To raise leaders and managers they must have creative potential.
Creative potential is given only when a person loves women.
Homosexuality does not give creative potential.
And this cannot be replaced by any internship, no matter how great the organization is.
You are going to be relatively better than other ruling elites in terms of knowledge.
But when it comes to life... You are always going to lose.
You don't have the creativity. Because you are gay.
That's it. Circle closed. There is nothing you can do.

Destiny Lore Do Guardians Age? - Duration: 7:46.
"This may not make sense to you, but it took your fight to remind me that immortality
is not the same as invincibility."
Welcome back Guardians, by far my favorite scene from the Destiny 2 gameplay reveal was
the cutscene involving Zavala as he is revived from a crashed ship and journeys towards the
Traveler.
If you are anything like me, I instantly recognized the character as a "young Zavala", before
any other context was giving, my mind said, this is a young version of Zavala… but why,
Guardians don't age right?
Well that is what we are going to discuss in today's Destiny Lore episode and we will
also discuss how this scene very cleverly portrays a "young" Zavala without contradicting
the Lore of Destiny.
If you are watching this video within the first two hours of release, or between 7 and
9pm EST US, I currently live streaming over on Twitch, today is Lore stream day, feel
free to come and join.
This is myelin games, I hope you enjoy this latest Destiny Lore episode.
[INTRO] Before getting into analyzing the Zavala video,
lets answer the question, do Guardians Age?
I believe the answer to be no and here is why.
In the Rise of Iron campaign, Lord Saladin says this,
"This may not make sense to you, but it took your fight to remind me that immortality
is not the same as invincibility."
I believe Saladin's reference to immortality is him referencing the ageing process, dying
of natural causes and that he is making the distinction between this and being killed
by someone i.e. invincibility.
Saladin understood that Guardians could be killed (under certain circumstances), yet
they could also live forever i.e. immortal, especially if you avoided all conflict.
So why then, does Saladin have grey hairs, well this is what stumped me the first time
I looked into this idea, and I was promptly corrected by subscribers that Saladin likely
had grey hair at the time of being revived for the very first time.
He was already old when he was revived.
This is supported by the cut scenes in Rise of Iron that have large amounts of time between
them.
For example, the cutscene with the replication chamber is much earlier in our history and
yet Saladin has the same number of grey hairs.
Furthermore Efrideet has kept her extraordinarily young appearance and voice over a very long
period of time.
In fact, Efrideet even confirms that Guardians do not age in the Iron Banner dialogue, she
says, "To me, the Iron Banner is a way to prepare
yourself for your unique purpose.
And without purpose, all of our strange, wonderful powers are meaningless.
After I left the Banner, my agelessness felt like a burden.
Only when I found new purpose was I able to make good use of my powers again."
—Lady Efrideet Now, not aging presents an interesting dilemma
for Guardians, in an era dominated by conflict, I imagine you would look to senor Guardians
as mentors, people to provide wisdom about how to stay alive but this is quite hard to
do because Guardians don't age, you cannot recognize senor Guardians by their appearance
only.
For example, Efrideet, despite her appearance, she is a highly experienced Guardian.
This exact dilemma plays out in the Ghost Fragment: Titan grimoire card which reads,
/ A Ghost without a Guardian.
I remember when I was risen, you know.
When I woke in that wreckage, to see my Ghost hovering there, its light in my eyes, like
an angel.
And it said - / This story again.
/ Disrespectful youngster.
/ Youngster?
I could be older than you, Tibon!
Once again, this reinforces that you cannot tell a guardians age by their appearance.
Also, it reinforces how Guardians lose their previous memory, this Guardian does not know
how old they are.
Sooo… why did my mind play a trick on me, why did I automatically assume I saw a young
Zavala in the Destiny 2 gameplay reveal, the more I thought about this topic, the more
I thought, Bungie goofed up they definitely showed Zavala aging.. when they shouldn't,
so I obviously watched the trailer again and again, checking Zavala's face for any signs
of aging, and then I realized the cleaver way that Bungie presented a young Zavala.
So, if you watch the trailer, Zavala's face does not show any signs of ageing from the
moment he is resurrected to current day… then again, Zavala was a pretty safe choice,
he literally has no hair on his head or face, with the exception of his eyebrows.
The way bungie portrayed a young Zavala was through his armor.
When he is first resurrected he is wearing all white armor, a color that we instantly
associate with common armor, armor that reflects our own journey as Guardians, there is nothing
fancy about this armor, there is nothing glamorous, in fact it even just looks like an astronaut's
suit.
Like all Guardians wearing this gear, you die pretty quickly.
As you mature, as age, you get better gear, and of course you can kick more fallen but…
but of course, you are going to die a couple of times.
This theme continues, and we see Zavala become more powerful as he dons more powerful armour.
This leads all the way up to Zavala donning his current gear set, clearly more powerful
and considerably more bulky in comparison to his previous armor.
Maybe you guys already noticed this, but I had to watch the video a couple of times to
really understand how they created the impression of young Zavala, aging and developing into
the powerful Vanguard Commander we see today.
That concludes this latest Destiny Lore episode, if you would like to support the channel,
leave the word "Zavala!" to acknowledge that awesome cutscene showing the development
of Zavala into a mighty Titan.
As usual, it has been a pleasure this is myelin games.
Peace.

Tax Avoidance | White Man Behind A Desk - Duration: 9:14.
Kia ora, my name is Robbie and I'm another white man behind a desk, and we are live at
BATS theatre in Wellington!
This is a place that leans so far to the left it's struggling to meet earthquake requirements.
Now, in the last 50 years, wealth inequality has risen pretty steeply here in New Zealand.
And whether you think that's a good thing or a bad thing—this episode is about one
major factor contributing to that rise: New Zealand's tax system.
Now, obviously I don't have time to break down all of the details of New Zealand's
tax system, and also I don't want to because I enjoy the will to live.
But what I can do is run through a few ways that rich people are legally avoiding tax,
and do it in a fun way that distracts this audience from the fact that they could
have gone to a comedy show without a single tax monologue at all.
Now, tax is essential!
And yet, for some reason, people don't like it.
What with tax fraud, tax evasion, tax avoidance, and tax mitigation, people have gotten very clever
at dodging tax - and it's great to see our taxpayer-funded education being put to such
good use.
Multinational corporations get a bad rap for paying zero tax.
But that's not fair, in 2016 ExxonMobil paid negative fourteen million dollars in
tax.
And that is a different number.
But multinational corporations pay fancy accountants huge amounts of money, so when I'm talking
about tax avoidance, I want to make it super clear that I'm not talking about honest,
hardworking kiwis.
Or am I!
It turns out that rich kiwis don't like tax either.
And if you're a rich person, one of the best ways to pay less tax is to buy property,
instead of putting your money into places where it gets taxed - like banks or new businesses.
When it comes to housing, people basically fall into one of two categories.
There are those who see house prices skyrocket and cry, and those who see house prices skyrocket
and cheer, crack bottles of champagne, and burn effigies of Michael Joseph Savage.
In the interests of protecting the first group of people from the second, most Western governments
have a capital gains tax to discourage property speculation.
A capital gains tax means if you earn a profit when you sell your property - you pay tax
on that profit.
In the same way that you pay a tax when you earn money in every other way.
In 2014, the Labour Party bootycalled their
capital gains tax policy for another night of passion.
Outrage swept the nation at the prospect of the 'family home' being taxed.
"The family home?!"
People cried.
"You can't tax something with the word family in it!"
Federated Farmers basically called the tax indecent and David Parker a pervert for even
bringing it up.
The Labour Party failed to gain support for their capital gains tax policy, despite the
fact that it never actually included the family home.
In 2015 National introduced a tax on residential homes, excluding the family home, sold within
two years - but in every other case the loophole remained.
If you earn $50,000 from your job, you pay 30% income tax.
If you earn $50,000 from selling a house, you won't.
And in all fairness, why should you pay tax on that money?
After all, it's not like you did anything to earn it.
Now, some people think of these sorts of taxes as just, like, an excuse to punish the rich, so,
again, I just want to make a second point really clear: I am not saying that you should be taxed just because
you own a lot of stuff.
Or am I!
Already, the Opportunities Party, or "the Green Party with less political experience",
has proposed a tax - that's right - they've proposed a tax on one of the best ways to earn money:
already being rich.
Now, I know what you're thinking!
"But wait, Robbie!
We have a progressive" - this is you - "But wait! We have a progressive tax rate!
If you earn more money, you pay more tax!"
And that's true, audience.
But there's a problem - it turns out that just having money saves you quite a lot of
money.
Firstly, it's expensive to be poor.
When you're poor, you can't buy in bulk, you're unlikely to be able to claim things
as a business expense, and because you pay off debt slowly, your debt costs more.
You pay more relative GST than rich people, because you spend a higher percentage of your
earnings on the things you need to live, and that's not even taking into account the
fact that you can't afford good investments or a fancy accountant.
But, when you're rich - not only can you put your money into investments like property,
you also get to save money by living inside that investment.
You get to live, for free, inside a building that's increasing in value by up to a thousand
dollars a week, while you sit in it!
It's like a money machine with complementary bedrooms.
Meanwhile, stupid poor people are paying rent!
Ya gotta think it through, guys.
There are countless ways that owning "equity" or "stuff" helps you get wealthier.
Unfortunately, we normally only tax money when it moves - when you earn it or when you spend it.
We don't like to tax money that just sits there - being owned by rich people, granting them
financial benefits.
Which is why countries like France, Norway, and Switzerland have something called the
equity tax.
Now the equity tax can be a little confusing, so here's an analogy: Imagine you're in
a flat, and you're running low on mugs.
So your flat decides to create a tax; from now on, it costs money to take mugs into your
room.
The problem is, as it turns out, the reason you were running low on mugs is because David
already has 50 mugs in his god damn room.
DAVID: You what, mate?
ROBBIE: That is my flatmate, David, and...
*applause*
I have to say, the monologue is not gonna get better for him
from here on in.
You see, there's no tax for the mugs that David already has.
I mean what do you even do with 50 mugs?!
Are ya sleeping on the mugs, David?
Now you're probably already feeling a little pissed off at David.
I mean, he's got 50 mugs, and you're living hand to mouth on one teacup, and you're taxed
every time you take it into your room.
But in the real economy, being wealthy gives you financial benefits.
Which means in this analogy, David's mugs are actually making more mugs.
The boy mugs are rooting the girl mugs and David's just sitting there watching them
breed.
Now, admittedly, this metaphor is not perfect. A lot of rich people earned their
money by working hard, and they got taxed every time they took mugs into their room.
They worked hard for their mugs, and they paid their tax.
But, also, lots of them didn't.
New Zealand has an estate tax of literally zero percent, which means David might have
just inherited those fifty mugs from his dad, and in the process he didn't pay a dime
of tax.
So to sum up: let's imagine that a mug is a million dollars - David got fifty million
from his dad for doing nothing, and paid zero tax.
While you got twenty bucks an hour for working hard, and paid tax on every cent.
Then David got the benefits of owning that fifty mill, and paid zero tax on any of those
benefits.
Then he invested that money into property, made a profit on that property, and paid zero
tax on that.
Then, one day, David decided to buy a multinational corporation, charged the profits to the Cayman
Islands branch of David Incorporated, and once again paid zero fucking tax.
At this point, you sort of want to kick David out of the flat.
I don't.
Currently 10% of Davids own
50% of New Zealand's wealth - and Statistics New Zealand suggests that wealth inequality
is growing.
We could have an estate tax, a capital gain tax, and an equity tax, or we could watch
David roll around in his ever-expanding mug orgy.
Frankly, it's up to you.
If you want to vote, go for it.
David wouldn't miss it for the world.

played by peter mayhew, peter
was seven foot two inches tall
which is very tall and this
cosutme is very interesting,
it's basically a burlapse sac
and upon that burlapse sac is
sewn about 15 pounds of yak
hair, that would be really hot
it does get really really hot
and they actually have a
solution to that and the
solution was for peter to wear
this cooling vest which you
see here in this case right
there, so cold water would be
ciruculating throughout that
with the attempt to keep
peter cooler on set when he
was playing chewbaccaand
really that is what this
exhibit is about, peeling back
the layers of the onion, the
story behind the story, and we
have another story about
chewbacca, yeah we're really
about concept to creation, and
so basically back in the early
days of star wars, george
lucas was really trying to
figure out an inspiration for
chewbacca, and what he told
his graphic artist was to
think about my dog indiana,
which was his alaskan malamute
at the time and so they really
took inspiration originally
from his dog indiana and
started to create concept
after concept eventually
getting to the point where he
kind of looks like chewbacca
today so indiana the dog, the
original wookiei think that's
probably appropriate yesone of
the many stories here at the
cincinnati museum center for
this brand next exhibit that
premieres tomorrowfor more

signs it
was being used --mattresses on
the
floor and the back door was
open. It
appears the fire started on the
porch.
Steve Huffman, MFRD Spokesman:
there's a
possibility it could have been
accidental there's also a
possibility it could
have been set we have some
evidence
to analyze that could tell us
one way or the
other.
Chad: while no one was
physically hurt.
Ariel Williams is emotionally
hurt--this is the home she says
she grew up in. She
doesn't like to see the damage
but has few
words for the neighborhood
Ariel Williams, Grew up in
burned home:
this place to me is nothing
because
there's nothing but drugs down
here and
people complain but a majority
of these folks
down here do drugs, it's hell,
if you're down
here it's hell
Chad: Neighbors say this fire
adds to the
empty homes here that can be a
magnet
for problems.
Ariel Williams, Grew up in
burned home: if
you're not known down here you
walk down here at night you're
looking to get robbed.
Chad: Neighbors hope something

Kate Debate: Is It Duchess Kate, Princess, Duchess , Catherine , Middleton Or Something Else? - Duration: 3:15.
Prince William's wife has a ton of names that's for sure.
Duchess Kate's (or is it Princess Kate?) are constantly changing.
It depends on some factors: the occasion, England�s ruler at the time, the region
Middleton's in, or what tabloid is covering a story about her.
Even with an official royal document bearing her name, the Great Kate Debate thrives, and
there appears to be little consensus.
Let's begin shall we?
Wills' wife was born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton.
William even calls his spouse of four years Catherine when referring to her.
According to a Marie Claire report, the former socialite took on the name Kate during her
adolescent years.
Today, depending on the publication, her name can take on several layers, according to a
Marie Claire report.
One tabloid may refer to Middleton as Princess Kate while another calls her the Duchess of
Cambridge.
And it gets wonky when she travels across the United Kingdom.
For instance, when Will and Kate are in Ireland, they are referred to as Baron and Baroness
of Carrickfergus in Ireland.
However, the royal pair is called Earl and Countess of Strathearn in Scotland.
Imagine that?
According to the British Monarchy official website, which refers to the young royals
as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the surname of the Royal Family is Mountbatten-Windsor.
"Members of the Royal Family can be known both by the name of the Royal House and by
a surname, which are not always the same.
And often they do not use a surname at all."
According to Good Housekeeping, the decision on what to call The Duchess gets complicated
more complicated.
"Catherine won't be Her Royal Highness Catherine, Princess of Wales until William becomes the
Prince of Wales after his father takes the throne.
Once Prince William becomes King, she will become Her Majesty Queen Consort Catherine
VI."
And, if that's not confusing enough, it's acceptable to call Kate Middleton Catherine
Cambridge or Catherine Mountbatten-Windsor.
Things that make you go, "what is really going on here?"
The easy answer lies within a simple document that was completed without duress: Prince
George's birth certificate.
Recently, when the cheeky little cherub's document surfaced, Kate's name was signed
as "Princess."
That should clear things up, right?
Apparently, not; there are many variations of Middleton's name, depending on the audience
and what region of the globe she's in at the time.
So, what will you call The Duke's wife: Princess Kate, Her Royal Highness, The Duchess Of Cambridge,
Catherine Elizabeth, K Middy or something else?
tell us your thoughts in comments below.

Ashtabula residents shaken by teen's murder organize block watch - Duration: 2:04.
Court documents show that the 13
year old murder victim's father
owed a drug
debt of 3 thousand dollars. And
investigators say that may have
played
a role in the girl's death.
First News Reporter Amanda Smith
talked to Ashtabula neighbors
who knew

Amanda Smith, WKBN 27 First News
People in Ashtabula have been
reeling
these last weeks, first as news
came that Kara Zdanczewski's
was missing, gone off with a
family friend. Then her body
was found - and the
suspect in the case is a
registered sex offender.
Nicholas Vocca-"SHE'S 13, HE'S
46, AND YOU LET HER GO ALL
NIGHT WITH
HIM. NOTHING SEEMED RIGHT FROM
THE GET GO. AND EVERY TIME
YOU TURN AROUND THERE IS MORE TO
THE STORY THAT'S COMING OUT."
Amanda Smith, WKBN 27 First News
Before the court sealed the
case, a
Cleveland media outlet obtained
an affidavit saying accused
murderer
John Bove
took the girl from her home. The
station reported he meant to
trade her
safety for the debt. But her
burned body was found in a
field.
Bove and three other people have
been charged in connection to
the case.
That news is being discussed
online, and in the streets.
Cathy Pallaise and Jennifer
Farley run one of those groups
and a blockwatch in
the neighborhood where several
of the suspects live.
Pallaise says they run the group
as a community service.
Cathy Pallaise, ASHTABULA -
"KEEPING THE COMMUNITY SAFE.
TRY AND HELP THE LAW. LAW
ENFORCEMENT CAN'T BE
EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME. SO WE
ARE KIND OF LIKE THEIR EYES AND
EARS. IF WE SEE SOMETHING WE
REPORT IT."
Amanda Smith: In response to the
recent events, they've
organized a community meeting to
explain ohio's sex offender
laws.
Jennifer Farley, Ashtabula- "WE
DID GO THROUGH AND DO A SEX
OFFENDER SEARCH FOR OUR AREA.
AND I PERSONALLY POSTED EACH
OFFENDER." Amanda Smith, WKBN 27
First News I asked Farley if she
thought police are done with the
investigation.
Jennifer Farley, Ashtabula- "OH
NO. OH NO. I BELIEVE THERE WILL
BE A
FEW MORE ARRESTS AFTER THE GRAND
JURY."

"If you are lucky, you go from a movie fan to a movie maker." -Kevin Smith
If you don't already know my name is Tony but I am also known as ARC Crow here on the internet.
I am trying to transform myself into a hero
One of the ways that I am doing that is by taking a close look at the people that I idolize,
as well as, the heroes in pop culture, literature, and wherever else I can find them.
Today I am revisiting the man I did my very first hero profile on.
Kevin Smith!
I knew at the time that I did it that I would eventually come back to talk about one of my biggest inspirations.
The reasons I have for that are too numerous for me to get into in this video.
but chief among them is that I knew he was going to continue to inspire me in new and different ways.
Kevin Smith is continuing to have the kind of career that I dream of having.
He was once told, "Kevin, it's not about making movies with your friends."
His response
"Really?
That's been the whole point of my career."
He has proved that statement to be true time and time again.
It seems what he really wants to do is show just off his friends and family to the entire world.
He does through the numerous podcasts that he hosts with his friends
and sometimes he gets them their own TV show.
He also has a habit of putting his family in movies.
It started with his mother's cameo in his first film and moved on to his wife and to his daughter.
Not many people can get away with writing a directing a movie to specifically star their
offspring but that doesn't seem to be a problem that Smith has.
He has almost always put what he wants to do before what, in the studio's minds, would give him the most commercial success.
As a result of this behavior, he hasn't really had any "big blockbuster" films,
but his films do one thing consistently.
They turn a profit.
And that is how Kevin Smith gets away with doing pretty much what it is he wants to do.
None of the Kevin Smith movies, even the ones considered flops for him, have lost money.
He has proved he has an audience, myself included, that are going to show up to support him in what he does.
Now I can't speak to the motives of his entire audience, but for myself I keep showing up because
he makes great stuff and I like who he is as a person.
Considering how much content he puts out as himself, like his speaking engagements, multiple podcasts,
highly active twitter feed, and even his own YouTube channel here,
It would be hard thing for him to hide who he really is
so I can say that I like the man with a fair degree of certainty.
He is a great funny guy.
who loves his family and his friends.
He's an artist who makes what he wants to make how he wants to make it and he's supportive
of other artists who do the same.
At the same time, Kevin Smith is not the most agreeable "Mr. Nice Guy" personality
nor is he a pushover.
If there is something he doesn't like or feels like he is being treated unfairly you
can expect to hear about it through one of his multiple outlets.
There is so much more I could talk about that I might have to revisit Smith again in the future.
But for now, I just want to say…
Kevin Smith, you are my hero!
The question of the day: Do you have a favorite Kevin Smith movie?

("Claremont Graduate University Fanfare")
("Grand March")
(crowd cheering)
- Welcome.
My name is Donald Baker,
I serve as Past Chair over the Board of Trustees
at Claremont Graduate University.
On behalf of the Board,
it is my pleasure to welcome you
to CGU's 90th Annual Commencement.
If the audience would please stand,
I would like to call upon
the Dean of the School of Arts and Humanity's
Patrick Mason to give the invocation.
- We're gathered here today
to commemorate and celebrate this tremendous achievement.
Let us offer a thanks to those who have made it possible
for us to be here.
Let us offer thanks to the students who have worked
so hard in the pursuit of knowledge.
Let us offer thanks to the faculty
who have applied their expertise
in the training and mentoring of students.
Let us offer thanks to the parents and grandparents
and spouses and siblings and children
who supported students along the way.
Now as we go forth,
let us offer our knowledge in the service
of our communities, of our nation, and the world.
Let us offer our knowledge and the service
of the benefit of all humankind,
that we may achieve a world of greater justice,
and peace, and compassion.
Now let us celebrate today
in kinship and friendship,
and go forward to serve the world.
We offer this in the name of all that is good,
and true, and beautiful.
Thank you.
- It is now my great pleasure to introduce the
Interim President of Claremont Graduate University,
Jacob Adams, he will conduct the commencement ceremony.
- Thank you Mr. Baker, everyone please sit down.
Good morning everyone.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, faculty, staff,
and students of Claremont Graduate University,
it is my pleasure to welcome the candidates we honor today
as the graduating class of 2017.
It is exciting to be here with you today,
and it's a particular pleasure
to welcome your families and friends.
There is no prouder day for a president, a provost,
faculty advisor, or support staff than commencement,
when we celebrate the remarkable achievements
of our graduating students.
With your graduate degrees,
you represent the power and potential of intellect,
passion, and discipline to advance knowledge
and improve the world.
Congratulations from all of us,
who have supported you in this journey,
and who applaud and support your hopes today.
One more time.
As we get underway,
I want to acknowledge the platform party,
which includes Claremont Graduate University's trustees,
deans, and directors, faculty, and senior staff,
who are listed in the commencement program.
We are here today in part because of their contributions
to making this university the outstanding research
and learning environment that brought you
to this special moment.
I also wish to recognize our honored guests,
whom you will meet later in the ceremony.
Steven Koblik, Lisa Seacat DeLuca,
Barbara Semans, and Oliver Semans,
these exceptional individuals are well known
for their many accomplishments.
They stand as a beacon for those who want
to understand better how the world works,
and to use that knowledge to make the world a better place.
I am delighted that they are with us today.
At the end of today's ceremony,
those of you graduating will become members
of CGU's alumni community.
It is a distinguished group you join.
For example, last night,
Gloria Willingham-Toure and Jack Cuzick
received CGU's Distinguished Alumni Awards.
You may read in your programs about their outstanding
contributions, and you will hear from them later,
during today's ceremony.
Now it is time for a very special award
and, frankly, a big surprise,
because the winner has no clue what's about to happen here.
17 years ago, Pamela Mullin and her children created
the Pamela M. Mullin Dream and Believe Award
with an endowment gift to the University.
The award provides a generous stipend that enables
a continuing doctoral student to follow his or her
dream to make the world a better place.
Tim and Becky Mullin will now present
the Pamela M. Mullin Award on behalf of the Mullin Family.
- As some of you may know,
this is the first year that my wife Rebecca and I
have given this award on our own without my mother here.
It's with mixed feelings that we accept this responsibility.
It's sad because of my mother's knack for giving eloquent,
heartfelt speeches about the emotional decision
of choosing today's winner,
yet somehow happy because we get to stand here
and take the credit ourselves.
When Rebecca and I reviewed the candidates,
we both quickly came to the same conclusion.
The winner showed the same perseverance
that my mother did throughout her life,
and which inspired the Dream and Believe Award.
I will turn it over to my wife Rebecca
to announce the winner,
and we would also like to present this award in
loving memory of my sister Courtney Mullin,
who was one of the world's great dreamers.
- Hi.
Elwing Gonzales, in recognition of your exceptional
commitment to improving the wellbeing of all people,
your belief in the power of education to transform lives,
your ambition to foster a better understanding
of the conflicts affecting local communities,
your dream to leave a significant mark on this world,
even as you touch the hearts of many people,
and for the inspiration you provide to us all,
Claremont Graduate University is pleased and honored
to present you with the 2017 Pamela M. Mullin
Dream and Believe Award,
an award recognizing that dreams, in addition to learning,
knowledge, and wisdom, truly matter.
- [Woman] You go, girl!
(all laughing)
(audience applauding)
- I'm betting those won't be the only tears we see today.
(chuckling)
It is now my pleasure to introduce our commencement speaker,
Jack Cuzick, an individual of many talents,
who wears many hats,
as a pioneer in cancer researcher,
as Commander of the Order of the British Empire,
so honored by Queen Elizabeth II,
and as one of our own,
a graduate of CGU's doctoral program in mathematics.
For many years, Jack has served on the front lines
of cancer research and prevention.
He is today the Director of the Wolfson Institute
of Preventative Medicine,
and the Head of the Center For Cancer Prevention,
as well as the John Snow Professor of Epidemiology
at Queen Mary University of London.
Honored graduates, family, friends, and guests,
please join me in welcoming Jack Cuzick.
- President Adams, trustees,
distinguished graduates and their guests,
I'm delighted to be back in Claremont
to accept this wonderful award.
I was graduated in the first class that did mathematics here
in 1974, and it's great to see the place is still
vibrant and alive and kicking.
Now what can I actually say to a class of graduates
that have done so many, have so many different interests?
Well, my own personal
voyage has really been one of,
I think, studies of discovery and trying to find
the boundaries between different subjects,
where I think most of the action is.
Personally, I started off as a mathematician,
was trained in mathematics here,
I did, became a professor at Columbia,
and Oxford before I then really took up medical things,
reasons for that are really, are complicated,
I won't go into all of those,
but I've always found that the excitement and the place
to be is between the boundary of two subjects,
and the boundary between medicine and mathematics
is very much clinical trials,
learning how to evaluate how their new treatments work,
and then a subsequent boundary that I spent
most of my time in is recognizing that epidemiology
tries to figure out what causes diseases, including cancer,
clinical trials are mostly focused on the treatment
of those diseases, and the boundary which nobody had really
spent very much time on is how do we prevent disease,
and how do we find new treatments and approaches that
will actually prevent cancer and other diseases,
and this a mixture of the mathematical skills
of actually running clinical trials plus the medical
knowledge of knowing how to put these things together,
and that's served me very, very well.
We've continued to do new things,
and I continue to be excited about that.
One of our more recent discoveries,
which I think is going to change things enormously,
is one of the new approaches to cancer prevention.
I think everybody knows the single most important thing
to avoid to not get cancer, I'm sure everybody knows that,
it's obviously avoiding smoking.
But what's emerging now is the second most important thing,
which probably nobody knows,
is to take a low dose aspirin for about 10 years
between 50, 65 and 70,
and the evidence from these trials,
it's really quite interesting,
is that these trials were mostly done to look at the role
of low dose aspirin on preventing heart disease,
for which it is effective,
and for which the trial showed clear answers
in about five years.
Nothing happens in terms of cancer in those first
five years, but after that, there's a huge thing that,
a huge benefit that actually occurs.
So by going back to those trials and looking
at the long term follow up,
we actually found that there's a 1/3 reduction in
colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, and esophageal cancer,
plus small benefits for breast, colon, and prostate cancer.
If you put that all together, a low dose,
a simple low dose aspirin can prevent 10% of all cancers,
which is the second most important thing you can do,
and I'm very excited about trying to make that something
that everybody knows and does.
My newest adventure, which I'm taking up at my,
at my age, is we're just setting up a center
for the prevention of chronic neurologic diseases,
this is Parkinson's Disease, Alzheimer's,
and all of these areas.
(crowd cheering)
Thank you.
I'm pleased to see your excitement in this area,
this is an area that's understudied.
We know a lot about how to prevent heart disease now,
we're learning about how to prevent cancer,
but the challenge of our generation is to do something
about Alzheimer's disease,
other dementias and Parkinson's disease,
and we're just undertaking, just beginning that,
it's a whole new area for me, I'm not a neurologist,
so, I've got a lot to learn and I look forward to that.
So, my charge is to you is,
your degree is a great start,
but see that as the beginning, go out and use that.
In my particular field,
I changed and took my mathematical skills
and applied them to medicine.
Find an area which is underdeveloped,
that's a boundary between what you know and what you'd
like to know, and go for that with all your heart.
So, best wishes to you all,
I'm delighted to be here and back in Claremont,
and all best wishes to you graduates.
Thank you very much.
- It is now my pleasure to introduce our student speaker,
an individual who has spent a career working
on the front lines in education.

Krystana holds a Master of Arts degree in education
from CGU, and today we will confer upon her
the Doctor of Philosophy degree in education.
Please join me in welcoming Krystana Walks-Harper.
- Thank you.
Good morning distinguished guests, faculty, staff,
families, and graduates.
My mother was born five years after
Claremont Graduate University celebrated
its first commencement.
She was the oldest of four siblings,
and lived with her parents in Guyana, South America.
Her mother, my grandmother,
became ill with what we would now describe as
postpartum depression shortly after the birth
of my mother's younger sister.
The family unit disintegrated,
and my grandmother took her four children back
to live with her mother and an aunt in a one room house.
The family sank into abject poverty.
The only source of income came from the items that
my mother's aunt knitted and sold to tourists.
During those days,
schoolchildren were sent home to eat lunch.
My mother recalls so many days when there was nothing
to eat at home for breakfast, lunch, and sometimes dinner.
She and her brothers and sister just walked back
to school for the afternoon session.
It was on one of those school days that a secretary
noticed that they were hungry.
She connected the family to a local food pantry,
and although they were still poor,
life got a little bit better.
My mother was eventually able to earn a scholarship
to a private girls' school in Guyana.
This led to a scholarship at the University
of Southern California, and later,
a fellowship here at Claremont Graduate School,
as it was known at the time.
My mother earned a master's degree in education,
and went on to teach, and later became a principal.
She also taught classes here at CGU
in the Teacher Education Program.
My father also graduated from USC,
earned his master's degree here at the School of Theology,
and became a Presbyterian minister.
We often say that education changes lives.
In my family, education saved lives, too.
My mother and her siblings became citizens,
and have contributed to the strength of this great nation.
We are immigrants,
and as so many who have come before and since.
(audience cheering)
As so many who have come before and since, we work hard,
and are proud of this country that we call home.
We raise our children with a value system,
which at its core, is about earning, not taking,
and serving, not standing by.
Immigrants are a significant part
of the strength of this nation,
and in these troubling times,
all of us have a duty to lift up and encourage our
young people, who are working so hard for the education
that can not only change their lives,
but may indeed save their lives.
Education also reaches forward.
We celebrate this 90th Commencement today,
and in a few days my mother will celebrate
her 85th birthday.
I know I'm in trouble for telling everyone how old she is.
(audience laughing)
She was married for over 50 years to her loving husband
and our amazing dad.
We are seven siblings, 17 grandchildren,
and 7 great grandchildren.
All seven siblings are college graduates,
and three of us served our country in the military.
Four of us have master's degrees,
and I am now the second one to be called doctor.
All of our adult children are college educated,
to include bachelor's degrees, master's degrees,
medical doctor, and attorney.
This is the American dream that calls so many
to these United States.
We, all of us, have an obligation to answer with empathy,
understanding, courage, and respect.
Thank you.
- Thank you, Krystana.
This morning, in the great traditions of the University,
we confer honorary degrees upon four individuals

- [Goode] Steven S. Koblik.
For more than four decades,
you have served as a steadfast guardian
of humanity's highest aspirations in education,
art, and culture.
As a Professor of History at Pomona College,
and at Claremont Graduate University,
you taught and inspired generations of students.
As Dean of the Faculty at Scripps College,
you secured the highest standards of academic achievement.
As President of Reed College,
you tripled that school's endowment,
empowered its community,
and advanced the ideals and benefits of liberal education.
For most, that record of achievement
would be more than enough,
but you accepted an additional role as President of the
Huntington Library Art Collections and Botanical Gardens.
And in that capacity, during your 15 year tenure,
you led that institution into an era of prosperity
and scholarly and popular enrichment.
Steven S. Koblik, because of your accomplishments
and devotion to higher education,
because each institution you shepherded grew and thrived,
because your service to one of civilization's richest
artistic heritages stands as a beacon for all those
who follow, upon the recommendation of the faculty,
and with approval of the Board of Trustees
of Claremont Graduate University,
we confer upon you the degree
of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa,
with all the rights and privileges appertaining thereto.
- Will Barbara and Oliver Semans please step forward
for conferral of the honorary degrees.
- Oliver and Barbara Semans.
In our democracy, to cast a vote is to use one's voice.
Together, you have expanded the voice of Native nations
by protecting their right to vote.
As co-Executive Directors of the organization
Four Directions,
you created a focus and developed a platform
for voting rights from South and North Dakota,
to Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Minnesota, and beyond.
Four Directions takes its name from the Lakota culture's
vision of life as a sacred circle.
Your work helping Native communities to preserve their
cultures, hence their futures,
ensures that voting rights are a part of that,
of this sacred circle.
As members of the Rosebud Sioux,
your joint leadership in Native voter engagement started
during the 2002 South Dakota US Senate race,
for which you received the 2003
Paul Wellstone Grassroots Award.
Your work also includes O.J.'s many editorials and
speaking engagements, his testimony before the
National Commission on the Voting Rights Act,
and his election as Chair of the Coalition of Large Tribes.
O.J. and Barb Semans,
because of your faithful efforts to ensure a voice
for Native communities,
because you found in each other the ideal partner
to sustain this challenging journey,
because of your success in court cases,
such as Poor Bear v. Jackson County in South Dakota,
Sanchez v. Cegavske in Nevada,
and Wandering Medicine v. Linda McCulloch, Custer
in Montana, because your work inspires CGU's graduates
to make the world a better place.
Upon the recommendation of the faculty,
and with the approval of the Board of Trustees
of Claremont Graduate University,
we confer upon you the degrees
of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa,
with all of the rights and privileges appertaining thereto.
- Will Lisa Seacat DeLuca please step forward
for conferral of the honorary degree.
- Lisa Seacat DeLuca.

- Everyone please, a round of applause
for all of our graduates.
It is now my pleasure to reintroduce
Dr. Gloria Willingham-Toure,
who will provide the charge to the graduates.
Dr. Willingham-Toure, we are proud you are a CGU graduate,
and we are thankful for your many contributions
to the University.
Will you please step forward to deliver your remarks.
- Wow, graduates, congratulations.
(chuckling)
So, come on, graduates, you know the story,
let's tell the whole wide world
we're from Claremont territory.
You've reached a milestone in your life,
there lies behind you, but still with you, your past,
there lies beside you your present,
and there lies ahead of you your future.
Now, these three socially constructed dimensions
of your life are interconnected in ways
that we still do not really understand,
but what we do understand,
is that because your past, your present,
and your future have now become intertwined with CGU,
CGU is now a part of you, tell the story.
Ready or not, we are now like family,
and you will feel our presence in your life
when you least expect it.
The world will see us through you.
I must remind you that to the rest of the world,
beyond the walls of CGU,
you are a reflection of what is perceived
as higher education.
Many will look to you as the expert,
even in areas that you may know less about
than you care to admit.
In the words of my ancestors, be careful,
so you're not perceived as an educated fool.
There will be times when you will feel empowered
by the degree that you hold,
and there will be other times when you will feel
inadequate to address some of the most obvious problems.
Just know that, and keep on learning.
There will be times when you will be challenged
to find your place in today's world,
to find your world,
and for many of you the challenge will be
to bring your world into the full view
of the world of others.
Through it all, remember that to many,
you are the voice of educated reasoning.
That reasoning must be continuously moved forward.
There is so much more to learn.
Always remember that there are those who will not have
the privilege of moving forward unless you move forward.
In the paraphrased words of renowned poet Dr. Maya Angelou,
you are the rainbow in someone's cloud.
I challenge you as members of this CGU family
to climb to your greatest heights.
Some of you will climb by leaps and bounds,
and others will have a slower, more measured journey,
but you will climb.
You have an obligation now well beyond yourself,
and that obligation is my charge to you.
Always find a way to lift others as you climb.
Congratulations, and welcome to the CGU family,
God bless you.
Now go out there and show them what you got.
Thank you.
- Thank you, Gloria.
Will the banner carriers from each school please
come forward and retrieve your school's banner
if you have not done so.
You've done so, okay!
(audience laughing)
Members of the class of 2017,
your involvement with CGU does not end today.
Rather, today we start a new chapter together.
You remain part of our community,
and we invite you to join with us
and with the alumni who have gone before you
in building a university that continues
to make the world a better place
through research, teaching, and practice.
The audience is cordially invited to participate in the
receptions provided for our graduates and their guests
that will be held at the various schools
as listed in the commencement program.
Please keep the aisles clear so the graduates may exit,
and meet you at the school's reception.
Thank you for attending.
The 90th Annual Commencement for the Awarding
of Higher Degrees at Claremont Graduate University
is now officially closed.
