JUDY WOODRUFF: Now: a new national voice for poetry.

In a tradition dating back to 1937, the Library of Congress selects a prominent writer to

serve as the country's poet laureate for terms that have ranged from one to three years.

The goal, according to the library, to raise the national consciousness to a greater appreciation

of the reading and writing of poetry.

The new laureate was revealed today, and our Jeffrey Brown had a chance to talk with her

earlier this week.

JEFFREY BROWN: Empathy and self-awareness through language, that is the creed that comes

through in talking with 45 year old Tracy K. Smith, writer, teacher, spouse and mother

of three, including 4-year-old twins, and now taking on a very public role as the nation's

poet laureate.

TRACY K. SMITH,�MD-BO� U.S. Poet Laureate: This is a position that allows me to kind

of profess publicly all that I really hold true privately, that, if we can listen actively

enough, if we can put enough pressure on ourselves and our thought process, language can be a

real tool of revelation.

I love being able to do that with my students and my little seminars.

And I love the idea that maybe there's a way that this position allows me to do that with

my fellow Americans.

JEFFREY BROWN: Smith is author of three books of poetry, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning

"Life on Mars," in part an elegy for her father, who served in the Air Force before leaving

to work on the Hubble telescope.

In her 2015 memoir titled "Ordinary Light," she writes of growing up in a tight-knit middle-class

family in Northern California, a coming-of-age tale exploring love and loss, race and faith,

a theme that suffuses her poetry.

TRACY K. SMITH: I wasn't even aware that that's what I was doing until after my last book

of poems came out, and I realized, wow, there's a -- these poems are thinking about space,

but they're also searching for God, in a way.

And I think it comes back to that sense that I grew up with that there is something large

that we can cleave to, if we choose to.

I wanted to figure out if there was a way that the artist in me and the 21st century

academic in me could find something like a plausible version of God or a plausible version

of the afterlife that I would be willing to claim publicly.

And I think that language facilitated that.

JEFFREY BROWN: Another big area that you're often exploring is race.

And, in your memoir, you talk explicitly about sort of comparing your upbringing to your

parents and your grandparents, the differences there, but also things that have remained.

TRACY K. SMITH: A lot of my awareness of how race had imprinted by my parents, who grew

up in the segregated South, a lot of that was shaped by a sense of sadness and a sense

of anxiety on my part that made me not want to talk about it.

So, there were a lot of silences that I was drawn to explore in writing about that time

that I had never felt capable of bringing into speech when I was growing up.

As I get older, I realize the history that felt so ancient when I was growing up is so

-- so close to us and present in ways that I had never imagined, or didn't want to let

myself imagine when I was a child.

So, writing about it, I think, is a way of reckoning with what is yet to be resolved

about the present moment, about how we are willing to love each other, even though we

look different from one another.

JEFFREY BROWN: Smith has been a professor at Princeton since 2005 and now heads its

creative writing program, teaching small seminars to young poets in the making.

Here especially, she says, the emphasis is on how we use language.

TRACY K. SMITH: Yes, this is our library and one of our favorite classrooms.

I want them to start thinking that a poem isn't just an expression of all these things

that you're feeling, but it's a set of choices that you're making in language.

So, every description, every question, every statement, every turn is a choice that opens

up or closes off certain possibilities.

And you don't always think about that when you're sitting down to write in the flush

of emotion.

But thinking about...

JEFFREY BROWN: I mean, the feelings are part of it, right?

TRACY K. SMITH: The feelings are part of it.

JEFFREY BROWN: And the expression is part of it.

But you're saying the language choices...

TRACY K. SMITH: Beyond that, yes, the language can help you get some traction in those feelings.

"One of the women greeted me.

'I love you,' she said.

She didn't know me, but I believed her, and a terrible new ache rolled over in my chest."

JEFFREY BROWN: To hear some of her language, Smith read part of a new poem titled "Wade

in the Water."

TRACY K. SMITH: "I love you throughout the performance in every hand clap, every stomp.

I love you in the rusted iron chains someone was made to drag until love let them be unclasped

and left empty in the center of the ring."

JEFFREY BROWN: Now Tracy K. Smith will have a prominent voice, a very public national

platform, to reach new audiences.

If you think about the tumultuous times we're in technologically, all kinds of changes around

us, if you think about the divisions politically at this moment, it seems like an appropriate

moment to say, why poetry?

Why bother?

Why bother being a poet?

What kind of impact could you possibly have, amidst all that?

TRACY K. SMITH: Mm-hmm.

I will say that a poem allows or requires you to submit to something else.

Often...

JEFFREY BROWN: Submit means?

TRACY K. SMITH: That's one of the things we don't want to do, to say, OK, I'm not the

expert.

You're the expert.

Let me listen.

Let me respond to something that's completely counterintuitive for me, that pulls me toward

a different sense of what's valuable.

I think, when we do that with a work of art, we're learning how to do that in real time

with other people.

JEFFREY BROWN: Does that mean even making us better citizens?

TRACY K. SMITH: I think so.

Poems remind us of that.

Poems remind us that someone is saying, come here.

This has happened to me.

This is how it made me feel.

This is who I am in the wake of this thing.

And we all have stories like that.

And they're important to honor, and they're important also to say, maybe my story helps

me listen and cherish this other person's story, too.

JEFFREY BROWN: Smith says a key goal for her as laureate will be to bring poetry into places

where it's not often heard.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Jeffrey Brown in Princeton, New Jersey.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And, online, you can watch Tracy K. Smith read two new poems.

Madison, Indiana, World War II: "The Town" 1945 Josef von Sternberg; US Office of War Information - Duration: 11:25.

♫ (Music) ♫

Here is a town, it lies on the banks of a quiet river,

but where would you say it is?

Is it somewhere in France? Or is it a village on the Thames?

Are these the waters of the Danube? Or the Volga?

Is it a village in Norway? Or is it in Czechoslovakia?

Does this walk lead to the shores of a blue Austrian lake?

Where is this town, where you can find an old English tower...

An Italian campanile... down the street a Gothic doorway...

Where slate roofs look down on the columns of Ancient Greece?

And where you'll find a Renaissance fountain at one end of town...

And at the other a Roman temple?

As you may have guessed, this is a town in the United States of America.

This English tower guards a fraternal hall and a furniture store.

And in the Italian campanile hang the bells that send the fire department on its way.

While the Greek columns are part of the commercial life.

????, host to the children on a hot afternoon.

The United States was created by men who came from the four corners of the Earth.

John Petrakis, the confectioner, can still

remember the city in Greece, where he was born.

Johnny Maguire (sp) works on the newspaper. His grandfather came from Ireland.

The Dutch have been here since the 17th

century. Mr. G???, a descendent, is county agent for the farmers.

Mr. V??? arrived from Germany more than half a century ago.

But his friend, Mrs. Antel, was born here, and hasn't left the place in all her 82 years.

Young Catilo's (??) been here all his life, too.

But he shares his taste for Italian food with the rest of the family.

The name of that town is: Madison. It lies on the

Ohio River, in the midwestern state of Indiana.

It was named after James Madison, fourth President of the United States, who is known

as the Father of the American Constitution.

Like thousands of similar communities, Madison draws its life from the fields and farms that

surround it.

On Saturday morning, the farmer's wife brings the eggs from the hen house.

The farm truck is loaded. For here, as it is in many other lands, Saturday is market day.

Around the court house, they've been holding an open market every Saturday for the

past hundred years.

This farmer, Mr. Fighter (??), stands by a scale as his forefathers stood in a market

square in Central Europe. In Madison, buying a

bag of tomatoes still remains a highly personal affair.

Main Street. The heart of every American town.

It was laid out in the days of the covered wagon.

As part of a highway which runs from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

There is plenty of room here. Room for the individual to expand.

To plan for himself and his children. Room for initiative and enterprise.

♫ Carousel music ♫

At night, Main Street becomes a meeting place for farmers and townspeople.

The most popular place in every American town is the corner drugstore.

It's the American equivalent of a pub, or café, or rathskeller.

And of course, on Saturday night, the school orchestra gives its concert.

(mix of music being played, by orchestra)

Sunday, the day for worship.

The people who came from all over the world brought their churches with them.

All faiths have found a place here.

No one interferes with the others' journey to heaven or to hell.

Now, here's a fellow who thinks he's not going to one destination or the other.

He's going fishing. And though his boy prefers

church this Sunday morning, there's little time wasted in argument.

Monday means work again. And school.

It is free to all the children of the community.

And compulsory. To each is given an equal opportunity to learn.

Part of the course is the history of man's

struggle to govern himself. His defeats. And such

great victories as Magna Carta, the French Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence.

And the children are taught other languages, to

equip them to become better citizens of the world.

Here sit the mayor, the councilman, and the voters of the next generation.

When the time comes, they will know how to live together as well as today

they play together. In towns such as these, a great part of the

community budget is devoted to the children.

The chief interest is in human beings.

The games children play may not be the same in different parts of the world,

but the spirit of childhood is universal and unchanging.

The end of schooling is not the end of learning.

In the public library the accumulated knowledge of the ages is

available to all.

♫ Fun, spirited music ♫

Sooner or later, everyone comes to the library.

Here can be found old ideas and new. To be read and argued about.

For the most flourishing trade in this town is the traffic in opinions,

and that's been the business of the town's newspaper for

over a century. Today it disagrees on many domestic issues with the

current administration in Washington, and speaks its mind.

A reader writes in to attack the paper's policy.

And that's printed, too. The presses roll. And this respect for the

other man's point of view is reflected in the way the town

governs itself.

This is the mayor. The people hire him and the people fire him.

He's their servant and he's proud of that honor.

And if there's trouble, it's settled at a public trial...

in the sight and presence of the people.

His majesty, the common man. It is he who elects the judge.

It is he who elects the public prosecutor.

The laws of trial by jury as they originated in England

are carried out in this court. These twelve men and women, peers of the defendant,

were called from their everyday interest to serve.

They accept this as one of the obligations of self-government.

The judge smiles. He and the prosecutor are now

serving the community together. Yet, he remembers

that political campaign when the same prosecutor said

some pretty strong things against the judge.

He even said he wasn't fit for office. But the people had the last word when election came around.

They were all there to cast their votes as they saw fit.

The man who runs the drugstore and the lady who makes the hats.

The farmer and the prosecuting attorney himself.

In free countries, the only thing that's secret is the ballot.

This is the town. And these are its people.

People whose fathers brought to the banks of a river

in the new world the culture and heritage of the old.

Who now, have sent their sons back across the seas

to join the sons of all the peoples who fight for freedom.

To make this town, and all towns like it, wherever they may be...

free and and secure forever.

Afghanistan Vimana found in Afghanistan Cave, 8 US Soldiers Disappear 5000 year old Vimana movie UFO - Duration: 7:26.

The Vimana is an ancient Hindu flying machine like a floating fortress, comparable to a

modern jet fighter with a complement of missiles and a heat-ray which will dissolve anything it touches.

Once known only by its description in the sacred Sanskrit text of the Vedas, a well-preserved

Vimana was recently unearthed in Afghanistan and its power core was found to be active

even after being buried for thousands of years.

Several leaders of the western world visited in December of 2010 the same isolated Afghan

village... including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy,

British Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama.

The real reason for the synchronized visits of several heads of state would never have

been revealed but for one rare leak from a Russian internal government report, which

exposed the archeological discovery made accidentally by the US military.

The caves that riddle Afghanistan range from small man-made dugouts to vast natural underground

labyrinths.

Following any major offensive by US troops on the ground, the job is not done until the

caves are cleared out.

After the battle it is uncommon to find live enemy combatants remaining behind in the area,

including stragglers in caves.

However the cavern networks must still be cleared of abandoned military equipment.

In one such cavern in a remote arm of the Islamic Republic US Army troops were sent

in to "mop up" an enemy bunker.

They discovered no ordinance.

Instead they found a collection of ancient tablets inscribed with Hindu script, including

one which they called the "treasure map".

This map led them further down a large branch of the cave where they found an enormous vehicle

half-buried in the wall.

The tablets were submitted for translation to Sanskrit expert Dr. Ruth Reyna at University

of Chandrigarh in the Punjab of India.

One tablet made reference to the vehicle.

The Vimana was five thousand years old.

The flying machine had been the property of the great prophet Zoroaster, also known as

Zarathustra.

Because his teachings covered heaven and hell, free will and the concept of a messiah, the

beliefs of Zoroaster are now considered the foundation of three later religions...

Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

After the discovery of the Vimana the American troops were commanded to free the craft by

digging into the wall surrounding it.

They met immediately with two defense mechanisms incorporated into the ship.

The surface of the metal hull was exceptionally cool to the touch.

Soldiers were ordered to wear double-layer cold weather gloves after several men contracted

frostbite from brushing against the hull.

The wall consisted only of sedimentary rock sandstone and should have been easy to excavate

but neither shovel nor pick could make a dent in the sediment.

The Vimana was generating an invisible force field protecting itself against extraction.

This meant that after after five millenia the machine was still under power.

Its force field was the phenomena once described by Albert Einstein as a "time well", which

in additon to protecting the vehicle from tampering also held it in stasis and prevented

it from aging.

The US government coveted the secret of the Vimana's perpetual power source.

A warning contained in the ancient tablets was ignored, a warning against meddling with

its resting place.

For this mistake eight soldiers would suffer the ultimate consequence.

The plan was to attack the integrity of the exposed hull with a special drill.

This attempt by the second squad of Bravo Company activated the third defense mechanism

of the vessel.

In a matter of seconds, one by one, members of the squad began to wink out of existence.

A total of eight servicemen went missing in action.

Only the operator of the work lights, who quickly abandoned his post, would live to tell the tale.

Tillerson North Korea Releases US citizen Otto Warmbier

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says that North Korea has released

Otto Warmbier, an American serving a 15-year prison term with hard labor for alleged anti-state

acts.

Tillerson says that Warmbier is on his way back to the U.S. to be re-united with his

family.

He says in a statement that the State Department secured Warmbier's release at the direction

of President Donald Trump.

Tillerson says the State Department continues discussing three other detained Americans

with North Korea.

The announcement comes as former NBA player Dennis Rodman is paying a return visit to

North Korea.

Warmbier is a University of Virginia student from suburban Cincinnati.

He was sentenced in March 2016 after a televised tearful public confession to trying to steal

a propaganda banner.

Recent Reads // Allegedly, One of Us is Lying, The Rest of Us Just Live Here, etc! [CC] - Duration: 15:21.

Hello everybody, so today I wanted to talk about some of the books that I read in the

month of April. Forgive me if I sound ill. A lot of what I read this month was

actually listening. I listened to a lot of audiobooks. I was traveling a bit and

so what I was traveling it was easy to have my headphones in and listen to some

books, so that the first few books are all audiobooks that I read while I was in

Norway. the first one I actually finished up I think I technically finished this

is the end of March but I had already filmed my March video and that is Simon

vs. the Homo sapiens agenda by becky albertalli. I'm sure you've heard so so

much about the story. it's actually being made into a film which is really amazing.

I really enjoyed it. I do think it read a bit more like middle grade to me

personally rather than young adult, maybe it was just like on the younger side of

young adult, I think that's what it was so I didn't feel like I personally

connected to a lot of characters because it did feel so much younger than me, but I

do feel like this is such a keystone in what young adult literature will be for

this kind of next generation of young adults. if you don't actually know it's

about it is the story of a boy who is gay, who is not fully out to most of the

people in his life and so he- it's the story of him kind of coming out as well

as his little romance, his crush on this boy he's emailing and the only

conversations they have are via email and it's someone in his school but he doesn't know who it is

and then you kind of find out who that is. It's coming-of-age type of story. it's

really really sweet. it was really great I'm really happy I read it. The second book

I read was the Female of the Species by Mandy McGinnis I've heard a lot about

this book about how important it is in terms of confronting rape culture

stereotypes and feminism and things like that. I've heard it's really really

powerful, really dark. it's hard to explain I didn't really know much about

the plot going into it but just briefly I guess it's the story of a girl who is

murdered-- raped and murdered and it follows her sister, a girl who her sister

works with and then also another guy in their school. it really doesn't shy away

from the darkness. it really is a deconstruction of rape culture in modern

society especially in places like high schools, in small towns especially.

However, I did not really get invested in these characters and maybe this is a

function of the audiobook and not liking the narrator's but I don't think

that's what it was. I don't believe that you should- you should rate books on how

you felt about the audiobook but I just overall I didn't really connect with

these people. I mean part of that was just the nature of their personalities.

one of the one of the main narrators was a very closed off personality because of

what happened to her sister and just her personality type but all of them really.

the story is really interesting, important, it's really dark, it's really

different. it was something very different from what I've read, but

ultimately I just did not really connect and maybe I'm heartless who knows but I

do think it's important to read if that something that you find interesting. I

would be very wary as I into this if you're cautious around, you know, rape

sexual assult, violence in general, things like that. It's a very dark, heavy

book but yeah important, didn't connect. overall that's my summary. Next step is

a book that I find really important, that I do have a lot of issues with, so we're

going to talk about that and that is Allegedly by Tiffany D Jackson. Allegedly

it's the story of sixteen year old Mary who has spent the last two years living in

baby jail and now a group home because she was responsible for killing an

infant. Allegedly. It becomes a sort of race against the clock to get the

charges revoked and to get Mary's name cleared after she becomes pregnant and

also because she wants to take the SATs and go to college, so she's trying to get

her life together and in order, to do that she has to prove that she did not

murder this infant. This is Jackson's first novel and it

really did not feel like a first novel, it was very well written. the fear and

reality these young people face of either being incarcerated for life or

branded for life based on small mistakes they made throughout their youth, it's a

really incredible look at the juvenile justice system especially with regards

to children of color and from what I've read it is a really like painfully accurate

description of it, which is unfortunate because it's quite awful. There were a

few things, however, that made me very uncomfortable with this book, especially

the writing. The first was the amount of fatphobia in this book, oh my god. I

know that Mary is 16 and 16 year-olds think and say awful things, but the

amount of body shaming that took place in this novel I found really

unnecessary and like it just got to the point where I was like, I get it, you are

shaming this woman. It's awful. additionally the worst part of the story

for me with the villainization of mental illness. A couple characters in

the story do suffer from mental illness, it's very clear that they do, and it's

even mentioned, I think, I believe, that they do suffer from specific mental

illnesses and they are the only two like- they're the two biggest villains in the

story, essentially. They are volatile, dangerous characters and it's- it's

really unfortunate that that's the only depiction of it you really get

throughout the story. Also it may be obvious based on the plot of the story, but there are

depictions of violence and violence against children specifically and it's mentioned

quite graphically so if that's something that you're uncomfortable with or unable

to read I guess because I think we're all uncomfortable with it but just avoid

it. Overall I think this is a really important story that needed to be told

in a way, especially in a year alongside The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, i think

that they are really important stories and new voices to be heard and i do want

to hear more from Tiffany Jackson, I will read more in the future, but overall

those the fatphobia and the depiction of mental illness really kind of send it

back for me. I think it was unnecessary to the story to a certain extent, some

parts- elements of it I understand but yeah overall it's just a little little

much for me. Oh and I also want to say that it was narrated by Bahni Turpin,

who is one of my favorite audiobook narrators ever, so if you are looking for

an audiobook, she also narrates The Hate U Give and I think both of Nicola Yoon's books.

I just really like her. The next book I read was The Smell of Other People's

Houses by Bonnie Sue Hitchcock. I picked this up last year, I was really

excited about it because it's set in Alaska in 1970 which is something I had-

I'd never read anything set in Alaska in 1970s. it's a multi narrative story told

from the perspective of four different characters, which is shocking this quite

a short novel I think it was like yeah 250 pages,

roughly, so four different stories tied in here and it shows how they all sort

of tied together. I did think elements of the story were really quite sweet,

especially the character of Jack who was my favorite character ever, so sweet. I

haven't run anything about Alaskan natives so I'm not sure how accurate the

depiction was but I'd be interested to learn more about that. overall, the

story didn't leave me entirely invested. I know that I was supposed to care about

all of these individual characters and I didn't find that I did, maybe it was

because of the length or I'm not sure if it was her writing or what, but I did

really like certain elements of the store. there was a little bit of magical

realism, I believe at least I read it as magical realism, I thought was really

interesting and they talked about orca whales and I love orca whales. just-just

a bit, enough to get them tattooed on my body forever. yeah, ultimately, it's not a

favorite book for me or anything like that but it was quite sweet. The next

book I read was Autumn by Ali Smith and I got this book from Penguin last year

and I should have read it in autumn because I think that would have really added to

the tone of the book, but I read it in spring, alas. Autumn is the nonlinear

story of 30-something Elizabeth and her old babysitter and now mentor Daniel.

it's a nonlinear story in the way that it bounces between when they first met,

when she was quite young and he was even I think he was even in the 70s when they

first met so he was quite old and she was a child and it bounces between when

they first met and present day. the relationship Daniel and Elizabeth have is

really really sweet. Daniel has sort of honed Elizabeth's love of what they call

arty art, basically high art you know um art history, things like that. He

encouraged her become an art history professor, which is where we pick up at

the start of novel, with her as an art history professor. He also encourages her

to be a citizen of the world, not just a citizen of this small tiny village that

she's grown up in. Autumn, like I believe a lot of Ali Smith's work is very

British. Autumn is set in a small English village right around the time of the EU

referendum and so it references a lot of pre and post brexit feelings and attitudes

and opinions and things like that, which I do think can

translate into other politics, as well, but it is quite British in that way. I

really think it's interesting because books cannot exist in a vacuum and I

think a lot of authors stray away from really timely subjects like Brexit or

something like that and I love that she references modern issues and modern

conversations and I don't think that because of that, this won't age. I think

that this will, I mean, it's timely but I do think it will age well and be

something that people read for a long time to have it resonate. I think a lot

of Autumn is, is an underlying discussion of race as well

as a sort of obsession with nostalgia and fear of change as a whole.

Elizabeth is grappling a lot with identity, both in who she is, having lived in the

same village her whole life, and living the same flat for the last decade. she's

trying to decide how much her identity has changed, if it has changed at all and

kind of who she is. But also in quite a physical manifestation of the grappling

with identity is the issue where she's trying to get a new passport photo taken

and her passport photo not being acknowledged as good enough for a

passport. as well as trying to use that passport as an identification to get in

see Daniel and it not being acknowledged because it's out of date, it's um

expired so they won't let her in because of that. I really like the atmosphere set

in this novel, it's much like autumn, it's really kind of tranquil and

transitionary which I found very visceral. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I did

not study English literature or philosophy or anything like that, so I do

sometimes feel like a lot of literary fiction, it challenges me, which I

appreciate but it also has a way of leaving me feeling like I'm a bit behind.

that being said, I did really really love this book, I think it's something that I

will think about for a really long time. one thing I will say that maybe it's

because of the poetic nature of the writing, but the typeface isn't justified

in this. I don't know if that's something that bothers you it bothers me. The next

book I read is One of Us is Lying by Karen M McManus. this is not the

original cover or not the actual cover it comes out the 1st of June at least in

the UK and it will have a different cover, but this is marketed as being a

mix between the Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars. And if you know

anything about me, you probably know that I love Pretty Little Liars.

Don't love the breakfast club, but love pretty little liars. the show, not

the books, let's not talk about the books. So I was quite excited about this. I thought

it'd be quite fun, a kind of whodunit sort of story. it takes place, or the

narratives are the brain, the beauty, the bad boy, and the jock and then they're all

at detention at the same time and kind of the outcast ends up murdered and so it

follows who-who killed him, it had to be someone in that room because it happened

in that room. Honestly, did not like this book.

All of the side characters were the worst tropes, like they were not-- the

characterization his book was not well done, in my opinion. you had the

overbearing parents who don't really seemed to care much about the child's feelings, the

awful manipulative boyfriend who, other than his looks, doesn't really seem that anything going

for him and yet somehow he has loads of friends and everyone loves him and the

girl dated him for years and didn't recognize this until they break up, the

clingy girlfriend he tries to make everything about herself and then the

second they break up she has a new boyfriend, like these people are not real people.

one of the worst things about the story is a lot of the horrible behaviors and

horrible things people say is not directly called out. it's implied

the narrators disagree and think that these characters are bad but like the

individual comments they make are not acknowledged and it really bothered me.

so it depicts a lot of these toxic relationships, both family and like

romantic relationships and friendships even, but does it call out the reasons

they're toxic. they're just like that guy's bad he doesn't make you feel good,

you should get away from him, it's like, no this is why and these are the signs

and like ugh. "It's like my mother said when she first took me to get birth

control, if you say no too much, pretty soon someone else will say yes."

Like, what? Like it's acknowledged that the mom is not a good mom, but like those

little things are things that people might internalize and just like have

kind of in the back in their head and I don't know I just I don't think it was

done well. I don't know if that was just my take on it I didn't like this story

unfortunately. Comes out next month, other reviewers seem to love it, like it

has very good reviews, I'm an outlier here, but that was my personal take on

One of Us Is Lying. Sorry. I also, like, did not believe the like who actually did it.

I didn't believe it. I don't think it was done well. The next book was an audiobook

that I listened to and its Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older. This is another book

that I really liked it and I know it would have really loved it when I was

younger. it was really a-- and I've seen this like as a marketing pitch for it,

but I also this is just the only thing I really felt about it, this is a kind of a

Caribbean Cassandra Clare, so it felt a lot like

City of Bones, and not just because like Shadowshapers/Shadowhunters, but it felt

like that way that you fall into the story, very exciting and I liked that I

think if I were younger, I would loved these stories because they felt a lot

like Clary finding out about the shadow world but it's instead of much more

diverse cast with a lot more interesting cultural aspects. I really liked how the

main character called out her own internalized racism, as well as like the

racism of her family and there were a lot of interesting elements to it. It's a

story of a girl who finds out that she's a part of a family that can kind of like,

shape souls? it's an urban fantasy, the girl finds out that she has this power

in her family to draw pictures of people and like brings their souls back to life.

Kind of, basically. Really interesting stuff. I like I'm not sure how accurate

is that the kind of Caribbean culture side of it, very interesting. And the

final book I have to talk about today is The Rest of Us Just Live Here by

Patrick Ness. Now I've heard some like less than fabulous reviews, as well this

book I really liked it it was the first book that I read in a little while that

I really connected to. if you haven't heard of The Rest of Us Just Live Here,

it's essentially the story of the school where there's the indie kids, who are--

they're basically, they're the chosen ones in chosen one stories, so

they're always off saving the day and then the other guys, those other people

who just live here- the rest of us just live here. so they're just people who go

to the school, who are going through their everyday normal high school

experience, while these other chosen ones are off saving the world and doing all

these remarkable things. it's so clever. the writing was really hilarious. it was

a really brilliant mix of irony and also honesty and authentic and I really

enjoyed the writing. I always loved Patrick Ness is writing, to be honest. I

believe these characters and all their unique relationships and I love that it

wasn't just like pairing everyone off, it was like everyone had different

interesting relationships with one another. I would have looked a bit more

world-building, I want to understand more about how this high school works and how

it works with the different types of people, things like that. I would have

liked more world-building, but on the whole, I really cared about these

characters and I thought it was so funny. I found myself, there was also be parts

intermixed they were kind of-- they read like the beginning of a comic book.

our lead, you know, hero is off to save the day and this is what's going on with the

other people and I don't know. I know I'm not explaining this well. I thought it was

funny, really clever, really great, so check that out. And that's all the books

I have to talk about today. Thanks for watching. I'm going to go before my

camera dies. Have a great day!

U.S. Fed raises benchmark interest rate for third consecutive quarter - Duration: 1:52.

In a widely anticipated move,... the Federal Reserve has announced its second rate hike

of the year,... signaling its confidence in the U.S. economy.

Watchers think the U.S. central bank will raise rates again within this year,... reflecting

the Fed's previous forecast of three rate hikes in 2017.

Kim Hyo-sun reports.

The U.S. Federal Reserve has raised its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point.

Following a two-day meeting,... the Fed announced on Wednesday that the rate hike brings the

target range to one to one-and-a-quarter-percent.

- Reuters 3220 "Today the Federal Open Market Committee decided

to raise the target range for the federal funds rate by one quarter percentage point

bringing it to one to one quarter percent."

The move reflects confidence in the economy,... which the Fed described as great progress,...

including an increased number of jobs and a drop in the unemployment rate.

Although it gave no hint on an additional rate hike this year,... watchers foresee a

similar move in the latter half of the year,... reflecting the Fed's previous forecast.

The Fed also stated it will reduce its securities holdings,... reducing its four-point-two trillion

dollars portfolio of bonds and securities,... most of which were bought during the global

financial crisis.

- Reuters 3220 "Consistent with the principles and plans

we released in 2014, this program would gradually decrease our reinvestments, and initiate a

gradual and largely predictable decline in our securities holdings."

The Fed's second rate hike this year,... now brings the target range for the federal funds

rate on par with Korea's benchmark rate,... which stands at one-point-two-five percent.

South Korea's defense minister says crashed drone was flown by N. Korea to spy on U.S. THAAD system - Duration: 0:52.

South Korea's defense chief says a crashed drone that was discovered last week in the

country's eastern Gangwon-do Province, was a North Korean unmanned aerial vehicle.

Defense minister Han Min-koo said the drone had taken photographs of the U.S. THAAD missile

defense system... before it crashed while appearing to head back north of the border.

Han said the latest North Korean drone appeared to have a greater range compared to the one

previously discovered in 2014, on the border island of Baengnyeong-do in the West Sea.

The National Assembly Intelligence Committee will hold an emergency session this afternoon,

where they will be briefed on the matter by the National Intelligence Service.

NIS Director Seo Hoon will brief lawmakers on what the intelligence body knows so far,

regarding the discovery.

Why does God give us boundaries? // Bayless Conley - Duration: 2:19.

I'm in beautiful Zurich, Switzerland and I just want to share a thought or two with you.

You know when I was a little boy I got mad at my mom and I decided to run away from home.

And so I ran away. I wrote her a little note that she saved.

But she went outside to find me after I ran away and I was sitting on the curb.

And she said, I thought you were going to run away?

And I said, well I did.

She said, well why are you here?

Well, because you won't let me cross the street.

And she had drilled that into me: do not cross the street.

I didn't understand why as a little two and a half year old boy or a three year old boy.

I just thought it was mean for her to say you can´t cross the street.

But she knew that it was dangerous for a little boy, trying to cross the street by himself.

Actually, it could have cost me my life.

I didn't have that concept.

I just thought you´re just mean, you won´t let me cross the street.

You know, Momma was smarter than I was at two and a half, three years old.

You know what, one of the greatest lessons that I have ever learned in my life is that

God is smarter than I am.

And when He has said something is out of bounds, we just need to be wise, and say, okay God,

I´m gonna live within the boundaries that You have set for me and I'm not going to cross

those boundary lines.

Because He knows there's danger out there.

There's things out there that can hurt us.

The whole reason the earth got thrown into chaos and for all of the ramifications of

sin is because Adam and Eve decided to not live within the boundaries that God had set.

They decided, you know what?

We're gonna be like God ourselves, deciding what´s right and wrong.

Who says that I have to live within the border that God set?

I´m gonna determine for myself what's right and what's wrong for me.

Again, one of the best decisions you'll ever make in life is that God is wiser and He´s

smarter than you, and He has your best interest at heart.

So submit your sexuality to Him, submit your finances to Him, submit your family to him

and live life His way, you´ll be blessed if you do.

U.S. congressman in critical condition after mass shooting at Virginia baseball field - Duration: 1:45.

Now a developing story from the U.S...

A mass shooting near Washington, D.C. has left a Republican congressman and four other

people injured, the Congressman critically.

The shooter, who was killed in a gun battle with the police, was known to be highly critical

of President Trump and his allies... frequently taking to social media to vent his frustrations

prior to the shooting.

Yu Joonhee has the latest.

A gunman opened fire early Wednesday morning at a baseball field in Virginia, in the suburbs

of Washington D.C., where a congressional baseball team had gathered to practice ahead

of a charity game.

Armed with a semi-automatic rifle, the shooter fired at and wounded four people, including

Republican congressman and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.

Scalise was shot in the hip, and was taken to a nearby hospital where he remains in critical

condition following surgery.

The gunman was killed by police in the subsequent shootout.

He's been identified by law enforcement as 66-year old James Hodgkinson from the state

of Illinois.

According to witnesses, Hodgkinson asked bystanders whether the players on the field were Republicans

or Democrats before he started shooting.

He was known to be highly critical of President Trump and other Republicans on social media,

and had reportedly traveled to Washington to protest against the administration.

Leaders in Washington have called for solidarity following the shooting, with House Speaker

Paul Ryan saying "an attack on one of us, is an attack on all of us", and declaring

that Congress was united in its response to the attack.

President Trump said he and Vice President Pence were deeply saddened by the attack,

and wished Scalise and the others injured a speedy recovery.

The congressional baseball team had been practicing ahead of their annual charity game that has

been held since 1909.

Members of Congress said the game would still go ahead as planned at Nationals Park in Washington

on Thursday night.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has again called on China to be more active in

pressuring North Korea to curb its nuclear ambitions.

Speaking at a hearing of the Committee on Foreign Affairs on Wednesday, Tillerson said

the Trump administration has asked Beijing to impose measures against several Chinese

entities suspected of doing illicit business with North Korea.

He said China is the "capstone" of an international pressure campaign against Pyongyang.

Tillerson again reiterated that the U.S. will take its own actions if Beijing does not cooperate.

U.S.-China talks on North Korea will take place next week in Washington.

Most of Us Take Calling 911 for Granted. That Needs to Change. - Duration: 1:41.

Most of us take for granted the fact that we can call 9-1-1 if our house is on fire or if we're

having a heart attack. But millions of Americans can't. If you're

deaf have a speech disability or some other condition, you can face

life-threatening barriers to calling 9-1-1. Advocates say there's a really

simple solution to fixing this. We should be able to text 9-1-1.

People with disabilities are guaranteed direct and equal access to 9-1-1 under the

Americans With Disabilities Act. But they're not getting that. Only about a thousand of the nearly

six thousand call centers across the country even accept texts. Part of the

problem is the ADA rules were written in the early 90s and they rely on an

outdated piece of technology. And even after texting became ubiquitous, the

Department of Justice didn't update the rules. The Obama administration was

looking at modernizing them but so far we haven't heard what the Trump

administration is going to do. Change could be forced in the courts though.

Lawsuits have been filed in both New York and Arizona. One of the Arizona

plaintiffs is a deaf man named Julian. When his wife had an emergency he had to

access 9-1-1 through a video relay service. This means he video-called a translator who then

called 9-1-1. Now, most of us can expect to be connected to 9-1-1 within 10 seconds. But if

you're calling through a relay service it usually takes three-to-eight minutes.

And in an emergency situation three-to eight-minutes can be an eternity.

The Reasons Why Trump Won 2016 US Presidential Election - Duration: 6:39.

Actually it was surprising enough

It was surprising

No

First, there were already some survey which resulted Hillary Clinton's dominance

And then, by looking at Trump's campaign, it seemed that he's not a wise leader.

That's why I was surprised

Because he made lot of controversial policies

Because in my opinion, Hillary Clinton is not better than Donald Trump

Perhaps, it's because he has lot of connection with American people

So he's famous in there

What I know is because Donald Trump is a entrepreneur and he has a lot of companies

He also has some mass media

So perhaps, it's where he got his power from

and it could attract the senators to believe that US needed a lot of money to keep its position as a superpower country

and maintain his position from China who is catching up

So this is viewed as an opportunity for American people

US F-22 Raptor vs Russian Su-35 Fighter Jet - Which Would Win? Military Unit Comparison - Duration: 6:50.

It is a well known fact that the US outspends every other nation on Earth on its defense.

America's current defense budget of around 664 billion dollars will be bolstered by an

extra 52.8 billion dollars under the new administration.

A good part of this will be spent on the purchase and development of warplanes.

One such aircraft, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II, has become synonymous with ambitious

big spending.

But prior to the F-35 stealing the headlines, it was another stealth fighter, the Lockheed

Martin F-22 Raptor, that was largely seen as the technological marvel of the skies - and

also a very expensive piece of machinery.

When we pitted the F-35 against Russia's universally extolled aircraft, the Su-35,

the conclusion we came to is that the planes are so different in design and capabilities

that they are difficult to compare.

The F-22 is a different beast altogether, though, and a machine that is largely seen

as the ideal foe for the Su-35.

Today we'll see just how these two highly advanced aircraft matchup, in this episode

of The Infographics Show, the F-22 vs the Su-35.

Don't forget to subscribe and click the bell button so that you can be part of our

Notification Squad.

We'll start by taking a look at the F-22.

This fifth-generation advanced tactical aircraft, according to the United States Air Force,

is unmatched as an air-superiority fighter.

Designed by Lockheed Martin, it took its first flight in 1997, and formally entered the service

of the U.S. air force in 2005.

195 F-22s were built overall, with a unit procurement cost of a staggering 350 million

dollars.

This supreme flying machine was not only far more expensive to build than anything of its

kind, but according to Air Force Cost and Performance figures, it was also a veritable

super-consumer of dollars when in flight.

The U.S. air force has stated that the F-22 costs around $60,000 an hour to fly, compared

to $22,500 for the F-16C Fighting Falcon and $30,000 for the F-35.

While the air force has always been enthusiastic about what it believes is the best combat

fighter plane ever made, it's said that restart costs might be the reason interest

has turned to other developments.

Now we turn to Russia's Sukhoi Su-35.

This single seat supermaneuverable multirole fighter flew its first flight in 1998 as a

prototype, but didn't appear in its present form until 2007 when it was revealed to the

public at the Russian MAKS-2007 air show.

While the U.S. military believes it has the greatest combat aircraft, the Russian Military

of Defense has also made such a claim with its Su-35.

58 have been built overall and many more have been ordered, with each unit costing somewhere

between 50-75 million dollars.

It's thought the cost to fly the plane for one hour is around 35,000 dollars.

Unlike the F-22, which cannot be exported due to laws in place to protect its high-tech

features and stealth capabilities, the Su-35 is up for sale.

A handful of countries have expressed interest in buying the aircraft but so far only China

has shown the money, ordering 24 planes for a cost of around 2 billion dollars.

The question you might be asking yourself is why is the F-22 so expensive to build and

fly?

We might better understand this by looking under the hood, so to speak.

Here are some comparisons with the Su-35.

It's estimated that the F-22 has a top speed in excess of 1,500 miles per hour, with a

range – meaning how far it can fly between take-off and landing – of around 1,840 miles.

The Su-35 has a top speed of around 1,491 miles per hour and has a range of 1,940 miles.

The service ceiling, how high the aircraft can fly and be fully operational, is 20,000

meters for the F-22 and 18,000 meters for the Su-35.

As for armaments, the F-22 carries one 20mm gun with 480 rounds, up to 6 medium-range

air-to-air missiles and 2 short range air-to-air missiles.

The Su-35 has one 30mm GSh-30 internal cannon with 150 rounds, up to 6 medium range air-to-air

missiles and 4 short range air-to-air missiles.

Some pundits believe that if a "dogfight" should happen between the two aircraft, the

Russian plane may have the advantage, having better 'Within Visual Range' capabilities

and carrying a few more weapons.

However, both planes are agile and fast, and carry devastating short-range weapons.

The supermaneuverable Su-35 has impressed with its aerial acrobatics, but then the F-22

is extremely nimble too due to its excellent thrust-to-weight ratio, which, in the words

of Lockheed Martin, makes the F-22 "ready to dominate any and all adversaries from the

outset of any conflict."

The outcome of these two planes having a dogfight is a divisive issue, but it's also an unlikely

scenario.

It's at a distance where the F-22 is seen as the better plane, due to its Beyond Visual

Range capabilities.

The Su-35 packs more missiles, but the F-22 has the stealth advantage.

This is a huge advantage of course, because it could potentially end the fight before

the Su-35 knows it's in one.

With such powerful weapons on board, whoever draws first blood in this fight undoubtedly

wins the battle.

It's thought that while the Su-35's Infa-Red Search and Tracking radar could detect the

F-22 at fairly close range, its sensors will have to get lucky.

The F-22 was built to hide as well as fight, and the plane has been compared to finding

a needle in a haystack, or literally, a marble in the sky, according to analysts.

One of the reasons for the latter plane's hefty price tag is its superior technology,

as much as its power, agility, and potential to harm.

This is not to underestimate the Su-35's radar control system, but it is probably no

match for the technology of the F-22.

Modern aircraft fighting is about much more than speed and weaponry, with situational

awareness and stealth being huge game-changing factors.

In the words of the F-22's principal builder, "Even if you detect me, you're not going

to know where I am a second from now."

What most people seem to agree on is that air force pilots in the modern era shouldn't

have to get up close before they destroy a target, and so the most advanced radar technology

and stealth capabilities are the best attributes a plane can have.

This is the foremost reason why the U.S. doesn't export its F-22s and keeps its technology

classified material.

Russia of course is acutely aware of this and is in the process of developing its fifth-generation

Sukhoi T-50 PAK-FA stealth fighter.

The plane's technology is classified information, too, but we know Russia again is focusing

on outstanding supermaneuverability.

The T-50, however, will be the first Russian Air Force plane to use stealth technology.

With a kinematic performance which is said to be comparable to the F-22, a former U.S.

Air Force intelligence officer has been quoted as saying that Russia's new machine will

have a "sophisticated design that is at least equal to, and some have said even superior

to, U.S. fifth-generation aircraft."

This supposition has also been doubted by other analysts.

Just as it has costed the Americans a hefty sum to develop mind-blowing avionics technology

and futuristic pilot aircraft interfaces, the Russians are said to be having their own

problems with extreme costs and the constant setbacks that come with developing high-tech

machines.

Progress is said to be slow.

Russian deputy defense minister Yuri Borisov has said the country is in no hurry to enter

the stealth fighter into service.

It's expected the first plane will be introduced in 2019, and Russia will continue developing

it until 2025.

So, How do you think these 2 fighter jets match up?

And more importantly, what do you think the Russians will pull out of the bag with their

newest plane?
