>> Adrienne: ON THIS MONDAY
NIGHT -- AID ARRIVES IN
INDONESIA.
RECOVERY EFFORTS ARE UNDER WAY.
WHY ARE THERE WARNINGS THAT
DANGER STILL LURKS?
>>> MARKET MELTDOWN.
U.S. STOCKS ARE ON TRACK FOR THE
WORST DECEMBER SINCE THE GREAT
DEPRESSION.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS PLAYING THE
BLAME GAME.
IS HE RIGHT TO SAY IT'S NOT HIS
FAULT?
[SPEAKING CHINESE]
>>> AND THIS IS GETTING WORSE --
CHINA RESPONDS TO CRITICISM
ABOUT HOLDING TWO CANADIANS.
WHERE DOES THIS STANDOFF HEAD
NEXT?
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
>> Adrienne: TWO DAYS AFTER A
TSUNAMI CRASHED ON TO THE SHORES
OF INDONESIA, THE NUMBER OF DEAD
HAVE CLIMBED TO AT LEAST 373,
NUMBER OF INJURED, 1,400.
SOLDIERS AND VOLUNTEERS ARE
COMBING BEACHES AND WRECKED
BUILDINGS LOOKING FOR SURVIVORS,
BUT MOSTLY FINDING MORE BODIES.
THESE WOMEN CAREFULLY GATHERING
RICE THAT WAS SCATTERED WHEN
THEIR HOMES WERE DESTROYED.
THINGS ARE DESPERATE AND THEY
COULD GET WORSE.
THE TSUNAMI WAS CAUSED BY
VOLCANIC ACTIVITY AND THERE ARE
FEARS THAT IT COULD HAPPEN
AGAIN.
CHRIS O'NEILL-YATES CHASES DOWN
THE DETAILS OF THE DISASTER.
AND THE IMAGES THAT DRIVE HOME
THE HARDSHIP MANY NOW FACE.
>> Reporter: HOPE IS ALL MANY
HAVE LEFT.
HOPE OF FINDING THE NAME OF A
LOVED ONE ON A LIST AT A CLINIC.
HOSPITALS STRUGGLE TO COPE AS
THE NUMBER OF DEAD AND INJURED
MOUNT.
PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SALVAGE
WHAT LITTLE THEY CAN DESPITE THE
RISKS, PEOPLE LIKE SHOP OWNER
NORA HASAN.
>> Interpretor: I FEEL SCARED
COMING BACK, BUT I HAD TO TO
TAKE WHAT I CAN.
I CAN'T GET THE IMAGE OF HUGE
WAVES OUT OF MY HEAD.
>> Reporter: INDONESIAN
PRESIDENT JOKO WIDODO VISITED
THE WORST AFFECTED AREA ON THE
WEST COAST OF JAVA.
IN FUTURE, METEOROLOGY AND
CLIMATOLOGY WILL PROVIDE
DETECTION EQUIPMENT THAT WILL
GIVE A WARNING, HE SAYS.
IN THIS CASE, THERE WAS NO
EARTHQUAKE, NO TREMBLING GROUND
AS WARNING.
THERE ARE SYSTEMS THAT CAN ALERT
PEOPLE TO UNUSUAL WAVES.
>> THE PROBLEM WE HAVE, IT WILL
NOT GIVE PEOPLE THAT MUCH OF A
WARNING.
IN THAT SITUATION, EVEN 10
SECONDS MAY GET SOME PEOPLE TO
HIGHER GROUND AND REDUCE THE
FATALITIES.
>> Reporter: IN TSUNAMI-PRONE
INDONESIA, WARNINGS ALONE WON'T
SAVE LIVES, SAID HIS CANADIAN
DISASTER RELIEF SPECIALIST.
>> THERE HAS TO BE A DETERMINED
EFFORT TO MOVE HEAVILY POPULATED
AREAS, IF POSSIBLE, AWAY FROM
THE WATERFRONT, FROM THE OCEAN.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE MOST OF
THIS DESTRUCTION HAPPENED.
>> Reporter: INDONESIAN
OFFICIALS SAY THE DANGER HAS NOT
PASSED.
THE ANAK KRAKATAU IS STILL
ERUPTING AND COULD POSSIBLY
TRIGGER ANOTHER TSUNAMI.
IN THE COMING DAYS, THEY'RE
TELLING PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY FROM
COASTAL AREAS.
CHRIS O'NEILL-YATES, CBC NEWS,
VANCOUVER.
>> Adrienne: SO A VOLCANIC
ERUPTION CAUSES A TSUNAMI IN
ASIA AND TODAY THE LARGEST
ACTIVE VOLCANO STARTED TO STIR,
THIS ONE IN ITALY.
MT. ETNA, FIRST FLANK ERUPTION
IN A DECADE.
THERE WERE 130 TREMORS TODAY,
THE MOST POWERFUL 4.
THE ASH WAS THICK ENOUGH TO
TEMPORARILY CLOSE THE AIRSPACE.
>>> A WORRY OF A DIFFERENT KIND
-- IT'S BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE
CHINA DETAINED FEW CANADIANS.
A DETENTION CALLED ARBITRARY.
BEIJING THREW THOSE WORDS
RIGHT BACK AT THIS COUNTRY,
LABELING CANADA'S ARREST OF
HUAWEI EXECUTIVE AS ARBITRARY
AND A MISTAKE.
OLIVIA STEFANOVICH DIPS INTO THE
DIPLOMATIC TENSIONS.

EXPRESSING CONCERNS OVER THE
DETENTION OF FORMER DIPLOMAT
MICHAEL KOVRIG AND BUSINESSMAN
MICHAEL SPAVOR, BUT NOT SPEAKING
OUT AGAINST THE ARREST OF
HUAWEI C.F.O. MEG WANZHOU.
>> THIS HAS EVOLVED OF NOT JUST
CANADA VERSUS CHINA, BUT CHINA
VERSUS THE WEST AND IT'S NOT IN
CHINA'S FAVOUR.
>> Reporter: FRANCE BECAME THE
LATEST COUNTRY TODAY JOINING THE
U.K., GERMANY AND E.U. OVER
CONCERNS OVER KOVRIG AND
SPAVOR'S DETAINMENT.
THE PRIME MINISTER CONTINUED TO
CALL FOR THEIR RELEASE.
>> Prime Minister Justin
Trudeau: CANADIANS AND PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD ARE EXTREMELY
DISTURBED BY THE CHINESE
ACTIONS.
>> Reporter: THOSE WORDS HAVE
GONE UNANSWERED.
THE CANADIAN CHINESE LANGUAGE
BROADCASTER FAIRCHILD TV QUOTED
SOURCES SAYING THAT CHINESE
OFFICIALS HAVE STEPPED UP THEIR
INTERROGATION EFFORTS IN THE
HOPES THAT THEY WILL PLEAD
GUILTY TO ENDANGERING CHINESE
SECURITY.
THIS FORMER CANADIAN DIPLOMAT
SAYS THE NEXT STEP.
IS TO CALL THE CHINESE
PRESIDENT.
>> HE WILL HAVE TO SAY, WE
DEMAND YOU RELEASE THESE TWO
GENTLEMEN IMMEDIATELY AND THEN
THERE'S NEEDS TO BE AN OR ELSE.
>> Reporter: IF THAT DOESN'T
WORK, CANADA CAN WITHDRAW ITS
AMBASSADOR FROM BEIJING BACK TO
OTTAWA IN PROTEST OR EVEN PUT
SANCTIONS ON CHINESE DIPLOMATS
IN CANADA.
>> ALL OF THESE ACTIONS WOULD
LEAD TO A SEVERE DETERIORATION
OF RELATIONS BETWEEN CANADA AND
CHINA.
>> Reporter: IT'S A DELICATE
BALANCING ACT THAT CANADIAN
OFFICIALS SAY THEY WILL WORK
OVER THE HOLIDAYS TO TRY TO
RESOLVE.
OLIVIA STEFANOVICH, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: IT'S NOT JUST
GOVERNMENTS SPEAKING OUT.
TODAY THERE WERE SCATHING
EDITORIALS.
"THE NEW YORK TIMES" EDITORIAL
BOARD CAME TO CANADA'S DEFENCE
SAYING --
ADMITTEDLY OPPOSING PERSPECTIVE
BY THE INFLUENTIAL TABLOID FROM

THAT CANADA WILL PAY FOR ITS BAD
BEHAVIOUR AND ATTEMPTS TO
RESOLVE THE CONFLICT BY ROPING

>>> DECEMBER IS ON TRACK TO BE
THE WORSE MONTH FOR U.S. STOCK
MARKETS IN A LONG TIME.
SOME CONFUSING MESSAGES FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE HAS NOT HELPED.
AS RON CHARLES REPORTS FROM
WASHINGTON TONIGHT, IT ALL COMES
AS THE PRESIDENT GRAPPLES WITH A
GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.
>> Reporter: THE NIGHT BEFORE
CHRISTMAS AND THE WHITE HOUSE
LOOKS LIKE NOT MUCH IS STIRRING,
BUT IT'S BEEN A DAY OF
CONTINUED, UNRELENTING CHAOS, A
GOVERNMENT PARTIALLY SHUT DOWN,
MARKETS TANKING, AND A PRESIDENT
FURIOUSLY TWEETING AFTER
CANCELLING HIS CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY
DURING THE LATEST CRISIS.
TRUMP TWEETING AT DEMOCRATIC
SENATORS --
U.S. LAWMAKERS ARE STILL NOT
CLOSE TO PROVIDING FUNDING FOR
TRUMP'S BORDER WALL AND BREAKING
THE SPENDING BILL IMPASSE THAT
LED TO THE SHUTDOWN.
>> SINCE IT'S BECOME A POLITICAL
ISSUE BOTH WAYS, NOBODY'S GIVING
IN.
THEY WILL.
WE'LL GET PASSED IT.
>> Reporter: THERE WAS CHAOS
HERE, TOO.
THE OPENING BELL MAY HAVE BEEN
RUNG BY DANCERS FROM "THE
NUTCRACKER," BUT THE SHORTENED
TRADING DAY WAS A NIGHTMARE
BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
653 DROP ADDING TO THE IRE OF A
PRESIDENT FIXATED BY THE STOCK
MARKET.
IN ANOTHER TWEET TODAY, TRUMP
BLAMED THE MARKET ROUT ON THE
FEDERAL RESERVE FOR RAISING
INTEREST RATES.
>> Reporter: AND THEN THE
STRANGE STATEMENT TRUMP'S
TREASURY SECRETARY, STEVE
MNUCHIN PUT OUT, EXPLAINING THE
NATION'S SIX LARGEST BANKS HAVE
CONFIRMED THEY HAVE AMPLE
LIQUIDITY.
THAT MAY HAVE SPOOKED THE
MARKETS.
IT'S USUALLY WHAT YOU SAY IN A
FALTERING ECONOMY TO REASSURE
PEOPLE THAT BANKS HAVE ENOUGH
CASH.
RON CHARLES, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Adrienne: ONE OF THE
CASUALTIES OF THE U.
CAME BACK TO LIFE TODAY.
THE NATIONAL CHRISTMAS TREE
REOPENED TO THE PUBLIC AFTER IT
WAS CLOSED ON FRIDAY NIGHT.
THE U.S. PARK SERVICE SAID
SUPPORT FROM THE CHARITABLE
FOUNDATION ALLOWED THE GATE TO
BE UNLOCKED.
IT COSTS $1,500 A DAY TO KEEP
THE SITE OPEN.
>>> THE MYSTERY OF WHO WAS
FLYING A DRONE OVER GATWICK
AIRPORT IS GETTING THORNIER.
A BRITISH COUPLE QUESTIONED AND
RELEASED IN THE COURSE OF THE
INVESTIGATION NOW SAID THEY FEEL
VIOLATED.
THEY INSIST THAT THE MEDIA OUTED
AND VILIFIED THEM.
AS BRIAR STEWART REPORTS,
THEY'RE FIGHTING BACK.
>> WE ARE DISTRESSED.
>> Reporter: THE COUPLE SPOKE
ABOUT THEIR ORDEAL IN A PREPARED
STATEMENT DELIVERED TO SKY NEWS
OUTSIDE OF THEIR HOME, A HOME
THAT HAD BEEN SEARCHED BY POLICE
AFTER THEY WERE SUSPECTED OF
FLYING DRONES OVER THE GATWICK
AIRPORT.
SEVERAL MEDIA OUTLETS IDENTIFIED
THE COUPLE.
THEIR NAMES AND PICTURES ON
THE FRONT OF THE PAPERS.
"ARE THESE THE MORONS THAT
RUINED CHRISTMAS?"
EVIDENTLY NOT, BECAUSE AFTER
BEING ARRESTED BY POLICE ON
FRIDAY, THEY WERE RELEASED
YESTERDAY WITHOUT CHARGES.
>> THE WAY WE WERE PERCEIVED IS
DISGUSTING.
THOSE THAT KNEW US DIDN'T DOUBT
US FOR A SECOND.
>> Reporter: THIS MEDIA LAWYER
SAID THE COUPLE HAS A CASE IF
THEY CHOOSE TO FILE A LAWSUIT.
>> IT WILL BE $75,000 TO
$125,000, I WOULD THINK.
>> Reporter: BRITISH LAW CHANGED
AFTER A CASE WAS BROUGHT FORWARD
BY CLIFF RICHARD.
THE BBC REPORTED THAT HE WAS
UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR
HISTORICAL CHILD SEX ASSAULT
CLAIMS, BUT CHARGES WERE NEVER
LAID.
THE COURT AWARDED HIM $360,000
CANADIAN DOLLARS.
>> Reporter: SO HE TOOK A CASE
AND THAT CHANGE THE THE LAW SO
WE HAVE SECRET ARRESTS AND YOU
CAN BE ARRESTED, BUT YOUR NAME
IS NOT RELEASED FOR THE PUBLIC
AND MAY NOT BE PUBLISHED.
IT'S A BREACH OF PRIVACY.
>> Reporter: THERE'S NO DOUBT
THAT THE COUPLE'S NAMES AND
IMAGES HAVE BEEN SEEN AROUND THE
WORLD.
THIS JOURNALIST SAID IF THERE'S
A BLANKET BAN ON IDENTIFYING
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ARRESTED,
IT HURTS THE FREEDOM OF THE
PRESS.
>> IT CAN BE VERY PROBLEMATIC.
WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN CERTAIN
SITUATIONS ABLE TO SAY, THE
POLICE ARRESTED THE PERSON.
THEY'RE HOLDING THEM.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> THIS COUPLE FEELS THEIR LIVES
HAVE BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
THEY'RE ASKING FOR PRIVACY NOW.
AS FOR INVESTIGATORS, THEY
INSIST THEY'RE NOT AT SQUARE
ONE.
THEY SAY THEY'RE CONTINUING TO
LOOK FOR OTHER SUSPECTS.
BRIAR STEWART, CBC NEWS, LONDON.
>> Adrienne: AUSTRALIA IS ONE

>>> STARING SKYWARD IS NOT JUST
A PREOCCUPATION OF AUTHORITIES.
ON THIS OF ALL NIGHTS, CHECKING
THE SKY IS A MATTER OF
TRADITION, WHICH IS WHY CANADIAN
ASTRONAUT DAVID SAINT-JACQUES
TWEETED FROM THE INTERNATIONAL
SPACE STATION THAT I TOOK ON AN
EXTRA JOB -- HELPING NORAD TRACK
SANTA.
ACCORDING TO HIS NEW LABOUR
CONTRACT, HE HAS THE DAY OFF
TOMORROW FOR THE HOLIDAY.
CATHERINE CULLEN HAD A GOOD
QUESTION ABOUT THAT -- HOW DO
YOU SPEND DOWNTIME WHEN YOU'RE
WAY UP THERE?
>> I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND THE
BLUE CRESCENT IS GETTING
BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER.
I REALISED, WOW, THAT'S THE
CURVE OF THE EARTH.
>> Reporter: TALK ABOUT A JOB
WITH COOL PERKS.
IT'S NOT ALL ZERO GRAVITY FUN
AND GAMES.
BACK DOWN ON EARTH, JUSTIN
TRUDEAU'S CABINET APPROVED AN
ASTRONAUT LABOUR CONTRACT.
ASTRONAUTS ARE ENTITLED TO 11
STATUTORY HOLIDAYS.
IN SPACE, THERE ARE DAYS OFF.
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH YOUR
DOWNTIME IN CRAMPED QUARTERS
LIKE THIS?
AS CHRIS HADFIELD DEMONSTRATED,
YOU COULD PERHAPS TAKE A NAP.
MAYBE HAVE A SNACK.
>> PRETTY GOOD.
>> Reporter: EVEN WORK ON YOUR
PERSONAL HYGIENE.
>> THAT ONE GOT AWAY.
(*)
PERFECT.
>> DOES THE I.S.F. EVEN HAVE A
NETFLIX ACCOUNT?
ACCORDING TO JULIE PYATT, IT'S
NOT SO DIFFERENT.
>> WHEN YOU HAVE TIME, YOU CAN
READ A BOOK, YOU CAN WATCH A
MOVIE ON THE COMPUTER.
YOU CAN WATCH A PROGRAMME
UPLINKED FROM THE GROUND, BUT
MOST OF US, JUST LOOK OUT THE
WINDOW AT THE MAGNIFICENT
SPECTACLE WE HAVE, PLANET EARTH.
WE TAKE PICTURES AND HAVE
MEMORIES FOR A LIFETIME.
>> Reporter: SAINT-JACQUES WILL
HAVE CHRISTMAS DAY OFF AND
THEY'VE BEEN KNOWN TO CELEBRATE.
* I'LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
>> Reporter: THOUGH ON BOXING
DAY, IT'S BACK TO WORK.
ALSO IN THE NEW LABOUR DEAL, UP
TO $3,000 IN CASE YOU SUDDENLY
NEED TO BUY A GIFT FOR A FOREIGN
DIGNITARY.
$6,500 IN RELOCATION ALLOWANCE,
BUT MOVING TWO OUTER SPACE IS
NOT ELIGIBLE.
AND IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING,
ASTRONAUTS ON THE SPACE STATION
ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR OVERTIME.
PERHAPS THE BEST PERK OF ALL,
SHARING THE EXPERIENCE WITH THE
ONES YOU LOVE.
THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT PAID FOR
SAINT-JACQUES' FAMILY TO JOIN
HIM FOR THE LAUNCH IN
KAZAKHSTAN.
>> WE'RE THRILLED.
THE KIDS WERE THRILLED TO SEE
THE ROCKET GO.
>> Reporter: AN UPSIDE TO A JOB
UNLIKE ANY OTHER.
CATHERINE CULLEN, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA, EARTH.
>> Adrienne: CHRISTMAS EVE HAS A
SPECIAL PLACE IN THE CALENDAR OF
SPACE.
50 YEARS AGO TONIGHT, BILL
LANDERS TOOK ONE OF THE MOST
FAMOUS PARAGRAPHS IN HISTORY.
HAVE A LISTEN AND A LOOK THROUGH
"THE LENS."
(*)
>> Adrienne: HERE'S SOME OTHER
STORIES WE'RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT,
BEGINNING WITH THE LATEST ON THE
POWER OUTAGE IN B.C., FIVE DAYS
AFTER THAT MASSIVE WINDSTORM.
>> THERE IS BASICALLY TREES DOWN
EVERYWHERE AND WIRES ON THE
ROADS.
SO WE'RE NOT HOPEFUL FOR POWER
BACK ON TOMORROW.
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF STUFF
COOKED ON THE WOOD STOVE OR CAMP
STOVE OR BARBECUES.
I THINK THE TURKEY IS GOING TO A
PROPANE OVEN IN THE
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
SO THE DINNER IS GETTING COOKED
IN MANY DIFFERENT PLACES.
IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL HAVE CANNEDLED GOING.
IT'S GOOD.
>> Adrienne: SHE'S NOT THE
ONLY ONE SPENDING CHRISTMAS IN
THE DARK.
DESPITE 800 PEOPLE WORKING
AROUND THE CLOCK, B.C. HYDRO
SAYS THOUSANDS ON VANCOUVER
ISLAND AND SOUTHERN GULF ISLAND
WILL BE WITHOUT POWER TOMORROW.
>>> IF YOU'RE PLANNING A
CHRISTMAS DINNER, YOU MIGHT BE
HAPPY TO KNOW THAT ROMAINE
LETTUCE IS SAFE TO GET AGAIN.
THE E. COLI OUTBREAK WAS
DECLARED OVER THIS AFTERNOON.
THERE'S BEEN NO NEW CASES HERE
SINCE MID-NOVEMBER.
29 PEOPLE GOT SICK EATING
TAINTED LETTUCE THIS FALL.
>>> JUST AHEAD, DAVID COMMON
GOES BEHIND SCENES OF "THE
NUTCRACKER."
AN ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SPECTACLE
ALL ABOUT PRECISION AND
DISCIPLINE, AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT
THE AUDIENCE SEES.
>> THE PEOPLE THAT GET WHACKED
BY THE BRANCHES TEND TO BE THE
PERFORMERS IN THE BATTLE.
SO
[APPLAUSE]
>> Adrienne: CHECK OUT THESE TWO
CHARACTERS.
THEY'RE MAPLE LEAFS, GUEST
STARRING AS CANNON DOLLS,
GETTING INTO IT, LIKE THE
AUDIENCE.
"THE NUTCRACKER" IS A BELOVED
HOLIDAY CLASSIC AND EVERY YEAR,
THEY MOUNT THIS SPECTACLE.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, IT'S A BEHEMOTH
OF A SHOW, EVERYTHING WORKING IN
PRECISION OR IT SEEMS LIKE IT TO
US.
ON THIS CHRISTMAS EVE, DAVID
COMMON AGAIN TAKES US BEHIND THE
SCENES OF "THE NUTCRACKER."
(*)
>> Reporter: MAGNIFICENT AS IT
SEEMS, MIDWAY THROUGH THE FIRST
ACT, THERE'S A PROBLEM.
HERE A MOUSTACHE HAS COME
UNGLUED.
AN URGENT FIX FOR A KEY
PERFORMER SECONDS BEFORE HE'S
SET TO RETURN TO THE STAGE.
THE AUDIENCE HAS NO IDEA.
BUT WE HAVE UNPRECEDENTED
ACCESS.
WATCHING AS DANCERS THROW
SNOWBALLS OFFSTAGE.
AS ROLLERBLADING BEARS STAND BY
IN THE WINGS.
THE YOUNGEST PERFORMERS ARE JUST
6 YEARS OLD.
NOW PREPARING FOR THEIR
FIRST-EVER GRAND EVENT.
THIS IS MAKE OR BREAK FOR THE
NATIONAL BALLET, THE ANNUAL
RITUAL THAT HELPS TO PAY FOR THE
REST OF THE YEAR.
IT ATTRACTS HUGE AUDIENCES
EVERY DECEMBER, INCLUDING THIS
ONE.
THE FIRST FULL DRESS REHEARSAL
WITH WHAT WILL BE A FULL HOUSE,
AS THAT AUDIENCE BEGINS TO TAKE
THEIR SEATS, BACKSTAGE, THE SHOW
IS IN ITS FINAL PREPARATIONS.
FOR THE MAN THAT HELPED IT RUN
FOR DECADES, THE STAKES ARE
STILL HIGH.
>> WE'RE ON AN UNFORGIVING PATH.
I CANNOT CHANGE MY MIND AND
LEAVE.
>> Reporter: POINT OF NO RETURN.
>> IT KIND OF IS.
>> Reporter: A MONTH BEFORE SHOW
TIME, THE ENORMOUS EFFORT BEGINS
WITH MASSIVE SETS MOVED OUT OF
STORAGE.
NINE TRAILERS FULL.
>> GREAT.
>> HOW IS IT WHEN YOU PUT YOUR
ARMS UP?
TRY YOUR TIARA.
>> Reporter: MEANWHILE, SUGAR
PLUM FAIRIES ARE FITTED FOR
COSTUMES AND REHEARSALS BEGIN.
[APPLAUSE]
THE NATIONAL BALLET'S OWN MAY BE
EXPERIENCED AT "THE NUTCRACKER."
WITH THE NEED FOR SUCH A LARGE
CAST, MOST OF THE PERFORMERS
COME FROM OUTSIDE THE COMPANY,
MANY OF THEM JUST KIDS.
THEY WILL REHEARSE TOGETHER A
FEWER OF HANDFUL OF TIMES BEFORE
FACING A PAYING AUDIENCE A
GRUELING 26 TIMES.
SHOW TIME IS MOMENTS AWAY.
IT MAY NOT GET THE GLORY, BUT
THE TWO DANCERS STUFFED INSIDE
THIS HORSE CERTAINLY HAVE ONE OF
THE MOST CHALLENGING PARTS.
ONE OF THEM CAN'T SEE.
SO BOTH ARE LED GINGERLY ON TO
THE STAGE.
WHEN THE HORSE'S PART IS
COMPLETE, THE HEAVY COSTUME IS
HUNG, DANCERS SLIP OUT, RUSHING
TO THEIR NEXT ROLE.
WATCH OUT, A BIG MOVE IS ABOUT
TO HAPPEN.
IT TAKES 10 PEOPLE TO MOVE OUT
THIS CHRISTMAS TREE SET.
ON STAGE, THE BRANCHES SWING.
A MOVEMENT FROM BEHIND BY A
STAGEHAND.
ALL THAT SWINGING IS A HAZARD,
ONE DANCERS TRY TO AVOID.
>> THE PEOPLE THAT TEND TO GET
WHACKED BY THE BRANCHES, TEND TO
BE SOME OF THE PERFORMERS IN THE
BATTLE.
AND THERE IS SQUARE STEEL
UNDERNEATH THE DRESSING, SO IT
GIVES A GOOD BARK ON THE SHINS.
>> Reporter: THE PERFORMERS MAY
BE IN PEAK PHYSICAL SHAPE, BUT
"THE NUTCRACKER" IS AN
EXHAUSTING PERFORMANCE.
POISED AND PRECISE, BALLERINAS
ON STAGE STEP OFF BRIEFLY TO
RECOVER AND REHYDRATE.
AS THE END OF THE SNOW SCENE
NEARS, STAGE DIRECTOR JEFF
MORRIS IS STILL CALLING THE
SHOTS.
>> IT'S MAGIC, ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S SO SATISFYING.
WHEN YOU HEAR THE APPLAUSE, YOU
KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT MAYBE IT'S THEIR FIRST TIME
IN THIS TERRIFIC THEATRE, MAYBE
IT'S THEIR FIRST TIME SEEING A
BALLET, AND THE APPLAUSE IS
FANTASTIC.
(*)
[APPLAUSE]
>> Reporter: APPLAUSE FOR AN ACT
THAT SEEMS SERENE AND PRECISE,
BELYING THE ORGANISED CHAOS.
JUST BEHIND THE PERFORMANCE.
DAVID COMMON, CBC NEWS, TORONTO.
>> Adrienne: ALWAYS A BIT OF
CHAOS BEHIND THE SCENES.
PRINCE HARRY GAVE ROYAL WATCHERS
PLENTY TO CELEBRATE THIS YEAR.
WHEN WE COME BACK, HOW HIS LIFE
HAS BEEN SHAPED GROWING UP IN
THE SHADOW OF DIANA.
>> HE HAS FOUND A WAY TO LOVE
AND BE LOVED OF HAVING HOPE FOR
HIS FUTURE, OF KNOWING THAT HE
HAS HIS RESPONSIBILITIES AND HE
CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
AND THAT HE CAN JUST BE HIMSELF.
>> Adrienne: 2018 HAS BEEN AN
EPIC YEAR FOR PRINCE HARRY AND
BY ALL APPEARANCES FILLED WITH
JOY FROM HIS SPRING WEDDING TO
MEGHAN MARKLE AND HIS TOUR OF
THE SOUTH PACIFIC, TO THE
INVICTUS GAMES.
WHICH HAS BECOME A SYMBOL OF
OPTIMISM FOR WOUNDED VETS.
NOW HE'S AN EXPECTANT FATHER.
FOR MANY, HE WILL BE THE LITTLE
BOY WHOSE MOM DIED WHEN HE WAS
12, A LOSS THAT SHAPED HIS LIFE.
ANYONE THAT KNOWS GRIEF KNOWS TO
MOURN SOMEONE, YOU HAVE TO CARRY
ON WHAT THEY STARTED.
PRINCE HARRY SAID AS DOING JUST
THAT.
HE FOUND THE LIFE HIS OWN, BUT
ALWAYS SHAPED IN THE SHADOW OF
DIANA.
>> 7, 8, 9, 10.
KEEP GOING.
>> Adrienne: WHEN YOU KNOW THAT
YEARS AGO, SOME DECLARED YOUR
LIFE OVER, DEATH MONTHS AWAY,
AND YOU SHOWED THEM YOU COULD
SURVIVE ANYWAY, YOU EARNED A
SMALL AS BROAD AS THIS.
HOW DOES THAT FEEL WHEN YOU DO
THAT?
HERE'S IS A LIFE FILLED WITH
SURPRISES.
SHE LEARNED SHE HAD H.I.V.
THE INFECTION WAS COURSING
THROUGH HER BRAIN.
THE BEST, THAT DOCTORS WOULD
SAVE HER AND SHE WOULD LIVE TO
MAKE A PRINCE OF A FRIEND.
HE'S BEEN BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN
TO SEE THOSE AT THE CLINIC,
THOSE STRUGGLING WITH H.I.V.
>> I THINK IT'S QUITE IMPORTANT
FOR HIM.
>> Reporter: CARRIE HAS BEEN BY
HIS SIDE EVERY TIME.
>> ONE OF THE PATIENTS I TOOK
HIM TO SEE WAS QUITE ILL AND HE
WAS QUITE SHOCKED TO SEE
SOMEBODY THAT ILL IN THIS DAY
AND AGE WITH H.I.V. IN HIS
COUNTRY.
(*)
>> Adrienne: THESE ENCOUNTERS
HAVE HISTORY.
PRINCE HARRY IN THE SAME PLACE,
SAME WAY AS HIS MOTHER.
DIANA STARTED COMING HERE IN THE
LATE '80s.
THINK OF IT.
SHE WAS CLUTCHING THE HANDS OF
THE VERY ILL AT A TIME WHEN FEAR
WAS SO ACUTE PEOPLE WERE
THROWING BRICKS THROUGH THEIR
WINDOWS.
>> PEOPLE WERE LOSING THEIR
JOBS.
>> Reporter: JULIAN WAS A NURSE
HERE.
>> PEOPLE HAD AIDS SCRIBBLED ON
THEIR DOORS LIKE GRAFFITI.
>> Adrienne: FOR DIANA TO BE SO
LOVING WITH THE LIKES OF THIS
MAN, MARTIN, WHOSE OWN FAMILY
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM,
WHO WOULD SHIP BACK HIS LETTERS
WITH "RETURN TO SENDER" IS
REALLY SOMETHING.
>> SHE TOUCHED HIM.
SHE KISSED HIM.
AGAIN, IT JUST EXPLODED ACROSS
THE WORLD.
>> WHEN THIS PHOTOGRAPH WENT
PUBLIC IN THE MEDIA, HIS MOTHER
CAME TO VISIT.
AND THEY RECONCILED.
>> Reporter: IT WAS JUST IN
TIME.
MARTIN DIED TWO WEEKS LATER.
DIANA IS EVERYWHERE HERE.
AND NOW THAT IT'S HER SON THAT
SHOWS UP, IT'S THE SPIRIT OF HER
THAT HE SOMETIMES LOOKS FOR.
>> HE LOVES TO HEAR THE STORIES
OF HER VISITS HERE.
>> Reporter: CARRIE TELLS OF A
MIRACULOUS WOMAN WHO MET DIANA
AS AN ILL CHILD BUT SURVIVED.
HARRY HAD QUESTIONS FOR HER.
>> SHE SAID TO HARRY, I REMEMBER
CUDDLING UP ON HER LAP AND HOW
SOFT AND COMFORTABLE IT WAS.
HE SAID, "I REMEMBER THAT WELL."
>> Adrienne: OF COURSE, HE
WOULD.
HIS MEMORIES ARE THE FROZEN ONES
OF A CHILD, JUST 12 WITH THOSE
CLINCHED FISTS WALKING BEHIND
THE CASKET OF HIS MOTHER.
FOR THAT PERSONAL LOSS TO BE SO
PUBLIC HAS, AS HE HAS SAID,
MARKED HIM.
>> WHEN YOU'RE THAT YOUNG AND
SOMETHING LIKE THAT HAPPENS TO
YOU, IT'S IN YOUR HEART AND HEAD
AND STAYS THERE FOR A LONG TIME.
AT THAT POINT, I WAS STILL -- I
WASN'T THERE.
I WAS STILL IN SHOCK.
(*)
>> Adrienne: THE OVERWHELMING
DISPLAYS OF PUBLIC SORROW HAVE
BEEN GONE FOR DECADES NOW.
BUT THE EFFECT OF THOSE SURREAL
MOMENTS HAS STAYED.
>> ON ONE LEVEL, I FELT FURIOUS
THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WERE CRYING
AND SCREAMING AND YELLING ABOUT
SOMEONE THEY DIDN'T KNOW.
>> Reporter: JULIA SAMUEL HAS A
LONG RELATIONSHIP WITH GRIEF AND
THE ROYALS.
>> ON ANOTHER LEVEL, IT FELT
COMPLETELY APPROPRIATE THAT
EVERYBODY DID BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT WE WERE ALL FEELING.
>> Adrienne: SHE WAS A FRIEND OF
DIANA'S.
IS CLOSE TO HER SONS.
SHE'S ALSO A PSYCHOTHERAPIST WHO
HAS WRITTEN EXTENSIVELY ON
GRIEF'S GRIP IN "GRIEF
WORKS."
>> IT'S MESSY.
IT'S CHAOTIC.
IT FEELS LIKE THE WEATHER.
IT COMES AND HITS YOU WHEN YOU
DON'T EXPECT IT.
>> Adrienne: BY HIS OWN
ADMISSION, IT'S HIT HARRY
ESPECIALLY HARD.
THE LASHING OUT, ACTING OUT OF
HIS TEENS AND 20s WAS, IT SEEMS,
HIS WAY OF NOT DEALING WITH IT.
ON THE PRINCES, SAMUEL IS QUITE
PRIVATE, BUT CANNOT HIDE HER
PRIDE OF THEIR DECISION TO BE
OPEN ABOUT THEIR LOSS AS THEY
SEEM TO BE ROOTING FOR HIS
HAPPINESS.
>> BETWEEN THEM, THEY'VE REALLY
HELPED TO SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES.
>> WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR
PARTNER CHARITIES AND THOUSAND
OF PEOPLE TO CHANGE THE WAY WE
THINK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH.
>> Adrienne: SAMUEL SEES WHAT
OTHERS DO, JUST AS THE PUBLIC IS
INVESTED IN HIS GRIEF, THEY SEEM
TO BE ROOTING FOR HIS HAPPINESS.
>> HE'S FOUND A WAY OF LOVING,
OF BEING LOVED.
OF HAVING HOPE FOR HIS FUTURE.
OF KNOWING THAT HE HAS
RESPONSIBILITIES AND THAT HE CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
AND THAT HE CAN JUST BE HIMSELF.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT CONNECTS
EVERYBODY TO HIM.
THAT HE FEELS SO GENUINE AND
DIANA WAS THE SAME WAY.
>> MY MOTHER CAMPAIGNED TO DRAW
ATTENTION TO THE HORRIFIC AND
INDISCRIMINATE IMPACTS OF
LANDMINES.
>> Adrienne: WHAT MATTERED TO
HER, BY DESIGN OTHER DEFAULT,
MATTERS TO HIM.
ALMOST ALL THE CHARITIES HE
THREW HIMSELF INTO, REFLECT HER
CAUSES, TOO.
THOSE WHO KNEW HER SAY DIANA
UNDERSTOOD PERFECTLY THE MEASURE
OF HER POWER.
HER ABILITY TO DRAG THE WORLD'S
MEDIA BY THE CAMERA LENSES
TOWARDS THE PEOPLE AND THE
CAUSES SHE FOUND IMPORTANT.
DRAW THE LIGHT AND THEN DIVERT
IT.
THAT'S A LESSON THAT STUCK.
AND THAT'S THE SECRET SAUCE
BEHIND SOME OF THE WEDDING
PLANS.
INSTEAD OF GIFTS, THE COUPLE
WANTS DONATIONS FOR SPECIFIC
CHARITIES, LIKE CHIVA, DEDICATED
TO KIDS LIVING WITH H.I.V. AND
THE STIGMA IT BRINGS.
THE VOLUNTEERS OF THIS TINY
GROUP HAD NO IDEA THAT IT WAS
COMING AND DOES IT EVER MATTER.
>> THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE
CHILDREN BROUGHT UP IN ISOLATION
BECAUSE OF FUNDS FROM THE
WEDDING OPENS UP SOMEONE'S WORLD
IN AN INCREDIBLE WAY THAT I WISH
I WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO
WHEN I WAS A LOT YOUNGER.
>> Adrienne: THIS IS PERSONAL.
MERCY WAS BORN WITH H.I.V.
WASN'T TOLD UNTIL SHE WAS A TEEN
AND THEN THEN WAS ADVISED TO
KEEP IT QUIET.
>> DON'T TELL ANYBODY.
IT WON'T BE ACCEPTED IN SOCIETY.
YOU KNOW, LIKE, OKAY, WHY ARE
YOU TELLING ME THIS?
WHAT DO I DO WITH THE
INFORMATION IF I'M NOT SUPPOSED
TO TELL ANYONE?
DO I JUST LIKE SIT WITH IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
AND, YEAH, SO I DIDN'T TALK
ABOUT IT.
>> Adrienne: SO SHE LIVED TWO
LIVES.
HANGING OUT WITH UNIVERSITY
FRIENDS THAT KNEW NOTHING ABOUT
IT.
ON THE WEEKENDS, VOLUNTEERING
WITH KIDS WITH H.I.V. FAR AWAY.
THE WORLDS DIDN'T MEET AND IT
WORKED UNTIL SHE GOT A CALL.
>> SO THIS IS THE DIANA'S LEGACY
AWARD.
>> Adrienne: SHE WON DIANA'S
AWARD FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHO STEP
UP, AN HONOUR, BUT TO ACCEPT,
SHE WOULD HAVE TO OPEN UP.
THEY COULDN'T JUST GIVE IT TO
YOU, RIGHT?
IT MEANT YOU MAKING A BIG
DECISION.
WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DECIDE?
>> THIS IS MY CHANCE TO STAND UP
AND MAKE SOME NOISE, I SUPPOSE.
IT IS A CONVERSATION THAT I HAD
BEEN HAVING, BUT HAD NOT
IMAGINED WHAT THE OUTCOME WOULD
BE LIKE.
I DECIDED THAT I WOULD COME OUT
AND TELL EVERYONE.
>> Adrienne: BEING OPEN CHANGED
EVERYTHING.
IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF DISCOVERY
PRINCE HARRY MADE FOR HIMSELF.
SHE ADMITS SHE DIDN'T KNOW MUCH
ABOUT HIM BEFORE, BUT NOW THERE
IS PRIDE IN THAT VOICE.
>> HE RECENTLY DID AN H.I.V.
TEST IN THE U.K.
A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL FAMILY
STROLLING IN AND GETTING AN
H.I.V. TEST, IT'S INSANE.
>> Reporter: LOOKING BACK, WHAT
DOES SHE THINK ABOUT THAT TIME
SHE HELD HER HARD SECRET CLOSE?
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS WORTH
LIVING ALL THAT TIME IN
ISOLATION AND NOT BEING ABLE TO
TALK ABOUT SOME THINGS.
AND JUST BEING ABLE TO STEP INTO
WHO I REALLY AM AND BE
COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.
>> Adrienne: STEPPING OUT OF THE
SHADOWS, STEPPING INTO THE FULL
GLOW, SEEMS TO BE MUCH OF WHAT
DIANA AND NOW HER SON HAS DONE
FOR THEMSELVES FIRST AND FOR
OTHERS ALONG THE WAY.
AND PRINCE HARRY SEEMS AWARE
THAT THE WORK IS UNFINISHED.
BACK AT MILDMAY, THERE WOULD BE
A SUBTLY EASY TO MISS.
THE FROSTING ON THE GLASS.
THE PATIENTS WANT THAT, AFRAID
OF BEING JUDGED UNFAIRLY.
IT'S A SLOW CHIPPING AWAY AT
THAT.
THE PRINCE IS DETERMINED.
>> HE SAID HE WANTS TO DO AS
MUCH AS HE CAN WHILE HE STILL
HAS THE POWER TO, YOU KNOW,
PUBLICIZE OR BREAK DOWN THE
STIGMA.
>> Adrienne: THE CLOCK TICKS.
PRINCE WILLIAM'S CHILDREN WILL
SOON GROW TO HAVE THEIR OWN
CAUSES TO CHAMPION.
THEY'LL BE THE ONES DRAWING THE
LIGHT.
HARRY IS A PRINCE IN A HURRY,
AWARE AND GRATEFUL FOR ALL HE'S
FOUND AFTER ALL HE'S LOST.
>>> LOOKING BACK THIS YEAR,
IT'S BEEN HARD TO FATHOM
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED -- THE
ROYAL WEDDING, OLYMPICS, THE
DISASTERS, SO MUCH POLITICAL
NEWS.
GOOD TIME THEN FOR REPORTERS TO
TAKE STOCK OF WHAT STOOD OUT.
BRIAR STEWART TAKES US TO
THAILAND.
13 BOYS STUCK IN A CAVE AND THE
WORLD HOPING FOR THE BEST.
>> Reporter: I THINK ONE OF THE
MOMENTS THAT STUCK OUT IS WHEN
WE WENT TO ONE OF THE SCHOOLS
AND IT WAS WHERE ONE OF THE TEAM
MEMBERS WENT TO SCHOOL.
THIS BOY WAS THE ONE, BY THE
WAY, WHO WHEN RESCUERS REACHED
THE TEAM, HE WAS THE ONLY ONE
TH
* Get it got it good Get it got it good *
* Get it got it good
* I'm talking 'bout wavy
* I'm talking 'bout ways we can elevate *
Yay!
Aw, yes!
* Don't try to separate, we'll get together *
* and celebrate I can do everything *
How good is this?
* I can do anything
We're at the cottage!
* you got me
-That's so great. -That's great, wow.
[clapping] Yay.
* Get it got it good
>> Adrienne: ACTOR KEVIN SPACEY
WAS CHARGED TODAY WITH FELONY
SEXUAL ASSAULT.
HE'S ACAUSED OF FORCIBLY GROPING
AN 18-YEAR-OLD MAN IN A
MASSACHUSETTS BAR IN 2016.
THAT NEWS WAS SHORTLY FOLLOWED
BY THIS.
>> OF COURSE, SOME BELIEVED
EVERYTHING AND HAVE BEEN WAITING
WITH BAITED BREATH TO HEAR ME
CONFESS IT ALL.
THEY'RE JUST DYING TO HAVE ME
DECLARE THAT EVERYTHING SAID WAS
TRUE AND I GOT WHAT I DESERVED.
>> Adrienne: SPACEY RELEASED
THIS PUZZLING VIDEO IN HIS FIRST
APPEARANCE IN A YEAR SINCE
ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL
ALLEGATIONS CAME TO LIGHT.
HE SEEMED TO BE PLAYING HIS
CHARACTER IN "HOUSE OF CARDS,"
BLURRING THE LINES BETWEEN THE
AMORAL POLITICIAN HE PLAYED AND
HIS OWN SITUATION.
>> IF I DIDN'T PAY THE PRICE FOR
THE THINGS WE KNOW I DID DO, I
WILL NOT PAY THE PRICE FOR THE
THINGS I DIDN'T DO.
>> Adrienne: KEVIN SPACEY IS DUE
IN COURT JANUARY 7.
>>> IT IS ALREADY
CHRISTMAS DAY IN BETHLEHEM,
WHERE MIDNIGHT MASS WAS
CELEBRATED AT THE CHURCH OF THE
NATIVITY.
CHRISTIANS REVERE THE SITE AS
THE BIRTHPLACE OF JESUS.
OUTSIDE VISITORS FROM AROUND THE
WORLD TOOK IN THE FESTIVITIES,
10,000 TRAVELERS ARE STAYING
OVERNIGHT IN BETHLEHEM, THE
BIGGEST CELEBRATION THERE IN
YEARS.
>> Adrienne: THAT'S PRESIDENT
TRUMP AND HIS WIFE, MELANIA,
TAKING CALLS FROM CHILDREN ABOUT
WHERE SANTA CLAUS IS.
WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SIMPLE
PHOTO-OP WENT OFF THE RAILS IF
HE ASKED A 7-YEAR-OLD, A LITTLE
BOY NAMED COLEMAN, IF HE
BELIEVED IN SANTA.
DON'T WORRY, COLEMAN DID GET HIS
ANSWER.
NORAD'S SANTA TRACKER SAID THAT
HE IS ON SCHEDULED FOR HIS ROUTE
TONIGHT.
>>> CBC JOURNALISTS SEE AND HEAR
A LOT ON ASSIGNMENT AND WE KEEP
GOOD NOTES.
NOT ALL THOSE DETAILS MAKE IT ON
THE AIR, THOUGH.
THE TYRANNY OF TIME CONSTRAINTS
IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE.
WE'VE ASKED SOME OF OUR
REPORTERS TO REFLECT ON A STORY
THEY COVERED THIS YEAR.
BRIAR STEWART WAS ON THE SCENE
IN THAILAND FOR A GLOBAL
NAIL-BITER.
(*)
>> Ian: ON THIS MONDAY NIGHT, AN
EXTRAORDINARY RESCUE OPERATION
DEEP IN A CAVE IN NORTHERN
THAILAND.
>> Reporter: THIS STORY REALLY
GRABBED EVERYBODY'S ATTENTION
BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT UNFOLDED.
I WAS BACK IN VANCOUVER,
FOLLOWING THE NEWS, LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE.
I WAS THINKING, THIS DOESN'T
LOOK GOOD.
IF THEY FIND THESE KIDS, THEY
PROBABLY WON'T BE ALIVE.
>> HOW MANY OF YOU?
13.
BRILLIANT.
>> Reporter: BUT THEN THEY FOUND
THEM AND THE SHOT OF THE KIDS
AND THEIR COACH HUDDLED ON THE
ROCK, SITTING THERE, ESSENTIALLY
WAITING TO BE RESCUED, WAS JUST
UNBELIEVABLE.
>> WE'RE HAPPY, TOO.
>> Reporter: IT WAS AN
INCREDIBLE STORY.
ONCE THE OXYGEN LEVELS IN THE
CAVE STARTED DROPPING, CBC MADE
THE DECISION TO SEND US.
WE GOT A CALL 6:00.
A M. SATURDAY MORNING AND WE
WERE ON A FLIGHT A FEW HOURS
LATER.
I'VE COVERED QUITE A FEW MAJOR
EVENTS WHERE YOU HAVE MEDIA FROM
ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT NOTHING
LIKE THIS.
THERE WERE SEVERAL HUNDRED
MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA THERE.
BY THE TIME WE GOT THERE, IT WAS
ORGANISED.
THERE WAS A MEDIA CENTRE.
IT WAS RAINING SO MUCH, MEDIA
HAD BEEN HUDDLED UNDER A TARP
TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR LAPTOPS
AND CAMERA GEAR FROM GETTING
WET.
AROUND THE OUTSIDE, VOLUNTEERS,
VOLUNTEERS THAT HAD COME DOWN
WITH THEIR MOTORBIKES AND THEY
WERE ABLE TO FERRY MEMBERS OF
THE MEDIA TO -- THE CLOSEST WE
COULD GET TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE
CAVE.
THAT'S WHAT THEY DID ALL DAY.
THEY FERRIED MEDIA BACK AND
FORTH.
AND DOWN THERE, THERE WERE MORE
VOLUNTEERS, VOLUNTEERS COOKING
NOODLES, MAKING COFFEE.
AND IT SHOWED WHAT A COMMUNITY
EFFORT IT WAS.
IT WAS VERY MUDDY.
WE HAD TALL RAIN BOOTS ON THE
WHOLE TIME.
IF YOU DROPPED A MICROPHONE OR A
CABLE, IT WOULD GET STUCK IN THE
MUD.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE HUMIDITY
AND EVERYTHING ON TOP OF THAT.
THE CHALLENGES OF BEING IN THAT
ENVIRONMENT.
I THINK ONE OF THE MOMENTS THAT
STUCK OUT IS WHEN WE WENT TO ONE
OF THE SCHOOLS AND IT WAS WHERE
ONE OF THE TEAM MEMBERS WENT TO
SCHOOL.
THIS BOY WAS THE ONE, BY THE
WAY, WHEN RESCUERS REACHED THE
TEAM, HE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT
SPOKE ENGLISH.
HE WAS A STAR ATHLETE.
HE SPOKE A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES.
HEARING ABOUT WHAT A HIGH
ACHIEVER HE WAS AND BEING ABLE
TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DIVERS
WHEN THEY FOUND THE TEAM, THEY
HAD THIS WHOLE SHRINE UP TO HIM
IN THE ATRIUM OF THE SCHOOL.
THEY HAD PICTURES OF HIM.
PICTURES THEY HAD DRAWN.
WORDS OF COMFORT AND GOOD
WISHES.
IT WAS AMAZING TO HEAR ABOUT HIS
PERSONAL STORY.
ALL THE RAIN THEY PREDICTED AND
FEARED HAS ARRIVED.
SO OFFICIALS WILL WATCH THE
WATER LEVEL INSIDE THAT CAVE
VERY CLOSELY WHEN THEY START THE
NEXT AND POSSIBLY FINAL RESCUE.
SO THE THIRD DAY OF THE RESCUE
OPERATION, THERE WAS A SENSE
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TRY TO
BRING OUT ALL FIVE ON THE FINAL
DAY.
THERE WAS A WHOLE PROCESS.
ONCE THE BOYS WERE RESCUED FROM
THE CAVE, THEY WERE TAKEN IN AN
AMBULANCE.
DRIVEN TO A HELICOPTER.
PUT IN THE HELICOPTER, AND FLOWN
TO THE HOSPITAL.
SO EVERY TIME YOU SAW THAT
HELICOPTER TAKE OFF, YOU KNEW IT
WAS ANOTHER BOY THAT WAS OUT OF
THE CAVE.
THERE WAS A RUNNING TALLY.
PEOPLE SAID, THAT'S ONE, THAT'S
TWO, THAT'S THREE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
AND BY THE TIME THE HELICOPTER
TOOK OFF THE FIFTH TIME, YOU
KNEW THE ENTIRE TEAM WAS OUT OF
THAT CAVE.
[SINGING]
THERE WAS A LOT OF
CELEBRATIONS.
WHERE WE WERE DOWN BY THE
VOLUNTEERS, PEOPLE WERE SINGING
AND DANCING.
I WAS INTERVIEWING A WOMAN, WHO
HAD BEEN VOLUNTEERING,
TRANSLATING.
DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE
INTERVIEW, SHE GAVE ME A HUG.
AND THAT REALLY STAYS WITH ME
BECAUSE, FOR ONE, PEOPLE
TYPICALLY DON'T HUG ME IN THE
MIDDLE OF AN INTERVIEW, AND SHE
WAS SO HAPPY THAT THAT'S HOW SHE
WANTED TO EXPRESS HERSELF AT
THAT MOMENT.
AS A REPORTER, A LOT OF THE
TIMES YOU COVER THINGS WHERE
THERE'S NOT A HAPPY ENDING,
WHERE THERE IS A TRAGEDY.
AND IT'S BAD NEWS.
IN THIS CASE, IT WAS REALLY
INTERESTING TO BE THERE WHEN IT
WAS A REALLY GOOD OUTCOME.
>> Ian: OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE THERE
ARE THRILLED AT THE OUTCOME,
ANXIOUS TO SEE THE BOYS.
WHEN MIGHT THAT HAPPEN?
>> Reporter: SOME OF THE PARENTS
HAVE ALREADY VISITED THE BOYS IN
THE HOSPITAL AND MORE WILL SOON.
THIS IS A STORY WHERE EVERYBODY,
EVERYBODY WAS ROOTING FOR THAT
TEAM AND FOR ALL THE RESCUERS
AND, YOU KNOW, REPORTER OR NOT,
YOU CAN'T HELP BUT BE TOUCHED BY
THAT.
>> Adrienne: NEXT ON "THE
NATIONAL," ON THIS CHRISTMAS
EVE, A HOLIDAY TRADITION PLAYS
OUT IN THE NETHERLANDS, ONE THAT
HONOURS FALLEN CANADIAN
SOLDIERS.
THAT'S OUR "MOMENT" RIGHT AFTER
THE BREAK.
>> THEY'RE LIBERATED BY THE
CANADIAN SOLDIERS DURING THE
WAR.
AND WE ARE SO HAPPY THAT THEY
LIBERATED US.
AND SO THERE'S A CONNECTION
BETWEEN CANADA AND THE
NETHERLANDS.
>> Adrienne: ON THIS CHRISTMAS
EVE, PEOPLE IN THE NETHERLANDS
ARE LIGHTING CANDLES AT THE
GRAVES OF FALLEN SOLDIERS FROM
THE SECOND WORLD WAR.
MANY OF THOSE SOLDIERS WERE, OF
COURSE, CANADIANS.
THIS IS A TRADITION THAT STARTED
DECADES AGO AT ONE CEMETERY.
FOUR YEARS AGO, ONE MAN, DICK
JANSEN, THOUGHT THAT HIS
COUNTRYMEN COULD DO BETTER THAN
THAT.
PEOPLE ARE GATHERING AT HUNDREDS
OF CEMETERIES IN THE NETHERLANDS
AND ACROSS WESTERN EUROPE.
THAT'S OUR "MOMENT" TONIGHT.
>> IT CAME OVER IN HOLDEN, 28
YEARS AGO, WITH A WOMAN FROM
FINLAND.
AND IT WAS A TRADITION IN
FINLAND TO BURN A CANDLE FOR
PEOPLE BY THEIR GRAVE ON
CHRISTMAS EVE.
SO I THOUGHT, WHY ONLY THERE?
THE YEAR LAST, WE HAD 250.
LAST YEAR, 280.
THIS YEAR, MORE THAN 325
LOCATIONS IN THE NETHERLANDS.
THE NETHERLANDS, THEY WERE
LIBERATED BY THE CANADIAN
SOLDIERS DURING THE WAR.
SO THERE'S A CONNECTION BETWEEN
CANADA AND THE NETHERLANDS.
THEY'RE OUR HEROES.
THEY PAID THE HIGHEST PRICE A
MAN OR A WOMAN CAN PAY AND IT'S
FOR YOUR AND MY FREEDOM.
WE CAN SPEAK AND DO WHAT WE LIKE
TO DO AND WE MAY NOT FORGET
THEM.
>> Adrienne: DICK JANSEN SAID
FOUR YEARS AGO WHEN HE THOUGHT,
WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS, LIKE
ANY MOVEMENT, HE THOUGHT HE
WOULD GET ONLY A MODEST
REACTION.
HE STARTED A FACEBOOK GROUP.
FIGURED MAYBE 20 PEOPLE WOULD
SIGN UP.
HE SAID THE REACTION WAS SO
SWIFT AND SO BIG HE THOUGHT HIS
COMPUTER WOULD BURN UP.
AND THAT FIRST YEAR THEY HAD 150
PLACES AND NOW 325 PLUS.
THAT ARE DOING THIS.
THAT IS "THE NATIONAL" ON THIS
CHRISTMAS EVE.
GOOD NIGHT.

天津女排排超联赛取佳绩，对中国女排国家队的发展有哪些启示- 互动热点 - Duration: 4:47.
北京时间12月23日讯：天 津女排在第二阶段排超联赛 八强战当中
一骑绝尘
始终领跑积分榜
把各支国内女排强队赢了一个 遍。
如今第二阶段排位赛赛程过半
天津女排依然保持着全胜战绩
而其他几支主要争冠对手
则彼此克制
互有胜负
看起来有形势稍好
和形势稍差
但还没有哪一支球队能像天津 女排一样提前上岸。
在这样的一种形 势下
李盈莹更是成为所有球队攻手 当中得分排名最高的队员
以至于在上一轮战胜山东女排 的比赛中
她全场拿下十三分
依然成为得分王
却有很好球迷看到这个13分
直言是不是把比分数据统计错 了
李盈莹为什么才拿13分？一 场三局的比赛
李盈莹拿13分
居然还会被球迷认为这是统计 错了数据
由此也可以从一个侧面佐证
李盈莹在国内联赛当中
现在几乎统治级的表现。
那么天津女排在 排超联赛当中取得如此佳绩
对中国女排国家队的未来发展 角度
有没有一些启示呢？这个问题 的答案当然是肯定的。
从李盈莹的闪光 和个人得分的一路领跑
也足以说明
现在无论中国国内联赛
还是国家队竞争的层面
都越来越变成了主要攻手之间 的进攻对绝。
一边需要打集体排球
又一边要让整支球队的配备
为主要攻手发挥更大的能量来 助力。
从这个角度上来说
李盈莹的进步来自于她自身的 天赋
以及实战当中的进步
也来自于其他球员的配合。
上次小编发文杨艺也是李盈莹 的黄金搭配
龚翔宇和张常宁还需相互成全
就是为了告诉大家
李盈莹的出色表现
离不开她背后的幕后英雄
不论是她的对角克兰切维奇
还是接应杨艺
都用自己出色的保障能力
为李盈莹的闪光创造了最好的 条件。
而天津女排和国 家队竞争层面的不同
又决定着天津女排对中国女排 国家队的启示
不只有正方面的
也有反方面的。
如今世界级的顶级球队
只有一两个球星的韩国队日益 走下坡路
完全走全面型路线的美国女排 也是成绩下滑
而既有全面性
各个位置都没有明显弱点
又有强力攻手的意大利女排和 塞尔维亚女排则是一步步走 上世界女排的巅峰。
从这个角度上来说
天津女排在国内联赛的一枝独 秀
在一定程度上也源于国内联赛 水平相对较低
激烈有余
但精神程度不足。
竞技水平上的竞争也急需加强 。
因此
天津女排在国内越是一枝独秀
中国女排就更需要让女排国家 队走在几个点上挖掘强力攻 手
同时让队伍在全面性上再进一 步提升的路线。
而国内的各支女 排球队
也不仅仅只是天津女排
包括江苏女排、
北汽女排、
辽宁女排、
上海女排还有山东女排
甚至包括恒大女排
这几支队伍
都需要在加强队伍全面性
培养年轻的有实力的攻手的道 路上继续前进。
也让我们期待着中国国内的女 排联赛
再上一个新的竞争层级！在朱 婷之外
在李盈莹、
张常宁和龚翔宇之外
为中国女排到世界更大舞台上 去竞争创造更好的人才储备 基础！

Monster Mill - 02 Mounting the Dual Axis - Duration: 7:14.
Llet's see what's new on the monster mill
So we have vectric here it's what I use to create my g-code and what I've done
is I've drawn the bottom plate so this whole thing represents the bottom plate
this line here and this line here represent the distance between my slots
on the mill actually these three lines do and you can see that this hangs past
the edge so unless I put a slot in here I have no way of getting a screw in
place that allows me to select my tool that I'm going to use and I selected a
12 millimeter and milk and
it said it was gonna do it in six passes I thought you know I'm not in a hurry
here so I want to edit that so I told it let's do one pass per millimeter 22
passes in total all right and set that up and so that will give me the in this
that will give me the 22 passes on here I want to cut inside these lines so I
tell it calculate it's warning me that it's going to cut through the material
and so now it's generated the tool pants for me and I want to verify that they
look good so I am going to tell it to preview all tools and I've got it slowed
down just to kind of show you what it should be doing so it's making a move
and it's cutting on one side coming around and cutting on the other and it
should not touch both walls at the same time so I should get a good clean path
using a conventional cutting which should eject the chips pretty well and
once that's done I'll be ready to bolt this back on to the the table section
and then bolt the table section down and as I said I could have done it more
aggressively maybe two and a half millimeters per pass but I've been out
of practice with machining heavy aluminum and I didn't want to take a
chance on messing it up I'm not really in a big of herself
there we go first thing I need to do is I've got this plate fairly lined up it
doesn't have to be like down to a thousandth of an inch I'm just cutting
some slots in there the next thing I need to do is make sure that it doesn't
move and if you haven't seen it before these are the parts of a clamping kit so
there's a T slot nut which looks like this it goes into the slot
this then the next thing that we have is the little staircase it sits like this
then this bar sits on top of it like that and you always want to make sure
that the bar is slightly facing downward then you put the nut on there so now the
force is downward okay so you've got my wrench
down evenly all right so now it's not going to go anywhere what I'm cutting
into it because I'm going to be cutting a slot here here here and here
so the next thing I need to do is I need to align my tool with this corner so I'm
going to go do that next off-camera I don't mind telling you I've been cutting
with a little 2 millimeter bits that are about like that big and this thing here
is a razor sharp single float 12 millimeter bit it's just freaking scary
man so it's been a while since I've cut big stuff so
so now I got to do is I've got to set the zero on this z-axis so I'm going to
bring it down a little bit good I'm gonna touch it off to zero and then I'm
going to raise the table up and that's how I'm gonna set my zip my zero point
all right so I've got my mists coolant ready so that will keep it cool bring
that down and put it close I'm going to set the feed override to about thirty
percent I'd rather do it a little bit slow and ramp up speed if I hand over to
East stop and rock on baby
this is enough for tonight I've got it mounted down here it is not going
anywhere and I had some little magnet so I stuck
them in here to hold the wire down it's kind of crazy but it'll work at least
for now so that's it for this video I'm gonna come up with something that I can
machine and we'll see where that takes us
so thanks for watching
you

The Truth About Christmas: Jesus, Santa, & Rudolf! - Duration: 5:20.
The popular legend of Christmas goes something like this:
Jesus was born on December 25
and / or Santa Clause, who lives at the North Pole
will fly with his reindeer around the world,
come down through the chimney at midnight December 25
dressed in a red and white suit,
and leave presents under an evergreen tree.
Now for the truth:
At the North Pole, the winter is dark.
The sun literally does not rise for weeks or months.
This is because the axis of the Earth is tilted.
In the summer, the North Pole of Earth is facing toward the sun
so it is daytime 24 hours a day.
In the winter, the North Pole is facing away from the sun
so it is nighttime 24 hours a day.
The tilt of Earth's axis is also the reason that, in the Northern Hemisphere,
the sun appears to sit higher in the sky in June
and lower in December.
The North Pole of Earth reaches its furthest point from the sun
on the Winter Solstice: December 21-23,
and it reaches its closest point to the sun
on the Summer Solstice: June 21-23.
The Fall and Spring Equinoxes are the exact halfway points between each extreme.
As the Earth rotates on its axis,
the sun appears to reach its highest point each day at 12 noon.
So if we look at the sun at 12 noon everyday of the year,
it appears to move higher and lower in the sky.
If we look at the sun at 12 noon on December 22
it appears to be at its lowest point in the year.
Then it begins to move higher until on March 21-23 it reaches its middle point,
and on June 21-23 it reaches its highest point.
Then it appears to move lower in the sky
until it reaches the middle point again on September 21-23
and its lowest point on December 21-23.
In the Polar regions the sun's lowest point in the sky
results in complete darkness for weeks or months.
This is called Polar Night.
The length of the Polar Night depends on the latitude.
At 70 degrees North Latitude,
the sun at 12 noon is just below the horizon on December 21
but on December 25 the noon sun is just above the horizon.
It reaches its lowest point from December 21-23,
then literally starts its ascent upward on December 25.
Long ago, people in the North lived in tee pee structures called yurts.
In order to stay warm, they would set a campfire in the middle of their yurt
and the smoke from the fire would exit through the hole in the roof.
In the winter, deep snow would accumulate around the outside of the yurt
so the hole in the roof (or chimney) was used as the door.
Food was also scarce during the winter,
so the people would dig around the base of evergreen trees
to find mushrooms.
In sub-arctic climates these were the red and white Amanita Muscaria mushrooms
that were symbionts with pine and birch trees.
The mushrooms were heavy when fresh
so they would dry the mushrooms on the branches of the pine trees
then come back later to gather them up in a big sack
and carry them back home and down their chimneys.
Reindeer are also known to dig for these red and white mushrooms
beneath Pine Trees.
The mushrooms can cause hallucinations of flying
which may explain the idea of flying reindeer.
December 25 was truly a date to celebrate for these people
because the sun literally went away and then came back on this date.
This yearly movement of the sun
was also viewed in ancient times at the rising and setting of the sun.
On the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere,
the sun rises to the right of due East,
on the Spring Equinox it rises in the middle of due East,
on the Summer Solstice, it rises to the left of due East,
and on the Fall Equinox it is back in the middle.
So, from our perspective on Earth there are four major positions of the sun
throughout the year: the Summer and Winter Solstices
and the Spring and Fall Equinoxes.
Facing South, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky at the start of summer
and its lowest point at the start of Winter.
Facing East, the sun rises to the far left at the start of summer
and rises to the far right at the start of winter.
This up, down, left, right movement of the sun from our perspective on Earth
was most likely the foundation of the ancient Sun Cross.
The ancient book of Psalms 19:4,5 says that the Sun is as a Bridegroom,
and Mark 2:18-20 says Jesus is the Bridegroom.
So the Sun, representing Jesus, dies on the cross around December 22 each year,
then rises again three days later on December 25.
This is not the actual birthday of Jesus,
instead it is the rising of the sun, representing Jesus.
For more information on the true birthday of Jesus,
the ancient calendar,
and / or recent fulfillments of ancient prophecy, see the links at the end of this video.

6 Reasons Why The English Like Apologising - Duration: 5:41.
6 Reasons Why the English Like Apologising It is no secret that English people like to
use the word 'sorry' a lot.
Originally, it was used to express remorse or apologise for wrongdoing, but English people
are using it for more.
Such as, apologising for bad weather and noisy restaurants, when you bump into them, when
someone sneezes, when asking a question, when they are late, etcetera – basically everything
and anything under the sun.
A YouGov study found out that an average British apologises 8 times a day, with 1 out of 8
apologising for up to 20 times a day.
In the past hour or two, they have said sorry at least once.
36% of British people are more likely to apologise for another person's clumsiness compared
to 24% of Americans.
British even readily apologise for things out of their control.
This study affirms a well-known fact – the English love saying sorry; probably as much
as they love their tea!
So, what might be the reasons for this love?
Number 1.
To express empathy They use sorry to acknowledge an unideal situation
regardless of whether its within their control or not.
If it is raining, an English man would most likely start the conversation with 'I'm
sorry about the rain…'
This habit of being empathic can be traced back to the first Anglo-Saxon speakers.
Sorry was then used to show remorse and apologise for minor inconveniences.
As English grew and evolved, the English people adopted this habit of saying 'sorry' for
minute inconveniences as a way of expressing empathy.
Number 2.
To get what you want Saying sorry is a clever means of getting
what you want.
Apologizing to a stranger before asking for favour warms their heart and makes them more
receptive to giving you what you want.
In fact, there is an experiment by Harvard Business School's Alison Wood Brooks backing
this.
A male actor approached a total of 65 people, 30 of whom were women, when it was raining
and asked to use their phone.
In the first group, he apologised for the rain before going ahead and borrowing their
phone.
In the second, he directly asked for their phone without any apology beforehand.
47% of individuals positively responded to him when he first apologized, compared to
9% when he didn't.
He got what he wanted because he apologised for something that's clearly out of his
control.
This made him look trustworthy and humane, hence, people easily gave in to his request.
Number 3.
To foster trust An English person is more likely to apologise
before sitting next to you or asking a question.
They will also readily apologise for harsh climatic conditions.
Apologizing for circumstances you can't control like bad weather shows you understand
someone else' perspective and how bad the situation is.
It's like you are putting yourself in their shoes.
It makes you look trustworthy and more approachable.
An experiment was carried out where 178 students played a financial computer game located in
different rooms.
They were warned in advance that sometimes the computer would override their decisions.
Students whose partners apologised when that happened were rated by their partners to be
more trustworthy than those who didn't.
Number 4.
To soften awkward and confrontational interactions Should an English man find himself in an awkward
or otherwise confrontational situation, they are more likely to blurt out 'sorry' than
any other word.
It's a reflex.
In fact, if they hit a lamp post, they will apologise!
It just comes naturally.
One reason for this is to avoid an otherwise unfavourable interaction.
Picture this: You are walking down the street.
Accidentally, you bump into someone.
Let's assume this individual is passive aggressive.
But then, you immediately say 'I'm so sorry for bumping into you'.
Even if the person was going to give you a piece of his mind, they would probably rethink.
Now, the English take this to another level.
They will apologise even if you are the one who hit them.
Kate Fox carried out an experiment for her book 'Watching the English: The Hidden Rules
of English Behaviour' where she intentionally bumped into English people on the street.
She found out that 80% of individuals apologised even though it clearly was Kate's own fault.
The reason: to diffuse an otherwise awkward or confrontational social interaction.
Number 5.
Because of their society The English society, unlike America, embraces
negative politeness.
America's is positive politeness.
Negative politeness states that interactions of social nature emphasizes boundaries.
Positive politeness, on the other hand, values friendships and closeness over boundaries.
If someone wants to borrow your phone in, say, a positive polite society, they would
say something in the lines of: 'Hey my friend, how about you lending me your phone?'
The person leverages on friendship when he says 'my friend' to make the request.
The same situation would unfold differently in a negative polite society like in England.
That's because they approach situations cautiously to avoid confrontation and imposition.
An English person would say something like; 'Sorry, I was wondering if you could lend
me your phone'.
Sorry and please are frequently used to caution their requests.
Number 6.
As a way of being polite The English people pride themselves in their
remarkably good manners and social etiquette.
They are generally more polite than their European neighbours and Western counterparts.
The only other country that comes close is Japan.
Since saying sorry is considered a word showing politeness, they naturally say it more as
a reflection of who they are.
In conclusion The English apologise more than anyone because
they use 'sorry' in contexts other people wouldn't.
Next time you are in England, be prepared to hear more 'sorry' than your ears are
used to.

5 Poi Tips for Learning New Tricks - Duration: 5:26.
I know, I know!
You came here to learn poi tricks and believe me I will be happy to oblige, but today I
wanted to talk a little bit about how we learn because it has a huge impact on your experience
of picking up those new tricks.
Drex here from DrexFactor.com and today I'm sharing with you my top 5 tips for picking
up new poi tricks.
Please join my notification squad by hitting the subscribe button and the notification
bell so you know exactly when I drop a new video.
I'd also like to send out a quick thank you to the friends of the channel!
Big thanks to Dark Monk, Flowtoys, LMF Props, Spinballs, and Ultrapoi for helping to make
the videos on this channel possible.
You can learn more about each of them by following the links down in the description of this
video.
Any way you slice it, learning something new can sometimes be a challenge.
Sometimes you pick something up right away like it was always meant to be.
Sometimes you'll agonize over a new trick for months or even years with no relief in
sight.
I recently picked up a trick I was working on for over a year and it was a great reminder
of some of the best ways I know to approach learning.
Now I'd like to share some of those lessons with you!
Tip number 5: Break down a trick into smaller pieces
New tricks are always more intimidating when you take them as a whole.
Make your life easier by looking not at what the trick is, but at what it's made of.
Every trick is made up of several more base level skills that come together as a whole
to make a more complex skill possible.
The foundation to success in learning anything is to figure out what all these base-level
skills are and get to work drilling them.
Break the trick down piece-by-piece to figure out what each of these skills are and work
on mastering each of them before moving onto the next step.
Not only will this make the final trick easier to get down, but it'll also teach you foundational
skills that may be helpful for other similar tricks!
Tip number 4: Identify where improvement is needed
None of us likes to admit it when we've got room to improve.
It's easy to throw our hands up and just say it wasn't meant to be or maybe this
trick isn't for me.
But finding those moments where you have an opportunity to improve are absolutely critical
for your growth not only as an artist but also as a human being.
It can be hard looking at your work and seeing how far away it is from what you want it to
be, but by identifying the things you'd like to improve on it'll help you set goals
and get from point A to point B.
And let's face it: dealing with your own internal critic is a huge challenge as well.
But the other option is to just simply stall out.
For the work you've already put in to become irrelevant.
So look at those flaws and those places where the trick doesn't look right not as flaws
but as opportunities.
You get to learn something new.
And when you make a breakthrough it always feels good.
Tip number 3: Ask for help
This might be one of the hardest pieces of advice on this list but I can't overemphasize
how important it can be.
Let's be honest with ourselves, here: I don't know everything and neither do you.
But sometimes there are people out there who've come before us and can help us through some
of the harder parts.
They can help us identify where we're going wrong and how we can fix those problems.
It's also not uncommon that we get stuck in a place where we are so focused on one
aspect of our training that we totally miss something else that's not working.
Having another set of eyes can help to clarify that.
Know when to ask for help as well as when you just need to sit on your practice for
a little while.
It's a bit of wisdom that comes with time but ultimately will save you a lot of strife.
Tip number 2: Be patient with yourself
Hey, this stuff is hard.
If it weren't then everyone would be doing it.
Cut yourself some slack.
The fact that it's taking a while to learn something new doesn't mean that you're
bad at it.
It just means that the road to getting there has a few bumps in it.
If you're getting frustrated, tired, or just need a breather in general don't be
afraid to take a fiver or break for the night.
You're going to make mistakes and take wrong turns in learning new things.
It's okay.
Forgive yourself.
You're human and it's going to happen.
Remember why you started spinning poi.
How good it felt when you learned your first few tricks.
You're going to feel that again, you just need to be patient.
Tip number 1: Commit to the journey, not the destination
Okay, so this is going to sound like the most counter-intuitive piece of advice on this
list, but bear with me.
On one hand, a lot of people will set goals by saying they want to get a given trick down
by such and such a date and those goals can be very helpful for motivating people to practice
regularly.
But on the other, you can't really schedule breakthroughs.
They tend to happen when they're going to happen and only after you've laid down the
groundwork for them.
And yes: we all know that you're practicing because you want to learn that new trick,
but the fact of the matter is you're going to spend way more time working up to that
trick than you will doing it.
So here's my novel suggestion: commit not to getting down gunslingers or polyrhythm
hybrids or whatever other tricks you have on the to-do list, commit to practicing them.
Set aside some time every day or every week that you're going to work on this new trick.
Commit to the journey, not the destination.
If you make the practice itself the reward, it's going to become a whole lot less frustrating.
And it's going to make your experience as a poi spinner so much more pleasant.

[파키텍트] 울산항에 놀이공원 차려봄 | 시나리오 "㈜행복 항구" | Parkitect : HappyCo Harbor - Duration: 13:20.
Today's campaign is "HappyCo Harbor."
The land is small, and the surrounding buildings are all hateful.
Make sure that the structures outside the border are hidden from the customer's sight.
I build a small food court right away.
The map is small, so I'll build it right in front of the entrance.
I'll build it like a factory building in line with the deliveries.
I've saved space by putting the staff room on the second floor.
The balloon could get through the ceiling, so I put it outside.
It's like a factory now since I covered the roof.
I put some pipes on the wall to make it look plausible.
The side of the pier is walled and finished with barbed wire to make it realistic.
It's like a fence in the military base I used to serve.
I'll make a small central square.
I'll put some decorations on the info kiosk to make it stand out.
Yes, It looks better now.
Toilet and first aid room will also be on the side of the square.
Prepare thoroughly the details of the guide signs
I also make some flower beds.
Now let's get down to business - build the first coaster.
This is steel coaster and I have to cross it up because the space is small.
It's going back through a 360 loop and cockscrewes.
It's a waste of free space, so I'll compress it as much as I can.
I'll make the station look like a half-mixed factory and warehouse.
a shiny bling-bling combination of tin walls and tin roof
I don't know what it is, but I'm going to highlight something like a tower.
Finished a station building that feels like a factory warehouse
I'll add a flat ride right away.
It's so bland when I put it on the flat surface, but it's impossible to fix the terrain.
So I put the ride on a single space upper and supports it on the wall.
Let's finish in a blank corner with a decoration.
The dock should have some containers.
I finished it with a little effort, but it looks plausible.
It looks more like a prison entrance than a park.
With such a high ride, I think we should make it look like a tower crane.
It raises columns and builds support like a temporary building.
Too high :-/
But I'm glad we can protect our passengers from the rain.
Let's build the second coaster: a wooden coaster.
We're gonna have to pack it in that little space, too.
Well done.
I'll make it look like a prefabricated factory building to suit the mood.
How did the developer know about the sandwich panel?
Panels + tin pavement + barbed wire = real factory
It's too big for me, but it looks good on me.
It also put a lot of pipes.
Let's fill this narrow space here.
It's a good place to put containers.
I finished it so simple.
Now I'm going to expand the park.
It's a good place to put a second food court.
It is also created by container style, but...
with a little change, it's a "opened" container concept.
It is now the last coaster of today, floorless coaster.
Make it pass as far as possible between the existing coaster.
It's a close call.
This is also a giant open container concept.
The ventilation is going to be great.
The goal of this campaign is to complete 3 coasters with 50+ excitement,
so it will be over if I open this coaster. Let's finish decorating before that.
Place containers in an ambiguous empty space.
We're gonna have to fill this space.
This is Ulsan port in Korea where cars are exported.
Now you know what's going to be in the rest of the space?
Let's Ctrl+CV them using blueprint.
It's much more authentic than the original container prop.
* Do not stack containers sloppily.
Well done. Let's finish.

「神秘男」飛抵肯亞 攪動非洲政局！他是「普京廚師」 干涉美國大選 - Duration: 10:18.
這篇講個人物的故事
先從事件說起。
俄羅斯要重返非洲？ 你沒看錯！最近一段時間俄羅斯和非洲的關係開始密切起來。
這被西方視為是俄羅斯要「重返非洲」的標誌。
所謂的重返非洲也就是更加關注非洲事務。
蘇聯解體以來
俄羅斯自顧不暇
蘇聯時期對非洲的大量援助都被削減
非洲成了西方和其他國家角逐的舞台。
但是如今的普京對非洲越來越感興趣。
去年俄羅斯高官訪問了西非地區的法語國家
引起法國的警覺
因為俄羅斯給當地提供了大量的軍事援助和發展項目支持。
上周聯合國投票向當地派遣維和部隊
俄羅斯與法國等國還「唱反調」
法國很不高興。
馬克龍總統如今正在查德的訪問
就被視為是加強法國在當地存在
以應對俄羅斯挑戰的一個信號。
另外
俄羅斯也正在考慮開拓一個非洲港口
這在歷史上也是很罕見的事情。
這個港口據說在東非的厄利垂亞
距離美國和日本在非洲設立的軍事基地吉布地
只有100多公里遠。
雖然俄羅斯稱這只是商業項目
不過很多西方分析師認為
俄羅斯或許要在未來把這裡打造成一個「軍事基地」
或者具有「準軍事用途」。
最近木叔又注意到一則消息
讓俄羅斯可能「染指」非洲成為焦點。
這是12月24日肯亞主流媒體標準日報的文章。
該媒體稱
一架屬於普京最信任的助手之一的私人飛機上周在該國首都內羅畢的威爾遜機場降落。
這是名叫葉夫蓋尼·普里高津的人的飛機
飛機型號是M-VITO
周一從蘇丹首都喀土穆降落在內羅畢
並一直待到周末。
普里高津被稱為「普京的廚師」
因為他的一家公司為克里姆林宮提供餐飲服務。
此人被國際新聞媒體視為俄羅斯「重返非洲」的關鍵角色之一。
今年8月
俄羅斯媒體「生意人報」刊登了一篇調查報道
指Prigozhin的另一家公司正在資助非洲幾個國家的政治研究
其中包括被稱為「非洲項目」重要關注國的肯亞。
「生意人報」了解到
在馬達加斯加、
南非、
肯亞和其他幾個非洲國家剛剛舉行選舉
或者未來1-2年都會舉行大選
俄羅斯政治分析人員正在監測這些國家的社會政治形勢和社動向。
肯亞去年舉行了選舉。
但據了解
該項目是長期的
大約兩年。
普里高津的身份不止如此
他還在不久之前因干涉美國大選而被美國列入了制裁名單。
紐約時報將普里高津的公司稱為「網際網路研究機構」
是「分裂美國的挑釁性問題的主要來源
包括種族、
宗教、
槍枝法和同志權利等
特別涉及到2016年總統大選」。
可見他和俄羅斯政府的關係不一般。
那麼這次他到肯亞做什麼？到目前為止還是秘密
但是有跡象可循—— 據悉
降落在內羅畢的飛機上共有5人
他們的身份仍然是個謎。
肯亞政府拒絕透露他們是誰
以及普里高津是否屬於他們中的一部分。
飛機離開肯亞後
降落在了西非國家查德首都的恩賈梅納停留數日。
不久後
法國總統馬克龍抵達查德訪問。
此人還控股一些媒體
被指傳播克里姆林宮的聲音
美化普京政績
保護高層免受異議人士的宣傳傷害。
另外
這名神秘的商人還有一個名為華格納集團 （Wagner）的私人軍事集團
該集團積極參與中非共和國正在進行的戰爭。
俄羅斯高層與非洲國家簽署的多項軍事合作協議中
最重要的就在中非共和國。
法國和俄羅斯因為此事在聯合國維和行動投票發生的不快
也涉及到該國局勢。
華格納集團成為人們關注的焦點是在今年7月
當時有3名俄羅斯記者在中非共和國遇害
據說他們正在調查該集團在中非的相關內容。
就在普里高津離開蘇丹首都不久
12月23日蘇丹方面宣布已與俄羅斯國有公司Rosatom簽署協議
建設一座核電站。
Rosatom同時也一直在推動肯亞建立核電站。
肯亞媒體還在觀察後續
看是否像蘇丹一樣
普里高津秘密訪問後不久
該國核電站合同也傳出新動向。
刻赤衝突爆發至今
已有一個多月。
作為當事人
俄烏兩國均沒有釋放談判信號
而是加緊備戰。
英國更是派出了軍艦支援烏克蘭
美國則向烏克蘭海軍緊急撥款了1000萬美元。
俄烏大戰眼看一觸即發
那麼
烏克蘭真的會主動發起挑釁嗎？12月23日
據俄羅斯衛星通訊社消息稱
俄外長拉夫羅夫表示
「根據我們獲得的補充信息
波羅申科計劃12月底在與俄羅斯克里米亞接壤的地區發動武裝挑釁
我們有意相信該信息。
」 另外
拉夫羅夫還表示
莫斯科不會與基輔開戰
相關部門正在採取一切必要措施避免出現衝突行為。
" 從俄外長的話來看
俄羅斯掌握了比較確切的消息
烏克蘭挑起戰爭似乎勢在必然。
但俄羅斯又不想與烏克蘭正面衝突
所以正在想法設法阻撓戰爭發生。
當然
戰鬥民族也不是吃素的。
俄外長也說了
如果波羅申科在烏俄邊境發起挑釁
那麼他將會得到回應
俄羅斯不會讓克里米亞受到侵犯。
那麼
波羅申科會挑起戰火嗎？無論是從目前雙方的備戰情況
還是從兩國關係的緊張來看
雙方維持著一種斗而不破的局面。
即便爆發戰爭
那也只是一場有限度的戰鬥。
因為俄外長表示
波羅申科被西方建議保持低強度的戰鬥行動
以便不引發俄方的全面回應。
由此可見
避免俄羅斯全面打擊烏克蘭
是烏克蘭和西方集團的基本共識。
通過有限度的戰鬥可以宣洩烏克蘭對俄羅斯的不滿。
西方並不希望因此與俄羅斯產生全面衝突。
保持烏克蘭這個戰略緩衝帶不被俄羅斯占有
才是西方的戰略底線。
對俄羅斯而言
與烏克蘭全面戰爭
也不是一個明智的選擇。
當下
俄羅斯還在敘利亞鏖戰
美國已經從敘利亞和阿富汗宣布撤軍
能夠騰出手來應對俄羅斯的挑戰。
而刻赤衝突
則為美國打壓俄羅斯提供了一個新的契機。
在敘利亞戰爭還未結束之際
俄羅斯也不想陷入兩線作戰的境地。
事實上
俄羅斯還沒有足夠的能可以同時應對海外兩場戰爭。
因此
俄外長拉夫羅夫表示
我國不會與烏克蘭開戰
俄羅斯不必切斷俄烏之間關係。
這表明
俄羅斯仍希望與烏克蘭保持通話
通過政治途徑來解決矛盾衝突。
如果萬一談不攏
雙方發生火拚
依據俄羅斯的民族性格
自然不會放過對方。
總而言之
俄烏衝突的後果是嚴重的。
無論是對歐洲還是對俄羅斯
或者對美俄地緣博弈
都將產生一系列連鎖反應。
避免美俄硬碰硬是兩國的戰略底線
也是兩國的政治默契。
所以
保持克制
展開談判才是化解危機的唯一途徑。
烏克蘭更不應該充當西方的炮灰
而成全美國的地緣利益。
特朗普這個奇葩最近又想出了很多好玩的事情
比如關閉政府
逼迫國防部長辭職
當然最讓他面子掛不住的還是被法國總統以及土耳其總統大罵」騙子「。
特朗普在從政之前
在商業資本市場上翻雲覆雨
可以說
他是一個成功的商人
他眼光刁鑽
他敢於冒險
這也是他能積累巨額財富的根本原因
但是商業上的頭腦似乎並沒有成功的運用到他的政治生涯當中。
從突然解僱國防部長到關閉政府
這都是他的小算盤
也可以說是為了他自己的利益
然而他的做法在美國引起了廣泛的非議
這也是讓他十分的頭疼
再加上長期在敘利亞的駐軍
民眾的情緒似乎不可平復
於是他想到利用撤軍來穩固民心。
他在推特上宣布了撤軍計劃
這遭到了包括法國總統在內的多人的強烈不滿
大罵特朗普是個騙子
特朗普將盟軍帶到了敘利亞
但現在卻是為了自己」穩固民心「的小利益打算偷偷撤軍溜出敘利亞
這也是讓盟友們大罵騙子
土耳其總統埃爾多安也向特朗普表達了強烈不滿,
可以用說這也讓特朗普丟盡了老臉！ 這是一個人口不足500萬
但華人卻占全國總人口數7成的袖珍小國
卻跟中國沒多少親情； 這是一個毫無縱深的
國土尚不足中國一個縣市大的彈丸小國
歷來兵家必爭之地
卻安穩了數十年； 這是一個被趕出去才獨立的芝麻小國
卻靠騎牆戰術
憑藉地理優勢
一躍成為亞洲四小龍之一
風光無限； 然而
它卻跟中國一點都不親
還成為了我們「心頭之恨」。
這個國家
不用軍事帝過多介紹
就是大家最為熟知的新加坡。
可以說在這幾件事情上
特朗普的商人本質暴露無遺
為了自己的私利
從來不考慮其他國家的看法
想必這樣下去盟友們也會變成一團散沙
我們就拭目以待美國怎樣充當」世界警察這個角色吧！「

Skull Beach - CRT (Official Music Video) - Duration: 3:29.
nothing can happen, until you swing the bat
I'm too weak to stand
broken and gone
my screen is cracked and torn
the signal fell off
what the hell can I do?
won't even cry
too tired to face my fears
but I'm still alive
C

that's what I want to be
buried deep in the ground

that's what I want to be
obsolete in your arms
oh god please wake up
you've been through worse before
you never said to settle
break the circuit board
things will be fine
revel in your scars
carry all that weight
knowing you're not lost

that's what I want to be
buried deep

that's what I want to be
obsolete in your arms
you've been hit a thousand times
so take a thousand more
Smiling through it all
makes you much stronger than before
never know If you'll survive
when every day's your last
do until you die
cause nothing ever seems to pass
C

that's what I want to be
