Is the Rosa Parks Story True? - Duration: 10:05.

Did you know that Rosa Parks was a hardcore civil rights activist?

So why are we told that she was a tired old lady on a bus?

Especially, since she wasn't even the first black woman to refuse to give up her seat

in Montgomery, Alabama?

So let's get something straight right up front.

Rosa Parks wasn't just a tired lady on a bus, she was a boss.

But the story of Rosa Parks as taught in many schools and spoken about in the media, is

usually truncated to a very specific set of biographical details.

And it goes something like this: The black seamstress was riding a bus in Montgomery,

Alabama in 1955.

The buses were segregated with designated sections for black riders and white riders

and when Parks was asked to give up her seat for a white man she refused.

Her subsequent arrest and fine for violating segregation laws led local black leaders to

organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott, led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The boycott lasted from December 5th 1955 until December 20th 1956, during which black

community members refused to ride the bus until the segregated seating ended.

The boycott concluded when the Supreme Court ordered Alabama to integrate its buses and

both Reverend King and Parks went on to become national figures in the US Civil Rights Movement

of the 20th century.

But while that narrative presents some key details of the story, it also distorts or

eliminates others.

And the result is a massive simplification of Parks' years of activism on behalf of

the NAACP, her advocacy for black women sexual assault survivors, and her lifetime of work

that extended far beyond the end of the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955.

So to begin expanding the story of Parks' narrative and why we rarely, if ever, hear

about it we should first ask ourselves:

What does this story not tell us about Parks' early life and activism?

Born in Tuskegee Alabama in 1913, Rosa Louise McCauley grew up in the state.

At age 11 she enrolled in the Montgomery Industrial School for Girls, also known as Miss White's

School for Girls which was founded by white women from New England with a mission to educate

black girls in "domestic skills as well as academic subjects."

In her book Freedom's Daughters: The Unsung Heroines of the Civil Rights Movement from

1830 to 1970 Lynne Olson notes that the school was set on fire TWICE because the curriculum

included ideas of racial equality.

Parks herself wrote that at the school "What I learned best was that I was a person with

dignity and self-respect, and I should not set my sights lower than anybody else just

because I was black."

I'm not crying you're crying.

After taking some time away from school to take care of sick family members, Rosa married

Raymond Parks at age 19 and received her high school diploma a few years later.

Both she and her husband were activists and protesters.

And this role didn't come without great danger or personal risk.

When 2 of her husbands' fellow organizers were killed Parks worried that, "Every time

he was at those meetings with those people I wondered if he would come back alive…"

Which is not exactly the kind of quote you'd expect to hear from an unassuming old lady

on a bus.

In 1943, Rosa Parks joined the NAACP and was asked to take the minutes for the meetings

because the male leaders decided that they needed a secretary.

So clearly the civil Rights movement hadn't exactly caught up to full fledged feminism

at this point.

But, working with E.D.

Nixon, the president of the NAACP Montgomery chapter, Parks went on to organize demonstrations

and actions throughout the 1940s and 1950s such as the NAACP Youth Council, and investigating

the 1944 case of Recy Taylor, a black sharecropper and mother whose courageous search for justice

is the subject of the new documentary The Rape of Recy Taylor.

So despite the popular narrative that Parks was just a tired seamstress who unknowingly

sparked a national and international response with her refusal to give up her seat, she

was very clearly making a conscious choice to fight against injustice and her years of

activism extends far before her 1955 arrest.

And that leads us to the next question:

What actually happened on the day of Parks' arrest?

So the first misleading detail of the more popular story is that Rosa Parks refused to

stand up from her seat on the bus because she was tired after returning home from work.

But as Parks' herself noted in her autobiography, "People always say that I didn't give

up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true.

I was not tired physically…

No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in."

And although there is often an over emphasis on the portion of the history where Parks

was returning home from her job, she actually subsequently lost her job for her association

with the movement.

But Parks' intention wasn't necessarily to spur the onset of the larger boycott.

And she also wasn't the first black woman who had refused to give up her seat.

On March 5th 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks, 15 year old Claudette Colvin also refused

to move from her seat for a white passenger.

And although numerous black women had protested or refused to give up their seats, most were

fined and released without much attention being drawn to their individual cases.

But Colvin was also one of the four plaintiffs in Browder v. Gayle, the case that eventually

overturned segregated buses in Alabama.

So that leads us to another important question:

Why did Parks' case become national news while Colvin's and other black women's

did not?

Colvin speculates that her narrative went largely untold as a predecessor to Parks'

because the NAACP felt that the adult, stately, and reserved Parks presented a stronger image

around ideas of black uplift.

Colvin felt she was largely excluded from the narrative in the public eye because she

was young, and later became a teen mother, so the male leadership of the NAACP in Montgomery

decided that Parks' image more closely aligned to their decision to challenge the segregation

of the buses.

Also leaders in Alabama were advocating for a bus boycott before Parks' arrest.

She was chosen as a leader of the movement because of her work with the NAACP and her

demeanor.

But the bus boycott wasn't a spur of the moment decision, but rather the result of

careful planning and advocacy that went on for over a year.

So although Parks' actions were portrayed as spontaneous, the subsequent legal battles

and public actions were well planned and well orchestrated on the part of community leaders

and Parks herself.

Parks later went on to become a lifelong advocate for equality before her death in 2005.

And that leads to our final question

Why do we often only hear a simplified version of Parks' story in popular retellings?

While there's no one answer to this question, I've given it some thought and here are

some potential reasonings.

Although the bravery of Parks' activism and the success of the Montgomery bus boycott

is celebrated today, the work she did during her lifetime to support civil rights wasn't

always popular or safe.

And in creating our country's history of itself, often on the way to spreading and telling

stories more broadly (which is important work since these stories deserve to be told), there's

also a rush to simplify.

But the effort to focus on individual seismic events, like the Montgomery bus boycott, often

trims the complexity of the biographies of public figures like Parks and Dr. King.

So Parks was shifted from a radical and dedicated activist whose effort spanned decades, to

a tired woman on the bus in order to universalize her story, which is detrimental to the accuracy

of her larger body of work.

So how does it all add up?

Well despite the popular narrative of a shy and unassuming seamstress taking a stand by

keeping her seat, the complexity of Rosa Parks' narrative far exceeds such a simple equation.

But as for Claudette Colvin, when interviewed for NPR in 2009 she noted that the day of

her arrest was during her school's curriculum for Negro History Month and she said,

"My head was just too full of black history, you know, the oppression that we went through.

It felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on

the other side of me pushing me down.

I couldn't get up."

Clearly telling historical narratives with greater detail and accuracy can inspire us

all to greater action.

So rather than viewing stories like Colvin's and Parks' as passive decisions that lead

to larger actions we should stop to remember the very active and courageous work these

black women did in the advancement of US Civil Rights cases in the 20th century.

So what do you think?

Any other theories backed up by evidence why we only hear a portion of Parks' story?

Any other historical figures you want us to cover on the show?

Drop them below, happy Black History Month, and see you next week!

Last week's episode was on why pink is for girls and blue is for boys.

Let's see what you had to say.

Adam Marentes on Youtube asked about First Lady Mamie Eisenhower's love of pink and

how she helped to spread the popularity of the color during her husband's presidency.

Some other viewers on Facebook were also interested in the origins of Mrs. Eisenhower's signature

hue, which I found tied to her choice of a ball gown for her husband's inauguration

as well a paint colors attributed to her.

Check out the works cited for more information on "Mamie Pink" and thanks Adam!

Shinxy on Youtube asked another question that kept popping up from multiple users, "were

the pink triangles used to label prisoners as homosexual in Nazi Germany connected to

representations of pink as associated with gender?"

Professor Jo Paoletti (whose work I cited in last week's episode) weighed in on the

topic down in the comments and on her blog.

She posits that this timeline doesn't add up, specifically because the origins of the

pink triangle in the 1940s was specific to certain camps but not universally used.

Also it was used in concentration camps to mark men accused of homosexuality and also

to label those accused of being sex offenders.

And finally knowledge of its usage by civilians after World War II doesn't line up to the

rise of popularity of pink in the US.

You can read more on her blog, which I've linked below.

And lastly thanks for all of your feedback about the significance of colors across cultures.

Continue to drop all of your great comments and questions and please share links to any

must read items so we can all broaden our understanding in contexts outside of mainstream

US culture.

That's it for now and we'll see you next week.

My Crazy Summer Plans - Duration: 4:52.

What are you looking at, Ollie?

judgy mc judger face

hi everybody, I'm Amanda the G

and welcome to another word vomit

where I just talk

let's talk about the tide pod challenge!

I'm not gonna eat one, I'm not stupid

let's talk about why people are actually doing this

and specifically why teenagers are doing this

and I've seen a bunch of different articles

go into this

but, they're kind of stopping short a little bit on some of the neurology behind it

your frontal lobe is not fully developed until you're in your mid to late 20's

so

basically if you subscribe to Freud, the superego isn't there

so there's no real thing telling you critical thinking-wise 'this is a bad idea'

which is also part of why teenagers seem to think that they're invincible

so you combine that with the whole

everything is online, so there's a lot more people

to do all this peer pressure

and you think, 'oh, I could eat a tide pod, and all these people are telling me to eat a tide pod

and it's not gonna hurt me, because I'm a teenager' it will hurt you, don't eat it!

then you combine that with the fact that it looks like candy

and it doesn't matter if you're an adult who can tell this isn't candy

part of your brain still goes

it, it looks like it's candy

and I've seen articles go into all of that, and, and talk about that

but

what they're missing

is the role that dopamine plays in all of this

every time you get a like, a comment, subscribers, followers, all of that

does not matter

who you are

your brain rewards you with dopamine

and it feels good, so you do it

but that aside, it's frikin' stupid, don't eat goddamn tide pods

like, don't eat detergent! it's not FOOD it's chemicals, it's poison

it will kill you

there are better ways to get dopamine

neurology's really cool

as a teenager, I never really felt invincible

I always thought that teenagers could die and that's probably because there was a lot of

dying teenagers percentage wise in my home town

like most years, somebody died in the high school or the middle school

so to me

teenage years were potential death

and I also grew up with Columbine

we had active shooter drills in my high school

so it's still kind of weird to me that teenagers still think they're invincible

with all of the shit that happens in the world

I've decided to do a Tough Mudder

this year

so this summer, I am doing a full Tough Mudder. I already bought it

so I'm clearly doing it

and if you follow me on social media, you'll've seen posts about it

cause I'm doing it!

and why?

to prove to myself that I can

and to prove to others that I can

it's something I've thought about doing

for a while and I, honestly, I haven't run a race

since probably high school

when I ran cross country

so, a long ass time

but

I run occasionally and I can run 7 miles now and be ok

sooooo

theoretically by the summer, the 10 mile part is not gonna be the HARD thing

I'm really just more nervous about grip strength

than anything else

can I climb through mud?

sure

do I mind getting dirty?

no

can I shimmy my way through a tunnel?

yes

can I climb over things?

I'm a frikin' monkey, I love to climb!

grip strength!

and I bought myself a set of rings

so I can work on grip strength stuff and rings

and that kind of stuff in my basement

so I don't have to embarrass the crap out of myself

because I do think at one point I'm probably gonna have to go to a playground

to do the like

whatever- whatever that thing is- monkey bars

monkey bars!

you gotta practice that shit

my goal is to finish

and hopefully finish in under 3 hours, cause 3 hours I think is kinda like the average

I hate the feeling

when you're about to sneeze

but then you don't

and I feel it right now, but I'm not gonna sneeze

why?!

I actually like sneezing cause I feel like it kinda clears it out and then you breathe better

but I'm always afraid when I'm driving that I'm gonna sneeze

and then have an accident

plateeeeesma

that's my favorite facial muscle

just because I like saying it

plateeeeesma

it's the muscle make you go like this

plateeeeeeeesma

(laughing) I'll stop now

(choking) (coughing)

(exasperated) my body's trying to kill me, I just choked on my own spit

I'm gonna end this video on that happy note and go drink some water

if you liked this video, click the like button

and subscribe to my channel, I make a new video every Tuesday and Friday

thank you guys so much for watching

MWAH!

I'm so sore

(groaning)

the struggle is real, people!

February TBR & Currently Reading - Duration: 4:03.

Hi, it's Maija here with my February TBR. I'm in the middle of a bunch of books

currently and also I have a couple of books planned that I want to read in

February, so I thought I'd film one of those elusive sorts of Maija Reads videos,

namely a TBR video. So I am in the middle of four books currently, and one of those

is The Raven boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I started reading this and read until

page 185 and things were just starting to happen and the plot was starting to

get rolling, but for some reason I put it down and started reading other things

instead. I would really like to finish this at some point. Then I have been

reading this book for a while now, I started this in November or December.

This is a nonfiction book, The Black Count by Tom Reiss, and it's divided

into three parts and I have read the first two parts. This tells about the

author Alexandre Dumas' father, General Dumas, who worked for the army, and he was

a nobleman who was half black and half white in late 1700s - early 1800s France.

And this is a really intriguing book, because it tells everything that is

happening in French history at the time, like the French Revolution, and also

telling us about Dumas' life. It's at the same time very educational when it comes

to France's history and the history of black people in France, but also I'm very

invested in Alex Dumas' life and I just want him to have a happy ending. I'm also

buddy-reading another nonfiction book, and that is How to Be a Victorian by Ruth

Goodman. I'm reading this together with Kelsey and Rachel, and I will leave a

link to their channels down below, and this is just about the everyday life of

a Victorian, it starts from the morning and goes on until night. And we are

reading a chapter every two days. I am just now in the Getting Dressed

chapter where I have learned a lot about the dress of the Victorian man and woman,

and I also really like how the author goes through the clothes and habits of

people from different social classes in the Victorian times and sort of compares

and contrasts them. So I've only read about one and a half chapters of this, but

it's very interesting so far. And then on my Kindle I am reading All Systems Red

by Martha Wells, which is a science fiction novella, the first in the Murderbot

novella series. And I was planning to read this before the nominations

closed for the BooktubeSFF Awards, but I didn't end up reading it. The nominations

are now closed, so I will still need to finish this one. So those were the books

that I'm currently reading and then I also have a couple of others that I'd want

to start or read this month. And AYearAThon is currently going on this week,

and the theme for that is New-to-You Authors, and I had been planning to start

The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge for this. I haven't read anything from her

before and I have really wanted to read this one, but since I am in the middle of

All Systems Red and The Raven Boys, I'm hoping to finish at least one of those

before I start this one, so that I don't have too many books going on at the

same time. All Systems Red would also qualify for

the theme, since I haven't read anything from Martha Wells before, but I'd really want

to read this this week. There's also an extra challenge in the AYearAThon, which

is to read a translated work, and I didn't think I had anything for this, but

I actually have out from the library the first volume of... what is it, what is this

called in English... Ancient Magus' Bride. It's just called Velhon morsian or The

Wizard's Bride in Finnish, by Kore Yamazaki. It is the first volume of

a manga series, a fantasy manga series, so this could count for a new author and

for the translated work categories, so I might just read this one this week as

well. And then finally I have a book that I showed you in my last haul video, which

is borrowed from my friend, and that is Odininlapsi by Siri Pettersen,

and this is also a translated work from a new to me author, as it happens, but I

don't think I can start it this week. This is the Finnish translation of a

Norwegian book and there is no English translation, at least not yet.

So this is my February TBR, let me know what you are currently reading, and I

will see you in my next video. Bye!

OFS Upcycle: Upholstered Spool Ottoman - Duration: 4:51.

Hey guys, it's Clara from Online Fabric Store.

Today, I'm gonna take this old spool and turn it into an ottoman.

It'll have a cover you can take off so you can also use it as a coffee table, so let's get started.

The materials you'll need are: decor fabric, a staple gun, a hot glue gun, a serrated knife, jute twine,

castors, padding, upholstery foam, and plywood.

We found this spool at the Brimfield flea market.

It says Bethlehem Strand and probably held wire rope made at the now-defunct Bethlehem Steel in Pennsylvania.

I had plywood cut to fit on the top of the spool and cut out holes where the bolts are.

This way it can be easily removed and used as a coffee table.

The upholstered top won't move around when positioned on the bolts.

Place the plywood on the foam and trace around it.

Use a serrated knife to cut the foam.

Don't worry if the sides don't look good because it will be covered with padding later.

Place the foam on the batting, then the plywood on top.

Leave enough padding so it can be wrapped around the back of the plywood. Cut off any extra.

Start by stapling in four places on the edges.

Place a staple between two of the staples then fill in the rest.

Cut off the extra padding.

Lay the decor fabric face down then place the plywood on top.

Leave enough fabric around the edges to wrap around the back.

Staple the same way as the padding.

Do your best to create smooth sides, but it won't be perfect because of the curved shape.

Trim the extra fabric.

If you want to make the back look more finished you can use dust cover fabric.

Cut it into a circle fold under the edge and staple.

I don't really care what the back looks like because it won't be seen.

I'm adding wheels so it's easy to move around.

Place the casters where you want on the bottom of the spool. Mark the holes for the screws.

Drill pilot holes for each castor.

Then screw them in place.

I'm leaving this spool unfinished, but you can certainly add a clear finish if you want.

I'm going to wrap the middle with twine to add another decorative element.

Use hot glue to secure the end of the twine.

Glue in several places the first time the twine is wrapped around.

Continue to wind the twine around the spool, at this point you'll be glad it's on wheels.

Wrap the twine until the spool is full.

Hot glue the end.

Place the upholstered top on the spool so the holes snap over the bolts.

The spool Ottoman or coffee table is done.

This spool used to hold wire rope decades ago, but now I've given it new life, and it'd be happy in any rustic home.

Thanks for watching this OFS project.

Boromir's Speech | The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) CLIP 7 (+Subtitles) - Duration: 4:51.

Boromir!

Boromir!

This city was once the jewel of our kingdom.

A place of light and beauty and music.

And so it shall be once more!

Let the armies of Mordor know this:

Never again will the land of my people fall into enemy hands.

This city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed for Gondor!

- For Gondor! - For Gondor!

- For Gondor! - For Gondor!

Good speech. Nice and short.

Leaves more time for drinking!

Break out the ale! These men are thirsty!

Remember today, little brother.

Today, life is good.

What?

He's here.

One moment of peace, can he not give us that?

Where is he?

Where is Gondor's finest? Where's my first-born?

Father!

They say you vanquished the enemy almost single-handedly.

They exaggerate. The victory belongs to Faramir also.

But for Faramir, this city would still be standing.

Were you not entrusted to protect it?

I would have done, but our numbers were too few.

Oh, too few.

You let the enemy walk in and take it on a whim.

Always you cast a poor reflection on me.

That is not my intent.

You give him no credit, and yet he tries to do your will.

- He loves you, Father. - Do not trouble me with Faramir...

...I know his uses, and they are few.

We have more urgent things to speak of.

Elrond of Rivendell has called a meeting.

He will not say why, but I have guessed its purpose.

It is rumored that the weapon of the enemy has been found.

The One Ring.

- Isildur's Bane. - It has fallen into the hands of the Elves.

Everyone will try to claim it: Men, Dwarves, wizards.

We cannot let that happen. This thing must come to Gondor.

- Gondor. - It's dangerous, I know.

Ever the Ring will seek to corrupt the hearts of lesser Men.

But you, you are strong. And our need is great.

It is our blood which is being spilled, our people who are dying.

Sauron is biding his time. He's massing fresh armies.

He will return.

And when he does, we will be powerless to stop him.

You must go.

Bring me back this mighty gift.

No. My place is here with my people. Not in Rivendell.

- Would you deny your own father? - If there is need to go to Rivendell...

- ... send me in his stead. - You?

Oh, I see.

A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality.

I think not.

I trust this mission only to your brother.

The one who will not fail me.

Remember today, little brother.

Visiting Salvador da Bahia with my family - Duration: 5:44.

Hi guys!

This is Mic speaking!

I'm from Denmark, and on this channel I teach English to Brazilians.

Today's video is about a recent trip I made to Salvador da Bahia in Brazil.

I went there with my family at the end of January 2018, and we stayed for 3 nights.

Yes, I haven't mentioned it before, but I have a family of my own in Brazil.

We went to one of Salvador's many shopping malls, called Salvador Shopping, which is very nice.

I think one of the most Brazilian things nowadays is going to the mall.

A huge part of the population go there frequently in their free time, but I find this a bit sad.

I am not very fond of malls.

While it can be nice to go to the mall, it's also very stressful and somewhat "empty" in my opinion,…

...and I personally prefer doing something outside,...

...for example hiking, going to the beach or just having a walk in a park.

During our 3 days in Salvador, we also did a day trip, ...

...visiting 2 islands in the Bay of All Saints just outside of Salvador.

One of them is called Ilha dos Frades,...

...which is located one and a half hours by boat from the harbor of Salvador.

The island is small and has been protected from exploitation by the tourism industry.

No big hotels and resorts are allowed on the island.

One of its beaches has been awarded the "Blue Flag".

The Blue Flag is an ecological label...

...awarded to beaches whose water quality and preservation efforts are exceptional.

Only around 4400 beaches in the world have the Blue Flag.

On the boat there were around 150 people.

What surprised me was that it seemed like most people spoke Spanish, and not Portuguese.

I had never before seen so many people from Argentina and Chile in one place.

The second island we visited is called Itaparica.

Itaparica is one of the biggest islands in Brazil and it has around 90 thousand inhabitants.

The people who arranged the boat trip are very smart.

They took us directly to a big restaurant, which probably is theirs.

So apart from earning money from the boat trip itself, they also earn lots of money...

...from all the people on the boat having lunch at their restaurant.

But the restaurant was actually pretty nice.

It served mainly traditional food from Bahia,...

...most of it containing palm oil, which in Portuguese is called dendê.

I really like it!

For 40 Reais you can eat as much as you want from their open buffet.

This was the first time I went to the Ilha dos Frades and Itaparica,...

... even though I had been to Salvador more than 10 times before.

The first time I went to Salvador was during my first trip to Brazil in 2009.

At that time, I didn't really like Salvador, as it seemed very chaotic to me,...

...very different from Denmark.

And I also didn't speak much Portuguese at that time, so I felt like a real stranger,...

...a real gringo.

I also didn't feel very safe at the Pelourinho for example.

Now, 9 years later, my experience is totally different.

I feel like I understand Brazil very well today,...

...and a place like Salvador isn't strange to me any more.

Salvador is a beautiful city, full of history and colors.

I still don't like it that much, but that's because I personally don't like big cities in general.

I believe that living in a big city is very stressful.

It's not something we as a species are adapted to.

More than 95 percent of our evolution we lived in peaceful natural environments,...

...without the constant stress that cities bring with them.

Of course big cities also have advantages,...

...and many people depend on them for reasons such as work and culture.

But for me personally, it's important to get out into real, wild nature as often as possible.

Anyway, when I visited Salvador for the first time in 2009...

... I never thought I would have a family here in Bahia in the future.

President

Trump Tells NBC to Go Stick It on their Super Bowl Interview Request

President Trump told the far left Trump-destroying NBC to go stick it this year with their Super

Bowl interview request.

It was another good choice by the US president.

We all know they wouldn�t ask about the booming economy or record unemployment numbers

� they�re only interested in the fake news Russia, Russia, Russia witch hunt.

CNN reported:

President Trump has decided not to participate in a Super Bowl Sunday interview this weekend.

�He is not doing a Super Bowl interview,� a White House official told CNN on condition

of anonymity on Wednesday.

Sources at NBC affirmed that their interview requests have been turned down.

But Trump still has an open invitation, should he choose to change his mind, the sources

said.

NBC is televising the Super Bowl on Sunday.

It is traditionally the highest-rated event of the year by far.

A pre-Super Bowl interview with the president has become an American tradition in the past

decade.

When Fox televised the Super Bowl last year, Trump sat down with Fox�s Bill O�Reilly

at the White House.

Bill O�Reilly interviewed President Trump last year before the Super Bowl

Top 10 People Who Went Broke After Winning The Lottery - Duration: 6:37.

How's it going YouTube?

I'm your host Landon Dowlatsingh and welcome back to another most amazing top 10 video.

Have you guys checked out our shop yet?

Head on over to mostamazingshop.com after this video and check out our awesome merch.

We all dream about winning the lottery and thinking about how we would spend our new-found

fortunes.

Well, some lottery winners act like they have money to burn and they end up spending their

money on crazy things and before they know it, they are completely broke and worse off

than before they won the money.

So let's take a look at the top 10 people who went broke after winning the lottery.

Starting off this sad list in at number 10 with a Typical scenario.

Lisa Arcand was the lucky winner of $1 million dollars in the Massachusetts lottery back

in 2004.

She did the typical things lottery winners usually do like buy a house and go on several

vacations.

However, when you really think about it, $1 million dollars after tax isn't that much

money in todays world.

After she realized how quickly she was going through her winnings, she opened up a family

restaurant to try and earn additional income.

Unfortunately, within a few years, she completely ran out of money and her restaurant had to

be shut down.

She actually said that her lottery experience was more depressing than anything.

Unhappy meal makes its way into number 9.

Luke Pittard won $1.9 million in 2006 but he quickly spent all of his winnings on a

trip to the Canary Islands, a wedding and a house.

A year and a half later, he was flat out broke and he was forced to find a job again.

He applied to McDonalds and now he works in the kitchen flipping burgers.

He said that he's happy though…but I think that's a lie.

People who win the lottery should be forced to talk to a financial advisor so things like

this don't happen.

Karma creeps in at number 8.

Denise Rossi won $1.3 million dollars in the California lottery back in 1996 but instead

of telling her husband of 25 years about her winning the lottery, she asked for a divorce

and said that she wanted it done quickly.

Well soon after the divorce, he ex-husband discovered her lie and in 1999 a judge determined

that she had broken the asset discloser law and he awarded her ex-husband with every penny

from her winnings.

You know what they say, Karama can be a bitch.

Next up in at number 7 we have Vivian Nicholson.

She won about 150,000 pounds back in 1961 which is the equivalent to about $3.5 million

dollars today.

She famously said that she was going to "Spend, spend, spend her money.

And that's exactly what she did.

She bought expensive designer dresses, lavish vacations and a new car every six month.

By the 1970s she was completely broke.

But in 1998 she received money from a musical that was about her life.

Well, as you probably guessed it, she spent all of that money too.

The gambler rolls the dice in at number 6.

Back in the mid 80's Evelyn Adams defied all of the odds by winning the lottery twice

- once in 1985 and again in 1986.

She won $5.4 million dollars but she also had a gambling addicting.

Oh and did I mention she lived in Atlantic city which is a miniature version of Las Vegas.

So, as you probably guessed, it didn't take her long to lose all of her money.

Where is she now?

She now lives in a trailer park and is completely broke.

Next up in at number 5 is a Big spender.

Sharon Tirabassi won $10.5 million dollars in 2004 and she spent her money very fast.

She would treat her friends to vacations to Cancun, Las Vegas, California, Florida and

the Caribbean.

She got married and bought a house for half a million dollars but instead of paying cash

for it, she took out a mortgage for $360,000.

The spending spree continued and she bought numerous cars including one that cost her

over $200,000 and she gave millions away to family and friends.

Three years later, all of her money was gone.

By 2008, her husband was arrested for a DUI and she lost their home because she couldn't

afford it.

Now to pay the rent and support her family, she is working part time and is riding the

bus because she no longer has her expensive cars.

Mansion to Slaughterhouse butchers its way into number 4.

At the age of 19 Michael Carroll was working as a garbage man in England when he won about

$14.4 million dollars in the lottery.

Michael literally blew all of his cash on a mansion, drugs, gold jewelry and hookers.

Apparently, he would smoke more than $3,000 worth of crack cocaine a day and he would

throw indulgent parties pretty regularly.

Well the party is over because now he has no money and he is working at a slaughterhouse

barely getting by.

The man who lost it all comes in at number 3.

Willie Hurt was a family man living in Michigan when he won the 1989 lottery jackpot.

He won $3.1 million dollars and he opted to collect annual installments of $156,000.

Well by the time he had received his second annual installment, he was already in the

process of a divorce, lost custody of his children and he had spent most of his winnings

on crack cocaine.

Things got even worse, after he spent 48 house binging on drugs and alcohol.

He had a huge fight with his girlfriend and she was later found with a gunshot to her

head.

He was charged with murder and could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Number 2 Too much partying.

Back in 1998, Gerald Muswagon won $10 million dollars in a Manitoba draw in Canada.

He spent a large chunk of his winnings on expensive cars for his friends and family

and he converted his new home into a "party pad."

Eventually he had spent all of his money and he was forced to take a minimum wage job in

order to support his six children and girlfriend.

Sadly, in 2005 just seven years after his huge win, he took his own life because he

was broke.

In at our number 1 spot, we have a Tragic story.

Billy Bob Harrell Jr. was working as a stock boy at home depot when he hit it big and won

the $31 million jackpot back in 1997.

At first, he was living a really lavish lifestyle.

He bought a ranch, six other homes and some new cars.

So basically, like many other lottery winners, he wasn't able to say no when people would

ask him for a handout or whenever he saw an expensive looking car.

Later on in life he divorced his wife and he eventually committed suicide because the

stress of losing his money was too much for him to bear.

Well there you guys have it

The Shady Side of Bill Belichick - Duration: 5:40.

Most professional coaches fall into one of two main categories.

There are the victory-minded strategists, and then there are the high-strung guys, the

ones who yell and scream and take their jobs way too seriously.

And then there's Bill Belichick.

The longtime New England Patriots head coach must be doing something right — he's guided

his team to eight Super Bowls since taking the reins in 2000 — but he's also a hard

nut to crack.

"...you stupid thing."

The guy rarely smiles and keeps a low profile, for good reason.

Let's shed some light on some of the darker aspects of Belichick's life.

Jet for a day

New York Jets fans probably harbor a special kind of animosity for Belichick.

Not only have the Patriots beat the Jets to win the AFC East 15 times in the Belichick

era, but there was a time when Belichick could have been leading the Jets to those victories.

In early 2000, Bill Parcells resigned as head coach of the Jets, but he had plans in place

for assistant coach Belichick to take over.

According to CBS Sports, Belichick was announced as the Jets' new coach, then suddenly resigned

a day later.

He reportedly wrote his letter of resignation on a napkin, and said at the press conference:

"I've been in situations … where I was the head coach of a team in transition.

Frankly, it wasn't a really good experience for me or for them."

Code breaker

Belichick's rivalry with the New York Jets flared up again during a Jets-Patriots game

in September 2007, when NFL security caught a man recording the Jets' sidelines with a

video camera.

The NFL determined that he was taping the Jets' defensive coaches to decode their signals.

It would have been a good strategy...if it wasn't flagrant cheating.

"The New England Patriots caught videotaping a rival team's coaches as they sent signals

to their players."

The NFL fined Belichick the league-maximum penalty of $500,000 and took away one of the

team's future first-round draft picks.

Mind games

Belichick will do a lot for a win, especially if it's in a game against those pesky New

York Jets.

According to a source for ESPN, Belichick had thermometers placed in the tunnel from

which the Jets would emerge in December 2017.

Why?

Psychological warfare.

The Patriots historically play well in frigid temperatures, and Belichick reportedly wanted

to psych out Jets players by reminding them exactly how cold it was.

Deflategate

The results of the AFC Championship Game in 2015 weren't necessarily shocking.

The New England Patriots easily defeated the Indianapolis Colts 45 to 7, but something

was amiss.

The NFL launched an investigation to determine if the Patriots had intentionally underinflated

the footballs used during the championship game to make them easier to throw.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady denied doing anything wrong, although when league officials

examined the 12 game balls controlled by the Patriots, 11 of them were significantly softer

than they should have been.

The NFL suspended Brady for four games, along with two equipment managers believed to have

done the actual deflating, and docked the team $1 million.

Belichick denied any connection with "Deflategate" and was never punished for any wrongdoing.

"I had no knowledge whatsoever of this situation until Monday morning."

Still, many have questioned how something so significant could happen without the coach

not knowing about it, particularly one who'd been caught cheating before.

Trauma interference

Sure, watching grown men chase a ball and slam into each other can be fun, but the revelations

about CTE make the sport increasingly controversial for everyone involved.

CTE is a medical condition caused by repetitive brain trauma, including the kind of trauma

a player might endure playing football.

When a reporter asked Belichick what the Patriots do to protect players against CTE, the coach

dodged the question completely.

"First of all, I'm not really familiar with whatever it is you're referring to, whatever

this thing is.

But it doesn't make any difference."

Even after Tom Brady's wife reported that Brady had suffered multiple concussions, Belichick

simply told reporters that his team files injury reports "in compliance with league

guidelines" and that head trauma is "what we have medical staff for."

Instant replay

Despite his steely demeanor, Belichick has opened his heart on more than one occasion.

In 1977, he married Debby Clarke.

Their partnership lasted over two decades until they separated in 2004 and divorced

in 2006.

But Belichick didn't stay single for long.

In 2007, Belichick was seen spending time with Linda Holliday, a boutique owner and

television "lifestyle correspondent" he reportedly met at a Florida nightclub.

She's also a solid decade younger than Belichick.

Though Belichick is usually quiet about his personal life, Holliday is quite active on

Twitter and Instagram, and she frequently posts pictures of herself and her dude having

a good time.

How good?

Holliday can actually get Belichick to smile.

Sugar daddy

Somewhere in the midst of his crumbling marriage to Clarke and budding relationship with Holliday,

Belichick reportedly had another flame.

According to the New York Post, court documents in a divorce case between Vincent and Sharon

Shenocca revealed that Belichick had been sending Sharon envelopes of cash on a regular

basis.

He also supposedly bought her a fancy Brooklyn townhouse, paid for her summer rental on the

Jersey Shore, sent her to Disney World on a private jet, and provided her with about

$3,000 a month.

Among the things Sharon supposedly purchased with Belichick's money were New York Giants

tickets — as in the football team that defeated the Patriots in the 2008 Super Bowl.

Who's the shady one now?

Intellectual Property: A First Principles Debate [POLICYbrief] - Duration: 5:32.

Intellectual property, or IP, are rights that are granted by the government to encourage

innovation and creativity.

The term was originated to come up with a defense of certain types of monopoly privileges,

primarily patent and copyright law, which had existed for a few centuries in the West.

Intellectual property is not property in the same sense as normal property rights because

normal property rights are designed to protect scarce resources, things in the world that

we can have a conflict over.

This includes our bodies and other resources in the world, tangible material objects.

Property rights arise as a social mechanism to allow us to use these resources cooperatively,

and peacefully, and productively with each other, but intellectual property covers ideas

and non-scarce resources, patterns which can be infinitely copied and multiplied.

One of the benefits of- of having property is the ability to keep other people out.

I can let people that I don't want to come to my house know that they can't be there.

And patents and copyright provide the same sort of, uh, what's known as exclusive rights

that private property does that- that you can say, "You can't trespass on my invention

and you can't copy my- my new creative work."

So, the difficulty when we look at intellectual property as property is: how do we know where

the boundaries are?

But as far as what are our rights, the idea that we can keep people out, that's exactly

like physical property.

Legally, the proper way to understand intellectual property rights is a- a negative servitude

or a negative easement.

And if you understand what a negative easement is, it gives the holder of the easement a

right to prevent the owner of the existing property to use it the way he sees fit.

And these are perfectly legitimate if they're granted voluntarily like in a restrictive

covenant in our neighborhood.

But in patent and copyright, the government grants these monopoly privileges to holders

of- of these ideal rights and it allows them to stop other people from using their bodies

or their other property as they see fit.

There's a number of philosophical justifications for intellectual property, but one of the

clear ones is- is John Locke's principle.

The idea that if you put your effort and mix it with, uh, nature, you should get property

rights in the resulting object.

Uh, if- if you take a tree and turn it into a barrel, the barrel should be yours.

And that's the same idea with intellectual property.

One of the things intellectual property does is it allows you to get exclusive rights on

what you invent.

And with those exclusive rights, you can either keep other people from doing it and manufacture

the- the invention yourself or you can license it to a patent licensing firm.

The inventor, who has spent a lot of time and money in the uncertain activity of inventing,

can recoup some of those costs and some of those expenses.

So, the question is not whether a given policy or law incentivizes innovation.

The purpose of law is to protect property rights.

Like, we have to recognize that in today's world, even though we have copyright law,

piracy is rampant.

In today's 2017, artists have to deal with the fact of copyright and piracy.

And, uh, they have to come up with business models to work around that.

So, but then the question is: the absent patent and copyright law, what protections, uh, would

they have?

Well, first of all, they have property rights, like we all do; they have the right to own

their own studio, or their own printing press, or their own machine shop and make inventions;

they have the right to engage in commerce and sell their goods.

You can sell tickets at a concert, you can sell a CD if you want to.

There's nothing prohibiting you from selling a CD just because you don't have a copyright.

It's just that other people could sell a copy of it, too.

So, you have competition.

There are a number of things that are happening right now that are causing uncertainty in

the patent system, devaluing patents, and decreasing the public's confidence in the

patent system as a whole.

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board is getting rid of lots of patents, invalidating lots

of patents, and a number of these patents are on really great, innovative technology.

So, what I would do to reinvigorate the patent system is change the way that bad patents

can be invalidated by making it more certain and less harassing for innovators and patent

owners.

So, the primary reforms I would make would be to patent and copyright and the primary

reform would be to immediately and, uh, completely abolish both patent and copyright law.

I think we would instantly be way better off in terms of innovation and freedom.

Just because something's been in place for 200 years or so doesn't mean it's just.

When people copy, they're learning, and they're emulating what people do.

We have to not be afraid of competition.

We have to embrace private property rights and- and we have to understand that state-granted

rights to protect you from a competitor are the opposite of a free market, and they undercut

private property rights.

With patent rights, what we've gotten is a ton of innovation over the last number of centuries,

great inventions, fantastic inventors that are worthy of being protected and we're

all enjoying the results of this activity.

If we don't have this strong patent system that has allowed for this level of innovation

going forward, we might get less innovation and a lot less cool toys to play with.
