After the school shooting in Florida claim the lives of 17 people, local schools are taking a look at current threat protocol. Our Sarah Winkelman spoke with Brainerd High School officials about their efforts to keep students safe. After a school shooting, it's common for the school districts to pause, gather the information and reflect on their own buildings. We're really looking at our schools and protocols and what we can do and working with parents to talk through what our protocols are to keep kids safe.  I'm in the hallways every minute that I can and I'm in the building 98.9% of the time. So hopefully that in itself is considered a deterrent. But if there were to be a threatening situation, the school has a protocol in place known as ALICE which stands for Alert, Lockdown, Initiate, Counter or Evacuate. So anytime that we have a threat on the campus here, it's using plain language and anybody can get on the on a radio or on another phone and it's broadcasted out saying listen we have a threat in the building. Then based on training the staff and even students decide what action to take. We give them information not to alarm them or to raise their concern but so that they really know what the plan is. One of the things Brainerd schools are continuing to look at is how to best monitor who's coming through the doors. How can we do a better job of securing our entrances during the school day to keep students and staff protected and safe? Questions like these are exactly what the district hopes to have answered with their upcoming referendum. But until then they want to keep an open dialogue with the students. Well I think it's natural for students to ask questions and be aware of what's going on around them. They live in a very digital age so they get news quickly and so we encourage our teachers to talk with the students, answer questions and share concerns with us, administration so that we can address them. The safety team plans to meet next week to review and update procedures as needed. Reporting in Brainerd, Sarah Winkleman, Lakeland News. The ALA System for Threats has been in place for the past three years.


I received a career advice years ago at the beginning of my career that really changed things for me and it's really informed the foundation of my marketing knowledge ever since. Any advice was this, go where you're respected. And this is such simple and profound advice that could be applied to relationships as well, but certainly careers and certainly marketing and sales. So let me explain. Imagine you are in front of somebody that really respects you and trusts you and they're leaning in because they're eager for whatever you're going to tell them. Now imagine how much easier it is to sell something to them or to share a message and they probably are nodding. So, oh, yes, oh, that makes a lot of sense. Oh, the product looks really interesting. Oh, the service, that sounds really necessary.  They're just only going to watch you for three seconds before they move on. And so you have to get their attention and you have to be charming. And then you have to be persuasive when you're selling. You're not going where you're respected. You're going where you are doubted, where you have to prove yourself, where you have to be the most charming one in the room before they are willing to buy from you. See, this is what sets me apart from all, much of the marketing stuff you're going to see out there is I go where I'm respected. Meaning, well, those of you who are still watching, still watching at this point, I am imagining that I have your respect to some degree. But so you might say, well, George, that's all fine and good. But what if nobody knows who I am or not enough people respect me yet? This is where we need to create the conditions where you can go where you're respected every day in your content and your marketing. And how do we create those conditions? We create authentic content consistently and we learn to distribute that content. Let me explain. So creating authentic content means that you show up on a consistent basis, whether it's on video, which I think is the best, best for nurturing an audience, or you show up in writing, which is actually the best for reaching cool audiences. That's a separate conversation. But you show up consistently whatever format you don't mind showing up. And you are always exploring your values and your views and the things that you believe is helpful for those who are watching or reading. You're always exploring and that's what makes it authentic.   But you also show up saying, hey, and I am learning too, you know?  And I'm going to share with you what I believe to be true right now. And I'm going to keep updating you on what I learned. You see, that's authentic and authentic is also showing up with who you are. Even if you think that's weird, no such thing as weird online. Really, there are audiences for every weirdness online. So be whoever your weird self is. That's authentic. So if you show up with authentic content consistently, number one, and number two, you learn how to distribute that content. Meaning you learn how to run Instagram ads like I do all the time or Facebook ads, I do that as well or LinkedIn ads or whatever other ads you are. Don't mind running to distribute that content to more people than, of course, you're going to build a bigger audience over time. Otherwise, the other way to distribute content is through collaborations. So maybe you do an Instagram live with some other Instagrammer who has a similar sized audience as you. You have 300 followers and they have about 300 followers. We'll do Instagram live with each other so that you can each do two lives, one where they interview you and then one where you interview them. And you post these interviews and they post them too so that you grow your audience bit by bit by doing these kinds of collaborations. So essentially, if you show up authentically, consistently, and then learn to distribute that content, you end up creating the conditions where you have this audience that respects you. So that whenever you create content, you get more engagement. Whenever you sell your program and your services, it's much easier because they already like you, they already respect you, and then they're much more likely to buy as a result. I hope this is helpful. Just remember that marketing and selling and building your business doesn't have to be so hard and you're trying to convince people to do something that they don't trust you about yet. No, you create the conditions where there's already respect.  You don't have to persuade. You don't have to be charm people. You don't have to attract. You don't have to scare them into buying or whatever. You just whisper your authentic caring and honesty about what the service is and who it's for, and they'll buy. So I hope this is helpful. Thank you so much for joining me. And thank you for your time for watching this.


Live from the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas. It's theCUBE, covering Magento Imagine 2018. Brought to you by Magento. Hey, welcome to theCUBE. We are live in Las Vegas at the Wynn from Magento Imagine 2018. I'm Lisa Martin with my co-host John Furrier. And John, we have a really exciting day plan talking all things digital commerce innovation. What are you most excited about? Well, Magento is one of those companies that people know about, but it's the rocket ship in e-commerce, mainly because they've cracked the code on a few things, Lisa, that I'm really impressed with. One is they've modernized e-commerce. E-commerce has been around 25 plus years on the web with internet, but you think of it like the old Amazon, eBay, you know, database world, but now we're living in a cloud world, cloud native is big, and there's still money to be made in retail as everything goes online. The digital transformation is impacting retail more than ever. Smartphones is over 10 years old. So the question I've always asked is, where's the modern stack? So these guys have cracked the code on that. Two, and they're powering a lot of impressive sites and the growth is phenomenal, but they have an ecosystem partner network that you can see behind us. If you can look at the camera, you'll see hundreds of partners. So, I mean, e-commerce obviously isn't going away, but look at the growth of digital. Digital natives are coming online. People want to do things digitally, but also it's changing the offline consumer experience. So there's a gap traditionally between online, offline. That's coming together. This is only going to get more acute as cloud, mobile, decentralized, blockchain. There's still e-commerce in our future and it's just never going away. And these guys have a really interesting approach. So we're excited to find out more here on what they're doing, their success and how e-commerce is going to evolve. To me, that's the number one story is, you know, can people leverage turnkey, scalable, digital technologies to, you know, do business? So Magento has built their reputation on helping retailers to target online shoppers. You talked about online and offline, but they're now moving into the B2B space. As consumers, we expect, Amazon set the bar obviously very high, right? We expect to be able to get whatever we want as consumers were channel agnostic. We don't care. We just want to be able to find whatever we want when we want it, have it shipped to us, have it shipped to the store. And that is spilling over into the B2B space. And Magento's data suggests that 93% of B2B buyers want to be able to buy online, which not only changes the sales model, it changes the marketing model as well. I mean, they're taking the charge. That's their slogan here. And the thing that's interesting is that it used to be nice little buckets. B2C, business to consumer, B2B, business to business. But really it's a consumer to consumer role. And one of the things that you see right now, social media is consumers are directly involved in either the content development process or the engagement process. If you look at no further than the side effects of what we see with Facebook, the downside of this whole data conversation is that the users want to be in control and they are in control. So you're seeing almost a blurring of the lines between B2B, B2B and C2C, where people need to tailor the e-commerce experience and have the data insights, either real time and or intelligent wise to know that the consumer is participating offline, they're online, but also peer-to-peer. The consumer-to-consumer relationship is to me going to be the cutting edge forward innovation area that a lot of these companies are going to innovate on because a lot of referrals are going on organically now as it's not so much audience anymore because the audience is online digitally. It's about the network connection. So as people have a network connection with their friends and you're seeing Facebook proving this and LinkedIn and others, is that you're going to start to see that data be very important. So I see a future where e-commerce stacks have to support consumer-to-consumer in any context, business-to-business, B2C, business-to-consumer, consumer-to-consumer, this is a holy grail and whoever can scale that, again, at large scale while creating a money-making opportunity, value creation opportunity for ecosystems is the winning formula. One of the themes that popped up during the keynote this morning with a number of folks that were on stage including their CEO and the Pittsburgh Steelers was personalization. That's something that we expect as consumers and as well as business-buyered. We want to be able to have something where they know us but we don't want to be marketed to. So Magenta has done an interesting job and we're going to have a number of guests on the show today talking about how they're enabling this more personalized customized, you mentioned the word tailored experience as a consumer to be able to get what I want, when I want it but also through an now omnichannel. We're going to hear a lot about omnichannel today and how that's enabling new revenue streams, reduction in attrition. They talked about one of their newest features Magenta did with the instant purchase. We want to be able to click once, buy it and have it something that means something to us, be able to buy it again and again and again. I mean this is the challenge, right? In e-commerce, as table stakes are some of these features like instant click buying, having the kind of personalization but the real angle to me is bringing in the personalization so that the consumers involve. So what you see with the Steelers for instance, they do real-time shooting of the game and incorporate the fan experience into the e-commerce experience really seamlessly and in real-time. And so what you have is a change of a methodology and so e-commerce used to be a very one-directional monologue, you put content out there, people browse and consume. Now you have a real-time interactivity piece which changes the content production perspective and the Steelers pointed that out. In the tech world we used to call this agile programming when right software development. So you start to see the concept of agile come into e-commerce where whether it's an entrepreneur, Melissa Baking Goods or a business, they want to focus on the business at hand not provisioning technology. So you got to have a partner like a Magento or someone who can build all that tech turnkey so that people can focus on the business at hand and that's agile. So if they decide to incorporate something really fast you can't have this waterfall process and that's the problem with the content market and that is a legacy baggage of e-commerce where hey, we built it, we ship it, we got to go back and decide what to change and we got to push it to the code base. Your provisioning technology, that is an old way of doing things. That's not ideal for the modern era. You need to be very agile, very scrum-like to use that term and content people need that to be successful because the difference between real-time and having that right experience is a matter of seconds and or context specific. So agile content can't be waterfall. Exactly, agile content, that's data-driven. You mentioned data earlier, we're going to actually be talking with Anita Andrews who's going to be talking about what Magento can facilitate and deliver their users with respect to BI. The Steelers talked about that. They actually see when the Steelers aren't doing well, they see a reduction in merchandise, merch that's actually purchased on set. So they have the data to be able to make the decisions to deliver this personalized content in a way that they can see how can we adjust our sales structure to be able to capitalize on revenue opportunities. I mean, responding to data is really critical. So the Steelers example is great. When they lose, there's no sales because that runs kind of bummed out. When they win, they sell everything out. So in sports world, which is that big part of Magento's base, managing the assets of running the franchise, for instance, becomes a real big thing whether it's food or apparel or any kind of fan experience, they can adjust either dynamic pricing. These are the things that the content owners want. They want to be able to say, hey, we can understand sentiment from the data and then adjust the marketing mix and content mix based upon what's going on in real time. That's a game changer. And if you could do that on a form factor for web mobility and future formats, whether it's cryptocurrency, I mean, that is going to be to me the tell sign of who's innovating. And speaking of innovation, this is the eighth event that Magento, the eighth Imagine event, our first time here. But you mentioned their partner ecosystem. There's 1,150 solutions and technology partners. You can see quite a few of them behind us here. A lot of people are needing this type of technology to be able to better merge the online and offline worlds across consumers, across businesses. We have some great guests here that are going to talk to us about how they're doing that, enabling multi-retail, enabling multi-channel and really enabling this true globalization of commerce to a lot of businesses to go. We actually have a guy from Coca-Cola who's going to be on today, talking about the project that they are, where they're personalizing the Coke bottles. I mean, it's such an interesting topic of discussion because it's very personal and very relatable. And I think- I mean, marketing's always so, market to the persona of one. But now you have a brand relationship that's online and offline. And this is changing how companies are building their assets. An offline retail outlet, whether it's a mall or a superstore or whatever, that can be configured in a way that's complementary to the online and then having the merging of the data and then having that relationship with the consumer. To me, Omni-channel is a huge retail challenge. It's super important because at the end of the day, do you want to have that insight into the customer but also have the great experience? That's key. Exactly. So we're going to be talking with the Accent Group who's an award nominee for their awards here. And they're going to be talking about how they are merging multiple brands, hundreds of thousands of SKUs to be able to facilitate and also give them the insight that retailers need on inventory, giving them fulfillment options. There's so much positive business outcomes that can be generated from this. So we talked about reducing attrition, getting as fast as checkouts, right? We want to have something that's very simple, very seamless. And as you pointed out, it's really interesting to understand what is the modern technology stack that can facilitate that? Yeah, a great user experience. Retail intelligence is something I think that's going to be something that's fascinating. And again, it's all about scale and the technology stack and taking that complexity away from the customer because at the end of the day, the digital storefront is what people are going to be interfacing with on a primary basis. That's also very complementary to the offline. So it's super excited. I'm totally pumped to get into it. Me too. We're looking forward to hosting with you all day, John. All right. Again, we are live in Las Vegas at the win at Magento Imagine 2018. I'm Lisa Martin with John Furrier. We're going to be here all day. Stick around. We're going to be right back with our next guest.


And lastly, we're going to talk about the urine flow, the anatomy of that. We said that once you've created that elimination product, it's going to have to be removed. And that's what urine is. Once the philotrate flows into the minor calyx, that is where urine is first formed. And once it enters into the structure, it is eliminated, meaning that you are getting rid of it. There's no way to be able to go back and get it out. So imagine if you will back to our closet idea where I've created this pile of stuff that I don't want anymore and I'm going to eliminate it.   So if you start thinking, oh, I forgot about this one shirt in there I wanted, you know, at that point it's too late. So that's kind of what happens with the minor calyx. Once the fluid goes into the minor calyx, it's now called urine and you can no longer reabsorb any material from it. The minor calyx will empty into the major calyx and you can see that this is a cup-like structure that is going to combine more than one minor calyces. The major calyx will empty into the renal pelvis, which is this large area. You can see it unites all of the major calyces together. From the renal pelvis, the urine will empty into your ureter. The ureter is a tube that drains away from the hillum of your kidney. You've got a right ureter and a left. Both of those ureters will unite and drain into the urinary bladder. The urinary bladder is expandable, so it has rugae just like the stomach and it can expand based on the volume that it contains. Once the mixturition reflex has been initiated, the bladder will void and the urine will exit through the urethra. I hope that that addressed everybody's concerns with the urinary system. You can see with our final flow chart how all of the pieces come together and how blood flow is related to activities in the nephron and how the final elimination product that urine will exit the body.

And so must be protected for the benefit of all. Expose, arrest and prosecute all those who engage in buying pilfered infrastructure items along with those bringing such item to him. And to sensitise the larger citizenry to support the widespread campaign on the protection and ownership of public infrastructure assets, especially in the railway, roads and aviation sectors. We have started a recovery of all of these sites and slowly but surely we want to evict all trucks, all vehicles from under the bridges. That is our decision that is the right thing to do. All of this is unlawful. So we are going to make the support, the understanding and the collaboration of all world meaning and right thinking Nigerians to recover all of these things from those who put them to unlawful and improper use. In Jaws, where I said the Chinese company that bought those trucks from them went to cut funding media. What is the consequence? $200,000. That's the law. So I want to stress this to show you that I can go take some extra minutes to show you that this is just not enough to stop. It is that there must be consequences and 200,000 other consequences is not enough. I think now the national security architecture understood and the underscored importance of national security assets and our infrastructure assets. So they should step up and members of the National Assembly should quickly enact those laws to ensure that people are punished maximally. I think that is the right thing to do.


We can nod our head for yes We can shake our head for no we can bend our knees a little bit and sit down very slow Rhyming is very very important because that's a skill or you're listening to the end of words And you're wanting to know if they sound the same and what I'm going to do right now is I'm going to clap Just on the rhyming words. Okay, so can you do that?  Did you hear that hop? Stop. They rhymed. All right, let's do a little practice. Let's do copycat Some of these words are rhyming words. Some of them are not.  Did you hear that? They end the same Make shoe That doesn't rhyme does it? Sun fun Yes, very nice


In this series, I address your questions about self-harm. It's a tricky topic, but I want us to talk more about it. If I haven't answered your question yet, leave it in a comment below and I will attempt to address it in a future video. Mrs. H31 asked an interesting question via Instagram. She wanted to know how can we both look after the needs of a young person who's self-harming, but also all the other young people as well. And this is really important because sometimes we get so lost in thinking about how do we manage the needs of the person who is engaging in self-harm that we forget that actually we've got a duty of care to the whole class, the whole year, to the whole school. Now, actually though, the most important thing we need to do is make sure that our staff are trained up and they can recognize the warning signs of self-harm that they're able to listen non-judgmentally if a young person chooses to open up to them and they know what are the correct policies and procedures to follow if a young person is self-harming or they suspect that they might be. We also need to let our young people know, look, we know that self-harm is a common issue amongst young people. If this is something that's affecting you or you're worried about a friend, you can talk to us. We will listen non-judgmentally and we will help to provide the support that's needed. It's really important that you're able to have that open and honest communication with your children, with your staff and with parents. Students need to know who to talk to, staff need to know who to refer on to. This needs to be something that we're not scared of talking about. That's the most important thing. Open, honest lines of communication.


Ryan, you've had a lot of game-winning drives in a relatively short amount of time since you've been here. What mentally goes into something like that require a little bit more patience, a little bit more staying calm than another drive during the game? Yeah, those are something we prepare for. I think that's where it starts is in your preparation. We get a lot of reps at those during training camp during the week, and we talk about it a lot. So something we know is very important. I think it's crucial just to stay level in those situations. Obviously, it's an intense big moment of the game, right? It's make or break. So everyone feels that pressure, but I think it's important for me to remain steady and kind of transition or exude that confidence over to the guys that we're going to go out and make this happen. Last week, we started off with a minus 10 on the holding play to start the drive. And there was no panic. Our guys stayed confident, total confidence that we were going to make a play and get it going, and we did exactly that. Have a game-winning drive where you never had to throw a pass before that you can recall? I guess the overtime, if what I'm thinking of. No, I mean, got the ball in great field position there. So we were already right there on the fringe of field goal range. We knew if we picked up a few yards, then it was going to make that field goal easier. And obviously, you know, O-Line and Derek did a good job there of creating some space and getting us in for a close field goal. You know, you had a lot more success, I guess, on Sunday. You think that's kind of a culmination? Maybe were you building to that? Maybe with some of the work you had to practice? Yeah, no doubt. I mean, I've said that from day one, is the more time we get together, the more that relationship's going to grow. Obviously, you see them go up and make a play early on like you did in the first drive of that game. Going up on a third down in tight coverage, put a ball where I really trusted him to go get it. And he went and got it for a huge first down. So you see him make that play and it builds the confidence quickly. Best after something bad happens, the Arizona game, and then the bad first half.  You have any idea why that is? And do you think it's a dangerous characteristic at all? Yeah, I don't know why that is. I think offensively, we just didn't finish drives. You know, we were moving the ball down to the red zone and were really close to a couple of opportunities for touchdowns down there. So it wasn't our best ball, but I wasn't saying it was extremely bad or anything. We just needed to finish. So we had that confidence that we were moving the ball. We just got to execute and finish drives. So no panic. We just believed in each other and knew that we would get it going and get in the end zone. For all, do you need to be, I don't know, more ready when people believe more ready when bad things haven't happened? I don't think it was a matter of readiness. I think we were ready. We came out ready. We moved the ball straight on the field, had big third down conversions, and executed well up until when we got down inside the red zone. So I don't think it was a matter of readiness at all. I think we just have to sustain that execution down into the red zone. Excuse me. I just said that focus can't only be a response to adversity. Can it be a challenge when you're piling up with many things are going well to stay focused and keep that sense of urgency? I can if you let it, but that's not our mentality around here. That's not our mindset. Success doesn't just happen, especially in this league. It's tough to go out and win every weekend. If you let your attention and focus slip, then it's going to show. So our mindset, no matter what's going on, is to come to work, ready to go, work to get better each and every day, prepare to win football games, whether you're coming off a loss or win. Did you develop a trust level with Chester Rogers since he's taken over in the slot? Can you talk about how that's developed over the course of camp up until now? Yeah. Chester's done a really good job for us. He's the guy who came in last year's song making plays against the defense. And then during training camp, he just continued to improve the entire time, made some big plays for us during training camp and built that trust. And again, showed up on Sunday, tight windows on third down, making tough catches, taking hits, and converting big first downs for us. So really confident throwing the ball to Chester. You've obviously been around Derrick for a while at this point, but are you ever still maybe just in awe at what he's able to do on a regular basis? After a performance like that in Seattle, do you ever find yourself just kind of being amazed? I don't think there's any amazement. I think he's proven what he could do, and he goes out and does it. I think that it's awesome to see what he can do, but I don't think there's any amazement. I think that, like I said, he's shown what he can do. He's tough. He's physical. He is durable. And he makes big plays. So excited to see him. When you see him kind of round the corner and one-on-one with a DB, that's when the blood starts pumping to get excited, knowing that he can make that guy miss, stiff arm, outrun him, whatever it may be, find a way to get around him and go for the long run. So when that happened in the game, I turned around, handed it off, set up, and saw him kind of round in the corner gaining speed with one defender coming in and knew it could be a big one. What does it say about his consistency and his history when he's doing these things that only Jim Brown and Barry Sanders have done? And it's not amazing, just because he did it last week. I think his durability. You look at how many carries he's had, how many touches he's had over the past couple of years, and he comes into the building and seems like he's on face. He's not ever walking around slow or sore. I just think he's built different. And that enables him, obviously, with his mindset and his work ethic and everything that goes into that. But it enables him to continue to make plays on a week-in-week-out basis. What's the work that he does going to practice, catching the ball with Coach Dews, and then just Sunday career high and catches? What was to that? And how much can that be something that you can kind of spin forward and get him more involved in the past? Yeah, he made some big plays for us. There was a couple screens in there, which were awesome to hit. But the other ones weren't really designed. We were trying to push the ball down field. They were doing a good job of sinking underneath our concepts downfield, try to take what the Demons gave me, which was the check downs.  So if they're going to sink out of there and give us 10-plus yards of space underneath, then we have to be able to get the balls to the backs and let them make plays. You're taking more hits, probably, in the first two games than you wanted to. Are there things that going forward that you can do in terms of checks and automals, maybe to try and keep yourself out of harm's way a little more? Kind of depends on the play. I think there's a lot of things to go into that. But yeah, we want to try to limit those hits as much as we can.  Is that basically just your mindset when you're back there to just ignore the rush? And you know, hey, I'm probably going to get hit, but I got to live in football. Is that just part of the gift being a quarterback in this league? Yeah, I think so. Obviously, you kind of want to feel it, right? You just don't want to blindly stand there and just continue to wait. But there's a lot of situations where you can see your receiver or the concept opening up. And you know you just need to stand in there for a half second. You feel it coming in and know you're about to get hit. But you see what's about to happen downfield. So you can stand in there and let it rip.  So a little bit of both, right? So it's sometimes you're going to stand in there. And sometimes you want to be able to move off the spot. Brian, you're going to get the Colts early on twice here in this season, this first run up. And what do you see out of the defense from this team? I have a ton of respect for this team and this defense. You know, it's a sound defense. And we have a ton of respect for the way they play us. They play us a lot like we like to play. Physical, finish. They're going after the ball. They have playmakers. Their sound, you know, they're not giving up anything easy. You have to go out there and earn everything. So, you know, it's a big mindset week for us of go out and execute. And, you know, we have to play our style of football, which is exactly what they're trying to do. So it's going to be a battle of who can do it better. To kind of sustain the momentum and kind of not give one back. You want to win every week, but you've got a chance to kind of take a pretty good lead on a division foe, make this one even bring even more height and awareness to this one.  So, and every time we play these guys, we know it's going to be a tough, tough game and they're going to come to play. So, yeah, a big week for us to go out, accept the challenge and play well. Ryan's not worked much with Julio necessarily. Did you find yourself during the game trusting his ability to make a play, just throwing it up there and seeing what he could do? Yeah, no doubt.   He jumped, I don't know how high he jumped, probably nine feet high and then, you know, made a play on the ball. So you see him make that play as a pure trust throw, trust play and that confidence goes up. And the one that got overturned in the red zone, again, you know, pockets closing in, about to get hit, have to get it out earlier than anticipated than what we'd repped and put it up in a place where only he could get it. He goes up and gets it and, you know, whether there was a blade of grass or not, that's still up in the air. But good to see him go make those plays, no doubt. You've been around a lot of good receivers, but how rare is his ability to do that? Well, it's special. Obviously, he's shown it for 10 plus years now, his ability to make those big time plays. You know, he has a great feel for the game. He's played a lot of football, so he understands what we're trying to do. Then he has the physical ability to go do it. You've improved as a pass catcher and as a pass blocker in your time here. Nice, he's working at it constantly. You know, you see him out here with Tony. He is a big force in the blocking. You know, there was some safety pressures in this last game. We knew Jamal Adams was gonna come and Derek did a good job of stepping up and taking care of him that way I could deliver the ball. And he had some huge plays in the pass game because Derek put a good block on the safety underneath. So definitely a guy I have a lot of trust in in the pass protection game. And then obviously we saw we could do once he'd get the ball in his hands on check downs or screens or whatever it may be. A route vertical shot to him anywhere, you know? I'm not gonna give up our game plan, but you know, it's good to see him make those plays and the more plays he makes, the more confidence you get, no doubt. In your history, you've been more likely to get hurt in the pocket or on the ball? I don't know, I try not to get hurt too much. Born in Texas, I mean, were you a older, did you have any early memories? The older's, I guess it's the older's tribute week. Did you have any early memories of the older's from your days growing up? Yeah, I can remember, remember Oilers games.  My dad was a Warren Moon fan, so remember that.  So those are pretty early on in my life, but definitely good memories.


You will find that in many, many seats, we have young, dynamic people who are fighting the election. And in a sense, this is a silent revolution in the Congress Party. We have also kept a measure of experienced people and maintained a balance. There are a few things I want to talk to you about. The first is the situation in the country and in the state of Kerala. The primary responsibility of any country, of any government is to give jobs to its youngsters. Kerala has lakhs and lakhs of youngsters. I want you to ask yourself, do you feel comfortable in getting a job in the future? And this is not just the situation in Kerala. This is the situation across the country. If you are a young person in Kerala, a job is not a reality, a job is only a dream. In Kerala, a job is not a dream. We are going to go to a place where there is only a dream. A few days back, I saw youngsters protesting in front of the assembly. A few days back, I saw youngsters protesting in front of the assembly. I was shocked to find, that perfectly eligible people, youngsters, capable youngsters have been bypassed only to protect a particular organization. The primary responsibility of a government is to give jobs to youngsters. It is not to give jobs to their own audiences. People have to believe that they are fighting for the same thing. You cannot have a divided, angry society and then expect progress or joys.  It does not happen like that. The Congress party belongs to every single person in Kerala. If you want to start the economy, you have to put money into people's hands. It is only when you give money to people that they can buy things. Today the system in Kerala and at the national level is designed against people. Our intention will be to put money into people's hands to start the economy. What does it mean? It means that we will carry out a Nyaayi program that will give money to people. It means that we will not take money from you every time you go to the petrol pump or go to field diesel. This is an idea that we have tested again and again. We did Nalega, we put money directly into rural India and we got the economy growing. We did right to food, we got the economy growing. We are going to put money into people's hands so the economy can start growing. If you suddenly say we are canceling the deal, he comes to your house, he can go and do anything. This is the end of the L.D.F. government. There is an endemic corruption going on. But no action is being taken. I think as an MP coming to Kerala, I feel disappointment that the strength of Kerala, the dynamism of Kerala, the dynamism of which themselves will be wasted like this. I think as an MP coming to Kerala, I feel disappointment that the strength of Kerala, the dynamism of which themselves will be wasted like this. There is no reason that Kerala should have among the highest unemployment in the country. There is no reason that Kerala should have this level of unemployment. And I am confident that the youngsters and the experienced people that will come when the U.D.F.R.O.S. government withdraws going this year. I am confident that Kerala should have among the highest unemployment in the country.


MDMA, psilocybin, weed, all past the FDA hurdles for safety. But you know what wouldn't pass the FDA hurdles for safety? I was thinking about it. Alcohol. For safety? Like, if they tested out, like whiskey in a lab, 100 men, 100 women, scientists fencing it, mark down the results, they go to the boss the next day and be like, all right, sir, we did the whiskey test. First one or two drinks, people seemed warm and happy. And then around the third drink, a lot of the men became belligerent. And the women were upset, but they said they didn't want to talk about it. And then a lot of people vomited and passed out. And everyone who drove home crashed their car. They'd be like, that sounds awful. They'd be like, I know, here's the crazy part. They all want to come back and get on Saturday. And they're wondering if we can hire a DJ. And two Israeli guys want to promote it?


Hello everyone, I am Mrs. Meenakshi Shrigandhi from Vultured Institute of Technology Shalapur. Welcome to the video lecture on Deletion of a node from a circular linked list. Learning outcome. At the end of this session, students will be able to explain the operation of deletion of a node from a circular linked list. Definition of linked list. A linked list is a linear data structure in which the elements are not stored at contiguous memory locations. It is a data structure consisting of a collection of nodes which together represents a sequence and are linked using pointer. It is an example which shows nodes at different memory locations which are linked by using pointers. So, it represents a linked list. Definition of a node in a linked list. A node is an element in a linked list. It consists of two parts. The first part is called as a data part which contains the information and the second part is called as the address part which is a pointer to the next node and hence also known as next part. Here it shows the node representation which consists of two parts. The first part is the data part which holds the information whereas the second part is the address of the next node. Let us see the types of linked list. There are three types of linked list that is a single linked list. Here it shows a single linked list which consists of a single link to the next node. A circular linked list in which an null is replaced by a link to the first node. A double linked list which consists of two links one link going to the next node and the other link going to the previous node. Let us see the operations on linked list. There are different operations that can be performed on a linked list. Those are to determine if the list is empty, insertion of an element in the list, deletion of an element from the list, search for a particular element in the list and display the elements in the list. In this video we are going to focus on deletion of an element from the list in a circular linked list. Let us see the deletion of a node from a circular linked list. Deletion of a node means removing the element of interest from the linked list. For that this process involves two steps. The first is to find the element to be deleted and second is deletion of the node with pointer adjustment. Here deletion of the node is done by using pointer adjustment. This type of deletion is called as logical deletion. There are three ways for deletion of a node from the linked list. That is the first node of the linked list, the last node of the linked list and at any given position in the linked list. Let us see the first way of deletion, that is deletion of first node from the linked list. For this there is no work to find the location, only we need to check if the list is empty or not. If the list is empty then we need to display the message as no need to delete from the linked list. Here it shows an example where a linked list pointer LL represents the pointer to the linked list. Initially it is empty. Now when LL pointer is pointing to empty it in that case we need to print the message as no need to delete from the linked list. But if the linked list is not empty then simply we need to make the external pointer list equal to the next field of the first node in the list. This can be illustrated by an example. Here is the circular linked list and we want to delete the first node from the linked list. For this first we are assigning a temporary pointer P. Now if you want to delete the first node from the circular linked list only we need to assign list to the next of list. That means that list pointer should be moved from the first node and it should be assigned to the second node. After that has been done we need to traverse till the last node of the linked list and the next part of the last node should now assign to list. If this is done then the first node of the linked list gets deleted from the circular linked list. So after deletion the deleted node is pointed by the pointer P and this is the linked list after deletion of the node with value 40. Trying to think and answer what is the algorithm for deletion of first node from a circular linked list. Pause the video for some time and note down the answer in your book. Algorithm for deletion of first node from the circular linked list. Input from the user the node to be deleted say X. Check if the list is empty or not. If empty then no node to be deleted should be printed. If not empty then we need to set the P pointer to the first node that is node to be deleted and we need to make the external pointer list equal to the next field of the first node and after that update the next part of the last node to the pointer list. Let's see the second way that is deletion of a last node from the circular linked list. In this we need to traverse till last node with two pointers to keep track of trail node and the current node. After that we need to assign the next of trail node to next of current node that is node to be deleted. This can be illustrated by an example. This is a circular linked list and here our task is to delete the last node from the circular linked list that is the node with value 110 is to be deleted. For that we need to traverse till the last node with two pointers trail is pointing to the previous node and current is a pointer pointing to the node to be deleted. After that is done only we need to assign trail of next to current of next. So the node where current is pointing with value 110 gets deleted. So after deletion the deleted node is pointed by current. This is the updated linked list after deletion of a node with 110. Try to think and answer what is the algorithm for deletion of last node from the circular linked list. Pause the video for some time and note down the answer in your book. Algorithm for deletion of last node from the circular linked list. Input from the user the node to be deleted say x initialize the pointers current and trail travels the linked list till current reaches the last node with value x of the linked list. Assign next of trail to next of current to delete the node pointed by the current. Let's see a case where we have a single node in the circular linked list and we want to delete it. So for that check if the linked list contains a single node. If it contains a single node then assign the list pointer to null. This can be illustrated by an example. Consider a circular linked list where it contains a single node and here our task is to delete the node. If we delete the node we know that after deletion the list pointer will now point to null. So the current now will point to the node to be deleted and list will now point to null. So when the circular linked list consists of a single node then to delete that node only we need to assign the list pointer to null. This automatically deletes the node. Try to think and answer what is the algorithm for deletion of a single node from a circular linked list. Pause the video for some time and note down the answer in your book. So for deletion of a single node from the circular linked list, input from the user the node to be deleted called say X check if the linked list contains single node or not. If yes assign the null to the list pointer. Let's see deletion of a node which is placed in the middle of the circular linked list. For that first we need to find the node containing value X. For that we need to have two pointers to keep track of the current node and the previous node. And after that we need to traverse the list till we reach the node to be deleted. Here is an example which shows a circular linked list and our task is to delete a node with value 80. For that we are assigning two pointers called as trail which is initially assigned to null and current which is pointing to the first node. Now here the value of X is compared with the node where current is pointing. As you can see that the node value is not equal to X then trail is now moved to the current place and current is moved to the next node. Now this comparison is carried out till trail is pointing to 70 and current will point to 80. After that we can see that the comparison with value X and the node where current is pointing is equal. Now when this is reached then we can say that the node to be deleted is found. In the next step we want to delete this node so we need to modify the pointers to delete the node. For that the pointers have to be adjusted for deletion of the node from the existing linked list. From the previous example we have seen that we want to delete the node with value 80 where current is pointing. To delete the node with value 80 where current is pointing only we need to adjust trail of next to current of next. Once it is done then the node with value 80 where current is pointing gets deleted. So after deletion you can see that the node to be deleted is pointed by current and this is the updated circular linked list after deletion of the node with value 80. Now in some of the cases the node to be deleted is not present in the circular linked list. To understand about that we will be considering an example. First current of the next is equal to list after traversing the linked list and x is not equal to the data of the node where current is pointing. This can be illustrated by an example. This is a circular linked list and we want to delete a node with value 110. As discussed in the previous example we need to have two pointers trail and current. Now every time the node with where current is pointing that node is compared with value x. Whenever the comparison is not equal trail and current both are moved to the next node. So at one point trail is pointing to 80 and current is pointing to the last node of the linked list. But you can see that here the comparison of x and current of data is not equal. So when current of data is not equal to the value of x then we can say that the node to be deleted is not found. Try to think and answer what is the algorithm for deletion of a node which is placed in the middle of the linked list. Pause the video for some time and note down the answer in your book. Algorithm for deletion of a node which is placed in the middle of the circular linked list. Input from the user the node to be deleted say x. Initialize the pointers current and trail. Traverse the linked list till current of data is not equal to x and current of next not equal to list. If step 3 is true advanced trail and current if x is equal to data where current is pointing then we need to delete the node where current is pointing by assigning the next part of trail to next part of the current. Else we can print that the node to be deleted is not found. These are my references. Thank you.


I think it all boiled down to ease of use. The ClickUp platform and the user interface is very clear to use and then it also was part of just our relationship building with the sales team. They understood what we needed and they developed demos and I guess user spaces like demo spaces that really showed us how we could really use the tool internally and they really focused it on us as opposed to just here's a broad tool they really focused it on here's how this tool can help you and then also like the dashboards and everything as a marketer things need to be pretty and ClickUp is pretty

The Cavalcade of America, starring William Holden and Brenda Marshall, sponsored by the DuPont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. In tonight's DuPont play, The Firefly Lamp, we present two outstanding Hollywood stars, William Holden and Brenda Marshall. Miss Marshall will appear as Othelia Butler, and here to open our DuPont play is William Holden as Wilma Holm. I'd like to tell you what happens when a down-to-earth construction engineer, that's me, gets himself tied up with a swamp, a ghost and a pretty girl. The swamp? Well, that's the great Dismalant. The ghost? Well, it's supposed to haunt the great Dismalant. And as for the girl, well, that would be Othelia Butler, never prettier than that afternoon in April 1853, when I sat with her on the porch of her Richmond home. But all from the Indian Hunters' camp, this lover and maid so true, are seen at the hour of midnight dance, to cross the lake by a firefly lamp, and paddle their white canoe. Oh, isn't it a beautiful poem, Will? Oh, it's all right for a poem. It's called The Lake of the Dismal Swamp. Thomas Moore wrote it. And just who is Thomas Moore? A very famous Irish poet. And Irishman? Writing that kind of melancholy, hocus-pocus? I don't believe it.  I'm an engineer. The world for me, Miss Butler, is measured in three dimensions. And I don't go chasing after ghost-carrying firefly lamps like that fellow in the poem. When I've got to get from one place to another, I find me a road. And if there's no road to be found, I build me one. Ah, and someday, Wilma Hone, you'll find the world isn't always like that. But there's some things you can't fill roads over and bridges across. Strange things. More wonderful and mysterious than people dare think about. Don't believe it. Well, it's true. What do you know about the Great Dismal Swamp? It's right at our doorstep, yet no one dares to go near it. And those that do, what happens to them? How many times have you heard of people disappearing into it and never being seen again? A swamp is a swamp. Nothing but a piece of lowland badly in need of drainage. And what's so mysterious about the Great Dismal, anyway? About 100 years ago, George Washington had it surveyed from corner to corner. He even started a build a canal through it. Oh, well... Now listen to me, Miss Othelia. Do you intend for me to spend my visit discussing our mutual affection or this blasted Dismal Swamp? Mutual affection? You're taking very much for granted. I am not. You are, sir. I say I am not. And I say that you are. Yeah, yeah, what is all this? Hello, Father. Dr. Butler, how are you, sir? At the moment, Mr. Mahoney, a trifle annoyed. I was in my study, hoping to find a few moments of quiet for my mid-afternoon nap. May I ask you, sir, to court Othelia with a little less noise? I don't mind losing my daughter. But I do mind losing my sleep. Othelia, will you excuse us please? I want to talk with William. Of course, sir. I'll see you later, darling. But without that book of poems, remember? Oh, of course, darling. Anything you say. I wonder if she means it. My mature opinion is that she doesn't. Sit down, my boy. Thank you, sir. William, the time has arrived for me to act out the part of the serious parent. A role I find the trifle musty and very annoying. But it can't be helped. Now, you and Othelia have been engaged now for over 16 months. That's a long time. Yes, it is. All right. When the devil, you're going to get married. Oh, very soon. Very soon, sir. I hope, sir, you know the situation. My position now as the chief engineer of the Fredericksburg and Valley Plank Road is high in title and mighty low in salary. And besides, I see no future in building Plank roads. It isn't wooden roads this country needs, but iron rails. Not wagons and ox carts, but steam locomotives. That's the future for us. I'll agree to that. And I can't take the responsibility of family on until I can afford to maintain a family with some degree of comfort and security. A very unique point of view in these times, I must say. It won't be too long. You have some further prospects? That's one of the reasons I'm here in Richmond now, sir. It's two years since the General Assembly incorporated the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad Company. Nothing's been done so far. But I understand that construction is due to start fairly soon. So have heard. Chief engineer on the job will be a mighty fine thing. Twenty five hundred dollars a year. Oh, yes, sir. And there's a meeting of the board of directors at Dr. Mallory's house this afternoon. I've asked for an appointment. I'm going in for that job and I'm coming out with it. All right, Mr. Mahon, come in, please. Thank you. Sorry, I had to wait so long. Oh, that's all right, Dr. Mallory. Mr. Camp, Mr. Leonard, members of our board of directors. Rare pleasure to meet you, General. How do, sir? Now then, suppose we get down to business. Mr. Mahon, I understand you're familiar with the country between Norfolk and Petersburg. Yes, sir. Like a muskrat knows his creek. You have any ideas as to the best route our railroad should follow? Yes, I do. Well, let's hear them. Yes, sir. Well, may I use this map of Virginia you have here on the wall? By me. And borrow this ruler for a moment? You go right ahead. Now, between Norfolk and Petersburg, there's only one town the railroad has to hit. And that's Suffolk, right here. 20 miles southwest of Norfolk and 56 miles southeast of Petersburg. Actually, what we have is two sides of a triangle. Petersburg at one end, Suffolk at the angle, and Norfolk at the other end on the bay. Now, here's your route, as I build it. One end of the ruler on Petersburg and the other on Suffolk. That's it. You've gone a straight line between Petersburg and Suffolk. That's right, Mr. Camp, a straight line, still the shortest distance between two points. Yes, but what about the route from Suffolk to Norfolk? Here it is. Another straight line. Another one, that's right. But that's impossible, of course. Why, Mr. Camp, do you say it's impossible? Well, that route would take you right through the Great Dismal Swamp. That's right, sir. If you can't do that, you've got to swing around it. What do you figure your construction costs at, Dr. Mallory? Roughly $11,000 a mile. Swinging around the Great Dismal will add at least five miles to your route. $55,000. That's a lot of money. Yes, it is. I'll save it for you, every cent of it. It's impossible. There's no solid ground to work on. A railroad can't run on swamp mud. And where would you get the workers to go into the swamp? Fire, places interested with snakes and wild animals, and other things I'd rather not talk about. Ghosts? You can't laugh at something that people have been believing in for years, Mr. Mallory. Look, Mr. Camp, gentlemen, I'm not afraid of the Great Dismal Swamp or anything in it. I'll get together a crew of workers that'll be so tough they'll out scare any ghost within 50 miles of it. Not around the Great Dismal, but through it. Snack dab through its dirty, brown heart. That's the way I'd build. One moment, Mr. Mahon. Gentlemen, I'd like to speak to you. Yes, sir. Mr. Mahon, Mr. Camp, Mr. Leonard agree with me. We'd like you to accept the post of Chief Engineer for the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad. You mean, and I build the way I want to build? The way you want to build. Through the Great Dismal? As you said, Mr. Mahon, smack dab through its dirty, brown heart. Othelia. Othelia! I've got it, darling. I got the job. Oh, how when? Come out on the porch. I've got to tell you all about it, everything. She's got to sleep upstairs. Chief Engineer, $2,500 a year. It's all set. Oh, it's wonderful. How did you do it? With a ruler and a straight line. A line that runs smack through the Great Dismal swamp. Oh. We'll get married right away. I'm taking a surveying gang through the swamp next month. And you come along with me, too. It'll be a wonderful honeymoon. A honeymoon? In the Great Dismal? But why not? I don't know. It's just that I- Go on down there. Oh, Father, we've got the job. He's been made Chief Engineer of the Railroad. Good. Glad to hear it.  Fine. When? As soon as possible, with your permission, sir. Well, if you want my permission, the two of you best be moving off the porch. If I don't get some rest, I'll be walking down the aisle of the church in my sleep. Here it is, Attila, the Great Dismal. Oh, I'm still afraid of it, Will. Afraid of it? What's there to be afraid of? I don't know. The silence of it out here in the canoe. The way the shadows hang between the trees and the dead stillness of the water. Now, it's just a swamp. And it won't be so silent very long, and I'll prove it. My construction gang's coming west from Norfolk and east from Suffolk. We'll be cutting and sawing their way through in a couple of weeks now. And we'll wake it up. Listen. That sounds like Bill Sutley, my construction boss. Alara! He's around the bend in back of us, I think. I'll turn the canoe around. Oh, this way. Mr. Mahon. Oh, there he is. Sutley, here we are. Mr. Mahon. Something wrong? Mr. Mahon, the Yellow Fever in Norfolk. What? Bring up like a reed fire. Folks dying off faster than they'd be buried.  The survey and gags moved out. Locked stock and barrel. And they're camped outside Norfolk, no. Yellow Fever. Bill, you take Mrs. Mahon back to Suffolk. Yes, sir. You go on to Norfolk? Of course I'm going to Norfolk. Where do you think I'd be going? Timbuck, too? All right, now, men. Who's doing the talking for you? Ben Thomas? We're quitting, Mr. Mahon. We ain't going into Norfolk. You signed with me to do a job? That we did. But nothing we signed says we've got to go near Yellowjack. Now, wait a minute, boys. Wait a minute. Wait till it blows over a couple of days and we can get down to work again. Yellowjack doesn't dry up in a couple of days, Mr. Mahon. You know that for yourself. It'll be months. And we're not squatting around waiting for it to pay us a visit. No, sir. Not us. Let's go, man. All right. Get out, then. Run away.  And when you come back to Norfolk, it'll be by steam, on rails. And I hope you can afford to buy a ticket. You are listening to the Cavalcade of America starring William Holden as Will Mahon and Brenda Marshall as Othelia Butler, sponsored by the DuPont company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. We continue our DuPont play. A young Virginia engineer, William Mahon, has evolved a daring plan to build a railroad from Petersburg to Norfolk right through the heart of the great dismal swamp. In the late summer of 1855, an epidemic of yellow fever has suddenly swept down on the city of Norfolk, forcing Mahon to suspend construction. It's a few days later now, and he's meeting with the board of directors of the proposed Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad in their Richmond office. But just how bad is the plague in Norfolk, Mahon? It's very bad, Dr. Mallory. You can't even describe it. The streets are empty, and the only sound you hear is the wagon that goes around collecting the dead. Well, that's terrible. You'll never get a construction crew together that'll go near the town now. That you can be sure of. Sure enough, Mr. Camp. Gentlemen, I have a suggestion. Yes, sir? I propose that we end our line at Suffolk. Forget about going into Norfolk. End the line at Suffolk? Well, you can't be serious, sir. It's got to get into Norfolk. It's got to reach the sea. But you said yourself, sir, that Norfolk is a dead city. It may never come back. Oh, don't you ever believe that. Norfolk will come back. It's got a future. One look at the map, it'll tell you that. But, Mr. Mahon, we've got to take a practical view of our problem. Practical view by all means. All right, here's a practical view. Norfolk is one of the best harbors on the coast. It's the nearest and best point for the flow of trade between the ports of Europe and the Valley of Mississippi. Patrick Henry said that, and Jefferson agreed with him. Norfolk is Virginia's door to the world. You can't slam it shut. What other choice do we have? Keep building. If we can't get our construction gangs into the city now, then let's get started going through the swamp. That'll take months. And by the time we reach Norfolk, the fee will have run its course. It's a great gamble bringing a railroad into a dying city. It's worth the gamble. I agree. Start building through the swamp, Mahon. Start at once. Flag her down, Jim. She better not run out any further. Mr. Mahon, coming in on the construction train? He is. Does he know about it yet? Oh, not yet. He ain't going to like hearing it. I ain't going to like telling him. There he is, waving from the engine tender. He's got the Mrs. with him. Hi there, sir. Hello, Mr. Mahon. I brought the Mrs. with me. Give me a hand here. I'm proud we are to have you with us, Mrs. Mahon. What's your foot now getting down kind of muddy here about? There you are. Thank you, Mr. Southerly. Oh, please don't worry about me. I'll be getting back to Suffolk by nightfall. Mr. Mahon insisted that I come down and see how well you were going. Oh, he did, eh? Maybe it's how we better help you right back on that train. What are you talking about? We ain't going well. Huh? We not only ain't going well, we ain't going nowhere. What's wrong now? Well, it seems we hit ourselves a little mud patch. Not just your plain, housebroken kind of mud, but the oozy, slimyest mud ever put out by the imps of Satan. You know that field we had in the section we finished it's for you left? Yes, what about it? Nothing, except it ain't. Suck right down into the mud the whole blasted in banks. I don't believe you don't say. Well, you just walk right along there a couple of hundred yards and see for yourself. Mr. Mahon, you ain't never going to get a train to run on rails through this air swap, not unless you find some way to float on mud. Well, that's all. I've seen enough. Stay here, Tiller. No use trying to go further. Just let me sit down. Be careful, ma'am. Let me route around that dark tree stump first. Snake's got a funny way of picking up stumps to the skin. Yeah, I'll reckon this one's vacant. I hope so. Three weeks' work. Three solid weeks' work. And look at it. More water than fill. Call the halt for this section yesterday. Nothing else to do. Settling. Yes, sir. You're going back to the camp. Start packing up. Pay off the men. Oh, can't you try another way, William? There must be another way. I was given a job to do it, Tiller. A job that I said I could do. Cut through the great dismal. Well, it looks like I bit off more than I could chew. Go on back, Settling. Yes, sir. Might as sorry, ma'am. I'm sorry, too. Dad, don't tarry too long here about, Mr. Malone. I'd have come down like tall timber out here. That's fair. Leave me a snake and lose his way once daylight's gone. I'll be back as soon as Mrs. Mahoney's had a chance to catch a breath. Yes, sir. Well, there'd be many a laugh in Richmond when this gets out. All the wise ones were saying that I was too young for the job, too young and cocky. They said the swamp would get me. And they're right. Oh, it's not your fault, dear. Well, whose fault is it then? The job's a failure, isn't it? And what gets me? What's eating me to the bone is the fact it wasn't the wildness of the swamp that stopped us, the snakes, the bugs, even the ghost didn't stop us. It was the mud. The great Mahone stuck in the mud. Well, let's go back. All right.  It's awfully slippery here. Yes, it is. I'll find you a tree limb or something you can walk with. Oh, there. There's one in the water. Oh, be careful. I'll fish it out. Ah, here we are. Oh, that'll be fine. Wait a minute. Look at this atelier. Quite some kind of an instrument. Well, sure it is. An old-fashioned surveyor's staff. And really an old one, too. Hey, there's something carved on the compass. Can you make it out? Let's see. It's a date, 1763. 1763. Well, that must have been lost from George Washington's surveying party. That might have been belonged to Washington himself. It's funny, though. What's funny?  Ah, that's right. You'd think it would have rotted away, but the wood looks perfectly good. As good as new. Well, sure it is. When wood is entirely immersed, water acts as a preservative. Oh, it does? I didn't know that. Well, shall we go back? Shall we? William? Huh? What's the matter with you? What are you staring at? This staff, Atelier, it's given me an idea. About what? Water acts as a preservative. It preserves. What are you talking about? About a railroad and a swamp and following a firefly lamp. Come on, Atelier, let's get back. Sutley says we can't get trains to run on rails with a slop, not unless we float iron on mud. All right, that's just what we're going to do. Boat iron on mud. Let me ask you something, Bill. What's the only kind of roadway you can build through a swamp? The only kind that'll hold up. Plank road, corduroy, you know that. Right. And that's just what we do. We dig a right of way, 100 foot wide, clean across the swamp. We put down a corduroy, a plank road of cypress logs. And then on top of the logs, we build our embankment. Ditches along the side will carry water above the level of the planks, keeping them always in water, underwater. A road on top of a road. That's it. The wild idea. It is, but a good one. Now get your lumberjacks to work. We're going right through the Great Dismal Swamp this time, right through to Norfolk. Memorandum to the Board of Directors. Progress of the roadbed through the Great Dismal Swamp is proceeding on schedule. The rails are already laid in the section between Jericho Creek and the land company's canal. My dear Atelier, I wish I could give you a reporter what's going on here. It's a tremendous undertaking. Our men work way deep in water most of the time, but look out, spaced every few feet to fight off the poisonous snakes. So far, we have found no ghosts, but there isn't a man on the job who wouldn't prefer a dozen ghosts to one live wriggling coffee. I am greatly pleased to inform you and other members of the Board that our line is complete. We expect to run our first train into Norfolk on September the 1st. I have taken the liberty of asking my wife to come along. This will be a great occasion for Norfolk, for Virginia, for all the company. We're coming into Norfolk, dear. We've just passed the city line. And the city's alive. Look at it, Atelier, people cheering all along the way. And nobody believed it could be done. Iron rails, cutting through the Great Dismal Swamp. That's what you did, it will.  Proud of me? A man like me, crude, unpolished, with no love for such fine things as poetry? I'm surprised that you, Atelier Butler. Her name isn't Atelier Butler. It's Atelier Mahon, wife of William Mahon. And you best be very nice to me. And if not, then I'll run away. To the lake of the Dismal Swamp? That's right. I'll come after you. How? Paddling a white canoe? Not me. I'll be riding on the 448 out of Norfolk. Oh, so unromantic. Maybe, but a lot more reliable. We're coming into the station. A dying city, they said. Not Norfolk. Sotley, tie down that whistle. We're here. That was the beginning. Today, on the main line of the Norfolk and Western Railway, 56 million tons of coal are carried in a single year. Tons of freight and thousands of passengers. They ride the line laid down through the Dismal Swamp almost 100 years ago. A line that today recalls the vision and the resourcefulness of Wilma Holm, who, in the spirit and tradition of freedom, freedom of enterprise and of opportunity, built Virginia's gateway to the West. Our thanks to William Holden and Brenda Marshall and to our cavalcade players for tonight's Dupont story, The Firefly Lands. Next week, the Dupont cavalcade will present the popular Hollywood star, Lee Bowman. Our play tells of a young man who walked 1,600 miles, but who refused to walk out on a dream. Be sure to listen. Tonight's Dupont cavalcade, The Firefly Lamp, was written by Irf Tunik. William Holden may soon be seen co-starring with Gloria Swanson in the Paramount picture, Sunset Boulevard. Music was composed by Arden Cornwell and conducted by Donald Voorhees. The program was directed by John Zoller. Ladies and gentlemen, during this national YWCA week, we join the nation in saluting this great organization of three million American women and girls, an integral part of our rural and urban communities and our churches and our schools. The YWCA brings a distinguished contribution to our country's welfare with its high ideals of character and patriotism. The Dupont cavalcade of America comes to you from the stage of the Blasco Theatre in New York and is sponsored by the Dupont Company of Wilmington, Delaware, makers of better things for better living through chemistry.
