Ahh, the great outdoors. Let's go for a walk in a local park shall we?

How's this one? Or this one? Or this one? Not so great looking?

Well, all of these parks have one thing in common: They are on the West Bank.

I recently spent some time traveling around city-run parks in Algiers where

my visits turned up things like rusting equipment, incomplete repairs and

construction that, in at least one case, seemed abandoned. Just one park actually

had striping complete on any of its fields. On one drive with Councilwoman

Kristen Gisleson Palmer, she got excited because the park's grass had been cut.

I mean, come on. Let's also consider Brechtel, which is the only public park in

the entire city you've got to pay to get into. Last year,

that fee rang up less than $5,000 for public coffers.

What's the value in even paying someone to collect it? Parks on the West Bank are

a big thing for Councilwoman Palmer. She founded Confetti Kids, a grassroots

organization that has taken on two neighborhood playgrounds in Algiers

Point and these days she's hoping to get some traction on long delayed

improvements. One of those projects is the development of a public-private

partnership to take over the shuttered Brechtel Memorial Golf Course,

which has been dormant since 2011. Now, it's just a big over-gown lot strewn with

trash at its entrance. The city's hope is to to turn it into an elite soccer facility,

which could attract league play from around the Southeast. That goal might

seem somewhere far in the distance, but there's at least one attainable goal for

now. Confetti Kids has taken over a new lot in Old Algiers at the site of a once

makeshift park that got taken apart in the months after Katrina.

A representative for Confetti said the group needs money to level out the lot before

they can really get started. A local activist, Loyd Dennis, who actually lives

across from another Algiers Park summed it up for me.

'All it takes,' he said, is 'somebody to not see kids as a problem.'

Money Is Imaginary. Should You Trust It? - Duration: 7:15.

Thank you to Curiosity Stream for supporting PBS Digital Studios!

1,2,3, go!

Don't rush me!

Philip, I promise I'll catch you.

I know, but how do I know?

I'm your wife.

Don't you trust me?

Of course!

Then go for it!

Okay, okay!

Here we go…

Ah, I can't!

Oh, forget it.

No, no. I can do this.

1...2...3…

Aaaah!

Trust is hard.

Counting on something you can't see or touch to be there for you when you need it can be

scary.

But whether we like it or not, you and everyone you know plays a global game of trust every

day.

It's called MONEY.

Money is imaginary.

This bill can't be used as food or clothing or shelter.

And yet it has value because we've all agreed to pretend that it does.

The employee who accepts a paycheck for their hours of work, the shopper who puts a new

pair of shoes on their credit card--even the bankrobber risking his life for a bagful of

benjamins--they're all putting their faith in a collective fantasy that only works because

everyone else believes in it too.

The earliest types of currency were things that had practical value, like food or livestock

or furs.

These commodity monies didn't require much trust.

A toolmaker is willing to accept a bag of barley as payment, because even if he has

more than he needs, he can be pretty sure that someone else will want it.

Because, you know, you can eat it!

But commodity money isn't very convenient.

Try schlepping forty bags of barley across town just to pay your rent.

And if your landlord doesn't spend it right away, it could mold or get eaten by rats.

And if he wants to buy a tool from you, he has to carry the sacks all the way back to

your house.

At some point, someone realized that life would be so much easier if instead of actually

carrying sacks of barley back and forth, we could just agree to pretend to carry sacks

of barley back and forth.

We'd just need some way to keep track of it all.

This 5,000 year old Sumerian clay tablet is one of the oldest examples of writing ever

found.

It says: "29,086 measures of barley, 37 months."

Writing wasn't invented for royal decrees or epic poems... it was invented to keep track

of imaginary sacks of barley--in other words, credits and debits.

So when St. Paul wrote that "love of money is the root of all evil," he may have had

a point, but he couldn't have written it down it if it weren't for money.

Once humans were willing to think about value symbolically, it wasn't long before we started

using other materials as currency.

But of all the elements on the periodic scale, which one should we use?

Well, first, it should be a solid.

And it can't be toxic, obviously.

It can't be reactive.

Or radioactive.

It should be easy to extract and smelt.

Rare enough to be valuable, but common enough to be practical.

It shouldn't corrode, rust or degrade.

But it should be soft enough to cut and shape.

And… it should be pretty.

That really only leaves a few good options, and the best fit is GOLD.

We're used to thinking of gold as inherently precious, but the main reason we use it as

a currency is… because it's great at being a currency.

Physically, it's not much more useful than a paper bill.

Maybe less.

At least you can burn paper for warmth.

So that paranoid survivalist burying bullion in his backyard is still playing the trust

game.

He's trusting that even after the apocalypse, everyone will agree to pretend that his gold

is valuable.

The next big financial innovation came around 640 BCE in what is now Turkey, when someone

had the bright idea to pre-weigh lumps of gold and stamp them with the royal seal, and

KA-CHING! the first coins were born.

That stamp is the king's personal guarantee of the coin's worth.

No need to weigh it or test its purity--if you trust the king, you can trust this coin.

Counterfeiting is essentially royal impersonation--a serious offense--and still known today as

a lese-majeste crime.

Hm.

Maybe that's why the organization that investigates counterfeiting in America is the same one

that protects the president from attacks: the Secret Service.

Coins were so convenient that they quickly spread all over the world, and almost every

incarnation had some sort of symbol of trusted authority on it.

If you were lucky enough to have a lot of these coins, you'd

need somewhere safe to store them, so BANKS were founded where you could exchange your

gold coins for a slip of paper called a "promissory note": a "promise" that the bearer could

come back for their coins whenever they wanted.

But a funny thing happened: these notes were so light and convenient that people actually

preferred them as currency, and VOILA: Paper money.

Governments eventually took over the role of printing banknotes, and covered them with

all types of assurances that this is more than just a flat rectangle of cotton and linen.

We especially love to put images of famous people on our bills--not just to honor the

people, but to use their stature and respect to reinforce trust in the currency.

I mean, look at ol' George there.

Doesn't he seem so TRUSTWORTHY?

"This money is REAL.

I cannot tell a lie."

So when you deposit your paycheck in the bank, you're taking it on faith that you'll

be able to withdraw it later as cash, which is a promise that can be redeemed for gold,

which you're hoping other people will exchange for food and shelter and all the other stuff

we need to live.

Wow, that's some Inception levels of trust going on there.

Kinda scary when you think about it.

Sure, but the fact that money is imaginary does give you a lot more power in your relationship

with it.

How you think about money affects its very nature.

In a future episode, we'll look at how this global trust experiment has moved beyond the

physical realm into the invisible world of cyberspace.

How can trust possibly survive when the majority of the world's wealth exists only in the

minds of computers?

We trust you'll keep watching.

Why Do People Make Fun Of Mormons? - Duration: 8:58.

Ooh, this is a good one. We are members of the "Mormon faith." The Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And the question is "Why do people make fun of

Mormons?" Stay with us. We've got some theories. If you know nothing at all

about Mormons then you probably have only heard that we're just weird people

and possibly the target of making being made fun of. -Have you heard that we horns? Like some

people say. -Oh, I thought that was more in the in the past. But do you think people

still today think that we have? I bet that's a question. Do Mormons have horns?

In fact, I think I have seen that one. -Yeah, we don't. -Obviously. I mean... You'd

have to be... -I mean, I think we're different so... Just like the Amish are

different but I don't think we're as extreme. You know, but we do different

things. The word of wisdom separates us. -Okay, first off. -Which says we can't drink no alcohol, no

smoking, no coffee, no tea, no drugs. -Illegal drugs. Abuse of drugs. Things like that, right? -So,

that's going to separate us. Absolutely no alcohol. -So, let's let's start there

because I think the one that we want to start with that is for me the one that

screams mockery and ridicule is the no coffee. Now, why? Because coffee... And I've

talked to people who aren't members of my faith who agree with me on this one.

Who said, "I don't drink coffee (A) because I don't want to become dependent on

anything. But (B) and this one again, it's it's out there. It's... Maybe not as common

but the other reason that I've heard. And I agree with both of these. Is I don't

like doing anything there I feel like a lemming or like I'm just it's just sheep.

We all do the same thing. And the fact is is that coffee consumption has become

worldwide. Just such an outrageous... It's gone beyond kind of a dependency or need

and to just like a full-on obsessive fad or passion.

Like... I cannot begin the day without my Mochaccino fat tip [Unaubible]

blinging bag of that. And I... You know,

again. And this is me. I know I get passionate about this stuff. But I can

see... Well, no. But well you don't start the day with any. -I know. But if... -I mean the

way that I'm saying this? -Right if I wasn't an LDS, if I hadn't made those agreements, I would

totally be a coffee drinker. I love the smell. -Yeah. See, I hate the smell and I

hate the taste. I think it's disgusting. -I love the smell of coffee. I would start

each day with a cup of coffee. I would be one of those Coffee mochachina. -Okay,

so why don't you drink it? -Because I've made covenants. -That's the only reason?

-Yeah. -Okay. So my point is, is that... You're making my point perfectly. That is why it

could be, could be one of the reasons why Mormons are made fun of. Because you have

someone who says, the only reason that I don't pleased myself with... Because

they're what they're going to say is, "Well, why don't you?"

You oppressed old hag and then I can say that about you. You oppressed poor

beautiful wonderful hot-looking mama, how that church is oppressive to you.

You just said I love the smell of coffee, I love the taste of coffee. -I

don't know. -If I weren't a Mormon, I would absolutely be drinking it every day. And

there are those that are going to say and this is what this... This is the spirit of

the mockery is, "Well, what kind of church would keep you from... Your life is short,

why would you not...." -Now, I can totally choose to drink coffee. That's what I'm saying. She can

if she wants. -Right. But I'm choosing to obey the word of wisdom. -And that's

mockable. The question is why are Mormons being made fun of or why are they so

commonly picked on and targets of mockery. -But see,

I also... -That's one. And that's fine. -Like, my father was an alcoholic. He died from

alcoholism. Not a member of the church, whatever. He could have been, but he wasn't.

But I'm glad, you know, because there is a disposition to be an addictive. What if...

-Genetically. -Right. -Yes. -So, I'm grateful that I have the word of wisdom. I've

never had a problem with alcohol because I haven't tried alcohol.

-Yes. -And I could see from my own family experience that's not something I want.

-Yeah. So, along those lines. Same kind of a thing we've mentioned it in another

video. Mormons don't drink alcohol and so in this day and age, again, it's almost a

social... There are so many official events. What was I just watching the other day

on television where it was part of the thing to have everyone has a drink and a

sip and you're part of this deal. It was either that or it was maybe just in the

Chicago Cubs clubhouse where they'd won the wild card game or whatever and

everyone's shooting champagne and everyone's taking a drink. It's

everywhere. "It's a small little sip. don't be such a prude." You know there's that

level of that's why we're made fun of because we are in a world where alcohol

is not only acceptable but it's almost required in some social settings. That we

take a firm stance. -Well and if you look at like the play, the Mormons... "The Book

of Mormon." I mean, the whole theme was about mocking LDS people. -Well it was

written by a couple of disenfranchised former... Or at least one of them I think

was even a missionary or something. So it's all about missions. I haven't seen

it. I don't want to see it. I'm not putting money into... -But making fun of the Book of Mormon, the actual

book that we Revere as scriptures. So, I think anything that's different about

you, people can make fun of. But it's interesting how you can't make fun of

Muslims. You can't say anything about the... -Oh good heavens. -Oh you'd be drawn

into court of the constitutional fighting. There'd be battle lines drawn.

-It doesn't seem to matter when it comes to... -Mormons or open game. Mormons are open game.

-Like who... What other religion could have a play on Broadway that's revered and

looked up. -That sacrilegious and rude and mean. You're right. There is no say, "Hey,

Fiddler on the Roof." You know it's all about the Jewish faith and their

♫♪traditions♫♪ And it's revered and loved and glorified and it's a fantastic

musical. There's nothing in there that's purely anti-semitic. And obviously,

anti-semitic. Get out of here in this day and age. My gosh, who are you, Hitler? It

could be anything. But for some reason, Mormons are fair game. Nobody fights back.

-Right. -Nobody says anything. It's just... Well, we made our own bed,

sleep in it? -LDS Church responded to the Book of Mormon question and then for

questions that had go to lds.org. We'll take the publicity. Out there

spouting the name of one of the highest selling books in the history of

publications. You know, it's not that we're making money off of their sales.

But still. Now, what else would people make fun of Mormons for? Would it be that we

don't believe in premarital sex or extramarital sex? Yes. I believe that's a

huge one. -Yeah. -Because why? Well, everybody lives together? Why get married? Why...? -How

would you know if you're compatible? -How do you know you're going to be... This

marriage is going to work. Or you guys are virgins till you get married? Come on.

Yeah, again the compatibility issue or why wouldn't you allow yourself to have

a little fun or to get practice. You know... And we could go on and on. We will... I'm

sure you can leave in the comment section below your own issues of why you

think that Mormons are made fun of a lot. The fact of the matter is, is most of the

things that people point out are fairly relevant to our fundamental happiness.

We're happy living the way we live. We would try to live in the world but not

be of the world if we can it all helped it. But you know we watch TV, we use cell

phones, we drive cars, we wear clothes. We have one spouse. You know, we're fairly

normal people who... I don't even think our standards are that much above the world.

It's not like we see ourselves as snooty and a holier-than-thou. We just do our

best to actually adhere to those standards. And by doing so, occasionally,

we are... We get you know, what's the word? Criticized, mocked, ridiculed. Hey, we're in

good company. JC himself was ridiculed, mock, spit upon

even crucified. So when we believe in him with all of our heart, mind and soul. And

he asked us to follow him. So, we're going to follow him the best we can. And if it

means that we get buffeted by the world, we'll take it. Because like I say, we're

in good company. Well as mentioned, you probably have your own comments on

either why you think Mormons are mockable. Either from your own history

of mocking us. Because I know there are some of you out there or those of you

who have been mocked. We'd like to just hear your comments. We'll take any kind

that's fine. Leave a comment in the space below but

we require you to subscribe if you're going to do that. We'll see you next time.

Why do you go to ReasearchILD's Learning Differences Conference [CC] - Duration: 1:27.

Actually for me I wanted to acquire new skills and knowledge.

Strategies that would enhance teaching and learning in my school and

especially the strategies that have been used in other countries of the world and they are not in our country.

No conference comes closer to this one.

Like I said, it's practical, its pragmatic, it's one of its kind.

One thing I've liked about

the sessions is

focusing more on the strengths that

children with learning difficulties have other than

basically looking at what they can not do. So for me, that was the killer.

I liked it because it is pragmatic, it is new, it is stimulating and it's taking into

cognition the fact that all learners can not learn the same.

It is actually a life-changing conference in terms of skills

and knowledge you acquire.

So I would actually encourage people to come so that they can be revived.

That they can catch the gospel

for themselves.

Why do whales keep on dying on the Australian & NZ coastlines? - Daily News - Duration: 5:42.

A large number of whales have beached themselves on the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand in the past week

On Sunday afternoon a passer-by discovered 28 beached whales at Croajingolong National Park in Victoria's far east, following two further beachings in New Zealand

The discoveries again raised the question of what causes such mass beachings and whether the incidences could be linked

Scroll down for video  A passer-by first spotted the beached whales at the Victorian national park around 4pm on Sunday afternoon and alerted authorities

A wildlife expert was flown into the area and pronounced most of the 28 stranded whales dead

 The expert deemed it unlikely that any of the animals would survive. The Department of Environment Land Water and Planning and Parks Victoria attended to the stranded whales

Incident controller Michael Turner said 27 pilot whales and one humpback whale were found

Mr Turner said they had flown in experienced staff including a wildlife expert by helicopter to conduct an initial assessment late on Sunday afternoon

 'They have found that unfortunately most of the whales have died, with the few remaining not expected to survive,' Mr Turner said

'The whales are in a very remote part of the Croajingolong National Park that is only accessible on foot

'Also on Sunday, ten Pygmy killer whales were found stranded at New Zealand's 90 Mile Beach in Northland

Two of the whales had since died. New Zealand's Department of Conservation (DOC) confirmed to Daily Mail Australia they attempted to refloat six of the whales and their progress was being monitored

WHY DO WHALES BEACH THEMSELVES?  In short noone knows but theories include: Navigational errors: Gently sloping coastlines and food rich ocean currents close to shore can lead to confusion

 Toxic algae blooms:  Along with viruses can cause mass sickness in pods and the animals may be too sick to swim

 Shipping and military sonar interference: This can scare the animals and cause distress and even decompression sickness as they swim to the surface

 Mass suicides: There is little evidence to support this theory. A spokeswoman from New Zealand's DOC said they were in the process of collecting DNA from the beached whales, in an attempt to determine the reason behind their behaviour

On Saturday, an alarming huge mass beaching of up to 145 pilot whales occurred off New Zealand's South Island

   Half of the whales had already died by the time they were found and the decision was made to euthanise the remainder due to the remote location

'The likelihood of being able to successfully re-float the remaining whales was extremely low

The remote location, lack of nearby personnel and the whales' deteriorating condition meant the most humane thing to do was to euthanise,' Department of Conservation Rakiura operations manager Ren Leppens said

'However, it's always a heart-breaking decision to make.' In a separate incident, a 15 metre sperm whale became stranded at New Zealand's Tokerau Beach in Doubtful Bay on Friday afternoon

The whale died in the early hours of Saturday morning.  The three recent beached whale occurrences in New Zealand were being treated as nothing more than 'coincidental', the DOC spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia

'There are a number of different factors that could have caused the whale strandings,' she said

 One reason why whales become beached on land was navigational errors, particularly around gently sloping seabeds that meet land

Another explanation was that the animals become too sick to swim. Viruses and toxic algae blooms can cause mass sickness within a pod

 A spokesperson from the Government Department of Environment and Energy told Daily Mail Australia: 'We have a limited understanding of why whales strand

 'Pilot whales are a species that is more commonly involved in mass strandings. 'This may be due their behaviour being adapted to living in deep water, which increases their risk of stranding when they find themselves in shallow coastal waters

 'It has been suggested that weather conditions immediately prior to strandings may be a contributing factor

Why You Should Eat Bugs || Foodcasting - Duration: 3:22.

- We've been bugging ya and bugging ya

to expand your palate

and today is the day.

(bubbly keyboard tune)

Look, maybe you're not gonna like this,

but you're gonna have to face it sooner or later.

Bugs taste really good and you should try them.

Deal with it.

I wouldn't really call this a trend

because bugs have been a popular snack

all over the world for centuries,

but they're making their way

into more and more American restaurants and grocery stores,

so today, we're gonna talk about it.

Kinda like a little pep talk so you can prepare yourself

to get out there, step outside your comfort zone,

and start eating some bugs.

You see, crickets, grasshoppers, ants,

and even worms, when roasted and heavily salted,

take on an uber-crispy, crunchy texture

and zippy flavor that's quite addictive.

They're actually perfect as a savory topping,

and they're great on their own.

- I know that 10 years from now,

you'll see insects inside dishes and in salads

and probably baked into a everything bagel.

- If you're just looking for a snack,

swap out your bag of chips

for a bag of chirps,

a tortilla-style chip that's made of ground crickets.

Or if you wanna look the little guys in the face,

the snack company Exo makes full, roasted

crickets with flavors like

Sriracha, sea salt and vinegar,

Texas BBQ, crispy taco, and sour cream and onion.

Not only are crickets tasty,

but apparently they're super nutrient-dense

and they're rich in protein,

so if you're looking for a protein-packed sweet treat,

Exo also makes cricket bars that come

in flavors like chocolate fudge brownie

and peanut butter and jelly.

Wow.

How about an insect-filled dining experience?

Look no further than New York City's The Black Ant.

Located in the East Village,

chef Mario Hernandez is famous for integrating

insects into his dishes.

- [Mario] Insects are a little like caviar.

It's not something that you have to be afraid of.

Actually, it's a delicacy.

It's something that you have to try

and be open to try new things,

educate your palate from different cuisines.

If you treat it well,

it's going to be something beautiful.

The first time I saw the grasshoppers,

my grandma bring some, like a kilo,

something like that from the market.

And she say that day that we're gonna have tacos.

My brothers, they start crying because

they don't wanna eat, and my grandma tell us,

"You have to try.

You have to be open and try new things."

And when I tried that taco,

I start to love the flavor of them.

- [Host] Whether it's black ants

sprinkled on guacamole,

crispy tequila worms with bone marrow,

or Oaxacan grasshopper croquettes and tacos,

there is something for everyone

no matter how brave you're feeling.

Perhaps snacking on bugs while watching the big game

is more you're speed.

Safeco Stadium in Seattle serves chapulines,

or grasshoppers, to Mariners fans

looking for a salty snack to accompany

their overpriced stadium beer.

Look, people have been snacking on bugs for forever.

They're delicious, they're healthy, they're sustainable,

so it's about time we start doing it, too.

Feel like cooking bugs at home?

Check out the link below

for eight edible insect recipes.

However, we urge you not to harvest any bugs

you might find in your apartment,

but rather, go out and buy them,

or leave the cooking up to the professionals.

(scratchy synth notes and smooth saxophone)

Thanks so much for watching.

Why Newcastle fans are moaning as they prepare to step up Ashley protests - Breaking News 247 - Duration: 4:20.

  Why are Newcastle United fans always moaning about Mike Ashley ?  That's a common question from folk outside the Tyneside football bubble

 Bloody whinging Geordies. They just want Keegan and the Entertainers back. Living in the past, the lot of them

 Ashley has spend £244m on Newcastle, so he can do what he wants. It's his money

 Why would he want to spend £100m on new players like West Ham and Fulham just to progress the team from 10th last season to, (only possibly) 7th or 8th this campaign?  If you don't like it, Geordie boys and girls, stop buying you're season tickets

all 50,000 of you!  This weekend a section of Newcastle fans will step up their protests against Sports Direct tycoon Ashley

 The Magpie Group and fanzines are asking supporters to take part in an 11th minute walk in

 Stay in the pub, have an extra pint, leave (they hope) big gaps in the crowd at kick off to be captured by TV cameras and photographers, and a point is made

 This is a difficult sell, as is the whole match boycott, organised for December 9 and the game against Wolves

  Three wins in a row, up to 13th place and the season looks to be turning around nicely for Rafa Benitez

 And Benitez himself knows that a rocking atmosphere is vital in inspiring his players and intimidating the opposition

 There are fanatics who want Ashley out asap, take to social media to vent their frustration, and believe direct action will work

 There are also thousands who turn up at St James' Park for a Saturday escape, and just want to see a match

Protest isn't for them.  My own view is that the current protest movement is working - but won't achieve their ultimate goal of forcing him out

Only a credible buyer with £300m+ can speed that process.  However the rumbling protests that come to a head in the next ten days are working in that Ashley has re-engaged with the club

 He's watched eight games after a 16 month stay-away. He's hosted a squad meal and visited the dressing room after wins

 There have been short meetings with Benitez, although admittedly nothing substantial discussed

 Fans' protests have hammered home the support Benitez has on Tyneside. He is trusted, loved, and pretty much everyone wants him to stay beyond his current deal which ends in June

 #IfRafaGoesWeGo is the hashtag for the disgruntled. If he does, and they do, refusing to renew season tickets next season by the tens of thousand, then Ashley loses

 Newcastle fans just want Benitez to be backed. Allowed to build. Given decent sums in the transfer market to go beyond the bargain basement and find two of three gems that can immediately elevate United consistent top half challengers

 It defies belief that this didn't happen last summer. That's why the Geordies are revolting

 So even if the late walk-in, or the boycott, don't immediately catch the eye because it is only hard core of loyalists, don't sneer

 In Ashley's thought processes - his next move with Rafa's contract, or spending in January - it must be having an impact

 It is time the potential in Newcastle United was unleashed.  Look at their achievements over the 11 yards of Ashley's ownership

One fifth-place finish aside, there's been two relegations, mediocrity, and total misery in the cups

 Compare that to more than a decade of European qualification and cup thrills. Big spending, ambition and hope

No trophies, though.  That's why the Geordies moan. The past has shown what the club can be

And they want better. Read More Mirror Football's Top Stories

The list of legendary American heavyweights rolls off the tongue. . Joe Frazier. George Foreman

Evander Holyfield. Mike Tyson.Pure box office, A-list megastars whose fights would stop the world in its tracks

versus ? It's just not the same, but that's not to say it won't excite.Make no mistake, US fight-followers love hard-hitting action, and hardcore boxing nuts know all about Wilder

The massive puncher from Alabama has been shouting from the rooftops - and sending opponents crashing to the canvas - for years, albeit in front of mostly small crowds

The standard of American heavyweights has slipped dramatically since those halcyon, unprecedented days of Ali and co

There was, remarkably, an eight-year gap between Shannon Briggs losing his crown in 2007 and Wilder picking up the mantle once again

Nevertheless, in such an over-saturated sporting market, Wilder operates firmly in the shadows and will remain there until something cataclysmic happens

His role as a knock-out artist certainly appeals, but earning universal recognition is challenging

'We'd be fooling ourselves if we said this fight was at the forefront of American sporting consciousness,' said Peter Kahn, a boxing industry veteran of over 30 years who was by Tyson's side during those crazy, 'baddest-man-on-the-planet' days

Walk into most sports bars here, and questions about will earn puzzled looks from casual fans

If, and it's a big if, he comes face-to-face with Anthony Joshua next year, interest would grow

The American would permeate the national sporting conversation, though that's more to do with AJ's irresistible global appeal more than anything else

Yet for someone with 40 bouts under his belt to remain relatively unknown outside of boxing circles is odd

The Staples Center in Los Angeles is struggling to sell out, something which doesn't surprise boxing insiders who have long-questioned the managerial skills of mysterious mogul Al Haymon and his Premier Champions operation which looks after Wilder

'Deontay can walk down any street in the and avoid being mobbed,' said Terry Lane, a popular Nevada promoter whose father is Mills Lane, the legendary boxing referee who officiated when Tyson infamously bit off Holyfield's ear 21 years ago

'There needs to be much more of a marketing effort behind him.'Undoubtedly, this clash with is a tremendous fight

The stakes are monumental for both. It's a huge event. The posh seats at ringside will be peppered with Hollywood stars and A-list royalty yet it will still struggle to make a mark on the sporting radar in the over the weekend

In fact, it will barely touch the sides. On Saturday alone, the calendar is packed

College , which is incredibly popular here despite the concept appearing totally alien to the rest of civilization, is now in the business end of the season and attracts enormous numbers

The NBA and NHL are also in full- swing, while on Sunday, the NFL monster rears back into view

Wilder versus Fury? It doesn't even come close to infiltrating the casual sports fan's psyche, even if this is the biggest heavyweight fight here since 2003 when Lennox Lewis fought Vitali Klitschko, a late replacement for Canadian Kirk Johnson, ironically, also in the City of Angels

Indeed, thanks to the stranglehold of Vladimir, Vitali's brother, on the division and few American suitors, Europe has been the preferred destination for boxing's big men for the last decade or so

The sweet science, however, still sells here. 's rich history is woven into culture

You can thank Ali, Tyson, and other legends for that.Floyd Mayweather's ultimately disappointing tussle with Manny Pacquiao in 2015 stopped the American sports juggernaut in its tracks, as did his embarrassing contretemps with UFC star Conor McGregor in 2017

Canelo Alvarez's two fights with Gennady Golovkin earned notable traction, especially with the fiery rematch which was inflamed following the Mexican's drug-related controversy

Pay-per-view sales hit the one-million mark for Alvarez's brilliant performance in Las Vegas, three months ago

Showtime, who are charging an eye-watering $80 for Wilder's big moment on Saturday night, will be considered successful if it exceeds 300,000

There's no huge buzz here.'Casual fans don't know who Wilder is, nor do they know who Fury is either,' added Kahn

'It's not a big fight in the'Mayweather and Pacquiao have ruled the boxing conversation for years, and then we had Canelo and GGG

But, outside of Wilder, who's the next best American heavyweight? There isn't one

'Wilder just hasn't had proper promotion behind him. With GGG and Canelo, you had someone in Oscar de la Hoya who was really going strong to promote that fight

'When Tyson ruled the world, things were different. 'He was the complete fighter,' recalled Kahn

'But, the buzz around his fights? Oh, my God. I did six shows with him, including both Holyfield fights

Nothing compares to it.'There was no internet. No social media. Everything revolved around the newspaper, magazine and TV reports

Now, I can watch the press conference on my phone with everyone else. It was a different era

'They were, undoubtedly, the greatest days, yet, no matter how many people shell out their hard-earned dollars and tune in on Saturday night, this could be a heavyweight clash for the ages

'In the UK, I imagine people tuning in and really wanting to see Fury win and set up what would be a massive night with Joshua,' concluded Kahn

'Not every era has guys who capture the public's attention. But, with everything said, it's a shame this hasn't gotten much exposure in the States because it's going to be an exciting fight

A great fight.' That much is true. Just don't expect everyone to be talking about it

The Reasons for Neck Pain — Why Your Past Matters - Duration: 1:48.

- Hey, I'm Dr. Gregg Gerstin with Align Wellness Center

and I'm here with one of my favorite people.

This is my daughter, Jordan.

Can you say hi?

- Hello.

- And, what I want to talk with you today about is neck pain.

I just went over a report with a patient

yesterday and she was asking me, where did this come from?

And, for many patients, they really have this question

of wanting to know how did they get their neck pain.

And, what I found over the last 15 years in practice

is that many neck problems aren't from something

that you did recently.

There's something that you did when you were Jordan's age.

Whether it was a fall,

or hitting the corner of a coffee table,

or when you came off the slide and you bumped your chin,

you may have cut it.

Rough housing with your siblings, playing sports,

an injury that can end up changing

how your neck winds up working,

doesn't have to cause you to have a concussion.

It just needs to change how your spine works,

and usually we take care of the outside,

we'll get rid of a cut, we'll get rid of the bruise

but we never look on the in.

So for many people, that pain that shows up

in their middle age or later years,

could have gotten started when they were in their youth

as young as Jordan.

So I want to thank you for being here with me,

if you know someone who may have had,

may be having neck pain,

and is unsure of where it came from,

can you share this video with them?

Also, if you like it, give it a thumbs up,

let us know what you think, share with us in the comments

some of your thoughts.

Lastly, I'm Dr Gregg Gerstin, a chiropractor in Northbrook

with Align Wellness Center,

and I want to thank you

for letting me be a part of your health.

Can you say bye bye Jordan?

- Bye bye.

(upbeat music)

Potato & why too much is never good - Duration: 8:26.

Hello and welcome!

Here in Holland we live on it: potatoes

Many people in Holland eat potatoes 5 or even 7 times a week

It has become a tradition to eat potatoes, some vegetables and a piece of meat for dinner

In this video I want to explain how eating potatoes affects your health

and why in some cases it's not such a good idea to eat potatoes.

I'd like to start with the origin of the potato:

although it seems to almost have become the national food in the Netherlands,

potatoes are originally from South America

In the 16th century the Spaniards probably introduced it in Europe

And you can say that it became a staple food in the Netherlands

Nowadays it's still eaten in large quantities, probably because:

it's easy to grow on Dutch soils and it's pretty cheap

and that's what appears of great importance to the Dutch

The potato as a plant is a member of the nightshades family

The nightshades are a family of plants that actually exist of toxic plants

This also applies to the potato

The plant itself is poisonous, we can only eat the tubers

and then preferably cooked, because when raw it is also not well digested

The nightshade family contains more edible plants:

tomato, eggplant, paprika, pepper...

Those are all plants from which we can eat the fruits, but not the plant itself because of it's toxins

But still there is some kind of toxic component in the fruits

and there are many people who respond sensitively to plants from the nightshade family

and who do not digest the fruits or tubers very well

This severity of this sensitivity is very personal

It has to do with how the digestive system works

because that defines how well a product can be dissolved

And of course it also matters how much you eat of something

People with an excellent digestion can easily eat some potato without getting any complaints

People with poor digestion can more easily suffer from eating potatoes

or chili peppers, or paprika, tomato or eggplant

People who eat a lot of foods from the nightshade family on a daily base

have a great chance of suffering from that

because what happens is this:

The food is not digested well, so in this case the potato is not dissolved properly

The remains of this, the parts the body can't process, will be parked at different spots in the body

Until there is more energy available, or more enzymes available to remove these remains

The places in the body where the potato remains are parked

suffer from reduced blood flow

So these are actually toxins that get stuck at a particular place

the blood flow at that place is reduced, the draining of toxins will fade

So at this place the tissue gets more stiff

and dependent on which place this is, complaints arise

When the remains are parked in skin tissue, skin problems can arise

when it's taking place in the liver, liver problems can arise

in the kidneys, kidney problems can begin

This is very different per person and those weak spots are often hereditary

So what we can do...

We cannot decide what weak spots we will have

But we can make sure as little rubbish as possible is entering our bodies

to keep our weak spots as strong as possible

And this is what we want because it keeps us healthy

So those remains can accumulate...

The more you take of a certain product, the bigger the chance that it will start accumulating

That's why it is important to vary a lot in your choice of food.

Eating potatoes 7 days a week is not a good idea for anyone

even if your digestive system is working fine

The same applies for eating bread all day long for 7 days a week

because the less varied you choose your food, the more you burden your digestive system in a monotous way

because of which health problems can arise

Another point regarding to potatoes is that it has a high glycemic index (GI)

This means that it affects the blood sugar level quickly

So when you eat a potato, the sugars in the blood rise

and the blood sugar level is rising quickly

With baked potato, this increase is even faster than with cooked potatoes

What's happening next is that the pancreas needs to work hard

to stabilise the blood sugar level

When you often eat products with a high Glycemic Index, like potato or sugar

then the pancreas is put to work very hard every time

to properly correct the blood sugar level again

This takes energy

and at a certain point, if you keep doing this for years, the pancreas can become exhausted

although it also depend on whether it's a weak spot in your body

and what happens then is that diabetes develops

So regarding the glycemic index, the scale on which the effect on the blood sugar level is measured by food

it is important to keep variety into your diet

So don't take too many products with a high glycemic index

but rather choose for products with a low GI such as vegetables

So, variation is always important

There is yet another sidenote to potato:

a lot of pesticides are used, at least in Holland, to let potatoes grow well

If I remember it correctly, potatoes are sprayed at least 5 times in 2 or 3 months

against plagues

And of course those pesticides also end up in the soil, in the plant itself

So when you do eat potatoes it's best to choose for organically grown ones

To make sure you're not burdening your liver more than necessary

with trying to get rid of all the toxins that are, for example, in your fries

In case you have the idea that you're eating too much potato

and you don't know what you should replace it with

I can tell you there are many other options, even for Dutch eaters

split peas are a nice one

also for making mashed 'potatoes' or stews it's a good choice to take split peas

Also other peas and sweet potato are a good alternative

Somewhat more exotic is tapioca, also called cassava

of which you can make delicious fries

and of course there are also more common options like rice or pasta

these are also increasingly being used as a variation on potato

But still, with everything you eat it's important to keep varying

So please don't substitute your 7-days-a-week potato by 7-days-a-week-pasta

Because this will bring you other negative effects

So take pasta one day, eat rice another day

millet is also a really nice one. Beans are really tasty, lentils too. I already mention split peas

And so much more variation is possible

Please make sure that your body will get something different to process every time

Because, in my opinion, this is one of the most important things to keep your body healthy

Don't you know what to do? Or do you have questions? Ask ahead

I hope you've learned something from this video

Have a good day!

How do air ducts work? And why is proper duct sealing so important for AC efficiency? - Duration: 1:31.

how do air ducts work?

your heating and air conditioning system is pretty amazing

you turn on your thermostat to heat or cool and voila you get warm or cold air

throughout your house but have you ever stopped to think about how air is

delivered to each room it's pretty cool actually inside the walls of a forced

air heating and cooling system is a maze of air ducts all designed to deliver

conditioned air throughout the home one part of the system delivers heated or

cooled air to the home the other part pulls air back into the system where

it's reconditioned and recirculated when ductwork is installed there are often

leaks where one length of duct is connected to another this means heating

and air equipment has to work harder to move air to all rooms which results in

higher utility bills and because air is lost before it gets to rooms

it creates uneven room temperatures unless duct work has been sealed the

typical home could lose twenty to thirty percent of the air moving through the

system there's great news even though air ducts are hidden leaks can be fixed

without cutting into your ceilings or walls when the leaks are sealed you'll

know air is getting to all rooms as intended and you'll notice savings on

your utility bills if you would like more information about air duct repair

Why Do You Think I Should? Bolton Defends Not Listening to Khashoggi Tape - Duration: 3:47.

Why Do You Think I Should? Bolton Defends Not Listening to Khashoggi Tape

WASHINGTON — John R. Bolton, President Trump's national security adviser, defended on Tuesday the fact that neither Mr. Trump nor top national security officials had listened to audio of the killing of the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, saying that they did not speak Arabic and would not be able to understand what was on the tape.

During a nearly hourlong briefing focused on foreign policy, Mr. Bolton took the lectern at the White House and declined to answer repeated questions about why he had not listened to the recording provided by Turkish officials of the killing inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul.

"Why do you think I should?" Mr. Bolton asked reporters, suggesting he could read a transcript instead. "People who speak Arabic have listened to the tape, and they've given us the substance of what's in it."

Mr. Bolton's comments came as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis were preparing to brief the Senate on Wednesday about the circumstances surrounding Mr. Khashoggi's death, which has prompted outrage among members of Congress.

Mr. Trump has absolved the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, in the killing, putting the president at odds with those lawmakers and the C.I.A., which concluded that Prince Mohammed had ordered the killing.

"It could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic event," Mr. Trump said last week in an extraordinary statement in defense of the Saudis. "Maybe he did and maybe he didn't!"

Mr. Bolton indicated that the president's views have remained unchanged since then. "The president has spoken to our position on this issue," Mr. Bolton said. "That is our position."

The recording is seen by intelligence officials as some of the strongest evidence linking Prince Mohammed to the killing. Turkish intelligence officers have told American officials they believe that Maher Abdulaziz Mutreb, a security officer who frequently traveled with the prince, can be heard on the tape making a phone call to one of the prince's aides.

While translations of the Arabic may differ, the people briefed on the call said Mr. Mutreb said to the aide words to the effect of "the deed was done."

Gina Haspel, the C.I.A. director, took two experts in Arabic with her to Turkey when she listened to the audio, according to American officials. Neither Ms. Haspel nor other intelligence officials will join Mr. Pompeo and Mr. Mattis at the briefing Wednesday, according to American officials.

Intelligence briefings to Congress are typically kept separate from policy briefings, and some officials did not think it would be appropriate to have a senior intelligence leader join the two cabinet secretaries.

Congressional officials said Ms. Haspel would have also faced questions about her visit to Turkey that she would have been barred from sharing with a large group of lawmakers.

"I'm glad that Pompeo and Mattis are coming, that's going to be helpful," said Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee and the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "But I just think it'd be better if the C.I.A. director was here, who basically did the assessment."

The White House briefing — one of only a few held this fall as the president's aides have traded briefings for more presidential interviews and news conferences — came in advance of Mr. Trump's trip this week to the Group of 20 summit meeting of the world's largest economies in Argentina.

The president's aggressive stance on trade, his reluctance to acknowledge climate change and rising tensions between the United States and China, a crucial trading partner, are likely to be key focuses among Group of 20 leaders.

While in Argentina, Mr. Trump is also expected to meet for the second time this year with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia. Mr. Bolton said that the two leaders would discuss "security issues" and "arms control issues," but declined to say whether Mr. Trump would press Mr. Putin on Russia's growing aggression in Ukraine, including the seizure of three Ukrainian naval vessels and more than 20 sailors.

On Ukraine, Mr. Bolton deferred to the departing United Nations ambassador, Nikki R. Haley, who on Monday called Russia's actions a move of an "outlaw" country.
