Norbert!
Can you tell us what you are doing here?
Right now?
"Schnorren!"
- That means?
We're sitting here with a few people.
First it was just Söhnke, to "schnorr".
Sit down!
First it was just Söhnke, to "schnorr".
Then I came from work and joined him.
Short after that Rebecca, Max and Markus joined,
a few Punks as well and now we are sitting here.
We will "schnorr" together, into the same cup
and later we'll share it.
But first of all i think
it is about sitting together.
So everyone will be happy if they get some more Euros.
But first of all the weather is nice
and we enjoy sitting here together.
Rebecca!
Tell us how you got to know us.
So, First of all we sat here, "schnorring",
as always, drank beer
and then these nice people turned up.
And they sat with us and gave us beer.
And this is how we started conversation.
- Yes, right. They didn't have change.
Just beer. - Yeah, right
- Which was far better.
- Which was of course far better.
This is how we got to know each other.
And that became...
yes... just what we are doing here.
Basically, we became drinking companions.
- Hey, this movie goes to my Uni!
We just drink water, you drink beer, right?
Okay, let's toast that!
-And that in your movie... Your beer bottle.
Totally senseless.
It's everyone. Everyone who needs to "schnorr".
Everyone who needs to "schnorr" or wants to "schnorr"
can join here.
Also from out of town.
At the moment we have people from Braunschweig.
- And one of them already moved here to Münster.
- Yeah right. When he went back to Braunschweig,
he came back after one day to stay here.
Because it is simply good here.
People are much nicer and social.
Especially for the Punks
it is really nice here. Super.
-Ah, damn.
Common. Into my ass! Into my ass!
- You've got no chance.
- Will the two of you fuck me now or what?
- Ah, my jar hurts.
- I love you Rebecca, did i ever tell you?
- I love you, too.
I don't give a shit, who sits here.
Be it men in suits, be it someone else.
It doesn't matter.
Often there are little children passing by.
That is always nice.
- What are the typical reactions of the people?
Different, really different.
I mean, we are generally politr.
If we get money or not does not matter.
We are always polite.
Generally the people in Münster are polite.
But there are also some other cases.
People who are more extreme.
Who insult you, tell you "go and work"
or "work as a whore"
or whatever.
We also had someone today, who told us
that he really wanted to stab us.
It is always different.
Some want to stab you and others are nice.
Oh, thank you!
Have a nice day!
Hey ladies, what about you?
I think "schnorren" in a group
is far easier than sitting there alone.
To be honest, it is not like I am not ashamed.
I feel uncomfortable to ask for money.
It will always be like that.
But when I am alone it is worst.
Especially when there is nice weather
and I would rather like to sit in the park.
But then I need the money.
I need to go "schnorren".
These are the moments, where... I don't know....
I feel uncomfortable or more annoyed
when I need to go "schnorren" alone.
Then it is least fun to me.
A small donation from the Gentleman?
Have a nice day.
Maybe the Lady?
Of course you can bring people to
get a new perspective on the individual person.
Through the conversation, or a simple "Hello",
I often greet people who pass by,
where I don't "schnorr" for money
I just say "Hello" to them. And search for eye-contact.
to build up a different relation.
Money doesn't play a role, at first.
I personally don't care about money.
Of course, we come here to "schnorr"
when we are in need.
When we really don't have anything left.
And we need to buy something to eat for us
or for the dog. Or something different.
Then we go "schnorren".
But after all it is a minor matter.
I started to sit on the streets
to get into contact with people.
People with whom you usually don't get into contact.
Also, when I see those grumpy faces sometimes,
and when you give them a friendly "hello"
or often I wish people "get well soon",
when I see people on crutches.
"Hey, best wishes, get well soon"
That will immediatly give you a smile back.
And that's worth far more than the Euro in the cup.
For sure!
Change does not only stink, it does not even taste well.
Bicycle toll?
To cut it off the movie: Home is where my beer is.
- That's good! Home is where beer is.
No. It's outside, definitely.
- For me as well. I am outside everyday.
From morning until evening I am in the city.
I feel comfortable here
No matter how the weather is, I am a child of winter.
I like to sleep outside, I like to stay outside.
I like all of that.
Far more than sitting in our flat,
doing nothing or watching TV or playing Computer games
- Yes for me
permanently on the streets...
I sometimes need a safe haven.
Just like her. We both have seen
a lot of things during our time on this planet.
And we sometimes have depressive times.
Both of us.
We can catch each other then.
But we need our place at home.
We hardly have any guests at home.
You can count them on one hand,
the people who have been there.
Because this is our ultimate resort,
where we can cry alone, if we want to.
Where we can just sit and think.
Without all this traffic and so on.
And without the alcohol.
There we can catch each other.
When we are together at home
we can give each other strength.
- I would say it is like a rechargable battery.
- Yes, true. Like a charging station.
- Quickly, a few hours of charging power
and off we go!
Look, I show you something.
She can laugh, for real.
Such a dog is far more faithful than
some human being.
And we can both speak to her.
We can cuddle her and she takes it.
She sees it when we are sad,
She sees it when we are happy,
She sees it when we are fighting.
She realizes what is going on. She belongs to us.
Also, we don't want to bring a child into this world.
No way.
There is too much going on.
But a dog...
... is something we take with us.
But also it was important..
...sorry...
Also it was important to me
as we spend a lot of time on the streets,
so when we are outside, also sleep outside
and have our stuff with us,
that if she needs to pee, she can take the dog.
As well as when we sleep in the city at night,
or even outside the city, that we don't need to worry,
that when we sleep, someone comes
takes our stuff or even mugs us
and really beats us up or something.
That happens often enough, unfortunately.
So, the perfect world for me would be,
if there was no money.
But instead, you would just exchange
what you need or have.
That would be the perfect world.
If there was no war, but the people
would get along with each other
as well with the religions.
Yeah, that would be my perfect world.
And money does really play no part in it.
If we really exchanged things there,
I need new pants, someone else needs a shirt,
if we did it like that, it would be far easier.
I'd prefer that from what is going on at the moment.
- If someone tells you: "Go and work",
what do you think or reply?
- First of all to me it is sneering at us.
Because first of all, it is something
that this person cannot know about me.
Does he go to work or not?
Or does he sit here, because he is in dept
and does not get along with his monthly salary.
Because this is the thing. I...
So if you have to manage a lot of dept,
I am just allowed to earn a certain amount.
the rest will be taken away.
And I don't get along with that money.
I work in the office of a street magazine,
part time and it is funded.
So I have 120 Euro more each month
than my social benefits .
But because of costs for energy, etc.
I have so many expenses, that even after
earning 120 Euros, I just have 390 Euros left for living.
But usually, I do not get along with this.
To safe about 50 Euros a month is impossible with that.
So this is my reaction:
Yes, I do work. But it is not enough.
I don't get along.
So this here is a good way to improve.
Of course, I can go and work in a bar at night.
And work here and work there, but then
I don't have this here.
And this is what I want to have. I need it.
I need people like you, who come to us,
sit with us and talk with us.
And who come back and come back.
To find a common ground together,
that is what we need.
Five minutes, 1,30 Euro. How about you?

BREAKING Trump Just Set Washington ON FIRE With New Ruling that Has Lobbyists Terrified!! - Duration: 11:16.
BREAKING Trump Just Set Washington ON FIRE With New Ruling that Has Lobbyists Terrified!!
Donald Trump has finally done it!
Less than a week after his presidential nomination, Trump has kept his word on "Draining the
Swamp" in Washington DC with a new ruling that has lobbyists p*ssing all over themselves!!
In a historic move never before seen by a US President, Trump declared that ALL officials
working with his campaign, on his transition team, and in his cabinet will be BANNED from
working as DC lobbyists for 5 years to prevent them from abusing their connections for self-gain!
Not only that, but ANYONE who wants to work for Trump is now required to immediately end
ALL of their current connections to lobbying groups or be FIRED instantly.
But the Donald was not done yet.
To put icing on the cake, he has also moved to officially have the term lobbyist apply
to ALL DC insiders working as "consultants" or "advisors" when in reality, "we all
know they are lobbyists."
Video by CNN – Trump Drain the Swamp!!
Of course, you know all the long-time Senators and lobbying groups are already freaking out.
Mitch McConnel refused to acknowledge the ban when pressured by reporters while the
National Institute for Lobbying and Ethics tried to intimidate Trump by saying "This
will have a chilling effect on his hiring, no doubt."
Uh, yeah.
Now Donald Trump will have to hire people NOT trying to line their pockets with hundreds
of millions of tax payer dollars.
Sounds like a real loss to me…NOT!!
If you are proud of President Trump for standing up against the DC lobbyists and career politicians,
let him know by sharing this out to every person you know!!Angry Liberals Did Something
TERRIBLE to Mike Pence Last Night During Hamilton Play…
Now it is no secret that Liberals HATE Vice President Mike Pence.
I mean you would basically have to be living under a rock not to know that.
However, last night months of angst poured over onto Pence while he was watching the
Hamilton show on Broadway.
For starter, Pence was booed the second he walked into the theater and then multiple
times throughout the show.
Then Pence was caught off guard again when one of the play's actors froze the show
to give a long and passionate speech about how they are afraid of Pence before begging
Pence to uphold the Constitution.
https://youtu.be/ZDIGpZnGgIo
By this point, Mike Pence was tired from a long night of heckling.
He figured he would just watch the rest of the show and sneak out to avoid any angry
people in the audience.
Well, to his surprise the streets were already flooded with anti-Pence protesters shouting
horrific slurs at him.
They apparently had been tipped off about Pence's presence at the play by a Twitter
account owned by Anonymous.Now I'm gonna be completely honest with you folks.
I do not agree with Mike Pence on Gay rights.
I tend to agree much more with Donald Trump.
That being said, dehumanizing him and treating him like trash is vile and the worst way to
make a point.
So, despite our disagreement, I want Vice President Pence to know that I have his back
during these times since America needs more compassion and understanding than these nightly
riots have given us.
If you will stand with Pence too, prove it by sharing this on your Facebook Page!!Melania
Trump Shut Down Anderson Cooper Last Night With 5 EPIC Words…
If the liberals really thought that they could go after Donald Trump by interviewing Melania,
they made a BIG mistake…
Anderson Cooper sat down for an interview with Melania Trump tonight hoping to catch
her saying something bad about Donald.
He even had the nerve to ask about the women claiming Trump assaulted them.
THAT'S WHEN MELANIA CRUSHED IT!
"I believe my husband.
I believe my husband.
This was all organized from the opposition.
And with the details that they got – did they ever check the background of these women?
They don't have any facts."
You see, Melania may not enjoy playing the media game as much as the rest of her family,
but she can still take down the liberal shills with ease.
She also dispelled all the lies about the Trump Tapes with Billy Bush by pointing out
that Bush was egging Trump on to say bad things so that he could put it on TV.
Melania said Donald Trump NEVER talks about women like that!
Boom!
This girl is crushing it.
Way to go Melania.
I think everyone needs to see this amazing interview for themselves.
If you agree, share this out and let the world see Melania in Kick-Azz Mode!After Bashing
Trump For Months, George Soros Just Got The Worst News Of His Life!
This story by Paris Swade.
George Soros is a rich liberal!
WHEW!
Scratch that.
George Soros is the richest of liberals.
He spent tens of millions of dollars trying to elect Hillary Clinton.
Now that she lost…
He is focusing his attention on Donald Trump.
– THERE ARE RUMORS THAT HE IS LOSING SUPPORT!
There is a 3-day meeting at the Mandarin Oriental hotel beginning on Sunday, according to Politico.
This event is sponsored by Democracy Alliance – which is headed up by George Soros.
Their plan is to stop Trump even after he has won the election.
Yes.
You heard that right.
The election is not over.
It's going to be a long year.
*** If you didn't know, Soros is behind the protests going on right now.
Soros founded the Democracy Alliance in 2004.
Members of the organization have to donate at least $200,000 a year to its recommended
groups.
*** Soros gave $13 million to unsuccessfully stop Trump from winning.
The Democratic party is wanting to get away from Soros's Democracy Alliance.
One Democratic strategist said the following:
"The DA itself should be called into question," said one Democratic strategist.
"You can make a very good case it's nothing more than a social club for a handful wealthy
white donors and labor union officials to drink wine and read memos, as the Democratic
Party burns down around them."
You heard it right here at Liberty Writers News.
The Democrats are starting to doubt George Soros's vision for the party.
Let's help them doubt it!
#SHARE this article with every single patriot and Democrat that you know.
We need to stop this man from trying to topple our country.
Are you American?
Will you stand up, patriot?
God bless all the real patriot left.
Share this article if you agree.
Amen.
(h/t Breitbart)THIS IS MASSIVE!
Watch Homeland Security Chairman Make Hillary GASP With 1 Word…
This story by Paris Swade.
THIS IS MASSIVE.
You need to read this.
The Department of Homeland Security just came out and said that Clinton's actions amount
to treason.
*** Seriously!
Let me repeat that the Chairman of Homeland Security just said that Clinton's actions
amount to treason.
This is Homeland Security Chairman Mike McCaul (R-TX) and he accused Hillary of "treason"
on Thursday morning on Fox and Friends.
WE NEED TO GET THIS OUT, PATRIOTS!
The mainstream media is not going to push this.
Hillary is a traitor to this country.
The left is trying to cover for Hillary.
They are literally trying to elect a criminal to be President.
*** SHOUT THIS TO THE RAFTERS!
It's up to us to fight the mainstream media and share this.
Hillary is about to be slapped with treason.
Let's get this out!
Put Hillary in prison.
If we don't, this nation is too corrupt to fix.
(h/t Talking Points Memo)HOLY BLESSINGS Donald Trump Just Made a Deal With Israel that Will
Make God Smile!
Donald Trump is not just the leader America wants, he is the leader the entire world NEEDS!
Earlier today he had a private meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu where he promised
the US would begin helping Israel again with military assistance, security and regional
stability once he is elected.
Trump ALSO Promised that, during his presidency, the US will recognize Jerusalem, not Tel Aviv,
as the official capital city of Israel!
This means the US embassy will no longer be in Tel Aviv to satisfy the Palestinians.
His campaign released this statement:
"Mr. Trump acknowledged that Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of the Jewish People
for over 3,000 years, and that the United States, under a Trump administration, will
finally accept the long-standing Congressional mandate to recognize Jerusalem as the undivided
capital of the State of Israel."
And what is Israel going to give Donald Trump in return?
Well, help with his wall of course.
After all, nobody knows defensive wall building quite as well as the Israelis.Sounds like
the world's greatest deal-maker is already having success and he is not even in office
yet!
(H/T – Daily Mail)
So, my fellow patriots, let's give Donald Trump a round of applause for this amazing
deal with Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu.
And if you want to go the extra mile to help him out, just share this story out on Facebook
before the liberals can spin it.BREAKING Donald Trump Just Gave Laura Ingraham The BEST News
of Her Life…
For all those of you who LOVE Conservative radio Host Laura Ingraham and America's
President Donald Trump, prepare for the best news of the week:
LAURA INGRAHAM JUST ANNOUNCED SHE IS THE TOP PICK FOR WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY!!
She told Fox & Friends,
"Things are in flux.
We'll see…It's wonderful to be considered.
I've known Donald for a long time, and I know most of the guys who are going to be
in the White House with him."I think Ingraham would be an amazing choice.
She is poised, trusted, and still entertaining enough to keep America's attention.
Way better than Obama's sniveling brat, Jay Carney.
In case you didn't know, Ingraham is also great friends with Trump's top Advisor and
Strategist, Kellyanne Conway.
Back in the 90's they worked tirelessly to take down Bill Clinton's sick history
of RAPE, and even helped land the impeachment we all remember.
(H/T –told GQ)
Even if Trump decides to go a different way with his Press Secretary, I can guarantee
we will be seeing a LOT of Laura Ingraham around the White House for the next for years.
If you are proud of President Trump and all of his appointments, show your support and
share this out!

Unboxing LACIE Rugged mini USB 3.0 2TB - Duration: 3:55.
Hello this is a quick video to show you the unboxing of the LACIE Rugged mini USB 3.0
2TB drive.
I don't need this.
Look!
I've got like 4 of these, there's no way I need this.
But I wanted it.
So I'm going to show you what it looks like when it's comes out of the box.
So let's open it up.
I've only got 183GB?
To store in my life?
But I've worked with lots of video editors and self-shooting PD's over the years and
they use these out on location.
And in edit suites.
And I've always wanted a rugged.
And this is the mini version.
And this is how it comes out of the box.
I got this one from John Lewis in the UK and, oh...
It feels lovely.
I don't need it, and it's great, look at it.
Give you a close-up.
So the drive that I'm used to over the years has got three lines, and 3 lines that way,
but this mini - this is like an aluminium feel, so it feels like cold metal.
Oh, it's lovely.
And there's the design.
And here's the USB cable that comes with.
I saw some reviews that said it's quite flimsy and it does actually.
The cable looks quite cheap.
But I guess it comes with a nice sticker attached.
And there's a quick install guide, actually on the cardboard base.
And er...
2 instructions.
You can pause the video if you need to read it!
I'm gonna use it on a PC.
And I don't need 2TB, I really don't.
But I don't care.
There's the box.
I've got it now!
That shows what comes in here.
The cable is rubbish.
Honestly, I've got better cable on this one.
I'll hold them side-by-side so you can see the size comparison.
Yeah, password protected?
I don't even need any of my files to be private.
Anyway here's how it compares in size with a WD Elements.
Maybe I could put this video on the Lacie.
They pronounced it LaCie don't they.
But to me, it's always a Lacie.
"Throw the Lacie over!"
I've got it here.
If this unboxing has been useful at all, why not click on my face, to subscribe, I've got
a link to places you can buy this, in the description underneath.
And I'm sure YouTube are serving cards that you can click on with the "i" in the corner.
And I hope this video has been useful.
Just to see what you get in the box.
Go on, get one.
It feels really good.

Trust and communication - Duration: 5:54.
Hi all.
I'd like to talk about trust and communication today.
What's prompted me was the fact that I had a new patient starting today who was an active
alcoholic and is now under control and under control because he finally understood that
he needed help and could not do it alone.
For many of you food is an addiction.
It's different in the fact that the side effects are different but mentally speaking it's very
similar.
He had tried for years to control his drinking, he had never succeeded even with medication
because he did not trust and he did not communicate.
I created the ABS protocol to give you a GPS.
For those of you who have one in your cars and you use them you know they get you to
your destination.
Many of you question the route that the GPS chooses.
The not trusting the route doesn't change the outcome.
You may think it's easier or faster or more expeditious or it's longer but if you follow
the GPS it takes you where you want to go.
This patient also was attending meetings and on a regular basis talking to people who had
similar problems.
They were all addicts and by sharing their problems and sharing their strengths many
of them if not most of them became successful.
The ABS protocol was named that because I wanted an acronym that you could remember.
ABS, Abs work your Abs and the three steps were very simple.
Admit that you want to cheat.
Do three chi-gong breaths and acknowledge that it's centres, focuses and relaxes you
and acknowledge that you're taking control because when you do the chi-gong you literally
stopped everything else in your personal world because nothing else can happen and then you're
using the candy and saying it verbally: I am using you to substitute for my cheating
behaviour.
It's personal, its first person, it's you dealing with yourself and taking back control
of your own life and it works but it only works if you permit yourself to do it.
It's an act of self-love, it's an act of making yourself important and it doesn't take away
from anyone else.
Trust that you have the strength.
Communicate with others and the communication I'm talking about is when someone comes at
you because you will not share some food with them because it's not appropriate or they
want you to cheat.
Let them know that they're doing it for themselves; they're not doing it for you.
Let's get centred.
Let's get important and let's start getting excited about the successes that we feel.
Thank you.

Trump Erases Job Protections for LGBT Workers: March 31 Debrief - Duration: 3:27.
Just this week the Trump administration revoked job protections for LGBT workers, kept queer
people off of the Census, and started dismantling the Office of Civil Rights.
Plus, North Carolina just repealed its bathroom ban -- and then replaced it with something
even worse.
First up: the census.
Why does it matter so much?
Well, it's used to allocate billions of dollars in spending, and also to determine whether
policies are helping or hurting various different groups.
For years, LGBT advocates have been pushing for the census to ask about sexual orientation,
so we can know how many queer people there are in the country, where they live, and how
laws affect them.
And for a moment, that was going to happen at last, with a draft version including a
question on sexual orientation.
And then, it was removed -- it was an error, they said.
In other words, sorry LGBT Americans, you literally don't count.
Also this week, Donald revoked an order that protected LGBT employees of federal contractors.
Under Obama-era rules, contractors had to prove that they weren't discriminating against
LGBT workers in order to get federal money.
Now that requirement has been eliminated, so companies can get federal money without
having to prove anything.
So what does this mean?
Well, there are as many as 28 million people working for federal contractors, and since
we don't have census data we don't know how many are LGBT.
But now companies can fire them, or pay them less, or deny them work and still get taxpayer
dollars.
And there's more: Donald just appointed a new head of the Office of Civil Rights at
Health and Human Services.
This office protects health care privacy, trains employees on what is and isn't discrimination,
and investigates complaints when someone's civil rights are violated.
So who did he appoint?
Roger Severino, who opposes marriage equality, says health providers should be able to refuse
service to queer people, and doesn't think anyone should have to acknowledge the existence
of trans people.
People count on the OCR to protect them from civil rights violations.
And now, the office is being run by a guy who says that LGBT people don't deserve equal
treatment.
This means the Office of Civil Rights might not respect marriage between same-sex couples,
could support doctors who refuse to treat LGBT patients, and could make it harder for
trans people to access treatment.
Meanwhile, North Carolina is finally moving toward repealing the "trans bathroom ban"
HB2.
But they're replacing it with something worse: a bill that blocks any city from creating
a trans-inclusive bathroom policy without getting permission from the legislature -- and
since the legislature definitely isn't going to give its permission, this will continue
to prevent trans people from using bathrooms in public spaces like schools, courthouses,
and government jobs.
It means that trans people can't fully participate in public places.
Plus it bans any new LGBT nondiscrimination laws, even at the local level, for the next
three years.
Republicans are calling it a compromise, but banning nondiscrimination is just a way of
continuing discrimination.
So this so-called compromise repeals HB2 in name only, and then goes on harm even more
people.
Equality North Carolina isn't giving up on repealing these laws but they will need your
help.
This week's action item: go to EqualityNC.org where you can donate or volunteer to help
them continue to fight for equal access to facilities.
That's it for this week.
Subscribe to stay up to date, check out more videos about LGBT issues, and let me know
your thoughts in the comments and @mattbaume on Twitter.
And I'll debrief you next week.

Kennedy Classics - Absolutes in a Relativistic Age - Duration: 28:31.
FROM D. JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES
THIS IS KENNEDY CLASSICS
HI, I'M FRANK WRIGHT, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF D.
JAMES KENNEDY MINISTRIES.
A FEW WEEKS AGO, I BROKE INTO OUR PROGRAMMING TO
TELL YOU ABOUT THE FINANCIAL CRISIS WE WERE
FACING, AND TO ASK FOR YOUR HELP.
TODAY, I'M PLEASED TO REPORT THAT YOU RESPONDED,
AND THANKS TO THE LORD'S BLESSING AND GENEROUS
DONORS LIKE YOU, WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE UP A GOOD
PORTION OF OUR FINANCIAL SHORTFALL.
THAT SAID, THERE IS MUCH LEFT TO DO, AND THIS YEAR
WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST PIVOTAL IN OUR NATION'S
HISTORY.
SO THANK YOU FOR PARTNERING WITH US, PLEASE
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT US PRAYERFULLY AND
FINANCIALLY, AS WE STAND FOR TRUTH, DEFENDING YOUR
FREEDOM.
♪
WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS
WHEN ALBERT EINSTEIN PUBLISHED HIS THEORIES OF
SPECIAL AND GENERAL RELATIVITY, THE WORLD WAS
BOTH ENTHRALLED AND MYSTIFIED BY THIS
SEEMINGLY NEW CONCEPT.
AS SIR ISAAC NEWTON'S CONCEPTS OF ABSOLUTE TIME
AND ABSOLUTE SPACE GAVE WAY TO THE REALITY THAT
CELESTIAL MOTION AND TIME MUST BE SEEN AS RELATIVE
TO SOME PARTICULAR FRAME OF REFERENCE, WHICH ITSELF
IS ALSO IN MOTION.
THE IMPLICATIONS OF EINSTEIN'S THEORIES ROCKED
THE VERY FOUNDATION OF ASTROPHYSICS.
ODDLY SOME WOULD SAY INEVITABLY THE IDEA OF
RELATIVITY BEGAN TO BE SPOKEN OF IN DECIDEDLY
NON-SCIENTIFIC CONTEXTS.
WE WOULD SAY, FOR EXAMPLE THAT THE VALUE OF MONEY
SAY, $100 DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR INCOME IS.
A PERSON EARNING $50,000 A YEAR WOULD VALUE THAT $100
BILL ONE WAY.
A PERSON EARNING $50 MILLION A YEAR WOULD
ATTACH A DIFFERENT VALUE TO IT.
IN OTHER WORDS THE VALUE OF THE MONEY IS RELATIVE
TO THE MATERIAL WELL BEING OF THE PERSON RATHER THAN
HAVING AN ABSOLUTE VALUE.
WELL, SO FAR SO GOOD.
BUT HOW DO WE APPLY RELATIVITY TO ABSTRACT
PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTS, SUCH AS THE VALUE OF HUMAN
LIFE?
FOR EXAMPLE, I VALUE THE HEBREWS AS A HISTORICALLY
UNIQUE PEOPLE CALLED OUT BY GOD AS A SEPARATE
NATION, DESIGNATED BY GOD AS HIS OWN PEOPLE.
YET ADOLF HITLER DID NOT SEE IT THAT WAY, HENCE THE
HOLOCAUST.
IS THAT TOO MERELY A MATTER OF RELATIVITY?
AND WHAT ABOUT THE UNBORN BABY IN THE WOMB?
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE SLOPE IS GETTING MORE SLIPPERY,
AND WE NEED A FIRM PLACE TO STAND.
WELL, HERE TO HELP US WITH THIS SLIPPERY SLOPE IS
DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY, IN A MESSAGE HE DELIVERED AT
YALE UNIVERSITY, CALLED "ABSOLUTES IN A
RELATIVISTIC AGE."
(BELL CHIME)
(APPLAUSE)
I AM DELIGHTED AND HONORED TO BE ABLE TO BE WITH YOU
THIS EVENING IN THIS INSTITUTION WHICH HAS SUCH
A LONG AND PROUD HISTORY, SOON TO BE CELEBRATING
YOUR 300TH ANNIVERSARY, I DISCOVER IN JUST A FEW
MORE YEARS.
HOW WONDERFUL THAT IS.
OF COURSE, I FELT QUITE AT HOME WHEN I WAS INFORMED
THAT THIS ORGANIZATION WAS FOUNDED BY TEN CLERGYMEN
WHO WERE NOTED AS LEARNED MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
DESIRING A SCHOOL AND INSTITUTION FOR TEACHING
ARTS AND SCIENCES AND PROPAGATING THE CHRISTIAN
RELIGION.
AND THAT, I THINK, IS A WONDERFUL THING.
I WAS ALSO DELIGHTED TO SEE THAT YOUR MOTTO IS
LUX ET VERITAS- LIGHT AND TRUTH.
THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT I WILL BE ADDRESSING YOU
ABOUT TONIGHT.
MY SUBJECT AS STATED IS "ABSOLUTES IN A
RELATIVISTIC AGE."
DR. ALLAN BLOOM, PROFESSOR OF SOCIAL THOUGHT AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO AND FORMER PROFESSOR AT YALE
UNIVERSITY, A SCHOOL LOCATED AROUND HERE
SOMEWHERE I'M TOLD, IS THE AUTHOR OF A VERY BIG BOOK
OF THE PAST 5 YEARS, THE CLOSING OF THE AMERICAN
MIND.
INTERESTINGLY, IN THAT BOOK, HE SAYS IN THE VERY
FIRST SENTENCE OF THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE
FIRST CHAPTER, HE SAYS THIS: THERE IS ONE THING A
PROFESSOR CAN BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN OF:
ALMOST EVERY STUDENT ENTERING THE UNIVERSITY
BELIEVES, OR SAYS HE BELIEVES, THAT TRUTH IS
RELATIVE.
THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES.
MARK TWAIN SAID THAT THE PROBLEM WITH MOST PEOPLE
IS NOT WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW, BUT WHAT THEY KNOW
FOR CERTAIN THAT ISN'T TRUE.
I THINK THAT STATEMENT APPLIES TO THIS DISCUSSION
THIS EVENING VERY MUCH.
VIRTUALLY ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IN HIGH SCHOOL
HAVE LEARNED THAT THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES.
YOU PROBABLY HEARD ABOUT THE TEACHER WHO SAID TO
HIS CLASS, "YOU CAN KNOW NOTHING FOR CERTAIN."
ONE STUDENT SAID, "TEACHER, ARE YOU SURE?"
HE SAID, "I'M CERTAIN."
(LAUGH)
IF YOU WERE TO ASK A HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE HOW IT IS
THAT THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES, HOW IT IS THAT
EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE AND ALL TRUTH IS RELATIVE, HE
WILL EITHER LOOK AT YOU BLANKLY AND NOT HAVE THE
FAINTEST IDEA WHY THAT IS SO OTHER THAN THAT HE HAS
BEEN TOLD IT IS SO OR HE MAY IF HE IS SOMEWHAT MORE
ERUDITE TELL YOU "HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF
EINSTEIN?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE PAST FIFTY YEARS?
HAVEN'T YOU EVER READ THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY?
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT WE LIVE IN A RELATIVISTIC
UNIVERSE AND THAT EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE?
AND THAT SETTLES THE MATTER.
EINSTEIN SAID IT, AND IT MUST BE SO."
NO HE DIDN'T.
THIS IS WHAT HE SAID: "RELATIVITY APPLIES TO THE
REALM OF PHYSICS- NOT ETHICS."
SO HOW IS IT THAT EINSTEIN'S THEORY HAS BEEN
TRANSPORTED INTO EVERY OTHER DISCIPLINE AND WE
HAVE ENDED UP IN AMERICA TODAY WITH ALMOST A TOTAL
MORAL RELATIVISM WHICH SOMEHOW HAS BEEN DEDUCED
FROM EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY AND WHICH HAS
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATEVER TO DO WITH ETHICS
OR MORALS.
NOW, SOMETIMES STUDENTS DON'T REALIZE THAT WHEN A
TEACHER OR PROFESSOR SAYS THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES,
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS SAYING.
HE IS ALSO SAYING THERE IS NO GOD.
BECAUSE, YOU SEE, GOD IS THE ULTIMATE ABSOLUTE.
HE IS ABSOLUTELY SUPREME; HE IS ABSOLUTELY INFINITE
IN HIS POWER AND HIS WISDOM AND HIS KNOWLEDGE
AND EVERYTHING, ALL OF HIS ATTRIBUTES.
GOD IS THE ULTIMATE ABSOLUTE AND WHAT HE SAYS
IS THE ULTIMATE AND ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
THEREFORE, KEEP IN MIND THAT WHEN ANYONE SAYS
THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES, THEY ARE SIMPLY GIVING YOU
A VEILED AND CLOAKED ATHEISM.
NOT ONLY IS IT TRUE THAT WHEN PEOPLE SAY THERE ARE
NO ABSOLUTES, ARE THEY SAYING THAT THERE IS NO
GOD, BUT THEY ARE ALSO SAYING THERE IS NO WORD OF
GOD- THAT THE SCRIPTURES ARE NOT THE WORD OF GOD.
NOW, THE BIBLE SAYS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
JESUS SAID OF THE WORD, "THY WORD IS TRUTH" (JOHN 17:17B).
AND THAT, "HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY, BUT
ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE OF THE LAW SHALL IN NO WISE
PASS AWAY TILL ALL BE FULFILLED" (MATTHEW 5:18).
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT IT IS TRUTH; IT IS TRUTH
REVEALED FROM GOD.
THEREFORE, IT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
WHEN GOD'S WORD SAYS SOMETHING THAT IS THE WORD
OF GOD AND THAT IS TRUE.
NOW THAT IS NOT BASED MERELY ON SOME
PREDILECTION ON MY PART OR THOSE WHO BELIEVE, BUT
IT IS BASED UPON EVIDENCE.
GOD GIVES EVIDENCE WHEREBY WE MAY KNOW THAT THE
SCRIPTURES ARE INDEED THE WORD OF GOD- EVIDENCE
WHICH HAS CONVINCED HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS.
NOW, WHEN PEOPLE SAY THERE ARE NO ABSOLUTES, THEY
ARE ALSO SAYING THAT JESUS CHRIST IS NOT THE SON OF
GOD, BECAUSE AS GOD THE SON, HE HIMSELF IS
ABSOLUTE.
HE IS WITHOUT SIN, WITHOUT IMPERFECTION- HE WAS THE
ALTOGETHER PERFECT ONE.
KEEP IN MIND THAT WHENEVER A PERSON SAYS THERE ARE NO
ABSOLUTES, THEY ARE SAYING THERE IS NO GOD, THE BIBLE
IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST IS NOT
THE SON OF GOD.
I THINK WE NEED TO SEE THAT THAT IS QUITE A LOT
OF TRANSPORTING THE TRUTHS FROM PHYSICS INTO THE
REALM OF RELIGION AND MORALITY.
NOW, WITH RELATIVISTIC MORALS, THERE ALSO COMES
SUBJECTIVISM.
THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE STANDARD OUTSIDE, AND NOW
TODAY WE NO LONGER TALK ABOUT MORALS, WE TALK
ABOUT "VALUES," A TERM THAT NIETZSCHE GAVE TO US.
VALUES ARE SIMPLY ANYTHING THAT ANYONE CHOOSES TO
PLACE A VALUE UPON.
SOMEHOW, WE HAVE COME TO A PLACE OF BELIEVING THAT
EVERY PERSON HAS SOME AUTHORITY TO DECIDE
WHATEVER IS GOOD OR BAD FOR HIM, WHATEVER IS RIGHT
OR WRONG, WHATEVER IS OF VALUE AND WHAT IS NOT OF
VALUE.
OF COURSE, A COROLLARY OF THAT IS THAT HE CANNOT
IMPOSE THAT UPON ANYONE ELSE.
YOU CAN'T IMPOSE YOUR VALUES ON SOMEONE ELSE,
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE, AS LONG AS YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT MERELY VALUES WHICH WE HAVE SIMPLY ACCEPTED.
GOD'S LAW, HOWEVER, APPLIES TO ALL CREATED
BEINGS, BECAUSE HE IS THE CREATOR AND HE WILL APPLY
IT TO ALL OF THEM WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
ANOTHER COROLLARY OF THAT IS THAT SINCE OUR VALUES
AND MORES DO NOT COME FROM GOD, THEY MUST COME FROM
SOME SOURCE THAT INFLUENCES US, AND THAT IS
CULTURAL.
SO THESE VALUES, THESE MORALS, ARE RELATIVISTIC,
THEY ARE INDIVIDUAL, THEY ARE SUBJECTIVE, AND THEY
ARE CULTURALLY INDUCED.
ONE PERSON SAYS, "WE DON'T LIVE OUR LIVES
RELATIVISTICALLY."
IF YOU ARE WAITING IN YOUR CAR AT A TRAIN CROSSING,
AND A THERE'S A TRAIN, HUGE TRAIN COMING AT 60
MILES AN HOUR.
YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU GET YOUR CAR OUT IN FRONT OF
THAT TRAIN, YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE
"RELATIVELY" DEAD- YOU ARE GOING TO BE "ABSOLUTELY"
DEAD.
WE CAN'T LIVE BY THAT.
NUMEROUS SOCIAL CRITICS, PHILOSOPHERS, AND SOCIAL
SCIENTISTS ARE SAYING THAT IT IS THIS VIEW OF MORAL
RELATIVISM THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CAUSING THE
MORALITY OF THIS NATION TO CRUMBLE BEFORE OUR EYES,
BUT OVER AGAINST THE MORAL RELATIVISM OF OUR TIME, I
THINK WE NEED DESPERATELY TO REASSERT THE FACT OF
WHAT JESUS CHRIST SAID.
HE SAID: "YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH
SHALL MAKE YOU FREE" (JOHN 8:32).
"YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE"
NOW WE ARE TOLD THAT WE CAN'T KNOW TRUTH- THAT WE
CAN'T KNOW ANYTHING FOR CERTAIN.
GRANTED, SCIENCE ONLY GIVES HIGH PROBABILITIES,
BUT THROUGH REVELATION AND RELIGION, WE CAN KNOW
TRUTH.
THE SCRIPTURES SAY, "THESE THINGS ARE WRITTEN THAT
YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE" (I JOHN 5:13).
I AM HAPPY TO SAY THAT I KNOW THAT I HAVE ETERNAL
LIFE.
I KNOW THAT SHOULD I DIE TODAY, I WILL BE WITH
CHRIST FOREVER.
I HAVE NOT ALWAYS KNOWN THAT.
WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN, ABOUT TWO YEARS AFTER
COLLEGE, I HEARD THE GOSPEL, AND I CAME TO KNOW
THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU, MY FRIEND, DO YOU KNOW
THAT?
DO YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL
LIFE?
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS THAT THESE THINGS ARE WRITTEN
THAT WE MAY KNOW THAT.
NOW SAD TO SAY, MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE REJECTED
SCRIPTURAL TRUTH HAVE NOT DONE IT FOR THE REASONS
THAT SOMETIMES PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY HAVE.
FOR EXAMPLE, NIETZSCHE REJECTED THE SCRIPTURES.
HE REJECTED CHRISTIANITY.
HE HATED RELIGION.
HE HATED CHRISTIANITY, IN PARTICULAR, AND HE IS, OF
COURSE, THE ONE WHO SAID GOD IS DEAD.
THE AMAZING THING IS THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
BELIEVED HIM.
HE NEVER PROVED IT; HE JUST ASSEVERATED IT.
IT'S ONE THING TO DECLARE SOMETHING; IT IS ANOTHER
THING TO PROVE IT.
SOMEBODY WROTE UPON A BUILDING GRAFFITI IT SAID,
"GOD IS DEAD -NIETZSCHE."
SOMEONE ELSE CAME ALONG AND WROTE, "NIETZSCHE IS
DEAD -GOD."
(LAUGH)
IT IS BETTER TO DEBATE AN ISSUE BEFORE SETTLING IT,
SAID ONE PHILOSOPHER THAN SETTLING AN ISSUE BEFORE
DEBATING IT.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT NIETZSCHE DID.
LET ME TELL YOU, NO ONE HAS EVER PROVED THAT GOD
IS DEAD OR THAT GOD DOESN'T EXIST.
IN FACT ATHEISM, IF YOU DON'T KNOW IT, IS
IRRATIONAL.
I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THAT.
TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO GOD IS TO ASSERT WHAT IN
LOGIC IS CALLED A "UNIVERSAL NEGATIVE."
IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT NO HUMAN BEING CAN PROVE ANY
UNIVERSAL NEGATIVE.
YOU CANNOT PROVE THAT NOWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE
ARE THERE LITTLE GREEN MEN, YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT.
YOU CANNOT PROVE THAT NOWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE IS
THERE A BEING SUCH AS GOD.
IN ORDER TO PROVE THAT, YOU WOULD HAVE TO KNOW
WHAT IS IN EVERY PART OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE, WHICH
IS TO SAY: IN ORDER TO PROVE THAT THERE IS NO
GOD, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE GOD.
THEN YOU WOULD HAVE PROVED YOURSELF WRONG.
(LAUGH)
NO, MY FRIENDS, GOD IS NOT DEAD.
THAT HAS NEVER BEEN PROVED, BUT THOSE WHO HAVE
COME TO KNOW HIM HAVE COME TO KNOW THAT HE IS VERY
MUCH ALIVE.
AND YOU KNOW LIFE WITHOUT MEANING, THAT'S THE REASON
SO MANY COLLEGE STUDENTS COMMIT SUICIDE TODAY
BECAUSE LIFE HAS BEEN ROBBED OF ALL OF ITS
MEANING AND SIGNIFICANCE, AND IF ALL THERE IS AT THE
END IS A PILE OF ASHES AND A SKULL.
THAT IS JUST NOT GOING TO SUFFICE, BECAUSE THE SOUL
IS GOING TO PEEK OUT AROUND THE DAY AFTER
TOMORROW AND DESIRE SOME ASSURANCE OF A CONTINUING
EXISTENCE IN A BETTER AND FINER WORLD.
GOD HAS PLACED IMMORTALITY WITHIN THE HEART OF MAN
AND WE CAN'T GET AROUND IT.
LIFE CANNOT BE LIVED WITHOUT MEANING AND HOPE.
AS A YOUNG MAN, I HEARD THE GOSPEL FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN MY LIFE.
I LIVED TO BE 24 WITHOUT EVER KNOWING IT, BUT I
HEARD OF THIS INCREDIBLE LOVE OF ONE THAT LOVED ME
SO MUCH AS TO BE WILLING TO COME DOWN FROM GLORY
AND GO TO A SHAMEFUL CROSS TO HANG NAKED UPON THAT
AGONIZING TREE.
THERE TO HAVE IMPUTED BY HIS FATHER, MY GUILT, UPON
HIM AND TO TAKE IN MY PLACE THE PENALTY FOR SIN
THAT I CONDIGNLY DESERVED TO TAKE MYSELF.
WHAT HE ENDURED WE CANNOT KNOW, WE CANNOT
UNDERSTAND, THE PAINS THAT HE HAD TO BEAR, BUT I
BELIEVE IT WAS FOR US HE HUNG AND SUFFERED THERE.
I CAME TO SEE A LOVE THAT I HAD NEVER KNOWN BEFORE.
A PERSON WHO LOVED ME NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING THAT I
WAS, BUT IN SPITE OF EVERYTHING THAT I WAS; A
PERSON WHO LOVED ME PURELY AND ONLY BECAUSE OF WHAT
HE WAS; A GOD OF ALL GRACE AND A GOD OF LOVE; A GOD
THAT WAS WILLING UNCONDITIONALLY TO
FORGIVE ME OF ALL OF MY SINS AND TO ACCEPT ME INTO
HIS FAMILY; TO MAKE OF ME A NEW PERSON; TO CREATE A
NEW HEART WITHIN ME; TO CLOTHE ME IN THE ROBES OF
HIS OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TO MAKE ME HIS SON, AN
HEIR ETERNAL; AND TO ASSURE ME A PLACE IN
PARADISE WHICH HE PAID FOR ON THE CROSS AND
ASCENDED TO PREPARE IN HEAVEN.
I KNOW THIS DAY THIS NIGHT THAT I WILL BE WITH HIM,
AND I HAVE KNOWN THAT FOR A NUMBER OF DECADES NOW
AND IT GETS MORE GLORIOUS AND MORE WONDERFUL WITH
EVERY PASSING YEAR.
MY LIFE HAS MEANING.
I KNOW THAT I AM A CHILD OF THE KING!
I AM OF A ROYAL FAMILY!
MY FATHER IS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!
I KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN CLEANSED AND GIVEN A GREAT
AND GLORIOUS PASSION FOR THIS WORLD AND A PURPOSE
FOR THIS WORLD, THAT I SHOULD INDEED PROCLAIM THE
GLORIOUS GLAD TIDINGS THAT GOD LOVES SINNERS AND IS
WILLING TO ACCEPT THEM AS THEY ARE, IF THEY WILL
REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND PLACE THEIR TRUST IN THE
DIVINE SON OF GOD, WHO SO LOVED THEM AND SO SUFFERED
IN THEIR PLACE.
AND DEAR FRIEND, I SAW THAT LOVE THAT NIGHT AS I
WAS SEATED ALONE IN MY APARTMENT, AFTER HAVING
LIVED A VERY PROFLIGATE LIFE.
WHERE GOD AND CHRIST HAD NO PLACE IN MY LIFE.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT MY HEART MELTED BEFORE THAT
LOVE AND I SLIPPED OUT OF THAT EASY CHAIR ONTO MY
KNEES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFE AND I
SAID, "OH, GOD, I DIDN'T KNOW.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
FORGIVE ME.
I DIDN'T SEE ANY ANGELS; I HEARD NO ANGELIC CHOIRS,
BUT I STOOD UP FROM THAT PRAYER A DIFFERENT MAN!
THE NEXT MORNING, WHILE I WAS SHAVING, I REMEMBER
THE THOUGHT CAME INTO MY MIND: JESUS CHRIST THE SON
OF GOD DECLARES THAT I AM GOING TO LIVE WITH HIM IN
PARADISE FOREVER.
A CHILL WENT RIGHT DOWN MY SPINE, AND THAT, MY DEAR
FRIENDS, IS THE GREATEST ABSOLUTE I HAVE EVER
LEARNED AND IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED IT, IF YOU
HAVE NOT CLAIMED IT, GOD INVITES YOU TO COME TO HIM
AND RECEIVE THE FREE GIFT OF EVERLASTING LIFE.
MAY WE PRAY.
O GOD, THOU HAST MADE US FOR THYSELF AND OUR HEARTS
ARE RESTLESS TILL THEY REST IN THEE.
THERE ARE SOME HERE TONIGHT LORD, WHOSE HEARTS
ARE JUST THAT WAY.
THEY HAVE SOUGHT FULFILLMENT, AS AUGUSTINE
DID, IN LEARNING, IN EDUCATION, IN KNOWLEDGE,
BUT THAT GOD-SHAPED BLANK WITHIN THEIR HEARTS HAS
NOT BEEN FILLED.
LORD, I PRAY THAT RIGHT NOW, YOU WILL ENABLE THEM,
AS SO MANY HAVE DONE BEFORE, TO SAY: "O,
CHRIST, I SURRENDER MY LIFE TO YOU.
I KNOW I AM A SINNER UNDERNEATH ALL OF THE
PRETENSIONS.
I KNOW THAT I HAVE DONE MANY THINGS THAT I AM
ASHAMED OF.
HOW MUST YOU, THE ALL-HOLY GOD LOOK UPON THEM?
AND YET, AMAZING TO SAY, YOU ARE WILLING TO WASH ME
WHITER THAN SNOW, TO FORGIVE ME, TO CLEANSE ME,
AND TO ACCEPT ME AS YOUR CHILD, NOW AND EVERMORE.
WHEN THE STARS HAVE BURNT INTO CINDERS, AND THIS
UNIVERSE HAS COLLAPSED, I WILL STILL BE WITH YOU AND
WILL ONLY HAVE JUST BEGUN TO LIVE WITH YOU FOREVER.
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, MY LORD AND MY GOD, I PRAY."
AMEN.

SINCERELY FROM YOU HEART, THEN WE WOULD LIKE TO
OFFER YOU A SPECIAL GIFT.

Introduction to Moonshots | Pwaacademy Science #1 - Duration: 6:14.
Hi, I'm Alexa and this is Pwaacademy, a project of the Philippine Independent Club
of Alpacas AKA PICA.
Today, we'll be tackling the Science and Technology section of the World Scholar's
Cup curriculum.
Let's get started.
First, what is a moonshot?
No, it's not some fancy drink that you can order at a bar. :D
Though I wouldn't know :P
And no, it no longer simply refers to the very first shot to the moon.
But from this example, we can then relate this term to what it means in the arena of
technology today.
Google defines a moonshot as a project that addresses a huge problem, proposes a radical
solution, and uses breakthrough technology.
We'll get into how this definition relates to the original moonshot in a succeeding video,
but for now, let's explore a few historical efforts that may fit into these criteria.
Number one: Polynesian Exploration.
If you've ever watched the Disney film Moana, then you'd have a pretty good idea of how
crucial exploration was to the Polynesian people.
So Polynesia is a region composed of a few tiny islands in the Pacific.
When European explorers first stumbled upon these people like 500 years ago, they couldn't
possibly imagine how they had gotten there.
Later on, they came to accept the "impossible" answer.
The Polynesian settlers came all the way from Southeast Asia, and then set out eastwards
on their canoes, bringing their plants and animals with them, and using natural way finding
techniques to, well, find their way.
Next up: Global Circumnavigation.
Oooh, big word—but let's break it down.
Circum, latin for around, plus navigate.
Basically, just going around the world—but if say, I visited Santa and walked around
the North Pole, would that count?
That's why some people like to add another criterion, that is, that the halves of the Earth that
you travelled between have to be of comparable size.
The first voyage that circumnavigated the globe was headed by Ferdinand Magellan of
Spain.
They headed west towards Asia, and then ended up in the Philippines.
There, he aggravated some guy, and got killed.
Not just him—a lot of them got killed.
So, his second in command, Juan Sebastian Elcano, headed eastward back to Spain with
a meagre crew of 18 men, completing the circumnavigation.
Third: First Manned Flight.
You guessed it—our favourite brothers who are never wrong.
Or left.
The Wright brothers! :D
Al(w)right, so, Wilbur and Orville flew their airplane for 12 grand seconds in 1903, revolutionising
fixed-wing powered flight in the first manned, powered, heavier-than-air, and controlled
flight.
They started out working with bicycles, and ended up inventing an airplane!!!
But before them came several other aviation pioneers, like these guys who flew a hot air
balloon, and this guy who invented a steam-powered airship, and this guy who went all Batman!
Cool (w)right?
But the Wright brothers were the first ones who could, to some extent, control their flying
machine, which is pretty important, don't you think?
Fourth: Supersonic Travel That is, traveling faster than the speed of
sound, which is Mach 1.
Like that dude from the Parent Trap who wanted to surprise his wife so he took the Concorde.
Which is actually one of only two SSTs (or supersonic transports) to have ever seen regular
service, the other being the Tupolev Tu-144.
But traveling faster than sound creates that really annoying sonic boom, which is like really,
really loud.
Also, building really fast airplanes means really expensive technology, so eventually,
both of the SSTs were discontinued.
Next, mind control!
We've all seen it in movies when the bad guys use different drugs to try and control the good
guys and make them do EVIL.
Well, the theory of mind control basically started in the same way.
During the Korean War, some American soldiers got captured and became prisoners of war.
And when these captured people started defending their captors or siding with the enemy, the
US government said that it was just because they had been brainwashed.
And they even started their own project to try and learn how to brainwash people.
So sketchy.
Finally, the creation of the internet.
So if you watch this video by Kurzgesagt, then it explains it very very well already.
But here's my own little summary.
First, of course, computers had to be developed sometime in the 1950s.
Then, packet switching networks, which break data into packets before sending them
off, were invented.
They had to set protocol, the TCP/IP on how to send data around.
Finally, Tim Berners-Lee made the World Wide Web, so that people could access this data
through websites and hyperlinks the way that we do today.
So all those were a bunch of moonshots from the past, right?
So who is working on moonshots now?
That would be none other than Google's semi-secret lab called X. Basically, they're the guys
who work on some really cool projects where they try and try and try and fail and fail and fail—but
sometimes, they succeed.
Like Waymo, a self-driving car.
And Google Watch.
They've had moonshots for communications, photography, AI, buildings, healthcare, and more, which
you can find if you just Google them :D
Currently, they're working on Makani, an energy kite that's basically a more efficient
wind turbine; Project Wing, automated delivery bots; and my personal favorite, Project Loon.
Balloons.
That bring internet to people.
So those are the bare bones of what we'll be exploring in terms of moonshots this season.
They are awesome projects, by awesome people, who are trying to do awesome things.
In this unlikely world, anything is possible—and moonshot science is the great belief in that
"anything".
If you liked this video, let me know so that I can make more of them.
Share it with your friends, and brainwash them with some moonshot science :D

Tanki Online V-LOG: Episode 129 - Duration: 8:11.
Hello tankers!
In today's episode, we'll be discussing the latest update.
We'll also be telling you about how you can earn yourself a VERY rare paint,
and what's coming your way for the April Fool's Day event.
The first piece of news for today is that,
following our experiments with micro-upgrades for M0s and M1s,
we've also made changes to the micro-upgrade steps
for M2 and M3 modifications.
Now, M2s only have 10 upgrade steps like M0 and M1.
However, M3s have 20.
This will keep the price lower, and make it possible to upgrade more regularly.
We've also increased rank brackets for battles,
so now there will be more battles available for everyone.
It might look like the players with lower ranks
will have a hard time in these battles, but that's not exactly true.
First of all, we've only added a couple of ranks,
so the change is quite small.
Additionally, in recent updates,
we've reduced the difference between high ranks and low ranks,
so the gap won't be so noticeable.
More importantly, it's now a lot easier to find battles.
Another important change is that with this update,
Daily Mission objectives can only be completed in regular, NON-pro battles.
Originally, we created daily missions as a bonus for players who play regularly.
But eventually, players began to abuse this system
by farming supplies and crystals in private battles with mults.
Of course, we have nothing against special rules for closed battles,
as long as they respect the Game Rules.
But when players take advantage of Daily Missions like this... we don't like it.
Of course, we understand that not everyone is trying to cheat the system,
so we've increased the rewards for daily missions by 10%
to compensate honest players.
There's one more part to the latest update,
and it has to do with the dreaded Critical Error.
In episode 126, we told you about critical errors in Tanki Online,
and what triggers them.
What happens, is that sometimes,
there is an unusual chain of events in the game.
Because of this, the client or browser go nuts and the error is triggered.
For the browser and client,
the critical error is like a protective mechanism
that is triggered in situations that it can't deal with.
With this update, we have removed the protective mechanism that triggers the error.
This is a very important step in the direction of finally solving the problem.
However, it has a side effect.
After the update, all the consequences of these unusual chains of events,
will start showing up in the game.
Some of them won't be noticeable.
But others will result in a number of visible bugs,
such as missing textures.
We think that these consequences
are not as bad as being kicked from a battle and losing all your progress.
Now our job is to catch and eliminate all the game bugs we find,
just like doctor House.
Salvation is close.
Esports!
Next week, there will be 2 great matches for the Lords of the Points tournament.
On the 4th of April,
the Grand Final for the tournament's Economy category, will take place.
And the next day, on the 5th of April,
the best of the best will showdown in the grand final for the VIP category.
These masters of tank combat will battle it out for the Championship title,
a very rare paint, the super cool Spectrum module
with 20% resistance against all turrets, and other prizes.
This tournament has turned out to be very exciting,
and it's impossible to guess who will win, because it's CP mode.
For example, Cartell, one of the toughest teams in the tournament,
was beaten by Death Squad.
Invincible, another well-known team, lost to their opponents 0:3.
And the favorites for the Economy category, Armenians,
were eliminated early in the tournament.
Now, if you want in on the action, we've got some great news for you.
We've just opened registrations for the new Masters of the Sword tournament.
There are three categories: Solo, Tandem and Trio.
Any tanker with a rank of Brigadier or higher,
can participate and win crystals, hulls and turrets, including XT,
as well as Spectrum modules, Gold boxes and the unique paints Gladiator and Impulse.
And now, the event you've all been looking forward to
April Fools Day celebrations.
We've already kicked off the festivities on the 30th of March,
with discounts on Shop kits, as well as Micro Upgrades and speed-ups.
But the main event will start on the first of April,
and there are lots of goodies coming.
This Saturday, on the first of April, for 24 hours,
we'll have 30-percent discounts on all items in the Garage,
except micro-upgrades and speed-ups, which will remain at 25% off.
In-game festivities will also start on Saturday,
and go on till Sunday with the holiday paints, decorations, new gifts, and…
crazy gold boxes!
These will give you crystals, or some kind of surprise, such as:
All supplies activated.
That's double armor, double damage, and speed boost for 5 minutes.
And yes, the supplies will remain active even if your tank is destroyed.
Or you can become invincible for 1 minute,
which would allow you to deliver at least one or 2 flags.
Of course, April Fool's day is all about playing jokes on people,
so some of the gold boxes will contain a bomb
that will destroy everyone within a radius of 10 meters.
Additionally, the special golds can also reward you with,
1, 2 or 3 days of Premium Account.
A good gold hunter could probably farm a couple of weeks of Premium.
Now, crystals.
The special golds can hold a thousand, five thousand,
ten thousand, and even FIFTY thousand crystals!!!
And then there's the contest!
We'll be giving out a fully upgraded Magnum
to 3 tankers who can catch a 5,10 or 50 thousand crystal gold box.
On a final note,
here are two important things you need to know about the special golds,
so pay attention.
First of all, the full supply set and invincibility effects
will disappear if you try to change your equipment.
Second, all of the effects we've mentioned, only apply to the RANDOM gold boxes.
Player-dropped golds will have a regular look
and will contain the usual amount of one thousand crystals.
It's time to check out the best video from last week.
And the theme for next week is
How I caught a special April Fool's Day gold box.
Hurry up, you only have two days to shoot a video.
And since it's a special occasion,
we're adding 5 gold box supplies to our traditional reward of 50 thousand crystals.
Good luck!
That's all for today!
Next week, we'll be having a livestream instead of the VLOG,
and we'll be answering your questions live.
See ya!
A week ago Magnum fired a shell into a circle of tanks,
and you had to guess how many of them would take damage.
The correct answer is 5.
Here are our winners, and here's the new question.

Insane Beauty Standards Across Different Cultures! - Duration: 12:31.
Here are beauty standards from around the world!
10 - Surgical Bandages Where would you suspect to be the nose-job
capital of the world?
USA?
UK?
Western Europe?
Try Iran...
Yes, Iran!
As a nation, Iran has a very high level of image-consciousness in both men and women.
Yet the preferred method of showing this off is not only to undergo plastic surgery, but
make it as obvious as possible that you actually had plastic surgery!
The application of a surgical bandage across the nose is seen as a sign of high status.
It's displaying that the wearer has the finances to work up to a higher level of beauty.
Although after going under the knife a bandage is probably recommended, people with this
obsession will often wear the bandage for much longer than needed.
Can't afford a nose-job but want to make the same status?
Not a problem, as many simply buy themselves a surgical bandage and place it over their
nose anyway, regardless of whether they've had any work done or not.
9 - Metatah Bali is home to a very traditional beauty
technique known as Metatah, which roughly translates to teeth filing.
There is a very strong belief that to have or to see people with sharpened teeth is extremely
attractive.
To be seen with large, natural fang-like teeth symbolizes social wellbeing, spiritual wellbeing
and a serious appreciation for beauty.
Overall it's a symbol of self-confidence and form, a quality we're all told to express
in any social occasion….not that it always works, of course
It's also believed to be a ritual which is designed to rid the person's body and
mind of jealousy, sadistic ideas, and uncontrollable urges or anger.
The people of Bali associate teeth with similar issues as the seven deadly sins.
Which is why although the procedure can be simply carried out by dentists, it's often
performed as a glamorous ceremony where family and friends are invited to come and watch
the teeth filing take place.
8 - Scarification Where many think of tattooing as simply injecting
ink under the skin, Ethiopian and Sudanese tribes have been creating their own body-art
with permanent scars for thousands of generations.
Scarification, also known as self-scarring, is seen as an alluring feature on the body.
Self-scarring can be practiced absolutely anywhere on the body.
It's often first carried out during puberty as a symbol for coming of age.
Many choose to create an eye-catching pattern around the belly-button, but some decide to
go for the chest, arms, hands and even face.
Some even really go for it and cover themselves head to toe in these eye-catching scar patterns.
A simple straight-line scar as many of us familiarize simply won't do.
The designs and the results can be absolutely unbelievable.
Hours and hours of self-inflicted pain and hard work pays off with extremely detailed,
precise patterns and symbols.
The art is carried out on bare skin with a small blade for maximum detail.
Some go to such extremes that they can master the skill of completely re-shaping the skin,
giving a textured design.
This doesn't only represent sexuality, but also strength, maturity and discipline to
the rest of the tribe.
It's very unlikely it'd catch on in the western world but I'm gonna have to say the
results are quite spectacular.
7 - Skin Bleach While many of us thrive for a bronzed, sun
kissed tan throughout the year, much of Eastern Asia has a very different idea.
Pure, pale skin on women has been the desired appearance of many people in Asia.
1000s of years ago, royal maids known as Geishas in China, Thailand and Japan would have their
faces powdered and painted a brilliant white.
This was to represent purity and innocence to whomever they were serving or entertaining
With this long running tradition in mind, pale skin in this part of the world is still
extremely sought after.
The level of whiteness that ladies from Asia desire is often that of the traditional Geishas.
Thus, face bleach has become increasingly popular in the beauty market.
This is a recent trend in Chinese cosmetics.
A level of specially designed bleach is added to face creams and moisturizers which will
not only eventually pale and whiten the skin, but is also said to remove freckles and other
'imperfections' for a near resemblance of that world famous Geisha look.
6 - Double Eyelid Surgery The double eyelid surgery is a plastic surgery
that's extremely popular in Japan and South Korea.
The operations seem to be a result of the types of people being highly influenced by
the Japanese and South Korean pop-culture.
This practice is a cosmetic procedure which involves altering the shape of the eye and
the structure of the eyelid, making the eyes wider and bolder.
There are, of course, many people in Asia with natural double eyelids; however, single
eyelids are much more common in the eastern world.
Many girls who undergo this practice are often criticized for trying to 'stop looking Asian'.
Much of this is influenced by Japanese pop-idols and models; a majority of young women carry
this look in the hope that they'll seem more approachable to western pop-culture.
Plus, it's yet another status symbol demonstrating healthy living, as well as being a bold but
subliminal statement of "Oh look at me!
I'm on the road to gaining 'true' beauty".
5 - Long Necks Throughout Thailand and Myanmar - particularly
to those of the Kayan tribe on the Thai – Myanmar border - a long, slender, giraffe-like neck
is seen as a sign of regality and elegance in women.
Girls first start to wear rings when they are around 5 years old.
Over the years, the coil is replaced by a longer one and more turns are added.
The weight of the brass pushes the collar bone down and compresses the rib cage.
The neck itself is actually not lengthened; the appearance of a stretched neck is created
by the deformation of the clavicle.
As the years go by, more and more heavy, brass ring coils are added up the young girl's
neck until an incredible weight of up to 22 pounds of metal is coiled around the girl's
neck.
The 'long-neck women' of Thailand have become renowned throughout the world.
Because of their unusual appearance to different cultures, they often find themselves simply
being a human exhibit for western tourists.
The government of Myanmar began discouraging neck rings as it was trying to appear more
modern to the developed world.
Consequently, many women in Myanmar began breaking the tradition, though a few older
women and some of the younger girls in remote villages continued to wear rings.
In Thailand, the practice has gained popularity in recent years, because it draws tourists
who bring revenue to the tribe and to the local businessmen who run the villages and
collect an entry fee of 500 to 600 baht per person, which translates to around 20 us dollars.
4 - South Korean Male Vanity Men in South Korea are globally known for
their healthy skin.
They could potentially be some of the vainest, image conscious men in the planet.
Well, in Asia at least.
In many parts of the world, masculine beauty is classed with muscular tones and avoiding
many cosmetics which could be implied as products aimed at women.
But in South Korea, male vanity spins this theory right around...
Rather than aiming to be overly stocky or 'ripped', soft features with a particularly
slight muscle tone is the trend.
Sounds fairly rational so far, don't it?
But when it comes to facial vanity they take it slightly more seriously.
To appear youthful and active in South Korea is considered extremely attractive, so high
levels of makeup and facial cosmetics aimed at men have swamped the shelves.
Mascara, lipstick, and foundation are must have products for most men in the country,
and a lot of men take it extremely seriously.
But the male vanity doesn't stop there; men in South Korea are also very reliant on
plastic surgery, aiming for a smaller, pointier nose and wider eyes.
If this is pulled off successfully, you can end up a highly popular and attractive gentleman.
HMMMM INTERESTING!!!
3 - Ta Moko Ta Moko is an ancient traditional style of
facial tattoos.
New Zealand's Maori people regard this as a sacred art of personal beauty.
Originally, the artwork was applied to the face, often mainly the chin for women, by
chiseling the skin with a small, sharp, home-made chisel and a miniature mallet.
Traditionalists still fully stand by this method whereas some followers of the fashion
try to mimic the design by modern tattoo methods.
The skin indentations are styled in a particular pattern which are then filled with the dye.
The lips are also colored along with the face decorations.
In Maori tradition, men and women both use these unique tattoos to symbolize specific
statuses; For women, Ta Moko is used to imply strength
and fertility, as well as beauty and pride.
For men of the Maori tribe, it is in place to symbolize readiness for adult duties.
Each design is unique to the wearer, giving them their own definition for their design
and the flow of the pattern.
To look at now, you could easily think it was simply a modern day tattoo; but that just
goes to show how influential the Ta Moko is.
2 - Lip Plate The famous Lip Plate is considered a symbol
of extreme beauty in the Mursi tribe in Ethiopia.
It's also there to represent a desire to be accepted by a man of the tribe and to possibly
marry.
The women of the tribe wear their lip plate on a daily basis.
Once they reach puberty or their late teens, the process begins.
The Lip Plate is started by creating a small hole in the girl's lower lip with a small
stick or twig.
To leave a space for the plate to sit, often two of the lower teeth are also removed.
Yeaaaah that doesn't sound too fun.
Not really as simple or pain free as adding a little lip stick or something.
As time goes by, the hole is stretched to an amazing size, sometimes the same radius
as an average soup bowl .The largest lip plate recorded was in Ethiopia, measuring 23.4 in
in circumference and 7.6 in wide, in 2014.
The plate is often made of wood or clay and each decorated with a unique design.
The more eye-catching the plate, the more alluring and desirable the woman in question
will be seen.
This traditional act of vanity has been in practice within the tribe for many centuries.
Tragically, many of these women were kidnapped and put in exhibitions in many circuses in
the US in the late 19th century.
1 - Leblouh This one sounds more like a medieval form
of torture than a beauty procedure to many of us.
It's a bit like the super-skinny obsession in most western cultures but in complete reverse.
In Mauritius, obesity in women is seen as a status symbol and most likely to attract
a rich, successful husband.
Obesity represents wealth, healthy living and wholesomeness to the husband, displaying
to all that he can provide well and is successful in his job or in the bedroom.
Girls as young as 10 are sent away to 'fat farms' and are put under a strict practice
known as 'leblouh', which is basically intensive force feeding.
It is a very strict process in many fat farms.
Girls can sometimes even be beaten with canes or have their feet stamped if they refuse
to eat anymore.
The girls are force fed a diet of goat's milk, oily couscous and ground millet with
water, among other things.
Eventually their bodies expand and bulge out like beach balls.
All this in the hope that they will be able to wed a successful, handsome husband in the
future.
Thankfully, these fat-farms are now a dying breed, however, it IS still practiced in certain
areas of the world.
Here's what's next!
