Waching daily Dec 26 2017

Día de los Muertos, or The Day of the Dead is a holiday typical of Mexican culture.

It distinguishes itself from other Christian holidays by its festive character and the realization of private altars dedicated to the dead.

Hey, by the way, we left Gatineau and crossed Canada, went down the USA West Coast...

... and now we are at the end of the Baja California Peninsula, in La Paz, Mexico.

Today is the Day of the Dead.

Apparently there's an amazing show tonight.

Honestly, I'm so excited.

Follow us!

Tradition tells that the soul of the deceased returns to earth on the Day of the Dead.

To welcome them, families set up commemorative altars in their honor.

Various offerings are placed on the altar. The most commonly used are:

A portrait of the deceased, placed at the highest part.

Personal belongings of the deceased to please them and remind them that we always remember what they loved.

Sugar skulls, lit candles and a crucifix.

Mexican marigold, or "cempasuchil", to guide the soul of the deceased.

This flower is a symbol of the sunlight, considered as the origin of all things.

Incense and copal symbolizing the passage from life to death.

And food, which may be "bread of the dead", sweet skulls, candied squash and sometimes drinks enjoyed by the deceased.

Folkloric Mexican ballet

The Catrina is a popular figure of Mexican culture, created by the Mexican caricaturist Jose Guadalupe Posada.

This skeleton is inspired by both medieval European macabre art and prehispanic indigenous traditions.

Particularly the cult of the Aztec goddess of death...

Wait wait...

We're walking around the festival, it's really cool.

We were really not sold the idea of the Day of the Dead here in La Paz.

Apparently, it's one of the least traditional places in Mexico.

And I mean...

If this is supposed to be a disappointment, I am really surprised.

Because it was still highly traditional, with lots of music...

There's lots of tamales, copal incense...

Lots of people dressed up, there's a contest...

It's so interesting honestly.

There's theater, dance...

I think later there's a band that's going to perform.

Hillary Clinton says Donald Trump is 'obsessed' with her - Duration: 2:28.

Hilary Clinton says Donald Trump is obsessed with her Hillary Clinton has accused her former campaign rival

president Donald Trump of being obsessed with her public remarks

Apparently you know my former opponent is obsessed with my speaking out miss Clinton said at a farm in Arkansas

Noting that the president had tweeted about her again that day. Honestly between tweeting and golfing how does he get anything done?

She asked I don t understand it

Maybe that s the whole point miss Clinton appeared on stage with her husband Bill at an event commemorating

the 25th anniversary of his election

Earlier that day mr.. Trump had posted a tweet calling miss Clinton the worst and biggest loser of all time

She just can t stop

Which is so good for the Republican Party the president wrote Hillary get on with your life and give it another try in three years

Mr.. Trump has tweeted about his former opponent more than 50 times since the election he recently suggested appointing a special prosecutor

To investigate her role in the 2010 sale of the uranium company to a Russian agency miss Clinton

However vowed not to let the criticism affect her telling the audience

I am gonna keep speaking out true to her word the former Secretary of State spent much of her Saturday appearance criticizing the current

Administration at one point she took aim at presidential adviser Kellyanne

Conway s infamous claim that the White House was providing alternative facts

There is no such thing as an alternative fact miss Clinton said it does not exist in politics or in nature

And it was astonishing to me the things people believed about me in this campaign. She also contrasted mr.

Trump s foreign policy approach to her husband s saying mr.. Clinton didn t tweet about it

He got to work about it Twitter was invented in

2006 while other former first families such as the Obamas who have been muted in their criticism of the current administration

MS. Clinton has not been shy about hers in an interview published Friday. She said that if mr.

Trump followed through on his threats to investigate her it would be a signal that we were going to be like some dictatorship some

authoritarian regime

Opponents are going to be unfairly

Fraudulently investigated it will also send a terrible signal to our country in the world that somehow

We are giving up on the kind of values. We used to live by and that we used to promote worldwide. She told Mother Jones

What is the Kibir La Amlak Live Show? - Duration: 3:19.

What is the Kibir La Amlak Live Show?

I don't really like 'show'

just 'show' - it's more than a show

it's a sharing you know, it's an experience, it's a journey

its everything from the sound system

and everything from the studio

So I've worked really hard

to get the essence of all of that inside here

There's different feelings, different energies

there's a triumphant energy

there's a meditation energy

there's a celebratory energy

Its my entire discography

put into here in a way that I can kind of play

using the mixing desk as an instrument,

that kind of rare phenomena that only really happens in Reggae music.

this is the track; flat.

If I press play like this with everything pushed up

this is a track flat

how it would sound on the record (if it's been released)

but then I can just....

completely change spontaneously and mix it and highlight the different elements

all the effects, from the sound system

and the bass

kick drum, kind of warrior energy

riddim section

sometimes it manifests that I do this with an artist or a singer

sometimes it manifests that I do it with musicians

nuff time it's me on my own

This is the Kibir La Amlak Live Dub Experience

Kibir La Amlak is an Ethiopian, Amharic term which means 'Glory to the Most High'

so when this music and the people come together and we go on this journey and we resonate

that to me is Kibir La Amlak

that to me is giving Glory to the Most High

its not a fall down on your knees and worship a sky god experience

it's a come together and celebrate life

That's why Trump cuts funds at the UN. It is tension with Europe - Duration: 5:50.

That's why Trump cuts funds at the UN. It is tension with Europe

The decision was in the air.

But the cut in US funding for the United Nations risks exacerbating the already idyllic relations between Washington and the European countries.

The administration of President Donald Trump has indeed begun to negotiate a cut of 285 million dollars for 2018.

The plan was announced immediately after the member countries had reached an agreement, Sunday, on the budget 2017-2018, equal to 5 , 4 billion dollars.

The American cut would be a blow to UN finances in a period when the other member countries do not have easy resources to cover the possible loss of US funding.

One wonders: why right now? Read this decision as the White Houses first retaliation against the rejection by the UN General Assembly of the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (announced by Trump on December 6), and to subsequently move the American embassy from Tel Aviv , it is easy and apparently intuitive.

There were 128 countries, including Italy, along with all the most important countries of the European Union, to vote against the tear of Trump.

The US ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, promised that the US would remember who turned its back on it.

An appeal, however, that so far has not found many supporters.

For now only Guatemala has followed the White House, announcing at Christmas, through President Jimmy Morales, President Jimmy, the intention to transfer his embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

However, Guatemalas move may not remain an isolated case.

According to the Israeli media, in fact, soon will be followed by the announcement of Honduras, while there will be a dozen countries that are considering the possibility of aligning themselves with the choice of Washington on the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (including Romania and Slovenia).

The decision to cut a part (and not all) of funding to the UN is not only linked to the crisis on Jerusalem.

Trump has never really liked - and has reiterated it many times - the cumbersome presence of the United Nations, which in many cases conflicts with its geopolitical strategies.

On one occasion the American president even described this great organization of states, created after the Second World War, a sad club that has wasted its potential.

But the battle waged by the United States against the UN is a battle also against the waste and inefficiencies that have long afflicted the United Nations, and are also partly recognized by its leaders and by many Member States.

The inefficiency and easy spending of the UN are well known, said US Ambassador Nikky Haley and we will no longer allow the generosity of the American people to be exploited.

The financing of the UN, as foreseen in an article of its Charter, is above all linked to the greatness of the economies of its member states.

The United States would be responsible for 22% of the UNs operating budget.

This is by far the biggest contribution.

In numbers, Washington has paid out $ 1.2 billion out of 5.4 of the 2016-2017 budget.

But theres more.

The United States is also the biggest contributor, even more so (28.5% of the total), to the UN peacekeeping missions, operations whose budget, separated from the general one, should reach 6 in 2017-2018, 8 billion dollars.

It remains to be seen if Trumps plan will only stop at $ 285 million.

Or if, as he suggested (perhaps only to incite fear) the American administration, it is only the beginning of a larger plan.

In this case the problems for the UN would be really difficult to solve.

Why Is Jesus Different? - Duration: 3:26.

So my question here is, "Why is Jesus different from other religious leaders?"

And frankly, I thought the question was going to be, "How is Jesus different from

other religious leaders?" So let me deal with the first question first, and it's

very easy to answer. Why is He different? Because no other

religious leader did what was adequate to do to rescue men from their problem.

All other religious leaders, in one way or another, describe for you a rescue

plan that you can implement and rescue yourself before God. Do this, this, this,

this, this, whatever it happens to be. Do good, do these spiritual asanas, if you're

an eastern religion, do these behaviors, rescue yourself. In the Christian story

of reality, which is the true story of reality, God rescues man. Man does not

rescue himself. Why doesn't he rescue himself? Because he

cannot rescue himself. The problem – and you've got to get the problem right

to know what the right rescue is, right? Okay, and the problem is is that man has

rebelled against God, he is guilty of sedition against his Sovereign, and he

owes God. He must pay a debt just like anybody who commits a crime has to pay

their debt to society. We use the same language. So there's a debt that is owed.

How do we pay? Well, we pay by God casting us out from His presence for ever. Ruined

for relationship with Him forever. And when we were made to be with God in

friendship with Him, and we are cast away from His presence forever, we will be ruined

for our original purpose, and that will be Hell. Okay, so that's the problem. How

do we get rescued from that? We can't pay the debt. Someone else pays it. Who pays

it? The only one who can pay it. God pays the debt. He becomes a man Himself in the

person of Jesus of Nazareth, lives the life that we should have lived but

didn't, and then dies the death that we deserve, but He rescues us from. So why is

Jesus different? Because the other people could not do what needs to be done. How

is He different? He's the god-man. He's the only one who did what needs to be

done. The way I like to put it is the reason Jesus is the only way of

salvation is that He's the only one who solved the problem. That is why He is

different, and that is also how He is different.
