What I Wish I Knew Before Going To The College;

Underwritten by Tristan James Jr.

From the time you enter high school, college (and a four-year university in particular) is often presented as the end goal.

Once your junior year rolls around teachers, peers, and family members start throwing out a barrage of questions your way: are you looking at colleges yet? which ones have you visited? what’s your personal statement going to be about? what do you want to major in? when do you start applications? what about sororities? how about roommates? My head is spinning thinking about it.

“In 1636, European colonists (as the story usually goes) founded “New College,” now known as Harvard University.”

JULIA KRAMER

High school is a microclimate, making for a confusing experience, at the end of which you’re supposed to be “grown.” It acts as a small town, where everyone knows everything, news spreads like wildfire, and everyone is talking behind each other’s backs.

It’s a place where good influences and bad influences collide to form the person you will enter the “real world” as.

Back then, colleges were attended by wealthy Puritans who would inherit family business and go on to be leaders of the new world as proper, well educated Christians. So from the beginning, college was associated with greater success and wealth.

“I’m not here to deny that anyone with a college education will likely earn a significantly higher salary than those who don’t.”

INSIDERNOTES

But don’t worry it gets worse.

If you’re like me and genuinely interested in learning more about the world or god forbid making it a better place, be prepared to drown in debt, working a minimum wage job until you die (just kidding…sort of).

After I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from UC Santa Barbara (not because it was “easy” but because I was passionate about the subject), it was not lost on me that my 40 thousand dollar degree would get me nowhere.

There Are 4 Kinds Of Racists: Which One Are You?

Underwritten by Tristan James Jr.

I’ve been a victim of racism for most of my life. This has given me the intuition and hindsight to infallibly detect the type of racist one is dealing with.

First, there are the Empathetic racists. They call you up whenever there’s a racist incident reported on in the media. They demonstrate alongside you at Black Lives Matter protests, they talk about how shocked they are at open displays of racism.

“They work to ensure that everyone is treated fairly. They work toward a better world for humanity.”

GETREVUE

The Supremacist racists are those that believe that white people are superior to black and brown people. They categorize all nonwhites as sub-human. In fact, they dehumanize black people to better abuse them.

They feel threatened by what they say is “the big replacement”: a white extremist theory that says that black and brown people are willfully trying to out-populate white people.

“Without the iPhone cameras filming, these people will kill black people whenever they have a chance.”

GETREVUE

So the reality is that racists can belong to one or several of the above categories. Some can be Supremacist racists and Sadist racists at the same time.

Others can be Empathetic racists and Fetishist racists. Cross-pollination occurs across these categories all the time, but whatever the racist, they are harmful and sometimes life-threatening to black and brown people.

Jungle Cruise

Underwritten by Tristan James Jr.

Almost after 2 years of original release date, Disney+ is going to bring Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt’s family-friendly movie Jungle Cruise to the theaters this summer.

“Out there is not funny. It’s everything and has nothing to do with you but, you’ve come to seek vapor in the badland.”

As like other movies Mulan, Raya, and The Last Dragon, Black Widow you can easily enjoy this film from home only. This is because Disney+ has officially announced that the movie is going to hit the streaming platform on the same day as theaters.

Ergo, this is the reason why filmmakers have decided to ask for $30 from all the viewers of this film.

DISNEY

You should not expect to stick with the Premier access strategy of Disney in long run. This is because Deadline has reported that Disney+ is thinking to revive the theatrical business.

Meanwhile, the upcoming movie Jungle Cruise will be available for the Disney+ subscribers at regular subscriptions after a certain time period.

DISNEY

Ever wondered what it would be like if you combined Werner Herzog’s ‘Aguirre, the Wrath of God’ (1972) with John Huston’s ‘The African Queen’ (1951) and transformed the result into a two hour long kid’s movie? No, neither have I and I would’ve doubted any rational or sane person would ‘ve either.

SA it seems that the execs at Disney are in no way rational or sane people because that’s exactly what they’ve done with ‘Jungle Cruise’ (2021), which is only appropriate as this movie feels neither written nor directed but constructed solely from studio diktats (‘Jungle Cruise’ is based on a Disney theme park ride ⅞ studio memos go floating by).

See screenshots below,

So that’s Jungle Cruise’ — a two hour, incomprehensible, unnatural affront on every single level that cost $300 million to make and market.

Malaysia: From COVID role model to a mini India

Underwritten by Tristan James Jr.

The horrific and heartbreaking scenes at Malaysian hospitals are akin to a disaster movie. An overwhelmed healthcare system and overworked medical staff have struggled to cope with the exponential growth in COVID-19 admissions.

Canvas beds have been put up in hospital car parks, several patients have had to share the same oxygen canister, and some life-saving procedures had to be performed on hospital floors. Doctors have reported that whole families have been admitted together to hospitals and some have died together.

“Now, I just have no emotions, it is what it is … death has become so frequent that you become numb,”

ALJAZEERA

To keep up with the rising death counts, bodies have had to be stacked up on trolleys and pushed to the morgues. Volunteer undertakers have been handling nearly 30 times more bodies than they did last year.

Malaysia’s biggest COVID-19 fear was becoming a mini-India and unfortunately, it has come true. Its daily infection and death counts per capita surpassed India’s peak. At the end of July, Malaysia’s daily cases per million people stood at 515.9 and its daily deaths per million were at 4.95; by contrast, at its peak, India reached 283.50 cases and 3.04 deaths. The country also has the highest per-million cases in Asia, and one of the highest per-million deaths in Southeast Asia.

“This is a dramatic reversal of fortunes for a country once deemed the role model in handling the pandemic”

ALJAZEERA

Malaysia celebrated as local transmissions reached zero for a few days, garnering praise from foreign experts, academics, and organisations such as the World Health Organization. The Malaysian government’s swift actions to implement a full-scale lockdown, invest in testing and medical facilities, and deploy proactive communication with the public resulted in fewer cases than in the rest of Southeast Asia.

Malaysia’s director-general of health, Dr Noor Hisham, was given the highest civilian honour and was named alongside the US’s Dr Anthony Fauci and New Zealand’s Ashley Bloomfield as the top health officials in the battle against COVID19.

Senegalese plant circular gardens in Green Wall defence

Underwritten by Tristan James Jr.

Every night, Moussa Kamara works at his bakery preparing hundreds of loaves. But at sunrise, instead of going home to sleep, he now starts a second back-breaking job – hoeing the earth and tending newly sown seeds in a specially designed circular garden.

Kamara, 47, believes the garden will prove even more important than the bakery in the future for feeding his extended family, including 25 children, and other residents of Boki Dawe, a Senegalese town near the border with Mauritania.

He is part of a project that aims to create hundreds of such gardens – known as “Tolou Keur” in Senegal’s Wolof language – that organisers hope will boost food security, reduce regional desertification and engage thousands of community workers.

“This project is incredibly important,” said Kamara, finally at home after a night spent at the bakery followed by 10 hours of cultivating edible and medicinal plants in the garden.

The project marks a new, more local approach to what is known as the Green Wall initiative, launched in 2007, that aims to slow desertification across Africa’s Sahel region, the arid belt south of the Sahara Desert, by planting an 8,000km (4,970 miles) line of trees from Senegal to Djibouti.

The wider initiative has only managed to plant 4 percent of the pledged 100 million hectares (247 million acres) of trees, and completing it by 2030, as planned, could cost up to $43bn, according to United Nations estimates.

ALJAZEERA

Self Sufficiency

By contrast, the Tolou Keur gardens have flourished in the seven months since the project began and now number about two dozen, said Senegal’s reforestation agency.

Three months after a garden is completed, its agents begin a series of monthly visits over two years to assess progress.

Project manager Karine Fakhoury said it was important that local people felt fully engaged: “This is not an external project, where somebody comes from outside and tells people what to do. It is something entirely indigenous.”

The gardens are partly a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ALJAZEERA

Senegal shut its borders early last year to try to curb the spread of the coronavirus, cutting imports and exposing rural communities’ dependence on foreign food and medicines.

“The day people realise the full potential of the Great Green Wall, they will stop these dangerous migration routes where you can lose your life at sea,” he said. “It’s better to stay, work the soil, cultivate and see what you can earn.”
