This goes out...
to those who couldn't make it
to listen to this song.
Silence please... cameras, action!
Spotlights breaking the twilight in my room.
Still walking straight still a perfect diction
still connecting syllables with an architect's stroke.
This bitch ass life hits deep harder than a bullet,
I'm fighting to the verge but I get cornered against it.
With a strength you can't beat trying to give you wings
Creating lenghty lyrics, smart like Impala cars.
Speaking out my feelings, drawing a broader map,
I'm picturing scenes of pain in a vivid colour,
on how I see this world; in fractions of a second
describing my suffering and how it feels when I fall down.
And how I rise later, riding atop of my songs,
with my magic wand making hearts run high.
Posing proud because I am the originator,
in my ceremonial gear like a Holy Father.
I'm melting rumours away with my homies all day
music and my baby are my most beautiful loves.
I was certain that I'd be back to my land some day.
But wishing is not enough if you don't fight even for a day.
Since nothing is for granted, and if it ever is, it comes too late
words in frequencies through satellite and cable
so full of lies for all ages,
My lyrics were censored even on local TV stations.
Guided by rage creating these melodies,
It's so hard to find a tad of honesty these days.
Nothing consistent, nothing physical nor critical,
filling up your silences with my voice, that's my mission.
Life's a bitch, always stress and pressure,
A seed amid concrete turning tunes into anthems.
Life's a bitch, when your ambitions are gone,
all of your passions vanish into illusions.
Cameras, action... straight out of I-S-L,
the local crimes here are the kind you watch on TV,
Awake by day and night, I'll just sleep tomorrow,
I get noticed in these streets, a white dude in a bandana.
A hand in my pocket, the other one on my wallet,
my mind on my future, to shape it up my way.
Eyes to the front walking forward
the steps I took feel like a giant's.
Fighting as hard as I can for those things I love the most
blood, tears and money left along the way
Sustaining hard knocks, betting my life on it
losing hope, regaining it again.
Living every day to the limit, I'm day-dreaming,
as if it was the last one and then I'd drop dead.
Asking about my fame, but they're just looking for my dough,
Remember those years...? You used to listen to my tapes.
Spitting out my lyrics, so much passion, I'm burning
an instant feels like thorns, and a minute is hell.
A hard instrumental, words from my lips,
I was looking for friends but I kept finding foes.
Selling me out, always dodging temptation
Life is a bitch and each hard knock is a lesson
Living for a cause, dying for passions,
Keeping my head up fulfilling my missions
Nothing to lose, I'm hurt, no one's gonna help me
Fighting until I drop exhausted, trying to hold onto something
It's a hell of a life on Earth, I'm trying to escape
I realise there's no God in heaven to judge me.
Life's a bitch, always stress and pressure,
A seed amid concrete turning tunes into anthems.
Life's a bitch, when your ambitions are gone,
all of your passions vanish into illusions.
Life's a bitch, always stress and pressure,
A seed amid concrete turning tunes into anthems.
Life's a bitch, when your dreams are gone,
Any mansion becomes a prison.
Life's a bitch
This life's a bitch
Life's a bitch
This life's a bitch
Life's a bitch
This life's a bitch
Life's a bitch...

Ford F-150, Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado: Battle for Pickup Truck Supremacy | Edmunds Video - Duration: 18:24.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
NARRATOR: This is Edmunds exclusive three-way comparison
of America's most popular pickups.
We'll drive them on the road, take them to our track,
tow an airstream trailer, and even put a quad in the bed.
After all that, we'll tell you which one is the best.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: This is the all new Ram 1500 pickup.
We've been big fans of the Ram for a long time
because last time around, they added coil spring
rear suspension, which made the ride just so supple,
and it made really good towing stability.
This particular example is a Laramie.
It's a nicely equipped truck, it's not too expensive,
and from here, you can add all sorts of interesting options.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: And this is the all new Chevy Silverado.
It's redesigned from the ground up with different body
and frame materials.
It's longer, taller, and wider than the previous model.
And what we've got here is the LTZ trim level.
Now, this one's got the 5.3 liter V8,
but it's also mated with the new 8-speed automatic.
We picked it because we like it right in the middle of Chevy's
line.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: The Ford F-150 is one of the top selling
vehicles in America.
It's well-known for its lightweight aluminum
construction and a wide variety of trim and engine options.
For our test, we have the mid-level lariat
with a 3.5 liter V6 EcoBoost.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: We're going to put these trucks
through their paces to see which one
is the best one you can buy.
Let's get to it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Getting into the F-150
is more like walking into an apartment
than it is getting into a truck.
For me, the truck is actually almost too big.
I feel like I'm floating around in here,
and I can't reach all of the soft spots.
But I can reach all of the controls
very easily with the exception of the trailer brake
adjustment, which makes Dan really angry.
The interior looks really nice from a distance,
but as you get closer, the materials
aren't as nice as they look.
They're plasticky and hard.
Two things I really like about this truck
that I think are very unique are the way that the doors or cut.
It gives a lot of visibility and it also looks interesting.
I also like where the door handles are placed.
They're tucked away in here, and you hit them from the top
rather than pulling them from the side.
It's pretty cool and they're really easy to use.
Overall, I think that the interior
is nice, but not exceptional.
It's really something that's best viewed from far away.
I bet it looks great in photos.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: So this is the inside
of the all-new Silverado.
There are some small changes, some things that are nicer.
For instance, this touch screen is new.
It's got new graphics that looks pretty good.
And also this giant center console is new.
And one of the things I like about this is it
feels very at home for a truck.
It's simple and everything is at an arm's reach.
One of the things I'm not a huge fan of
is how far out this dash feels like it sticks.
Feels like it intrudes in the cabin a little bit,
and also intrudes on this center console space.
And also this little bin here, there's
not much to organize it.
Your things are just going to slide around.
For instance, if your phone is mounted up here--
you hit a curb, it's just going to fall over.
But basically, this is the Silverado's new interior
and I'm a fan, but it doesn't wow me
as much as some of the other competitors do.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: This new Ram is really impressive,
and you see it the moment you get inside.
One of the things I really like about this,
and I'm surprised to hear myself say it,
is this center console is amazing.
All the actions here--
I mean, this is big.
You could put a couple of purses and a laptop in here
at the same time.
You can put your drinks here.
Look at this, my phone's plugged in,
but it snaps in there with the cord attached.
The other thing I like is the Uconnect system.
Now, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto--
the 8.4 inch Uconnect and this one both have it.
It's all really easy to use.
There's swiping, and pinch zoom, and all of that stuff.
Another unique feature is the sunroof.
I'm not a huge fan though, because it's $1,300.
It's quiet when it's open, but it does let in a lot of heat.
Overall, the Ram 1500's interior is on another level.
The other two trucks feel like they're catering
to their existing buyers.
This one looks like it's trying to win over new converts,
and I think it will.
All of these trucks are crew cabs.
Ram used to be third place out of these three.
But this year they've added four inches
to the wheelbase, four inches to the length of the cabin--
they put all of it back here.
But what's really good about the Ram is the seat back
angle is much more pleasing, and they do this.
Ah-- the others can't match this right now.
But also, if that wasn't enough, we've
got a center console-- a pretty big one.
The whole center of the seat folds down,
and there's a couple of cup holders here.
The back seat area of the Ram has the other ones covered.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
TRAVIS LANGNESS: One of the main reasons people
buy full-sized trucks is so they can carry around their toys.
We've got this 750 pound Honda Rubicon.
I'm going to load it into all three trucks
and see how it goes.
All right, so let's open up the Chevy power up,
power down tailgate.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Woo, fancy.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Well done, Trav.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Thank you.
So are you putting all the ratchets in the front, Dan?
DAN EDMUNDS: I'm going to put one on each side in the front.
And I'm going to go for the lowest hook
down here just because that seems to be
when I get the best angle.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: OK.
A lot of guys, if they get this further forward,
they're going to bend it up halfway and strap it down,
or a lot of people will just roll with it like this.
DAN EDMUNDS: You could buy a longer truck.
[LAUGHING]
This crew cab-- if you get the quad cab,
you're going to get a longer bed.
ELANA SCHERR: I never realized that that
was what quad cab meant.
You can put a quad in it.
DAN EDMUNDS: Well, I guess that's it.
Touche.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: All right.
Well, let's take it out of the bed
here and put it in the other trucks.
DAN EDMUNDS: Going to need this.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Thank you.
Safety first.
DAN EDMUNDS: All right.
ELANA SCHERR: Well done.
All right, Dan, let's get the quad in the back of this one.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yep.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: So it's damped, but it's not a power tail gate.
DAN EDMUNDS: Not power, this is just dampened.
ELANA SCHERR: Also (GRUNTING) no step on this.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: All right, there we go.
All clear.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Woo!
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That was a little fast, man.
ELANA SCHERR: You were right earlier, Dan.
You said this bed was a lot shorter,
and it really is-- like, you have almost the entire tire
out.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: These tires are completely on the tailgate.
Which one has a better system in the back, you think?
DAN EDMUNDS: The Chevy's lower tie downs,
I like that a little better.
But it's also got a slightly longer bed.
Although neither one of them was long enough for this ramp
to fit in with the tailgate closed
without putting it in sideways.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Let's take it out of the Ford
and put it in the Ram.
DAN EDMUNDS: There you go.
ELANA SCHERR: Oh, beautiful.
DAN EDMUNDS: Like butter.
ELANA SCHERR: Show off for me, Dan.
(SURPRISED) What?
Magic.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, right?
If I had my hands full from Home Depot,
I wouldn't have to put anything down.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah, but I still don't have a step.
At least I have a little handhold on this one.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: We're good.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Nice!
DAN EDMUNDS: All right, that was a little better.
You only got a little bit of air.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: The tie downs-- how well would you compare them
to Ford?
DAN EDMUNDS: Well, the thing about the tie downs
is they're nice and low, so I like that.
And they're really big.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Yeah.
Those are much larger than--
DAN EDMUNDS: Even the Chevy's
TRAVIS LANGNESS: --Ford ones, especially in the rear.
And this is sitting almost completely on the tailgate,
right?
ELANA SCHERR: I think it's right in between.
I think the Chevy had the most room,
and the Ford was the shortest.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Well, let's take the quad out of the back
here and move on to the next test.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Expert level unlocked.
[LAUGHING]
So we successfully loaded the quad in all three trucks.
Any of them would work.
Do you guys feel like there was one that was a clear winner?
TRAVIS LANGNESS: Yeah.
I know it's the truck I brought, but I like the Chevy.
The multiple tie downs, and the fact
that you had that side-step on the tailgate to get in and out.
I felt like that made it the easiest.
ELANA SCHERR: I definitely liked the step.
What about you, Dan?
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, I agree.
But I do like the Ram's hooks because they're really low
and they're really big.
I was able to put two straps on them with ease.
So, not bad, but yeah, the Chevy's a little better.
ELANA SCHERR: Sounds like the Chevy wins this one.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
To do a full-on tow test on any one of these trucks
would take the whole episode.
But we wanted to illustrate some of the tow tech
and how easy it is to use.
To do that, we've got this Airstream 25FB--
it's the Flying Cloud.
And it's about 25 feet long, about 6,500 pounds,
and it'll be great to showcase what these trucks can do.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[BEEPING]
DAN EDMUNDS: I wonder where Travis and Elana are?
They're leaving me to do all the hard work.
Want a soda back there?
ELANA SCHERR: (GROGGILY) Wha?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: Good to go.
The Ford works pretty well.
The problem I found there is they've
got this Pro Trailer Backup Assist
system that they talk about, which sounds great,
but it's theoretical because I can't use it on this trailer.
This sticker is supposed to go somewhere in this area.
And you can see the propane tanks are in the way,
so I can't install this on the trailer, which
means I can't use Pro Trailer Backup Assist.
The Silverado, it's got a lot of power,
but the camera wasn't my favorite.
To me, the Ram is golden because it's
got a much better camera that's easier to use.
Time to roll.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
We then hit the highway and headed for the nearest hill.
All three were able to pull it up the grade easily,
but the F-150 felt more willing, while the Ram
was the most stable in corners and cross winds.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Well, the F-150, or the F-series trucks,
are the best selling trucks, right.
We talked about that.
And I can see why people like them.
It's a really predictable truck, it does everything
that you need it to do, it's quite quick.
They have a ton of different options
for engines and interiors, so you can find one that you like.
The engine in this truck it is never working hard,
which is not something I normally say about turbo V6s.
Even if they have a lot of power,
you're way on the throttle to make that happen.
That is not how I feel here.
I feel like you can use just a very small throttle application
and be right up to cruising speed.
There's a little bit of delay-- a little lag, mostly
if you surprise it, and that might be in the transmission.
DAN EDMUNDS: Now, that 10-speed here is really clever.
I mean, you don't know that it has 10 gears to choose from,
because it's really nice at picking the right gear
at the right time.
So you don't feel like it's shifting all over the place.
So this is a really nicely sorted 10-speed.
ELANA SCHERR: This is an extremely comfortable truck.
You get a little bit of road feel, but not a lot.
In fact, I think Chevrolet was a little more road feel,
and definitely more road noise.
One of the things that really stood out to me in this truck
is how quiet it is in the cab.
I think it's a good looking truck,
and they also did a pretty nice redesign on the nose.
And so, it's very striking.
The lights in the grill are integrated really beautifully,
and there's a lot of small details
that you'll appreciate if you spend a lot of time looking
at the truck.
DAN EDMUNDS: They've got these huge mirrors, though.
They're a little too huge.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah, the mirrors are ugly,
and I already hit a bush with them,
and not even on a small street.
If you put this truck against the Silverado
and asked me which one was more recently redesigned,
I would think this was the newer truck
and that was the older one.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah.
ELANA SCHERR: I am a little bit proud
that the truck that I brought has
the best numbers at the track, and it also
has the highest torque.
So it's a 375 horse, but it is-- you ready for this?
470 torque.
That has all the torques, and I win.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: [LAUGHING] It's all the torques.
DAN EDMUNDS: Wow, you do win.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That has a lot to do with the fact
that this one is turbocharged while the other trucks are
naturally aspirated.
And one of the other things that's
interesting about the track performance in these trucks
is all of them stopped from 60 to zero in our panic braking
test within feet of each other.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, that's pretty good.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That's pretty remarkable.
DAN EDMUNDS: Those numbers were about five or six feet better
than they were the last time these trucks were new.
So there's been improvement over time.
And that's good to see because trucks have always had
the longest stopping distances.
And they still do, but now, the gap isn't so big.
ELANA SCHERR: Yeah.
I feel like all the manufacturers are really
recognizing that people use trucks
for a lot of different reasons.
I mean, towing toys, towing horses,
but also just as daily drivers.
And they're really working on making
them safer, and more comfortable, and more
pleasurable to drive.
So that's nice.
It's good to know that the audience is being heard.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I know this sounds weird,
but the Ford is the most fun to drive for me.
The handling and the steering, for me, are the best.
But those may not be things that people that want a track
are concerned with.
DAN EDMUNDS: I like the Ford's powertrain--
it's really powerful.
And the 10-speed automatic is just
so nicely calibrated when you're towing, when you're not towing.
I really like that.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
ELANA SCHERR: Travis, you've spent the most time
of any of us in this truck.
But to me, just getting in it, it doesn't look new.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: That's the impression
I not only got when I first saw the truck, but after 1,400
miles in the truck from Wyoming to Los Angeles.
It doesn't feel completely redesigned.
And also, under the hood it feels the same.
So the 5.3 liter V8 gets a new fuel management system.
And now, it's paired to the 8-speed automatic instead
of the 6-speed, which has a little bit faster shifts
and it's a little quieter on the highway.
I like that it doesn't rev as high.
ELANA SCHERR: Dan is going to hate me for this because there
is no scientific way to measure it,
but Travis how do you feel the truck
jealousy is on this truck?
And you know what I'm talking about.
It's like, who's looking at it?
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I do.
I do.
This one I feel like is particularly
polarizing-- just the new Chevy look in general.
It's got a lot of chrome on the front end.
Some people love it, some people hate it.
From the back on the sides, some people
can't really tell the difference.
And then, of course, the power tailgate in the back.
You load all your stuff and you press the button,
and they've got to push it up.
There's a little bit of truck jealousy
there, just a small amount.
ELANA SCHERR: You nailed it when you said
the front end is polarizing.
I mean, it's got these weird origami folds,
and like slots and tabs, which I guess are for aero,
but they are unusual looking.
DAN EDMUNDS: I mean, I like the new Silverado,
but it doesn't feel like a brand new Silverado.
It feels very evolutionary, not revolutionary.
ELANA SCHERR: I'd be happy to drive it
but I don't want to look at it.
[LAUGHING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
One of the things that I noticed about the Ram when I got in it
was that the steering felt a little heavier,
but in a good way.
DAN EDMUNDS: Yeah, it has really good feedback.
You really know which way the tires are pointed at all times.
You get a really good sense of straight
ahead when you're driving straight.
You don't have to make a lot of corrections,
you don't have to think about it.
It goes where you want to go.
And in corners it feels nice, when driving straight it
feels nice.
This is the best steering of the bunch by far.
Whatever they've done, it works, and I like it.
The ride comfort is nicely damped.
It's quiet, there isn't a lot of road noise.
The engine makes a noise you like
to hear when you lay into it.
But when you just cruise, it just
fades into the background-- there's not
a lot of wind noise.
This thing is really nice riding.
I mean, what you see is what you get.
This truck has coil spring suspension
which is really good.
There's less friction when it hits a bump.
The other thing I really like, the fenders
are cut down real tight to the headlights,
and it's really easy to see the corners of the truck.
It feels like I could see it right
in front of it, which is something I
can't say for the other trucks.
ELANA SCHERR: Is this the biggest
engine you can get in a Ram?
DAN EDMUNDS: It is.
The 507 HEMI is the top of the range.
There's two versions of it, though.
They both make it 395 horsepower,
which is more than the other to trucks,
and 410 pound feet of torque.
The 507 HEMI that we have here does not have the new eTorque
system-- that's coming soon.
And that system is a mild hybrid system that basically
improves fuel economy.
This one is good for 17 MPG combined,
but the eTorque version will be good for 19 MPG combined,
which is the same as the 3.5 EcoBoost.
This is the 8-speed that Ram introduced in 2014
in the last generation truck about halfway through.
And we really liked it then when it first came out.
We had a long-term EcoDiesel with that transmission,
and it was perfect.
ELANA SCHERR: I can easily imagine the Ram engineers
sitting together in a room and really saying
what do truck buyers want, what do they need,
and how do we give it to them, because that's
what this truck feels like.
DAN EDMUNDS: To me, the Ram is the best truck to drive.
I really like the steering, the 8-speed transmission
does everything I need it to do.
There's plenty of power, and the link coil suspension not only
rides nice, it's also really stable when you're towing.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: It's definitely a classy look that I enjoy,
not only parked in my driveway, but driving it on the highway.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
DAN EDMUNDS: All three of these are solid trucks,
and fans of each brand won't have any trouble
if they buy a new one.
But we've got to pick a winner.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: In third place, we had the Chevy Silverado.
It's completely redesigned and more capable than ever.
But in our tests, it doesn't have
quite what it takes to edge out the Ford and the Ram.
ELANA SCHERR: We really liked all three trucks.
But from the very beginning one stood out,
and it wasn't the Ford.
The F-150 might be the number one selling truck in America,
but it turned out number two in our test.
DAN EDMUNDS: That leaves the Ram 1500 as the winner of our test.
It's Edmunds top-rated truck.
The others may satisfy brand loyalists,
but this one could win some converts.
Well, that was fun.
TRAVIS LANGNESS: I had a great time.
We got to do it again, but first, dinner.
GROUP: Tacos.

Man Utd news: Ruben Neves likelier to join United over Man City because of two people - Duration: 3:02.
Manchester United and Manchester City have both been linked with Neves, who has caught the eye for Wolves over the past year
The Portugal international helped Nuno Santo's side secure the Championship title last term and has impressed following their promotion to the Premier League
Reports have claimed Manchester City want to sign the player but fear Manchester United will gazump them
The Red Devils hijacked City's deal for Alexis Sanchez in January, luring him away from Arsenal in a straight swap with Henrikh Mkhitaryan
United then stopped them from signing Fred this summer, paying £52million to secure the Brazilian's services
And Football Whispers writer James Piercy, writing for ESPN, claims United are frontrunners in the Neves race
"Neves has already been a breakout player in the Premier League this season and his performances for Wolves could spark a bidding war between the two Manchester clubs," he said
"According to Goal, City could make a January move for the 21-year-old midfielder after expressing an interest late in the Premier League transfer window
"However, Jose Mourinho's close relationship with Neves' agent Jorge Mendes means United could be at the front of the queue
" United have used Mendes to broker deals for Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao in the past
Surprisingly, though, they are yet to sign a client of the Portuguese since Mourinho took over in 2016
Neves, meanwhile, recently expressed his delight with life at Wolves. The Portugal star said: "We know the project of the club, they showed us this year with the signings that they are looking forward to doing very good things in the future

How Much Rice Can One Plant Produce?! - Duration: 4:47.
As a rice farmer I've never really considered: how much rice can one plant produce.
I suppose it's the scale of our rice farm that has me calculating in acres rather than
individual rice plants.
I know that, on average, we yield 10,000 lbs. of rice per acre.
But how much does a single rice plant yield?
Never thought about it until viewer, Steve T commented on Episode 75, titled "Dissecting
a Rice Plant in Search of its Head" with this question:
"How Many Kernels of rice does the average rice plant produce?"
Well Steve, it's a great question and we're going to find out!
And how we're going to find out is simply by pulling a rice plant and counting the rice
that it's producing.
You see each rice plant produces a seed head, as seen here, and each seed head is comprised
of several spikelets or blooms that are forming rice as we know it.
It's just fascinating, to me, that just one...oops.
That just one of these kernels of rice, or rice seeds, was planted in the spring and
now, at the end of summer, has produced this plant and therefore all these additional seeds
for our consumption or for next year's crop.
But before we find the final number of how much rice this plant is producing I should
mention that a number of factors determine this:
the variety of the rice, the overall health of the plant, as dictated by the level of
fertilization, weather patterns, soil type and ah hum, the farmer.
I should mention that this variety is Calrose medium grain m105.
Now, as I count this rice I thought rather than you just listening to me count 1,2,3
monotonously that I would represent each kernel of rice as a step in which it took to grow
this rice plant.
For example if there were only 10 kernels of rice than I'm going to include 10 farming
operations required to grow the plant, representing each kernel.
You'll see what I mean.
But first let's head into the shop.
Here we are.
Here's the rice plant.
Just let me remove the kernels for easier counting.
Let's move this screen to the top right and add a counter.
Finally let's add our first operation of farming a new crop of rice, which as I explained,
will represent the first rice kernel in our count.
Ready...go!
Alright!
51 kernels of rice, or seeds, that this plant produced.
I can't call it the average for this variety or the average for this field.
I would need to count several more individual rice plants to get that figure and I just
don't have time.
51 grains of rice is just how much this one plant produced but it gives us a good idea
of an answer to Steve's question.
And in those quick scenes we ended our farming operation and crop progress right here at
the plant being pulled.
Again, every kernel I counted was represented in a scene depicting the work that it took
to get this plant to this stage.
By the way, all of those scenes are from past episodes of Rice Farming TV so if you'd
like to know more about what was happening in a particular scene comment down below and
I'll link you to the specific episode.
Well guys what did you think?
Expecting more or less out of the production of these rice plants?
I want to thank Steve for the great question and encourage you guys to keep on asking.
I try to get to as many comments and questions as possible.
Thanks for watching guys.
Give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this episode and take care!

Sonic Franchise Review, History Earnings and Cost - Duration: 8:16.
Sonic is known as America's
Drive-in, it's another iconic franchise brand. That's grown to over
3500 units since they formed in 1959, but how did sonic get so big how much does a franchise cost?
How much can I earn and is sonic a good investment? We'll look at that today on franchise city
So sonic was started by Oklahoman Troy Smith who once his army duties came to a close
He purchased a hot dog hamburger and root beer stand
It was called the top hat and at the time he started at the crack of dawn delivering bread
He'd work all day and then work day and night at the top hat and when Troy and his new partner
Charles poppy tried to copyright the name they discovered that top hat was already taken
So at the time America was fascinated with all things atomic. So sonic seemed like a good tie in
1959 the first franchise agreement was drawn up in royalties back then were two cents on every
hamburger that car hops on rollerskates were added in and by 1970 Sonic had almost 100
Locations and we're doing 12 million in gross sales
They went public in 1991 and the two guys car advertising campaign started in 2003
It's become one of those popular qsr. Our campaigns in history
Sonic is no stranger to innovation and they recently introduced a new burger you might have seen it that blends hamburger meat and
Mushrooms apparently about 30% of the burger is mushrooms
Which seemingly is better for the environment and has lower
Calories than they're all beef version your estimated initial investment to Bergeron to begin a traditional sonic
drive-in ranges from about eight hundred and sixty-five thousand to
3.6 million
That includes your forty five thousand dollar franchise fee that you're going to pay to Sonic your maximum royalties are going to be 5%
Of gross sales and are actually based on your revenue brand free is 0.9
advertising co-op is
3.25 now currently there is a development incent
by way of amendment that's found in their FDD this provides a reduction of
Advertising co-op fees of 1.5 percent and royalty fees that are reduced scaled on your revenue
Your location is also part of the calculation and royalties will be influenced by whether you are in what's called a core
Developing market a new market or what year you open your location. So basically the royalties increased on revenue
So the more you make the more you're going to pay but in grand context with other brands sonic franchise royalties are quite reasonable
So for new markets
You'll pay two point four or five percent up to 125 K four point eight - at two hundred and sixteen thousand monthly
Core and developing markets are two point four five up to 83 K and four point six six at 116 in abhava
The CEO of Sonic Corp, his name is Clifford Hudson and despite having specific political views Mr. Hudson
limits those views publicly
he was recently quoted in an interview saying our
Franchisees make big bets on doing the right thing with the brand and by big bets
I mean they bet their futures their homes their mortgages hopes and aspirations for their kids
Speaking to keeping his political views at a minimum Hudson said you've got to be careful where you step
Now, that's it. It's not a big secret. However that Mr
Hudson has been a long-term
Financial supporter of the Democrats and the Clintons and was at one time appointed by then President Clinton as board
chairman for the Securities investor Protection corporation
This is somewhat ironic as Hillary Clinton was very vocal some of you might remember on what could be considered
Obscene pay packages for American CEOs now a few years back mrs
Clinton used statistics from the Economic Policy Institute citing the fact in
1965 CEOs were paid 20 times more than the average worker while in 2013 that pay grew to 18 hundred
Percent a 296 to 1 ratio. So CEOs were paid 300 times more than a worker and
Kurz pay only grew 32% average pay for a CEO fifteen point two million a worker is 50
Mm, and now bets on ik workers aren't paid anywhere near that so how much is Mr
Hudson paid to run Sonic you might ask
Let's take a quick look according to salary calm for 2017
Sonic CEO pulled in three million one hundred and fifty five thousand dollars that works out to about twelve thousand five hundred and seventy dollars
per working day
Assuming that every working day was attended and that's a lot of mushroom burger during his stay Mr
Hudson has created a rare senior management team that is comprised mostly of
Women and minorities his board also is predominantly including the same Mr
Hudson says that growing up in a segregated neighborhood formed his current business views and
Position a few things that you want to be aware of in the FDD page five
item five states that if you have not found a
suitable location that's approved by Sonic within six months that contract could be terminated and they're gonna keep
$15,000 of your forty five thousand dollar franchise fee item 17 on page twenty five refers to rights of termination and
You don't have any there's a twenty year term on traditional stores with one ten year renewal available to you
And you should be aware
There is a non competition
covenant that requires you to have no involvement in any competing business for eighteen months within
Three miles of your former Sonic store within 20 miles of any sonic restaurant even those under construction
So how much money can I earn with a sonic franchise?
well Sonic is one of the few franchises that actually lists their earnings on their website and here we'll take a look at a
screen capture
You can see that the earnings range is actually so large as to be almost useless data for franchise restaurants
The range of earnings is one hundred sixty-four thousand to four point 1 million
Now what sonic doesn't tell you and this is taken from Sonic's 2017 FDD
Financial report as you can see the earnings of the lowest stores
Have been shrinking from two hundred thirteen thousand and twenty fifteen to one hundred and ninety into sixteen
2016 to 1/64 inch one 17 average gross sales also dropped from 1.2 in 2016 to 1.25 in
2017 and this is a trend we see in many food franchises and is likely attributable
To the massive levels of competition in the marketplace you drive down any Street, there's tons of food shops
Now the franchise doors can manipulate this data in any way to sound as appealing as possible
taken from their website
It's a great time to own a sonic franchise and sonic franchise owners. Saw average gross sales by stores
increase
1.7 2 million in 2012 to 1.25 2 in
2017 with 25% of our stores exceeding
1.5 million in gross sales in fiscal year 2017 now you see what they did here
They reached back to 2012 and ignored that pesky data point the year before
that would have indicated that gross sales actually shrank from
The prior year now
If you're an investor, this chart is going to be of interest in outlines based on geographic location
what store revenues have been and as you can see it looks like the South and Midwest don't frequent Sonic as much as
Their West and North East counterparts. So what do you think is the mushroom burger a good idea?
Have you had one yet is Clifford Hudson a good CEO or is he overpaid?
Well sonic continued to grow or is their brand on the decline leave your comments down below

To Love-Ru Darkness True Princess (PS Vita) - Momo Ending (English Subtitled) - Duration: 13:49.
Uh, ow...
I can't believe Lala, she just sent us flying without even thinking about it...
Rito-san, are you alright!?
Are you hurt!?
Does it hurt anywhere!?
Ahh, yeah, I'm alright.
What about you?
I'm fine.
You protected me while I was falling after all.
I see.
Thank goodness...
Sorry, I came to save you, but I ended up not doing anything...
...That's not true.
You were very cool, Rito-san.
By the way, how did you know where I was?
...I don't think you should ask for too many details.
Well, let's just say that I heard about it from someone else.
...I see.
Then in exchange, is it alright if I have you answer a different question?
Why did you come here?
All the way out to a place like this?
...Don't ask the obvious.
Can't you tell that it's because I wanted to see you?
Eh...?
But why would you...?
That's obvious too!
I wanted to help you out!
Why for me...?
Ahh jeez!
You still don't get it after I've said all this!?
There's only one thing it can be, right!?
You're always worried about me, and you're always with me...
You're always smiling, and you encourage me too...
It looks like I fell in love with you!
Eh?
Ehh?
No way, you're kidding...
I mean, you're supposed to love Haruna-san and Onee-sama...
I don't remember anything about that!
I don't know how I used to be...
But my feelings right now are exactly what I just said...
Rito-san...
So what's it going to be?
What's your answer, Momo...?
...
Isn't my answer obvious...?
Rito-san, could you close your eyes?
...?
Like this-
...!
Mmm!?
*kissing*
*more kissing*
*gasp*
Hey Momo, what did you just make me swallow!?
...I never told you the reason as to why I was visiting this planet, did I?
Well about that...
It's because I found a way to bring your memory back here.
...!
A way to bring my memory back!?
What I made you swallow just now was a seed from the plants that are only available on this planet: "The Seven Spring Flowers of Time."
They say the person who eats one will see their time being rewound.
Since it was found in the darkness route, it's very valuable.
I just happened to find out about where it was growing a few days ago.
Why would you get that for me...?
Like I said, it's to get your memory back.
No, I guess it's more appropriate to say that I wanted to give your time back to you.
I just thought of something.
I thought that if your memory never came back, if you never went back to your old self, I would be okay with it.
But if we do this...
Everything will go back to normal.
Except, you would forget ever losing your memory.
W-Wait...
Then...
Then my feelings of being in love with you right now...
You'll forget about it, won't you...?
But that's for the best.
Because the harem plan...needs you to be in love with Onee-sama.
So this right now is a problem...
Ah, it looks like the effects are starting to kick in.
Rito-san, your memory will come back to you soon...
W-Wait, Momo!
I don't want to forget...!
It'll be alright.
Because I'll remember.
I'll keep loving you from here on out.
...Even if it was only for a little while, thank you for keeping me in first place.
Wait, Momo, I...!
Now then, it's time for a short farewell.
Rito-san, let's meet again...
Momo!
Ah!
Sis!
It's Rito and Momo!
Eh?
Ah, it is them!
Rito~!
Momo~!
Over here over here!
Honestly, Onee-sama...
Please put some thought into things.
Ehehe, sorry Momo.
You too Rito, are you okay?
...Rito?
...Long time no see, Lala.
Looks like I caused you a whole bunch of trouble.
Eh, Rito!
Did your memory come back!?
Aah, yeah.
It feels like it's been a real long time since we've talked like this...
Momo, what did...what did you do?
When we were falling earlier, it seemed that Rito-san hit his head really hard...
And it looks like the shock helped him get his memory back.
R-Really!?
Rito, did your memory actually come back!?
Looks like I gave people a hard time...
To you and Mikan too, Nana.
Rito...
Wah!
What, Lala!?
Don't just start clinging to me!
*crying*
Rito, I'm so happy for you~!
*choking*
If you put that much force into it...
You're...really happy that Rito got his memory back, aren't you Sis?
So Momo.
Why are you being so quiet now?
Sorry...
I heard that there were some rare plants growing here.
...Hmm?
What's the look for?
...If you say so, then I'll leave it at that.
Show some appreciation for Rito too.
He came all the way out here to save you, he tried harder than anyone.
He did...?
Sis!
If you do any more he's going to die!
Come on, let's head back to the ship!
Rito~!
I'm so happy for you~!
Thanks Lala.
Can you head back with Nana first?
I've got something to talk about with Momo, and then I'll go too!
Hey let's go Sis.
Let's leave the two of them alone.
Rito~!
We'll be waiting at the ship okay~!?
Um, Rito-san...?
What is it that you want to talk about...?
...Thanks.
Looks like you've been helping me out a lot, so I thought I should say something about it first.
You don't have to do that.
It was for you.
More importantly, I hope you're ready.
When we get back I'm going to advance the harem plan at full swing.
...Haha, whatever you say.
Even though all you've done is fill a guy's head with nothing but how much you love him when he had amnesia.
No no, we're just getting started!
I'm much more amazing when I get serious...
Eh?
Rito-san, why do you...?
*kissing*
*more kissing*
*more kissing*
*gasp*
I-I can't believe you would just launch a surprise attack like that and steal a kiss from a girl...!
You just did it earlier, didn't you?
...You even made me swallow something weird, so I felt like kissing for real.
You really do remember, don't you?
But why...?
Time was supposed to rewind for you.
Rewinding time was never something we could do...probably...
...You don't understand either, do you Rito-san?
If you don't get it, then there's no way I will, right?
What I do know...
Is that the me right now loves you the most, Momo.
Rito-san...
Hey you two!
What are you doing!?
Let's give it a rest and head home!
It's not going to be fun if we get attacked again!
Ah, sorry!
We're coming now!
...So, I still haven't heard your answer you know?
What are you talking about, Rito-san?
I already gave the answer by mouth a long time ago, didn't I?
...I love you, Rito-san.
Now and forever.
I'm overjoyed right now...
Huh?
I think I'm going to cry.
...Momo.
But is this okay?
I mean, me...?
Of course it's okay.
I told you, I love you.
I'll be counting on you again, Momo.
Rito-san...
Yes, I'll be counting on you too.

Man Utd news: Ruben Neves likelier to join United over Man City because of two people - Duration: 3:02.Manchester United and Manchester City have both been linked with Neves, who has caught the eye for Wolves over the past year
The Portugal international helped Nuno Santo's side secure the Championship title last term and has impressed following their promotion to the Premier League
Reports have claimed Manchester City want to sign the player but fear Manchester United will gazump them
The Red Devils hijacked City's deal for Alexis Sanchez in January, luring him away from Arsenal in a straight swap with Henrikh Mkhitaryan
United then stopped them from signing Fred this summer, paying £52million to secure the Brazilian's services
And Football Whispers writer James Piercy, writing for ESPN, claims United are frontrunners in the Neves race
"Neves has already been a breakout player in the Premier League this season and his performances for Wolves could spark a bidding war between the two Manchester clubs," he said
"According to Goal, City could make a January move for the 21-year-old midfielder after expressing an interest late in the Premier League transfer window
"However, Jose Mourinho's close relationship with Neves' agent Jorge Mendes means United could be at the front of the queue
" United have used Mendes to broker deals for Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao in the past
Surprisingly, though, they are yet to sign a client of the Portuguese since Mourinho took over in 2016
Neves, meanwhile, recently expressed his delight with life at Wolves. The Portugal star said: "We know the project of the club, they showed us this year with the signings that they are looking forward to doing very good things in the future
"For many players it is the first year in the Premier League, so we have to be calm
"We work on that and we will try to put Wolverhampton on another level. "Honestly, I don't look to the future
I am committed here and I want to help the club achieve very good things. "We have this year to work and to put Wolves where it deserves
"

kind of chose this topic for a columnist response because it's something I'm very passionate and
I feel like it's very reasonable to want kids to go to school and not to live in fear
I don't know some people don't think that but I think that way and it's how a rational human being should think
Whatever. I'm probably gonna put my computer away soon and get my shit together because I'm leaving tomorrow and
The next time you'll see me is when I'm on the road
it probably won't be when we first start cause I'm not sure if I'm gonna be driving
Like when we first leave or if my mom's gonna stop and then we're gonna switch
I guess we will find out
goodnight to everyone except for
Donald Trump Mike Pence and our fucking awful American government
I'm in the car alone right now. I'm about to drive I had too much Krispy Kreme last night. I feel like I'm gonna fucking vomit so
We're doing great here. Ladies
Hope I don't vomit! :)
I'm about to start editing this video
and I realized it ended in a weird place
Basically the last clip you saw was it fucking pouring raining in
Michigan
Yeah, basically my plan was to switch with my mom as soon as we got in Michigan or at least as soon as we could
Michigan because it'd be easier to drive like that
Let me tell you ladies and gentlemen and whoever doesn't identify that way
That didn't fucking happen
I'm a very unexperienced driver and my mom she did not trust me enough to
Drive and thank God she didn't because there's a fucking tree in the road and some dumbass almost hit it head-on. So
that's fucking great
Also, I wanted to tell a little story that I wanted to tell when I got to my cousin's house, but I couldn't because
there were children in the house and the house has thin walls
I did not want them to hear me say any bad words in fear of them repeating them
from me so let's get started!
So basically I was driving on the highway I had never driven on a highway ever in my life. This is my first time
You can probably see where this is going
I Didn't get in any accidents
Thank God, but I was trying to do a lane change and I'm very bad at those because I'm a very nervous driver
So I didn't want to hit anybody. My mom has a very big car
So it's hard for me to gauge the distance right make sense? This guy got really pissed at me and
Well, I mean
Let me spill the fucking tea here! This man this whole ass grown-ass man
I am literally freshly 16
This dude doesn't have any children doesn't look like even has a wife and if he does, bitch
Color me surprised because it doesn't look like he should
He'd make a New York City rat look good, basically
And so I was scared to do the lane change. I kind of did it slow. I'm sorry I get that whatever
He then as he passes me because he's an immature fuckwad flips me off
He's so lucky that I'm not from Indiana
Or wherever I was I'm pretty sure I was in Indiana and I'm not a fucking immature fuck wad like this dude
His minivan was probably made out of like plastic
Material and my mom's cars made have a solid fucking steel if I was a petty bitch
And I was stupid I could have some mashed
the hood of his stupid ass ugly-ass
Minivan that he's probably borrowing from his mother and he lives in her basement
Fuck you to the guy that flipped me off. If I truly didn't get two shits about my mom's life or her car
I would have smashed that bitch into
The three other lanes that were there because fuck you
Anywho! Tehe :)
I'm gonna end the vlog here because I have nothing else to say
I was gonna do a haul of all the stuff I got but that
Would take way too long
So I'm either just gonna make a video or I'm not gonna make video
I probably won't I don't think I have time for that but I have a new video coming if anybody cares
I'm actually very excited about this video is something that I'm
I guess passionate about I don't that's the word for but I'm very
excited
I'm not sure when that's gonna get filmed and edited. It might take a while. I don't know yet
Anyway if you like this, did you? you probably didn't
You can like and subscribe. I don't care if you do
Give this video dislike. I don't give a shit. Really
See you later you fucking losers

Elton John Sings His Heart Out During a Rap Battle in Hilarious New Snickers Ad - Duration: 2:44.
Sir Elton John is a man of many talents, but winning a rap battle isn't one of them
In a new Snickers commercial that premiered on Thursday, the 71-year-old singer becomes the latest famous face to appear in the brand's "You're Not You When You're Hungry" campaign
In the humorous ad, John stars as the "hungry" version of the rapper Boogie. When it becomes time for the rising star to spit his best flow in a rap battle, John appears in his place and proceeds to launch into an off-key rendition of his 1976 hit "Don't Go Breaking My Heart
" However, one of his friends quickly stops the singer and advises him to "eat a Snickers," explaining that "you always your edge when you're hungry
" After biting into the sweet treat, John turns back into the rapper, who takes part in the rap battle with ease
"They key to winning an epic rap battle? A SNICKERS, duh," the brand wrote on Twitter alongside a video of the new ad
"Most people already know I've long been an advocate of hip-hop, and that's why I wanted be a part of this–I got to hang out with Boogie and some great hip-hop talent from the U
K. too," John said in a statement about the commercial, according to Adweek. Continuing, he remarked: "I love the direction the new Snickers ads have humorously portrayed being off your game when you're hungry, but in a way that's current and relevant to young people, especially considering hip-hop is one of the biggest music genres in the world today
" In addition to being a huge fan of the ad, John was partially responsible for Boogie's involvement
"We worked with the talent team and Boogie to put together a virtual audition," Amir Kashani, who made the deal on the rapper's behalf, told Variety
"He dropped a freestyle over FaceTime and iPhone videos — and the choice really came down to the director and Sir Elton on whom to cast
" "Connecting with Elton John was also huge. His musical knowledge is crazy, he's super in tune with current hip-hop," the rapper added

"Perra Vida" ("Life's a Bitch") - Qué Pasa! (2018) [official music video] [with English subtitles] - Duration: 4:07.
This goes out...
to those who couldn't make it
to listen to this song.
Silence please... cameras, action!
Spotlights breaking the twilight in my room.
Still walking straight still a perfect diction
still connecting syllables with an architect's stroke.
This bitch ass life hits deep harder than a bullet,
I'm fighting to the verge but I get cornered against it.
With a strength you can't beat trying to give you wings
Creating lenghty lyrics, smart like Impala cars.
Speaking out my feelings, drawing a broader map,
I'm picturing scenes of pain in a vivid colour,
on how I see this world; in fractions of a second
describing my suffering and how it feels when I fall down.
And how I rise later, riding atop of my songs,
with my magic wand making hearts run high.
Posing proud because I am the originator,
in my ceremonial gear like a Holy Father.
I'm melting rumours away with my homies all day
music and my baby are my most beautiful loves.
I was certain that I'd be back to my land some day.
But wishing is not enough if you don't fight even for a day.
Since nothing is for granted, and if it ever is, it comes too late
words in frequencies through satellite and cable
so full of lies for all ages,
My lyrics were censored even on local TV stations.
Guided by rage creating these melodies,
It's so hard to find a tad of honesty these days.
Nothing consistent, nothing physical nor critical,
filling up your silences with my voice, that's my mission.
Life's a bitch, always stress and pressure,
A seed amid concrete turning tunes into anthems.
Life's a bitch, when your ambitions are gone,
all of your passions vanish into illusions.
Cameras, action... straight out of I-S-L,
the local crimes here are the kind you watch on TV,
Awake by day and night, I'll just sleep tomorrow,
I get noticed in these streets, a white dude in a bandana.
A hand in my pocket, the other one on my wallet,
my mind on my future, to shape it up my way.
Eyes to the front walking forward
the steps I took feel like a giant's.
Fighting as hard as I can for those things I love the most
blood, tears and money left along the way
Sustaining hard knocks, betting my life on it
losing hope, regaining it again.
Living every day to the limit, I'm day-dreaming,
as if it was the last one and then I'd drop dead.
Asking about my fame, but they're just looking for my dough,
Remember those years...? You used to listen to my tapes.
Spitting out my lyrics, so much passion, I'm burning
an instant feels like thorns, and a minute is hell.
A hard instrumental, words from my lips,
I was looking for friends but I kept finding foes.
Selling me out, always dodging temptation
Life is a bitch and each hard knock is a lesson
Living for a cause, dying for passions,
Keeping my head up fulfilling my missions
Nothing to lose, I'm hurt, no one's gonna help me
Fighting until I drop exhausted, trying to hold onto something
It's a hell of a life on Earth, I'm trying to escape
I realise there's no God in heaven to judge me.
Life's a bitch, always stress and pressure,
A seed amid concrete turning tunes into anthems.
Life's a bitch, when your ambitions are gone,
all of your passions vanish into illusions.
Life's a bitch, always stress and pressure,
A seed amid concrete turning tunes into anthems.
Life's a bitch, when your dreams are gone,
Any mansion becomes a prison.
Life's a bitch
This life's a bitch
Life's a bitch
This life's a bitch
Life's a bitch
This life's a bitch
Life's a bitch...

Circuncisão infantil (Child Circumcision: An Elephant in the Hospital) - Duration: 33:34.
I am Ryan, a friend of Lizzie's.
I do bio-physics research at Georgetown University,
and I also coordinate two non-profits that deal mostly with supporting families
and supporting people in their relationships.
Here is my family.
So my mission in life basically is to help people get along,
and towards that end, I do a lot of workshops with families
and I also help families understand medical questions.
So I am here to talk with you about circumcision,
I am calling it an "Elephant in the Hospital"
because it is this huge thing that happens as far as I see in our culture
but we have very little discourse about it.
It is performed between 500,000 and 1,000,000 million times each year in the U.S.,
almost entirely on infants within the first three days of life
and it is completely unnecessary; and I believe, based on my research,
entirely harmful to children.
So what we are going to run through, as quickly as I can,
is just a discussion what that process is like from the child's point of view,
what effects it has on adult survivors,
how we get parents to agree to it (what understanding parents have),
and how we get practitioners to perform it.
So before we do that, I actually just want to get a chance to see what our room is like
so we can see each other; therefore, I will ask a few questions and we're gonna use this technology for room assessment
that goes back to a before clickers. I am going to ask you, if you are willing,
to point in the direction as I ask you about each thing,
from beneficial, this wall is the beneficial wall,
neutral is the ceiling, and harmful is the wall over there.
For Example, what do you think of foot binding?
I mean you are anthropologists, most of you have heard of foot binding.
Where do you think it goes on the ...
okay we have everyone who chose to respond, thinks it is harmful.
Good I am pleased with that response.
Female Genital Cutting
how many people have heard of that?
Okay great, we have got universally harmful.
Okay what about say we were going to do prophylactic breast bud removal,
say we wanted to stop breast cancer
and save hundreds of thousands of women's lives per year,
and say we just cut all babies' breast buds off?
Beneficial? Harmful? Neutral?
Okay some neutral and some harmful.
Okay.
And what about cutting off non-essential tissue from a child,
say we just cut off all children's ear lobes
because we thought they were an inconvenience, a pain or they looked ugly?
Okay, we have got harmful.
So what about Circumcision?
What is our starting point?
We have got every response,
that's great; okay, so we have a diverse audience.
Now a couple of other questions
just to see who we are.
Who here thinks that they have a foreskin,
anyone?
Who here believes that they have a foreskin,
which is that part they remove during circumcision, right?
Okay, so that is a trick question.
Men and women, males and females, are both born with foreskins,
the foreskin is just a name for a part of the clitoris or penis,
and so probably most of the women here have one
and perhaps some of the males also.
Who here comes from a culture where
female genital cutting is a social norm?
No one, okay.
Who here comes from a culture where
male genital cutting is a social norm?
Okay, all of us pretty much, that I can see, okay.
And who knows someone who was genitally altered as a child
it could be you, it could be a friend it could be your parents, or child?
Mostly (all)!
Great, so all of that is just to illustrate how it's something that has touched all of our lives in some way.
So I am arguing that it is this big thing and that we don't talk about it a lot.
So I have to sort of explain why I think that.
So I believe that the discourse that we have in our culture about circumcision
is one that is used to conceal what the nature of the process is.
So you may have heard things like "well, you know, it makes the penis cleaner" and things like that.
You may have heard things like "everyone does it," "I am circumcised, I am fine,"
"It is just a little snip" or "it removes a useless flap of skin,"
this sort of trivializing language.
Well, we have heard all of these things.
What I am going to ask you to do is set all that aside,
all of that mass of experience in your mind,
and to try to come at it from a fresh angle where
these sort of illogical arguments of support for it are not part of your way of thinking.
I am going to propose that circumcision is this cyclical process in our culture
where we do it to children, they grow up to become adult survivors,
some of those people become parents,
and practitioners engage them in order to perform this surgery on their children,
which unlike any other surgery I am aware of in U.S. hospitals,
it removes a healthy and unique organ part
(actually with the exception of inter-sex genital modification,
which bears a lot of resemblance to it by the way).
It removes a healthy part of the body.
It is not used as a treatment.
Doctors don't think they are treating the children;
they know it is a social surgery they are performing.
It has significant complications.
It is performed on minors who cannot give their consent.
It is illegal, it is actually a federal felony to perform on girls,
but it is actually encouraged and performed on boys.
It results in life long function loss,
and the tissue is then used commercially.
So just a little context piece.
I hear you, believe me, and I will show you evidence of that.
I won't make such a radical claim without proving it.
So let's just finish our context piece with both the geography and the history.
So this is a map of the world sort of.
As you can see green countries represent places where genital cutting of boys is not practiced, generally speaking.
The small, the few yellow countries up in the northern regions
are places where it is becoming legally questioned.
Circumcision is now rare in Canada, England, and Australia
where it used to be practiced on babies also, but stopped.
In fact, in England, in the 1950's there was an article published
showing it killed a number of children a year,
about 14 a year,
so they stopped the practice there.
And the other places, besides the United States where it is done on babies,
in the other regions, most of the time, it is done on adolescents
in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Sunni Islamic cultures.
Now how did we get here?
It has become a medical practice rather than a tribal practice or a cultural practice.
And that came about in the late 1800's
when people had not the germ theory of disease,
but the nervous excitation theory of disease.
And people had the Victorian morality,
so people see what they expect to see a lot of the time.
So you can find a lot of published medical literature showing that circumcision cured
things such as, paralysis, epilepsy, hip joint disease,
and all sorts of problems that today
seem very unlikely for the process to have cured.
And people really thought that actually harming, the intention was to harm the genitals of the children.
And they thought that it would help in the long term
because it would prevent them from having so much sexual excitation
that being, in the Victorian model, the most dangerous type of excitation that one could have.
So, uhm, oops,
I should have given you a caveat,
my apologies...
There are going to be some graphic slides here,
and I certainly welcome you turn away at any point if you don't feel comfortable about looking at what you see.
And I will try to more often try to give you a warning when they are about to come up.
I would also mention actually another caveat:
I am going to use language differently.
I am going to switch now to mostly calling circumcision "genital cutting"
because I think that is more of a neutral term,
it's a more accurate or descriptive term.
I think "circumcision" euphemistically embeds our assumption that it is a fine thing.
And the term uncircumcised I am going to replace with the term "intact",
because likewise the term "uncircumcised" gives the sense that circumcision is the norm
and that those who are not circumcised are simply "not yet" circumcised.
And to illustrate that it would be kind of weird if we called women who had breasts"un-mastectomised"
right that would be uncomfortable,
and, likewise, I hope to sensitize us to the discomfort of calling "intact" "uncircumcised".
So the next few slides will have some less-comfortable things to see,
and, again, you are welcome to turn away if you want.
So this is the section on the Child.
The procedure for the child, we will run through what the procedure looks like.
That's probably the most graphic section, along with the complications,
and what I want you to think about is,
it is often times talked about from the parents' perspective,"parents have the right to choose".
I want you to question that discourse and think about what the child's point of view is.
Who owns the child's body?
What rights do they have?
Why are we doing it to boys and not girls?
What does that say about our views on gender, and so on?
So, this slide shows three different representations of people in the genital cutting process.
The top left is a young girl
being circumcised in her cultural scenario.
The top right is a young boy being circumcised in his cultural scenario.
And the bottom right is an infant boy in a hospital.
Now what I want you to look at is their faces.
Just look at their faces
because I am asking you to think about their experiences.
To me it looks like they are having a very similar experience.
And yet in our culture,
where I think of us as being kind of imperialist
we're very ready to point the finger and say,
Oh these terrible things these people do in these other countries where they practice female genital cutting."
yet we're silent about the male genital cutting
that occurs to children under the same conditions of hygiene
and the same death rates in those countries;
and we promote doing it to boys in our country.
So how do we do a circumcision?
The next bits are going to be the most graphic.
This is a circumcision restraint;
they strap the baby down into it,
and then they proceed with the procedure,
which I am going to show you a short video of.
This is going to include sound
if I hooked it up correctly.
and, again, you are welcome to not look; I find this uncomfortable.
Okay, so I want to encourage you to take a deep breath
if you have been having trouble breathing as I have during that.
Some things I think to notice is the sort of calm detachment
of the physician's voice.
So the physician is not at all distressed by this.
And the way the baby is crying.
I hear the baby's crying as the way I hear babies cry
when they are under extreme duress,
not you know, "I am hungry."
So beyond the pain of the procedure itself
and the pain of the many days it takes to heal,
there are a number of complications that a circumcision procedure puts a child at risk for.
You can sort of divide them into two categories.
Surgical complications,
which go from the more minor,
you know everyone has a scar that has been circumcised.
A lot of men don't actually know that the ring around their penis
is a circumcision scar,
or they learn it when they hear me talk.
But that always happens.
But a number of other complications can be problematic
that don't occur all the time,
like penile adhesions,
when the healing process goes awry
and two parts of the penis that weren't supposed to be connected link together.
Then these panels show in top left (A)
(A) that's called a fistula,
so its like a doctor induced hypospadias,
the black line going down is a probe that's entering the meatus, the opening of the urethra
and exiting out the additional hole
that the physician has caused.
(B) Top Right is a nearly amputated head of the penis.
(C) Bottom Left so much skin of the penis has been removed
(C) that the child's corpus cavernosa and head of the penis are lodged down inside the scrotum,
and in (D) Bottom Right the penis was accidentally amputated entirely.
There are also a number of post-operative complications
ranging from difficulty in breast feeding,
which is important because developing the ability to breast feed
is essential for infants.
Bleeding,
which is another sort of minimizing term,
you see that on consent forms, you know like"Oh, bleeding",
well it turns out an infant only has about 12 ounces of blood
so bleeding a couple of ounces might cause that child to die
or require a blood transfusion.
Increase in pain response.
Infection, which is also very serious for a newborn.
Meatitus, which is an irritation of the opening.
That also can be problematic because if it gets bad enough
the child will not be able to pee, and that would require the child to have catheterization.
Necrosis
and even permanent loss of the penis, or death.
I have talked with a pediatric urologist.
He is the type of person who gets the complications to deal with.
He said that over a two-year period he had more than 275 children to treat,
almost half who required surgery,
so they were subjected to an additional surgery
in attempt to correct whatever damage happened.
Okay, that's most of the graphic stuff,
except for in the next few slides we will see pictures of the actual anatomy of adults,
so you are also welcome to turn your heads aside for that.
How many people have seen a penis that was intact?
Either your own or a friends, you know?
Okay, if you haven't yet, see if you can find someone who is willing to show you.
I have talked to hundreds of men,
both men who have been circumcised and men who have not been circumcised.
I hear a lot of men who have been circumcised
feel upset about that.
They are aware or have become aware that something has been taken away from them,
and that their bodies were subjected to something without their choice.
I also hear parents talk about their regret from the procedure.
So what is the foreskin?
The foreskin is this sort of socially constructed thing.
It's really just part of the penis,
but now that we have cut it off, we have to give it a separate name.
In fact, a lot of potential complications lists that you get on your informed consent form
say that one of the risks is that you might injure the penis.
So we have constructed a reality in which cutting of the penis is not injuring it;
it is if you then cut part that you intended to leave that it is an injury.
So I want to show you what the foreskin is.
I want to spend some time on that.
The foreskin in the adult male, the part that would have been removed,
is about 12 to 15 square inches,
it is about the size of a 3" x 5" index card.
It is the most erogenous part of the human male.
It contains 10 to 20 thousand fine touch nerve endings.
And it also makes the penis shaft skin motile.
So it is the difference, you know when you are having sexual intercourse
or some kind of interaction,
it is the difference between this kind of interaction
or something if you can image a part of your body where the skin moves around nicely
(My cheeks are floppy, so I can do that, you know).
And that is actually a significant thing
because there is another kind of nerve that is called a stretch receptor
that gets stimulated in that motion,
and it is the male's contribution to mechanical lubrication during intercourse,
either male-male or male-female.
The foreskin can be broken down into a couple of specialized areas:
the frenulum is this sort of...
my hand isn't really long enough but...
It is this fanning out region here.
and there is the ridged band below it, that is were most of the nerves land.
and the dartos muscle is a cutaneous muscle
that allows the foreskin to respond to cold or fear
by surrounding the penis and pulling it in towards the body.
In 2007, the first research was done ever
to attempt to assess where the penis is sensitive.
So they took a group of males who were intact
and a group of men who were circumcised.
What you see on this color graph here
is that the most sensitive regions are that maroon color
and the second most sensitive regions are the purplish color.
If we compare that to a circumcised penis
what you see is that we have removed most of the most sensitive areas
and left just this region around the scar and the remainder of the frenulum
is really where most circumcised men are sensitive.
Therefore, you can compare them this way,
but you don't have to believe me if you can find a friend or two
maybe one who is circumcised and one who is not,
or maybe yourself,
you can look and can see where the sensitivity actually lies.
For most men it is in this region of the frenulum
or the scar remnant.
So just to get you a real picture,
what John here has done, he's a photographer,
he has taken a person with a foreskin
and drawn these lines, so you can see how much tissue it is as it retracts.
The other difference I want you to note
is that the inside what it does it generally surrounds the penis,
so it in a sense it invaginates it,
it gives it an enclosure,
and it keeps it moist.
So, if you compare that with the circumcised penis,
the tissue looks softer,
moister and warmer,
in addition to there being a lot more of it,
and it doesn't have the scar.
Those arrows there are pointing to the scar,
so you can see where that is.
I did want to invite, if you have any questions,
it is okay to ask me as we go along
because I am giving a lot of information.
Okay, then, jumping along to the parent.
Like I said I have talked with hundreds of parents
also especially doing all this work I do with parents,
I have talked with many who when they receive their child back,
that is the moment at which they understand what they had signed up for.
So there is a problem with informed consent
both that the information is lacking
and that parents are sometimes asked about it at an inconvenient moment,
such as when they are in labor, you know.
And they are also asked about it in this values neutral way.
Like, would you like a pillow? Would you like a cup of tea?
Would you like your child circumcised?
It carries the same sort of tone, you know,
and I am concerned about that.
So I view us as having this sort of manufacturing pseudo informed consent process
Where parents need to trust physicians --
The physicians are supposedly the ones
bringing in the discipline of medicine.
So they come in, but they are given this information that is very cursory,
it lacks real information about the complications, those are trivialized,
the foreskin functions are completely omitted,
it's not mentioned that it is actually a sexual organ,
and the ethical questions of making decisions about your children's bodies are omitted,
and there is also this undeclared conflict of interest
there is really a lot of commercial use of the tissue.
So the other thing parents don't know is that it is painful for a week or longer afterwards.
So the baby is not only in pain during the process,
but the wound has to heal,
it is a wound on the penis,
and babies are very sensitive to pain.
How many people have gotten to play with a baby, you know you had a friend with a baby or you have had a baby a few days old?
They are very fragile beings.
So what we have done is we've put this wound on this child,
and now this new parent who is dealing with the healing process
and the process of figuring out what it is like to have this new baby;
this new parent also has this added complications of having to watch for signs of infection,
of having to keep changing the bandage, and having the baby be more upset than he normally would have been.
In comparison, for the child who is not circumcised,
all you have to do is well, almost nothing.
In fact, you don't even wash the penis.
Just like you wouldn't was a baby's vagina with soap,
you just rinse it.
You don't retract it;
it becomes retractable on its own.
You have a baby with fewer health problems, and a child who is more content.
Now, I promised you that I would show that we actually do use the foreskin tissue.
We use it for three things
that I have been able to find.
We use it for research,
there are a large number of products you can buy from Invitrogen
which is actually a company from which I buy other things that don't contain foreskin
cells from for my bio-physics research.
So there are some of the products they sell using neo-natal foreskins,
you can look it up yourselves.
At a hospital you can get "magic skin treatment"
which is cultured, grown foreskin tissue,
and if you are very wealthy you can buy cosmetics
that are also derived from foreskin tissue.
Oh, the cosmetics?
Wait, say louder?
Audience member, "why would people want to use them on their skin?"
Oh, people think that they will make them less wrinkly.
The idea is that baby cells,
you know they are young, they do their job well, you know...
And, if you are disturbed by that, I am glad
because I would like us to be disturbed by that.
So let's hear from an obstetrician how they frame these sorts of things.
This is Lisa Masterson being interviewed on the Craig Ferguson Late, Late Show.
LISA," Yeah, and again you know what that is a personal choice
and as an Obstetrician, I talk to my patients a lot about this.
And really there's a lot of health benefits and there are some risk benefits,
but it is really a social procedure.
So you really have to decide, do you want your son to look like you?
You know it is a cultural thing it is a social thing,
And there are some health benefits, more for the lady than the man
but as far as decreasing STDs and passing on to ah you know other women HPV, which can cause cervical cancer,
so decreasing STDs and cancer all that good stuff."
CRAIG,"But couldn't you achieve the same effect by washing your pee pee on a regular basis?"
LISA,"You absolutely could."
CRAIG,"So we're talking, You can have this chopped off, or you can wash it,
your call?"
LISA,"Exactly."
CRAIG, "That's a tough choice there Doctor ... I dunno!"
So obviously I appreciate Craig's point of view there.
He is from Scotland, where they coincidentally don't do this to children.
And think about her discourse,
she's saying you have to choose as a parent,
and I want to question that framing of it.
Do you have to choose other body modification options for your child?
Like a nose job, or things like that?
And, if the idea of doing things to our children because we want them to look a certain way chills you,
I am glad because I want it to chill us.
I want us to wonder
why are we so busy making our children look like what we think boys and girls should look like?
In this case, we have this idea that boys should look a certain way in their genitals.
Okay, so the last section is, how do we get practitioners doing this?
So I have a few quotes from practitioners who stopped doing it,
like Marilynn Milos,
a nurse who, after seeing it, refused to assist with them
and was fired for telling parents they don't need to do it.
Michelle Storms, who is a very well known Obstetrician [sic, she is a Family Medicine Practitioner]
who said she was ridiculed and patronized after stopping them in 1988.
And I am at Georgetown, so I went and talked to the Head of Obstetrics at Georgetown University Hospital,
Obstetricians do most of them, and she says,
"Medically it doesn't make sense"
"I don't even like doing the procedure, but I do it well."
"I have performed thousands of circumcisions."
She was clear that it is a social procedure,
she was clear that it doesn't make sense medically,
And she told me in our conversation that she would not stop doing them.
So how do we make physicians into that?
Well, first we start by pathologizing a healthy organ.
Not only is the foreskin absent from most U.S. medical and anatomy texts,
There is, therefore, no education of the function.
It is not viewed as a sexually important organ.
Physicians are only taught how to remove it as a procedure.
and they are mistaught care, they are mistaught this "retract and wash" philosophy,
which is problematic because as you can see down at the bottom,
the foreskin when you are born is usually attached to the head of the penis.
What you saw earlier in the circumcision video
was the physician running this tool around to break the foreskin loose so that they could cut it off.
It is bonded like that to protect babies from, well all the sorts of things that babies do,
they might have feces or urine in their diaper,
they might get scratched up.
The foreskin has a protective function when you are young.
Gradually that detaches
and the foreskin becomes retractable,
but if you forcibly retract it, that tears it up
and creates a site for infection,
also if you wash with soap that creates a site for infection.
And finally, we make this misdiagnosis called "phimosis".
There is a true problem called phimosis when there is scar tissue
at the opening of the foreskin, so it can't retract
and there are treatments for it use steroidal cream to help the scar tissue soften.
But when we think that a baby who is three weeks old
because you can't pull the foreskin back without making the baby scream, that's wrong.
It is actually meant to be attached that way, it grew that way and it will become retractable on its own.
So, why do we do the circumcisions?
Well if you look at why parents say they choose the number one reason is appearance.
They want their child to look like the other children they'll see or they want them to look like their Dad.
They think it looks better, or they think it is easier to keep clean.
And I believe it is the solicitation by physicians that reinforces or validates the choice to do this.
The fact that physicians do it makes it look like a reasonable thing.
Physicians may also give several reasons to collude with this idea,
they may say it reduces penile cancer rates.
That it reduces urinary tract infections (UTIs),
Cervical Cancer rates in female partners that your child might have when they grow up.
And female to male HIV transmission rate reduction
is sort of the newest reason.
So as I showed you in the beginning, we have this sort of cultural baggage
a lot of reasons why we used to do circumcisions that don't make sense in today's cultural setting,
so we have had to come up with a posteriori reasons in order to feel more comfortable with what we are doing.
But I'll analyze those in more depth.
Besides the social critique that I think they are reasons we made up after the fact, in order to feel comfortable with it.
If we think about them carefully, appearance and cleanliness, the number one reason that circumcision is done.
Well that argument is used to support both male and female genital cutting
in every culture that I am aware of that either of those practices occurs in.
And they are just made up arguments,
I mean, how can you say that something is cleaner if you do one thing to it or another?
Penile Cancer, the American Cancer Society says no, it won't protect you from penile cancer.
It is also irrelevant; the rate is 1 in 100,000.
More people may die from circumcision than penile cancer.
Urinary tract infections,
well that was based on a big study in 1986,
done by a fellow, I kid you not, his name was Wiswell.
And the problem was his instructions caused urinary tract infections,
selectively in subjects with foreskins
because he told the parents to forcibly retract the foreskin and wash with soap.
So that is just like if you had a girl and you forcibly douched her,
you know a little girl, you would get a higher rate of yeast and urinary tract infections
because you have messed up the colonies of protective bacteria.
Cervical cancer in female partners,
Well, first of all, a surgical preventive measure on an infant
for a potential female partner when they grow up.
I mean, how do we know this person is not going to be a monk or gay?
And they could do it themselves later.
Also, cervical cancer is cause by human papilloma virus (HPV).
Probably most of you guys know that because you learned that in Sex Ed, right?
Well the same authors went back and looked at the husbands and wives in that study
and they had different strains of HPV.
So I don't know if there was under-the-table non-monogamy or what.
But that throws the results of that study totally into question
because the husbands were not carrying the HPV strains that gave the women the cervical cancer.
Gesundheit.
Okay, so the last one is circumcision as an HIV preventative.
Okay, that idea started in the 2000's mostly.
The evidence for it is three randomized control trials.
They were performed in Africa,
probably because you couldn't get a human review board to permit such a study in the U.S.
They got volunteer men who were willing to be circumcised;
they randomly circumcised half of them.
And they watched to see how quickly they got HIV.
They had some problematic methodology that I will get into later.
And their claim was that that reduced the rate at which men got HIV by 60%.
Now the evidence against circumcision as an HIV preventative
are pretty much all the other studies that have been done.
The geographic data,
if you look at correlation between circumcision percentage and HIV rates
in populations, it contradicts this conclusion.
For example,
the United States has the highest HIV rate of any industrialized nation,
and also has the highest circumcision rate of any industrialized nation.
You would expect something different if circumcision were so protective.
So, I've got a few minutes left. I am going to quickly run through what I think was wrong with the study.
Again, there were three studies, they took a group of intact men, circumcised them and watched how quickly they got HIV.
The problems were, each time they came to the clinic they gave them condoms
and safe sex counseling.
But the circumcised group came at least twice more
because they had to come to get circumcised and they had to come to get a follow up study.
In addition, if you are circumcised,
it will take you about four to six weeks until you are able to have sex again.
And the circumcised group was asked to abstain for six weeks.
But they didn't start the clock until after waiting for six weeks,
they started the clock at the beginning,
so the circumcised group had six weeks
of protection by being unable to have intercourse.
In addition, they used an anti-body test, which
you know, if you go to an STD clinic
and they use an antibody test, there is a three-month window.
They tell you, you've got to wait until three months after your last exposure
if you really want to know if you have HIV.
But again, they didn't start the clock after three months
and most the benefit or half the benefit occurred during those first three months.
So those infections occurred prior to the start of the trial,
prior to the randomization and intervention.
There were a lot of problems concerning controls,
including blood exposure and receptive anal intercourse.
I am also concerned because the authors of that study
likened circumcision to an effective vaccine.
Now all they are saying is that, if their results are accurate,
which I don't believe,
that it would reduce your likelihood of getting HIV,
you know each time you had sex, by 60%.
So, if you have sex enough, you will et HIV anyway with enough risky behavior.
The measles vaccine,
if you took that and its boosters, 99% of you become immune to measles.
Probably you are actually.
So that is what an effective vaccine looks like.
Ninety-nine per cent permanent immunity.
Not sixty per cent less likelihood to become infected each time you are exposed.
And real human beings think they are immune to HIV because they have been circumcised
in African countries,
and I am very concerned about that.
But anyway, so to re-cap,
I think we have a social bias toward cutting children,
particularly boys.
I think that it is very harmful to children.
It also hurts survivors.
It hurts parents, who really want the best for their children.
And it also hurts practitioners
because I believe that medical students come into school wanting to help people,
and they get taught about this procedure in an out-of-context kind of way.
Most of the people I talk to think it is not their responsibility to do anything about it,
including professional organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics,
the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,
the practitioners, you know,
because their job is to keep the practitioners looking good.
So, if you say something is bad that your practitioners are doing, that doesn't look so good.
The administrators of the hospital and the practitioners there don't want to stand out.
The obstetricians don't even think the child they are operating on is their patient.
The ethics committee of the hospital
told me that they are not the appropriate venue for this concern.
And I think all of these organizations are neglecting parents, children, and us.
So I am hopeful that I have engaged you with some interest
and that maybe you will go and tell people about this.
Because, if they are not going to take responsibility, I hope that we will.
So tell your friends.
I am going to give a link to this slide show to your professor. [A link to the files is available in the description.]
