Youtube daily want May 5 2017

Last year we received notice that Resolute was filing a SLAPP suit against Greenpeace in the U.S.

and Greenpeace International.

And it was naming individuals.

It can be intimidating to be personally named in a fat law suit, you got piles of legal

papers, you wonder about, what's this going to mean for me?

When am I going to have to show up in court?

What does this mean for my future?

That sort of thing.

And three hundred million dollars kind of hanging over your head.

When the lawsuit was filed, they actually, for individuals like me, had to serve us with papers.

There was a knock at the door, I go and the process server hands me this chunk of paper here,

and it was the lawsuit.

And it was real at that moment.

Resolute Forest Products sued me, Greenpeace Canada, and a colleague of mine, for

seven million dollars four years ago.

My love for the forest, really comes from where I grew up in Ireland.

I grew up right at the foot of a mountain, which still has some of the original Irish

oak trees in it.

My mom is from Norway, and I think that's where my love of nature really started.

I was like the family cat, that when my mom wanted to call me in for dinner, she had to

sort of yell into the woods, and I would come scampering out of the bushes.

I am a Greenpeace activist, but I'm also just an everyday, average mom.

My daughter is just discovering certain things in her environment, and it's like a light

bulb goes off.

And it's so fun to see her realize new things.

I want my children to live in a world where there is such natural beauty, that it causes

that sort of awe-inspiring moment.

People often don't realize that Greenpeace is all about solutions that deliver sustainable

economies for local communities, ensure indigenous rights are respected, and ensure that the

well-being of our planet is secured for future generations.

We start with our goal of zero deforestation and forest degradation.

It's easy to see where that stuff is happening because of modern technology.

Most of what I do works with companies, to make sure that the commodities they buy, so

things like pulp and paper and palm oil, are coming from really sustainable and responsible

sources around the world.

And in the Canadian Boreal forest, we're lucky enough to have some of the last intact forest

left on this planet.

The Boreal is the big, green halo on the top of the Earth.

It goes across North America, Europe, and Asia.

It's one of the largest carbon storehouses in the world, and if we're going to have any

chance at preventing catastrophic climate change, we need a healthy Boreal forest.

And Resolute Forest Products is one of the largest logging companies in North America,

and so you can't ignore the impact that they're having on the ground there.

Calling us a criminal enterprise is so far from reality, that it is really hard to understand.

I think they're trying to make a point that if they can take out Greenpeace, who else

will be left to stand up to them?

Smaller nonprofits, with fewer resources, would think twice

before speaking a critical word against them.

Why Resolute is such and important part of this story is because not only are they threatening

the health of these forests for future generations, they're also threatening the ability of the

environmental movement as a whole to speak out, to criticize, and to shine a light on

the practices that otherwise wouldn't come to the public's attention.

This is all about snuffing out and silencing dissenting voices.

And when you do that, you erode public discourse, free speech, and when you do that, you endanger

the very heart of our democratic society.

Symposium highlights: A global dialogue on the future of work we want - Duration: 4:19.

"I'm actually surprised

by the loss of faith of the West in its own culture and civilization.

As an African, I don't want to join that loss of faith.

What one wants to do from the African point of view

of course is to learn from the many many moments in Western history

when technology had been a problem and you've tamed it."

"There's nothing we can do

even if we wanted, to stop the march of technology.

I don't believe that's true."

"To me, a major challenge in the future

is how to reappropriate political power

in order to be able to govern again the conditions of work and production

that we want to see developing

and this, I think, also has strong implications for environmental questions."

"Tomorrow is today

in terms of climate change

because climate will affect all the economy, all our life."

"This is a debate

that has to make sense not only in Silicon Valley

but in the Nile Valley as well."

"Remember that, by 2050,

one in every ten children worldwide will be born in Nigeria.

That means that

we won't be able to build

as many schools

as there will be children to educate,

it's physically impossible,

so we'll have to reinvent school."

"To fix the issues which have emerged,

you need a strong, vibrant, independent

and democratic trade union movement.

No one is saying that wealth is not going to be created.

I haven't heard one comment

that the wealth is not being recreated.

There's going to be two, four, five trillion dollars

added to the world economy.

That takes us back to the question of distribution

and that's where we fit in."

"People are very creative.

They will find work, work will emerge.

The problem for us

as people who think about this in policy terms

is that that work will not look like what we conceive of as work.

That has enormous implications for how our society is operated

and how we fund and enforce the rules

that we believe a civilized society should have."

"Young people are the future of the world,

they are not burden

and this new digital economy

actually provides, I think,

an opportunity for the young people."

"I would like a female boss.

I'm not saying that we haven't made progress

when it comes to including women in the workplace,

but there is still a huge gap that needs to be closed."

"Sometimes certain young people in London have more in common

with their counterparts in Lagos

than with young people in a neighbourhood a few kilometres outside London."

"Actually we see that

everybody is increasingly connected,

and where has responsibility gone?"

"And, I think, there are many places

humans have clear advantages over machines

but they are not necessarily the best paying or good jobs.

So it really is a question of the quality of jobs."

"Regulation if there is no ownership

from the employers and the workers, it doesn't work."

"When we are taking on board

different views, different perspective of businesses,

we also take on board the views of those

that sometimes are forgotten to some extent,

and now we have the gig economy

and there, I mean, even if there are private equity,

to some extent we have the challenge

to look at who is on the other side

and try to take their views."

"I think there is actually

a lot of really interesting things going on

when you start looking across the landscape

of different industries in different countries.

So there's actually, I think, quite a fair amount

of reason for optimism

that we have some very promising leads

that we can build on going forward.

"When we see the degree

of job displacement and ripples from that,

there's going to be a demand for solutions

and for answers,

demands for new scenarios:

What works, what doesn't work

so I see the ILO right at the centre

of this new universe of the conversation

about the future of work."

Secrets The Lottery Doesn't Want You To Know - Duration: 7:05.

You may have a better chance of getting hit by a meteor than winning the lottery, but

that temptation to win the big jackpot is hard to resist.

"Three days wasted looking through 200,000 lottery tickets."

"Those weren't the lottery tickets.

That was a test.

THESE are the lottery tickets."

After all, what harm could spending a few dollars do when the right ticket could completely

change your life?

Well, more than you think.

Before you start buying weekly scratch-offs or planning the mansion you'll be buying with

your Powerball winnings, here are some lottery secrets you really oughta know...

Preying on the poor

States run their lottery programs because they consider it a harmless way to make money.

CNN reported that, in 2014, the citizens of the 43 states with a lottery spent a whopping

$70 billion on it…

More than all other forms of entertainment

"Which means Americans basically spent more on the lottery than they spent on America!"

But the spending isn't distributed equally through the classes.

North Carolina found the poorest counties had the highest lotto sales:

"Out of the 20 counties with poverty rates higher than 20 percent, 18 had lottery sales

topping the statewide average of $200 per adult."

In other words, poorer people are more likely to spend more money on the lotto, because

it represents a dream to get out of poverty.

The government isn't completely innocent in giving poor people this dream, either.

The lottery has been accused of targeting low-income communities through their advertisements.

"Can I ask you, if you won all the money, what would you do with it?"

"Bunch of hookers and cocaine."

"Oh OK, that's not good.

We were hoping for a different answer."

A Carnegie Mellon study found that "lotteries set off a vicious cycle that not only exploits

low-income individuals' desires to escape poverty but also directly prevents them from

improving upon their financial situations."

So, states may be increasing their money flow, and that's good.

But they're doing it by keeping poor people poor.

That's not good.

Scratch-off blues

People don't just get hooked on the regular, "pick your numbers" lottery.

Scratch-offs are huge business.

A common assumption is that since the payouts are smaller, the chances of winning are better.

But no: all lottery chances are objectively horrible.

"Down to my last lottery ticket.

Cherry.

Cherry!

Mule.

Crud!"

In New York, the scratch-off with the best payoff averages a payout of 88 cents per dollar.

This $30 "Win $1 Million a Year for Life" ticket is so good, you'll only lose $3.60

every time you play!

That's still a lot better than the "Lucky Tripler," a not-so-lucky dollar scratch-off

that pays out only 59 cents on the dollar.

Most of the scratch-offs in the $1 to $10 range pay off around 61 cents per dollar,

making them at least the second worst investment idea ever.

"Aha, once again the conservative sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor!

Oh!

I'm ruined!"

The lottery tax

If the government called the lotto by its proper name, sales wouldn't be soaring — because

the lottery should be called a tax.

For starters, according to a 2002 paper by Professor Ross Rubenstein of Georgia State

University, the lottery basically taxes you just for playing:

"Although purchases of lottery tickets are 'voluntary,' the implicit tax on a dollar

spent on a lottery product is not voluntary, just as sales taxes paid on purchased goods

are not voluntary."

But some analysts go even further and argue that the lottery itself is a tax, working

the same way as an income tax or a property tax.

Only instead of an income tax, where the government gets paid proportionately to what people make,

the lottery taxes the poor by a ridiculously high margin.

"I have a joke for you."

"Ok."

"The government in this town is excellent and uses your tax dollars efficiently."

(Laughs)

States have a pretty good incentive to keep this going.

In 2009, 11 states made more money from the state lottery than they did from corporate

income taxes.

In Rhode Island, the lotto brought in more than twice as much as corporate taxes.

But it's all worth it if you hit the jackpot, right?

Well...even then the state governments get a juicy payout.

Anyone who wins more than $600 will get the thrill of paying a 45-percent tax.

Then...at least all that tax money is going to a good cause?

Not so fast...

Education

Okay, so the lottery's not good for poor people, but it's helping schools, so we can't get

rid of it.

Think of the children, right?

The California Lottery alone raised $1.39 billion and gave $97 million to the Los Angeles

Unified School district for the 2014–2015 school year.

This can't possibly have a downside.

Can it?

"They've used it for things like supplies, laptops, even tools for an automotive class."

"Sockets, ratchets, wrenches, pliers..."

Except that of course it has a downside.

Often, the money goes into the state's general fund.

From there, the money can be used for anything, which means the income from that "Education

Lottery" doesn't always end up in schools.

Even when states do allocate lottery money to education, legislators can factor all that

sweet lottery cash into the budget and start giving out fewer government funds.

In the end, education spending stays exactly the same — or gets worse.

According to Russ Lopez, the spokesman for the California Lottery:

"The California Lottery was created to supplement public schools.

Not to totally fund public schools, not to resolve all their problems.

[...] So we don't do a lot for schools; it's a modest contribution."

Retailer scams

Okay, the odds aren't great, and the wrong people are targeted, and schools don't actually

get much of anything.

But at least lotto winners get the fun of cashing in their tickets with no problems,

right?

Of course not.

Lottery retailers scam people all the time!

This isn't some ingenious, number-running business — it's a pretty simple con.

They just...lie.

Retailers will often take the winner's ticket and say, "This isn't a winner."

Then, the retailer keeps the ticket and cashes in the winnings.

It's not quite a brilliant scheme, but it works.

Several states have had to conduct sting operations on retailers where customers have complained.

The undercover cop gives the clerk a "marked" ticket and arrests them when they try to claim

the winnings.

"They found the store owner did scam the developmentally disabled woman out of her lottery winnings."

Sure, that undercover cop might not get the same bragging rights as the guy who, say,

infiltrated a Mexican cartel, but it does curb the rampant scamming.

Winning to lose

Even if everything else is bad about it, at least the lottery gives a new lease on life

for the few lucky ones that defy the odds and win millions.

Except, people don't usually do well with a sudden fortune.

Forbes reports that a third of lottery winners end up bankrupt, and many more suffer from

increased rates of depression, divorce, and suicide.

That's not to say that every lottery winner throws all their earnings away, but a lot

of them do.

Billie Bob Harrell, Jr. is a particularly sad example of winning gone wrong.

Harrell won $31 million, and only 20 months later he was broke and divorced, and eventually

killed himself.

Before he died, he said, "Winning the lottery is the worst thing that ever happened to me."

Man, the lottery sucks.

If you want to feel like a winner, there's a much better option out there:

"Make sure the mushroom's on top, and you put it in the hole.

Then just wait.

Jackprot!"

Liberals want to gut office of budget watchdog - Duration: 2:26.

Mr. Speaker, in order to achieve this greater independence from the parliamentary budget officer,

the Liberals have given the Speaker of the Senate veto power over his work plan. Who appoints the Speaker of the Senate?

According to section 34 of the Constitution, the prime minister.

So, by independence, the Prime Minister means that the parliamentary budget officer

will have to get prior approval to do his work from someone who is hand picked by the Prime Minister

Is that the member's definition of independence?

Mr. Speaker, what is clear is the member understands the intent of this government in that we do

believe that the parliamentary budget officer should have independence so that he can serve Parliament in the best way possible

We believe that we can improve the way and the resources to that office

As I have also said, we are open to amendments. We welcome constructive feedback

It is a very different approach than the previous government, obviously.

Well, the approach of the previous Conservative government was to set up the parliamentary budget officer

in a fashion that was independent, one of the reasons of which was to allow him or her to examine

political party platforms before elections are called to determine if they are in fact costed properly.

We know there has been a very severe problem with the Liberal costing in its last platform

In fact, it is about a $25 billion problem. Could it be that the Liberals are trying

to shut down the independence of the parliamentary budget officer before

their next political platform can be costed?

Mr. Speaker, we thank the parliamentary budget officer for his analysis of the provisions of Bill C-44

We look forward to working with him and others to improve the bill

to ensure we accomplish the objectives of an effective and independent parliamentary budget officer

Our government is committed to providing greater independence to the parliamentary budget officer

and this is the overriding intent of the legislation recently introduced in the House of Commons

We believe that it should be an officer who reports to Parliament, unlike the previous government

that felt it should report to the Library of Parliament.

A Gentle Reminder of Why You Want to Buy a Lotus - Duration: 2:15.

A Gentle Reminder of Why You Want to Buy a Lotus

At speed, there are long moments when a Lotus is just better than anything else out there.

Lotuses are not cheap, and its not like you get an exotic flat-six engine revving to 9000 rpm for your money.

In fact, choosing the fastest Lotus ever made will result in getting a car with no stereo, no air-conditioning and no rear visibility whatsoever. Yet none of that matters, because the product is brilliant.

It puts a massive smile on your face, and theres no going around that. The US-legal Evora 410 is 154 lbs. lighter than the excellent Evora 400, or 176 lbs.

lighter if you opt for the titanium exhaust. With its 410 supercharged horses and 310 ft-lb of torque, it will reach 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, hitting an aerodynamic wall at 190 mph.

Thats some serious speed, but whats even more important is the way it goes around corners. It does it like only a Lotus can, and thats a huge selling point.

Porsches and the like might be better road cars and faster around certain tracks. But nothing does the job quite like a Lotus.
