Waching daily May 18 2018

Hey friends. Joe here at Reverb.com and today I'd like to talk about why

Spaghetti Western music is so cool.

Spaghetti Western music was probably most popularized in 1964 with the first film

of the Dollars trilogy by Sergio Leone. The music was composed by Ennio

Morricone. 1964, A Fistful of Dollars. 1965, For a Few Dollars More in 1966, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

This music has spawned generations of influence and has

permeated popular music and film music and classical music of all kinds. Why is

it so cool? Let's talk a little bit about the guts, the language of this music.

Spaghetti Western Music: Why Is It So Cool?

First I'd like to talk about the birth of this genre. It's so

interesting to me that the popular type of film at the time was the American

Western film. And Hollywood American Western was a big-budget film. It had a

huge budget for music so there were these lush orchestral scores.

The Spaghetti Western was approached in an entirely different way. Small budget,

filmed in Italy or northern Spain, small budget for setting, small budget for

music. So this limited budget provided for replacing a big brass or viola section

with a gunshot,

whip,

or a whistle.

And, of course, an electric guitar

that was twangy and verbed out and awesome.

Part of the reason this music is so powerful is because it directly reflects the themes that are occurring

in these films. So what are the themes in these films? Oftentimes there's trouble.

There's inherent trouble, whether it's two gangs pitted against each other in a

town, or clearly a bad guy that's doing something sinister.

So these minor keys, these minor chords:

But then there's some other character that's offering hope -

But there's still an ominous nature behind the whole thing, there's something on the horizon.

Now, it's amazing how you can keep things in a minor key,

but then offer major tonalities like, for example, a flat 6 chord which in this

case is b-flat:

Now, just hitting a b-flat in the harmony beneath the melody offers so much

heroism and strong forward motion I would say.

And oftentimes, we get a four major chord which is stepping outside of the key,

technically, but for film music, that's what you should do.

Okay? It's almost like the spaces between these notes is all that, there's all this

mystery in this space. Not to mention, clearly the galloping

nature of all these rhythms.

Let's take the guitar riff from the second film,

"For a Few Dollars More".

It sounds like this, this riff is still ominous, it's kind of

dark, the sustain of that twang guitar and the reverb that surrounds it almost

carries us kind of into the sunset a little bit.

Really puts us in that place.

Now, same thing happens but a major chord instead of a minor chord:

So that's a bit more heroic, and a bit more like there might be a resolution to

this story type-of-thing.

Back to minor

The melody for the first film of the trilogy, "A Fistful of Dollars", you have

this wonderful passage that outlines a minor chord, okay?

It sounds very Western. Now you have basically the same rhythm and the same

actual idea applied to a different chord. This time it's a major chord:

And then ascending back to the minor chord so, this little glimpse of, this little

glimpse of hope, this little glimpse of a sunrise and then back to the sunset.

It's interesting to think about how Spaghetti Western music has influenced

other styles of music, and how maybe some music, specifically surf music maybe had

an influence on some Spaghetti Western music. So there are similar tones and

similar kind of like twanging guitar stuff going on like fifties Duane Eddy

and stuff and early 60s The Shadows, you know, that surf music. Spaghetti Western music

is somehow darker by using some of the same tones and even some of the same

techniques. And one key difference there is rhythm. Interesting to think about

surf music having you know that standard --

So as opposed to a gallop thing that

happened in Spaghetti Western. So if I take a Spaghetti Western riff and I

played it over a surf beat:

Okay? That sounds like it could have been a surf hit from 1960.

But put this behind it:

And immediately we have, you know, similar tone, same melody, similar technique, a

different rhythm making our heart kind of pound in a different way, and it has

such an effect on the psyche of the entire genre, and the whole color of the

thing. And then on top of that, really sending it home with the sound effect of

a whip, and a whistle, and a gunshot and there's nothing surf about any of that so that

is definitely putting you in the place of, you know, a Spaghetti Western film.

And then the influence obviously carries on, and we can hear a Spaghetti Western

color in records that The Sadies have been on, Chris Stapleton, Arctic Monkeys

you know Neko Case, Ryan Adams so that, this is a very distinct color that many

artists outside of any kind of film music or anything like that really

wanted to tap into as well.

Well that was a super-fun discussion on Spaghetti

Western music. If you want to talk about more stuff like this, other genres

dissecting film music, I really like talking about it, so let me know and we

can talk about more stuff. Thanks for watching, and see you next time.

Why Expensive Wine Is Actually Better Value Than A Cheap Bottle - Duration: 3:17.

- Hi, my name is Amelia Singer,

and I'm a wine expert, TV presenter on the Wine Show,

and I run my own wine-tasting

and consultancy business, Amelia's Wine.

You can still find bargains with wine in supermarkets,

however, the best bargains are always gonna be

from lesser-known regions and lesser-known grapes.

So instead of maybe going for that Sancerre,

which is Sauvignon Blanc grape from Loire valley,

go for that Touraine, which is actually two kilometers away

from Sancerre, made from Sauvignon Blanc,

but no one really knows what it is.

Or, go for something like the Malvasia grape,

which is awesome, if you really like Pinot Grigio,

or you like, kind of aromatic whites,

go for Malvasia, from Central Europe and Eastern Europe,

because no one really thinks about buying from there,

and yet they've got fantastic climate,

and it's normally pretty consistent.

And it's all a really good value,

because no one thinks of it.

In terms of getting value for money,

unfortunately, you get what you pay for,

which sounds really obvious, but there's a lot of things

which go into the price of a wine once it hits

the supermarket shelves.

So, what you have to think about is,

money will have been spent on logistics,

packaging, excise duty, and so therefore,

a £5.49 bottle of wine,

which is roughly the average price,

what the average person spends in a supermarket,

only 60p of that bottle will be spent on wine.

However, it's amazing how if you go up to

£10, already, you're gonna get

about £2.76 worth of wine.

That's actually money spent on the juice of that wine,

besides all the other stuff.

And then, if you go up to £20,

you'll spend about £7.40,

so even though you're going four times in value

of the five pounds, you're getting 19's worth

increase in terms of quality, which is quite interesting.

So, definitely that is useful to keep in mind.

I'd also say look for wine buyer's choice,

a bit like when you go to a bookstore,

and you go to Waterstones, and they have

their staff recommendations.

If you go into somewhere like a Waitrose, or wherever,

and they say buyer's choice, that will tend to be,

or have to be good quality,

because it's the buyer putting their name to it.

And it also is good if you want to try something

a bit different, because they're trying to guide people

to try either a new region or a new grape.

So therefore, you tend to be getting really good value

for money, and you can discover something really exciting.

Also, supermarkets' own, you can also find good value for.

There was a time when supermarkets would have multiple,

multiple amounts of these, but now,

the general trend is to have less of them,

but make them really good quality.

Because it's a bit like a house wine

when you go into a restaurant.

They, again, are putting their name to that house wine.

So they want it to be of a certain standard,

it definitely has to be well made,

even if it's not going to completely blow your mind.

Melania Just Fired Them ALL! 'That Is Not Acceptable Here - Duration: 15:45.

Melania Just Fired Them ALL!

'That Is Not Acceptable Here – I Won't Allow It!'

First lady Melania Trump just sent them packing!

She released multiple people from their positions as she would not allow taxpayers to be ripped

off for jobs that were simply not needed – quite contrary to the former first lady, Michelle

Obama.

While Melania Trump takes on bigger roles and a more active schedule, she has proven

herself to spend a lot less than what Obama did.

This news comes about as Melania Trump runs one of the lightest East Wings in recent history.

Michelle Obama was reported to have 16 people working under her, being paid a combined $1.24

million.

Melania Trump's staff is only four people who earn a combined $486,700, much less in

comparison to Obama.

Knowing that Melania Trump refuses to hire 12 extra people to do jobs that can be handled

by herself and four others is a wonderful bit of information as it reduces wasteful

spending of the taxpayer money.

Not carrying the extra staff for jobs that can be handled by fewer people is a step in

the right direction towards reducing the amount of money spent by the administration and shows

that Melania cares to be mindful in her position as the first lady.

That's an enjoyable quality for a first lady to have as it spreads a message about

being responsible and not overspending.

Fox News reported more on Melania's smaller staff: "The details are contained in an

annual report the White House sends to Congress showing the names, positions and salaries

of all its personnel.

Both the Obama and Trump administrations acknowledged several additional staffers beyond those listed

in the report with the term "first lady" in their titles.

But even counting all those employees — 24 for Michelle Obama and nine for the current

first lady — Melania Trump's office is relatively small.

It's an approach her spokeswoman says is intentional.

"As with all things that she does, she is being very deliberate in her hiring, focusing

on quality over quantity," communications director Stephanie Grisham said in an email.

"It is important to her that the team is a good fit for what she wants to accomplish

as first lady, and that everyone works well together.

She also wants to be mindful and responsible when it comes to taxpayer money."

While the 2009 annual report listed 16 staffers for Michelle Obama, her press secretary said

at the time the staff actually included 24 people.

A 2009 FactCheck.org story said Obama's 24 aides might have broken records.

"That may indeed be the largest of any first lady, but Hillary Clinton, with 19 staffers,

and Laura Bush with at least 18 and perhaps more, weren't far behind," FactCheck.org

said.

Grisham told Fox News this week there are nine people working in the East Wing under

Melania Trump, a few more than listed in the annual report.

According to those personnel reports, Melania Trump's staffers include a chief of staff,

a communications director, a deputy chief of staff and a deputy director of advance.

Michelle Obama's staff included those same positions and a slew of others: additional

press aides, a director of policy and projects, a personal aide, a traveling aide and a director

of correspondence.

Michelle Obama's office did not return a request for comment."

Melania and Donald Trump will surely be criticized for this one way or another.

The critics will say that Melania fired people instead of being resourceful and saving money

for the White House and their Presidency.

While every President and first lady face critics, there has surely been an insufferable

and increased amount of criticism has been levied towards the Trump family, with even

Barron facing his own fierce barrage of harsh commentary from spiteful people who dislike

the Trump family living in the White House.

Donald and Melania work through the criticism, doing things to make many Americans in hopes

that they're constantly doing right by the citizens.

They will always face criticism from those who oppose their leadership, even though Trump

won the Presidency in a fair election well over one year ago.

What do you think of Melania having a smaller staff?

Is she saving money for taxpayers?

Is it a smart move for her to be more resourceful in her spending?

Will Michelle Obama respond to Fox News to talk about why she had so many people working

under her?

Please share this on Facebook to spread the good news about Melania Trump and her resourceful

behavior.

The International Coin Spill - This Is How I Do It - Duration: 57:55.

I had to buy a new middle rod for the Deus, because the old one broke.

Hmm, it has too much play.

Let's see how it works...

I was on my way to a location...

...but I decided to start detecting now.

First target - let's see what this path has to offer.

Sounds bad.

A giant iron nut.

A piece of foil.

Foil again.

Must be on the shovel...

Foil...

And a tick.

My next find will be a small coin spill...

I will show you the process of finding it.

The path turned me already off.

To get to my location, I would have to follow it...

...but for some reason I'm getting more interested in this forest section.

This is how my coin spill compass works :).

At this point I have no clue why I feel the need to go up there.

Contact.

Sounds good.

A coin.

Not much to see...

GPS (POI) #1.

I have to know, what I'm dealing with.

I couldn't recognize anything.

*it was a British Queen Victoria Penny from 1861

Now I have to check, if there is more...

Tiny bits of iron.

Another similar signal only two coil sizes away.

The shovel is useless here.

Too many roots.

It takes long, but I don't want to rush anything and stab into a possible coin.

The shovel was at least able to cut the roots.

Excellent - without a single scratch.

It is another British Penny (1861).

#2

This is iron, but too close to the coins...

It could mask something else, or give me at least more clues.

As expected, a piece of iron.

Still something at the bottom of the hole.

Another piece of iron.

This is coke.

It's a coin.

"V Reis" - Portugal (1882).

Bronze.

This was the "coin path".

Two coins stuck together.

The small one, probably a German "10 Pfennig" (1940's).

The big coin: "10 Centimos" - Spain (1870).

I will set a reference point.

A straight line...

Wow.

Could be Japanese... maybe Chinese.

Awesome.

Let me clean it a little bit.

I think it's bronze.

Maybe this way ;).

It turned out to be a Chinese "1 Cash" (1821-1851).

Not far away...

"100 Reis" - Portugal (1900).

A small, international coin spill from 5 different countries.

Just iron.

Iron again.

But it would be wise to check...

A bend nail.

One more.

It's too small for a coin.

Hmm...

Time to get rid of the ticks.

I'm checking the lower diagonal section.

It looks like the spill is over.

A piece of metal with a thread.

A casing.

So much work for a tube.

Sorry, my camera lens touched a leave and collected dirt.

A lead toy soldier?

Interesting spot.

Cap from a bottle?

It's heavy and "silverish".

It says: "Gutenberg" with a bearded man in the middle.

#8 (why not).

A small "musket" ball.

Hmm, difficult to say.

Lead button or bullet.

Probably the latter.

This is a button.

The shank from this button.

It's hot, I'm exhausted.

Looks interesting, I will go up...

Iron, round, could be a bottle cap.

It's a rusty "10 Pfennig" coin (1948-2001).

I like this place...

A "huge" spider jumped on my hand.

It's round, which is good.

Could be part from a watch.

Hmm, I have no idea.

It's a rusty coin.

German "10 Pfennig" (1948-2001).

A shotgun cartridge.

Ticks.

The golden bullet.

Sounds good.

Whatever it is, it looks old.

Just a casing.

It's a buckle.

A rusty one.

Just a lead bullet.

I'm moving slowly towards "exit"...

It's a button.

This will be my last target.

Lead?

Now I really have to go.

You can wait for the pictures if you like.

He is pulling the strings.

German "10 Pfennig" (1966).

Another one (with iron core).

A button.

Old nails.

?

Lead.

It says: "Guten(Icon)Berg"

A lead button?

?

Hmm...

Iron buckle.

Lead soldier.

Here reading a book.

Coins that were stuck together.

Probably a German "10 Pfennig" (1940's).

And a Spanish "10 Centimos" (1870).

"V Reis" - Portugal (1882).

"100 Reis" - Portugal (1900).

British Penny - Queen Victoria (1861).

Another one, same date.

A Chinese "1 Cash" coin (1821-1851).

Trash...

...and treasure. Hunting time: 2h:36m

What is AARCC? - Duration: 3:10.

AARCC, or the Asian American Resource and Cultural Center, is a space where

students can come, hang out, chill, eat, talk, sleep, study,

and pretty much do anything that they want and express themselves in a safe space.

Along with AAMP, AARCC kind of help me figure out how to navigate scheduling classes,

finding like campus resources like the math learning center, I used a lot my freshmen year.

And [GLAS] introducing me to topics that aren't really taught in school,

kind of things focusing in on issues that I thought was only me and that only I had to deal with,

but actually a lot people have to deal with.

I feel like nothing else can cheer me up like going to AARCC cheers me up.

It's just, there's this atmosphere here, where it's lively, and it's a hopeful place.

AARCC has impacted me in so many ways.

Going into college was really difficult because its something new.

So going to AARCC helped me find a family and helped me adjust better and also

there's so many resources here, I get to talk to Jeff and Mark and everyone else.

And it's always nice to have a helping hand.

Coming in as a freshmen, AARCC helped me transition by

kind of giving me the people that I needed to surround myself with in order to

get me - like kind of on a college track and sort of transition from high school to college.

There were like resources I can go to for help and ask advice about classes.

I think my favorite thing about AARCC is that everybody here is family.

I mean, it was a whole 'nother thing to walk into AARCC for the first time and

you know, I'm a brand new transfer student, I've just finished applying for schools,

I've just gotten in. It's all still very bright, shiny, and new.

And to walk in, eyes wide, like a deer in the headlights and have somebody say

"Hey! Do you play dungeons and dragons?" and I was like "Yes!"

And they were like "That's a dungeons and dragons joke on your bag"

and I was like "Oh yeah, yeah it is"

And they were like "We've been looking for somebody to play with"

And instantly, this was a community that was like "Yeah, you're a nerd, we love that, we love that you got"

"these eccentricities, you got these things that make you different, and we're going to bring you in"

"and we're going to connect you to people who are the same way"

"and we're going to get you right into the community"

and those people who welcomed me when I literally taken five steps into this - into the room.

I didn't even swipe my card to sign in yet for the first time,

and they were already saying "We want you to be a part of this"

and I think that's something that makes AARCC extra special.

Turmeric is an ideal drug alternative for treating Type 2 diabetes – research journal - Duration: 5:10.

Turmeric is an ideal drug alternative for treating Type 2 diabetes � research journal

by: Isabelle Z.

If you�re diabetic, you�ve probably had it hammered into your head already that you

need to eat a low-glycemic diet and exercise regularly, but there is one very powerful

tool that can help you in this fight that doesn�t get nearly as much attention: turmeric.

This root, which comes from the same plant family as ginger, is actually one of the most

thoroughly researched anti-diabetic plants, and a new review in the International Journal

of Endocrinology and Metabolism adds to the growing body of evidence that its active polyphenol

curcumin can make a huge difference in managing and even preventing the illness.

The review looked at a variety of studies in cells, animals, and humans, and they all

reached the same conclusion in favor of turmeric for diabetes.

The studies show it can reduce problems associated with the disease, such as insulin resistance

and elevated blood sugar.

It does this in a variety of ways, including by reducing the production of liver glucose

and glycogen, suppressing inflammation caused by hyperglycemia, improving the function of

pancreatic cells, improving beta cell function, and improving the oxidation and utilization

of fatty acids.

The news is certainly good for those suffering from diabetes, which can be tricky to manage

and can lead to life-threatening complications over time.

However, it�s also very useful knowledge for those who do not suffer from diabetes.

Its prevalence is rising, with 1.5 million Americans being diagnosed with it every year

due largely to an unhealthy modern Western diet that barely resembles actual food provided

by nature.

Support our mission and protect your health: Organic Seeds of Life combines Red Raspberry

Seed Power, Black Cumin Seed Power and Red Grape Seed Powder into the most potent nutrient-rich

supplemental superfood powder you've ever experienced.

Loaded with flavonoids, antioxidants, anthocyanins, OPCs, ALA and a vast array of vital nutrients.

Learn more here.

One study in particular showed just how effective turmeric can be at preventing those with pre-diabetes

from going on to develop full-blown type 2 diabetes.

That study, which was published in the journal Diabetes Care, found that taking 1500 mg of

curcumin every day for nine months was 100 percent effective at ensuring prediabetics

don�t develop type 2 diabetes; the placebo group, on the other hand, saw 16.4 percent

of subjects developing the deadly illness.

Best of all, it accomplishes this without dangerous side effects for most people.

Contrast this with the standard diabetes treatment, oral anti-diabetic medications.

The most popular option, metformin, is full of side effects.

It might lower your blood sugar, but it will raise your risk of death at the same time

� hardly a trade-off that most people would be willing to make if they were informed of

all the risks.

Taking insulin isn�t much better, with one recent study finding it actually accelerates

type 2 diabetes progression while also causing type 1 diabetes!

Turmeric, ginger both excellent diabetes fighters It�s the anti-inflammatory properties of

turmeric that make it so useful in addressing diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by systemic inflammation, which then affects the function and secretion

of insulin; the curcumin in turmeric can keep this at bay.

Turmeric�s cousin, ginger, has also been shown to help fight diabetes.

Taking just 1600 milligrams per day � roughly � teaspoon � was found in studies to improve

people�s fasting glucose, triglycerides, insulin, inflammation markers, and total cholesterol,

along with glycated hemoglobin, which measures the damage caused by sugar to red blood cells.

While turmeric has tremendous anti-diabetic value, it�s important to keep things in

perspective.

If you start eating turmeric every day, that doesn�t mean you can binge on brownies and

ice cream indiscriminately.

Instead, it should be consumed as part of an overall healthy lifestyle approach to preventing

or managing diabetes.

Eliminating sugar from your diet is still essential because it�s so destructive to

your health, and the benefits gained by regular exercise are simply too great to be ignored.

What turmeric can do for some people, however, is take the place of diabetic drugs, working

in tandem with smart diet choices and mind-body approaches to help people maintain optimal

health.

Hello Guys and welcome to Modawana

This Is America Song

by ِActor/Singer Childish Gambino

which already hit the 100M views

given its an important symbolics

that Americans know it very well

such as gun violence

and racism

but was made it in the song

in awesome way

The moment the song started, watching Childish Gambino pointing a gun to a man

just want to wants to play music peacefully

gunned him down behind his head

I saw this like it was normal

thinking that Childish acting a gang-man

so it'd be understandable that a gang-man will pull out a gun and killing people in cold blood

or just accumulation a meaningless scenes of violence

this is what I thought at first that he is..

trying to make video clip by random action but

when he took the machine-gun and turned back killing

the Christian choir singers

behind him in cold blood

saying

This Is America

Here where i shocked

I was stunned

when i say stunned

I mean it literally

and this is a reference to old crimes

sadly, was happened

at United State

What's strange is

that he was grinning

from ear to ear

dancing with other dancers

as if nothing happened

also when he was running and looks terrified

chased by a white men

in a video someone said they are a Cops

I don't think so

they're a gang

a white gang or a bunch of racists

and that makes them a gang

want to make a pretty good job on him

because they're white

and he's black

A lot of videos and article had talked about this Song

Either to comment or to praise on it

as I do

and this Song is really deserve this

due to the important symbolics on it

the articles tried to deconstructed and interpret

what he meant?

Is it community-related?

Is it about security?

or Politics-related?

This shows the importance of the media

including Social media

to make a COMPLAINT

internal and external

of course, with a wider scope to speak freely

about these problems

a delicate problems

a serious problems Americans are suffering from today

and they know it perfectly will

if you guys think that I'm overreacting about the Song

or didn't understand anything of my words

I suggest you to watch the Song

put into a search engine

This Is America

by Childish Gambino

even if you aren't fluent in English

or some of you doesn't understand English at all

it's ok

you can see the shoot gun

and the gestures

watching the grinning,

a lot of cold nerves

and the dancers

Bees' endangered status is often hard to define - Duration: 1:59.

The UN has named May 20 "World Bee Day," a day to remind everyone how vital bees are

to the food supply and to fight the decline in bee populations around the world.

But saving the bees won't be easy, in part because scientists aren't sure which bees

are the most threatened and because saving one species may mean harming others.

Many bee species fall into a conservation category known as "data deficient."

The tag is given out when scientists can't be certain they can accurately count the animals,

or if a population's genes have changed so much through interbreeding that they may not

even count as the same species anymore.

Of the 4,337 species native to North America, scientists can't say whether two-thirds of

them are endangered.

The European Union is a bit better, but more than half of its species are still "data deficient"

as well.

One of the more popular bees with the label is actually the face of some conservation

efforts — the Western honeybee — a domesticated species known for producing honey and pollinating

food crops.

It's also a species that may or may not be starting to die out.

Since 2006, beekeepers have reported twice as many bees dying every winter, but given

how often these bees escape or interbreed with wild bees, it's still not clear whether

their overall numbers are declining.

That's a problem because efforts to preserve these domesticated bees could actually cause

more problems for wild bees — and for our food supply at large.

Kept hives sometimes compete directly with wild ones, like bumblebees.

In the last 20 years, four of our natural species of bumblebees have declined to near-extinction

levels, while three other species are believed to be gone.

Wild bees and other native insects are still responsible for most of our crops, with some

studies showing 86 percent of all crop systems in the world depend on them.

That's why some conservationists have suggested it may not be enough to preserve domesticated

bees like the Western honeybee.

The Blowback Against Facebook, Google and Amazon Is Just Beginning - Duration: 6:29.

The Blowback Against Facebook, Google and Amazon Is Just Beginning

By Charles Hugh Smith

This is how we end up with a neofeudal society that benefits the Protected Few at the expense

of the powerless, exploited Many.

Blow-out earnings from Facebook and Amazon have cheered Wall Street, but institutional

owners might want to focus not just on blow-out earnings but rising blowback against the tech

superpowers (Facebook, Google and Amazon).

The blowback is social and political: people are starting to question the social and political

costs of these tech darlings� dominance and the billions in profits they reap.

The typical corporation can buy political influence, but Facebook and Google are manipulating

the machinery of democracy itself. That�s a much more dangerous type of power than buying

political influence or manipulating public opinion by openly publishing biased �news.�

We all understand how Corporate Media undermines democracy: recall how every time Bernie Sanders

won a Democratic primary in 2016, The New York Times and The Washington Post �reported�

the news in small typeface in a sidebar, while every Hillary Clinton primary win was trumpeted

in large headlines at the top of page one.

But this sort of manipulation is visible; what Google and Facebook do is invisible.

I recently addressed these invisible (but oh-so profitable) mechanisms in a series of

essays:

How Far Down the Big Data/�Psychographic Microtargeting� Rabbit Hole Do You Want

to Go? Is Profit-Maximizing Data-Mining Undermining

Democracy? Should Facebook, Google and Twitter Be Public

Utilities? Should Facebook and Google Pay Users When

They Sell Data Collected from Users? Here�s a selection of recent articles on

related topics:

Research Shows Google�s Search Manipulations Tried To Rig Election For Hillary

Google�s File On You Is 10 Times Bigger Than Facebook�s � Here�s How To View

It Don�t Fix Facebook. Replace It. (The New

York Times) The Infuriating Innocence of Mark Zuckerberg

(The New Yorker) Amazon is the embodiment of numerous destructive

dynamics:

1. Zero-sum cannibalism being passed off as �growth.� Amazon is growing its sales

by cannibalizing the retail, distribution, transport, computer services and advertising

sectors. How many jobs have been lost as Amazon has consumed its victims? Shall we guess that

Amazon�s 560,000 employees replaced 1,000,000+ retail/distribution employees who lost their

jobs?

It isn�t just jobs, of course: it�s local taxes, local retail stores that attracted

pedestrians and other enterprises�the built environment and social spaces of our cities

and towns. As those are gutted and replaced by Amazon warehouses in the boondocks, much

more is being lost than retail jobs.

Amazon�s �growth� is not actually �growing� the economy in any useful way; it�s simply

consolidating a number of sectors into one quasi-monopoly.

2. Amazon is now flexing the political power of its wealth. Anybody with cash can buy political

influence. But few organizations have the billions of profits to spend on political

favors and protection that Google, Amazon and Facebook have.

3. The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, is now likely worth more than all his 560,000 employees

combined. Divide $134 billion�Bezos� personal stake in Amazon stock� by 560,000, and you

get $239,285. How many of Amazon�s employees (average pay is around $28,000 annually) have

a net worth of $240,000 or more? Vanishingly few below the top layer of techies and managers.

The theory of the happy union of capitalism and democracy rests on capitalism creating

secure middle-class employment for millions of citizens. Once capitalism only creates

a peon-debt-serf class and a 5% technocrat / manager / financier / entrepreneur / speculator

class that harvests 70% of the wealth and income, then democracy dies by the slow poison

of rising inequality and ever greater asymmetries of wealth and political power.

No wonder we read: Jeff Bezos Booed By Amazon Workers.

I am sure there are thousands of well-paid tech/managerial employees of Amazon, but there

are also thousands of part-time employees like the Camperforce: Meet the Camperforce,

Amazon�s Nomadic Retiree Army (Wired)

The blowback is just getting started, as people awaken to the dangers posed by these fast-metastasizing

tech quasi-monopolies. The most dangerous dynamics in America are the erosion of the

mechanics of democracy by wealth/corporate power, and the erosion of middle-class employment

in favor of maximizing corporate profits by any means available.

This is how we end up with a neofeudal society that benefits the Protected Few at the expense

of the powerless, exploited Many. Facebook, Google and Amazon are each accelerating this

erosion not by accident, but as a direct consequence of their business model and sources of profit.

Is the revolutionary Tesla Semi dead? Some analysts believe so - Duration: 3:51.

With Tesla Motors and CEO Elon Musk caught up in a bit of a crazy media whirlwind from

launch issues with the Model 3, it seems such troubles have market analysts and investors

convinced that the company's next biggest prospect, the Tesla Semi, is dead.

Tesla didn't mention the all-important Semi during its controversial first-quarter earnings

statement, SeekingAlpha points out.

Some investors and analysts consequently doubt in Tesla's ability to deliver what it promised.

Others believe Tesla is pulling a "smoke and mirrors effect" once again to try and

raise more capital while hiding the truth behind a range of its internal problems.

Musk alluded the Semi isn't his priority at this point.

"I actually don't know how many reservations we have for the Semi.

About 2,000?

Okay.

I mean, we haven't really tried to sell the Semi.

It's not like there's like an ongoing sales effort, so sales – orders for Semi

are like opportunistic, really companies approaching us.

Yeah, it's not something we really think about much," he told CNBC's Phil LeBeau.

A year ago, he envisioned taking on the trucking industry with the revolutionary all-electric-powered

semi-truck.

Tesla's newest truck wouldn't only say goodbye to diesel, but would solve many of

the trucking industry's problems in a transformative manner.

But doubt and skepticism set in quite early.

From an industry standpoint, the Semi seemed a little bit too distant from the reality

of actual big-rig trucking, an industry particularly sentimental to simplicity.

Although initial orders by PepsiCo, Anheuser-Busch, Sysco, and UPS supposedly placed a total of

315 orders, with some from other companies establishing some confidence in the project,

analysts still say it's not enough.

Feeding the fire of uncertainty, trouble at the famed Silicon Valley, California EV startup

first surfaced around the same time the Tesla Semi was announced, amid quality control and

manufacturing issues with the Tesla Model 3, after missing initial sales targets due

to "production issues."

Rubbing salt in the wound, a recent lawsuit surfaced from another EV startup called Nikola

Motor, who claims that Tesla violated a number of its patents with its Semi concept.

Change, especially when geared toward full electrification over the tried, tested, and

true traditional diesel motor, is incredibly hard to implement.

This is extra difficult for the trucking industry, which is heavily dependent on simplicity and

ease of maintenance and a highly developed fueling infrastructure.

In comparison to traditional diesel-powered trucks of today, an EV truck would simply

be too costly, too complex for maintenance, and charging infrastructure still pales significantly

to diesel fueling infrastructure.

Altogether, it may be that although the Tesla Semi succeeded in scoring some investment

funds, it was too optimistic and out of touch with trucking reality.

And as a result, for now, the Tesla Semi remains to be a pipe dream.

Riverdale season 3: When is Riverdale season 3 coming out on Netflix? What could happen? - Duration: 6:22.

Riverdale season 3: When is Riverdale season 3 coming out on Netflix? What could happen?

Warning: This article contains spoilers from Riverdale season two Riverdale, a series based on the Archie Comics, is a US teen drama series which has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

The Riverdale season two finale reached a 14-week high with almost 1.3million viewers.

Riverdale keeps drawing in audiences and ratings, and now fans are desperate for their favourite show to return.

The series ratings are massively up since the first season.

Luckily, fans won't have to wait long to see their favourite characters again.

"Riverdale Season 3 returns Wednesdays this fall on The CW!" Riverdale When is Riverdale season three coming out? Both The CW and Netflix have confirmed that Riverdale has been renewed for a third season.

An exact release date has not yet been confirmed, but the hit show is set to return in Autumn 2018.

Riverdale posted on Twitter: "Riverdale Season 3 returns Wednesdays this fall on The CW!" It is expected the CW show will return in October, which would follow suit from the previous seasons.

No doubt the show will go into production soon.

Fans were desperate to know whether Riverdale would return for a third season after filming for season two wrapped up in Vancouver on March 24.

One doting fan wrote: "Please stop taunting us and let us know if there will be a season 3." Another wrote: "Still waiting for a season 3 announcement." Betty Cooper actor Lili Reinhart wrote on Twitter following the season finale: "That's all she wrote! What did you think? We can't wait to get back to work and start season 3." Meanwhile the creator of Riverdale, Roberto Aguirre Sacasa teased: "So proud of Riverdale season 2.

It's been an insane journey.

Wait till u see what we got cooking for season 3!".

How many episodes will there be in Riverdale season three? Season two of Riverdale had a massive 22 episodes.

While not confirmed yet, season three will likely have around the same amount due to its popularity.

What could happen in Riverdale season three? Season two of Riverdale has been a whirlwind of emotions and plot twists.

At the centre of it all was the Black Hood, the Southside Serpents and the much-loved main characters.

Season two came to a dramatic end this week as Jughead Jones survived his encounter with the Ghoulies.

The identity of the second Black Hood has been revealed, and Archie has confronted Hiram Lodge.

Hermione Lodge also won the mayoral election, meaning her husband and mobster Hiram is now in a powerful position in Riverdale.

Riverdale loves a good murder-mystery plot, which could be expected in season three.

Season one looked at the murder of Jason Blossom, Fred Andrews was shot at the end of season two, leading to the murders of the Black Hood.

In a shock-ending, Archie has been arrested at the end of season two.

Aguirre-Sacasa told TV Line: "There might be a courtroom thriller element to it.

"There might also be sort of a prison noir element to it as well." It seems likely that we would see the return of the core characters Archie Andrews (played by KJ Apa), Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), Jughead Jones (Cole Spouse) and Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart).

We should also see Madelaine Putsch return as Vixens leader Cheryl Blossom and Casey Cott as Kevin Keller.

As season 2 was focused on the core families, it seems fitting that Archie's father Fred Andrews (Luke Perry), Betty's mother Alice Cooper (Madchen Amick), Varonica's mother and father Veronica and Hiram Lodge (Marison Nichols and Mark Consuls) and Jughead's dad FP Jones (Skeet Ulrich).

According to TV Insider, Vanessa Morgan (Toni Topaz) and Charles Melton (Reggie) will become series regulars.

The creator of Riverdale has signed a deal with Netflix to develop a remake of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina – which exists within the Archie Comics universe.

You can catch up on the first two seasons on Netflix.

FitBit Charge 2 - Is it a smart buy? - Duration: 2:04.

[Jazzy trumpet music]

The FitBit Charge 2: it claims to track specific exercises like running, weights or yoga, help

you get a better understanding of your fitness level and see how you can improve over time,

and let you see calls, texts & calendar alerts on your wrist.

Size offerings for the Charge 2 include small, large, and extra large.

It comes in 4 different standard colors and 2 special edition options.

The design of the FitBit is clearly targeted at the athletic audience, and the form factor

is narrow to get out of the way during runs or workouts.

And while it does look good, getting the band on and off was cumbersome, and parts of the

device felt cheap.

The size you choose when you purchase the FitBit doesn't change the size of the device

itself, just the size of the band the device comes with.

You can buy aftermarket bands in a range of styles and materials.

On the back of the device, there is a heart rate sensor that takes regular, accurate readings

of your heart rate throughout the day.

But because of the small surface area of the sensor, you have to choose between either

wearing the band loose and interfering with the data or wearing it tighter and having

the sensor jab into your wrist.

The data the FitBit gathers is incredibly helpful and interesting.

It tracks heart rate, steps, calories burned, and sleep with a high level of detail.

You have to manually sync the device to the app on a smartphone or computer to view all

of the data, but because the FitBit runs independently from your smart device, you don't have to

worry about it staying within range of your phone when you are wearing it.

The FitBit Charge 2 does include some smartwatch-like features such as notifications, but they were

much less polished than other smart devices we've used.

The raise-to-wake feature of the device wasn't very reliable, and because of how narrow it

is, you have to wait for texts to scroll across the screen to read them.

it was often faster to just pull out your phone.

The charger for the FitBit is a proprietary clip, but the battery life was so good that

it wasn't a big deal to throw the band onto the charger every few days.

FitBit boasts that the battery can last up to 5 days, and in our testing we found that

to be accurate.

The FitBit Charge 2 sits in a strange middle ground between small, cheap fitness trackers

and more expensive smartwatch options.

But at $150, it's a good option if you want to regularly track fitness data and don't

care about missing out on fancier smartwatch features.

The verdict from our panel of judges..

[Todd:] Get it!

[Abi:] Get it!

[Michael:] Don't get it.

Thank you for watching and don't forget to like, comment, and--

Shut up and cut to the tech!
