The Six Blind Men and an Elephant | An Ancient Indian Story | Story in English | FPHS | #Shorts

This is a story about six blind men who  were invited to describe an elephant by   feeling different parts of its body. The man who  felt a leg said the elephant was like a pillar.   The one who felt the tail said it was like a rope.   The one who felt the trunk said the  elephant was like a branch of a tree.   The man who explored the ear said  the elephant was like a hand fan.   The one who moved his hands over  the belly said it was like a wall   and the one who felt the tusk said  the elephant was like a solid pipe.   Their teacher told them they were all  correct in their descriptions of the elephant   yet each had grasped only  a part and not the whole!.

BREAKING My 42 HOUR FAST With Vegan African Food| Come Cook With Me!

https://www.youtube.com/embed/y6kTpY10Bhk


What's good Dudzznation? What's good YouTube family? As always, man, sending you peace, love and life, good vibrations: all of that, man. So, right now I'm actually about to have my first whole meal after my 42 hour fast. First thing I did today was, I broke my fast with some pumpkin seeds and some dates and I did that for a very strategic reason. So, the reason I had the pumpkin seeds was because of the Zinc content and also the omega 3 fatty acid. Right now, as you guys know, I'm learning another language; I'm learning Ebo, which is very different from the languages that I speak right now. So, I need my brain to be functioning in tip top shape, right? And also, I did that because of protein since I haven't eaten for almost two days, I'm still working out, I ran yesterday.


I wanted to just give my body some amino acids and everything. Also, the dates; I also wanted that glycogen, sugar, magnesium and potassium and all that good stuff that the dates provide. Also, the main reason I chose the dates is because the dates actually promote digestive health. So, I'm very particular with what I put in my body, especially when I'm healing myself and, I'm giving myself a break. If you guys have been following for the past days you know that, for the first time in a long time, like, I noticed that I was bloating.


And the reason I was bloating is because I was eating too much food, I had been training like two times a day, and I didn't want to get skinny so I have been eating a lot. But consequently, you know what I'm saying, that was just not my body. So anyway man, I'm about to show you guys what I'm about to eat for my first official meal.


So this is it right here man. I know this is like a bunch of different stuff, right? But what I have right here, trust me. we are about to cook together, alright? So, I got some red cabbage, kale, I got some leftover wild rice right here, that I'm about to reheat on the stove. I've got some purple sea moss, burro bananas. This is on Dr. Sebi's list, but I hate it. We call this bannann, I've got pepper, I've got some old beans right here. And this right here, if you're not Haitian and don't know what this is or if you're not from the islands, this is called epis. So, this is something that we make in Haiti.


Also, a lot of countries in islands, alright, also make this and pretty much what this is is; this is the base of a lot of my meals and so I have cilantro here, parsley, garlic, olive oil, a bunch of different herbs and seasonings. If you guys want to see me make a video on this, then let me know and I might make it for you, okay? So, this is what it is right here, man, come cook with me and watch how we take these leftovers and make it into something better. So the first thing you got to do, of course, is to cut up the kale and the red cabbage.


Now, I'm not sure what I call this meal right here, but I just like to throw a bunch of different stuff together and then you know, it always turns out good... For the most part I'm about to actually get started on the rice. So, I'm going to add some alkaline spring water. Boom! Get the old rice right here. Pour it in there, you know what I'm saying? Boom! So I'm gonna turn that on. I hate gas guys, Alright, so while that's cooking, about Assad status. So the first thing I'm gonna do is spray some avocado oil on here as the base and the reason why I like avocado oil is because it has a high p threshold.


I'm going to turn on the fire with the avocado oil. Boom! So, the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm going to add probably two tablespoons of my Haitian epis. Oh! What am I doing man? This is a fork! Hold up! Let me get a spoon. Hold on let me get a spoon. Alright, boom! Alright! So, we've got that cooking while we get two tablespoons of epis. Drop it on the as the base and, I'm not lying, if you're Haitian and you grew up with epis you can comment down below and tell them just how good the house will be smelling when you put that fresh epis on the oil. It will smell amazing. So, it's sizzling right now. So that's sizzling. Alright, so a lot has been made. I'm going to cut the bannann or as we call it in Haiti, the plantain. So what you're going to notice is that a lot of times, I like to switch from Kreyol to English.


pexels-photo-958545.jpeg?auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&h=650&w=940

I'm not apologising Dutch Dashis not here Alright. So, I'm about to drop the veggies in there. It smells so good. Boom! Alright, so I'm gonna let that cook down for a little bit. And I'm gonna add the lid so it steams ight now. I got the fire on about a medium heat and am checking on the rice a That rice is smeling good too.


Okay, so the veggies have been cooking for a while, so I added my sea moss on to, with a bunch of spices. So I'm just gonna mix this up with the epis at the bottom. It's smells so good. So, in addition to the epis, I also added more garlic. And I also added some of this seasoning right here; Jollof Rice Seasoning. Shout out to all my Africans, shout out to all my Nigerians; Ndewo Alright. So, it's time to cut the bannann. This is one of my favourite foods right here. This is why I can't live in a place that's cold because I have to have my fresh fruits, tropical fruits and vegetables.


I can't do it, man. I can't go back to New York. I can't! I have to live somewhere where it's hot. Alright. So, pay very close attention to how I cut this plantain. So, I don't really like to cut it straight down unless I'm making bannann peze, which is something that we make in Haiti with green plantain where we fry it first and squish it down. This is bannann douce. So, what I'm going to do is: I'm gonna cut it at an angle. Everybody that's from Haiti right now knows exactly ( speaking Kreyol) That's ready. So, now I'm about to add the bannann. Yeah, I gotta be careful when I'm doing this because I might lose a... you know? Yeah, I might lose a hand man, this is gonna be hot, you know what I'm saying? Just add that in there So, boom! So, the plantain is done right now.


So, what I'm going to do is, I'm going to put a paper towel on just take off some of the excess oil. So, I would put some paper on it real quick and then I'm gonna press it over the top, just to get off some of the extra oil because I don't want too much oil on. Well going; it's almost done really. Alright! So, now I'm gonna add some pink Himalayan sea salt. For Haitians, we don't really measure things out. So, I don't know how much salt I'm putting. I just go by the spirit. I've got my spirit telling how much salt to put, how much oil, how much pepper.


Haitians don't really measure anything. So, boom! That's the bannann. So, now let me show you how this meal is about to Boom, guys! So, this is the final result. So, I have wild rice with some sweet peppers and peas, I have a vegetable Medley that are sauteed in my Haitian epis. And I have my bannann peze as we call it in Haiti, or sweet plantain. The only thing that this meal is missing is avocado. But, (Speaking Kreyol), this meal is gonna be amazing. This is my first whole meal after 42 hours of fasting. look... Alright, boom! So, this is the first meal. Gotta set my intentions straight. I'm going straight for that plantain. This is how your plate should be looking. There should be a bunch of different colours in your plate for different health benefits. Each herb has a certain organ affinity that helps different organs. This is the way that I love to eat. I love to eat like my ancestors.


You see, to me this is actual soulfood; food that makes the soul feel good. Ridiculous. That epis just adds such a great flavour with the sea moss because the sea moss is naturally salty. So, that's a really good mix. But anyway family, I'm about to get to work. If you've enjoyed this little video, make sure to like, comment and subscribe. Do everything that the YouTube is asking you guys to do. I'll see you guys in the next one,(speaking Kreyol). And, as always, stay blessed! Wait, you're still here? If you don't mind, go hit that notification bell, so you get notified every time I upload. If you hit that bell, I'll give you some bannann.


You know you want some. You smell it? Alright, man. Yeah, I gotta go now..

How H&M’s Recycling Machines Make New Clothes From Used Apparel | World Wide Waste

https://www.youtube.com/embed/obO1PKfXGpQ


these fibers are made from old clothes it's part of a process that can turn nearly any used fabric into something brand new and fashion retailer h m bets this solution could eventually recycle some of the billions of tons of textile waste produced every year but can a fast fashion company solve the problem it helped create we went to hong kong and sweden to find out most recycled textiles are turned into mattress stuffing or insulation and the original materials are scraps from the factory floor not used clothing but this facility inside a hong kong shopping mall is the first in the world to turn used clothes into new clothes all in one place first a technician like emily shao examines the garment so today we will recycle all garments this ozone chamber sanitizes the fabric in about an hour then emily removes the buttons labels and zippers and cuts the garment so the fabric is easy to work with the shredder strips the bits of cloth down further and then i will take off the open fabrics but this part of the process does require some new materials so we will add some virgin fibers into the yarns to make it stronger another machine mixes that cotton with the recycled skirt emily then rolls the mixed fibers into clumps and feeds them into a machine that turns them into what's called a fiber web but what happens next makes the assembly line in hong kong the first of its kind the fiber web gets bundled into these snake-like slivers the slivers are then spun into ply yarn the building blocks of a new garment finally a machine knits a new sweater based on a computer design shoppers pay about sixty five dollars to recycle clothing here how do we help consumers think about their clothes differently well that's one of the reasons why we have a glass box doing research in a shopping mall the h m foundation partnered with the hong kong research institute of textiles and apparel that investment allowed the company to license and install the technology at one of their stores in stockholm where the company's headquartered h m calls it the loop here shoppers pay only 18 dollars to see the recycling process in action that's about the price of a new pair of the brand's sweatpants how it comes out and then this is the only part that has to be removed virginia the technician trims the extra yarn and the garment is ready to go it takes three days to recycle one garment that seems like a lot of time and effort to turn a sweater into a new sweater that's because a factory like this that can recycle thousands of tons of clothes a day doesn't exist yet but h m says that eventually this kind of technology could be a global solution for textile waste the holy grail is a government to government recycling and that's for me where today most our investment going to but the fashion retailer continues to grow by selling cheap clothes to more and more people how often do you go and buy you maybe one time a week how big is your wardrobe it's like maybe half of my apartment well retail kings and queens she needs a walk-in closet yes but swedes aren't the biggest contributors to textile waste the average american spends over 1800 a year on new clothes and throws away 200 t-shirts worth of textiles every year people didn't always treat clothing as disposable fast fashion really took off in the 1990s thanks to polyester the synthetic fiber made from petroleum costs half as much as cotton i think very few people realize that most of the time today they're wearing plastic by the year 2000 polyester overtook cotton as the most popular fiber in the world that's the same year h m opened its first u.s store in new york city since then global clothing production has doubled and if nothing changes it will nearly double again by 2030 all that used apparel can end up in places like accra ghana which has one of the world's largest second-hand clothing markets every week 15 million garments pass through the contamanto market and nearly half of that goes to landfill is burned or gets swept into waterways we've completely devalued what clothing is clothing is now disposable and i don't know how we come back from treating it like a plastic bag or like a plastic bottle liz ricketts has spent over a decade documenting how used clothes from wealthy countries are exported around the world the clothing that's going to landfill a lot of it is wearable and a lot of the waste comes from familiar brands it's definitely the top 10 which are what you would expect i mean it's h m and zara m s adidas nike gap it would take the loop recycling machine almost 50 000 years to deal with just one week's worth of waste from the market you can't really convince yourself that creating clothing but doing it better is somehow going to solve this issue that there's simply too much clothing still h m executives say they're serious about scaling up recycling the company has set a goal of using only recycled polyester by the end of the decade we have developed together with one congreta a machine called the green machine the h m foundation invested 12 million dollars into technologies like this machine that recycles polyester and plans to build a larger factory that can recycle over three thousand pounds of clothes per day but hk rita ceo admits that recycling has a long way to go before it can make a dent in the industry's growing waste output the commercial scale useful recycling systems have to be in the order of magnitude of at least thousands of tons a day today less than one percent of used clothing is recycled into new garments it is clear to us that we don't have a lot of time we have this danger of doing too little too late experts say that recycling can never solve the problem of textile waste brands have basically convinced citizens that we have a waste problem because we don't have recycling technology that is not that is not why we have a waste problem it's only going to be solvable if we confront growth and if companies stop over producing h m has no plans to reduce production of new clothing we are a gross company our ambition is how do we make that growth being meaningful and consumers can do their part by buying less and holding on to their current wardrobe longer we always recommend that people take a year off of buying anything new even hk rita's ceo recognizes recycling alone can't solve the problem the companies that manufacture clothes will need to change the way they do business and that is what keeps him up at night my nightmare my nightmare scenario in the industry is that we are satisfied we're happy with very modest goals but that doesn't really do anything for anybody and then we'll be accused of greenwashing and by and large it'll be true you
