You probably don't know this about U.S. elections | HKS Professor Alex Keyssar - Duration: 4:12.

[Announcer] Harvard Kennedy School presents

three things you didn't know about U.S. elections.

Number one.

There is no right to vote in the U.S. Constitution.

[Keyssar] It was not in the original Constitution.

It was not in the Bill of Rights.

This surprises most people.

The states had already developed franchise requirements

of their own and thinking in Philadelphia

was that if they chose any particular standard

it might well antagonize people from some states.

So, in effect they punted, didn't say anything

and left it to the states.

There have been attempts to add a right to vote

to the constitution and they have all failed

and never come close.

[Announcer] Number two.

Historically, voter suppression was not just a southern

problem.

[Keyssar] Most of us are quite aware that in the late 19th and

early 20th century, there were massive voter suppression

and disenfranchisement efforts in the south

that were aimed at African Americans.

What is less well known, is that there was an analogous

movement, less severe, but none the less important,

in the northern states to keep immigrant workers

from voting.

There were literacy requirements to vote

in many northern states, including Massachusetts.

There was an English language literacy requirement

that was passed in New York in 1921

and it remained on the books until the late 1960s.

In Minnesota there were laws that were passed

that prevented people who work in the timber industry,

these people were seen as itinerant,

and they were not allowed to vote.

Or one of my favorite examples,

was the suppression of Jewish voters in New York City

early in the 20th century for several years.

When New York had an annual registration requirement,

you had to register every year in order to vote.

And in one year to limit the voting strength

of New York's Jews and particularly New York's Jewish

socialists, the only registration days

were on the Jewish high holidays of Yom Kippur

and Rosh Hashanah.

[Announcer] Number three.

In the late 1960s, the U.S. almost abandoned

the Electoral College, but then it didn't.

[Keyssar] It has in recent years been a great deal of attention

focused on the Electoral College

and with good reason.

Because we have had two presidents within the last 20 years

have been elected, who did not win the popular vote.

What people don't know is that we got very close

to eliminating the Electoral College

and replacing it with a National popular vote

in 1969 and 70.

The impetus for it was coming

from several different directions.

The first was that from the late 1940s

through out the 50s, there were movements

to reform and nobody really thought

that it was a very good institution or a very wise one.

A second, was the Supreme Court decisions on districting

issues in the early 1960s would proclaim loudly

and clearly and unmistakably that the fundamental

democratic principle was one person one vote.

And it was very hard to embrace that principle

without thinking that perhaps it should apply

to presidential elections as well.

In September of 1969, the House of Representatives

voted by, I think it was, 82 percent

to amend the constitution

to get rid of the Electoral College

and have a National popular vote.

It was killed by a filibuster, led by souther senators.

But there was a real democratic surge.

A surge of a democratic ethos in the United States

in the 1960s and it almost carried are way forward

into getting rid of the Electoral College.

all the holy row lifting up holy Oh

Chris and Jason thank you guys for just an incredible performance of this song

super cool to hear it broken down because on the recording man it's like

yes driving yes master yes but Chris we'll start with you a

little bit I'm not surprised that you've written a song called holy roar just

because I know that thoughts been in your head for a while of course it was

the title of your subtitle of the book you were involved with yeah and wrote

the seven Hebrew words of praise yeah and but talk about this idea a little

bit and it just keeps coming up and more we talk about songs and and the future

of the you know feature Christians in heaven and everybody's singing around

the throne and this whole idea of this holy roar is really prevalent in all

this conversations yes oh yeah like you said we had a book haven't been a part

of over the last year called holy roar it's seven words it'll change the way

you worship this idea of there's so much behind praise and we talk about what it

means to praise God there's so much more than I ever even knew and my eyes were

open to like what it really means to praise God and so we wrote this this

this book about it and I've been in that and I've been looking for the song holy

roar cuz I thought gosh you know back in the day when we first when the early

early days the beginnings of passion you might remember there was a song holy Roy

by Nathan Christie mmm-hmm and Knuckles and I always always that even even then

I was like wow when I heard when I heard them sing that I was like I love the

picture that that is of worship of praise when I think of when I think a

holy roar you know I think of the sound of like you said of God's people the

sound of the church the sound of all creation or even God even revelation

says and I heard that and I heard the Angels numbering thousands upon

thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand in a loud voice it says in a

loud voice singing worthy is the lamb or these lamb holy holy holy as the Lord

God Almighty can you imagine that sound and it's the songs

really an invitation for the church to join in that sound to join in that

experience of worship of the of just all of creation all people of God everyone

has let you know the psalm let everything that has breath praise the

Lord that's the idea of a holy roar and what that and I want to be a part of

that I know I want to be a part of that and there's a even as a worship leader

you know it's just I feel like this is such a good song of invitation to the

Church of just like you know you know welcome this morning we're gonna join in

the home the sound of creation we're reaching for heaven you know you just

you feel that in the in this holy roar and and honestly if I try I've tried to

write this song several times and completely failed until I finally wised

up and said this guy over here I said Jason this is Jason Ingram and I said

Jason is you know I've got this whole ear or idea I've been sitting with it

and you know can you help me write this and as Jason does he just goes to into

his little mad scientist world and and and says man what about this idea and I

remember he had this this whole it was a lot of the song just in this one little

voice memo to me he's like what do you think of this and you know Jason is one

of the great greatest songwriters of our time and I love it this is a first

worship together new song cafe I've made it you've made it behind so many songs

that are part of worship together that are in any stream of if you love worship

music you've been affected by him I mean it's from Bethel to Hillsong to

elevation to vertical to my all of my stuff to passion Jason's been behind all

of us so many so many many songs not to say among many many other artists but

especially in the worship space because I know Jason has that heart of worship a

little song called greater you Lord you may have heard of that yeah Jason you

know part of that in I don't know it was just fun writing this song together

fun for me it wouldn't Chris sent me that the text about wanting to come

around this title I had read his book and so I had and was so inspired by it

and when we got together he was he said you know I just want to sort of like

frame my life mission and I just felt like what a the Chris that I known what

he's given his life to all these years and I just thought what a beautiful that

when you look at the lyrics of this song and you look at Chris and the mission on

his life it just it for me it's just such a beautiful story and I do think

this song is so accessible and we just want to write something that everyone

can use and and sing and and and reach for heaven with you know yeah and roars

such an interesting word I was thinking about this a little bit yesterday when

we were preparing for these songs they're talking about it but you know a

lot of times you think of that word it's it's something that's intimidating it's

in your face but you know what's awesome about this song is that when God's

people roar it's it's a roar of of healing of of inclusion and it walls

come down yeah in peace and so it's a you know a holy roar is it's not an

offensive thing you know it's a way it's it's people worshipping God and drawing

all men and women and all the things that the world roars about you know just

think about all the all the arenas that are filled up with people roaring about

whatever and but there's something special when you put holy in front of it

because holy means set apart it means unique it means unlike any other it's a

word only reserved for God yeah and you put a holy and then a roar the roar the

sound the sound of God's people the awesome sound this the powerful sound

that that those two together it's a beautiful picture of what worship really

is yeah yeah it is worship in times it's just really on our face just quiet and

just stunned and speechless and there's other times we're joining the all the

saints and all the creation and just giving praise to God and that's what

this song is an invitation for wow that's so good man walk us through what

you're playing your Cape owed to - we do this in a I think you wrote it

neighs well I record and b-flat on the record but real simple it's just kind of

driving I love that I love the verse of this song because I have so much energy

than in them so much cadence in them and especially for a worship leader man I

it's just it's just easily but yeah it's just just the G chord or the one chord

from here to the sky deep

see

to give you guys what you

Emani

just matter

frig

that's as simple as the song is yeah yeah and we had that little thing at the

end you hear in the recording of all the earth holy bro that's just uh you know

if you want to leave that you just just hopefully the G chord and that's

sustained and just leave the people in singing that whole kind of a chant

together I'll let it build and build and build yeah well guys thanks so much for

sharing the song with us man what a great message

Flip Top Tool Stand || Dewalt Planer / Ridgid Sander - Duration: 8:03.

hey there today I'm going to show you how to build this flip top tool stand it

has this super solid user-friendly locking system that's easy to make and

I'll show you how

you'll need a full sheet of 3/4 inch plywood for this build

I had a mine cut down to manageable pieces in the store then finished making

the cuts in the shop if you want to build a flip-top stand for yourself

you'll find all the measurements and a cut list on my website I'll leave a link

down below there are a lot of flip-top cards out there but I was inspired to

build this particular design by Brad at fix this build that now he's got plans

available so I'll also leave a link to those plans down below alright so after

pre-drilling some pocket holes the first step was to attach the base to the side

panels using some pocket screws to install the top panel I cut some five

inch spacers out of scraps so I could prop up the panel while I screwed it in

from underneath with some more pocket screws I installed the back panel and

tapped it into place using a mallet and this piece will actually add stability

and prevent side-to-side Rocking just in case you were thinking of skipping this

part at this point I tipped the cabinet on its side and started prepping for the

hardware after making a centerline I used a 5/16 bit to drill a hole on

each side of the panel one and a half inches in from the edge I then used a

3/4 inch Forstner bit for the center hole that'll hold the pipe next I

extended the sides of the hole to the edges of the plywood and use my jigsaw

to cut away a notch using your speed square as a guide

really helps here I repeated the same thing on the other side and on the

second panel as well ok next I moved on to making the drawer I really wanted a

simple utilitarian a simple box no slides and not even a dryer face I used

my table saw to make a notch on all four sides about a quarter inch deep I then

adjusted my fence slightly and repeated so that the groove would accept a

quarter inch thick panel

I'm attaching the box from the inside using pocket screws but I only did three

sides before sliding in the bottom panel I then popped in the fourth side into

place and added some screws to hold it all together I mean a simple draw pool

using a scrap piece of walnut because who doesn't love walnut I use my router

table to carve a concave notch on the backside and then simply screwed it into

the drawer from the back

okay now is a good time to attach the casters I use three inch heavy-duty

locking caster wheels for this time to move on to the tabletop off-camera I

found the center of the panel and made a line 3/8 of an inch on each side

I then butted a piece of one by two up to the lines in order to create a nook

for the pipe to sit dead center with my brad nailer I tack the pieces into place

then drilled some countersunk holes and added some screws making sure to check

that the pipe fits snugly as I went oh and don't pay attention to the notch and

the front board you see there that was a mistake and shouldn't be there

I do however need to create a notch in the outside pieces so I made a simple

jig that will ride along my table saws fence I need to make a 5/16 notch in the

center that's one and a half inches deep after setting the blade height I made

several passes moving the fence slightly as I went until I was able to fit in an

eyebolt

I then made the same notch on the other end of the board and repeat it on a

second piece as well I line up the pieces on the outer edges and as before

tack them into place then screw them down I cut up some more pieces to

complete the edges making sure to line them up flush before screwing them down

I need to add blocking underneath the tools I'll be mounting so I'll have

something to screw it into you want to make sure to line up the blocks under

the smaller holes if you're using screws the bigger holes are for using bolts

next I repeated the same process for the second tool man this one's heavy

I made sure to line up the smaller screw holes not the bolt holes and also make

sure that no parts were sticking out past the edge of the platform lastly I

seal the platform with another piece of plywood securing it with screws all

around okay so here's the hard way you'll need for the locking mechanism

you'll need startups with 5/16 threads 5/16 eyebolts three and a half inches

long and 5/16 washers you'll also need 3/8 washers 3/8 bolts that are a half

one and a half inches long and some 3/8 nuts now if you didn't catch all that

not to worry there are links for all of these in the description down below to

install the hardware I started by marking one inch in from each side I use

a Forstner bit to drill a countersunk hole from the top and the bottom of the

platform about half an inch deep I then used a 3/8 bit to drill all the way

through you start by inserting the eye bolt then place a 3/8 washer and a 3/8

bolt into the hole

another washer goes on the bottom followed by a 3/8 nut it's a good idea

to use some thread lock so the bolts won't loosen over time I then repeated

the same process on all four corners ok so getting the platform onto the pipe is

not the easiest if you're doing this by yourself I won't lie I had to do a few

takes before I was able to line up the pipe with the hole in platform and

thread it through you'll want to leave about half an inch of pipe sticking out

on each side so I mark the pipe and use the hacksaw to cut the pipe to length to

lock the pipe into place I used a three quarter inch Forstner bit

to make a half inch recess into a couple blocks and then mounted them onto

each side after locking the table in position I mounted my bench top sander

and anchored it to the platform using some three and a half inch screws

I then flip the tabletop over and did the same for my planer

to help manage the cords I use the scrap piece of leather with a pressure

snap now this will be a quick and easy way to keep the cord secured and out of

the way I'll be honest the first time I flipped the top I was a little nervous I

mean the planer alone weighs about 90 pounds when I was relieved that

everything held firmly and how smooth the flip actually was hey if you like

this video please give it a thumbs up and if you're not already subscribed to

this channel I'd love to have you remember to head over to my website for

all the details on this build and until next time thanks for watching

John is carried into the operating theatre by two medical orderlies.

John is being operated on by a surgeon.

There is a nurse and an anesthetist in the operating theatre.

The doctor was trained to carry out surgical interventions in Italy.

Some hospitals have been harmed by government cutbacks.

1/ for actions that take place prior to another action in the past before a simple past:

I had taken the dog out before I had breakfast. After I had taken the dog out, I had breakfast.

2/ to express facts

3/ to focus on duration (just like the past perfect continuous).

Signal words used with the past perfect : already, till then, until that day, never, not yet, once.

The past perfect continuous:

The past perfect continuous is also called past perfect progressive.

We use this tense :

1/ to express a cause. They had been working too hard and suffered from exhaustion.

Since he had been working on the project, we hadn't seen him as much.

2/ to stress the duration of the action. It had been running for several decades before they closed down.

He had been playing sports all afternoon.

3/ to specify that the action lasted a certain time.

How long had he been learning English? I had been sleeping the whole afternoon.

So here we have various signal words that work well with this tense : all, the whole, for, since, how long?

Short and sweet but to the point, good night!
