line, [unintelligible].
So, it's a pretty well-defined
neighborhood space.
It does have a census tract and weaknesses
are shown in this.
To give you an example, one of it bisects campus,
so actually, I said it I'm in the center of tract,
but I'm actually a little bit to the left of that
far line because the Boston Newton T line is
part of that campus and as that tract rests within
larger units, like we've said before.
Another thing, this particular census tract is
not so socioeconomically homogenous.
Up on campus, we've got some college students
living in the dorms.
Over here by the reservoir, Big Poppy has a
condo and I've seen pictures of it and it's
not much like a dorm.
So, what will be done for census tract and other
census unit analysis from prior research, shows that
each segregation is comparable and spoke to
the neighborhood integration of Hispanic
persons in the United States.
This is where probably Michelle McLaren [phonetic
sp] and some of her colleagues and she found
that at the county level 43 percent of people who
need to move, to change neighborhoods, in order
to evenly distribute people by age.
So, what I did in this project was I started out
with the age distribution of the United States.
So, for instance in the US as a whole, 18.5 percent
of people are aged sixty or older.
And so, this is also true for, you know, the
percentages of people in different age groups
typically 18 to 24, 24 to 34, so on.
And so, we looked at the distribution by age group
and said, okay, there will be the standards in which
we're going to call these neighborhoods
representatives and non-representatives.
And I'll show you some slides later in which I
picked plus minus one or two percent and for most
of this research I picked plus or minus five percent.
So, I'm saying that a neighborhood is
representative of ages of people 60 and older is,
within that census tract, between 13.5 percent to
23.5 percent of people, residents, are older adults.
So, let's look at this next slide.
Categorized two different types of neighborhoods.
One of these neighborhoods that are age
representative where it has between 13.5 and 23.5
percent of older adults plus representation within
plus or minus 5 percent of younger adults, and what
my students and I have been calling family.
Which is adults aged 30 to 49 and to deal with little
children aged 18 and under
especially created this typology.
Where about a sort of people live in age
representative census tracts, there is a
chunk of people that live in that tract that
over-represent families which is that 18.8 percent
are the neighborhoods that have more than you would
expect, more than 5 percent above the national
distribution of persons aged 30 to 45
and their children.
Then there's a chunk of neighborhoods
that over-represent young adults.
Those are adults aged 18-24.
And there's a good chunk, almost a quarter of
neighborhoods that will represent older adults,
people aged 60 plus.
And then there's about 10 percent of neighborhoods
that can't quite be evenly categorized.
They are normally distributed.
They're not evenly distributed but they're
also not quite easily identifiable either.
So, let me show you a couple of maps, and keep
in mind that these maps are definitely not to scale.
I showed you how off the census tracts were.
So, these maps -- these dots are many, many times
too big, but they can give you a kind of a sense of
the distribution of neighborhoods across
the United States.
So, you will see a very small number of
red dots in the US.
There's only 88 of them.
And those are dots that are within plus/minus 1
percent of the long 48 states of age distribution
or all the different age groups.
So, these are
highly under-represented neighborhoods.
And they don't have much of a spatial pattern.
However, if you look at the blue dots which are
neighborhoods within plus or minus 2 percent of the
lower 48 state age distribution for all the
age groups, you see some more clustering.
So, midwest, south-east, north-east,
California, west coast.
But fewer dots within the middle of the country.
This is another map of extremely age segregated
tracts where the red dots are neighborhoods that are
75 percent or more people aged 18 to 24.
So, those are pretty classic college
neighborhoods and you can see the constant on there,
College of Virginia, and Ann Arbor, Michigan and so on.
The blue dots are neighborhoods that are 75
percent or more family.
Again, those were adults aged 30 to 45 and their kids.
And so, you see those on the cluster in Texas,
there's one in Utah, so on.
And finding the green dots are our census tracts that
are 75 percent or more for persons aged 60 and older
and you see that those are distributed across
the sunbelt.
So, California, Arizona, Texas, and
particularly Florida.
So, that was our first step was to describe the
US in terms of age distribution and
spatial segregation.
But it's really only interesting insofar as the
distribution means something for
people's well-being.
So, let's move on to the second question of does
neighborhood age segregation matter for
health and well-being?
And here we have to change in literature
approaches of what could [unintelligible].
So, my hypothesis here, going into the project, is
the neighborhood age segregation would in fact
contribute to the health and well-being of
residents of all ages.
And why?
Because how does [unintelligible], Wiley,
and other theorists have said is that each
segregation changes the nature of social
interactions people have with the person around them.
Whether that is in the grocery store or the
neighborhood or at a concert or where have you.
And I don't want to point out that this hypothesis
doesn't specify direction and I don't think that
exactly the direction it should take is obvious.
The theorists say that age segregation should be bad
and age integration should be good for health
and well-being.
But, we also know things like retired communities
are extremely popular.
So, a couple [unintelligible]: number
one, when I showed you the extremely age segregated
tracts and how those tracts are 75 percent more
older people, those are places where people retire
there have more time.
So, to defend that people do choose age integration
I think it's an open question for age
segregation are.
I mean it's an open question whether
segregation integration be good or bad.
Which I think the thing that's interesting about
this research questions insofar as a lot of
the research is pretty directional.
If you're studying socioeconomic status, if
you're studying social disorders, you have a
pretty good idea that social disorders' going to
be bad, perhaps, and other kinds of outcomes.
So, this question is interesting to me because
it could very well [unintelligible].
We mentioned a little about how neighborhood
as a social context.
We know that older adults spend three quarters
of the day within their neighborhoods.
Now some of that may be in their houses or sleeping
and not interacting with neighbors.
But, we also know that older adults have the
highest levels of socialization with
neighbors and involvement in community activities.
So, older people are heavily -- should be
heavily influenced by what social interaction
they have in their neighborhoods.
And my research team and I got to think about what
kind of interaction could possibly happen.
One kind is that it could be negative interactions.
You could have what we call "daily
discrimination," or some people would
call it microaggressions.
But kind of low-level.
The question deals with things like how often
you're treated with less respect than other people,
and how often do people act as if you're not smart.
So, we're not talking about physical aggression,
we're not talking about high levels of
discrimination, such as being fired from a job.
But we're talking about sort of everyday irritants
that make you feel less about yourself.
So, that could be one possibility.
Another possibility is opportunity for
generativity which is a concept we talk a lot
about in gerontology where older adults have the
opportunity to teach, mentor, guide younger persons.
And here we're talking about younger persons of
all types, children for sure.
But people in other generations,
generally speaking.
And finally, another possible outcome of
interaction could be social integration to the
extent to which neighbors trust each other, feel
safe in the neighborhood, and feel like it's a
community and so on.
So, we said okay those are the three possible things
that could happen.
And we did accordingly two studies.
In the first time, we looked specifically at
daily age discrimination.
And I said that census doesn't measure health.
So, what we did here was we geo-matched census data
on age distribution and took a couple of other
measures such as racial and ethnic distribution
and socioeconomic distribution.
And that's that data to representative survey data
from the national survey of mid-life development in
the United States.
Specifically, we used wave two which was 2004 to 2006.
And in that study for this particular analysis, we
took the participants or residents in age of 60 or
older, of which there are a little over 1,500 of
them and they were living in a little bit under
1,500 census tracts.
So, it was a small amount of nesting there.
Our outcome was daily discrimination, so those
questions I read to you or plus others about
respect and so on.
And these are people who said that at least among
the reasons that this happened to them
was their age.
And finally, our key independent measure was
the percentage of tract residents who were
aged 60 or older.
Now in the next stage, I will be using the typical
topology that I showed you earlier.
But here we're using percentages census tract
in linear fashion because I'm going off the group
density theory which is a theory borrowed from the
race/ethnic literature.
The premise here is that despite the concentration
of the disadvantages of the status, such as
material hardship and isolation that are created
by residential segregation.
Also, the case that on those single residents
such as people of similar age could also entail
certain advantages.
So, for example older persons who live among
other older person should be protected for
exposure against age discrimination.
Because older people clearly aren't going to
discriminate against each other.
Whereas those being surrounded by younger
people might open older people up to possibility
of age discrimination.
We should mention that in this talk I'm going to
skip over many of my logical details such as
what controls I used and what modeling strategies
that I used here, but I'd be happy to take
questions about that.
So, these are our results from the first study which
did in fact show support for the density theory
particularly among people in their sixties.
So, you see that among people aged 60 and older
lived among a low proportion of older adults
where a low proportion of older adults is two points
below the median, have a 50 percent chance of
experiencing age discrimination at
the age of 60.
Whereas 60-year-olds who lived among the high
proportion of other older adults, and that's two
deviations above the mean, had only a 15 percent
chance of experiencing age discrimination.
And people who lived in an average type of
neighborhood had about a 30 percent chance.
And then you see that three lines converge, such
that by the time you're about 77 it doesn't matter
what your neighborhood context is at all.
You are equally likely, or rather unlikely, little
over 20 percent chance, of experiencing
age discrimination.
Now I'm not sure which one of the reasons it is, but
I have three possible reasons why this could be.
It could be that people perceived less age
discrimination as they get older.
So, we know that there's various causes of changes
such that older people turn into positivity-bias.
They pay more attention, they tend to be positive
or they tend to be less negative, which is
very good for emotional stability.
But it's maybe not so good for your reporting of
objectives in age discrimination.
Although it could be and this is the second
possibility that people really truly encounter
less age discrimination as they get older.
We know from the social activity theory and the
empirical work behind that that people trim their
social networks and get rid of irritating social ties.
So, it may be that people are able to protect
themselves from age discrimination
in various ways.
The third possibility that it could be
is selection effect.
It could be that the people who experience age
discrimination dropped out of my sample either
through death or refusal to participate
in the later stage.
So, that also is a possibility.
In the second study, we did a complicated path
model that includes the three possible types of
interactions I talked about before,
generativity, discrimination, and social
integration and mediating on the association between
neighborhood types and multiple outcomes.
So, here is where you take the advice that is
representative of all age groups, over-represents
older adults, over-represents young adults.
There's a category of few young adults.
There's a category of simply other and these are
all with reference to neighborhoods that
over-represent families, again the adults who are
30 to 49 and their children.
And here again, I do match the census data
to confirm bias.
But here I use the entire breadth of ages in the
sample which is 30 to 84 age group.
And so, there's 4,000 participants in the study
who are within about 3,700 census tracts.
I told you about new typology as far as the
dependent measures, we used the 43 item Ryff
scale, psychological well-being which includes
dimensions such as self-acceptance, autonomy,
personal growth, and personal control.
And I use the same standards so we can
measure self-reported health skills such as
excellent, very good, good, poor, very poor.
So, we're measuring the mediators such as
the generativity scale six items.
The nine-item daily discrimination which I
believe wanted that.
And the three items scale of social integration all
of which have had which lie upon reliability.
In terms of self-reported health, there are
three significant indirect effects.
So, first by neighborhoods where people could
experience generativity and places where
people could experience generativity in terms of
spaces where people had better self-reported health.
And I should note here that this is people of all
ages in that 30 to 84 range.
So, we're not strictly talking about generativity
among older adults only and this effect is either
limited to older adults.
And the second survey indirect effects were of
that relative to family neighborhood,
representative neighborhoods and
neighborhoods that over-represented older
people, the neighborhoods who had the highest levels
of social integration and social integration was in
turn associated with better self-reported health.
And I think this one is interesting because on the
simple principle of age segregation, within the
neighborhoods that over-represented older
adults compared to the neighborhoods who tested
lower self-reported health just because we have an
accumulation of people in poor health.
So, the fact that the image is associated in
actively the other direction is -- I think
it's really interesting.
So, here are the results with regard to
psychological well-being.
First, relative to neighborhoods that
over-represent families age representation in
places where people had experienced more
generativity and prospects of psychological
well-being and again in representative
neighborhoods and neighborhoods that
over-represented older adults, there are higher
levels of social integration and higher for
psychological well-being.
So, for this study if you look at that age structure
of the neighborhood is related two types of
social interaction people have with their neighbors.
Particularly in terms of generativity and social
interaction or social integration, sorry.
And these day-to-day interactions in the
neighborhood are in turn associated with
health and well-being.
There's a few limitations I should mention here, one
I introduced earlier for which in the extent to
which neighborhoods -- well, the extent of which
census tracks are not a good representation of
experiencing neighborhoods.
Second point is that the MIDUS data were collected
on averages in 2005, they were collected between
2004 and 2006, where the national census
data from 2010.
So, in parts of the country where population
change is rapid, the census figures might not
match up very well with the minus responses.
A certain area that cross-section data limits
casual claims and of course limits the extent
to which I can talk about things like moving.
That is why when people choose a retirement
community, would it be actively to get away from
age discrimination or some sort of interaction like
that, I cannot tell.
And honestly, they have relatively limited
nesting of individuals within tracts.
So, there's little leverage on the
neighborhood context whereas a study of a
few cities might tell you more.
In terms of implications, we have some for theory
practice and policy.
In terms of theory, I think, there is an open
question about whether, in some contexts, spatial age
segregation is good for people's health
and well-being.
So, in the age density paper, I found that people
were less likely experience age
discrimination in nested districts.
I also found that in highly age dense
neighborhoods, people have more social integration,
as well as examining the neighborhoods.
So, I think it's an open question and that there
might be cases in which age segregation is
valuable and important for people.
I think that conclusion of practice has to do with
whether interventions can alter the types of
inter-generational interactions people have
in age segregated neighborhoods.
So, we know again from [unintelligible]
literature that when people from diverse racial
and ethnic groups are brought together to
collaborate on a project in which they have shared
interests and they can both bring things to the
table and interact on an even playing field, that
interactions of that type, or interaction
that decrease stereotypes and racism.
And so presumably, inter-generational
interactions model the same sorts of principles
that is the shared interest in activity on
both tables bring things to the table and so on,
would permit age barriers to break down.
And given the interests of the community has in
pairing retirement centers with kindergartens and
schools and childcare centers and any kind of
interaction like that, I think that has
implications from the way those programs are
designed and administered.
And finally, policy, I think there's an open
question about whether public health policy
should work to promote aging in place which is
staying in the neighborhood in which
you've lived your adult life and in the community.
Or aging within non-retirement communities
that have, you know, physical safety features,
universal design, and so on.
I think that many communities see older
adults as a liability insurance in terms of too
many safety things like sidewalks, curbs,
shoveling snow, and also in terms of healthy
sources that older people frequently need versus
seeing older adults are a resource, where here I've
shown that how much younger adults actively
increases social integration and neighborhoods.
So, I think the neighborhood communities
can think about -- can move away from thinking
about the deficit perspective on
older adult residents.
So, those were my research publications and I am
very happy to answer your questions.
>> Erica Moore: Thank you, Dr. Moorman for such an
informative presentation.
Let's begin the Q&A.
And do you want to -- go, yep, thank you.
Next slide.
>> Bill Elwood: Perfect.
Thanks so much, Sara.
Regarding the participants, do feel free
to type your questions into the chat box.
While those are coming in, I'm wondering, in regards
to your recommendations, what do you -- what
examples do you know about that are -- that attempt
to cross that -- to bring together generations.
Particularly when there are so many housing
complexes and developments that are targeted for --
that that target is specifically for seniors.
>> Sara Moorman: So, this is [unintelligible].
I don't -- I'm not involved with her work itself.
But I know that I have read and seen on YouTube
where she's just running courses and things like
that and programs that bring older adults and
say, preschoolers together to do an art project
or a sing-along, things like that.
And the thing that concerns me about programs
like that is that the kids tend to be a lot more
active than the older adults.
And also, that they're not working together
on a shared goal.
And so, while I think it could mean that the kids
are entertaining for the older adults, I'm not
necessarily sure it does much towards breaking down
age stereotypes or, you know, building
relationships between the kids and the older adults.
>> Bill Elwood: Okay.
Does anyone at your -- at the BC Institute
focus on that?
>> Sara Moorman: Well, let's see.
Not that I'm aware of.
We have in the Boston area [unintelligible] Grant and
some of those projects, the interventions we
talked about, inter-generational exchange.
But like I said, I'm not aware of or active in any
of those groups.
>> Bill Elwood: That's just fine.
Could you talk about how your interest in
adolescence, how Erica mentioned your new
research on mild cognitive impairment relating to
risks originating in adolescence.
Can you talk about how your work has pointed you
in that direction, you know, as an ESI and
I'm an old ESI.
And many of us have had different career
trajectories and as someone who's had success
in this particular area that you're growing into
another, I think that would be a really great
teachable moment to some of the people on this call.
>> Sara Moorman: Well, let's see.
I think how adolescence is of interest to me in terms
of thinking about cognitive outcome is
because of a couple of factors.
One is that we know that there's a large amount of
neurological development happening in adolescence.
So, in search of respecters that could
hinder that growth would be things that have
long-term effects.
The other thing that adolescence is from life
perspective towards the beginning of the
accumulation of the biggest disadvantages.
So, if you think about children or adolescents,
school quality, their family socioeconomic
resources, that nature is sort of the building block
for what those aspects might be like what sorts
of health behaviors they engage in and so on later
in life which might indirectly affect their
cognitive health later on.
So, I'm interested in adolescence kind of in a
mediation versus direct effects kind of way, in
terms of it being the beginning looking at
cognitive health.
>> Bill Elwood: Excellent.
We've got a couple of questions in and I guess
I'll go with, since we're talking about health, what
statistical relationships do you see between
self-rated physical health and
psychological well-being?
>> Sara Moorman: They're positive in model.
I want to say that the correlation was
something like 1.4.
Generally, if you're in their self-reported health
series that are in better psychological
well-being as well.
But it's far from the one to one correlation.
>> Bill Elwood: And excellent.
Another question is -- well, first thanks
for the great talk.
How do you feel these findings might integrate
into public policy that supports the creating of
NORC's and providing support services for NORC's?
>> Sara Moorman: I think that the research
implies two things.
One is that there's definitely context in
which age integration is good.
And in fact, age integration might be
better than people initially thought because,
like I said, I think they're coming from a
different perspective and assuming they're having
older adults in those communities at all.
We can grab -- we're going to have greater needs for
service agencies and so on.
I think also the goal here is the fact that today
behind over-represented at older adults were
socially strong in place.
So, I mean, I'm a gerontologist.
I tend towards the NORC approach anyway.
But it certainly is the case with lots of older
adults are looking for age restricted
retirement communities.
So, I think that there needs to be a balance
between those two things and just recognition of
the very special strengths and weaknesses of those
two different options.
>> Bill Elwood: Great.
Here's another question that starts with an opinion.
As an opinion, I feel that populations are better
served by retaining full integration
in communities.
As a sociologist/gerontologist,
does this ring true for you?
>> Sara Moorman: Yeah, I mean, that's the
way I'm inclined also.
I have always appreciated having older adults around
me and one of the things I miss working on college
campuses that I never see kids younger than 18.
So, my inclination, yes, is also to face an
integration is good.
But different strokes for different folks.
I think it is also important to consider
context in which integration might be
beneficial or ways in which there's barriers
such as age discrimination that could be broken down
such that an integrated community is even better.
>> Bill Elwood: Okay, great.
This is a compound question: I'll read the
whole thing and you can decide how to unpack it.
Have you seen evidence that age discrimination
directly results in health risks?
>> Sara Moorman: I think evidence of age
discrimination, yes.
Age discrimination, like other kinds of
discrimination, is clearly associated with
psycho-social stress.
It's clearly associated with limitations and
resources and opportunities that are
available to people in order to promote their
health, to protect their health.
And it's clearly associated with various
physiological indicators of well-being such as
information, on fight or flight response, on
hormones, things of that nature.
So, yes.
>> Bill Elwood: Okay.
Could you speak to -- the second part -- could you
speak to the life-course aspects of age discrimination.
This participant said, certainly the
institutional of housing for the aged both in
retirement communities and skilled care
has contributed.
But, I think the main -- the major point here
unpacking this without context is life-course
aspects of age discrimination.
>> Sara Moorman: Okay, I'm going to take a direction
with that.
It may not be what the caller asked about.
So, if --they can ask again.
But different ages of people get -- a
life-course history of age discrimination is
complicated because different age groups are
disrespected and discriminated against
for different reasons.
So, younger people also experience age
discrimination on the stereotypical assumptions
that they're reckless, or uninformed, or unconcerned.
Older people experience age discrimination on the
assumption that they're impaired, incapable,
and things like that.
So, it started that age discrimination isn't just
restricted to -- it doesn't switch on when you
turn 60 and go from there.
It's something that affects people at various
stages of their life course and is strongly
intersectional with other kinds of discrimination
like racial discrimination and sex discrimination.
>> Bill Elwood: Great.
Do you think the benefits of having the elders as
part of the policy mechanism helps to ensure
full representative inclusion concerning
safety, zoning, health policy, you know, you
mentioned universal design, in the
larger community?
>> Sara Moorman: Yeah, I think it definitely does.
Certainly, even if these policies are put in places
all throughout their lives, it is the case that
things like that graded curb crossings are useful
for people with suitcases, they're useful for people
pushing baby carriages, they're useful for
people in wheelchairs.
So not having to step down there, for example, is a
small thing but it affects the well-being of a
large number of people.
>> Bill Elwood: Based on your -- I'm going to
follow up with this personally, do you see in
the data you've played with, did you see examples
of senior, I don't want to say activism, but senior
involvement in the policy process leading to change
or any associations of civic engagement with
health and well-being?
>> Sara Moorman: That's really good for the direction.
>> Bill Elwood: Okay.
>> Sara Moorman: To my knowledge, he might not
have any questions on that but when I was talking
before about the NHAT, the national health and aging
trends study that does have social network
rosters through the ages of everyone.
That survey does that ask nicely about community
participation and various kinds of physical
adaptations in the neighborhood and so on.
So, I can definitely feel the directions it would go.
>> Bill Elwood: Great.
Is there anything that you think I've missed?
I don't have any additional questions
coming in which is surprising, given we have
the scope of professional associations, of people
involved in community care, Volunteers of
America, Lubbock Senior Center, and people from a
variety of college campuses.
Is there anything else you'd like to speak to
before we wrap things up?
>> Sara Moorman: I don't think so.
>> Bill Elwood: Okay.
I think everyone can see why Sara is from our first
round of Matilda White Riley early stage
investigator scholars.
I want to thank you for the work you put into
creating and then presenting today.
I'd like to thank all of you for your
active participation.
We are, as Erica Moore told you at the beginning
of this session, we are recording this.
So, once we convert the file and provide closed
captions, we will make it available on our
YouTube channel.
Do stay tuned to your professional journals for
Sara Moorman's new work, both coming out and in her
new research interests.
And I'll let you all get back to your day.
Thank you so much again, Professor Moorman,
and thank you all.
>> Sara Moorman: Thanks very much, Bill.
>> Bill Elwood: All right.
Good bye.

What Is The Origin Of Foo And Bar - Duration: 1:25.
Much like the "Hello World", words "foo" and "bar" are used in computer programming
examples.
They are metasyntacic variables, or simply put, placeholders used for entities such as
variables and functions, where the actual values or names represented by them are not
important.
So what is their origin?
The word "foo" comes from 1930's comic strip Smokey Stover by Bill Hollman, who claimed
to have found word "foo" on the bottom of a Chinese figurine in Chinatown, San Francisco,
meaning "good luck".
Pairing "foo" with "bar" is most probably derived from military slang acronym FUBAR,
which represents the phrase "Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition" and gained popularity during
World War II.
The use of "foo" in a programming context is generally credited to the Tech Model Railroad
Club of MIT from circa 1960.
One of the first examples would be from MIT's Project MAC in January 1964, LISP Exercises
by Timothy P. Hart and Michael Levin.

Guitar Progress Series - Episode 0 - Duration: 1:34.
Hey guys, this is Nozomine.
In this video I'm gonna start a series where I challenge myself to make videos of my guitar
progress every month.
As a guitarist I often ask myself questions like "Why don't I progress?" or "Why do I
progress slowly?"
And I'm sure a lot of you guys ask yourself the same question.
So I decided to start this series so that I can really track my progress and proof to
myself that I DO become better.
I'm gonna challenge myself to learn new riffs and solos every month and to make videos of
them.
Since I'm not really a great player, I won't be able to play all the stuff perfectly.
And if I can't play something perfectly, I will play the same thing again in several
months or so.
I hope that seeing how I progress will motivate you to play more and become better.
I'm gonna release the first video of the series one day after this video, so if you don't
wanna miss anything, please subscribe.
And if you have any questions or you wanna start a challenge like this yourself, or maybe
you just wanna tell your guitar story, then please write it down in the comments below.
Bye!
