- Hey everybody, Daniel Fusco here,

and welcome to today's two minute message.

So Friedrich Nietzsche, the famed German philosopher,

was once quoted as saying that God is dead.

Really, what he was saying is that

because of the enlightenment, the ability

to believe in God has been conquered by all the

wisdom that we've accumulated.

Now what is quite ironic is that,

of course, Nietzsche is dead.

And I don't mean that in like a total slap in the face,

but it is kind of ironic.

And the fact is, is that even the ability

to think the thought that God is dead

proves that God is alive.

I like to say it this way, that Jesus is real.

The Bible says that in God, we live and move

and have our being.

And I always say that Jesus is real

because Jesus not only died,

but he conquered death through the resurrection.

The fact of the matter is that Jesus is alive right now.

There would have be no such thing as Christianity

or the belief that Jesus is the Messiah

if that tomb wasn't empty.

If that tomb still had a body in it, back 2,000 years ago,

there would never have been a talk about Jesus of Nazareth.

But still today, 2,000 years later,

Jesus is the most influential and important

person who ever lived.

And he's real for each one of us.

Not only was Jesus resurrected from the dead,

but he lives at street-level right where you live.

Now, I don't know what your ground

street-level view is today.

I don't know if it's good, or bad,

if it's all you ever hoped for,

or it's nothing you ever wanted.

But what I want to tell you is that Jesus is

right there with you.

And if you were to just turn to him,

if you were to just embrace Jesus right now,

he will lead you through this life on the most

transformational and life-changing adventure ever.

And I believe that that's what he wants to do.

So first, I want you to share this message.

So many people still think that God is dead,

that Jesus isn't real.

But I'm gonna tell you that he is.

And by sharing this message, you're helping

to get the name of Jesus out there.

And in the comment section,

I want you to talk about how Jesus

shows himself real to you.

Whether it's through the Word, through your experiences.

I want you to share those testimonies of Jesus

being at street-level with you so that we can be

encouraged by what he's doing in each other's lives.

And God bless you today.

Petition demands no public cash is spent on Princess Eugenie's wedding - Duration: 4:12.

  More than 21,000 people have signed a petition demanding no public money be spent on Princess Eugenie's upcoming wedding

 Anti-monarchy group Republic started the petition demanding no public money goes towards the event and to publish a report of all costs to taxpayers

 Princess Eugenie, 28, who carries out no royal duties, will marry fiancé Jack Brooksbank at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on October 12th, just five months after her cousin Prince Harry did the same with Meghan Markle

 The nuptials sparked anger when it was revealed the bash will be even bigger than Prince Harry's

 She and her fiancé have invited more guests to St George's Chapel in Windsor than the church will actually hold

 And she is even bringing in an expensive party planner David Beckham uses to help organise their wedding events which will span the whole weekend

 A massive 850 guests will attend - 50 more than the chapel currently holds.  By comparison, Harry and Meghan invited 600 guests

 Like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Eugenie and Jack will embark on a carriage ride to greet well-wishers

 The security bill is thought to come in at around £2 million.  The Newlyweds will travel down Castle Hill, onto the High Street and Park Street before returning to Windsor Castle via Cambridge Gate on the Long Walk and the roads along the route will be closed to traffic from 00

01am 12 October.  Republic said the event for the royal was "shaping up to look more like a £35 million extravaganza than a wedding fit for a minor royal

"  The group added: "Taxpayers should not be funding a private wedding, no matter who is getting married

 "If the Royals want to turn Eugenie and Jack's big day into a public event, they need to pick up the bill – all of it

"  The security bill will go in part towards policing the 1,200 members of the public outside the church in the grounds of the castle, who have been selected following a ballot

 But once the nuptials are over and done with, that's when things will really get interesting

 A post-wedding lunch hosted by the Queen on October 12 will be followed by a black-tie evening reception at Royal Lodge, Windsor, where Eugenie's parents, the Duke and Duchess of York, still share a home despite divorcing in 1996

 Anyone still standing after the big day will be invited back to Royal Lodge on the Saturday afternoon for a very different kind of party

 The wedding itself will reportedly be paid for by the couple's parents but the Mirror understands the security bill or protecting the ninth-in-line to the throne will fall to the taxpayer

 Republic argues the public has a right to know how much the taxpayer is likely to be paying

 The group said: The Palace claims the wedding will be funded by the royal family, but royal funding blurs the lines between private income and public money

 "So, whether it's the cost of policing paid for directly by us or costs of the wedding ceremony, paid for by the royals, the taxpayer still ends up paying

 "If the royal family funds another wedding through the ill-gotten gains of a broken system of royal funding, then we have a right to know where that money is coming from and what it's being spent on

 BBC bosses have reportedly refused to air Princess Eugenie's wedding despite prince Andrew's demands out of fears the event would be a ratings flop

Groovekart Review - Is it the Best Ecommerce Platform? - Duration: 4:17.

hello welcome to my groovekart review in the next few minutes you will learn

what is groovekart and what are benefits.So what is groovekart?

groovekart is an ecom platform that allows the everyday mom-and-pop to set up a store

within 10 minutes and be selling physical products online for the

advanced marketer it offers things like one-click upsells and countdown timers

and all the scarcity all the things to do to increase your conversions as a

marketer we need to increase conversions but we already have our traffic we're

paying for it we want to increase it let me tell you a key thing about groovekart

you will make more money you will save more money and you will enjoy what

you do a lot easier because you can have a one-on-one relationship with support

one-on-one relationship with the people who are launching it and we're just a

superior product

so why groov cart over the competition you know let's just call out 800-pound

gorilla as you said earlier Shopify my store for Shopify I paid two hundred and

seventy nine dollars which is the top premium plan yet my bill is always

around 650 to 750 L as a month this is due to apps all these different apps so

I have an app for shipping and I have an app for conversion trust me the apps

that you need is a marketer to run a profitable ecommerce store are included

in Google and the price that I pay for one month you're gonna get groove cart

to the entire year

so you already have a successful Shopify store and you're concerned

why should I bring it over the groovekart beside the fact that you're going to get

better conversions you're going to spend less money you're gonna have less

hassles why should I do that it's gonna be a hassle just moving everything over

no it's not with just a few clicks you can move over all your products or your

customers your entire database in a seamless transition and including your

domain so why should someone that's getting ready to start an online

business start with e-commerce let me tell you a funny little story I've been

in digital marketing since about 2009 and all that time I couldn't explain to

my wife or my family exactly what I did you're like so you took a magical story

and put it into some digital product and you sold it and somebody downloaded they

had no understanding of what it is and if you ask most people today they don't

really understand digital marketing they're like what is it all about when I

told them I was selling t-shirts or hats but change or some other physical

product and that someone actually received that product at home they

understood and they clicked and I made a lot of money selling digital product but

never as much as I made selling physical product because there's just something

about someone actually getting something and holding in their hands you know the

leader in digital products who's deleting digital products let me

ask the question nobody really knows who's the leader in physical products

Amazon no and so everyone says hey Amazon is selling physical products it's

safe to buy a physical product online you know because of that all the people

have had similar success

yeah I'm not sure the ceiling is and I can't make any complains but I've done a

lot of money in e-comm I've broken the ten million dollar mark selling physical

products since 2014 can anyone do that yeah you know I

wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and I just have a high school degree so can

it be done absolutely I think if you go into econ today and you open up an

e-commerce store and you don't have any knowledge of Facebook when you have no

our knowledge of outsourcing you have no knowledge of reading of products you're

gonna be able to loss however if you become a member of group card we offer

training on all of these things that's included in our platform I have an econ

course that I've sold for a lot of money that we're gonna give away and we're

gonna have experts come on every single month and teach you things like Facebook

advertising outsourcing where to find products I don't know if you know it but

my partner is Michael Sainte and if you need marketing help who better to ask

than him! Thanks for watch my Groovekart Review.

What is the mark of the beast? - Duration: 3:40.

Ankerberg: What is the mark of the beast?

Hindson: Well, the term mark, John, means a tattoo technically, "charagma" in Greek;

something cut into the skin that leaves a mark.

So it had to have a number, a name and an insignia.

It's the name of the beast, the number of the beast, or his mark.

And the number adds up to 666 as you give numerical values to the alphabetical letters.

That number is not the number of Nero as some try to suggest.

You'd have to change the spelling of his name in order to get it to add up right.

And throughout history people have tried to guess, who is this?

Is it Charlemagne?

Is it Napoleon?

Is it Hitler?

Is it this person or that person?

Is it the president I didn't vote for?

Who is it?

And it's not really for us to know.

It's for those people that have been left behind to figure out, "This really is the

Antichrist and his name really does add up to 666."

Ankerberg: Mark, it also says something about his controlling the economy of the world.

How's he going to do this?

Hitchcock: Well, it tells us that no one's going to be able to buy or sell unless they

have this mark of the beast.

And so, I think the mark of the beast, first and foremost, is really going to be a pledge

of allegiance to the Antichrist.

It's going to be a unique time in history, I think, unlike any other time, where people

are going to have to make a visible choice: Will they take Jesus Christ, or will they

serve the Antichrist?

So they're going to have to pledge their allegiance.

And when they do that, they're going to get his mark on them on the right hand or

forehead.

That means he owns them.

And then one of the benefits of that is you'll be able to buy and sell.

It will be kind of a passport, or the trademark, if you will, to be involved in commerce.

Ankerberg: Just getting food.

Hitchcock: Yes, just getting food.

So it's basically, "Bow to me or die," will be his mantra during that time.

But what we see is he's going to have control over the whole economy.

Which, really, today we see the world kind of shrinking.

We see the kind of globalism where we can really see today how a person could rule the

world politically.

Ankerberg: Control it.

Hitchcock: But also we see how the world economy can come together and one person could rule

over that.

And we don't know all the twists and turns, really, in the future and what will bring

that about.

But we know the Bible tells us at some point in time he and his henchman, the false prophet,

will control the world economy.

Ankerberg: Yes.

Hindson: What always gets my attention, John, is that you've got, if we look at the world

we live in today, we can't run ahead of God and set dates for the coming of Christ,

but: Israel's already back in the land; there's crisis in the Middle East; weapons

of mass destruction have already been invented that could accomplish these things; and a

global economy already exists.

To me those are like flashing lights getting our attention saying we are getting close

to the time of the end.

The stage is set.

How much time is left?

Only the Lord knows.

That's why people need to know they're ready to go at any moment, because He could

come at any time.

Rhodes: You know, another thing to point out here is that his task in controlling the world

economy would be made immeasurably easier in a cashless society.

In a cashless society everybody could have an account number, and every selling establishment

could have an account number.

And with that kind of system, with our supercomputers that we have today, he could easily control

who could buy and who could sell.

Now, what's interesting is that the stage is already being set for that, because our

country, and indeed the entire world, is going cashless before our very eyes.

Why "I'm not racist" is only half the story | Robin DiAngelo - Duration: 6:34.

All systems of oppression are highly adaptive, and they can adapt to challenges and incorporate

them.

They can allow for exceptions.

And I think the most powerful adaptation of the system of racism to the challenges of

the civil rights movement was to reduce a racist to a very simple formula.

A racist is an individual—always an individual, not a system—who consciously does not like

people based on race—must be conscious—and who intentionally seeks to be mean to them.

Individual, conscious, intent.

And if that is MY definition of a racist, then your suggestion that anything I've

said or done is racist or has a racist impact, I'm going to hear that as: you just said

I was a bad person.

You just put me over there in that category.

And most of my bias anyway is unconscious.

So I'm not intending, I'm not aware.

So now I'm going to need to defend my moral character, and I will, and we've all seen

it.

It seems to be virtually impossible based on that definition for the average white person

to look deeply at their socialization, to look at the inevitability of internalizing

racist biases, developing racist patterns, and having investments in the system of racism—which

is pretty comfortable for us and serves us really well.

I think that definition of a racist, that either/or, what I call the good/bad binary

is the root of virtually all white defensiveness on this topic because it makes it virtually

impossible to talk to the average white person about the inevitable absorption of a racist

world-view that we get by being literally swimming in racist water.

White fragility is meant to capture the defensiveness that so many white people display when our

world views, our identities or our racial positions are challenged.

And it's a very familiar dynamic.

I think there's a reason that term resonated for so many people.

I mean even if you yourself are to explain white fragility it's fairly recognizable

that in general white people are really defensive when the topic is racism and when they are

challenged racially or cross racially.

So the fragility part is meant to capture how easy it is to trigger that defensiveness.

For many white people the mere suggestion that being white has meaning will set us off.

Another thing that will set us off is generalizing about white people.

Right now I'm generalizing about white people, and that questions a very precious ideology,

which is: most white people are raised to see ourselves as individuals.

We don't like being generalized about.

And yet social life is patterned and observable and predictable in describable ways.

And while we are, of course, all unique individuals, we are also members of social groups.

And that membership is profound.

That membership matters.

We can literally predict whether my mother and I were going to survive my birth and how

long I'm going to live based on my race.

We need to be willing to grapple with the collective experiences we have as a result

of being members of a particular group that has profound meaning for our lives.

We live in a society that is deeply separate and unequal by race.

I think we all know that.

How we would explain why that is might vary, but that it's separate and unequal is very,

very clear.

While we who are white tend to be fragile in that it doesn't take much to upset us

around race, the impact of our response is not fragile at all.

It's a kind of weaponized defensiveness, weaponized hurt feelings.

And it functions really, really effectively to repel the challenge.

As a white person I move through the world racially comfortable virtually 24/7.

It is exceptional for me to be outside of my racial comfort zone, and most of my life

I've been warned not to go outside my racial comfort zone.

And so on the rare occasion when I am uncomfortable racially it's a kind of throwing off of

my racial equilibrium, and I need to get back into that.

And so I will do whatever it takes to repel the challenge and get back into it.

And in that way I think white fragility functions as a kind of white racial bullying, to be

frank.

We make it so miserable for people of color to talk to us about our inevitable and often

unaware racist patterns that we cannot help develop from being socialized into a culture

in which racism is the bedrock and the foundation.

We make it so miserable for them to talk to us about it that most of the time they don't,

right?

We just have to understand that most people of color that are working or living in primarily

white environments take home way more daily slights and hurts and insults than they bother

talking to us about.

Because their experience is: they're going to risk more punishment.

They're going to lose the relationship.

They're going to have their experience minimized, explained away.

They're going to cause the person to feel attacked or hurt.

And in that way white fragility functions as a kind of everyday white racial control.

None of that has to be intentional or conscious, but that is how it functions.

And there's a question that's never failed me in my efforts to unpack "how do we pull

this off?"

How do so many of us who are white individually feel so free of racism and yet we live in

a society that is so profoundly separate and unequal by race?

And the question that's never failed me is not, "is this true or is this false,

is this right or is this wrong," but: "How does it function?

How do these narratives that I tell, how do they function?"

When I tell you "Well, I'm just an individual.

Why can't we all just be individuals?"

When I tell you "I was taught to treat everyone the same."

When I tell you "but it's focusing on race that divides us."

When I tell you "but I have lots of friends of color!"

Those narratives have not changed our outcome, and they function to take race off the table

and to exempt the person from any further engagement.

And in doing that they function to protect the current racial hierarchy and the white

position within it.

It doesn't have to be what I'm intending to do, but it is the impact of those narratives.

Fear Of Failure Vs Fear Of Success - Which Is Worse? - Duration: 8:58.

how to deal with fear and overcome it stay tuned this is statement cart from

NLP Gym bringing you cutting-edge neuro linguistic programming tools and

technology to help you create the life that you desire if that sounds good

please click subscribe to this youtube channel so you can get these videos on a

regular basis fear failure and fear of success you probably have at some point

in your life experienced both let's start with fear of failure so what is

really fear of failure it's pretty simple

you are afraid to try something because you're afraid you will fail and there

could be many different consequences to that it could be financial consequences

it could just be your self-esteem or you feel like you might let other people

down so rather than try something rather than put yourself out there you are

afraid to do it you're because you're afraid to fail now some of us are we

drive ourselves through our fear of failure I know a lot of people like this

I was like this at one time and there's nothing wrong with being aware of what

your fears are there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that you are afraid

to fail however driving yourself through fear through the fear of failure trying

to drive yourself to success by fearing failure is going to ultimately limit you

it may get you where you want to go in the short term and for some people they

actually it works so well for them that they do create these incredible lives

they are extremely successful but they're never satisfied

because they feel they fear that failure is always around the corner so what if

you have tremendous success if you have tremendous success but you're always

afraid just going to be taken from you you're always afraid that you're going

to fail how much are you enjoying that success probably not very much so

basically there's two things people do when they fear failure either they don't

try it all or they drive themselves with fear so they try to drive themselves to

success using fear and neither of these are

going to work first of all if you don't ever try you're never going to get

you're not gonna even you're never gonna have a shot at getting whatever it is

that you want or succeeding in the way that you want to succeed and if you're

driving yourself with fear even if you do succeed it's not going to be

enjoyable and that's really what it should be about a success should

ultimately fulfill us if it's not then it's not success then there is fear of

success now I get a lot of people who push back on this I did a video about

fear of success that there's not really any such thing as fear of success I'll

link that video right here just click on the card right there before you jump my

case and say no the fear of success is very real I have it well watch that

video for one thing and another thing is it's not really fear of success it's

fear of change there's no such thing as really having fear of what it is you

want of course you want what you want and if you didn't you wouldn't really

want it if you didn't want it so you want what you want the only thing that

you're afraid of is how it might change you or how it might change the people

around you or how it might change circumstances around you and if people

now dislike you because you are successful the people you care about now

dislike you then that won't feel good that's change that's not the success

that you don't want the main problem with this concept of fear of success

it's more of a self-help self-improvement personal development

niche phrase people say oh that must be what my problem is

and it's all it's doing is adding more noise to an already noisy situation

there is a fear that you have it's probably a fear of change calling it a

fear of success only twists things up and makes it even more difficult to

solve the problem so the best way to deal with fear is to also understand

what your values are for trying the thing that you fear so get very clear

about what it is that you want because if you're not clear about what you want

the fear is going to win so get very clear about what it is you want and go

deeper with it what are the deeper values that you you're after and then

come back to the fear and put it the context of the deeper values and

things that you're really trying to fulfill here and then become the

container of all of these things become the container of all the things that you

value become the container of all the things that you want all the things that

you desire and become the container of that fear put the fear and perspective

of the totality of who you are and look at your entire life you have had fears

fear failure fear of change and sometimes those worst fears have come

true but yet you're still alive you're still breathing your life isn't ruined

you're okay so put fear in perspective fear is a great alarm system and you

don't want to get rid of it it lets you know when something's not right or it

lets you know when you need to pay attention to something that's good

that's great except the fear just don't resist it and don't turn it into

something bigger than what it is and when people say they have a fear of

success they're turning their fears into something bigger than what it really is

acknowledge that you have a fear of change acknowledge that you fear that if

you get what you want others will be jealous then assess that situation if

people really get jealous and they don't like you because you you've gotten what

you want and you've succeeded maybe there shouldn't you be your friends

names you shouldn't be hanging out with them and that happens to me all the time

I more and more and creating the life that I've always wanted and I'm starting

to find that there are certain people and it surprises me sometimes who in

their minds they just don't think that I deserve it and I'm not doing anything

wrong not doing anything moral immoral I'm not cheating or anything like that

but in because they're not doing anything about it they just feel like I

shouldn't be able to access that I shouldn't be able to have it and in some

cases they actually have tried to sabotage me my story is not unique

it happens to a lot of people and you don't even have to be like super

successful it's just when people see you getting what you want even on a small

level and they don't have it they feel like it's unfair they feel like you

don't deserve it even though you've been working your

butt off to do so then maybe it's time to get away from

those people so put your fears in perspective and really assess the risk

is it really worth it for me not to do something is it really that risky the

truth is unless it really poses a physical threat to you

most things are not nearly as risky as you fear they're not nearly as risky as

you think they are will it really ruin your life would it really ruin you

financially if the question is no it's probably not that risky you don't want

to do anything that could physically harm you you don't want to do anything

that would wreck you financially other than that you can pretty much recover

from anything most of us want pretty reasonable things we have pretty

reasonable goals they might be lofty but they're reasonable meaning we don't have

to hurt anybody to get them we don't have to risk ourselves physically or

financially maybe just some extent financially if you're in business but I

mean there's almost nothing you can't recover from so it's more about putting

the fear in perspective and respecting the fear respecting that there is a part

of you that lets you know that there's something to watch out for here but it's

not the only thing so take the microscope off of the fear

and look at it from a macro level look at it from a level of yes this is a

component of what I'm doing there is a risk here but what really are the risk

and really unpack them and what you'll find is when you really face the fear

when you look the fear at what the fear is trying to tell you and you put it in

perspective it's not nearly as bad as what you think it is so fear failure

fear success they're really the same thing it's about a fear of change

Riley is informed about the CTE Inside Out / DDLC Parodies Discord - Duration: 1:55.

JOY: Okay. So far, the Pizza Planet server is doing well.

Surely, it will continue to be so?

ANGER: I think you're misunderstanding, Joy.

Seeing the same members every day is not a measure of success.

FEAR: I still have the list of channel names saved, and there are way too many.

DISGUST: Newcomers see the channel list and simply turn away, not sure where to start.

SADNESS: And we can't really fix that or get rid of channels, which means...

ANGER: That the server is dead and someone will surely out-compete us! Then, we will...

JOY: No. The server is staying under my supervision. I propose that we...

JILL ANDERSEN: I have something to tell you.

ANGER: Surely, it is officially pulling the plug on the server!

JILL: I can't recognize anything there. Looks like a co-admin deleted many channels.

A majority, in fact.

RILEY ANDERSEN: Without me?

JILL: Nope. Only Rachel was really consulted, and she said okay without thinking about it.

ANGER: So, our voice doesn't even matter!

JILL: A reform like this was needed, but now there is the difficult part of getting more members

via promotion...

ANGER: I'm not promoting anything that was done without my approval!

JILL: But you're right that the server is dead.

And that we need a new one.

Yeah. Instead of a server focusing on Pixar movies, which constantly change...

well, you could have a server dedicated to your channel.

After all, you have a set list of topics that you make parodies on, and that is never going

to change, earning you a consistent and significant subscriber base. Isn't that right?

JOY: Well!

RILEY: Yeah! I think so.

JILL: There's your solution to the server problem.

Good night.

RILEY: Good night.

ANGER: Alright, glad to know that we're officially restarting.

DISGUST: Hey, what about that recent DDLC video? FEAR: Won't it just be a place for Hitler parodists?

JOY: Well, we know what to do! Namely, make our own, parody-oriented server, which will

bring... people who are interested in parodies, not movies, and who we can chat with!

called A Tale of Two Mothers. After seeing the final product at the premiere screening

I felt compelled to create today's video. The film concentrates on two different mothers

who both had sons who ended their own lives by suicide. A commonality the two boys shared

was they were both victims of bullying. That bullying was a driving factor in their decisions

to take their lives.

Such a situation is no big revelation to me.

I have heard of similar stories before. However the stories hit me much harder than the aforementioned

past news stories. A lot of that had to do with being in the same room as the mothers

as we featured in the film participated in a Q & A as a part of the evening. You could

feel the pain and sorrow the mothers felt from losing their sons. It was an attention seizing experience.

One I have grown especially sensitive to over the years thanks to my disability advocacy

efforts. If you are watching me, you probably already

know having a disability makes you vulnerable to being bullied. Fortunately I managed to

avoid a lot of that. I do recall in my cerebral palsy memoir Off Balanced, available on the

Kindle and Nook, an instance in college where I was playing ping pong down in the rec area

and another student came in and began laughing at my lacking ping pong skills. However, he

was quickly quieted by my friend who confronted his behavior.

I vaguely remember a similar scenario playing out in first grade. My best friend at the

time and I were walking around the playground at recess when another kid

came up and pushed me over. My friend responded by chasing that kid down and pushing

him over. Reflecting back, I credit that moment for

the reason I didn't endure much bullying growing up. I wish I could give that credit

to simply going to school with a great group of kids, but I know of at least three of my

peers from school who were called names and talked about negatively.

I wish I could sit here and tell you I paid the favor forward and stood up for those bullied,

but I honestly cannot. I figured if I wasn't the one doing the bullying and I wasn't the victim

then the problem wasn't mine. It was through my writing decades later I realized the truth.

Bullying is everyone's problem. One individual in-particular succeeded in

opening my mind to this reality, anti-bullying speaker Tony Bartoli. Bullies targeted Tony

for years because of his cerebral palsy. The bullying finally stopped in high school because

one morning another student decided to confront Tony's tormentors. A classmate decided to

no longer be a bystander and instead take a stand.

And that's how exactly how bullying is everyone's problem. There is the vict, there is the bully, the victim, and

everyone who lets the behavior go on is a bystander. As long as bystanders simply stand

by, the bullying will continue and so will the bully related suicides. Therefore I implore

you, don't be a bystander. Summon the courage to take a stand against the bullies.

By chance you've done that or you have had a bystander take a stand for you, please share

your story below in the comments section. How did the situation play out? Let the, let your scenario

be a positive model for the rest of us to follow.

Learn How Save the Manatees Club is Helping to Protect Manatees - Duration: 1:01.

A manatee is a mammal, it's aquatic, it's herbivorous - it eats plants - they're related

to elephants, they're related to hyrax which is just little furry animal.

It's kind of incredible that they're related, but they are. They are endangered to some extent.

They're at least threatened here in the United States. The rest of the world they're still endangered.

The number one leading cause of death is human and it's boats, then you go on to other items -

We've had at least three manatees die of consuming

human debris. We've had so many now that it's hard for me to sit down and list

them all that have gotten entanglements on their flippers primarily from monofilament fishing line.

Being affected by algae blooms, or red tides, or by the

cold weather in the winter time, and then encroaching development on the habitat as well.

They do need our help, they do need our voice, and the one thing we can

really do for them is educate people about them.
