Jitka Svobodová - Duration: 16:57.
Well, I must say I had a beautiful childhood.
This is perhaps important for your whole life.
If you have to cope with difficult situations in your life, like everyone does,
there is still something beautiful inside,
and you can hang on to it.
I had an idyllic childhood although me and my brother were born in 1941,
during the war.
But the spirit of the First Republic was still alive,
it was regarded as the Golden Age,
Then came the year 1948, I was at school already,
and the communists came.
Me and my brother were proletarian,
because the regime changed completely.
We were the so-called Gottwald´s youth,
we were expected to join the Union of Socialist Youth,
well, nobody would believe it today.
But I must say that they didn´t manage to disrupt family ties,
although they were drumming various nonsense into our heads.
I think what is also important is to avoid accepting what you do not want to accept.
If you make a compromise once, you´ll make it the second time.
And then you have no self-respect.
I think it´s good to stay strong inside.
I started drawing when I was a little girl.
Mainly horses.
Horses awoke my interest in art,
I attended art classes
and I also enjoyed sport.
My friends couldn´t understand how an artist can also be a sportsman.
I was interested in landscape,
I used to take my cross-country skis
and was outdoors from the morning until the evening.
When you wander around the country and see how the colours change,
and the shadows, that´s really amazing.
It was no problem for me.
The sky and the fog, sometimes I couldn´t even see the tips of my skis.
It was wonderful.
In 1961, when I began studying at the Academy, I gave up sports.
At the Academy of Arts you gain technical skills,
you develop mature thinking,
but you really mature only after some kind of life experience.
Everybody tends to present himself slightly differently than he really is,
and a certain life experience makes you come to terms with yourself.
You suddenly realize you are somewhere else.
That´s what I think.
I graduated in 1967 and a year later the country was occupied.
The majority of my schoolmates emigrated, only about three stayed.
They all fled the country.
After graduation you become a free lance artist.
In those days you could only go to Mrs Velenská in Platýz gallery,
who either sold your painting or didn´t.
There were no other opportunities actually.
If you wanted to teach, you had to be politically reliable.
So after eight years I decided I had to study restoration work
for three more years, so that I could make a living.
This was after my father had a heart attack
and my mother was thrown out of work.
At that time I worked with my colleague
making a huge ceramic relief for the funeral hall in Louny.
The parts were really heavy and so I strained my back.
It took two years before my back was right again.
It was simply too much.
You suddenly lose you juvenile ideas about the world of art
and you see the plain reality,
you stand with your feet on the ground.
This was a real turning point in my work
and I decided to stop drawing, because it didn´t make sense,
and I had to make a living.
Surprisingly, by deciding to stop drawing
something inside me mobilized and I began doing small drawings.
After restoring all day I was looking forward
to coming home in the evening and to start drawing.
When I was restoring I was always climbing up a scaffolding
and instead of looking at the paintings I was restoring
I was looking at the scaffolding and the tubes.
First I didn´t give much weight to it.
If you gain something, if you enjoy it, so that is a good base for your work.
Those drawings opened a completely new era in my work.
I still draw today.
That means it wasn´t anything marginal.
I think it stemmed from my life situation.
I feel that work must be linked with your life.
Life penetrates into art work.
And gives it weight.
After 1990 I began teaching.
Milan Knížák founded at the Academy of Arts a new Studio of Drawing
which turned out to be favorable for me.
I must say it was a beautiful period.
Students were enthusiastic, everybody was eager to work.
We wanted to make up for the lost twenty years,
to catch up with art in the world,
we travelled abroad a lot,
but all that has changed now.
Enthusiasm has faded away,
times have changed.
In fact I don´t really like conceptual art.
I was always fascinated in art how important the first glance was.
Naturally, then you go deeper.
But the first glance already has something to say.
I always found this fascinating.
I don´t want to get to an idea in a complicated way,
there is a concept everywhere,
every painting, every drawing needs a concept,
but that is only about a concept,
and that´s not enough for me.
I don´t think about the viewer,
I deal with my own problem,
I can´t think about the viewer.
It´s for people who are used to art.
Of course, nowadays there are different types of super-realism,
but I just stem from the line I always inclined to.
I think I don´t change much.
I get up at eight in the morning,
I have breakfast and do some exercises
then I go to my studio,
and I stay there until half past one.
For me the morning is the most productive time.
I work only during day light.
It´s a quiet, peaceful place here, I don´t even have a mobile.
I come here and work until half past one,
later I have less energy,
I can do other kind of work, more mechanical.
Objects for instance. But I can´t continue drawing.
I need a bit of distance.
I try to go to my studio daily.
I find continuity important.
Continuity of thinking.
You can easily drop out of it.
But distance is important, too. You need to see the thing differently.
I have a house in Senohraby and I go there regularly, even in winter,
every weekend, at least for one day.
In summer I work all day long, except for lunchtime.
But I really enjoy it and I find balance here.
Manual work outdoors, in the fresh air.
That´s wonderful.
This always puts me in a really good mood.
The present? I have mixed feelings when thinking about the present.
For me it´s like a jungle, nowadays economic growth is a priority.
We´re going to produce more and cheaper goods,
and people somehow lose their personalities,
but in fact you don´t need much in life.
If you sort out your life properly, so you don´t need to buy many things.
Supporting culture is also important.
Patočka would say: Care for the Soul.
Of course there are many advantages, and we got used to them.
But life is more difficult nowadays because of its fast pace,
and everything keeps changing.
Everything is different.
And I think that this is a bit tiring,
but in the past we got used to the fact that nothing was happening.
For twenty or forty years.
I think this is normal for very young people.
And old people have to adjust to it.
I must admit that for me the totalitarian regime was not such a catastrophe,
because I´m an introvert.
I didn´t need an eventful life around me.
When something turns out well that´s always a reward for me.
You feel that something new was created, which perhaps surprised you.
That´s rewarding and you feel joy.
Exhibitions don´t make me feel genuinely happy
because I always see my work completely differently.
When creating new works, you are closely connected to them.
You really see them differently at an exhibition.
When your work keeps developing, that´s also a reward.
You can continue working and you keep gaining something.
My schoolmates emigrated,
just a few of them stayed here
but I no longer see them.
I don´t think they earn their living as artists.
Life has sort of gobbled them up.
And those who emigrated, not all of them, didn´t really catch on abroad.
I believe that my roots are here,
and I need them.
The places where I grew up, including Senohraby, are very precious for me,
I need them.
Only now I know it, in the past I didn´t realize that.
Now I realize it all.

DOLCE & GABBANA MAKEUP UNBOXING AND REVIEW FOR DARK SKIN | ACIERO - Duration: 7:06.
you're watching ACIERO in Amsterdam
and today I'm back again with an unboxing video
today we are going to unbox some makeup
I purchased in Paris at the Dolce Gabbana counter
so I'm very happy to present to you my lovely lovely lovely fast
favorite purchase
I just put on this lipstick
a few seconds ago the color you
see on my lips is this lipstick
it's called dolce lover and I am in love with
my dolce lover
the thing is with this dolce love
it's got me believing that
matte lipstick can also work for me
I have been longing every time
I go to a makeup count and on a try on matte lipstick
it never works for me
I'm always disappointed that it just makes
my face very dull and not shinny
and I love shiny lips and with colors
and the other thing is I have a two tone lip
so I always need lipstick that does have some coverage
you know very thick coverage so
that covers both of the tones that I don't look like I'm wearing two to two
colors of lipsticks on my lips sometimes you think I'm wearing
two colors because one lip maybe lighter than the other or something but
it's no because of that is because I have a two tone lips
it's sometimes sexy and sometimes it's not
so for me to find a lipstick that really
goes with my lips is very difficult but
I'm so happy with dolce lover it's covering and it's very
very beautiful the color is really nice and it's matte and it's a matte that
doesn't really look like Matte it doesn't shine
but it also gives you like this nice finish
that is very very very cool you know I can't explain it
I'm in love I think it goes for 35 36 euros
so the other thing I picked up
from this store is the perfect mono eyes shadow
and it's colour royal blue and
this royal blue has been lovely too
I love it it's one of the limited editions
that were I think being sold last year this season a collection from the
Christmas season and it's royal blue and it's very beautiful and if you want to
check out the looks of created with both this and the lipstick
check out my Instagram
and you'll find out how I look with the lipstick and the eye shadow
combined together and I also bought something that's not really new the
collection I bought an eye pencil and this pencil could also be used as an eye
shadow on eyeliner and its color number three it's called peacock
and this peacock is really nice I think the color is not exactly like the royal blue
but it's similar to the royal blue other products
I purchased last and I think yeah the last product
last but not least I choose only last
for the tempest purchased in Paris but this the last product I purchased at
the dolce & gabbana counter
and that's the blush and I think it's the tropical coral
it's called tropical coral and that's very beautiful for dark skin at
least my complexion I have a complexion that's between very dark and chocolate
so it's very difficult to find colors that match my skin
so when I find a color that works for me I stick with it
I remember the first time I bought this
- I think I think two years ago I went to Paris and bought myself this blush
when I was there I'd never believed in blush before
but when this girl at the Dolce & Gabbana counter
did my cheeks and told me I think she thought blush
was something for me
she tried on this colour tropical coral and she convinced
me that this color was really really really a perfect color for me I was not
doubtful because I went home with a smile on my face and I still wear this
blush it was apparently over
so I decided to purchase a new one
and new eyeliner or pencil to use as eyeliner
and also to the dolce & Gabbana collection
I added my mono perfect cream eyeshadow and dolce lover lipstick
which I'm in love with at the moment so for most of you who have been
wondering what and where I have been and what I am doing with my makeup I have
been looking for new look to show you on instagram when I'm posing for all
those photos with the scarves and looking all great so stay tuned for more
you know photos on Instagram and also stay tuned for videos here where I will
be and you see me wearing this collection maybe not all of it but I'll
be wearing the lipstick that's for sure and if you are wondering and have

Milken Educator Award Winner - Kristen Lents - Duration: 12:58.
Hello Harris Academy.
I am proud to say that I am a Hoosier too, having been a teacher and a principal in Indiana
for 24 years.
So its great to be back home again in Indiana.
As you just heard my name is Jane Foley and now I work at the Milken Family Foundation
in Santa Monica California.
Alright, so, you probably don't know anything about the Milken Family Foundation, but the
foundation knows a lot about you.
Oh yes.
Even in California we heard about your school, your staff.
And my job, I travel around the whole country visiting schools, but this is our only stop
in the state.
And I heard you have great students here at Harris.
Is it true?
Yes.
Then I'm glad that I just traveled 2000 miles to hear it from you first hand.
Now you know people are watching.
They are watching you at the state capitol, they are watching you in Washington D.C. and
we're watching you in California as well.
So congratulations.
Keep it up.
Now I'm here for two reasons.
I came first to communicate a very important message and second, to share some exciting
news that we've been keeping a secret.
The message is about the critical role that teachers and principals play in our society.
At the Milken foundations we believe educators have the most important job in our country,
because they have the responsibility of preparing all of you for a bright future.
Research and our own personal experience tell us that the single most important education
element determining how much you will learn in school is the quality of the educators
you encounter each year.
Think for just a moment about all your favorite teachers.
The good teachers, they make a difference.
And in the spirit of paying tribute to the importance of educators I'd like to take a
moment right now to acknowledge the facility here at Harris for the work you are doing
every day.
Could all the teachers and all the staff, your director, your superintendent, teachers
and staff, please stand for a round of applause.
Thank you.
Those are the people that are working so hard every day to give you the education that you
need to succeed.
Well, that applause was probably appreciated, but we don't clap and hold ceremonies for
educators very often.
We recognize excellence in the other professions.
The best athletes get most valuable player awards, Heisman Trophy.
Entertainers have Golden Globes, Emmys, Oscars.
In science and medicine there are Nobel Prizes.
But our educators who have the most important job of all, teaching all the people who are
getting all the other awards and teaching all of you, they haven't had that kind of
celebration.
Thats wrong.
And the people at the Milken Foundation set out to change that.
Thats why 30 years ago, a man named Lowell Milken created a program to honor outstanding
educators.
The program is called Milken Educator Award.
And the Milken Award says in a very public way, that greatness in education should be
recognized too.
That outstanding educators are the backbone of every distinguished school, and only if
we elevate the teaching profession will talented young people like you will here at Harris
will consider a career in education.
One teacher during his or her career has the power to positively influence 1000's of young
peoples lives.
If you want to help shape the future we ask you to think about becoming a teacher.
And that brings me to the exciting news.
This school year we've been going all over the country presenting Milken Awards to outstanding
educators.
And there are many great teachers and principals in this country.
You can believe me when I say that because I've been everywhere and I've met 100's, 1000's
of talented educators.
But on of the best teachers in the entire country is here, in your school.
And before we leave a teacher at Harris is going to receive this national award.
Its the only one in Indiana this year and the Milken Award is so prestigious, its called
the Oscars of teaching.
So now that you know that we're here to present a national award to a teacher for excellence
you might want to know, okay, what does it mean, what does the teacher get.
That a good question.
The first thing the teacher gets is one big surprise because you cant apply, we don't
accept nominations, you don't find us, we find you.
We look, we search, we go all over the country to find the best of the best.
And the best of the best for the Milken Award also means that the teacher has the potential
to be a leader in education for decades to come and the teacher is an unsung hero doing
extraordinary things but relatively unknown beyond your school and district.
That will change today.
Because the teacher gets is a lot of celebration and a lot of recognition.
Evidence by all the distinguished guests that are here, and the U.S. Congressman is here,
and the media is here to cover it.
But most importantly all of you are here to see it, out of class.
And the reason you are here out of class is because we want you to remember the message
about the importance of educators.
Next, the teacher joins a team.
This is the elite, all-star education team.
With the other distinguished educators that received the Milken Award.
And the teacher will join us in Washington D.C. this March to meet with the other Milken
Educators and work together to improve education across the entire country.
And there is something else.
The teacher will receive a financial award.
What is it if you get a finical award?
Its money, its money, that finical award means money.
Just imagine if you went to the mailbox one day and there was a check that was sent just
to you say "thank you for your excellence".
So lets find out how much the check will be.
I think I have some students that were selected before the program to help.
Could the students that were selected come forward to help.
(sound of school bell ringing) You don't have to go back to class yet.
So you head that my name was Jane Foley so lets start out with some introductions.
Do you
like Math.
Yeah.
Good, because just imagine if you were going to take a pop math quiz in front of the whole
school.
So we'll do fine.
We've got some cards, we've got some people, were going to display some cards, you going
to help us, its kinda like a little math problem here.
You're going to help us determine how much the finical award will be.
Lets start with a few cards.
So lets come around here and see what we have.
So what do we have?
$250.
Okay, you are exactly right.
So what do you think about $250?
That a decent bit of money.
Its a decent, yeah I agree, its decent.
Ok, so, should we stop?
No.
Okay, so we think it decent but its not...
Go higher.
Go a little higher, okay I like your attitude.
Alright so we have another person standing there and they have another card, so do you
think we should use the last card?
I think we should.
Alright, lets use the last card.
Alright, so what do we have?
$2500.
We have $2500.
Would you want someone from the Milken Foundation to come to Harris and present $2500 to a teacher?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
(sound of school bell ringing) You still do have to go back to class.
Let me think, didn't I say earlier that this is one of the best teachers in the entire
country?
Yes you do.
I did say that, so Chief of Staff could you find one more '0'.
Thats a lot of money!
$25000.
Thats a lot of money, its $25000 and the teacher can use the money any way that he or she chooses.
We wish at the Milken Foundation we could come to Harris and present the Milken Award
to all the teachers that have done so much to make this a very unique place to learn
but there is only one in Indiana.
So we did find an individual to represent the excellence of your school, the state and
the whole country.
Would you like to know who it is?
Okay!
Lets find out.
Its such an honor to be back in Indiana and help present and announce the newest recipient
of the Milken Educator Award.
May I have the envelope.
The Milken Educator Award goes to Kristen Lents!
So I bet you would like to hear from Ms. Lents.
The guest of honor.
Oh gosh.
Well, thank you so much.
I just have a few thoughts running around in my head.
First, I'm so humbled to be standing here.
When I think of the amazing people that I work with every day, truly they have become
like a family and I think every single one of them could be standing up here in my place.
I really believe that.
So I'm so thankful to work here with those people.
I think that this is a special moment for me.
I was just sharing this weekend about how I never dreamt of doing anything other than
being a teacher.
Those were my earliest memories as a kid.
I grew up writing all of my teachers notes, asking for any of their spare school supplies,
asking them to please give them to me.
I mean, multiple notes, these teachers were probably like "dude, chill out".
I use to save up all my money all year for my mom to take me to the teacher supply store.
Yeah, it was a thing, this is my dream and I get to live it and I'm so thankful for that.
And then to work a Harris has been even a bigger dream come true.
Honestly, all of you students out there, I love coming to work every day, I say it, I
tell Miss Martin every break that I'm ready to go back to work.
And she is just like "oh, I just want a few more days of break" and I'm like "Noooo, its
Monday, its time to work".
I literally go to bed excited to come to work, its this beautiful thing and I love my interactions
with you guys and I love what I do and I'm so thankful.

Your Nose Shape Says A LOT About You! Personality Test | Face Reading - Duration: 4:20.
Hello my beauties! So I've talked a lot about
how your acne and your lip color can tell you about
your health, and I also talked about what your eyebrows
reveal about your personality, today I will be sharing
with you what your nose say about you
as I mentioned before, face reading is very common
in traditional Chinese culture, it is a way of telling
your fortune, and that is exactly why you often
hear elderly people say do not change the features
on your face or don't get plastic surgery
because you may ultimately change your fortune
according to three thousand-year-old practice
of facial reading, your face can tell the story
about the rest of your life. Some say that
the forehead tells you about your 20s
the eye tells you about your 30s, your nose tell you
about the 40s and your mouth is a 50s
and of course you work further down your chin
is your 60s and then gradually your jaw is your 70
in Chinese face reading the nose is regarded
as the reflection of your wealth
it is the money spot, especially during the
age of 41 to 50 years old, so to break it down
even further, the bridge of the nose represents
the health, whereas the tip represents the wealth
fun fact number one, for a woman her nose can
indicate her husband's ability to make money
before we begin I must always remind everyone
that this may not be a hundred percent accurate
as you know, similar to Chinese zodiacs and horoscopes
we should just take everything with a grain of salt
so now let's begin, if you have a large nose
which means your nose stands out on your face
more than other features then you are considered
a perfectionist, you get easily bored with systematic
or repetitive work, and you like to be your own boss
not a big fan of receiving orders
and also very critical of yourself, the upside is that
you are very good with other people
and your 40s is or will be a very powerful time
for you. Okay if you have like a round cushiony nose
you definitely hit the jackpot, the bigger the meaty it is
the greater luck and wealth you have
you also like to know everything that's going on
around you, on the other hand if you have like a
bulging nose with like a bulbous tip
you are considered to be an indulgent sort of person
who likes the finer things in life. Fun fact number two
the word nosy kind of reflects the
Chinese face reading because someone who wants
to know everything is considered nosy
All right so if you have like an average nose then
you're lucky, in fact the more perfectly shaped their
noses the more positive your forties will be
you're often known as the high achiever, you want to do
everything right without fail, now if you have like a
small petite nose you are considered a kind and friendly
person, you love life and you want to settle down
and have a family, you can also be quite reserved
and shy, but you are very detail-oriented
okay now people with straight noses are honest, reliable
disciplined and loyal, they often appear successful
but it may not actually be the case. People with a
broad nose or like a wide nose are known
to be spontaneous, extravagant and very very social
they can also be quite sensual and
sometimes indecisive, they may also have like
a wide range of hobbies and interests
so they might like things from one spectrum to the other
now for the ones with a cleft nose
they have difficulties in committing to long term
relationships and may also be considered selfish
and dishonest, if you have folds or lines on your nose
then you are considered to be tough
a little hard to please and slightly demanding
and obviously the lines on your nose are
not wrinkles they're just they're like you're born with it
because otherwise all old people will be demanding
actually makes sense, old people are demanding
so for those who have eagle shaped nose
they usually think about themselves first
and they need to feel important and respected
they like to take advantage of other people
sometimes or different situations as well
fun fact number three, so if your nostrils are visible
from the front that means you can be very good

Ischemic Stroke - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology - Duration: 13:40.
There are two main types of stroke: an ischemic stroke which is when there's a blocked artery
that reduces blood flow to the brain and a hemorrhagic stroke which is when an artery
in the brain breaks, creating a pool of blood that damages the brain.
Of the two, ischemic strokes are much more common, and the amount of damage they cause
is related to the parts of the brain that are affected and how long the brain suffers
from reduced blood flow.
Now if symptoms self-resolve within 24 hours, it's called a transient ischemic attack
and there are usually minimal long-term problems.
OK - let's start with some basic brain anatomy.
The brain has a few regions - the most obvious is the cerebrum, which is divided into two
cerebral hemispheres, each of which has a cortex - an outer region - divided into four
lobes including the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and the occipital lobe.
There are also a number of additional structures - including the cerebellum, which is down
below, as well as the brainstem which connects to the spinal cord.
The right cerebrum controls muscles on the left side of your body and vice versa.
The frontal lobe controls movement, and executive function, which is our ability to make decisions.
The parietal lobe processes sensory information, which lets us locate exactly where we are
physically and guides movements in a three dimensional space.
The temporal lobe plays a role in hearing, smell, and memory, as well as visual recognition
of faces and languages.
Finally there's the occipital lobe which is primarily responsible for vision.
The cerebellum helps with muscle coordination and balance.
And finally there's the brainstem plays a vital role in functions like heart rate,
blood pressure, breathing, gastrointestinal function, and consciousness.
The brain receives blood from the left and right internal carotid arteries, as well as
the left and right vertebral arteries, which come together to form the basilar artery.
The internal carotid arteries turn into the left and right middle cerebral arteries which
serve the lateral portions of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes of the brain.
Each of the internal carotid arteries also give off branches called the anterior cerebral
arteries which serve the medial portion of the frontal and parietal lobes and connect
with one another with a short little connecting blood vessel called the anterior communicating
artery.
Meanwhile, the vertebral arteries and basilar artery gives off branches to supply the cerebellum
and the brainstem.
In addition, the basilar artery divides to become the right and left posterior cerebral
artery which mainly serve the occipital lobe and some of the temporal lobe as well as the
thalamus.
Finally, the internal carotid arteries each give off a branch called the posterior communicating
artery which attaches to the posterior arteries on each side.
So together, the main arteries and the communicating arteries complete what is called the Circle
of Willis - a ring where blood can circulate from one side to the other in case of a blockage.
The Circle of Willis offers alternative ways for blood to get around an obstructed vessel.
In general, the brain can get by on diminished blood flow - especially when it happens gradually
because that allows enough time for collateral circulation to develop, which is where a nearby
vessel starts sending out branches of blood vessels to serve an area that's in need.
But once the supply of blood flow is reduced to below the needs of the tissue - it causes
tissue damage, which we call an ischemic stroke.
There are two main ways that an ischemic stroke happens.
One mechanism is endothelial cell dysfunction, which is when something irritates or inflames
the slippery inner lining of the artery—the tunica intima.
One classic irritant is the toxins found in tobacco which float around in the blood damaging
the endothelium.
That damage becomes a site for atherosclerosis, which is where a plaque forms.
This is when a buildup of fat, cholesterol, proteins, calcium, and immune cells forms
and starts to obstruct arterial blood flow.
This plaque has two parts to it, the soft cheesy-textured interior and the hard outer
shell which is called the fibrous cap.
Branch points in arteries and particularly the internal carotid and middle cerebral arteries
are the most common spots for atherosclerosis.
Usually, though, it takes years for plaque to build up, and this slow blockage only partially
blocks the arteries, and so even though less blood makes it to brain tissue, there's
still some blood.
So Strokes happen when there's a sudden and complete or near-complete blockage of
an artery—so let's see how that can happen.
Since plaques sit in the lumen of the blood vessel, they're constantly being stressed
by mechanical forces from blood flow, and interestingly it's often the smaller plaques
that are more dangerous.
Their fibrous caps are softer than the larger ones and are prone to getting ripped off.
Once that happens, the inner cheesy filling is exposed to the blood and is thrombogenic,
which means that it tends to form clots very quickly.
Platelets adhere to the exposed cheesy material, and they release chemicals that enhance the
clotting process.
Within a minute that artery can be fully blocked.
Another mechanism for ischemic stroke formation is an embolism.
An embolic stroke typically happens when a blood clot breaks off from one location, travels
through the blood, and gets lodged in an artery downstream, typically an artery, arteriole,
or capillary with a smaller diameter.
These blood clots typically emerge from atherosclerosis, but they can also form in the heart.
For example stagnant blood can form a clot, and blood can stagnate due to an atrial fibrillation
or after a heart attack.
If a clot forms in the left atrium, it moves into the left ventricle and from there it
has a direct route to the brain.
On the other hand, if a clot forms in the low-pressure veins or right atrium, then it
goes into the right ventricle and gets lodged in the pulmonary capillaries - with no way
of getting to the brain.
An important exception is if a person has a heart defect like an atrial septal defect
that allows blood and potentially a blood clot to wander from the right side of the
heart over to the left side of the heart.
In that situation, a venous or right atrial blood clot will have bypassed the pulmonary
circulation and established a route to the brain.
One specific type of ischemic stroke is called a lacunar stroke, and they typically involve
the deep branches of the middle cerebral artery that feed the basal ganglia.
Lacunar refers to "lake", and is called that since after a lacunar stroke the damaged
brain tissue develops fluid filled pockets called cysts that look like little lakes under
a microscope.
Lacunar strokes classically develop as a result of hyaline arteriolosclerosis which is when
the arteriole wall gets filled with protein.
This can happen as a result of hypertension or diabetes, and can make the artery wall
quite thick, reducing the size of the lumen.
In addition to problems specific to an artery, something like shock can lead to a reduction
in blood flow throughout the entire body.
In these cases, the tissues that are the furthest downstream are affected the most.
This is because healthy tissue continues to extract what it needs from the blood flowing
by, leaving little or no oxygen and nutrients for the tissue furthest away.
The "furthest downstream" tissues in the brain are at the border of two different blood
supplies.
When the blood flow throughout the body is diminished for any reason, they get damaged,
and this pattern of injury is called a watershed infarct.
Regardless of the mechanism of an ischemic stroke, it's helpful to remember that there's
an ischemic core, which is the brain tissue that will likely die from ischemia, and then
there's tissue around the core, called the ischemic penumbra, which is preserved for
a period of time by collateral circulation and has a chance to survive if blood flow
is restored quickly enough.
Regardless of the type of ischemic stroke, without a steady supply of glucose and oxygen,
cells run out of energy within minutes and you get a high buildup of sodium and calcium
levels.
High sodium levels draws water into the cell making it swell, this is called cytotoxic
edema.
And high calcium leads to the buildup of reactive oxygen radicals that react with lipids in
the membranes of mitochondria and lysosomes.
Damage to these organelles allows apoptosis-inducing factors and degradative enzymes to seep out
of the cell.
Over a period of 4-6 hours, immune cells begin to haul away damaged cells and the resulting
inflammation damages the blood brain barrier allowing fluid and proteins to get into the
brain tissue causing swelling or vasogenic edema.
Because the skull creates a fixed volume the swelling leads to a mass effect where the
swollen brain tissue pushes into the unaffected side of the brain-called cingulate or uncal
herniation, or slips down and out of the base of the skull - called cerebellar tonsil herniation,
which is particularly dangerous because it can push onto the brainstem and affect breathing
and consciousness.
Stroke symptoms depend on the exact part of the brain that is affected.
For example, an anterior or middle cerebral artery stroke can cause numbness and sudden
muscle weakness.
If a stroke affects the Broca's area, which is usually in the left frontal lobe, or Wernicke's
area, which is usually in the left temporal lobe, then it can cause slurred speech or
difficulty understanding speech, respectively.
If there's a posterior cerebral artery stroke, then it can affect vision.
An acronym to remember some common stroke symptoms is FAST - Facial drooping, Arm weakness,
Speech difficulties, and Time.
Time is obviously not a symptom but just a reminder to get help as quickly as possible
to minimize cell injury and maximize the chance of a full recovery.
To diagnose and confirm the location and size of an ischemic stroke, medical imaging with
a CT or MRI can be used.
Also, angiography, which uses contrast injected into the blood, can help to visualize the
exact location where blood flow is blocked within an artery.
In addition, using FLAIR sequence MRIs, it's possible to distinguish a new stroke injury
from an old one.
In an ischemic stroke the ultimate treatment is to reestablish blood flow as quickly as
possible to prevent further cell death, particularly in the penumbra - every minute counts.
So thrombolytic enzymes, like tissue plasminogen activator or TPA, are used to activate the
body's natural clot busting mechanisms, but TPA does have a time limit of when it
can be used.
Aspirin is also used to prevent platelets from forming additional clots.
If TPA is unsuccessful, surgical procedures can be used that push a wire through the artery
and physically remove the clot.
In mechanical embolus removal in cerebral ischemia, called MERCI for short, the wire
grabs on to the clot and draws it out of the artery.
In suction removal, the wire is used to physically break down the clot and clot fragments are
removed with suction.
After a stroke has occurred, there is an elevated risk of having additional strokes so it's
important to minimize risk factors - the main one being quitting smoking, but others include
having a healthy blood pressure, normal LDL cholesterol levels, and controlling other
diseases like diabetes.
Occasionally, a surgery may be necessary to help clean arteries obstructed by severe atherosclerosis.
For example, in a carotid endarterectomy, the internal carotid artery is opened up and
atherosclerotic plaque is removed.
Alternatively, a stent may be placed to keep the artery opened up.
Okay, a quick recap: An ischemic stroke occurs when there's an acute decrease in the arterial
blood supply.
It can be due to atherosclerosis, a thrombus, an embolus,, or a global reduction in blood
flow.
The goal is to identify symptoms and reestablish blood flow to prevent long-term damage - to
remember this a common acronym is FAST - Facial drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulties,
and Time.

Rachel Carson: Conservationist in Action - Duration: 37:08.
Good afternoon my name is Diana Ziegler I am the Director of the
Department of the Interior Museum. It is my pleasure to welcome you here not
only to the Department of the Interior but specifically the Rachel Carson room
of course the namesake is the the wonderful Rachel Carson who
Mark Madison will be speaking on today
Mark has been with the US Fish and Wildlife Service as their historian since 1999
In that position he helps oversee the 500,000 objects in their collections
housed at the US Fish and Wildlife Service Museum and Archives in the
National Conservation training center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia prior to
that he taught at the University of Melbourne in Australia and Harvard
University. He has a PhD in history of science from Harvard and he also spent
three years of tropical reforestation as a Peace Corps volunteer in the
Philippines. Please help to welcome Mark Madison I appreciate you guys
coming out. I do feel compelled to let you know there is a Christmas party
going on simultaneously I don't think it's a conspiracy but I do feel guilty
as Diana noted I I've been in the agency long enough to remember when this room
was dedicated initially the rather awkwardly sounding Rachel Carson Large
Buffet Room as if Carson was a big fan of the Golden
Corral or horses and now it's it's more appropriately named the Rachel Carson
room so when Diana and Tracy were nice enough to invite me down to DC on the
the first snow day of the year we thought maybe Carson would be a good
topic since this is the venue for it and one of the things historians like to say and one of the things I like to say
so anyway everybody knows Carson everybody knows Silent Spring but very
few know she worked for the Department of Interior or for Fish & Wildlife
Service and its predecessor so I thought that'd be worth focusing on considering
where we are today and and since a few of you may be less familiar with Carson
than others let me just start with a brief overview of her federal career
Carson had already received a Bachelor of Arts in biology from Chatham
University and a master's in zoology from Johns Hopkins when in 1935 in the
midst of the depression she became the primary breadwinner for her extended
family because she had to financially support them she sought a job that
combined her love of writing and marine biology and she actually found the
perfect job in the Bureau of fisheries Would built upon both of these interests
which unfortunately for us was in the Department of Commerce. Department of
Interior but she'll make her way over here the Bureau of Fisheries in case you
don't know was founded in 1871 and it's the nation's first federal wildlife
conservation agency kinda at the cutting edge of fisheries science of its day
eventually it was moved from the Department of Commerce to the Department
of Interior in 1939 and then combined with the Bureau of biological survey in
1940 to create my agency the Fish & Wildlife Service and the best catch for
Interior at that point turned out to be Rachel Carson moving to Interior allowed
Carson for the first time to expand out of her exclusively marine ecosystems
with this broader purview she rose quickly in the newly minted Fish and
Wildlife Service, eventually becoming chief editor of our publications which
would in the modern equivalent would be like the Head of External Affairs with
the success of her popular second book The Sea Around Us in 1951. She was able
to leave the lucrative field of federal service and retire and that really ended
a symbiotic 16-year relationship with the federal government and this is just
to give you an overview before we delve into some of the more interesting parts
of her life. Ten years after her she retired from the federal government
Carson published a book that literally changed the world. The book most of us
know her for a Silent Spring and then she died of cancer two years after
its publication so what I'll do briefly is look at the importance of her period of
government service not just to say it's important because we all work for
Interior because we're here because Carson wouldn't have been Carson without
those 16 years of government service Diana nicely set me up by pointing out
I'm a historian of science and there's actually three areas of science that
we're trained to look at and I thought it'd be interesting just for this talk
to see if they apply to Rachel Carson and they might seem a bit old-fashioned
and a bit obscure compared to some things but these are things historians
of science are trained to look at probably the oldest one is scientific
patronage that is who supports science financially and that goes all the way
back to Galileo and Charles Darwin. Historians of science also think about
issues of how you translate science for the public right we don't just take
reams of data and just throw it out to the public and expect them to understand
it but we've had good scientific popularizers depending on your age you
may be more familiar with Jacques Cousteau or Neil deGrasse Tyson or Carl
Sagan and then the last thing historians of science are taught to look at is
networks of science who you're working with who your colleagues are some of you
may be with your colleagues today and how that impacts your science
so I thought it'd be interesting to take what I was trained to do when I used to
be a professor in history of science for many years and see how it applies to
Carson and if we can learn something new beyond what's written on the back of
this wall here which is kind of a padded obituary for Carson. So let's start with
patronage I once again I purposely took chose an old word just to get you
thinking because patronage truth be told is a word we associate more with Galileo
than Rachel Carson but of course Carson benefited from having steady employment
that supported her dreams and aspirations for someone who loved both
writing and the sea. Her work in the Bureau of Fisheries offered a unique
opportunity to practice what she loved and in fact in addition to being supported
financially she also rose and prospered during various reorganizations the Great
Depression and the Second World War all of this with a federal job that itself
wasn't so taxing that she couldn't create a number of publications at night
at home and this is really interesting although it's just a PowerPoint but
Carson was an insane workaholic and the amount of articles she published with
research he got out of the Department of Interior and the Fish and Wildlife
Service is mind-boggling one of my favorites is this Why Our Winters Are
Getting Warmer. She actually wrote this article in Popular Science about global
warming back in 1943 some of the other interesting ones are she wrote a lot of
articles as a stringer for the Baltimore Sun, Women's Home Daily readers I just
condensed the book The Sea Around Us she published a lot in popular periodicals
While Carson worked for the federal government she also published columns
regularly in the Baltimore Sun other periodicals and still had the spare time
to write two full-length books about the sea. She was paid adequately in a federal
job but not too well which was also critical
Carson's persistent need to support an increasingly extended family meant she
was always looking for freelance writing work and perhaps more attuned
than most scientists to the popular science that periodicals were willing to
pay for. Now although patronage seems mundane and
not as exciting as intellectual history clearly the need to eat drove Carson's
career interests and opportunities. In Carson's case we might all benefit from
heeding the words of that famous historian deep throat to follow the
money. Now let me move on to the second thing
historians are trained to look at translating science for the public- an
underappreciated skill for all our greatest scientists Carson was supported
and rewarded by her agency employers because she was that rarest of birds
herself someone who could translate science effectively for the public.
Carson's initial writing job for the Bureau of Fisheries was to create short
radio scripts on new and interesting aspects of marine biology called Romance
Under the Waters, a much sexier title than the contents actually supported. She
supplemented her contractors pay of six dollars and fifty cents a day by selling
off some of the same material as features in the Baltimore Sun for twenty
dollars an article Carson's work was part of a broader New Deal attempt to
use the popular media of the day, radio to explain the increasing federal role
in conservation and if you want to see an artifact from the early radio days
you can go to the DOI Museum where they have a very nice on-the-air light in
there. Radio really was the Internet of the 1930s. It was the way you could reach
the American public directly and we used it extensively
We still have LPs in my archive where some of these old radio scripts are.
Fascinating how Carson was good but not necessarily a natural at translating
conservation science into the public domain. One of her first assignments was
to create a brochure with the evocative title, The World of Waters and her
initial draft was far too literary for a government fish pamphlet so her editor
suggested she submit it to the Atlantic which he did with the new title, Undersea
in effect launching her professional career in 1937. I told you historians
like anniversaries, so this is the 80th anniversary of Carson's mature literary
career. In 1936 Carson was able to parlay her writing skills into a full-time job
as a junior aquatic biologist at the princely salary of 38 dollars and 48
cents a week. Her first job as a government scientist involved studying
the fisheries and wildlife nearby in the Chesapeake Bay region and then
publishing pamphlets and reports on at work
throughout her career Carson was tasked with the most difficult of literary
chores.She had to take raw data and complicated scientific analysis and then
translate that for public consumption. In 1940 Carson source material, as
I mentioned before, greatly expanded as the Bureau of Fisheries joined the
Biological Survey and suddenly her writing domain extended beyond merely
the finned to also include the furred and the feathered. With the expanded role
she also rose to become assistant biologist in 1942. However, Carson
remained primarily a writer in spite of her scientific title. Bureaucracies are
sometimes blind and despite having written the critically acclaimed and
well-received, Under the Seawind in 1941, Carson's writing talents were for many
years willfully underutilized in the Fish and Wildlife Service. She became
editor of our journal The Progressive Fish Culturalist and she created a
series of conservation bulletins called Food from the Sea none of which are
particularly exciting then in 1945 she was made an informational specialist
Informational Specialist it's a charming title we no longer have much use for in
the government but it reflected accurately what Carson's role had been
in the last ten years. Carson remained relegated to publishing
mostly fini features for fisheries but the following year an opportunity arose
to broaden her perspective to wildlife and to change the whole genre of
government conservation writing. In 1946 Carson finally was given the chance to
create 12 Wildlife Conservation booklets from inception to post-production a
series she called Conservation in Action, which I plagiarized the title
of this talk. Conservation in Action was created to explain to the public the
work, purpose and the necessity of American wildlife conservation.
Carson hoped it would become a new template for all future government
publications. To research the series Carson travelled across North America to
see firsthand biology or conservation in action. The result was the best
illustrated and easily most eloquent government publication written,
particularly the five issues that Carson composed entirely herself. It's kind of
interesting, Conservation in Action is a beautiful publication. it was one of the
first government publications to come out with color, to come out with full
illustrations, to be written by who was basically the EO Wilson of her day and
it was also the one frustration Carson had. We talked to Carson's colleagues. We
asked, you know did she have frustrations in a government job and there's been a
lot of myths about Carson being ostracized and Fish and Wildlife and so
on. None of this is true but the one frustration we heard again and again
from her colleagues who were still alive- we did oral histories- was working with
the GPO on this publication the GPO didn't want to print them in color, the
GPO did not want to print full scale photographs and it they didn't want to
work with these line illustrations. It was a perennial frustration for over the
course of four years but she persevered and let me read part of it to you
because of this Carson is eloquent just trying to explain why we do wild
conservation of both wild areas and wildlife and every one of these
opened up with a little prologue called the Sign of the Flying Goose and let me
just read the last paragraph which is her succinct
explanation of what her whole agency does the Fish and Wildlife Service and
more specifically the National Wildlife Refuge System house. Carson wrote wild
creatures like men must have a place to live
as civilization creates cities, built highways and drains marshes it takes
away little by little the land that's suitable for wildlife and as their space
for living dwindles the wildlife populations themselves decline. Refuges
resist this trend by saving some areas from encroachment and by preserving them
or restoring when necessary the conditions that wild things need in
order to live it's the most succinct description of our mission and certainly the mission of
the refuge system that we've ever come up with. Like I said we were very
fortunate to have probably the best environmental writer of the 20th century
writing our press releases and our brochures for 16 years
it was the heyday of this area at the same time that Carson was working
another one of her colleagues was Howard Zahniser who went on to write
the Wilderness Act it's it's almost mind-boggling how many conservationists
came through the Department of Interior in the 30s and 40s kind of at the heyday
of New Deal conservation. By 1949 Carson had risen to chief editor of all service
publications which meant basically every intricacy of wildlife biology crossed
her desk and this is going to turn out to be important and most of these papers
benefited from her ability to paint pictures with prose it also marked
unfortunately the beginning of the end for her time in the agency as she became
more popular and more self-sufficient financially she was already working on
her bestseller The Sea Around Us which freed her up financially from the
federal and freelance work which had kept her family afloat for the previous
decades. At Carson's retirement in 1952 based on the success of The Sea Around Us
which amazingly was made into a film and even more amazingly was made by Irwin
Allen who became is the Master of Disaster for Towering
Inferno. Carson hated the film. As you can see there were battles with eels and
giant squids that are not in her book at all, but it won best picture in the
documentary category in 1956. If you ever get a chance to, we should screen it
here in the Rachel Carson room some day, but anyway the book was so successful
was made into a film, won an Oscar and Carson had enough money to leave the
agency and she wanted to write full time so when she retired in 1952
she'd enjoyed an extended apprenticeship digesting the most complex wildlife
science of the day and then translating it into both journals for the popular
audience and also government publications with the same audience in
mind her tripartite job description in those years of working for the
government being writer, naturalist and scientist would prove critical to
the creation of a new environmental perspective on nature that is she didn't
just just born a great writer and a great translator of science and a great
synthesizer of science. She had to work hard at it she produced a number of
books and hundreds of shorter publications to hone those skills the
majority of which was done during her government service time. Finally let me
look at the last aspect of how we might understand how science comes about and
that's networks of science. Carson's time in the government put her in contact
with some of the richest science of the day including some vociferous internal
debates that would provide an important theme of her later books.That is she
wasn't just exposed to the best ecological science of the day which was
being produced not far from here in Patuxent, but she also dealt with some
internal displays. So networks of science, the last aspect. Carson's marine biology
books were obviously based on the beginning of her career with the Bureau
of Fisheries our long lived federal wildlife agency who really
engaged in pioneering studies in marine biology including the creation of the
Marine Biological Laboratory Woods Hole that was created by the Bureau of
Fisheries and this is really fun because you can see a very young Carson at the
beginning of her career I think Carson at the end of her
federal career she went to Woods Hole number of times so Carson was perfectly
positioned to research and write her three best-selling oceans books while
ensconced in the federal agency in charge of marine conservation, but when
she moved to Fish & Wildlife Service in 1940, there was another network that was
just being developed that would put Carson at the forefront of the new
environmental movement. Patuxent research refuge in Laurel, Maryland had been
established in 1936 the same year Carson entered the federal government as a
full-time employee and in fact Carson and Patuxent's legacy have been
intertwined ever since Patuxent began carrying out scientific wildlife
research in 1939 and it was practically in the backyard of Carson's home in
Silver Spring, Maryland. In 1944, Patuxent scientists began
studying the effects of the new pesticide DDT and how it impacted fish,
mammals and birds. Carson was in daily contact with these
researchers and always on the lookout for extra money.
Carson pitched a story on DDT to Reader's Digest way back in 1945
including as one of her supporting documents a press release she'd written
on DDT for the Fish and Wildlife Service in that year The Reader's Digest passed
on the idea but Carson's curiosity and interest in the subject remained until
it finally emerged almost twenty years later in the book Silent Spring now
Carson enjoyed a unique pesticide perspective in several ways first the
work at the Patuxent research refuge was pioneering it was complex and it was
almost entirely unknown to the American public
Carson however knew the lead researcher out there Clarence Kadim and by editing
and translating Patuxent scientific work into rarely read press releases she
was able to assimilate a tremendous amount of early data and the effects of
these new pesticides perhaps equally important is the fact that in 1945 most
Americans if they had any knowledge of DDT had a very positive impression of
the pesticides and just to prove that these are some popular commercials
excuse me advertisement for DDT shortly after World War two and here's a film
lauding this miracle pesticide from 1946 just to give you a context when Carson
first started researching it it begins with a warp on development of DDT this
diabolical weapon of modern science saved millions of humans but healed
billions of insects man with his newly discovered force has at long last gain
the upper hand in our age-old struggle. The really heavy blow fell only a few
months ago it came from laboratories where top scientists from famous
universities and from industrial and government organizations collaborated to
develop something new and different. They succeeded. They perfected Pestroy
the most effective weapon man has ever wielded against insects in both its
forms powder and liquid Pestroy means doomsday to us insects for this new
insect destroyer contains a lot of DDT not just the little it's DDT content is
even higher than government specifications but the really sure-kill
feature of this insect killer isn't simply that it contains DDT it's the way
that it makes sure that bugs get the DDT that's in it.
for example take this liquid form Pestroy DDT synthetic resin coating
ideal for vertical surfaces it's brushed off easily and quickly and dries in half
an hour it forms a clear long-lasting protective
coating scarcely noticeable on most surfaces other preparations sprays for
instance not only irritate the nasal passages and fog up the atmosphere but
quickly lose their effectiveness as the fog dissipates. As the result,
spraying must be repeated time after time
but not so with this Pestroy goes right where it should go to kill insects once
applied, it keeps right on killing them week after week month after month. Here's
why. It's compounded with a new type of synthetic resin which binds DDT to any
surface. Makes it cling. Keeps it from brushing off or blowing away. So that
gives you a sense of how DDT was regarded 1946. It was a miracle pesticide
helped win World War II and it was being rapidly commercialized to be used
in myriad applications. When Carson first began to notice some ill effects from it
coming out of the Patuxent research refuge. Now like I said, Americans we call
DDT as an important wartime weapon against disease World War II was the
first war when fewer soldiers died of disease than combat- largely from
pesticides like DDT and it was also a useful ally against mosquitoes fire ants
crop pests and so on. Carson's introduction to DDT by contrast was
primarily from the fishery and wildlife biologists perspective and from that
perspective DDT was an unrivaled destructive agent to these researchers
that Carson edited and worked for the chemical longevity and the broad
spectrum of this class of pesticides meant collateral poisoning of mammals
birds and fish and non injurious insects DDT became an icon of these
non-discriminating pesticides that Carson would evocatively rename as
biocides and here she is talking about it
here she is giving Senate testimony about these pesticides
First, I hope this committee will give serious consideration to a much neglected
problem. That of the right of the citizen to be secure in his own home against the intrusion of poisons
applied by other persons. I speak not as a (undeciferable), but as a biologist and human being but I strongly feel that this is or should
be one of the basic human rights
here is Carson talking a little more about this subject on a CBS reports
documentary she did in 1963 with Eric Sevareid. Carson speaking before.
We've heard the benefits of pesticides we have heard a great deal about their safety
but very little about the hazards very little about the failures the
inefficiencies and yet the public was being asked to accept these chemicals
was being asked to acquiesce in their use and did not have the whole picture
so I set about to remedy the the balance there. it's nice when you get to
modern enough history people can speak in their own words. Carson's upset about
the misrepresentation of this pesticide as benign. It certainly wasn't from all
the studies being done at Patuxent and and felt there was a ethical issue about
trying to disrupt the balance of nature.
Now Carson's scientific informants on DDT were impressive and far-ranging
running from field biologist and refuge managers she encountered during their
cross-country studies for the Conservation in Action series, to the
laboratory scientists moving in and out of Patuxent, to the network of academic
scientists working at land-grant University co-op research units who
collaborated with her agency on wildlife sciences and submitted all of
their materials to Carson who in addition to being chief editor was also
our chief agency librarian. This growing realization of the wildlife scientists
in the 50s and late 1940s that they'd been lied to about DDT was something
Carson never forgot or forgave and it fueled her anger at toxins in general
Finally Carson reached her peak in the Fish and Wildlife Service during a
bigger internal agency debate about predator and rodent control policies
Since 1885 the Fish and Wildlife Service and its predecessor agencies had played
the lead federal role in controlling so-called pests- primarily predators and
rodents who damaged crops or decimated game animals as an agency with roots in
the Department of Agriculture and a mission to increase useful game species
this what wasn't surprising but beginning in the 1940s a number of
biologists in the agency began to question this role of trying to reduce
predators and rodents in the wake of new developments in the field of ecology
especially wildlife ecology. The first text had been written about wildlife
ecology in the mid 1930s by Leopold Charles Elton was developing the idea of
food chains things were changing and Carson was part of that era. One of
Carson's correspondence in the agency was Olaus Murie who'd sagely noted as
early as 1929 and in fact predators carried out rodent control for free
it was self-defeating to try to kill both of these. Carson as
an informational specialist was in the midst of these debates between
scientists and the agency regarding the role of predator and rodent control the
role in the food chain the balance of nature versus heavily managing nature
and the idea of game management versus wildlife management all of which would
reappear in Silent Spring Carson's own views seem to evolve during
a time of the service as she became less and less comfortable with the predator
and rodent killing and more and more supportive of natural biological
controls she gradually swung her allegiance towards a group of agency
scientists petitioning to end the predator and rodent control program it
was a theme that re-emerged forcefully in Silent Spring which argued for
restraint not total control over nature biological not man-made devices to keep
pests a tolerable levels so many of the themes in Silent
Spring actually arose earlier in internal agency
debates about balance of nature versus total control over nature. Carson came to
her epiphany much earlier than the agency which only dropped their
eradication mission in 1986 after a century of killing pests. Carson's
growing distrust of species of eradication and even the term pest was a
critical theme in Silent Spring Carson noted the very term pesticide was
dismissive and perjorative as the important role of insects in the food
chain wasn't recognized. That is, an mosquito to a Robin is not a pest, it's
dinner. She felt that the term biocide would be more ecologically accurate what
these pesticides were doing was wiping out a small part of the biota
This dismissal of eradication and chemical control of her species also fueled her
most ardent critics who sensed the danger of her ideas including the chemical
companies. Here's a little debate between the chemical companies and Carson
The crux, the fulcrum over which the argument chiefly rests is that
Miss Carson maintains that the balance of nature is a major force in the survival
of man. Whereas the modern chemist, the modern biologist, the modern scientist
believes that man is steadily controlling nature. Now to these people
apparently the the balance of nature was something that was repealed as soon as
man came on the scene. Well you might just as well assume that you could
repeal the law of gravity. The balance of nature is built of a series of
interrelationships between living things and between living things and their
environment. So how to summarize Carson's life and role as a federal employee the
longest job she held in a very interesting life. Well Carson's federal
career provided ample literary and scientific vistas for her to explore
while preparing her to translate them for the public. Her network of scientific
colleagues and their internal debates provided to her the raw material and the
confidence to engage in the harsh debate that followed Silent Spring which you
just saw a clip from. So in many ways it prepared her for what became her most
famous book, but beyond that if we just think about that that's too narrow a
look at Carson's impact. Carson also transformed her agency the Fish and
Wildlife Service from 1936 to 1949. Rachel Carson was the only female
biologist in the entire agency. Today over half of our new employees are women
and the majority of life science students in this country are female a
huge transformation from Carson's day and a transformation
I'm convinced Carson was a part of as the most famous biologist of the mid 20th century
another way she transformed the agency was through the Endangered Species Act
when Carson worked for the US Fish and Wildlife Service it primarily protected
game species and charismatic bird species. Today Fish and Wildlife is the
primary agency in charge of the Endangered Species Act the most
revolutionary and idealistic environmental legislation ever passed
and a direct result of Carson's clarion call to protect all of the nation's
fauna, to broaden out and even protect insects for fear of unintended
consequences
finally when Carson lived her first passion was the oceans and in Carson's
lifetime the oceans enjoyed precious little protection today almost 700
million acres of waters and 150 million acres of lands are managed by her home
agency the Fish and Wildlife Service making it the largest public lands and
water manager in the world Carson never dreamed of that but it
would be nice maybe in the future to name a marine National Monument after
Carson there's already a refuge named after her in Maine. All new employees to
the agency are taught about Carson and strongly encouraged to consider as they
carry out their mission WWRD what would Rachel do. So let me end with this note
the tendency in both religion and environmental history is to focus on the
epiphany the moments of inspiration from St. Paul on the road to Damascus to
Rachel Carson writing Silent Spring we tend to focus on the pivotal moment in
time that changed our world in these cases literally changing our
environmental world. However, if we don't just look at the pivotal moment or the
one canonical text, if instead we looked at the journey and examine that in more depth
looked at the journey not just the destination we might discover the
frustrations and the inspirations that shaped later work if we went all the way
back to our first book Under the Seawind it's generally regarded as her weakest
came out in 1941 its anthropomorphic and it's a bit of a throwback to kind of
earlier 19th century nature writing but as Carson grew as a federal
conservationist her writing matured became more focused became more eloquent
became more scientifically grounded and became more impactful her latter two
marine biology books were both more eloquent and scientific no mean
accomplishment by the time of Silent Spring in 1962 Carson had tapped into a
new stream of environmental thought focused on the human impact on nature
the role of toxins and the need to protect all species these three themes
would eventually coalesce into the modern environmental movement I am
biased of course I work for the same agency Carson did but I think I'm
accurate and suggesting that none of this would have been possible without
the federal infrastructure which supported which nurtured which
occasionally provoked and eventually inspired Rachel Carson. Thank you guys
very much

BREAKING LIVE: Schumer Woke To NASTY Surprise From Pissed Off Dreamers Overnight! - Duration: 4:49.
BREAKING LIVE: Schumer Woke To NASTY Surprise From Pissed Off Dreamers Overnight!
Senior Dem US Senator of New York, Chuck Schumer, is exactly the reason the government shutdown
this week!
He wanted more money for illegals than he did for our military.
The shutdown was resolved when he folded like a cheap suit after acting as the hero for
these so-called "Dreamers" who ended up with nothing after Schumer cost active military
several days of pay.
It was a loss on all accounts for his stupid statement and now he's paying for it in
a personal way with who just stormed his New York City house.
He had it coming!
When liberals and illegals don't get what they want they have only one reaction.
Schumer is feeling the full wrath of that now as Trump gets the last laugh.
The Washington Post reports:
In the hours after U.S. senators struck a deal to end the government shutdown Monday,
scores gathered near the U.S. Capitol to protest what they saw as the Democrats' decision
to abandon the "dreamers," young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the United
States illegally as children or overstayed their visas.
One by one, the demonstrators called out the names of Democrats who voted with Republicans
to end the shutdown, shouting, "Shame!"
On Tuesday, a group of about 100 protesters gathered again, rallying in Upper Senate Park
and then heading to lawmakers' offices to demand the vote on immigration legislation
that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has vaguely promised.
Those protests continue now into the dark and have also taken a turn down Schumer's
street where he lives in New York City, which isn't coincidental.
They thought he was going to be the guy to give them what he wanted, but he caved and
now they're showing him one of the reasons Trump is so strong on immigration.
They aren't here to work, they overstayed their visas, and don't want all the freebies
of living in our free country to be taken away.
Breitbart was there live to show the "Dreamers" storming Schumer's personal residence.
He can advocate for them all he wants, thinking that there's no threat of having to face
the consequences of his deplorable decisions for American citizens.
However, now he's getting the perfect dose of karma.
Walter Barrientos, of the immigrant rights organization Make the Road New York, said
his group and those aligned with it have sponsored actions in New York as well as in downtown
Washington, holding rallies and vigils in Manhattan and at the home of Senate Minority
Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.), who led the shutdown effort but then backed down over
the weekend.
"Dreamers" and their advocates gather near the U.S. Capitol on Monday to declare
their frustration at the reopening of the federal government without protections for
immigrants.
"We are planning on being relentless in our pressure for the next two weeks," Barrientos
said.
"We can't allow him to fail us again."
Since the Trump administration announced in September that it would phase out the Obama-era
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, immigrants and their advocates have
protested, flooded congressional offices and been arrested in acts of civil disobedience,
all in an effort to force a vote on legislation that would allow dreamers to stay legally
in the United States.
Senate Democrats, led by Schumer, forced a government shutdown last week, refusing to
support a last-minute spending bill if it did not include protections for dreamers.
But by Monday, after a weekend of Republican claims that Democrats had "prioritized illegal
immigrants over American citizens," senators from swing states were telling Schumer that
their stance could hurt them, badly, in November's midterm elections.
The Democrats then accepted a deal they had rejected Sunday — agreeing to reopen the
government as long as McConnell said "it would be my intention" to consider immigration
legislation in coming weeks.
There are multiple competing efforts in both chambers of Congress to determine what such
legislation would say, however.
And even if a bill allowing dreamers to stay passed the Senate, it could face an uphill
battle in the more conservative House.
"Senators who voted today for the promise of a symbolic vote on the Dream Act are not
resisting Trump — they are enablers," Cristina Jiménez, executive director and
co-founder of United We Dream, the nation's largest immigrant-youth-led organization,
said Monday.
"Republicans played games too, holding the Dream Act hostage and pitted the safety of
immigrant youth against children's health care, proving their cruelty to the world."
Schumer needs to let all his Dreamer friends in, take his own advice and see how that ends
up.
If it's good for America then he should open up his own home and prove it.
Stand by your Socialistic convictions and share your wealth, better than taxpayers being
taxed.
