The working class has always been steeped in negative stereotypes and prejudices.

Although there are pervasive ideas about who a worker is.

these notions rarely come from workers themselves.

In literature, testimonials and narratives from working class individuals

paint a very different picture of who a worker is and can be.

Magnus Nilsson is Professor of Literature at Malmö University

and has, together with his American colleague John Lennon, created an anthology

comprised of working class literary fiction titled Working-Class Literature(s).

Nilsson hopes the book will widen the discussion on class.

Class is an extremely important concept with a very long academic history.

but for various reasons it has not become a hotly debated subject in today's society

Many researchers are also interested in other types of inequality

such as gender, ethnicity, racialisation and so on.

Although these are very important, they still differ somewhat from class inequality.

Another reason that the issue of class has come to the fore

could be because political debate has tended to focus on completely different things

and many politicians would perhaps rather brush over economic injustices.

Looking back at working class literature, we can see

how the working class has changed over time.

For instance, in Sweden, there has been a big shift from industrial production to service and care work.

This has led to a feminisation of the working class, meaning that the working class

comprises many more women now than before.

Nevertheless, when we think of a worker, we often think of a man in overalls.

Literature is way ahead of journalists and politicians in this regard.

Through literature, we can thus get an insight into the new ways in which class is structured in society

and understand its mechanisms. I believe this is imperative.

Mass Shootings Are a Symptom of a Problem That Gun Control Won't - Duration: 7:01.

Mass Shootings Are a Symptom of a Problem That

Gun Control Won�t Solve

While the outrage and horror being expressed about the most recent mass school shooting

that took place on Valentine�s Day in Florida is certainly warranted, the anger is incredibly

displaced.

Anger, disappointment, fear and sadness are all acceptable and understandable emotions

to experience after an event such as this takes place in the United States or elsewhere.

But it is the elsewhere that I want to focus on right now.

We get upset, rightfully so, when a mass school shooting occurs.

We get upset when a black man is murdered by police.

We get upset at the opioid crisis and the consequences of a pharmaceutical industry

operating for profit seemingly unchecked.

We get upset about food boxes and walls and bans.

But we get upset at each of these things individually when, in fact, each of these things are actually

connected.

Each of these things are symptoms of a problem.

Thus far in 2018, there have been 18 school shootings.

We are only halfway through the second month of the year and numerous children have lost

their lives due to gun violence while in school, where their parents send them with the expectation

that they will learn, grow, and be safe.

In 2018, there have been 30 known mass shootings.

A mass shooting is defined as a shooting in which four or more people were shot during

a single event, not including the shooter.

Why is this a phenomenon that we see and have become sickeningly used to in the United States?

Our mental health statistics are comparable to many other nations.

And we are certainly not the only nation on the planet in which everyday citizens have

access to firearms.

So why are we the only country mourning the loss of young lives who were murdered in cold

blood while at school 18 times so far this year?

Our efforts to grasp at ideas and policies to curb control won�t solve the problem

of school shootings.

Universal healthcare won�t solve it.

Nor will open borders or a living wage or abolishing the NRA.

So what will?

The answers to these questions are simple but multifaceted.

The answer is obvious if you�re able to step back and look at the big picture of this

nation and the culture it has cultivated.

But most of us don�t.

Most of us react to each individual issue or event as if there is no correlation between

them and anything else.

We look at the issues on the surface and we grasp for a bandage for temporary relief.

School shootings are a symptom of a very large, very dangerous problem.

They are not simply a symptom of a need for gun control, or a symptom of a lack of accessible

mental health services, or a symptom of an over-medicated, desensitized youth population.

Our problem, a problem that has bled into every level of our society, is simple.

We are a nation that does not value life.

This country was built on the genocide of its native inhabitants and not long after

we bought and sold humans as if they were commodities.

We have occupied nations and murdered their inhabitants for years.

We have been at war with the idea of terror for SIXTEEN YEARS.

And we wholeheartedly support a nation actively engaged in apartheid.

Each one of these things is woven into the fabric of our very beings.

Each one of these things is connected to our identity as citizens of the United States.

And each one of these things influences the actions of our nation today.

On our own soil there continues to be a race and class struggle that results in the ruining

of lives and actual loss of life.

Halfway around the world our nation is responsible for the murder of innocent lives.

Every single day children die at the hands of the United States or because of something

our nation had its hands in.

There is no ignoring this and there is no way to gloss it over.

The United States is DIRECTLY responsible for the deaths of over 4 million Muslims.

Four million.

Pause for a moment and let that number sit in your mind.

Picture it and then try to picture 4 million people.

Do you even know what 4 million people looks like?

That�s the population of Los Angeles.

And who bats an eye?

Hardly anyone.

Collateral damage.

Consequences.

We make excuses daily.

But every time we allow more death and destruction in our names, we allow that death and destruction

to seep into the fabric of who we are.

The children who are dying at the hands of their classmates have lived in a world in

which their nation has been at war for their entire lives.

They see it on the news, they see television shows and movies that glorify the war on terror,

and they play video games set in actual war zones.

Most of us cannot even begin to imagine how this might influence development or perception

of the world, reality, and understanding of the role we play the greater collective of

humanity.

They have grown up with a constant enemy, a constant vibration of unrest and violence

in their universe.

So we find ourselves angry and saddened when these lives are lost.

And we are understandably eager to solve the problem so we bark out our idea of solutions

on social media, we cry, and we find ourselves glued to the news for the latest culprit of

what went wrong that allowed this young person to purchase a weapon and to have such hate

in their heart.

But the problem is us.

The problem is our culture.

As long as we praise a former president who carried out hundreds of drone strikes, as

long as we idly sit by while we provide the means for deadly famine in Yemen, as long

as we refuse to aid victims of natural disasters, continue to spend $8.3 million per hour on

war and perpetuate a culture of sexual exploitation of minors, school shootings, mass shootings,

and other untold violence will continue on our soil.

It�s high time we remove the bandages and repair the underlying disease and decay that

is embedded in the flesh of our nation.

We must fully grasp our place in the universal collective of the human race and act with

love, compassion and caring toward our physical neighbors as well as our brothers and sisters

across the globe.

We are one.

And until we act like it our nation will continue to crumble, and reports of school shootings

and violence will continue to flash across television screens across the country and

on smart phones in the hands of Americans

L'gosseux d'bois Ep 161 - Trépied en bois partie 2 - Duration: 14:20.

Hi, on The Woodpecker this week, I make the head of my tripod.

In my last episode, I managed to finish the body of my tripod.

In this one, I'm going to make the head and the finishing touch.

The first thing I do, is cut a piece of cherry and make the head with it.

I begin with the fixed part of the head.

After cutting all the four corners, I turn a cylinder.

When it's round, I drill a three quarter inch hole in its centre.

And before going any further, I check if this will fit over the broomstick.

Since it's a perfect fit, I can cut this to length, go back to the lathe and drill the central pivot hole.

Then, I turn over the piece and give it the shape I want.

This is what I ended up making.

But if I want a real tripod, I also need a pivoting and tilting head.

So I use the rest of the cherry and cut some box joints.

Next, I cut this to length.

And eventually this will end-up here.

But I would like it to be round like the base; so I chuck it on the lathe and drill the pivot hole.

To help me turn the bottom, I cut the corners and remove some wood.

Now I can turn it round.

OK, this doesn't hold that well on the chuck. I break my first blank.

I cut more box joints and turn its bottom.

But when I'm fed-up,

I drill the pivot hole.

If you wonder how many times I made this; well five times...

You can see the four broken ones and the one I'll use.

This is what it will look like;

but I still need to make the other part of the tilting mechanism.

So it's time to cut more box joints.

But this time, I widen the kerf just a bit because I don't want too tight a fit.

Now I can put both pieces together and drill the tilt pivot.

Next, I make both of them round.

This is perfect; but some sides are not aligned with each other.

I fix this with the drum sander.

Then, I cut a bolt; this will be my pan pivot.

And I glue it in place.

This will work just like this. But I have too much wood; I cut it to size.

On my tripod, I can remove and put my camera quickly with the wooden base I made.

I need to make something similar.

I begin by cutting a wide groove on each side of the top of the head.

Next, I move the fence and remove in between the grooves.

When I try this, I can see that it's too narrow.

I fix this right away.

I also remove the bottom's imperfections.

It's crazy how much I use those miniature tools!

To hold the camera in place, I need to cut a piece of wood at fifteen degrees.

Next, I glue it in place.

Since it's mostly end grain, I use epoxy to glue this.

To hold those two pieces together, I use this brass rod.

But I need to make wooden knobs, so for this, I'm going to use those.

The first thing to do, is to cut smaller pieces.

Then I drill a hole in the centre of one and glue the rod inside.

For the other side, I only turn it round.

Then I trace a nut shape on it and remove some wood so I can push a nut inside.

Job well done.

Now that the epoxy is cured, I can find the length I need and cut the rod.

After removing all four corners, I turn another knob.

Last thing to do, is to make some threads at the end.

Now that the epoxy of the wedge is dry, I plane the wood straight to the rest of the head.

On my tripod, the base is held by this lever.

So I need something sticking out of the head.

I cut a piece of wood and stick it to the head.

While the glue dries, I trace the shape of the lever and cut it.

I finish its shape on the sander.

I drill a small hole in the centre of the lever.

Then I transfer this position on the head.

Now I can drill a pilot hole but closer to the base than my mark.

After making a bigger hole in the lever, I can try it in place.

This works but I can't remove the base.

I mark what I need to remove and remove it.

This is great! Everything is going well.

But tripods also have an arm to guide the camera.

I'll also make one.

I begin by drilling a hole right through in the head, to the size of the brass rod.

The rod will end-up like this. I need two more knobs to hold the rod in place.

It's done; but I need to mark where the stopper will be glued.

But before gluing it in place, I file the rod a little so the glue will have something to grab to. And I glue the stopper.

Just like last time when I did the other knob, I trace a nut shape and remove some wood.

After pressing the nut in place, I can thread the brass rod.

This is ugly. I trace a half circle and cut some wood.

I still need to turn the handle.

It's done.

I just need to measure the length of the brass rod, cut it and glue it inside the handle.

All the pieces are done; I just need to wipe two coats of danish oil on them.

I wait twenty four hours before applying the second coat.

But when the finish is dry, I drill the holes to lock the last section in place.

Then I tap the wood.

And now, I can assemble the tripod.

On the leg, I use a carriage bolt to hold the second section in place.

And another bolt for the last section.

The tripod on its legs.

I can also put the broom in place.

After that, I can assemble the head.

This is quite simple;

I place the two pieces together, add a washer and screw a nut.

Then the head can go in place.

I also put together the tilting part.

But I notice that the legs can move too easily on the floor.

To fix this, I drill a hole in the middle of some small playing balls and slip them at the end of the legs.

This is much better. But looking at my plastic knobs, I hate them. I'll make some in wood.

I begin by cutting some pieces of maple.

Then I stick them together in a pack of three with double sided tape

and drill a hole in their middle.

Next, I give them a nicer shape.

Then, I trace the shape of the nut and remove some wood.

After pushing the nuts in place,

I remove some wood in the back.

Now I can change this ugly knob.

Next I do the same thing for the other knobs.

But on those ones, I use a bolt instead of a nut.

This adds a nice touch to my tripod.

And while I'm at it, I'm going to do something to hold my microphone's receiver on the tripod.

On my normal tripod, I modified a bolt so I can clip the receiver to it.

For my new one, I just need to cannibalize a clip from another tripod, drill a pilot hole and screw the clip onto it.

Now my tripod is totally finished;

when I look at it, I'm happy.

It's almost invisible in my shop with all the wood all around.

I have all the same functions that a commercial tripod has,

but I can film from higher up.

And even way higher.

Ok at this height, I still need a step ladder to move it around, but now I can take aerial shots from anywhere in my shop and in every single episode of The Woodpecker.
