On the Record: Superintendent Chang's pop quiz - Duration: 3:51.
ED: BETSY DEVOS IS KNOWN FOR HER
GENEROUS POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
TO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
APPROXIMATELY HOW MUCH HAS SHE
AND HER FAMILY CAN TO BEAT IT TO
REPUBLICANS?
$1 MILLION, $50 MILLION
OR $200
MILLION?
DR. CHANG: $50 MILLION HAS
SOUNDS RIGHT.
ED: $200 MILLION.
DR. CHANG: WOW.
ED: HER FATHER IN LAW MADE HIS
FORTUNE WITH CLEANING SUPPLIES.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE COMPANY?
AMWAY OR PROCTER & GAMBLE?
DR. CHANG: AMWAY.
ED: IT IS AMWAY.
YOU ARE ALL THE HOT SEAT -- OFF
THE HOT SEAT.
JANE WHO SHOULD BE WORRIED AND
WHEN WILL YOU HAVE MORE
DEFINITIVE INFORMATION FOR THEM?
DR. CHANG: AT THIS TIME, WE
DON'T HAVE PLANS TO CLOSE ANY
SCHOOLS.
THE WAY WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT
THIS, IT'S NOT ABOUT CLOSING THE
SCHOOL'S COMMENTS ABOUT
REBUILDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
A LOT OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE IN
BUILDINGS THAT ARE IN VERY POOR
CONDITION.
THE MAYOR HAS STATED PUBLICLY
THAT HE'S GOING TO PUT $1
BILLION TO BUILD OF
INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE TALKING
ABOUT.
JANET: YOU WILL HAVE TO MOVE THE
STUDENTS WHILE THOSE BUILDINGS
ARE BEING CONSOLIDATED OR
RENOVATED.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE STUDENTS?
IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN THE THREE
MONTHS DURING THE SUMMER.
JANET: WE ARE GOING TO ENGAGE IN
NEIGHBORHOOD CONVERSATIONS.
DR. CHANG: WHAT IMMEDIATE
UPGRADES NEED TO BE MADE IN
SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND WHAT NEW
SCHOOL BUILDINGS NEED TO BE
BUILT.
JANET:
NEXT YEAR, THERE WILL BE
NO STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS CURRENTLY
THAT WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE ELS
-- WILL HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE
ELSE.
ED: I SPOKE TO SOMEONE THIS
MORNING WHO SAID ASK YOU ABOUT
THE WATER.
STILL COME I'M GETTING QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE WATER.
BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS GOT A D
FOR WATER QUALITY.
THIS IS PART OF THE BIG PROBLEM,
RIGHT?
DR. CHANG: WE HAVE TO MAKE
IMMEDIATE UPGRADES TO ALL SCHOOL
BUILDINGS.
THERE'S EASY THINGS THAT CAN BE
DONE ACROSS THE BOARD.
SOME OF THE DEEPER THINGS THAT
NEED TO BE DONE SUCH AS CHANGE
IN HYPING IN OUR SCHOOLS --
CHANGING PIPING IN OUR SCHOOLS.
OUR WATER IS SAFE.
WE TEST OUR WATER TWICE A YEAR.
IF THERE'S ANY SORT OF READING
THAT CAUSES ALARM, WE SHUT IT
DOWN.
JANET: WHAT IS THE D FOR?
YOU ARE STRUCK BY THAT GREAT?
DR. CHANG: I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THAT LETTER GRADE CAME FROM.
WE HAVE THE RIGHT PROCESSES AND
WRITE PROCEDURES IN PLACE AND WE
ARE MAKING ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENTS TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
UPGRADED ALL OF OUR WATER
FOUNTAINS.
WE NEED TO GET TO A POINT WHERE
WE HAVE CLEAN WATER FOR DRINKING
IN EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL.
ED: WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU.
IT IS NOT BASEBALL SEASON OR I
WOULD HAVE ASKED YOU A RED SOX
QUESTION.

DR. TOMMY CHANG IS WITH US.
HE IS A LONG WAY FROM HOME.
CALIFORNIA IS WHERE HE WAS THE
CHARTER SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.
DR. CHANG IS A GRADUATE OF YOU
PEN -- 56,000 KIDS.
THAT IS QUITE A RESPONSIBILITY.
DR. CHANG: I LOVE THE WORK.
EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
JANET: THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH
US.
WE HAVE A NEW EDUCATION
SECRETARY IN WASHINGTON.
BETSY DEVOS
SQUEAKED AND AFTER
THE VICE PRESIDENT HAD TO VOTE.
WHAT ARE YOUR BIGGEST WORRIES
WITH HER AT THE HELM?
JANET: SHE IS OUR SECRETARY OF
EDUCATION.
DR. CHANG: MY HOPE IS WE CAN
WORK TOGETHER.
SHE NEEDS TO COME INTO THE
WONDERFUL WORK THAT IS HAPPENING
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN BOSTON AND
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
SHE NEEDS TO USE HER ROLE TO
MAKE SURE WE ARE DOING THE BEST
WE CAN FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
WE'VE MADE GAINS OVER THE LAST
DECADE AND SHE NEEDS TO PRESERVE
THOSE GAINS.
HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT
STUDENTS
ARE NOT DISCRIMINATED IN
SCHOOLS.
THAT THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE THE
MOST -- HAVE BEEN THE MOST
MARGINALIZED ARE CLOSING GAPS.
JANET: SHE IS A BIG PROPONENT OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS.
ANY FEARS ON YOUR PART THAT
THAT WILL BE AT THE TOP OF HER
AGENDA?
DR. CHANG: SHE NEEDS TO SERVE
ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WHETHER THEY
ARE CHARTER OR TRADITIONAL
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
OR WHETHER THEY ARE MAGNETS.
THEY ARE ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
WE HAVE TO HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE
TO MAKE SURE SHE --
JANET: DOES THAT WERE YOU A BIT?
DR. CHANG: ABSOLUTELY.
ED: LET'S TALK ABOUT BOSTON
SCHOOL STUDENTS.
BOSTON KIDS COME FROM 139
COUNTRIES.
DR. CHANG: THERE'S ABOUT 80
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES BEING
SPOKEN.
ED: ONE OF EVERY TWO
STUDENTS
SPEAKS ANOTHER LEG WHICH --
ANOTHER LANGUAGE.
IS THIS THREATENING FEDERAL
FUNDING IN BOSTON AND DOES THAT
WORRY YOU?
DR. CHANG: YES.
WE SEE OVER $100 MILLION OF
FEDERAL FUNDING.
MANY OF THOSE FUNDS COME FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
WE WELCOME EVERY YOUNG PERSON.
IT IS THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT
TO RECEIVE A FREE PUBLIC
EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY.
WE DO NOT ASK
FOR THE
IMMIGRATION STATUS OF ANY OF OUR
STUDENTS.
WE WELCOME EVERY STUDENT IN
BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
I SPOKE TO OUR WELCOME CENTER.
OUR FAMILIES NEED TO FEEL
WELCOMED.
THEY SHOULD NOT BE GOING THROUGH
EXTREME BETTING IN BOSTON PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
ED: HOW MUCH COULD IT COST
BOSTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS?
DR. CHANG:
WE GET OVER $100
MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING.
THOSE ARE BOUND BY STATUTES WE
WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON
IT.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
FIRST PRIORITY IS MAKING EVERY
STUDENT FEEL WELCOME.
JANET: ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
THAT HAPPENED AFTER YOU TOOK
OVER WAS THE EXTENDED THE SCHOOL
DAY BY 40 MINUTES.
AFTER THE UNIONS GOT ON BOARD
AND AGREE TO THIS.
AS IT MADE A DIFFERENCE?
DO YOU HAVE HARD NUMBERS TO BACK
THIS UP?
DR. CHANG: A THIRD OF OUR
SCHOOLS AT THIS POINT HAVE THE
ADDITIONAL 40 MINUTES.
THE REST WILL GET THE EXTRA 40
MINUTES NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.
THAT WILL GIVE US 20 ADDITIONAL
SCHOOL DAYS FOR THE YEAR.
AT THIS TIME, WE DON'T HAVE THE
HEART DATA -- HARD DATA.
THAT I SEE GREAT THINGS
HAPPENING IN OUR SCHOOLS.
THE EXTRA 40 MINUTES ARE BEING
USED FOR ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION,
DOING ROBOTICS, KIDS LEARNING
FOREIGN LANGUAGES -- IT'S A LOT
OF GREAT LEARNING GOING ON.
JANET: WHERE ARE THESE ONE THIRD
SCHOOLS?
MIDDLE SCHOOLS, ELEMENTARY
SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOLS?
DR. CHANG: THEY WILL BE EVERY
K-8 ACROSS BOSTON CITY.
IT IS BECAUSE OF AN ADDITIONAL
$40 MILLION THE MAYOR IS
CONSUMING.
-- CONTRIBUTING.
ED: HOW MANY DAYS ARE ADDED?
DR. CHANG: IT'S EQUIVALENT TO 20
ACTION DAYS ED: HAVE YOU DEAL
WITH THE DELICATE BALANCE OF
TEACHER COMPENSATION?
DR. CHANG: THE TEACHERS ARE
GETTING COMPENSATED FOR IT.
A LOT OF THAT TIME IS USED TO
HELP TEACHERS PLAN AS WELL.
THERE'S DOLLARS FOR PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT.
JANE DO YOU KNOW WHERE MOST OF
THE 40 MINUTES ARE GOING?
DOES IT HAVE TO GO TO MASCOMA
MUSIC, WHATEVER?
-- MATH, MUSIC, WHATEVER?
DR. CHANG: THERE IS NO EDICT.
EVERY SCHOOL MAKES THOSE
DECISIONS.
ED: WE ARE READY TO HIT THE POP

This Powerful New Technology May Be The Only Way To Explore Venus - Duration: 4:08.
Imagine we've successfully landed a robot on Venus!
Nice job... [pause, checks watch] Annnd now it's dead.
Hello fellow carbon-based lifeforms, Ian here for DNews.
I want you to imagine building a robot that can land on the surface of Venus.
Actually, imagine building a robot that will land on the surface of HELL and you'll have
a better idea of what to expect.
Yes, Venus is a toxic hellhole that's not only hot enough on the surface to melt lead,
but the thick carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere has a pressure about 90 times greater than
Earth's.
This isn't very good news for any robots we want to send there to explore the planet
and do science.
But there IS hope.
NASA engineers at the Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio, are developing a new kind
of integrated circuit that not only survives the rigors of being in space, it could also
allow the delicate electronics inside Venus landers to live 100 times longer than previous
efforts.
It's not like we haven't tried landing on Venus before.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, the Soviet Union tried to send a series of 16 spacecraft to
Venus as part of the Venera program — which included flybys, atmospheric probes and landers.
Of the early landing attempts, Venera 3 to Venera 6 either burned up, crashed or got
crushed by Venus' atmosphere.
Even though it got crushed before touchdown, Venera 4 has the historic distinction as being
the first probe to transmit data from another planet's atmosphere in 1967.
In 1970, Venera 7 made history as the first ever soft landing on another planet.
It sent back 23 minutes of data before dying.
After this, the Soviets had more success from Venera 8 — which landed in 1972, returning
50 minutes of data.
Venera 9 landed in 1975 and took the first ever black and white photos from another planet's
surface.
Venera 13, in 1981, and 14, in 1982, returned color panoramic views from Venus' surface,
revealing the alien geology and incredibly hazy atmosphere.
In 1984, Russia launched the two Vega missions that included landers and atmospheric balloons.
The US even gave Venus a go when they parachuted probes to the surface during the 1978 Pioneer
Venus mission.
One of the probes continued to transmit data an hour after landing on the surface.
But all Venus surface missions quickly succumbed to the extreme heat and pressure, most lasting
for less than a couple of hours.
Venera 13 holds the record, lasting 127 minutes before melting.
Although our technology has advanced since this exciting era of Venus exploration, we
still don't have the ability to protect them from the extreme environment for very
long.
Conventional silicon circuits stop working at high temperatures long before they start
to melt.
But now, NASA engineers are testing an extremely durable "silicon carbide semiconductor integrated
circuit" — it's a circuit made out of a new silicon mix that continues to function
as a circuit should, only at much higher temperatures.
It was originally being developed for use in hot sections of fuel-efficient aircraft.
Knowing that they could tolerate temperatures up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit, the NASA engineers
placed samples of the circuit into the Glenn Extreme Environments Rig (GEER).
This instrument not only replicates the temperatures found on Venus' surface, it also applies
the same pressures.
And after 521 hours of extreme testing, the integrated circuits continued to operate as
designed.
To use conventional electronics in space, heavy shielding is needed to protect delicate
components.
If this new circuit technology is used for space robots, I'd imagine that this shielding
may not be required, reducing weight, boosting electronics longevity in harsh environments,
reducing launch weight and ultimately costs.
But the thing that makes this kind of tech development REALLY interesting is the very
obvious applications a highly durable integrated circuit has on Earth.
Robotics are used in a range of industries and are increasingly being used in extremely
hazardous environments — building tougher electronics to boost their operational lives
would obviously be a bonus.

Kid Rock Floated as Potential GOP Senate Candidate - Duration: 1:52.
For Complex News, I'm Hanuman Welch. We all remember Kid Rock, right? As one of the vanguards
of the rap/rock movement that history would soon rather forget, Rock occasionally sticks
his head out of his Michigan bunker to drop knowledge pipe bombs like
"Beyoncé, to me, doesn't have a f**king 'Purple Rain,' but she's the biggest thing on Earth.
How can you be that big without at least one 'Sweet Home Alabama' or 'Old Time Rock & Roll'?
People are like, 'Beyoncé's hot. Got a nice f**king *ss.' I'm like, 'Cool, I like skinny
white chicks with big t*ts.' Doesn't really f**king do much for me."
Kid Rock is basically what Pixar would come up with if you asked them to create a cartoon
version of herpes who voted for Mitt Romney. Rock, who was once subpoenaed to produce a
glass dildo as evidence in a lawsuit with the insane clown posse, could be mulling a
political career all his own.
According to Roll Call, Kid Rock's name was mentioned at a Republican Party convention
in Michigan last weekend. To get a bead on where Rock's politics fall, he supported Ben
Carson in the 2016 presidential election and later switched to Donald Trump as he became
the party's nominee. If you're interested you can still pick up one of these gorgeous
Gods, guns, and Trump t-shirts off Kid Rock's website for $24.99 plus shipping alongside
this gem.
Rock is responsible for some of the worst music ever recorded and since this is 2017
and a pussy-groping reality tv star is somehow president, sure, why not, the honorable representative
bad-wit-da-bah should totally be elevated to state legislator.
Woof, that's still terrible.
Just a reminder that this is what Kid Rock used to look like before he rebranded himself
into some honky-tonk outlaw from Detroit
That's all for now but for everything else subscribe to complex on youtube, for complex
news I'm Hanuman Welch.

THE EXPANSE | Season 2, Episode 4: 'Proto-Problems' | Syfy - Duration: 2:52.
They're pushing off.
HOLDEN: Jam their comms and get 'em on tight beam.
Rocinante, what's the problem?
We're complying with your orders.
You lied to me, Doctor.
You hacked into Eros.
We found your dead colleague in the airlock.
I told Dr. Kane not to touch it,
but he never listens.
He tried to get a sample, but it attacked him.
Almost like it felt threatened.
I've never seen anything like it.
It was everywhere.
Holden, they're changing course,
heading back around Eros.
They're trying to use the asteroid to block our jamming.
You need to turn your ship around right now
and surrender to us.
All of you might be infected.
We have to be sure.
We swore an oath and have a duty to broadcast
the truth to the system.
Listen to me, Doctor,
you have no idea what you're dealing with here.
It's not a disease,
it's obviously some kind of weapon.
You Martians have been using these Belters as guinea pigs.
If any one of you are infected,
you could wipe out millions!
Turn your ship around.
I promise you'll not be harmed.
We won't let you silence us to protect your experiment.
If you broadcast, people will come here to investigate
and we won't be able to contain it.
This is not our experiment, we're not a military unit.
My name is James Holden,
I'm not your enemy.
NAOMI: We're out of time.
If they get the asteroid between our ships,
we lose our jamming signal
and they'll be able to broadcast everything
they saw inside Eros.
Alex, get a missile lock.
Release fire control to me.
-Are you serious? -(SHOUTS) Just do it!
You got less than a minute.
I'm trying to save your life.
I swear to you we want the same thing.
Please don't make me kill you.
If we truly want the same things,
then you know what you need to do.
You got thirty seconds.

State Offers 'Do It Yourself' Death Row - Duration: 5:15.
THE DEATH PENALTY CONTINUES TO BE A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE FACT THAT DANISH DRUGMAKERS THAT MAKE
THE LETHAL INJECTION USER EXECUTIONS HAVE NOW
ACTUALLY BANDED FOR EXECUTIONS.
AS A RESULT, STATES THAT HAVE LEGALIZED A DEATH PENALTY
ARE SCRAMBLING FOR A COCKTAIL OF DRUGS THAT ACTUALLY IN A
LOT OF CASES DON'T WORK AND COULD LEAD TO CRUEL AND
UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT OUT THERE BEEN CASES OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE BEEN INJECTED WITH THESE DANGEROUS COCKTAILS AND
THEY LITERALLY SUFFERED FOR TWO HOURS BEFORE DYING.
AS A RESULT, ARIZONA IS UNVEILING A NEW DEATH
PENALTY PLAN.
THEY ARE ALLOWING DEFENSE LAWYERS TO PROVIDE THE
DRUGS NECESSARY TO EXECUTE THEIR CLIENTS.
OH MY GOD.
IT'S BANANAS.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE DETAILS ON IT.
WITH DRUGS THAT CAN LEGALLY BE USED FOR LETHAL INJECTION
IN SHORT SUPPLY, THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
LATEST EXECUTION PROTOCOL STATES THAT ATTORNEYS FOR DEATH
ROW INMATES ARE WELCOME TO BRING ALONG THEIR OWN.
THE INMATES COUNSEL OR OTHER THIRD PARTIES ACTING ON
BEHALF OF THE INMATES COUNSEL MAY PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT WITH
THE SEDATIVE, PENTOBARBITAL, THAT IS THE MAIN DRUG THAT
IS USED, OR AN ANESTHETIC, SODIUM PINTA THOUGHT IF THEY
CAN OBTAIN IT FROM A CERTIFIED OR LICENSED PHARMACIST,
PHARMACY, COMPOUND PHARMACY, MANUFACTURER, OR SUPPLIER.
THIS IS INSANE.
1ST OF ALL, IF THE STATE HAS A HARD TIME OBTAINING THE
DRUGS THAT THEY WANT, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT A DEFENSE
ATTORNEY OR ANOTHER THIRD-PARTY WOULD BE ABLE TO OBTAIN A?
SECONDLY, THIS IS AN ETHICAL AND UNLAWFUL.
LET ME GIVE YOU A STATEMENT FROM A LEGAL EXPERT THAT A
PRISONER A PRISONERS LAWYER SIMPLY CANNOT OBTAIN THESE
DRUGS LEGALLY OR ILLEGALLY TRANSFER THEM TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, SO IT'S HARD TO FATHOM WHAT
THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT WAS THINKING INCLUDING THIS
NONSENSICAL PROVISION AS PART OF ITS EXECUTION PROTOCOL.
THEY ARE KILLING THE GUY.
ITíS LIKE TELLING A DEFENSE
LAWYER, NO, IT'S OKAY.
YOU CAN BRING THE GUN AND SHOOT THEM IF YOU WANT.
NO, IT'S OKAY, YOU ARE HIS DEFENSE LAWYER, IT DIDN'T
WORK OUT LIKE YOU WANTED, YOU BRING THE ROPE AND STRANGLE
HIM YOURSELF.
THAT'S OKAY.
ARE WE NOT MERCIFUL?
WE ARE ALLOWING THAT AS WELL.
NO, THAT IS NOT HOW IT SHOULD WORK IN A HUMANE SOCIETY.
YOU KNOW THAT I WAS IN FAVOR OF THE DEATH PENALTY UNTIL I
FOUND OUT THAT WE WERE EXECUTING PEOPLE THAT WERE INNOCENT.
THE INNOCENCE PROJECT HAS RELEASED SO MANY PEOPLE
FROM DEATH ROW DNA APPROVED WERE INNOCENT.
4%
OF THE PEOPLE ON DEATH ROW ON AVERAGE ARE INNOCENT.
YOU SHOULD BE AGAINST THE DEATH PENALTY ON THAT YOU WANT
JUSTICE?
IS INJUSTICE, IT'S A GROSS INJUSTICE TO KILL THE WRONG
PERSON THEN ON TOP OF THAT, NOT ONLY FOR THE REAGAN IS THE
SUM GOT SIGNS FOR THE WRONG GUYS, YOU WERE GOING TO
MAKE THEM SUFFER FOR HOURS AND HOURS AS YOU INJECT THE
WRONG DRUGS INTO THEM, BUT ARE YOU NOT KIND THAT YOU ALLOW
THEIR OWN DEFENSE ATTORNEYS TO MURDER THEM INSTEAD.
THAT IS THE KIND OF SOCIETY THAT WE ARE IN FAVOR OF?
YOU ARE GOING TO RAISE YOUR HAND AND SAY I REALLY LIKE THAT IDEA.
IT IS CRAZY.
OKAY, THAT IS ON YOU.
THE DRUG MANUFACTURER IN DENMARK FEELS THAT THEY
HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO BAN THE DRUG THAT THEY
PREVIOUSLY SUPPLIED FOR EXECUTIONS.
THAT HAS LED TO A HUGE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES AND SO
IT IS JUST INTERESTING BECAUSE VARIOUS STATES ARE COPING
WITHIN DIFFERENT WAYS.
IN THIS CASE, THEY WANT TO MAKE IT SO WITH DEFENSE ATTORNEY
CAN PROVIDE THE DRUG WHICH IS CRAZY BUT THEN THERE ARE
ALSO CRAZY LAWS PASSED IN OTHER RED STATES LIKE MISSISSIPPI.
MISSISSIPPI'S HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THIS MONTH
ACTUALLY PASSED A BILL WHICH SHOULD BECOME LAW MEANS
THAT IF LETHAL INJECTIONS ARE UNAVAILABLE OR RULED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL, THEY CAN USE A GAS CHAMBER, A FIRING
SQUAD, OR AN ELECTRIC CHAIR.
ALSO IN 2015 UTAH APPROVED THE USE OF FIRING SQUADS IF DRUGS
ARE UNAVAILABLE, AND THE STATE IS THE MOST RECENT
CARRYOUT
EXECUTION BY THAT METHOD IN 2010.
THERE IS NO PRETTY WAY TO KILL SOMEONE.
I DIDN'T AGREE WITH THIS BACK WHEN I WAS IN FAVOR OF THE
DEATH PENALTY, BUT I HAVE BEEN MORE CONVINCED LATELY THAT
IF YOU WANT TO SEND A MESSAGE TO NOT KILL PEOPLE, DOING IT BY
KILLING THEM IS VERY IRONIC AND PERHAPS NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GO.
BY THE WAY, WHY DID I CHANGE MY POSITION ON THIS?
BECAUSE I NOW HAVE KIDS.
SOME PEOPLE THINK YOU SHOULD HIT YOUR KIDS AND IF I DON'T
WANT THEM TO COMMIT ACTS OF VIOLENCE, HITTING THEM IS A VERY
IRONIC AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE WAY TO DO THAT.
I THINK IT PALES IN COMPARISON TO THE DEATH PENALTY.
REALLY GUYS, WE'RE GOING TO PUT PEOPLE IN GAS CHAMBERS?
I HOPE WE'RE BETTER THAN THAT.

FIRST 30 DAYS OF THE TRUMP
>> IT IS NOT THE FIRST 100 DAYS,
BUT WE HAVE THE FIRST 30 DAYS OF
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
SO, ONE MONTH, PRESIDENT TRUMP.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> WE ARE GETTING SUCH PRAISE
FOR OUR STANCE.
>> I THINK IT'S A COMPLETE
DISASTER.
>> I DON'T NECESSARILY AGREE
WITH HIM.
>> NORTH KOREA IS A BIG, BIG
PROBLEM.
>>
EVERYBODY SAYS HE'S GOT
REALLY SMART PEOPLE AROUND HIM.
HE DOES NOT THINK THAT WAY.
>> WHEN 9/11 HAPPENED AND THEY
DECIDED TO WIRETAP ALL THE
AMERICANS BECAUSE OF THE
TERRORISM, THAT WAS NO BIG DEAL.
BUT NOW THAT THERE IS A BAN ON
MUSLIMS, NOW IT IS A BIG DEAL.
>> ONE
REALLY GOOD THING TO COME
OUT OF IT IS HAD ALL OF US
BECOME MUCH MORE AWARE OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING.
>> EVERYBODY NEEDS TO LOOK AT
BOTH SIDES OF THE ARGUMENTS.
STOPPING SO NEGATIVE.
-- STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE.
ED: WE ARE ALL PAYING ATTENTION
AND THE PRESS BRIEFINGS ARE
GETTING HIGH RATINGS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE DAY BECAUSE WE ARE
ALL PAYING ATTENTION.
EVEN BETTER THAN THE SOAP
OPERAS.
PATRICK GRIFFIN JOINS US AND
BARRY FINEGOLD AS WELL.
JANET: WHAT IS YOUR GREAT FOR
THE FIRST MONTH?
>> D MINUS.
I'M TRYING TO BE HOPEFUL.
I DON'T HAVE TOO MANY POSITIVE
THINGS TO SAY.
>> SEE THE TEACHER FOR
ADDITIONAL HELP.
AN
INCOMPLETE IF NOT RESOLVED
COULD RESULT IN
NO COMPLETION OF
THE COURSE.
ED: THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT BE
PLEASED WITH THAT.
THE RUSSIANS HAD MOVED BACK TO
CENTER STAGE.
HIS MICHAEL FLYNN'S DEPARTURE
THE OPENING ACT?
>> THIS IS SERIOUS.
THERE'S TWO SIDES TO THIS.
ONE IS THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT IN
FACT THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN WAS IN
TOUCH WITH RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE.
THAT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
THE LEAKING IS VERY SERIOUS.
THESE ARE FORMER INTELLIGENCE
FOLKS WHO ARE OUT OF THE
PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION LEAKING
THIS STUFF.
>> YOU HAVE
GENERAL MATTIS
SAYING ONE THING, THE WHITE
HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY SING
ANOTHER AND TRUMP SANG A
DIFFERENT THING.
WHO IS REALLY CALLING THE SHOTS?
I USED TO HAVE A LOT OF
CRITICISM ABOUT WHAT'S REALLY
GOING ON.
ED:
THE PRESIDENT'S VIEW OF
MICHAEL FLYNN AT THE PRESENT
CONFERENCE WOULD DOES CONTRAST
THAT WITH THE ACTION.
>> TRUMP CAN NEVER ADMIT THAT
HE'S WRONG.
THIS GUY IS ONE OF THE SHORTEST
APPOINTEES IN THE HISTORY
OF THE UNITED STATES.
JANET: THERE'S QUESTIONS OVER
WHETHER THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY
IS WITHHOLDING INFORMATION.
>>
THE CHALLENGE HERE IS IF YOU
ARE FO TRUMP'S POSITIONS AND
POLICIES COME IF YOU WANT HIM TO
CHANGE IMMIGRATION AND CUT
REGULATION AND REFORM TAXES --
THOSE PEOPLE WILL BE HELD UP
BECAUSE OF THIS INTERNAL
FOOLISHNESS IN WASHINGTON.
IT MIGHT BLOCK IS VERY OWN
AGENDA.
JANET: ELIZABETH WARREN
DEMANDING A CONGRESSIONAL
INVESTIGATION INTO THE TRUMP AND
RUSSIAN TIES.

HOUSE REPUBLICANS PUSH AWAY FROM
HIM VERY QUICKLY.
ED: LET'S MOVE ON TO LOCAL
ISSUES.
WE'VE HAD A COUPLE MAJOR
SNOWSTORMS.
THE
MBTA HAS STOOD UP TO THE
WEATHER SO FAR.
IS THIS A DECIDING FACTOR FOR
VOTERS DOWN THE ROAD IN 2018?

Interior Mapping: Drone Deliveries, Emergency Rescue, and Smart Homes | Avideh Zakhor - Duration: 3:49.
Avideh Zakhor: I live in Berkeley and I've been living there for 30 years and I know
all the streets and how to get to my home and my work.
But I still use Google Maps because at any point in time you don't know the amount
of traffic between where you are and where you want to go, and which one of the many
routes available to you has an accident or a slowdown or too many other people are going
on.
The value of exterior mapping is I think by now pretty well understood by the public.
Interiors you can argue less about people getting lost and traffic and stuff like that.
But imagine package delivery like Amazon going to deliver our packages through drones all
the way to the exterior of our building.
But then you wanted the last mile of delivering those same things into different offices or
apartments inside a building, and that would also require mapping.
So the idea is to make the interior mapping be seamlessly integrated with exterior mapping
so that you can have true end-to-end connectivity between different points.
All of us, through this amazing device we carry with ourselves, cell phones, are continuously
collecting signals and images and data about our surrounding.
Whether or not we know it and whether or not we like it we're doing that unconsciously
all the time.
Through crowdsourcing, so if you get the aggregate of all the people who are going into all these
indoor spaces you have the potential to map every indoor space.
The typical cell phone has over 40 sensors.
There's accelerometers, gyroscopes, barometers, thermometers, Wi-Fi signal, Bluetooth, all
kinds of RF signal gathering capability.
I hate to say it but a lot of it are being tracked because to use a lot of the applications
on your phone you allowed the company that sold you the phone to collect that information.
And that's almost synonymous with mapping.
So those could be used in order to map the interiors.
These very same people whose crowdsourced data you used to map, you can use that same
information to locate people.
When there is an emergency – either an earthquake, fire or anything like that the first responders
will have a lot easier time knowing where people are and knowing how to rescue people.
And just having more information is always useful.
The other positive thing in terms of knowing where you are iand how many people are where
and knowing the maps is this idea of smart buildings.
You can control the many, many sensors and actuators that are inside the building to
your liking.
So suppose that I like the temperature in my office to be no warmer than 64.
Just because there's a map and because they know where I am, that I'm not in my office,
there's not going to be any cold HVAC air being pumped into it.
That saves energy.
And when a day that I'm not working in my office but working in the conference room
across the hall from my office the same temperature preferences can be applied to that room.
Localizing people enables them to be more comfortable and more in tune with the environment
that they're in.
And it could result in potential energy savings inside buildings if that information is readily
available.

DIREWOLVES IN ASOIAF AND WOLVES IN SLAVIC FOLKLORE - Duration: 7:47.
Hello, my name is Goran and Welcome to another video segment that I like to call Lupus in
Fabula.
Today we are going to talk about similarities and differences between wolf (or direwolf)
warging in George RR Martin's series A Song Of Ice And Fire, or Game of Thrones series,
and wolf shapeshifting in mythologies, primarily in Slavic folklore.
So, don't go anywhere this is going to be interesting… hopefully.
In George RR Martin's series humans can shapeshift into other animals, but wolves
are, as it was mentioned in "Dance with dragons", different.
They are harder to slip into, but if you do, the bond between the two of you is stronger
then with any other animal.
As Haggon says in Prologue of Dance With Dragons: Wolves were harder.
A man might befriend a wolf, even break a wolf, but no man could truly tame a wolf.
"Wolves and women wed for life," Haggon often said.
"You take one, that's a marriage.
The wolf is part of you from that day on, and you're part of him.
Both of you will change."
In Bulgaria for instance, there is a belief which states that if wolf and man were born
on the same day, they will die at the same time as well.
Wolf always played significant role in Slavic mythology.
The magical practice of the Slavs is connected to wolves as well, whether it's about protection
rituals, astral or ethereal projection or rituals for the cult of the ancestors.
According to Veselin Čajkanović, the wolf is the mythical ancestor of the Serbian people.
The belief that the wolf is animalistic ancestor of Serbs manifested itself in many traditions
and ceremonies.
For instance, when a son is born, the announcement of his birth in the village would go like
this: "Of the she-wolf a wolf is borne!"
All of this goes to show how strong was (and maybe still is) connection between people
and wolves, and that connection, which I think is similar to the bond between direwolves
or any wolves and humans in ASOIAF, is something I will focuse on in this video.
In legends, and myths and tales often there are a lot of variations, a lot of overlapping
of stories, so in this case we must take into account that sometimes in some stories and
customs of Slavic people – wolves, warewolves and vampires were the same creature.
In Montenegro and Dalmacia they actually called vampires wolves.
They believed that when a person rises from the grave he or she turns into wolf.
In some cases just the soul of the deceist may enter wolf.
That part of the belief is more closer to the warging ability in ASOIF and Game of thrones,
where, as it seems, person only takes control of the mind of the direwolf while their body
remains the same.
Wolf is In slavic folklore, in some oral naratives, related to, or even identified with death.
There is one naration from the middle of the 19th century in Lonja (Croatian Posavlje)
that describes how death comes upon sinners
When a [sinful] man is dying, death rushes to him on dragon's
wings; following it permanently are six dire hounds, hungry
like the grey wolves in the woods (…). When it arrives at the
house, it sits down on the fence and gapes like a vainglorious
wolf.
(…). The man gasps, his soul appears [from his mouth],
the hounds grab it, and in the sack it goes
There is great article on associations of wolves with death and the world of the dead
by Pieter Plas.
I will put the link in the description if you want to read it.
You can (although this one is a bit of a stretch) connect this Slavic associations of wolves
with death, with wolf dreams in Martin's series.
There, we find, usually Starks having dreams in which they are direwolves.
So far we havent seen all the Stark children using the warg ability, although, according
to HIM all the children have it to one extent or
another.
"I don't think this is necessarily a 'Stark' ability, though all the children have it to
one extent or another."
Bran and Arya are said to be the strongest wargs, Jon with them there of course.
It is unclear from all versions of the belief in Slavic mythology whether all humans have
a potential to become wolves after death.
Or is it reserved specially for sinners, as we found out from that earlier mentioned narrative.
In that case turning into wolf, or appearance of wolf as the death itself, was considered
as a sort of a punishment.
Where as in Game of thrones, when Starks are warging they usually do it, as it seems, to
connect with one another… or try to anyway Take this part for example from Clash of Kings
where Jon has a wolf dream
When he closed his eyes, he dreamed of direwolves.
(…) The forest was vast and cold, and they were
so small, so lost.
His brothers were out there somewhere, and his sister, but he had lost their scent.
He sat on his haunches and lifted his head to the darkening sky, and his cry echoed through
the forest, a long lonely mournful sound.
A few chapters later, Arya when she was trying to figure out how to escape harenhall, heard
the howl far far off, beyond the godswood and the haunted
towers and the immense stone walls of Harrenhal, from somewhere out in the world, came the
long lonely howl of a wolf.
Not only bond between brothers and sisters in the Stark family is important in the context
of their warging abilities, but also, I think, connection to the Old gods.
As we saw from that previous quote, In the godswood she found her broomstick sword
where she had left it, and carried it to the heart tree.
There she knelt.
Red leaves rustled.
Red eyes peered inside her.
The eyes of the gods.
"Tell me what to do, you gods," she prayed She was asking guidence from the old gods,
and after that in her sleep that same night, she could warg Nymeria for the first time.
After slow fading of the magic in that world, and almost being completely forgotten, Martin
had put, I believe, warging, and direwolves in general, as a sort of guardians of the
border between Old and New ways In a similar way, as it was analyzed by Ljubinko
Radenković in his investigation of the symbolic world model of South Slavic folk magic, wolf
in the believes of South Slavs is linked to the border between two worlds (the human and
the wild).
And as Radenković points out „deviant individuals who did not succeed in making the transition
to the other world can turn into him, as can those who have the magical power of metamorphosis
(...)"
Although there is no doubt that there are some differences between the old believes
of Slavic people and the world that GRRM created - the importance of wolves or direwolves,
and their connection with humans, included in both worlds, is something I found interesting.
Hope you will too.
That's all for now, thank you for watching.
