River State Government gives federal government 48 hours' ultimatum to prosecute security agents who raided Supreme Court Justice Mary O'Dellis Aboujahoy. Candidates get into final week of campaigns with the Anambra State governorship election just five days away. We'll be looking at the strengths and witnesses of those running for office. We'll also be reviewing the peppers as usually stay with us. A very good morning to you. I am Messi Boko. Welcome to the breakfast on Plastidia Africa and as usual we start off the conversation with our top trending. But first of all I'd like to say Happy New Month is a very first month in the month of November. The countdown already to December has already started and I hope we have an amazing and fantastic November. All right so on our top trending today as usual we have the issue of the invasion of Justice Mary O'Dellis home. Now the governor of River State yes on week A has issued an ultimatum to the federal government asking that those behind it should be prosecuted especially I mean security personnel involved and this should be prosecuted. However on Friday night it was reported that some men some security personnel invaded the home of the Supreme Court Justice in Aboujahoy and that's because they had an information saying there were illegal activities going on. But what's most amazing is the fact that you know there's a lot of denial. The federal government says they're not involved you know the attorney general of the federation is saying they're not in the know so who ordered the raid. Now these are some of the consents that have been you know raised some of the question who raided the home of the Supreme Court Justice. Who are those who ordered the raid what is going on. Is Nigerian on a state of police and is it that the federal government is no longer in charge of the country. Now some people are already saying that this is also some similarity with what happened to Walter Nargeton. I mean ahead of the 2019 elections we see an issue so this could just also be a similar issue. Now these are some of the consents that people are raising that this could just be you know another one ahead of the 2023 elections but we're hoping that you know the without even having the the governor of river state asking that these persons should be apprehended. I'm hoping that the government should wake up to it although I'm asking we already know that the police is actually a serious issue is not controlled by state element and these men will not just go out on their own without an instruction but it's really really funny that at this point in time we're still asking and no one can actually you know say yes we're responsible for this invasion but however we hope that those who are behind this would be prosecuted and justice would actually be served. All right moving away from that is also another major concern some video that actually made the rounds and it cost a lot of conversation across board. We had all of the conversations in different space where you had students singing the national anthem in murky water somewhere in Yaba it's a very swampy area. Now the school is meant for some people are saying oh why would this happen we'll definitely get to that point but you need to understand that this school is meant for the less privileged and orphans and so it therefore means that it's not a government school it therefore also means that they probably might not be having the resources but you also want to ask yourself where is this school located in a very swampy area and that calls for a lot of concern now some people are saying this school should be shut down because first of all you can't have student learning in such an environment where they could contract all sort of you know disease you could have you know cholera outbreak and what have you now the environment is really really sad but i think that you know it's based on the premise that one is trying to draw attention of relevant quarters the government you know to um to the situation at the end of the day but let's see how all of this actually pans out and of course the government has also made some release and some kind of statement and we hope to see what happens after this statement you know by the government okay so we'll just quickly take you know a look at the video and you see for yourself what the school looks like well it's a very very sad one if you ask me i think that for whatever reason attention could have still been drawn without having to have this kids inside the murky water just to draw the attention of you know relevant quarters including government you know to the state of that particular school but should the school be shut down because i mean before you situate or have a school you should actually there should be some environmental assessment done and no school should be situated in that kind of environment yes i know that there's need for charity and you know the work of having to help this kids get better education but we need to do the right thing and we need to keep doing and pushing for the right thing but we were just you know fingers crossed and see how things actually pant out as we proceed all right another one is the fact that government has released names of escaped prisoners and that happened in or your state if i'm not mistaken prior to this time there was also a hint that there will be a prison break but at this point in time it calls for a lot of concern because i mean in 2021 this is not the very first time you have prison been broken and then when you have information or intelligence one will expect that the relevant quarters should act and ensure that that doesn't happen being proactive is what we are not really great at and that's really really really very sad but like we always say that security is not just government's concern it concerns every other person i'm hoping that we will all be out looking out for these persons because that would eventually constitute a nuisance to the society so if you prevent your find the names are already out there i mean you can see the pictures on your faces on the street it's important that you report to the relevant quarters and there should be re-arrested and kept in check in check however we'll take a break now and when we return we will be looking at the front pages of a national dailies we will have family loss and join us in the conversation please stick around and stay tuned good morning


Personal Finance PowerPoint Presentation, Housing Rental Process Overview. Get ready to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. In prior presentations, we've been thinking about the thought process for larger purchase types of decisions, and then we compared and contrasted pros and cons between renting a home and purchasing a home. We're gonna focus now more on the rental side of the decision, focusing in future presentation on the purchasing side of the decision, noting that as we think about these financial decisions, we can break them out into more short-term decisions and longer-term decisions. The very short-term decisions that the ones we make on a day-by-day process are those kind of decisions that we could use a tinkering process, a trial and error process. We can hone down our habits so we can train our gut, so we can trust our gut on the day-to-day decisions. The longer-term decisions, usually having the higher dollar amount decisions that are gonna have an impact from multiple periods into the future, and then you've got a lot of areas that you might look on the scale that are kind of in the middle. So if you're talking about a home purchase, that's clearly gonna be a longer-term decision. If you're talking about the renting of a place, then that usually is gonna be on the middle-in kind of scale in your decision-making process, so you might wanna factor that in in terms of how much thought you wanna put into the rental-making decision. So you might have a rent that's gonna be month-by-month, which would be fairly short-term decision, but it's clearly not a decision that you're gonna be doing on a day-to-day process, that you could just kinda trust your gut on a day-to-day kind of thing, or you're more likely gonna have a lease that you might be locked into, say, for a year, which is kind of a middle-in-term type of decision. That's a significant amount of time, and given the fact that it is costly to move, that you gotta kinda factor that in as a fairly significant type of decision. So you're probably gonna wanna put more time into the renting decision in terms of where you wanna be and what's gonna be your long-term process for where you're going to be. So you can think about this. We've been breaking out just the buying decision into our four categories when you're making a purchase type of decision on a longer-term basis. We got the pre-shopping activities. You can kind of apply those out to the rentable activities as well. Well, number two, evaluating the alternatives would be applicable to renting. Number three, determining the purchase price, and then number four, the post-purchase activities. So you can kind of apply that process still out to the rental kind of process as well. So if we think about the search when you're searching for the rental place where you're going to be, select an area of rental amount. So you wanna kind of consider where the area you're going to be, and you can typically kind of think about the size of the place and the location of the place to get a decent idea of around where the amount is gonna be for the rental, the price of the rental. Compare costs and facilities of comparable units. So clearly we wanna go through a comparison process. A lot of times we can do this more easily online that we have been able to do in the past. And we have a lot of different tools. We'll talk a little bit more about in future presentations to do that side-by-side comparison. But once we've narrowed it down, we probably still wanna go and take a physical look at the locations. So talk to current and post and past residents. So if we know anybody that has lived in that particular location, has worked with the area, the management company and so on, that could be useful information. And if we don't know anybody, we could actually go and talk to people that are in the location and get some more information. Thusly that would be useful generally as well. Before signing a lease, remember when you're signing a lease, it's not like you're purchasing a home for 30 years and signing the 30-year mortgage. It's not that long, but it's still a significant amount of time that you're committing to. It's still a contract and agreement and something that you're gonna be locked into and you wanna verify that you know what's going on before you're locked in. So verify a lease, starting date, costs and facilities. So clearly you wanna know what's the starting date, when can I move into this place and so on. You wanna make sure that you have double-checked the costs on it. You've locked down the costs that are there. Actually look at the lease then and make sure that the cost that's on the lease before you sign it is what you agreed on and thought it was gonna be. And facilities, what kind of facilities are basically available. Make sure that you have the idea of what is there, what you want in terms of the facilities, like a pool and that kind of stuff and what kind of capacity you have to them. And that could include things like garages or like the overhangs which you can park your car under and so on and so forth. One time I moved into a place and I didn't know there was a difference between parking under this overhang thing and under the normal parking. And my car was towed after that. So make sure you know the rules on the parking and whatnot. So talk to a lawyer about unclear aspects of the lease. So if you are looking at a lease, of course most leases are getting more and more standardized but clearly you can have differences to the leases. You can have a whole range of differences. And if you're moving from place to place especially in different states then you might not be as familiar with the structure of the lease and it would be always great if you can have a lawyer take a look at the lease or if you have a particular item that you're unclear about then you might see if you can have someone help you out with that particular item. Note in writing signed by the owner the condition of the rental unit. So you would like to actually go through the rental unit because typically you're gonna be putting down the down payment which you're hoping to get back at the end and you wanna go through the unit and make sure that any kind of things that you might say was damaged going into it is not something that you're going to be paying for out of the down payment. Remember if two names are on the lease one person can be held responsible for the full rent. So then you've got all this kind of issues with well what if two people are renting that's gonna be a lot more complex in terms of just the lease terms because now you're going into the lease and if two people are signing it's kind of like a partnership you're kind of both liable for it and whenever you go into something where it's like a partner type of agreement or arrangement it's often the case that if one person is negligent in the partnership the other one can be held responsible for the entire thing. So if you've got, if you both signed the lease it's often the case it might quite likely could be the case given the format of the lease that if one person doesn't pay the rent that the recourse is still on you to pay the rent even though you paid your half of the rent and so on and so forth. So when you get into those kind of agreements where you got multiple people you wanna make sure what your responsibilities are and that you're moving whoever you're moving in with is knows what their responsibilities are anytime you have any kind of partnership agreement it's best to really kind of lay down what the expectations are going in. Clearly you could also have situations where you need a co-signer kind of situation and you've got similar kind of responsibility issues that you would wanna make sure that everybody involved is well aware of. Living in rental property keep all the facilities in good condition so just as a general rule when you're living in the rental property you wanna basically keep the facilities in good condition so you're not causing a problem for yourself and others and of course if there's damage to the facilities that could be a problem for your deposit and so on. Contact the owners regarding needed repairs. So if you have the repairs one of the benefits on the rental properties that possibly you can have the repairs taken care of by the owner as opposed to outside maintenance which could be a benefit. Respect the rights of others regarding the noise. So clearly if you're a rental property you're probably in a bit closer together kind of situation and therefore you're gonna have more kind of noise conditions and aspects than you might have if you were on a single family unit and you wanna adhere to these rules for the most part as well too not just because it's a courteous thing to do but that as well but also because it can have an effect if you go somewhere else. I mean it's not likely that if you go somewhere else and rent something else it's possible that they would like to contact your prior rental or something like that. They could ask for that it's possible. So especially if you're in a college kind of town or something like that it would be nice when you're moving from place to place to just make sure that you're respectful of the place and then when you leave it would be great if you could leave on good terms just like any other kind of agreement. If you're at a job it would be nice if you can leave the job with good terms so that when you can get there more easily go to the next job. And the same is true with the rental property. If you're not causing problems it's more likely that you might be able to pick up the next rental property a bit more smoothly than if you were a menace to the place so obtained renters insurance for personal belongings and liability situations. So lease and clean the apartment. So clearly when the lease is ending you're gonna move out then they're gonna inspect the place for the security deposit. And again usually you would like to just in terms of having the process go as smoothly as possible for you to go from one lease place to the next lease place you would like to basically put the leave the place kind of as you have it and that will most likely help you to pick up the security deposit when you leave as well. So leave in the same condition as you moved in. Tell the landlord where to send your security deposit so make sure that the landlord still is able to give you the money that if they owe you a security deposit they know where to put that deposit. Require that anyone deductions from your security deposit be documented so if the landlord removes money from the security deposit they should tell you why they removed it from the security deposit. And if it's significant then you wanna make sure that you had an idea of where the place started from and whether or not it's in the same condition that you left and then you could go from there if you wanna argue over whether or not there was a justifiable decrease in the security deposit.


Thank you everyone. Of course this doesn't work and I press the only button they told me not to press. It's 2013. I'm struggling to balance a part-time, day job and a freelancing career and at the time I was following a number of American entrepreneurs blog. How to make your first six figures, how to get 100,000 followers on Twitter, how to make money while you sleep. None of this applied to my business or in my market, which was Italy. I did find, however, a silver lining into this. I found, through this really unreasonable chance and classes and books and forums, a group of like-minded Italian women that were facing the same struggles I was. So we wondered, what if we create something for female, creative entrepreneurs? In Italy, I will do it in Italian for the Italian market, because in Italy at the time there were not 100,000 Twitter people. So how could we get 100,000 followers? There weren't as many. So let's do this. So at the time, I was building WordPress websites for a living. So of course I said, let's create a blog. That's the most natural thing to do. So we wanted to share our knowledge, talk to other women and see what happened. And since we were on a mission to help as many women as we could, we did this for free. And so Cipiubi, which is Casa Pibotega, home and studio, was born in September 2013. This is a screenshot. The design is nothing revolutionary. It's a blog. And the main thing about it is the content. Spoiler alert, the blog has stopped publishing in December 2022. But over nine years, we achieved great results. I personally learned a lot. I learned how to collaborate remotely and asynchronously. A word that I will never learn how to say in English. And how to optimize the editorial workflow, which is the topic of today's talk. So as soon as we launched, the response was amazing. And I know that for some of you, these numbers might look small. But remember, this is a blog for female creative entrepreneurs in Italy, which is a very small niche, especially in 2013. And we covered pretty much all of it. And the content, this is one of the things I'm the most proud of. The content was so good that we had a really big male readership, despite the fact that all our articles addressed a she and often used the stuff like, hey, sister, in our opening lines. I would like to say that we started with a strategy. We did not. And probably we never had one, let's be honest. But this was also intrinsic to the nature of the blog itself. In a sense, its birth was very similar to many open source projects like WordPress. We had the niche to scratch, finding information for women entrepreneur. And we started pouring our hearts and soul and everything we learned and everything we didn't know and we wanted to learn on the pages of the blog. Let's say we had a strategy, or at least we had some guiding principles. So we had three guiding principles. One was right for our specific niche. Don't get sidetracked. So it's female, creative, entrepreneurs in Italy, most of the time at the beginning of the journey. We did never wrote to impress other people. We wrote to be helpful. Two, choose topics that are relevant, that the audience finds challenging. This will help you create content that is useful and not, you know, we wrote a lot of how-to's and actionable articles and not some vague mission statements or, you know, theoretical musings. And three, make the articles readable, indexable, and accessible with a good semantic structure. I'm an HTML fan. So that was from day one. We had pretty strict rules about how to format our articles. And it needs to be shareable with featured image, text snippets, and other elements that will look good no matter which platform you use to distribute the content. So one of the first things we realized we needed to manage were roles. We tried a number of different solutions before settling on members, which is a free, freemium plugin that you can find on the WordPress.org repository. This gave us a more granular control over WordPress standard user capabilities. We kept the same user roles to make it easy for everyone and manage the permission via the plugin. So editors could edit articles, but they could not do updates. They could not install new things. Authors could only write their article, upload their article, and edit it until the publishing. Once the article gets published, only editors could edit the post. And finally, subscribers, which is the status we moved all the previous writers so they cannot do anything other than changing their user profile. We encouraged everyone to do over the years to keep it relevant. I keep pushing the only button that I should not push. It's incredible that nothing has exploded yet. So I have decided early on to limit the access for two reasons. First, quality of the content was very important for us, so we wanted to review every article before it went online and we wanted to make sure that nothing would be changed without an editor permission and oversight. And second, I really wanted to reduce the standard capabilities to lower the surface of attack in case of hacking, something that happened to us very early on the process. So that was a good lesson, so we tried to implement better security processes. The plugin is very easy to use. You have all the WordPress functionality and plugins on one side, and then you can just give the capability, grant or deny to the person. It can go very granular, so that's very useful. And the other thing that I really wanted to limit, and I think anyone who has ever written for a blog knows this one, the ability to create tags and categories. Four years ago we did a content audit. We had over a thousand tags, which were reduced to 60, and we had over 30 categories, which were reduced to eight. This makes it so much easier for the reader to move around the blog and find the content that is really relevant for them instead of seven different variations of the word. Portrait, portraits, headshot, headshots, avatar, gravitar, you know, they all mean that that person faces there. So we tried really to limit that to focus on how easy it would be for our readers to go through it. Again. So over the years we found all these wonderful people that we then had to manage their user capabilities and ensured that their writing would really fit ChipUB style and mission thanks to our onboarding process. So anytime we wanted to add or needed to add new authors to the blog, we used two processes. A call for contributors and a direct invitation. We did a mix of both because I really believe that a variety of established and new voices is very important for a blog like ours, but basically for any blog I would say. So when someone responded to the call, we vetted them. As I said, the content was the number one priority for us. So it didn't matter if you had one follower or a million follower, all it mattered is are you going to write something useful for our readers? That's it. So we checked their social media profile, their blogs. We assessed their writing style, tone, how they talk about the topics they were expert on to see if it was a good fit for our own readers. And we had the screening calls to get to know people better because we wanted really to avoid us attention seekers. I would love to tell you that we never had any attention seekers. We did have some, but we dealt with it very gracefully, I want to say. And once the authors were selected in one way or another, we sent them an agreement. It might sound overkill for a free blog run by volunteers, but this was very important for us, again, to guarantee a certain quality standard. It was also a way for us to lead by example in an industry in 2013 where it was kind of the Wild West in Italy back in the days for the blogs. So we asked the first lawyer that wrote for CHPB to draw up an agreement for our authors, which to this day they have the copyright for what they wrote. They can ask us at any time to remove or change the material. And in return, we kind of asked them not to duplicate the content for SEO reasons, but also for ethical reasons. You're either writing for us or you're writing for yourself. Both are fine, but just don't piggyback on one or the other. All the content is still available and will still be available until my friends at Sitegram give me hosting, which I hope is forever. And it's released under a non-commercial, non-derivative, attribution, creative, common, international, 4.0, whatever license. So we asked all the authors that didn't have one already to create a gravatar. If you're not familiar with what a gravatar is, it's a hosted service where you can link your email to your profile picture. We can also have different emails and profile pictures, so they will show in WordPress, and not only WordPress comments and posts. So then we created the user profile for the author and asked everyone to add as many details as possible, high ties, as links to the website and social media. Also Karim got here. I'm going to remember this. Every author had an author box. This is mine. At the end of single articles and at the beginning of their archive, post-archive. At the time, I love doing a bit of coding. I'm terrible. No one ever wants me to do it. But at the time, I extended the standard functionality of WordPress to include as many links as possible to the author box profile. Now there's a block for that, but at the time I just tweaked some PHP to get as many links as possible since no one was ever paid to write for a Chpubit. It was really important that everyone would get maximum visibility out of it. And not everyone was familiar with WordPress. Shocking. I know. But there are still people out there that elusive 57% that don't know how to use WordPress. So we taught them how to use it to increase their productivity but also to improve their professional growth. So we gave each new author a welcome package. I'm very proud of this. I have to say, but talking about this, I'm like, I can't believe we did all of that. So with a lot of instructions, how to fill out your profile for maximum visibility, how to format the post for the HTML aficionado here, how to write for SEO without forgetting the people. Guidelines on how many words to use. What else did we put? We put common spelling mistakes. And I was very wary of this at the beginning. I was like, people are going to be offended. Instead of people years later, thank me for that welcome package because when I have a doubt about how to write the thing in Italian, Italian has tons of accents. So when I have a word about how to use the... Oh, hello, Stefan. How to put the accent. They go back to our welcome package. So that's great. We built the documentation over the years. So it wasn't this good at the beginning. But if you're starting now, there are two international resources that I advise to use, and one is very much for Italy. One is MailChimp Style Guide, which is also released under a non-commercial, non-something, yes, to something else, creative, common license. I wish I could remember those, but I never do. And the other one, shout out to the other people that provide the free membership to Chibubi, is the Yoastessio Academy, which is a great resource, and I'm not saying this because they're here, but it really is. Even the free training is really worth the time you're going to put into it, and if you can upgrade, do it. And then the other one is Italian is a very opinionated, gendered language. And because we wanted everything to be first for female, and then we expanded this, there's a big topic in Italy about how inclusive our language is, but this is a guide we use from an Italian linguist that really helped us bring it up a notch in terms of writing. So once we gathered all the writers, we created an editorial calendar. At the beginning, and again, I don't know how we did this. Now, when I tell it, it sounds just insane. We posted six to seven times a week. Then, a couple of years into the story, into the publishing, we ran a survey, 900 people replied, that's a lot of replies. Like, we didn't expect that response, and the main reply we got was, we cannot keep up with you. You're writing too much. So we decided to move to three times a week, but long-form posts. And that really helped us, not only we doubled the audience, but we really managed also to place ourselves better in search engine result pages. So to create the calendar, I didn't use any fancy tool, paper and pencil. I printed out Google Calendar pages, filled them with the names of the authors, in the days I knew we were going to publish something, and then decided, like, we have a whole here, what are we going to do? Are we going to invite someone to write? Do we need, maybe we miss a category, we miss a topic completely, so we're going to invite someone new to write. And this was great.  And that's how we also brought new authors in, because we saw that, hey, there's visibly a place where there is no one, so we need someone to fill in that spot. And that's how we found new categories or new articles. Then we did use the fancy tech. We moved everything to Trello, which is a free project management tool. We used this board to have the calendar as a list, and then on the left, you see ideas for articles. So if someone found, you know, around the web an interesting article, and they thought it would be a good fit for Chpub, but it was not their topic, they would put it here, and someone else would pick it up. We had workflows and documentation, so everyone could refer back to it at any time if they had any doubt. And also we used it to manage the social engagement campaigns, community engagement campaigns we would run at the time. And then the last step was really to put the Google Calendar pages back into Google Calendar with the publishing dates, and when you see editing, it's because that's the editor that needs to edit the next article, which is something we're going to talk now in the posting process. Up until now, we've talked about the roles, the prep work to set up the blog, so let's look at how this over a thousand articles got published over the years. So there was a number of people involved behind the scenes. Our newsroom, shout out to Aaron Sorkin show fans. That is me, a mama bear, because whatever I do in life, I'm a mama bear. So the editor-in-chief main responsibility was, of course, well, not of course, we discovered what it was, because we didn't know, so we made it up, to pick the best possible content for GPOB. We had three over the course of nine years. I served for the first three years that I handed over to someone else, and then they handed over to someone else. And so the editor-in-chief is responsible for reading all the proposals, vetting the speakers if, you know, there needs to be vetted, guiding the editorial vision of the blog. What else? I have a list, but I don't know if I put everything. Putting together the editorial calendar and, you know, all these things. The author main focus is one, writing. Writing the best possible content they can for our readers. That's it. They don't need to worry about anything else. They could get inspiration for various sources, industry news, their own subject matter, they were all subject matter expert, or one topic or another, so that. Or, and this was really the thing that helped us the most over the years, it was the whole group of authors were female creative entrepreneurs. So we had our target audience within the group. We didn't need to do a lot of research. It was enough for someone to raise their hand and say, hey, I don't know how to invoice now. In Italy we have like 27,000 fiscal ways of doing things, of registering a company. So, you know, I was like, I have no clue how to invoice. And then the accountant of the group was like, excellent idea for this month post, let's do it. So, you know, it was very easy to, we never ran out of topics basically. The editors were the biggest group inside the newsroom. We had copy, photo, social media and SEO. So copy editors reviewed all the posts, of course, to adjust the language, tone of voice, spelling mistakes, but sometimes they rewrote entire articles. Why? We picked an author that were really good at what they did, but they were terrible writers. It doesn't matter. They still have the experience we need to provide good content for our readers. So your copy editors would work with them to get those ideas and knowledge they had on paper. Then we had the person in charge of picking an image for each article we had, and not one of the templates we used. I'm looking at times, sorry. Like, using the same 10 templates all the time. Every single article had a different image. So we had a template then to add a sentence that would represent the post content. So wherever we would distribute this, it would go together with a featured image that would tell you what was it. Then, of course, social media folks who were really present throughout the years on Facebook. We experimented with Instagram. We failed miserably. What is written there? Because five minutes. Oh, my God, I'm late. So social media, SEO. We really tried to cover it all to make the best possible content. I'm really late. So six people read each article before publishing. That's a lot. But that's what ensures a consistent quality throughout over a thousand articles. So to manage it all, we used Publish Press, which is also a freemium plugin. We used its free version, but also some paid modules to manage. It really provides great help for editorial workflows for teams that have to share all this information. So we used the editorial comments the most, but we also created user groups. So the right people would get notifications at the right time. And we used the checklists. Checklists are great. Pre-publishing, pre-go live checklists are great. They can be as loose or as mandatory as you want them to be. Here are some examples, a comment, the checklist of must have and nice to have, required, non-required, and then notifications at the article level. So this is the whole process. It looks insane, but that's what worked for us. I won't lie. We came up with this completely randomly and intuitively. None of us had any previous experience in large blogs or publishing companies. So I'm very proud to see this on stage because after I went to work in WordPress agencies and companies, I realized that this is how it's done. This is how actually big companies do that. Having a detailed process really made us incredibly efficient for a group of volunteer contributors. So I would say don't be afraid to be directive. That will help people. Removing the guesswork always helps. So the last important piece of the puzzle is the human factor, and also the hardest to manage always. My number one rule I would say in life, not just for blogging, is ban trolling and pettiness. So if a writer started to complain about what they were given, how much visibility and things like that, it was time to have a talk. And if commenters got abusive or personally offended one of the authors, no mercy, IP blacklisted, person banned forever. Ban trolls and bullies. That's really my number one rule in life, I would say. Again, it happened, but we dealt with it immediately, firmly. It was not pleasant, but it was necessary. If at any point, this is also something that I learned at Chipp Ubi, if at any point you realize someone or part of the process is becoming a blocker, figure out how to remove that. And if you are the bottleneck, like I was, remove yourself. Delegate. So for more than three years, I felt that I needed to do everything. I needed to know everything. I needed to control everything. Guess what? Chipp Ubi was not growing because it was everywhere. So luckily, I realized I had a lot of work to do, so I couldn't keep up with that. And that's when I realized that delegating is a wonderful skill in life. And documentation, Milana, documentation matters, hashtag. This was really helpful to ensure that we would hand off the project as an article to someone more or less seamlessly. And it's also important to empower people. When we saw that someone was really invested in Chipp Ubi, we said, hey, do you want to do something else? Do you want to be an editor? Do you want to manage one of our social media channels? Do you want to bring up a new initiative? That's great to empower people. You'll never know where the next great teammate is going to come from. Don't forget to welcome change. Again, this is the Italian mama bearing me. Whenever someone wanted to leave, I was like, oh, no, how? We built this together. Why are they leaving me? It's natural. It's okay. I will have to convince myself to do that when my son turns 18, but that's for another topic, for another talk. So I started seeing this as an opportunity. If someone is not as creative and as driven and doesn't have the mindset, doesn't have the energy at that time to write, then we do a disservice to our readers. And it's an opportunity because they go do something else and there's new space for people that actually have the energies and have the creativity and have the mindset in that moment to bring something new to the table. Finally, a blog without readers is nothing. Find a way to talk with your readers and not to them. Listen to them. We had different initiatives on different channels to communicate as much as possible with our readership. We had Facebook. We had this follow Friday that started on Twitter and we're like, let's do it on Facebook, where people have more space to write. It was back in the day where only had, I don't know, 120 characters, whatever. So on Friday we would post something and people could reply with a link to their business and a lot of collaboration started out of it, which is beautiful. Cost zero. We had, before Instagram was cool, and that was really a fail because we were on Instagram from the beginning and we had this hashtag on piano, which in Italian is both, I have a plan and I have a desk. So we asked the people to post the pictures of their desk, messy, curated, doesn't matter, and we would repost them or tell us what they were working on, which is also a great place where you get a peek inside the lady that did the earrings. So, you know, you can find what she's up to. We had monthly Twitter chats, a book club. I forget something, I'm sure. And we open call for contributors all the time. And I believe, and I still believe, that Chippy B readers made four incredible new authors because they knew exactly what the blog stood for as readers first and as authors later. So, despite the constant flow of his blogging dead articles, which basically have started to appear the day blog were invented, so we've been at this for 20 years, blogs are not dead. In the last few years, we've seen time and time again how risky it is to put our content in someone else's hand. We've seen how much the open web is under threat from proprietary solutions. And in terms of branding recognition and positioning, a blog is still a really good tool, a powerful one to have in your content strategy toolbox. So, use it wisely. And I'm sure it will help your business and community grow. That would be all for me. I'm Francesca Marano, the director of engineering. I'm not a coder, so I deal with learning and growth of our wonderful engineers at XWP. You can find me in these places. I'm usually Francesca Marano everywhere. I'm late to reply to everything, but I would love to continue the conversation either here or online. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you so much, Francesca. We still have some time for questions and answers. Oh, do we? Fantastic. We do. I thought I was running super late. But we made sure to a lot, a little bit of time, so I see in the back. Oh, I don't see because I don't have the glasses. Hello. Hello. I made it back. So, how did it work out for the authors, the availability strategy? It did work out so well that the first group of authors left me heartbroken because they got so much business out of this visibility they got from that blog that at some point they were like, we don't have time to write for ChpB anymore. We have to write for our own cells. We don't even have time to write for our blog because it's business, business, business. So it worked very well. Thank you for the question. Other questions. But I need someone to point me somewhere because I don't see anything. I don't have my glasses. Over here. Hi. Hello, Francesca. Yes, I'm coming over there. Otherwise I'm not going to see you. I hope I don't trip on the way. It's going to make for a fun moment. What was finally the reason not to continue with blogging? And was it like a team decision or was it just it was just done the project? What was it that you stopped? So I think things have a life cycle. As I said, the ChpB was very grassroots. It was born out of necessity. The first group of authors were desperately lonely. We were women that were launching online businesses at a time where this was not so common in Italy. So we really were enthusiastic about it. We wanted just to share all the things that we did well and all the things we didn't do well with other women. Over the years, a lot of big players came into the market. Some big Italian newspapers started their female-driven initiative to use their diversity, equity and inclusion budget, I believe, because a lot of men write for those blogs. So, you know, when you have Corriere della Serra, which is like, I don't know, the daily... I don't know the name of the... Well, it's a big newspaper. So when they have budget of millions, you know, and they start opening these satellite projects and satellite blogs for women, for women in tech, and then there was this, you know, women in tech. Everyone is a woman in tech, which is great. I love it. I'm a woman in tech. But at some point it was like, what do we still have to offer? And also we were tired. Does this volunteer work? And you know how tiring volunteer work is. So we went at it for nine years. And then last year in September, we said, okay, we're gonna pivot, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that. And also when we started, we were all in our early 40s, in our early 50s. So we were like, I'm too tired for this. And we found a new generation, but then also this new generation got a bit older and they got a lot of business, thanks to the visibility. So at some point it just ran its course. But I'm very happy the content. I'm now doing a new content editing audit to just leave the evergreen content because, you know, if there is some Pinterest stuff there that is not relevant anymore, I don't want it there. So we're doing this slowly and just, you know, reducing the number of articles and focus on the evergreen content. And I really hope it's gonna be stay up for many years. Thank you. John, you had a question. I'm coming here so I can see you. Wonderful talk, thank you. Thank you. Did you, at some point, consider monetizing it? Why not? All the time. Why did it end up shutting down exactly? Because it was also a lot of work. Like monetizing a blog is not as easy as people think in it. So we were all the time, oh my God, we have so many readers. We're gonna get rich out of this thing. Nothing. We maybe we made like 120 euros for a sponsored post once in nine years. It just didn't felt we wanted it. We wanted it badly because we're like, we're giving great content. It's great content. We, but finding sponsors, finding how to monetize it is a job and we were already so busy with the content that we're like, okay, what are we doing? Are we keep focusing on the content and be, you know, up late to do this? Or do we start looking for sponsors? Do we start looking? We didn't want ads. It didn't feel right for the audience. So yeah, we didn't make a buck. And I'm so grateful for the people that sponsored us from day one because no, not from day one, the first two years I paid for everything. So yeah, we thought about it, but... Meh. We have time for one more question. I don't see any question, but I also... Okay. Sorry. I'm so sorry. Thank you Francesca. Thank you. Oh, once again. Let's give a round of applause for Francesca. Thank you so much.


Good morning. Oh, Johnny. Lovely morning. Hi, Johnny. Beautiful morning. Morning, Mr. Mason. Harry, it's a marvelous morning. Have a nice trip. Sensation. Great city, Boston. Terrific. Honey, what's he like? Yeah, come on. Yeah, come on. Wait a minute. I can't describe her. Nobody can. But I happen to have a fighter. So you combine business with pleasure.  Here's about what? About you getting married on his time, without his consent, or his daughters. What's he got to do with it? Well, now, my boy, the chief topic of conversation around these parts has been that you and Miss Doolittle... No, malarkey office talk. Carter isn't a word of truth in it. Judge Doolittle may not think so. Is that so? Well, if he doesn't like it, he can lump it. Well, good morning, Judge Doolittle. What's all this mess? Well, it seems that everybody around here found out that I... When I was up in Boston... What are you doing in Boston? You sent me, sir. Don't you remember? You sent me up there to get a deposition on the Higgins vs. Higgins case. Did you get it? Yes, sir. Well, what's all this? What's all this horseplay? Well, while I was in Boston, after I got the deposition, I had a few hours to spare. And so I had just a few hours. Well, go on, go on. I got married. You what? I got married. You got married? Yes, sir. I got married. Come into my office. Yes, sir. Where's the deposition? What's this? Oh, that's... That's just sort of a letter. So you got married? Yes, sir. I imagine this will be a surprise to some people. Yes, sir. No, sir. I mean, well, I don't know. It all happened rather suddenly. See, we met on Boston Common the night I arrived, and I'd had a bite at Thompson Spa, and then I took a little stroll around the Common, and I saw her standing there. She, uh, just standing there.  Well? In her eye. Whose eye? Jane's. Mrs. Mason, my wife. Oh. Of course, she wasn't my wife then. She's my wife now. And I got the sender out of her eye. And you married her? Yes, sir. Quick work, wasn't it? Yes, sir. Ah, Judge, we... We knew the moment we looked at each other. We knew the moment we looked at each other. You did? Yes, sir. Last year, there were nearly a half a million divorces in this country. Congratulations, Mason. Thank you very much, sir. Mr. Hunt would like your opinion on this, sir. Oh, this is for you, Mr. Mason. Special messenger. It's Mark Rush, important. Rush? Important? What is it? Oh, it's... What is it? Oh, it's, uh, a letter from my wife. Your wife? What'd you do, leave her in Boston? Oh, no, she's right here, sir. Here, in town? Yes, sir. Well, if your wife's in town, why'd she write you a letter? Well, she likes to write letters, Judge. Yes, it's sort of a little custom we have. You see, she wrote me a letter the first day she met me, right as soon as she got home, and she's written me one ever since. Even coming down on the train together, she wrote me.  I didn't. I don't approve of honeymoons. Waste of time. Uh-huh. Well, you know how women are, and Mrs. Mason and I. What about Higgins against Higgins? You, the only one in the office, knows this case. It's on the calendar for next week. Well, if I could get a continuance. Opposing counsel wouldn't consent. Well, but I talked to Mr. Hornblow this morning, and he agreed to a continuance. Well, all right, take a week. A week? Well, Judge, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to make it in a week. What? We couldn't make it in a week. Make what? My wife and I had sort of planned a trip to Europe on the Normandy. Oh, well, take two weeks, then. After I got the sender out of Jane's eye, we, we talked for a little while, and then we, uh, took a little walk around the commons. Yes. And, uh, now we walked for quite some time, then we went over to Thompson Spa for a bite. Yes.  Well, rather an unconventional meeting, wasn't it? These cookies are delicious. They're made with sour cream. Oh, I'm crazy about sour cream. I'm crazy about Jane. Look, John's so young and impulsive. Oh, well, now, Mother, wait a minute. This is different. Are you visiting relatives here in New York, my dear? Uh, well, yes and no, we had none exactly. I came over with Johnny and Boston together last night. Well, yes, Mother, we thought as long as we were engaged. Engaged? Oh, I know how upset you must be, Mrs. Mason. You know so little about me that it all happened so suddenly. Well, I should think it was sudden. What did your family have to say about it? I have no family. Oh. Didn't John say something about your taking a course in journalism? Yes, but I gave it up after I met Johnny. Uh, I'm sort of a postgraduate course. Oh, my dear, if you have a talent for writing, take my advice and develop it while you're young. One needs all one's time and energy for a career. Don't you think marriage is a career in itself? Oh, indeed, emphatically. That's why one mustn't rush into it, pale male. Marriage is a business, a very serious business, a partnership, in the strictest sense of the word. One must prepare for it. There are so many things to learn. Well, Jane will learn all those after we're married. I hope and pray that that day will not come for many years. Well, Mother, what do you mean? You mean we shouldn't? Emphatically not. There's no reason for Jane to develop into a little household drudge. Well, I hope you understand I have nothing against Jane. In fact, I like her. I like her very much. Well, I'm glad you do, Mother, because you remember a little while ago you asked Jane whether she'd come to New York to visit relatives. Well, as a matter of fact, she has come to New York to visit relatives.  We're married. Well, Mother, everybody gets married sooner or later. Johnny, get the smelling salt. What do they look like? Mother, where are the smelling salt? What's done is done.  Then they'll grow up and leave you and you'll say to yourself, it's all right. That's the way it is. You've served your purpose. Mother, don't excite yourself anymore. Oh, I'm all right now. I wish you every possible happiness and joy. I think perhaps I'd better go to bed. I'm all right. I'll find a place to live, of course. Not, Mother, you'll stay with us. We're going to find a new apartment. We've talked this all over in J.L. and says, won't you, darling? We couldn't think of anything else. Well, we'll see. See, I told you it'd be all right. Oh, Johnny, maybe we shouldn't have gotten married. Maybe we shouldn't have gotten married at all. All visitors are sure, please.  I won't. He gets rashes. And don't forget to make him wear his raincoat in London. I won't. He had pneumonia once. Mother, that was 12 years ago. I feel fine now. And take good care of yourself, too. Goodbye, Mrs. Mason. Take good care of me. Goodbye, Mother. Oh, now, Mother, it's only two weeks, you know. I don't. Goodbye. Oh. What's this? The heating pad. You forgot to pack it. Cozy. It's the only one I had left. I think we can do better off the boat sail. Oh, what for? I love it. It's so intimate. What's that? Oh, that's nothing. No. Is it something somebody gave you? No. I know it's something for me. It is. Let me see it. What do you mean? I forgot to pack. What are you being so mysterious about? Let me see it. Really? You present? You can't fool me, Johnny. You shouldn't have done this. Oh. Johnny.  I couldn't leave it in the office. What? You know, when I was in school, I was taught that two things can't occupy the same place at the same time. What? Well, we'll get the start again. It's a bigger bed. No, you couldn't get a bigger bed in here, though. Oh, I think it's big enough. Oh, yeah. We're trying to turn around. Johnny! What's that? I don't know. I have oceans real bad. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny. Johnny, this is the first time in my life, I've been away from America. Me too. Isn't it just beautiful? Yeah, yeah. You see what I mean. Jane. What, Johnny? You remember that cylinder I took out of your eye ofın' bossum? Never again. Well, you know what, threw that away? I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't get that cylinder. Put it in a locket or something, you know? I've hadn't been with that cylinder. I'm sorry about Johnny, we had to meet. Ah, I know I might be sure right. Still haven't had a look for that cinder. Johnny, isn't it just beautiful? Oh, voyage darling. Oh, voyage. First, go to your left, sir. I don't know, I said we had to come down. Judge Doolittle sent me. He did. Oh, Carter, this is Miss, uh... This is my wife. I found a rich card from the office. How do you do? Happy to know you. It's a good thing I got her in time. You've got just about ten minutes. Ten minutes for what? To get off the boat. To get off... What are you talking about? Higgins against Higgins. What about Higgins against Higgins? Higgins against Higgins goes on the calendar for next week. Oh, no, no. Well, that's where you're mistaken. I got a continuance for a whole month. You think you did? Well, I did. Why didn't you ask Hornblow about it? He gave me his word of honor. Well, you know a hornblow. Well, Johnny, they can't do this to you. No, I can't do this to you. What does just do little think he is? A puppet? What does he think I am? A puppet or something? Some kind of a pawn he can push around anyway he likes? Do you push her all over the place? Is that what you want me to tell Doolittle? Yes. Oh, Carter, wait a minute. Are you sure that Higgins case is going on next week? Monday morning at nine o'clock. Look, will you excuse us just a minute? Jane. I'm glad you said that, Johnny. Yeah, sure. Jane, look, this Higgins versus Higgins is a pretty important case. I don't care if it's the most important case in the world. It isn't as important as a honeymoon, is it? No, no, of course not, Johnny. But it's just... What's the matter? Got lipstick on your mouth.  You've got to disregard your own convenience. Convenience? You don't call this a convenience. Oh, no, no, Johnny. Listen, Johnny, believe me. I'd tell Doolittle to jump in the lake and I'd be even at the risk of losing my job. But if I win the case, I get a chance to go in with a firm. And a... And a firm like this. But it's my honeymoon and Doolittle knows it's my honeymoon. You... There are just some things a man just can't do. There's some things a man just can't do. Carter thought it was funny. He laughed.  They ever tried pulling anything like this again.  Someone would step on that ear thing of his. Oh, we still have the tickets here. I hope Higgins beats Higgins. The alligator pairs, Annie. Johnny! It's your mother-in-law. Oh, hello, dear. Would you mind fixing the place cards for me? I'm so late. They're right in there on the desk. Certainly, dear. The girl took so long to fix my hair.  Del shopping wet. You should have made an earlier appointment. Yes, I should. I thought I'd put Judge Doolittle on my right, of course. Naturally. Mr. Carter, I suppose I'll have to have him on my left. You seem to think I've never done this before. No, no, dear. It's just that I never have. You have the wine glasses on the wrong side, Annie. The left side was the right side where I worked before. The right side with the water glasses, Annie. How do you think the table looks? Isn't it a little crowded? Oh, that girl would drive me crazy. Well, the things that pop up at the last minute.  Oh, are you sitting on Johnny's right? Well, I always have been. Well, I thought I'd put Mr. Doolittle there tonight. Oh, well, of course, it's your part, my dear. But just as once, do you mind? Oh, no, of course not. You know, I used to think that John and Eunice do little. Yes. There was nothing in it, but a lovely girl. Would you be a dear and see if Annie has the appetizers fixed? Well, of course, my dear. I think you have too many on the plate, Annie. And shouldn't they be garnish? Where's the silver tray, the one I gave them? I don't know how many hands they expect you to have around this place. There's just so much a body can do. I'm only human. I'll fix the canopies for you, Annie, as you seem to have so much to do. A little bit too much vinegar in the salad dressing, I'm afraid, Annie. I'm only human. Oh, your potatoes aren't going to burn, are they? I'm afraid to put them on too early. I'm leaving. You're what? Right now. You can stand just so much, and I'm only human. But you can't do that. What's the matter? I can't please everybody. Oh, but Annie, my guests will be here any minute. Well, I'll see you through dinner, but I'm leaving at nine o'clock sharp in order to catch the 930 ferry boat to Staten Island. And nobody's going to stop me. I'm only human. Watch the potatoes, Annie. Dear, Annie has so much to do with the extra guests and everything. Don't you think we'd better humor tonight and sort of leave her alone? But you asked me to see about the canopies. Well, I know, but it's a great deal for one person to do, and too many of us telling her what to do only upsets her. Well, I was only trying to help. Oh, there's Johnny. I bet you forgot the wine. Oh, Grant, I put his favorite tip up. Call it up. Two Little's Club and found out. Pretty nice, huh? It's burgundy, and it's sparkles. Here, have Annie chillin', Mother. Oh, so they'll be here any minute. Better hurry up and get dressed. How's everything going? Everything's lovely. An elder made him for Annie, and this one's final. She's through tonight. Tonight? It's all right, though. She'll see us through dinner. Oh. I'll see why you have so much trouble with the service without the offer and get all the help you want. I'd like to change places with you just for one day. Jane, for Pete's sake, what did you do with the witch hazel? I didn't have it. Look on the third shelf back of the eye wash. You're always putting things behind things. That was a brilliant idea if you was asking Eunice to let the last minute. Well, she and the judge are sort of like corned beef and cabbage. They're always together. And that impossible twerk, Carter, I suppose you had to ask him, too. Well, Eunice had some sort of a date with Carter, so what could I do? Gosh, I'm not only going to do all that guy's work for him, I feed him as well. Well, it's all going to be different when my name goes up there in that door. Johnny, you really think so? Well, it's practically up there now. What's for dinner tonight? Roast beef. Roast beef? Do little's delight. Oh, I tried to have Annie make your trip pretty, but you never heard of it. It's all right. Between roast beef and Higgins against Higgins, how can we live? That's going to be all right, my name up there in the door. Do little's... Messier-Smith? Do little's... Hutch? Mason. Oh, Johnny. Well, did I win my motion for a new trial in Higgins against Higgins? I had a memo from Do Little today. You did? What did he say? He said he couldn't handle it better himself. When he eats from your table tonight, he'll eat out of my hand. And will I tell Carter? And will we hop to Normandy? We go places. Oh, will we do things? Darling, I don't like that time. We're the blue ones. I'm a holy mackerel. Johnny, does your name have to be last? Well, for the time being, anyway. Gosh, you know what it means to a man to get in a firm like that? You know what it means to a firm to get a man like you in it?  Yeah, it's a pretty nice neck you get there. As nice as Eunice Doolittle's? You know, what do I know about Eunice Doolittle's neck? Never even noticed she had one. Hey, you know what time it is? Get dressed, will you? Well, I am dressed. Well, come on then. Oh, Granite Fuss will be here any minute. Good evening. Wow, George. Good evening. We were just... I have great news for you tonight, Judge. We're having roast beef. What? Roast beef for dinner. Would you care for some old wine, Judge Doolittle? What's that? More wine. Yes, thank you. Any some old wine for Judge Doolittle? There ain't any more. A salad fork for Judge Doolittle. I put one there. The funniest thing happened the other day, Judge Doolittle. I ran across the yearbook of my husband's class in college. In the class prophecy, he was picked as the one most likely to succeed. What's that? The other day, I ran across the yearbook of my husband's class in college. And in the class prophecy... Oh, yes, yes, yes. It's against Tiggins. It's a pretty important case, isn't it? Well, we like to think all of our cases are important. The little client of today may be the big client of tomorrow. Oh, you're so right, Judge. For instance, we got a client the other day. Oh, dear. What happened to your ice cream, Annie? I told you to get that icebox fixed. Annie, give this note to Mr. Mason. The true Judge Doolittle something new is going to happen in the firm this week. Excuse me. What? Excuse me, please. Oh, yes, we're going to have a blood transfusion. I'm only speaking metaphorically, of course. What I mean is that we're getting some new blood into the firm, appointing a junior partner. You couldn't stand serve the coffee, could you, Annie? No. Here's $7 and I'll send you... I want my $12 now. All right, all right, Annie, I'll get it for you. I'll get it, maybe. That's the way we keep an old firm young. I've been doing this... Excuse me. Johnny. Every five years. But it's quite a job to pick the right man. I shouldn't think so. Surely, it's a question of men. As a rule, I trust my own judgment. But when it comes to picking men, I... Excuse me, please, Annie. Johnny. I think that's nothing like a woman's intuition. Oh, you're so right, Judge. Of course, Eunice doesn't know much about law, but she's traveled all over the world and she does know people. Five years ago, it was at her suggestion that I took Mr. Hutch into the firm. It went out so well that... I beg your pardon. I'm sorry. This year, I have again consulted my daughter. And now, a new name moves up on the door of our offices. Beginning next Monday, the name of the firm will be Doolittle, Messerschmitt, Doolittle, Hutch, and Carter. Carter, that's... Congratulations. That's wonderful, isn't it? Isn't it? I always knew you had it in you, Carter. Well, I'd like to propose a toast to the new pardoner. I... But we seem to have run out of wine. Out of... Isn't there any more wine? May I have some note paper and an envelope, please? Certainly. The ocean. Would you like a stamp? No, thank you. Could I have a safety pin, please? Surely. Thank you. And I tell you, gentlemen of the jury, that the defendant Higgins, with unbrotherly venom and motivated solely by a desire maliciously and hatefully to interfere with his brother's rights and privileges, deliberately and improperly diverted the waters of the stream. Well, gentlemen, I leave the determination of these matters in your hands. Confident that your verdict will bring justice to my client, the plaintiff in this action. Gentlemen of the jury, you will now retire to arrive at the verdict. Jane, how long have you been here? I got here just as you started your summation. Oh, Johnny, it was wonderful. You should have been here when I cross-examined Higgins. Your Higgins? No, the other one. You skin him alive. I tore him apart. I really couldn't... Johnny. I said, part of the second part wishes to announce the part of the first part that we're going to be in the Martyr Flood space. Congratulations, Mr. Mason. Good work. You did a swell job. Oh, she's fine. Everything was fine. Baby weighs seven pounds, one and a third ounces. Is this mine? This is your boy. Now he's all yours, Mr. Mason. Yeah, all mine. Come in again sometime. Thanks very much. Oh, well, I mean, I... Yeah. What is it, a boy or a girl? Johnny. Uh-huh. You like him? I sort of.   Jane, don't you think he looks old? Old? What do you mean old? Well, I mean, don't you think he looks about six months old or a year at least?    How can he has all your features? I don't see how you can tell that by looking at that. Well, just look at the clinkles around his eyes. They're just like yours when you're happy. He doesn't look happy, Jane. He looks kind of bored. Well, you'd be bored, too, if you'd been through what he has.  Look at that, Jane. Look at that grip.  Now, Mr. How's it feel to have your first bath? Be sure you soak his head thoroughly. It prevents cradle calf. Yes, I know, Mother. Eddie Johnny doesn't want not your cradle calf, does he? Boy, look at those shoulders. Jane, can I do something, please? Johnny! What you've done, I almost dropped him. Will you please move over? Only let me show you how. I know how, Mother. They showed me in the hospital. Now you don't rub and dry. You just pat him. I am patting him. He looks red. Maybe the water was too hot. No, it wasn't, Mother. I tested it. It was just right. Was it a water too hot for Eddie Johnny? Johnny, give me a shirt. Shirt. Shirt. Here. No, not that one, this one. Boy, look at that chest. Come on, Jane. Can I help? Be careful of his little head, my dear. I will. Johnny, you better go in the kitchen and warm his milk. Milk. It's the colic. It isn't, Mother. He's just hungry. I saw him, my dear. It's a touch of the colic. He's been crying for five minutes. He was just hungry. If he were fed on time, he wouldn't cry. As soon as we're organized... Well, it's pretty he has to be fed on the bottle. I haven't heard the baby complainers yet. John never saw a bottle till he was six months old. I won't say anything. I won't say anything. I won't say anything. What's that, my dear? What do you think? It's a prize for more granite, of course. But it's a summons. No, it's a bank book. Look. He's deposited $10. Hey, that's a lot of money for the little guy. I hope it doesn't plunge Judge Doolittle into bankruptcy. I don't know. After that hospital, Billy's got more cash in the bank than I have. Well, I think it was very considerate of Judge Doolittle to think about the baby's future. Well, isn't the future that worries me? It's the present. Where are we going to put him? Well, why can't he stay in our room?  My dear, you should have taken that into consideration before you rented this apartment. I know I should have. Now, my own room went so small. No, no, dear. I wouldn't think of it. Well, look, darling, why can't we keep him in our room in the daytime and in the living room at night? Well, it's too far away from the bedroom. Well, how about the dining room? It's too near the kitchen. But I guess it'll have to do. Mrs. Yes, Hilda? Could I see you for a minute, please? What is it, Hilda?  But she didn't tell me why you was away. You mean you don't approve of my having a baby? Oh, yeah, that's your business. You can have as many babies as you like. Thank you. That's big of you. But my business is cooking. You can get somebody else to wash the diapers. Well, John, I just don't worry about it. I wish I could go back to the hospital. Right after this leases up, I'm going to get you a house in the country. You're going to have a room all by yourself. You're going to have a garden where you can ride around on your bicycle. And I'm... Hey, mother. Mother, come here. Jane, look. He's smiling at me. He's smiling at me. That's gas. Same old crowd, ten years old. Who spoke, Johnny? Well, Ed O'Malley, he made quite a speech. Just bought a seat on the stock exchange. Joe Kendall, he just came back from opening a London office. Did you make a speech? Yeah. What did you say? Well, you know, just... kind of things. You don't have to talk about a reunion too much. Oh, what did you say, honey? My speech was pretty short. What did I have to say? And most likely to succeed. Oh, you still are. I bet your speech was swell.  Didn't think of it. All I could think of is my achievement. What I've accomplished, how far I've gone. I suppose I could have told them that I used your money, all of it, to buy furniture for this apartment. Well, that's your money, my money. What difference does it make? It wasn't very much anyway. I know, maybe I could have told them that the baby has to sleep in the dining room. Well, whatever, it's only temporary till we get another apartment. Yeah, just because I can't afford to get you a decent... Stop that! Don't say those things! I get so mad at you, I can't see straight. If I get so mad at myself, I can't see at all. I know what happened. Your dinner disagreed with you. What did you have? I don't know the need of it. No, I know what's wrong. You're hungry. Come on, honey, I'll get you something out of the ice box. Now, let's see this.  It's right in the face, which? Chicken.  You do all the work down in that office. Coffee? I don't know. Got more about law than Carter will ever know. How do you expect people to recognize your value? Why do I? Why? Unless you recognize it yourself. I couldn't get along with that you for a minute, and you know it. Everybody else knows it. Everybody but Dula. He does too, and he takes advantage of you.  Walk right out on it. How could I do that? What about...  I wish you'd forget about us. Well, if I lost my job... But you wouldn't. They wouldn't let you go. You're far too valuable. If you left, Dula would crawl on his hands and knees and beg you to come back. Hands and knees? Oh, no, you don't know Dula. Well, I know you.  Stand right up to do little. Don't ask for your rights to man them. Darling, you... Remember when I bought you that ring in Boston? I promised you I'd get you a better one later. Well, I don't want a better one later. Said you liked the platinum one with the diamonds. Well, that can wait. You know, I suppose the mink coat can wait too, huh? Well... About 400 years I can afford to buy you one. What are you, a man or a mouse? A mouse. John Mason, you know what's the matter with you? You're too modest. You don't appreciate yourself. Well, I do want the platinum ring, and I want a fur coat. Not the mink one, but a fur coat. And I want a honeymoon on the Normandy, and I want an apartment big enough for your mother and the baby, so the baby won't have to sleep in the dining room. But you can get that for me. You can get everything I want, everything that's coming to me. But first, you've got to get what's coming to you. Well, I just knew how to go about it. It's easy. Well, you think it's easy. You just walk right into the office and you say... No, Jane, you... you don't walk in to Dula's office. He sends for you. Well, this time you're going to walk in. Go right up to him and you say, Judge Doolittle, there's something I've got to say to you right now. No, you can't talk to him like that, though. Have you ever tried? No, Jane, you don't understand. If I barged in there like that, and he'd... He'd say, What is it, Mason? Sit down.   Speak your peace. Well, I just... Well, no, that... you speak your peace. It's easy to do here in the kitchen. You get downtown. Well, downtown or uptown, what difference does it make? You're not asking a favor of him.  He'll listen. Make him listen. All right, okay. All right. Well, what do I say? You'll say, Judge Doolittle, I've been working for you for five years now, and I've given you everything that's in me, every ounce. All right, what did he say? There's no doubt about it, Mason. I never questioned your ability or your loyalty. Uh-huh. What did I say? Judge Doolittle, what are you going to do about it? I hate to think what he'll say. He'll say, what do you expect me to do? And you'll say, Judge Doolittle, the right thing. I want more money, and I want to be taken into the firm. And he'll say... Yeah, he'll say, he'll say plenty. No matter what he'll say, you'll say, Judge Doolittle, I either get a raise and a junior partnership or else. Or else you can accept my resignation effectively and immediately. Effectively and immediately. It's all right, Jane. Good idea. I'm going to do that some of these days. Some of these days is tomorrow. Tomorrow? Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Well, if you think I should. Well, darling, there's no time like the present. Well, come on now. Let's start from the beginning. I walk into the office and I say... Judge Doolittle, there's something I've got to say to you right now. Yeah, yeah. Judge Doolittle, there's something I've got to say to you right now.  Yeah, either I get a raise and a junior partnership. Or you can accept my resignation. Or you can accept my resignation effective immediately. Effective immediately. You're right now.  Raise and a junior partnership. Or else, Judge Doolittle is in. Okay. Or else, you can accept my resignation effective immediately. What is it? A jury case? Never mind. I'm thanking. Here are the papers in City Against Consolidated. I want you to drive over to Consolidated and see their accountants. Okay. Just got in. Okay. Doolittle, there's something I want to say to you right now. There's... Judge Doolittle, I've been working in this office. Oh. Oh, it's you. Just the one I want to see. Sit down. Thank you, sir. Mason. Yes, sir. You've been doing pretty good work lately. Well, thank you, Judge. Capable, dependable, and loyal right from the first. Well, that's mighty nice of you, Judge. But Mason, these are extraordinary times. For all of us. Some of our biggest clients are affected. They all complain that they're practically working for the government. Most of them claim that it'll be all they can do to stay in business till the next election. So they're cutting expenses right and left. We're the first to feel it. Naturally, we must do something about it. Naturally. What? Naturally. Hmm. I don't want to cut down the personnel of my staff if I can possibly help it. It wouldn't be constructive. So the only way out, as I see it, is to tighten our belts. I'm asking everyone to take a 25% cut. I'm taking a substantial cut in my own personal drawing account. It's a sacrifice. But it hits all of us. And these are days of sacrifice. Judge, I know, but I... These times, we must all put our shoulder to the wheel if we are to survive. Oh, yes, sir. The shoulder to the wheel. The only thing is, Judge... I'm glad you understand, Mason. And I appreciate your cooperation. Thank you, sir. Excuse me, Mason. Yes, sir. Hello, Commissioner. How are you?  Yes, well, if the price is right... Did you want some, Mr. Mason? No, thank you, Willie. Well? Morning, Johnny. I feel fine. What time is it? 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 5 o'clock, high noon. It's 2 o'clock, isn't it? Well, if you know what time it is, why did you ask me what time it is? What difference does it make what time it is anyway? I feel fine. Feel better now? Feel fine. Are you comfortable? Quickly comfortable. Are you sure you're comfortable? Well, certainly I'm sure I'm comfortable. Don't you think you'd be more comfortable if you took your shoes off? Can I help you? I can do very nicely by myself, thank you. I feel fine. What time is it? Am I comfortable? How do I feel? You'd think I'd committed some kind of a crime or something. You'd think I was on the witness stand. I can do that. A man comes home looking for a little peace and quiet and what happens? Blah, blah, blah. Why didn't you call me back? Why didn't you come home for dinner? A million questions just because a man... I ran into Judge Doolittle this afternoon after you saw him.  What difference does it make whether you get a raise or a partnership or anything? Oh, Jane, I'll let you down. I'll always let you down. No good, Jane. Johnny, don't just say that it was my fault for it. It varied. I made you do it and I'm terribly sorry. I'll never do it again, never. We don't need anything. We have each other as a baby. Our beautiful baby.   Johnny, Johnny, look at me and tell me you don't feel bad. Oh, I don't feel bad, Jane. I don't feel bad. Honest, I don't. I feel fine.  You're going to get a good lawyer. I've got a good lawyer. Is your tire tough? I've been all over town and my head's splitting. Well, lean back and let Lily rub the back of your neck. Been around visiting Miss Mason? There's Mr. Mason, no use looking for a job. Who said I was looking for a job? Lily, it isn't nice to go prying into people's affairs. Excuse me, Miss Mason. You must be the 15th woman I've had working for me since I've been married. You're too good to be true with your weight and gold. That's a lot of gold. The best woman I ever had in my house, just simply perfect. That's why it breaks my heart to have to tell you I... Oh, never, your mind, honey. I know. I'm a luxury. Oh, I'd never let you go, never if I... Oh, shucks, honey. You ain't getting rid of me.  Is the head better? Much better. Don't make an awful mess of things without you. Oh, no, you won't. You'll step right in and do the job. It's a pretty good job, too. A whole lot better than you can get on the outside, taking care of a nice young man and a sweet little baby and an old lady that's a little panicky, but that's because she's getting along and don't have nothing to do. I wish you were as simple as that. Lily's a whole lot older than you are, honey, and she's done a lot of living. She learned one thing. Never let the seeds stop you from enjoying the watermelon. It's all right if you've got a watermelon. You mustn't say that, Miss Mason. You've got your watermelon.  I always say, spit them out. Spit them out before they spoil the taste for the melon. Spit them out. Bless you. Are you sure Carter has our telephone number? He certainly has a telephone book. Then why do you suppose he hasn't at least called up? Maybe he forgot all about it. Mother, a man doesn't invite you to a New Year's Eve party and then just forget about it. Maybe we should go join him at the party. Jane, I told you, I don't know where the party is. He told me he'd meet us here in his car at nine o'clock. Well, it's almost eleven now. Isn't this party also to announce his engagement to Eunice Doolittle? Yeah, I don't know. Something like that. Well, perhaps he thought it would be a little awkward to have you and Jane at his engagement party. Mother, how could it be awkward? Awkward or not awkward? Are we going to sit here all evening waiting to hear from him? Let's call him up. Well, the same. It might be awkward. Why should it be awkward? Well... What's the matter with this connection? Operator, I'm calling... Hello? Mr. Carter's residence? What is Mr. Carter there? No, no, no, thank you. Well, they said Carter's house, he left two hours ago. A baby definitely has the sniffles. All babies have sniffles at this time of year. The car is cold from you, you know. That's simply ridiculous. As a matter of fact, I caught my cold from the baby. He's had the sniffles all day. And when I took his temperature... That's when he caught your cold. He certainly didn't. He had no temperature. It isn't anything, Johnny. It's just the sniffles. I suppose I ought to stay in my room all day. Now, Mother, that's silly. You don't have to do anything of the kind. Heaven knows I try to earn my room and board by doing everything I can to help. Oh, Mother, please, this is New Year's Eve. It's just like every other day, as far as I'm concerned, you were both perfectly willing to go off and leave me all alone to wait for the new year. But perhaps it's the last new year I'll ever see. Oh, now, Mother, why do you keep saying things like that? It's Carter. I want to leave this with you. Oh, Lily, this sweet old thing. Well, thanks a lot, Lily. Oh, it ain't nothing. Had a day off, cooked up some chicken, and when I worked it, give me the wine. We can stay right here and celebrate. We'll open the wine out at midnight. We'll have a grand feast on Lily's chicken. Yeah, yeah. Oh, come on, it's New Year's Eve. Let's have fun. You know it always gives me an interjection to eat just before I go to bed. Maybe there is some leftover for me tomorrow. I never did approve of Lily. She's much too forward. But I do miss her cooking. It doesn't say much for mine. Oh, well, my dear, you learn. It takes time, of course. I won't say. Time's a different now. When I was married, every well-brought-up girl knew something about cooking. Why, Jane, what is it? I can't cook. I can't keep house. I don't know how to bring up a baby. I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. Yes, you do. You resented me from the first moment you saw me. You resented me because you wanted Johnny to marry Eunice Doolittle. My dear, I never said anything like that. Well, you've hinted at it enough, though. I did nothing in the sort. But they were engaged. Mother, I was never engaged to Eunice Doolittle. Oh, well, not perhaps engaged. And even if I had been, you shouldn't keep talking about it to Jane all the time. I don't see why she should be so touchy about it. Touchy, that's why you hate me. Jane, will you please... No. Let her go on. She can say anything she likes. I know my place here. I am just a guest, an unwelcome guest. We're crying out loud. What's the matter with you two? There's nothing the matter with me. This is her house. No, Mother, will you... Jane... I do everything I can to help. I'll explain to you everything I say is wrong, and everything I do is wrong. Jane, will you... Just because I happen to mention the job, Eunice Doolittle. Now stop it, both of you. All right, there. You see what you made me say to Mother? Well, you said it to me, too, don't I come? Yes, of course you count, darling, but Mother's an old lady. She won't be with us very long. Now, why can't you get along with her? Why can't she get along with me because she hates me? You don't know how it is. You're down at the office all day between taking care of the baby. Don't you want me to go with you? Would you understand a man wants to be alone every once in a while? I'm sorry, Johnny, really, I am. Jane, you don't have to apologize. Wouldn't you rather I didn't come with you? It's all right, Johnny, I don't mind. You go ahead and have a good time. All right. Well, you can come along if you want to. You sure you don't mind? Of course I don't mind. Well, we'll have a wonderful time. You just wait and see. Well, Johnny, what's happened to us?  What do you mean? I think maybe the whole thing's been a mistake. What whole thing? Our marriage. Johnny. I've gotten into debt. I've gotten no place at the office. I've made a household grudge out of you, just like Mother said. Jane, it just hasn't worked out.  All people have to meet when they get married. Maybe we shouldn't have had the baby. Oh, Johnny, you can't be sorry about the baby. Oh, I'm crazy about him.  I'd die for either one of them. Jane, everybody that passes the table, they look at you because you're so beautiful and young. You've got your whole life ahead of you. Oh, ahead of us? No.  No, I'm not going to hold you to that kind of a contract. You want to know all about the contract? I suppose this is what you call starting now. You're right. At least we finally found something to celebrate. Well, who are you? Happy new year. You want to dance? Yeah. Why are you so sad? I feel fine. Come on in the storm. Alone and neglected. Happy new year. Johnny, come quick, the baby. The baby? Something's the matter with the baby. Sit down, my boy. Now, Doctor, if it's bad news, I don't want her to know about it. She just couldn't stand it. You can tell me, Doctor. Your baby has type 9 pneumococcus with a streptococcus complication. And I'm sorry to say that the congestion is increasing. Now, there's a serum, a new one. It's worked out in some cases. Without it, we don't stand a chance. With it, well, perhaps we have a ghost of a chance. We must get some of that serum as soon as possible. Every hour counts. I don't know whether we can locate any of it in the city or not. I'm going to check up on that right away. Doctor, please don't tell my wife. I won't. Give me the city health department. All the type 9 serum has been sent to Salt Lake. Why don't you try Johns Hopkins in Baltimore? Sorry. We shipped all we had for the epidemic in Salt Lake City. Yes, the epidemic's under control here in Salt Lake. We can spare you 620 cc vials. But how are you going to get it out of here in this storm? I got to see Judge Zula right away. But where's that this hour of the morning? Got to wake him up. Oh, I couldn't do that. You've got to. He knows me. I work for him. I've got to see him. I'm sorry, but Judge Doodle would never allow me to say that. Wait. You mustn't do that. Where are you going? You mustn't do this. It's outrageous. Judge, I'm sorry to wake you up. What is it? I've got to talk to you right now. Are you drunk? No, my kid. He's in the hospital. He's got pneumonia. You must be drunk. Waking me up in the middle of the night like this. It's outrageous. I've never heard of such a thing. Nathan, this is your idea. Put it on. I knew you. Now you listen to me. Now you listen to me. When you asked me to take that cop down to the office, I took it and I didn't beef about it. I shut up because that's the reason the baby has to sleep in the dining room. What are you talking about? My baby's in the hospital dying of pneumonia. What? Dying, dying.  Dying? Yes, yes, my baby. No, baby. Well, why didn't you get in touch with me before? I'm terribly sorry, baby. I don't need sympathy. I need serum. There isn't any in New York. There's none anywhere around here. I finally found some in Salt Lake City. And it's 2,000 miles away and every hour counts. Now become. Become. I can't become. I can't become until I get that serum. And the only way to get it here is to fly. Certainly fly. Well, there's terrific storms over Utah. All the planes are grounded. There's just one thing that we could do. Now, Mason, you must get hold of yourself. I know just how you feel, but you must get hold of yourself. Suppose the planes are all grounded. They could put it on one of the fastest trains, couldn't they? They can't. I told you, every hour counts, every minute counts. We need a plane from Salt Lake City, but we have a plane. Yeah. The pilot wants $5,000 to fly it to New York. Oh, I don't know, Judge. I just didn't have anybody else to turn to. Simon. Well, well, what are you standing there for? My checkbook. Get my checkbook. And get me a pen. Quick. One that's all right. This is one of the nearest telegraph offices. Oh, yes. You should have gotten in touch with me sooner. Now, don't you worry about that sitter. We'll have it here, and in plenty of time, too. Mr. Mason, the serum's here, and the money's here, too. And I could certainly use that kind of dough. But the weather's gotten so bad, it's impossible to take off. That's all. Well, what can I do? I know exactly how you feel. I'm a married man myself, and I've got a couple of kids. I've got to think of them. Don't let me. She says if I do go, she won't be here when I get back. If I get back? Well, what are you going to do with a guy like that? Let me talk to him. Now, listen, you, what do you think this is? A suicide club? You can't expect anybody in his right mind to fly a plane on a night like this, especially an old crate with whiskers. Why don't you... Oh, sure. That's tough. We'd certainly like to help you out. Ain't there no other place you could get some of the stuff? Well, maybe in a few hours when the weather clears up... Gee, the guy's crying. Now, wait a minute, buddy, take it easy. Suppose we... Well, maybe I... He just won't take no for an answer. Hold the wire. Jim, could I borrow your plane?  You know how it is. You've got kids of your own. Suppose you were in his place. Well, I can't let you take my plane. I haven't got any insurance. I couldn't get any. Hold it a minute. Keep your shirt on. I'll give you half the money if you loan me the crate. What if you crack up? You can keep the whole five. I won't need it. I think you're crazy, but all right if you want to. Okay, buddy. Relax. You'll never get off the ground with all that gas. Well, I did go down a little. I can't say I like that kind of dough. Looks to me like I'm going to be in five grand before morning. He's all right. He's holding his own nicely. May I go to the scene? I don't think you better. Not just now. Why, Doctor? Why don't you want me to see you? It's only the... Why don't you want me to... Oh. Now the oxygen's only to help him with the material. You can lie down and rest. I'll give you something to make you sleep. Would you do that to me? Oh, Doctor Healy, please don't make me. I couldn't. Please. When can I see him? In a little while. He dies.  I know, dear. I know, but you mustn't do that way. You mustn't let John know that you'll be that way. He loves the baby too, you know. Almost as much as he loves you. Well, Johnny, you'll be so lonely as the baby. He'll have you, Jake, and you'll have him. You can't be lonely either of you, as long as you have each other. Do you know when you're really lonely? When you have no one to share things with, not even a loss. Honey, you're lonely, aren't you? I wasn't always a bitter old woman. I wasn't always a pest in a nuisance, Doctor. Then I had someone to share things with. And now the baby. Oh, my baby's baby. When commercial NC 24, come in Conway. Come in. Can't you read me, Conway? Can't you read me? Come in, Conway. The Calling Newark, do you read me, Newark? Still can't contact Conway. Storm increasing over the Rockies. Denver. Send out an emergency to all stations. Stand by to contact Conway. North Platte, Nebraska, calling Conway. Commercial NC 24, do you read me? 24. This is Omaha. Do you hear me, Conway? Chicago calling commercial NC 24. Conway, can you read me? Can't you answer, Conway? Turn to plane all day. No, you're sending searching parties out in this blizzard. Mr. Johnny and me, dear, dear God, please. Do you want to see him grow up and be a man? Love himself. He's so small, helpless. He can't do anything for himself. He can't see but do anything for him. Hello, Tommy. Hello, Jane. He's alive. What is it? What's happened? Never mind that. What place is this? Liberty Corners. Where is that? 35 miles from New York? Our mercy sakes alive. St. Francis Hospital, New York City. Rush. Operator, I want the St. Francis Hospital, New York City, and reverse the charges. Enough on a business day. Well, that's all very good, Joe, but ain't it about time you bought one? What's that? Conway calling Doolittle. And there are certain things, gentlemen, that I want distinctly understood. Now, I called this meeting of all the partners in order to make my position clear once and for all. That before I accept your offer of partnership in the firm of Doolittle, Messerschmitt, Doolittle, Hutch, and Carter, you must know that I consider the methods of this firm at the present time, old-fashioned, self-satisfied, high-handed, and thoroughly inefficient. It seems to me that the... And that they be changed. Effective immediately. Excuse me. I hope we haven't interrupted anything important. Oh, Jane. Well, Johnny, I know just Doolittle won't mind. We just couldn't wait. We had to rush down the moment it happened. What happened? The baby can talk. No. Oh, they don't believe us. Come on, darling, let's prove it to them. Show them.  Say, Daddy. Say, Daddy. Come on, darling. Say, Daddy. Come on, say, Daddy. Speak up.  Say, Daddy. Say, Daddy. Dad, Dad, Daddy. Say, Daddy. Say, Daddy. Come on, Johnny. Say, Daddy. Say, Daddy. Mama. What?

dorca so dorca is actually a new addition because again um north one frosty teams particular have appeared in our pvp because of misty so dorca is at 36 percent and she is a new addition to pvp at number six you have their fc zion at 34 percent and he climbs a four spots up to number six from number 10 at number seven is misty which is at 30 30 percent and she is new fc shufraken at number eight 30 percent as well and new as well entry to pvp and at nine we have fc valentina 30 percent and also new to pvp i've told you guys there's a big shift with just one hero coming into the game which is a mythic which is misty and to round out more or less the top 11 because they have the same stats so fc redly at 22 percent he drops down to um 10 with a minus eight in the ranking so next and the last is fc garf at also 22 percent and he also drops um minus four in the ranking so again as you can see one again one hero new hero introduced can really make a difference in terms of top usage teams and pvp we have here i'm so sorry for july by the way guys the data that i have right now is for the asian server so don't confuse yourself of the global abdo to the global server so more or less this is for the asian server top team is going to be still um fc april fc rachel fc zion fc baraka and fc schmid so total usage out of the top 50 is 14 which they are dominating still next would be fc shufraken fc valentina dorca fc tantalo and misty at six so again as you have seen um there's a resurgence for north one frosty because of misty um number three on our list would be fc rachel fc april fc baraka fc rara which was swapped out for fc zion then you have their fc schmid with three usage the other teams um actually um the rest of the teams down below um have uh misty on them so the first would be fc schufraken fc valentina dorca leppin and leppin is actually a welcome site to pvp as well and misty next would be fc schufraken fc valentina dorca neyomi is also a good addition to pvp and misty is also there next would be fc garf fc redley fc maggi fc jenai and misty as well again misty is all over the place and let's round out um the top teams in pvp so we have here another batch which is fc april fc rachel fc zion fc baraka and fc morris at two and fc garf fc redley fc jenai fc shell and fc adams to round out the top teams in pvp so as i've been saying guys mostly um a big change in terms of the pvp dynamic let's take a look at the nation usage rankings so in terms of nation um there has been a big shift so as you can see here a storage republic sad to say is no longer in the top usage in terms of the rankings because again um north one frosty came up and probably shifted the usage to that nation instead of the stories so again you have their um linombe uh dominating usage of fc april fc rachel fc zion fc baraka next would be north one frosty so uh fc shufracken is back fc valentina is back new would be your um misty and fc lepen which is actually a very welcome site in terms of pvp we just need to overthrow linombe um i don't know if it's going to happen soon but again the dominance of linombe is still in effect next would be your wasted red which is my nation of course wasted red with fc garf fc redley and fc maggy sorry that's fc maggy not maggy so again there's still a mainstay in pvp but they are actually a dropped um two number three in terms of usage for nation next would be vagabond of course because fc schmid although in terms of um nation she is at fourth but he he actually leads vagabond only him leads um the top heroes in usage and to round out the nation usage ranking you have here run dorka has seen a resurgence actually in terms of usage and also a wonderful site is also fc neomy so more or less guys um we have seen a big difference in terms of pvp especially if um the lower ranked nations have um a reinforcement especially for misty so again um i'm not sure who is the next mythic hero that they're going to put out i'm still salty by the way because i haven't gotten my misty yet but i'm still trying to get her but more or less i'm happy that there's a shake up in terms of nation ranking in terms of pvp teams because again we need these um other nations that aren't performing to perform and to be back in the top of pvp they just have to more or less give a source of public um i don't know what they need they really they badly need a healer they badly need survivability in terms of offense stories is actually good but in terms of surviving survivability they really lack a lot in that department so again hopefully in the future they're the next to get their mythic unit or their mythic hero so that more or less stories can also try to go you know in between the pack or probably the throne the number just that is just wishful thinking on my part so anyway guys for those of you who have stocked this long in this video please consider subscribing also don't forget to click the bell
