2 videos you’re probably going to want to watch
by Michael Wheeler
Here’s some Saturday morning videos that hint humanity may not be doomed after all.
1 Brigitte dePape Ted Talk
Yesterday Brigitte dePape was the top news story across Canada as “the rogue page” who silently interrupted the Throne Speech that kicked off the first day of the new Parliament.
Wouldn’t you know it – she’s also a theatre artist, performer and articulate advocate for the value culture can contribute to society. (Spoiler alert – she’s not talking the economic value artists bring low-income neighbourhoods, or tourist dollars mega-musicals bring in.) Check out this dramatic monologue/Ted Talk combo she performed as part of last year’s TEDxYouthOttawa. 1/2 way through the clip she finishes the monologue, throws on a dress and starts the Ted Talk part. Wow.
2 The Grand Rapids LipDub
Move over Thriller – there is a new “Greatest Music Video Ever“. Really, what’s not to love about this video? It is a major achievement both for a community and artistically. Now it is being credited with turning around the fortunes of Grand Rapids. Which, after you watch the video, makes total sense.
Trust me – take the full 10 minutes. Make a tea, or whatever it is you need to do to get comfortable and enjoy. Be careful around 6:22 – that’s when my beverage almost came out my nose.
If you have an inverter ‘ or install one – you can run almost
all of you electrical appliances using the photovoltaic laminate mats.
Nonetheless, there is a software package that has been developed to enable you seize just a couple of a lot
more seconds in your day, by not putting a single more hour on the clock but by engaging in some time consuming activity that will
give you this further time to acquire an advantage around your competition and place
you over the rest in your field. People might be uncomfortable being watched so will affect motivation, attitudes.
