So alligator just took off

where did it go? I mean do they come back up again?

There it is again. That's a gator huh? Thats a big splash.... darn it....

[MUSIC]

Previously on Luckyfish we worked like crazy to splash in time for

a weather window that would take us all the way to Nestle

[MUSIC]

with Luckyfish back in the water we felt excited about the adventures that

lay ahead but sad to be saying our goodbyes to new friends we would be

leaving behind

Lew. That's slick.

Jim. Seeing as though you are in the middle of epoxy.

Robert. I like the way you got that set up.

Chris. Yeah. Sangria. She had that in her little....

Malinda. It pays to have paid crew you know.

and Tony. Put it back in the bottle....

Bruce. We smuggled 3,000 bottles of scotch in on the Chinese junk to Tahiti

Tim. In three or four minutes there won't be a piece this big

Gerry. Wee... Mongolian flag.... Ohhh!

[LAUGHS]

Brandon. Hey !!!

and Danielle. I dont think theres any alcohol in that punch

Danny. Go off and try something new

and of course Wayne Brown himself. It's just whether or not you want to be...

And to good buddy Curtis who'd been a massive help

getting back in the water on time and introducing us to the local wildlife so

So, alligator just took off. We came down to look at Danny's proa

and err.. where did it go? Do they come back up again?

he was on a ... it could have been a big turtle... oh yeah fair enough

this is the old river, coming around, through that way

there's a fishing boat just going through the grass over there

that's a weird scene

I assume he's heading towards the bridge he is

all right

There it is. Thats a gator huh. Thats a big splash.

Darn it.

Yeah. That was a big splash.

Yeah. That aint no little turtle.

Geez. I would feel very precarious sitting out there on Danny's net

[LAUGHS]

Something.... there he is. Right there

There is the gator. Right here.

Thats him

the eyes? on the water or what?

You see him out there?

hes just under the bow of that boat...

which boat the proa?

ohhh, the other one. I have gotta come over where you are then mate.

Nahhh. I cant see him eh?

Here is. Over here. Right there.

He's turned around looking at us.

oh I see yeah just below the anchor right Wow he's he's not the big one

right now that's to the little guy there's something else over there too

there might be two of them out there

See. He is there. Yeah. Thats the little one.

don't fall in now. yeah.

imagine if this dock tipped and we just

ended up in the water wouldn't you get out in a hurry with that little guy just

sitting there

it's the bridge closing

Its a beautiful morning. Yeah its a beautiful morning. We left at 5:30 from Labelle

just bumped the bottom of the port engine as we came out of the cut there

but a little bit of brute force and we pushed our way through the silt

Labelle bridge opened for us right on when he clocked on.

We caught him at 6:00

So for once we actually got away and did something on time

There is the next bridge

there's all this beautiful water front homes

5 knots. 4.9.

pretty much every one of them have this little docks, private docks. Right?

Fancy.

Next ones a swingbridge. Is it?

What's the name of it?

The next bridge is Fort Denaud.

It's a swing bridge. It's only got a vertical clearance of 9 feet.

Ooooh yeah. we need it open....

just looking at our wake there you can see in the middle of the river

the waves are moving ahead of the stuff on the edges

Okeechobee, the Lake, they are discharging water so we're getting a nice push

maybe half a knot or so if we stick to the middle of the river

so we'll certainly take advantage of that

what are you doing honey

Sailing to the moon

Its beautiful right?

Suns just coming up

Suns coming up on that side. Moons on this side.

that's a pretty river boat

we cleared customs yesterday we drove to Fort Myers and went to the airport and met

a very friendly customs and immigration official

RADIO Captain you will be clear to pass on the right hand side of the span

once the bridge is fully open

message understood thank you very much

I thank you sir

something I forgot about. Look

It's not 8. Its one hour ahead

it's 7 o'clock. 7 am

we made pretty good progress this morning it's 20 after 9:00 and we're at

Franklin Lock

Another catamaran has joined us. Zaya is up there, ready to tend her lines

ready to drop down. a foot and a half

one and a half feet we going down back to sea-level get a bit of surge in these

locks so pays to hang on to the lines and watch the side of the boat here we

here we are right in the middle of Suburbia

closing the lock gates

getting ready to open the ones on the downstream side

both just surged forward quite steadily

as the downstream lock gates opened

see the water rushing out there now

we're going backwards

Franklin Lock

I'll just change the mooring line over to the other side of the cleat

Now we're going forwards again

Zaya thinks this is all good fun

The boat's still got quite a bit of unfinished work on it

the tools are still out. that is always a bad sign

we've got a few hours now before we

reach the sea out at Sanibel bridge and probably got about six hours or so to

get the sails rigged and bolt a few of the last fittings back on again after

paint and get the boat set up for afternoon of sailing into the night be

able to shake the boat down and the daylight which is great and the weather

just is so favorable for our trip. I will try and run through what's in store over the

next couple of days but the wind looks very favorable for our run southeast

down to Marathon and then we should be in there by noon tomorrow or there

abouts nearly it's opening them up a bit faster now so the water level is almost

reached equilibrium yeah we should get to marathon around noon tomorrow barring

any hitches then the wind looks like it's going to swing in our favor for a

crossing of the Gulfstream to Bimini so if the weather forecast holds we can

leave Marathon about 6:00 a.m. on Sunday morning and make the run across

to Bimini and if the weather's still favourable and we've got daylight we

might continue onto to Nassau we'll play all that by ear generally we just

try make plans for the next leg one step at a time we were just given

instructions to exit the chamber when we're ready so we've just started the

engines and and now motoring out of the lock

arriving at Fort Myers we saw Chris's trimaran and swung by but he was not at home

where are you Chris?

Is it him?

yeah. It is his boat.

Well we just passed Fort Myers and it's so busy it's a Friday I mean don't any of these people work ?

There is so many boats on the water, many powerboats. The bigger they are....

the faster they go it's funny

big fat ones they just power straight past ya, like they've spent their whole life not

caring about other people

They get on the water with all their millions and...

its situation normal for them

but there's a few, I gotta say, in

the mid size range smaller ones don't bother us but the ones in the mid-size range

can pick up quite a trough in their wake. It pitches the boat around

and there is always one or two slow down and I get a big fat wave from us smiles but boy there is

some inconsiderate people out there

Sanibel bridge was fast approaching and beyond that the leg to marathon it was

time to finish the jobs we found a place to anchor away from the wash from other

boats rigged the sails and put the tools away at last

well it's Saturday February the 4th about 9:00 in the morning we had a good

run last night we stopped the boat after transiting down the river

to Sanibel bridge and spent about two hours just rigging

the sails before crossing under the bridge and starting our 120 miles

crossing overnight to Marathon Key and we're approaching marathon key now we're

in very shallow water that 2.1 meters under the keel and we're on the banks

behind the keys picking our way through a couple of parts of shoaling ground not

very familiar with the approach to marathon key we have to pass under the

bridge apparently and then on our left should be Boot Key marina where we will take

on some fuel and overnight and take advantage of this wind that's going to

continue to veer we've been really fortunate with the winds part of the

reason why we left Labelle when we did we saw this weather window opening up

where we'd have a brisk Norwest changing nor'easter norther came through last

night so we had broad reaching conditions initially and fairly light

winds and the nor westerly and then the nor'east filled in at about 22 23

knots and we gave the boat a good shake down flying along at between 6 and 9

knots boat speeds on a beam reach boat behaved beautifully vane steering setup

ran no problems although the ride was a bit noisy and a

bit bumpy at times got us down here really fast we're covered 160 miles or

so from Labelle and did it in under 28 hours that wind is going to continue to

veer tomorrow morning it'll move from the nor east through East and then South

around 6 a.m. tomorrow morning but to confirm that with this morning's weather

forecast the forecast yesterday evening which is just ideal I mean if we can get

a southerly boost along with the Gulf Stream north up to Bimini and that's

textbook crossing of the Gulf Stream so we'll see how that pans out and then

from Bimini we need to get across the Nassau by the 10th meet our first

guests we really couldn't have asked for a better re introduction to sailing and

a good shakedown for Luckyfish

Well the crabpots that everyone warned us about we're really thick as we were warned

all the way from pretty much Sanibel Britain we're still an amongst

them just it's incredible think there's any crabs left I mean they are just simply

everywhere

they didn't prove a problem for our boat we must have run over a few

of them but we didn't get hung up on any of the appendages which is pretty neat

we didn't run the hydro generator last night because of that reason we thought

we might get that thing hooked up in one which would not have been good

so we ran the wind genny instead all night and it did really well I mean we've got both

battery banks topped off this morning it was a very brisk breeze the wind genny was

putting out plenty of power turned it off now the Sun's up and we are just using the

solar panels to keep everything topped off

[MUSIC]

this is Boot Key harbour where we will anchor tonight and get ready to leave in the

morning for Bimini

Poll finds 33 percent would definitely or likely back Trump for reelection - Duration: 3:20.

cretin Trump would start his re-election bid with just 33 percent of voters

planning to definitely or likely vote for him according to a Harvard camps

Harris poll released exclusively to the hill the poll asked 1473 voters whether

they would either definitely vote for Trump probably vote for Trump probably

candidate in 2020 while 13 percent to remain unsure according to the Harvard

camps Harris poll Trump is widely expected to seek another term in the

White House he filed for re-election on June 20 2017 the same day he was sworn

into office the latest Harvard camps Harris survey put his approval rating at

44% a higher number than some other polls that show Trump with more anemic

ratings Republicans lost the house majority in the 2018 midterms in a

rebuke to the president though the GOP gained two seats in the Senate while the

figures suggest Trump is beatable in 2020 Democrats will have their own

challenges the party is expected to see a crowded presidential primary field in

2020 and no would-be contender has emerged as a clear front-runner Trump

for his part is hoping to win a comeback victory in 2020 similar to those won by

former presidents Clinton and Obama who brought won re-election after losing the

house majority in their first midterm Trump like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama

before him is struggling after their first midterms and it took a while for

them land on their feet said Mark Penn the co-director of the

Harvard caps Harris Poll Trump is stuck in the mid-forties and against a top

tire Democrat a would lose unless he is able to expand his base from its present

size right double quotation mark on the other hand Clinton and Obama look

beatable at this point and yet they ran smart campaigns to come back from the

dead he added with low reelect numbers Trump would be headed for a difficult

and likely losing campaign if he does not change some of it right double

[AION 6.5] Gear Enchantment. EZ or Not? - Duration: 5:30.

Hey, everyone!

This one of the official Russian servers

and today I'll be showing you is it really much easier to enchant the gear in 6.5?

According to the patch notes, the rates have been improved.

For example, if we try to enchant ancient gear between 10 and 15, with ancient enchantment stones,

the success chance equals 48% instead of 28%.

Sounds cool!

So, I had 120 ancient stones and decided to check, how many items I can enchant.

With 120 stones I managed to make +15 cannon and +11 jerkin.

Not bad, considering the fact both items were +0 at the beginning.

If you still believe the enchantment will be time-consuming and very expensive for you,

just simply stick to the gear you got as an exchange and keep evolving it.

I'm talking about Daeva's Fighter set.

It's not the best in 6.2 and it won't become the best in 6.5.

However, in 7.0 you can upgrade ultimate version of this set into brand new AP gear.

Basically, you'll have 2 options.

Either to upgrade Dancing Red Flame/Dancing Ember or Daeva's Fighter set.

In both ways you'll receive the best new pvp gear.

That's it for today.

I hope this info was useful.

Thanks for watching and see you soon!

English Tutor Nick P Quotes (207) Stephen King - Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying - Duration: 8:10.

Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Quotes 207. It's another one by Stephen

King. And it's a very famous movie quote, and anytime you look up movie

quotes, this is one of the ones that's often repeated a lot. And here's the

quote. It's very simple. Get busy living or get busy dying. Okay. So let's look at

the note here. This quote by Stephen King came from the famous short story

and movie "The Shawshank Redemption. " I think Shawshank was the name of the prison. And...

All right. Let's continue. The quote was said by the character, Andy Dufresne played by

Tim Robbins. Yeah. If you've ever seen this movie, it was a very good movie. This

character, he ends up getting accused of killing his wife and the, the boyfriend

that she was cheating with. And he did actually I think he did actually

purchase a gun but he threw it away and he never killed. He never actually killed

them. Somebody else who robbed them killed them but he ended up getting blamed for

it and he ended up going to prison for it.

You know, anytime a wife dies you know the husband is always the number one

suspect, but in this case , in this story, he really didn't do it. And all right. So

let's go on. This quote is also repeated later by the character, Ellis Boyd Red

Redding. Both characters said this line when they were at a crossroads in life.

Yeah. The character , Red Redding that's played by Morgan Freeman who became a

good friend of Andy Dufresne. and when he said it , he was actually remembering

Andy Dufresne. All right. now, the character, Andy Dufresne, he was

at a point where I think it was it there was another prisoner who actually met the

prisoner, The, the guy that actually killed his wife and killed the boyfriend. And he

told him that story when he was in jail and he could've proved it. And the, the

warden of that prison got to like Andy Dufresne because he, he was an

accountant. And he did a lot of like cheating accounting things for him. And

he knew that he was too afraid to let him go. And he actually had it set up

that this guy who could have proved Andy Dufresne was actually innocent.

He set it up where he looked like he was escaping. So he could kill, so he'd

actually kill him because he didn't want Andy Dufresne to ever go free. And Andy

Dufresne realized he's never going to get out of here. That he's got to do this now.

He's got to try to escape which he kind of planned for a long time. And I don't

know if he really wanted you know maybe for the longest time he you know, he

didn't do it or he was you know, hoping that he would eventually get out somehow. (legally)

But here he realized, he's never going to get out. So he's at a crossroads. So he's

got to either try to escape or not escape. And he's actually talking to

Redding when he says this. He was depressed for this and he realized.

Look... He didn't actually tell him he was going to escape, but that's what

he says. Well, you got to get busy living, or get busy dying. It means you got to go

for it you got to try to escape and get out of here. He actually told him where

that if he ever got out where he would go and what he would do. And that's also

important in the story later. But let's continue. Now Redding was finally let out of jail.

So, so Andy Dufresne , of course he did escape. And that's a great movie

if you ever seen it. You know, he ends up going through the sewer pipe and he got

out and he kept all the evidence and he actually got the warden in trouble and

he ended up gettng all the warden's money. And he did escape to where he

wanted to go was some place in Mexico I think

Zihuatanejo. Where he just wanted to get a fishing boat. So he ended up doing this.

But it was at that crossroads when he was really trying to decide that he

actually said this. Now later in the movie, Redding, the character, he finally

gets out of jail. They finally let him out. He's also an older man, after many

decades even though he got his freedom, he was reduced to a menial job of

packing groceries at a supermarket. One of the few options, for an ex-convict.

Because they couldn't get many jobs. You know, after being in jail for so long.

Life had become boring and meaningless to him, after he got out of jail. In fact he had

more power and significance as the go-to guy, you know when he was in jail. When he

was in jail a lot of people you know he was important in the jail. A lot of

people always went to him , because he had a lot of connections. He was able to get

stuff from outside the jail in. And, and he also had it was there with a lot of

other convicts. And you know, he, he had some even though, he's in prison he had

some significance. But now that he's out, he feels even less powerful, and he feels

that you know life is meaningless. So he's also suddenly at kind of a

crossroads. Now also there's another point that's important. Just before

Redding was released. There was another character called Brooks. You know he was

the guy that was in charge of like a lot of the books. And he finally got let out

also after many decades. Who got released after many decades. Brooks had

the same job, and lived in the same room as Redding got later. Okay So, so Redding found

himself in exactly the same position as this guy. Brooks also felt like life was

boring and meaningless after he got out. Too much had changed while he was in

jail. So he just felt like a feeble old man now. But in jail , he had some

importance he was he was the guy that was in charge of the books and you know,

you know at that area that all the convicts depended on basically. And he

and when he was out he was also afraid most of the time because he's just an

older guy now and you know oh well like over 30 years a lot of technology had passed by.

It was almost like another world to him. Unfortunately, he decided to commit

suicide. So at this point Redding is in the exact same position. He's also at a

crossroads in his life and he's deciding what he's going to do. And in the

meantime I think Dufresne left him a hint of like where to go and he left a

box with a lot of money. So he's either thinking of breaking his parole and

leaving taking a risk. Just like Dufresne took the risk to

get out of prison. Or just you know, almost like doing what Brooks did. Maybe,

maybe commit suicide. Life is too boring you know, so that's, that's, that's

the point. That's important here. All right. So this quote is basically telling us

all, when we come upon a similar crossroads in life, to get busy living.

Strive do whatever it takes to reach that goal and get the most out of life

basically. Don't just waste away your days in pain and regret. That's basically

what he was saying. If you can't take it anymore and you're almost thinking you

know life is too boring or or possibly thinking about suicide. Don't do it. So...

regret. So don't take the .... Yeah. And don't take the drastic step basically.

Yeah. it's a pain regret. And definitely don't take the drastic step of suicide.

Yeah. So either get busy living or get busy dying. That's basically what he's

saying. Again it's a famous, it's a famous quote. It was a great movie if you've

never seen it. I recommend it even though. even though, it's an old movie. It's

still quite good. I'm sure you can find it on cable or YouTube or something like

that. anyway I hope you got it I hope you

enjoyed it. Thank you for your time. Bye- bye.

TROOPS AT THE BORDER: A STUNT OR A NECESSARY PRECAUTION? - Duration: 4:35.

O'BRIEN: WELCOME TO "MATTER OF FACT," WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE IMPACT OF IMMIGRATION AT THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER IN SOUTH TEXAS. HIDALGO COUNTY HAS BE AT THE CENTER OF THE DEBATE OVER

IMMIGRATION FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY. BORDER CROSSINGS BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL ARE PART OF DAILY LIFE THERE, SO NOW TWO PERSPECTIVES, ON THE IMPACT, ONE FROM THE BORDER PATROL CHIEF,

WHO SAYS HE NEEDS A WALL TO STOP A CRISIS, AND ONE ONE FROM THE MAYOR OF McALLEN, TEXAS, WHO SAYS THIS ISSUE IS BEING POLITICIZED B PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW WHAT

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WASHINGTON, D.

MAN: JUST WATCH YOUR STEP RIGHT HERE.

O'BRIEN: MANUEL PADILLA KNOWS EACH TWIST AND TURN OF THIS STRETCH OF THE RIO GRANDE IN HIDALGO COUNT HE'S THE BORDER PATROL CHIEF OF THE BUSIEST CROSSING POINT F

UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IN THE SOUTHWEST.

PADILLA: YESTERDAY WE HAD OVER 800 APPREHENSIONS.

O'BRIEN: SMUGGLERS WATCH FROM ACROSS THE NARROW STRETCH OF RIVER, WAITING TO BRING ANOTHER GROUP OF IMMIGRANTS ACROSS.

PADILLA: THEY LIKELY WILL NOT CROSS AS LONG AS WE'RE HERE. AS SOON AS WE MOVE, THEY WILL COME BACK IN AN HOUR.

SO THE RIVER IS NOT AN EFFECTIVE BARRIER FOR THEM O'BRIEN: THE SMUGGLERS ARE PERSISTENT BECAUSE THIS IS BIG BUSINESS PADILLA: EVERY PERSON--AGAIN,

THE GRAND TOTAL THAT EVERY PERSON PAYS, WHETHER IT'S A 5-MONTH-OLD CHILD OR AN ADULT, IT'S $4,00 WHAT HAPPENED?

5 IN CUSTODY? OK. GOOD.

MAN: THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK SOUTH.

PADILLA: GOOD.

O'BRIEN: PADILLA'S AGENTS PATROL THIS REGION 7 DAYS WEEK, 24 HOURS A DAY, EVEN IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT.

WOMAN ON RADIO: GO AHEAD.

MAN: I'M HERE BY BORDER 28 ON MY MOBILE.

O'BRIEN: THE SEARCH IS SLOW, HAMPERED BY THE DENSE VEGETATION THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO WALK AND IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE EVEN A FEW FEET AHEAD.

PADILLA: IT'S A HUGE HIDE-AND-SEEK GAME IN TRYING TO MAKE THESE APPREHENSIONS.

O'BRIEN: PADILLA SAYS HE NEE A PERMANENT BARRIER ACROSS THIS ENTIRE STRETCH OF THE BORDER.

PADILLA: ONCE YOU ERECT THE WALL SYSTEM AND THE TECHNOLOGY, ALL THIS STUFF GOES AWAY.

O'BRIEN: ACCORDING TO PADILLA, THE FENCE WILL ALSO HELP KEEP OUT A LARGE NUMBER OF FAMILIES WHO MAKE THE DANGEROUS JOURNEY, OFTEN WITH THEIR SMALL CHILDREN, AND ONCE THEY CROSS THE BORDER,

MANY IMMEDIATELY TURN THEMSELVES IN TO BORDER AGENT PADILLA: SO WE ENCOUNTER THEM, WE PROCESS THEM, AND THEN TURN THEM OVER TO ANOTHER AGENCY, BUT WE'RE TREATING THEM

HERE AS REFUGEES BECAUSE THE INITIAL CLAIM OF ASYLUM, OF CREDIBLE FEAR. THAT IMPACTS BORDER SECURITY BECAUSE THERE' A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT SPENT ON DEALING WITH THIS POPULATIO

THAT IS NOT RUNNING AWAY.

THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO AVOID THE BORDER PATRO O'BRIEN: BUT THE MAYOR OF McALLEN, TEXAS, THE LARGEST CITY IN HIDALGO COUNTY, SAYS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

NEEDS TO PROVIDE A HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE INSTEAD OF A LA ENFORCEMENT ONE.

JIM DARLING: I'VE ALWAYS SAID THEY OUGHT TO SEND SOCIAL WORKERS DOWN HERE TO PROCESS PEOPLE BECAUSE ABOUT 80%--A LITTLE OVER 80% OF AL THE ILLEGAL ENTRIES ARE

REALLY PEOPLE SEEKING ASYLUM.

O'BRIEN: THE MAYOR ADMITS SOME OF THOSE CROSSING THE BORDER ARE CRIMINALS. ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT STATS, LESS THAN OF IMMIGRANTS WHO ARE APPREHENDED AT THE BORDER WERE

CRIMINALS, BUT EVEN SO, MAYOR DARLING SAYS HIS TOWN ISN'T IMPACTED.

DARLING: WE'RE THE SAFEST CITY IN THE STATE OF TEXAS, SEVENTH IN THE UNITED STATES.

O'BRIEN: IS THAT RIGHT?

DARLING: THAT'S WHAT'S SO HURTING TO US, YEAH.

O'BRIEN: TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IS IT LIKE LIVI IN A BORDER TOWN.

HOW FAR ARE WE FROM THE BORDER RIGHT NOW?

DARLING: WE'RE 6 MILES. SO WE'RE A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

WE'RE NOT RIGHT ON THE BORDER LIKE LAREDO OR BROWNSVILLE, AND I THINK THAT'S BEEN ONE OF OUR BENEFITS FROM A STANDPOINT OF PEOPLE COMING FROM MEXICO T SHOP. THEY WANT TO GO TO AN

ALL-AMERICAN CITY.

O'BRIEN: SO YOU HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF TOURISM COMING IN FROM MEXICO--FROM MEXICANS WHO WANT TO SHOP HERE, AND THEN THEY GO BACK HOME?

DARLING: YEAH. WE WERE--UNTIL ABOUT 2 OR 3 YEARS AGO, WE WERE THE NUMBER ONE SALES TAX COLLECTOR IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND ABOUT 20 TIMES HIGHER THAN THE AMERICAN AVERAGE.

O'BRIEN: SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

EXPLAIN TO ME SORT OF TH DYNAMICS OF THE BORDER FOR FOLKS IN McALLEN.

DARLING: ONE OF THE THINGS, WE OWN A COUPLE OF INTERNATIONAL BRIDGES, SO WE HAVE ABOUT 8,000 PEOPLE WO COME ACROSS EVERY DA WALKING AND DOING BUSINESS AND SHOPPING AND OWNING SHOPS

AND WORKING, ET CETERA, AND SO WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO WHAT HAPPENS IN MEXICO. I WOULD SAY WHAT HAPPENS THERE HAPPENS TO US A LOT ON THE BORDER.

O'BRIEN: WHAT DOES WASHINGTON GET WRONG ABOUT THE BORDER DARLING: OH, I THINK--WELL, I THINK THE REST OF THE NATION DOES FOR ONE THING. I MEAN, THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

THE ISSUES.

FOR ONE THING, THEY THINK IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

Is It Better To Have Young or Old Parents? - Duration: 9:01.

When people are deciding what age to have children at, you'll often hear them say

that before they have kids there are a lot of things they want to get done first.

Maybe travel the world, maybe concentrate on a career, or at least just wait until the

twenties are out of the way.

On the flip side, some people will tell you that they want to have children at a young

enough age so that they can actively play sports with their children when the kids are

in their teens, adding that they don't want to be ageing parents because they fear they

won't have the energy required, say, in their 50s, to still be dealing with kids.

Today we'll talk about all the pros and cons, in this episode of the Infographics

Show, Is it better to be born to younger or older parents?

As we just pointed out, there are many reasons why people choose to be younger or older parents.

Sometimes kids just happen of course, but often parenting is meticulously planned.

So, let's say you were born to older parents.

What does older mean?

Well, for women having a kid over the age of 35 could be said to qualify the woman as

being an older parent.

As for men, they can keep on giving well into old age, but that doesn't mean they should

do that.

Before we talk about the kids, we should say that science doesn't seem to disagree that

the longer a woman waits there could be more birth complications for her and the kid.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health tells us in older age women are more at risk of

having a stillbirth, miscarriage, or ectopic pregnancy.

That means the baby being in an abnormal position.

The woman also has more chance of having high blood pressure during pregnancy, higher cholesterol,

developing diabetes, and according to the American Stroke Association, if women are

over 40 after getting pregnant, they are more at risk of having a stroke or heart attack.

There are more risks, and they are well-documented.

It seems if a woman gives birth at a later age, perhaps over 35 or 40, there is more

chance of the baby being born with Down syndrome.

We are also told that there is risk of other congenital anomalies when women have kids

at a later age.

Other studies tell us the kids also have more chance of developing neuropsychiatric disorders

such as autism or even schizophrenia.

This all sounds grim, but the American Journal of Epidemiology said that this has more to

do with the health of the woman, her lifestyle, than it does with age alone.

Many critics will tell you that there is a bit of scaremongering going on, to compel

women not to wait too long.

Now for some good news for older mothers.

As you can imagine, having a teenage parent might not always be the best thing in the

world.

Often the woman has not matured enough in life to be an able parent, while there is

always the risk of the mother, and perhaps father if he is young too, just not being

ready.

There is also money to consider, as a younger mother and father might not be financially

prepared to have a child.

There are many other benefits of having children at a later age.

One Danish study that seems to be cited a lot found that kids born to older parents

had fewer emotional and behavioral problems than kids born to young parents.

But these were kids studied at age seven and eleven.

It seemed at age fifteen things levelled out.

It gets better for older parents.

Another study undertaken in the UK and U.S. found that kids born to older mothers and

fathers on average had a higher IQ than kids born to younger parents.

That study found the kids had more success in education, especially when it came to subjects

that fall into the STEM category, meaning Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.

Another study called "The Relationship Between Maternal Education and Children's Academic

Outcomes," found that kids born to older parents have more chance at developing good

vocabularies, being able to articulate themselves better, which has nothing to do with biology

but the fact that often older parents often have a richer vocabulary, and this is passed

onto the kids.

In fact, as Psychology Today tells us, older parents are on average more educated than

younger parents, whether formally or informally, and this affects how well the kids will do

in school.

The kids of older parents in general outshone other kids in education.

But you can add to this the fact that in general the kids of older parents spent more meaningful

time with their parents since those parents had more time to give.

Younger parents to some extent are still either working very hard or perhaps haven't grown

up enough to dedicate all their time to their kids.

Another bonus, according to a study in the Menopause Journal anyway, is mothers who had

kids later in life had more chance of living to a very old age.

It seems because older mothers had waited until the ideal time, they were able to take

better care of themselves prior to having kids.

It didn't seem to affect how much longer men lived, or at least the study didn't

mention that.

One doctor also noted, "This does not mean women should wait to have children at older

ages in order to improve their own chances of living longer."

The advantages of being an older parent are listed in many other studies.

That Danish study we mentioned also said that older parents are less likely to lose their

cool and start shouting and screaming at their kids, which is good if you are an older parent

but also good for the child's well-being.

A 2012 study published in the British Medical Journal said that young kids they looked at

born to older parents had lots of advantages.

Some of these were a better body mass index (BMI), advanced language capabilities, advanced

social development, and these kids were even less likely to be admitted to hospital.

It seems older parents were more adept than younger parents at keeping their kids away

from actions that resulted in injuries.

Again, there are lots of studies out there that will tell you that older parents have

more risk of producing a child that has birth defects, physical or psychological, and this

is solely related to chromosomal abnormalities.

But as we pointed out, there seems to be lots of benefits for the parent and child if the

parent is older.

We must also remember that many other factors will affect the child's development, such

as being born with one or two parents or how financially well-off the parents are.

Not all young kids are born to struggling parents.

Kids might be born to older parents that leave them with a nanny all the time and spoil them

rotten at other times, which isn't necessarily good for the child.

Ok, so now let's look at some of the benefits of being a younger parent, for both parent

and child.

Unfortunately, there seems to be less scientific research on this than there is anecdotal reportage.

Those benefits include young parents not having to deal with a tricky transition later in

life.

Older parents might have gotten a little bit too used to their lifestyle.

Some reports suggest that younger parents might be able to relate better to their kids.

They might understand their teenage culture, and so in times of difficulties be able to

offer more sound advice.

They will likely still have a lot of energy, too, which means being able to do more things

with kids, including dads going to the park and playing sports, at least with vigor.

But perhaps one of the biggest reasons to have kids early in life is to free some time

up in later age.

This is how one parent put it, "While other parents who decided to have kids later in

life will be busy chasing toddlers or managing the mood swings of preteens, I'll be busy

rekindling my dreams, pursuing my passions and traveling."

There might also be active grandparents around who are still young enough to get in on the

act of bringing up the kids, while kids with older parents might miss out on hanging out

with the old folks.

Live Science cited a study involving lots of parents, although the study, conducted

by the University of California, unfortunately only included parents that had good incomes

and were white.

It wanted to know what the ideal age was to have kids.

From that study it was revealed that being an older parent was better in various ways,

but the main reason was that the parents seemed to be more emotionally prepared for the task

of parenting.

Older parents in general had more freedom from work, more money, and more time for their

kids.

Saying that, many women in the study also said they would have ideally had kids earlier

in life if they had had the money.

They basically didn't have kids at a young age because they didn't feel financially

prepared.

Moreover, a third of the women in the study and a quarter of the men, who had all had

kids late, said they felt they didn't have the right amount of energy for their kids.

It's complicated, though, and some studies suggest that there is a sweet spot in age

to have children.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health wrote this in 2012, "We find that offspring born

to mothers younger than age 25 or older than 35 have worse outcomes with respect to mortality,

self-rated health, height, obesity, and the number of diagnosed conditions than those

born to mothers aged 25–34."

Perhaps, as we said, younger mothers and fathers might not be the best prepared, and perhaps

if mothers are over 35, as this study says, there might be more chance of birth defects

related to what it calls the mothers' 'fecundity" or lack thereof.

There are so many studies out there, and not all are equal.

You may have seen the British tabloid headline saying older dads made uglier kids, if the

dads were over 40.

But if you look closely at that study it's hardly science-based.

In fact, it's not reliable at all.

The debate is ongoing, regarding if it's better to have kids at a younger or older

age, both for the child and the parent.

News24 - West Ham transfer news: Marko Arnautovic to Man Utd or Chelsea? Bradley Dack to arrive? - Duration: 3:30.

 Marko Arnautovic joined West Ham from Stoke in July 2017 and has so far impressed for the London club

 The Austrian has played 49 times for the Hammers, scoring 16 goals and providing 10 assists

 His performances have seen him linked with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea in recent months

 However, interest from Old Trafford appears to have cooled since the sacking of Jose Mourinho, who had worked with Arnautovic previously at Inter Milan

 While former Blues striker Tony Cascarino says he would love to see the 29-year-old at Chelsea and even compared the star to Eric Cantona

 "You know the one player I'd really want to take? Arnautovic – I'd take him in a heartbeat," Cascarino said

"I think he'd fit perfectly into Chelsea." "The thing with Arnautovic – he reminds me of that Eric Cantona mindset

He thinks he's good enough to be up there at the top table, and he is. "He was dreadful at times last year but there's a real player in there and he needs a challenge and maybe the challenge is West Ham? "Arnautovic is a player capable of playing for one of the best teams in England

" The Hammers hitman is currently out until the New Year with a hamstring injury so a January departure would seem unlikely at the moment

 However, SkyBet still make United favourites to secure his signature at 8/1, with Chelsea behind them at 12/1

 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has got off to a flying start since replacing Mourinho in the Old Trafford hotseat but may not look at attacking reinforcements since Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard are all contributing to the goals, plus Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez are still to return to the squad

 Meanwhile, West Ham appear to be leading the race to land Bradley Dack from Blackburn

 The playmaker has impressed in the Championship this season, notching nine goals and providing four assists in 20 outings

 Crystal Palace are also reported to be in the running but the Hammers have been made the clear favourites by SkyBet

 A January move to West Ham for Dack has been priced at 3/1, while a switch to Premier League rivals Palace has been set at 12/1

 However, reports claim it will cost in the region of £20million to sign the 24-year-old Rovers star

News24 - Virgil van Dijk at Liverpool: How close Man Utd, Chelsea or Arsenal transfers were - Duration: 3:32.

 Van Dijk has transformed Liverpool in the year since his arrival from Southampton

The Holland international has helped the Reds open up a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table and is gaining plaudits left, right and centre

 Few could have imagined the impact he has had. When news of his £75million transfer filtered through, the sceptics were out in full force

 **PREDICT FIVE RESULTS AND WIN £25,000 - FREE TO PLAY HERE** What had he won? Wasn't he a crock at Southampton? What about refusing to play? Liverpool's deal was questioned by many

 But a year on and the 27-year-old is the king of Anfield. But he could have become a Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal player instead

Van Dijk at Liverpool: Man Utd were linked Before his move to Liverpool, Manchester United were tentatively linked with a move for the defender

 It was an open secret that Jose Mourinho felt his defence needed strengthening, despite having only just landed Victor Lindelof from Benfica in the summer

 United chiefs felt his £75m price tag was too high, however. They also believed that, with Lindelof, Eric Bailly, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling on the books, Mourinho had enough

 A year on and that looks to be one massive error - and one they may rectify in January if rumours of a bid for Kalidou Koulibaly ring true

Van Dijk at Liverpool: Chelsea wanted him Van Dijk to Chelsea could easily have happened - with the Blues close to signing him

 Antonio Conte felt the Dutch powerhouse would strengthen a backline still feeling the effects of the loss of John Terry to Aston Villa

 But Chelsea bigwigs, like at United, felt he was too pricey. Even worse - they instead went ahead with their own signings

 Conte never wanted Ross Barkley and yet, the England international signed from Everton

A year on and their hunt for a sufficient Terry replacement remains ongoing.Van Dijk at Liverpool: What about Arsenal? Arsenal were rather cautious in the transfer market during the later years of Arsene Wenger's reign

 The Frenchman viewed Van Dijk as a possible signing last January but a move to the Emirates was never on the cards

 Arsenal instead strengthened their defence by signing Sokratis from Borussia Dortmund under Unai Emery this summer

 But Van Dijk was the one that got away.

Is My Child Autistic or Gifted? Redefining the Autism Label to Empower Your Kid [2019] - Duration: 7:16.

Hey there it's Dr. Andrea Libutti and today we're gonna talk about "is my child

gifted or autistic'" and you know this is an important topic because we often get

hung up on labels and labels can be really damaging now I get it you want

the autism label because you want to get services for example but we're gonna

talk about three things we're going to talk about redefining or reframing the

autism label we're going to talk about what gifted what it means to be gifted

what that is and I'm also going to introduce a new label a more empowering

label so the reason that this topic is really important is your child's

educational plan is very much connected to the label your child has so if they

have an autism label or a gifted label right but the problem with that is think

about it when you have an autism label what are they focusing on they're

focusing on the deficits if you have a gifted label it's like everybody's

focused on what that child is so good at so important topic here and I want to

try to reframe some things for you so you can look at things differently and

perhaps get your educational team on board with looking at things differently

too so let's talk about autism the word I I'd like to reframe the word autism

because and that's part of the work that I'm doing right I want to shift the

autism paradigm there is such a stigma behind the word autism right people want

to cure it people want to recover their child from autism and I totally get all

that autistic adults by the way hate that they there is no cure this is

ridiculous they're trying to ruin us as people or or you know belittle us as

autistic you know as humans so and I and I agree because it's the label that's

the problem so I look at autism not as a series of deficits and challenges I look

at a child with autism as somebody that came into the world extremely hyper

sensitive to everything around them right their brains are wired a little

different they think differently that's a really

really good thing that's not a bad thing my child's brilliance is because of his

autism but we get hung up on the label of autism and we want to recover them or

cure them from autism because we don't then want them to be autistic but what

if we what if we reframe autism as being just a hypersensitive individual of wire

differently individual and work to focus on what that child's strengths are not

just their deficits so you know it's important because the expectation of a

child that has autism versus a child that is gifted are two totally different

things and I want to reframe that for you I don't want you to think because my

child is autistic that all of their potential lies here but if they're

gifted their potential lives up here so think about it as you know a strengths

mindset really instead of thinking of your child with the label think of your

child not with their about their challenges so much but their strengths

and you know gifted this is the second part of this gifted is you know people

want their kids to be gifted they want them to be academic geniuses or musical

geniuses but giftedness can come in many forms it can be the academics for sure

we could have a a math genius and ela genius I know one of my friends has a

son that's 12 with autism and he is a language genius which is really ironic

cuz he doesn't talk much he can't talk much but he knows different languages

like he taught himself Japanese on an iPad I think that's phenomenal

but he's autistic and nobody's nobody's focusing on the fact that he has all

these amazing abilities with language they're focusing on his deficits so

anyway I diverged a little there gifted can take many forms yes the academics

yes musical giftedness artistic giftedness language giftedness visual

spatial giftedness my son is a visual spatial genius so to speak he is amazing

at his ability to manipulate visual spatial you know stuff learning

and details creating things and putting things together you can also have

athletic giftedness or physical can kinesthetic giftedness right like

athletes and people like that so don't just think of giftedness as only

academics it comes in many forms and you know again when you compare and contrast

autism versus gifted the label really gets in the way so I'm coming to number

three which is let's give a new label to our kids

and while the research says there's a very small percentage of autistic kids

that are are gifted this label it's called twice exceptional or tooie I

actually disagree because I think that every child has a genius something okay

there is some genius in every child no matter what it is and it's our job as

parents to figure out what that strength is but anyway the chui label I really

like that label because it's a very empowering label so consider if your

child is both are they autistic and gifted you don't have to be one or the

other you can be both and I suspect that a lot of these kids even these so-called

nonverbal low functioning kids which I hate that label they are extremely

intelligent and gifted in certain aspects so the take home label here okay

sorry the take home label the take home message here if there is only one thing

you take away from this then I want you to stop thinking about a label for your

child and think about a strengths mindset so if you can come up with what

is your child really good at what are they strong at and focus on that focus

all of your attention on that you will see your relationship with your child

your child's abilities everything will start to blossom if you if you come from

a place of a strengths mindset and it's really important to get your teachers

and educators on board with your child's strengths so if your teacher doesn't

know what your child's strengths are and they're not interested in learning get a

new teacher but if they are interested in learning be detectives together

figure out what they're really good at because that's the way your child

we'll be able to thrive so thank you for listening really important topic but

don't let the label lower your expectations okay if your child is

autistic look for the gifts okay they can be both and most are so thanks for

listening come on over to my website AndreaLibutti.com, if you're interested

in downloading some free checklists and some guides

that will help you on your autism journey I am really doing this because I

want to change how the world sees autism, I want parents to have the tools that

they can use to really help their children thrive and hopefully become

independent one day. So thanks for listening and have a great day
