An American documentary filmmaker Mike DeGruy grew up along the Gulf of Mexico, but little did he know he would make one of the most exciting discoveries of his life in that very gulf. When filming Blue Planet beneath the Gulf of Mexico, he found an underwater lake. In his own words, "Wait a minute! I'm already underwater!
How can there be a lake? But it was." A pool of thick, ultra-salty brine had accumulated in one area, giving the appearance of a lake beneath the waters.
Thank you for watching!

What can we learn from history to avoid repeating past errors?
Because we make the same mistakes over and over again, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle in mediocrity.
Because we continue to believe the same old stories, history repeats itself. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. We cannot change them.
This conditioning prevents us from thinking critically. From challenging authority. From challenging assumptions. We don't grow if we don’t question. If we don't grow we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
Because we make the same mistakes, history doesn't have to repeat itself. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
You can break the cycle of history repetition by changing how you look at the world and yourself, by understanding that nothing is set in stone. Nothing is permanent. All things are subject to constant change.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. To accept that things could go wrong. Accepting the possibility that we might not succeed. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept that you may never achieve your goals. Accept that you may not achieve your goals. However, it is important to keep working towards improving.
To hold on to the past is to be certain. You'll never move forward if you cling to the idea that there are fixed truths.
Freedom is only possible if you are willing to let go. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.

How To
How did propaganda become marketing history?
When Max Weber, German sociologus and German sociologist came up with the term propaganda from the Greek phrase "praopagos", the word means "to speak well", the term was first used. The Latin verb "propere" (meaning "nearby"/ "at hand) and the noun ("agogos"), meaning "speech/discourse," gave rise to the word. It's a "systematic attempt to influence attitudes and behavior."
George Orwell, British journalist wrote in "Propaganda," a 1928 book that he published. "To understand the true nature and purpose of propaganda, it is not the intention make people believe any thing; it is only to change their beliefs... It is designed to make them agree with one thing instead of the other."
Edward Bernays (1891 – 95), who was Sigmund's nephew, and psychoanalyst. He became famous when he created the term "public relations" (1922). He said that "the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in a democratic society." He established the public relations company "Bernays & Company" where he worked up to 1955.
Bernays invented an "engineering permission" technique, which allowed him to influence public opinion through publicity and advertising campaigns. His methods were adopted later by mass media companies like Newsweek, CBS News, NBC News and Time Magazine. Bernays began to work closely with corporations, government agencies, and individuals after World War II. Some of his clients included Johnson & Johnson, General Electric, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company, U.S. Department of Defense, American Tobacco Company, DuPont, Rayonier, and the United States Chamber of Commerce.
The tobacco industry was his most prominent client. In 1939, he helped Philip Morris develop a campaign against smoking, which resulted in the Surgeon General recommending that smoking should be banned indoors. In 1965, the Cigarette Advertising Act was adopted. This bans any cigarette advertisement in print media such as newspapers and television.
He also advised President Franklin D Roosevelt on how to deal with the growing labor movement during the Great Depression. Bernays suggested that the president declare a "war on hunger" and use the federal government's power to ensure adequate food supplies. This strategy helped the president win reelection in 1936 by making the government appear benevolent and fatherly.
Bernays promoted radio listening as a way to increase radio sales. In the 1930s, Bernays introduced the concepts of "branding", and "advertising". He believed that consumers can be influenced by appealing directly to their emotions and making them feel special. He promoted the slogan "Have it all!" In 1933, he encouraged women to purchase war bonds.
He created "Young People for Freedom" in 1944. This group was created to encourage Americans between the ages of 18 and 30 to vote Republican. Dwight Eisenhower won in 1952, thanks to Bernays’ efforts.
In 1953, Bernays persuaded the CIA to stage a coup in Iran, replacing Mohammad Mosaddegh with Shah Reza Pahlevi. This was done to stop Mosaddegh's nationalization of Iranian oil fields. Bernays wrote articles extolling the new regime in praise after the coup.
Bernays has received numerous other awards throughout his professional career.
