What is a city without migration? - Duration: 4:10.
- Cities are made of migration,
historically, they were made of migration.
They were important places where trade was going through
and often where flows of people were going through.
That is actually often forgotten
but migration made cities.
So in a way, it's in their DNA.
I think cities are emerging as a very important
level of identification.
I think it's promising in terms of diversity
because somehow, first of all, integration
happens in cities, so, it is the everyday life,
and it is where the challenges come
and where local governments oftentimes,
most of the time, they're more progressive
in saying, okay, I don't care for instance, about,
the citizenship accusation and changes
in the citizenship law, but I want to integrate
my people in the schools, for instance,
in local activities, into civic activism,
into voluntary projects - and that's very important.
That is also another level of identity
that can do away with a lot of the tensions
of the national level, so is this person
a true friend, is he a true German,
or is she a true Italian or rather say,
she is from Milan, she is from Turin,
he is from Berlin, she is from Marsailles.
Now, of course I think the way you identify with your city
has a lot to do with, also, your ethnic
and national register.
So for me, in a way, this is a new thing that I'm finding
through my research because within my own Greek background,
there was no space for cities.
So it's not that you were an Athenian. I grew up,
was born and grew up in Athens,
from a family that has been in Athens for
three or four generations, which is generally unusual,
but I never, there was no space and I think,
perhaps, to a large extent, there's still no space
in the Greek national register to say, "I'm an Athenian."
But probably, this is going to come, as a result
of the diversity and migration and intermingling.
Identifying with your city is more acceptable
both for the newcomer, whatever the newcomer is,
but also for the local - so the person
who is originally from that city
for one or two or three generations.
Because it is validating more the everyday,
the current experience. It kind of
avoids the historical issues and avoids
the legal issues.
I think, of course, it's an idiom more for large cities.
Perhaps it works, I mean, while integration
can still work well and probably even better
in smaller towns, but the register of having a city
identity is more difficult if you come from
a small town, while if you come from a medium or large
city it makes sense to say, you know,
I feel "Marseillais,"
rather than to say, I feel "a person from a really small..."
And probably has a place in the world.
I think city heritage does not really antagonize
national heritage or national definitions
of what is...national dominant discourses
about what it means to be German, to be Greek,
or to be American for that matter.
I think it really functions on a different register,
and I think that's actually what is promising.
Try to think of yourself as a citizen,
as an inhabitant of your own city,
and how you want to live your life
in connection with that and hence, then,
you bring everything together with this local connection.
And it helps also build resilience and fight alienation.

'This Is Us' Spoilers: Jack's Brother Nicky Is Not Dead | Heavy.com - Duration: 3:31.
'This Is Us' Spoilers: Jack's Brother Nicky Is Not Dead | Heavy.com
Well, that was a twist we didn't see coming.
After spending a season (well, half a season) learning about Jack's experience in Vietnam, and how his brother, Nicky, died, we left tonight's episode with one essential piece of knowledge: Nicky isn't dead.
The final scenes of this week's episode show a man collecting mail in a small apartment.
And that mail is addressed to Nicholas Pearson.
Jack Pearson's brother.
Who– it's worth saying again– is alive.
Interestingly enough, Refinery29 hit the nail on the head months ago, when they asserted their belief that Nicky was alive.
Their evidence? The outlet pointed out how Nicky was mentioned in the episode "The Car" where Jack says that Nicky never made it out of Vietnam.
But that's it.
That's all we had to conclude that he was dead.
Refinery29 also pointed out that while Jack took a teenage Randall to see the Vietnam memorial, no attention was given to Nicky's final resting place… because there is none.
What could this mean for the future of the show? Well, a lot.
It could mean a reconciliation between Jack's children and his brother.
It could mean– if Nicky has been removed from the family for years– that he doesn't know his brother is not alive.
Michael Angarano, who plays Jack's brother, is a familiar face.
The New York actor was previously on Will and Grace, where he played the role of Elliot.
He's also appeared in shows like I'm Dying Up Here, Mom, Arrested Development, 24, Summerland, and Sun Dogs.
What else did we find out at the end of the episode? A fast-forward to the future hints at Beth and Randall being separated.
That's right– the couple who has what we thought was the most stable marriage in the entire show, could potentially separate as they get older.

Potato & why too much is never good - Duration: 8:26.
Hello and welcome!
Here in Holland we live on it: potatoes
Many people in Holland eat potatoes 5 or even 7 times a week
It has become a tradition to eat potatoes, some vegetables and a piece of meat for dinner
In this video I want to explain how eating potatoes affects your health
and why in some cases it's not such a good idea to eat potatoes.
I'd like to start with the origin of the potato:
although it seems to almost have become the national food in the Netherlands,
potatoes are originally from South America
In the 16th century the Spaniards probably introduced it in Europe
And you can say that it became a staple food in the Netherlands
Nowadays it's still eaten in large quantities, probably because:
it's easy to grow on Dutch soils and it's pretty cheap
and that's what appears of great importance to the Dutch
The potato as a plant is a member of the nightshades family
The nightshades are a family of plants that actually exist of toxic plants
This also applies to the potato
The plant itself is poisonous, we can only eat the tubers
and then preferably cooked, because when raw it is also not well digested
The nightshade family contains more edible plants:
tomato, eggplant, paprika, pepper...
Those are all plants from which we can eat the fruits, but not the plant itself because of it's toxins
But still there is some kind of toxic component in the fruits
and there are many people who respond sensitively to plants from the nightshade family
and who do not digest the fruits or tubers very well
This severity of this sensitivity is very personal
It has to do with how the digestive system works
because that defines how well a product can be dissolved
And of course it also matters how much you eat of something
People with an excellent digestion can easily eat some potato without getting any complaints
People with poor digestion can more easily suffer from eating potatoes
or chili peppers, or paprika, tomato or eggplant
People who eat a lot of foods from the nightshade family on a daily base
have a great chance of suffering from that
because what happens is this:
The food is not digested well, so in this case the potato is not dissolved properly
The remains of this, the parts the body can't process, will be parked at different spots in the body
Until there is more energy available, or more enzymes available to remove these remains
The places in the body where the potato remains are parked
suffer from reduced blood flow
So these are actually toxins that get stuck at a particular place
the blood flow at that place is reduced, the draining of toxins will fade
So at this place the tissue gets more stiff
and dependent on which place this is, complaints arise
When the remains are parked in skin tissue, skin problems can arise
when it's taking place in the liver, liver problems can arise
in the kidneys, kidney problems can begin
This is very different per person and those weak spots are often hereditary
So what we can do...
We cannot decide what weak spots we will have
But we can make sure as little rubbish as possible is entering our bodies
to keep our weak spots as strong as possible
And this is what we want because it keeps us healthy
So those remains can accumulate...
The more you take of a certain product, the bigger the chance that it will start accumulating
That's why it is important to vary a lot in your choice of food.
Eating potatoes 7 days a week is not a good idea for anyone
even if your digestive system is working fine
The same applies for eating bread all day long for 7 days a week
because the less varied you choose your food, the more you burden your digestive system in a monotous way
because of which health problems can arise
Another point regarding to potatoes is that it has a high glycemic index (GI)
This means that it affects the blood sugar level quickly
So when you eat a potato, the sugars in the blood rise
and the blood sugar level is rising quickly
With baked potato, this increase is even faster than with cooked potatoes
What's happening next is that the pancreas needs to work hard
to stabilise the blood sugar level
When you often eat products with a high Glycemic Index, like potato or sugar
then the pancreas is put to work very hard every time
to properly correct the blood sugar level again
This takes energy
and at a certain point, if you keep doing this for years, the pancreas can become exhausted
although it also depend on whether it's a weak spot in your body
and what happens then is that diabetes develops
So regarding the glycemic index, the scale on which the effect on the blood sugar level is measured by food
it is important to keep variety into your diet
So don't take too many products with a high glycemic index
but rather choose for products with a low GI such as vegetables
So, variation is always important
There is yet another sidenote to potato:
a lot of pesticides are used, at least in Holland, to let potatoes grow well
If I remember it correctly, potatoes are sprayed at least 5 times in 2 or 3 months
against plagues
And of course those pesticides also end up in the soil, in the plant itself
So when you do eat potatoes it's best to choose for organically grown ones
To make sure you're not burdening your liver more than necessary
with trying to get rid of all the toxins that are, for example, in your fries
In case you have the idea that you're eating too much potato
and you don't know what you should replace it with
I can tell you there are many other options, even for Dutch eaters
split peas are a nice one
also for making mashed 'potatoes' or stews it's a good choice to take split peas
Also other peas and sweet potato are a good alternative
Somewhat more exotic is tapioca, also called cassava
of which you can make delicious fries
and of course there are also more common options like rice or pasta
these are also increasingly being used as a variation on potato
But still, with everything you eat it's important to keep varying
So please don't substitute your 7-days-a-week potato by 7-days-a-week-pasta
Because this will bring you other negative effects
So take pasta one day, eat rice another day
millet is also a really nice one. Beans are really tasty, lentils too. I already mention split peas
And so much more variation is possible
Please make sure that your body will get something different to process every time
Because, in my opinion, this is one of the most important things to keep your body healthy
Don't you know what to do? Or do you have questions? Ask ahead
