Family Theater presents Bing Crosby from Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents Wally and now here is your host, Bing Crosby. Thank you Tony LaFrono. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention to practice this must become an important part of our lives if we're to win peace for ourselves and peace for our families and peace for the world. Family Theater is for you to pray and pray together as a family. And now to our transcribed drama Wally featuring Alan Reed as Radcliffe. Mr. Radcliffe's office?  Oh that's fine. Well I know he wishes you all the luck in the world and that goes for the rest of us too. I'll tell him you called. Fine. We'll expect you tonight then. Goodbye Mr. Hughes. Well who is that, our ex slave driver? Yes he can't seem to get used to the idea that he's still not working here. How does he like being a vice president? Well I guess he'll bear up under it. Yeah, say Jeanette, I don't expect you to tell me any tales out of school you know but it's been almost two weeks now since Hughes left. I wondered if your father has decided yet on who's going to replace him as sales manager. Oh Wally, I wouldn't worry about it. I think you're in the bag. I sure hope you're right. Well Bill says there's just no question of anyone else getting the job. Well it sure can't hurt to have the boss's prospective son-in-law plugging for you. We're all plugging for you. I sure appreciate it Jeanette. The raise will come in mighty handy. How's your wife? Most beautiful girl in the world. I just hope Bill keeps talking like that about me after we're married. Yes dad? Now bring in your book honey, I've got a few letters. Right away. Hey, if you get a chance to drop a little broad hint. Don't worry, I'll drop a dozen. Mrs. Francis, killing me. Stiff upper lip Wally. Say, do you know of the confirmation letter on that renewal from James Town Plaster's communion? Oh, not that I know of. It might have been sent to Sykes, you better check with him. All right. Let's see, nice. Post this bulletin as soon as you get it typed after you got your book here. I'm already. Our regular Wednesday get-together of Radcliffe printing families will be postponed this week only until tomorrow evening due to special preparations which must be made. The party isn't tonight? I couldn't manage it. Oh, I'd better call Mr. Hughes right back. I told him we'd be expecting him. Oh yes, do that, wouldn't you get him in a minute? No, no, where was I? We'll be postponed this week only until tomorrow evening due to special preparations which must be made. Which must be made to honor this special occasion, the naming of our new sales manager. Well, congratulations. You finally went and did it. That's why I want to be sure Joe Hughes will be there. You know, have the old sales manager rush her in the new, make kind of a ceremony out of it. Oh, if you only knew what a relief this will be to Wally. Wally? He's been walking around like a man in a trance for the past two weeks. We've all been telling him he didn't have a thing to worry about, but he was the only logical choice. Honey, I'm not giving Wally Conrad the job. Damn. He's simply not the man for it. Well, he's your top salesman month after month. He's not management caliber. His attitude is wrong. Well, you're not going to bring in some stuffed shirt from outside. Why don't you hang on to your temper until I finish? With a big baritone voice in an impressive manner? Man, I've chosen for the job as a member of our organization right now. Well, if it isn't Wally, I don't... It's still a choice I don't think you'll quarrel with. I'm making Bill the new sales manager. Bill? I thought that'd quiet you down. And you wait and see, Bill's going to be a crackerjack. He's intelligent. He's got the right company attitude. And just incidentally, this promotion might make it possible for you two kids to get married a little sooner. But that last consideration is as incidental as you say. Oh, now cool down. Bill's already proposed to me. He doesn't need to be pushed. I'd like to remind you, young lady, that although I can't pick my son-in-laws, I do have something to say about my sales managers. I chose Bill for this job because he's got the stuff and for that reason alone. Have... have you told him about it yet? Mm-hmm. About half an hour ago when he phoned in from American break. You put him through to me. Yes, but I didn't talk to him afterwards. Well, he said he was on his way back here. I guess I should have let him break the news to you. What did he think of the idea? Oh, quite a surprise to him, of course. He'd only been with the firm four years, actually. I think he was a little stunned. You wait, though. He'll take hold. Dad, did he say he'd take the job? Take it? Well, of course he'll take it. How often does an opportunity... But did he say he would? Well, I told you he was a little bowled over by the whole thing, but... come in. Mr. Ratcliffe. Bill, come on in. We were just talking about you. Hello, honey. Jeanette. Dad was just telling me the big news. That's what I came in to talk about, sir. Bill, I know it's a big responsibility, but you can handle it. Well, Mr. Ratcliffe, I've been thinking it over pretty hard for the last half hour. All the time I was driving back here. Jeanette, I hope I can make you understand this. I think I understand perfectly, dear. Understand what? What are we talking about? Sir, I can't take the job as sales manager. Do you know what you're saying? I don't deserve it. Will you let me be the judge of what you deserve? No, sir, I can't do that. Bill, I love you very much. Well, I don't love him very much. Mr. Ratcliffe. Son, this is my company. It's got my name on the door, Ratcliffe printing, and I will be the one to decide who gets promoted around here. It's not that simple, sir. Don't you think you can handle the job? I didn't say that. You think it's too big for you? No, sir, but... You've got some sentimental compunction about Wally Conrad. Is that it? I wouldn't call it sentimental. Not in the name of common sense. Dad, you've asked Bill four different questions, and you haven't let him answer a single one of them. Give him a break, will you? A break? I'm trying to give him a job that pays ten thousand a year plus bonuses. I know that, sir, and I'm proud and honored that you have so much faith in me. You're proud and honored by foot. But it wouldn't work. Yes, I think I could handle the job and I'm not afraid of it. But I'm not the best man you could get, and if I took the job, everybody on the sales force, everybody in the company would be convinced that you gave it to me over Wally because I'm gonna marry your daughter. Well, that's a lot of baloney. Okay, but I'd have to live with it. Don't misunderstand me, Mr. Radcliffe. I like working for this company, and someday I intend to run it to sit where you're sitting right now. But I don't want to get off on the wrong foot around here by having you promote me to sales manager over the head of a more deserving man. That's nice speech, Bill. Except for one thing. Wally Conrad, fine salesman though he is, is not the more deserving man. He's a lone wolf. He does not think in company terms. Dad, you're always saying that. I say it because it's true. Well, what exactly do you mean? Ten years ago, I brought in the best employee relations consultant that money could buy and told him to set up a program that would increase efficiency around here. The heart and soul of that program are the social activities we sponsor to bring the employees and their families together. Give them all a sense of being part of one big family, one big team. I know, I know.  Well, I don't deny that, Dad, but... I can take you down to the accounting department and show you the figures. Well, even so, what has this got to do with Wally? Have you ever once seen Wally Conrad or his wife at our Wednesday night get-togethers? Well... Or Friday night bowling. Well, I'm not sure. Or Monday night peenocker. You make that regularly. Bill, did you ever see him there? No, sir, but if he ever goes through those things, it doesn't seem fair to pass him over for promotion just for that. It's not just for that. That's what I'm trying to make clear. Wally's disinterest in the social activity sponsored by the company is only symptomatic of the fact that he is a loner and basically disinterested in the entire company structure. Boy, that's right, out of a consultant's handbook. You go ahead and jeer, but it proves out. Mr. Radcliffe, have you considered that there may be a very good reason why Wally doesn't come with these things? Yes, best reason in the world. He doesn't want to. Dad, that's unfair. Give me a better reason. Well, maybe his wife isn't interested in that kind of socializing. No, I've never met her, but from all the bragging Wally does about his wife, I take her to be intelligent enough to want to advance her husband's career. Women are very astute about that sort of thing. They'd be present if these get-togethers were up to her. No, no, no, no. He just doesn't care about them. Well, there are quite a few people in the company who don't come to the get-togethers. Ah, yes, yes, but they aren't key executives and that's the big difference. In a family, it's the parents who set the example. In an army, it's the officers. In a team, it's the captain. Well, it is. Well, it seems to me that you're just riding Wally off without giving him a chance. Maybe he doesn't realize how much importance you attach to this kind of thing. Oh, he knows. How could he not know? Just the nature of the job. Salesmen are out of the office a better part of the day.  Let's face it, I'm engaged to the boss' daughter. You have no secrets from me. Listen, Bill, I make the decisions around here and I'm offering you the job as my sales manager. Now, for the final time, take it or leave it. I'll take it. Well, that's more like it. On condition that you offer the job to Wally first. I will. And tell him that you expect him to start taking part in the social activities of the company. Oh, that's nonsense. Of course, he'll promise to take part in them. All right, then tack a rider on to it. If he doesn't live up to the promise, he loses the job. Well, Dad, that's only fair. Then if you do, Bill, sales manager, at least Wally won't be able to say he wasn't given a chance. Looks like the in-laws are beginning to run the business even before they join the family. Well, you can see my position, Mr. Radcliffe. All right, all right, I'll try it. I'll try it. It's a terrible idea. Oh, Dad, I love you too. Well, don't, don't slobber on me. What time should I tell Wally you want to see him? Oh, at a conference with psychs, three, hadn't dropped in some time after 4.30. I'll tell him. I want to thank you for this, sir. Oh, not at all, not at all. I only hope I can continue to fulfill my duties here in a manner that you approve of. Dad. Yes, sir, I think you'll work out fine. So, Wally, that's the offer. I see, Mr. Radcliffe. I've tried to be perfectly honest with you and setting forth my doubts. And as I said, my speaking to you about this is something that Bill and Jeanette convinced me should be done. Now, I hope, my boy, you understand there's nothing personal in my attitude. Yes, of course. I've been very well satisfied working for you. I should tell you that nothing would please me more than if you were really to dig in and become part of the Radcliffe family, so to speak. I have no doubt about your ability, Wally. It's your attitude, your apparent unwillingness to belong that has made me hesitate. I certainly want the job. I want it more than I can tell you. Well, that's half the battle if you wanted to have worked on it. No, I'm not afraid of work. I think you must know that. Well, if you let me take a crack at the manager's ship, I'm sure that in a few months I can swing into the social activities. A few months? Well, sir, I mean, as soon as I've settled into the job... Wally, what is the problem on this thing? Is it that your wife doesn't want you to participate in the company's social program? No, no, no, no. She... I wouldn't want you to think Lois was like that. Well, then what is it? I've just told you that one of the conditions of the job that you participated in, now you tell me that you might be able to after a few months. Well, sir, I think I will. Oh, I can't just start now. Well, you see... Look, if you're trying to tell me that it's none of my business, you have a perfect right to. But the Radcliffe printing company is my business, and I think I have a right to expect my executives to conform to the policy of that company. Yes, sir. Of course you do, sir. Look, Wally, as a salesman, just one of the fours, you could be on your own. But as a sales manager, you have to set an example right from the start. Yes, I... I realize that, Mr. Radcliffe, and thank you for the offer anyway. Well, I don't get it at all. But didn't you offer any reason, Dad? Not so much as an excuse. Oh, Bill, take a left here. You can drop me off at the club. Well, I thought you were having dinner with us. No, I told Joe Durrana to play some billiards with him. You want us to pick you up on the way home? No thanks. I'm right home with Joe. Dad, we'd love to have you come along. No, no, no. You kids go ahead and have a good time. Here we are, Bill. I'm sorry, the idea about Wally didn't work out, sir. Yes, the way I am, too. Well, see you in the morning. You bet. Good night, Dad. Good night, honey. Have fun. There's a lonesome guy in me. Sometimes he seems so lonesome I could cry just looking at him. He must have loved your mother a lot. Yes, he did. You know, that's something that bothers me once in a while.  Well, I'm near all these guys. No. No, he's not like that. He knows people have to lead their own lives. I wonder. What do you mean? He doesn't seem to want to let Wally lead his. Oh, Bill. You know, I've heard your dad's side of this story. I'd like to know Wally's. Do you think we ever will? You got the whole night ahead of us. What do you say we drive back to the office and get Wally's address? What good's that going to do us? How can you pay a call in a minute if you don't know where he lives? How's the new job going? Great. Why am I answering my own phone? My highly paid secretary seems to be taking a long lunch. Say, I'm sorry about the last minute of cancellation yesterday. Did Jeanette get back to you all right? Good. You can't make it tonight, then. Wonderful. Huh? Well, I know Joe. As a matter of fact, I'm making Bill the new sales manager. Well, there's one consideration involved. It's, uh... I suppose I explain it to you tonight. Speaking of the devil, here she is with her boyfriend. I better get back to work. Fine, Joe. I'll pick up about six for dinner. You bet. Come on. Well, I'm glad to see you're still on payroll. Dad. And Mr. Radcliffe, there's something we want to talk to you about. It's about Wally. Oh, now look, we've been all through this. No, I'm afraid we haven't, sir. Not all through it. Bill, I'm running out of patience.  Well, where he spends them is no business of mine. At a laundromat. At a what? That's right. A laundromat. He's got another job? He's got a job beating around the bush. All right. Come on. What? We're going for a little ride. I've got a desk full of important work to get out. This is more important. No, Jeanette. No, believe us, Mr. Radcliffe. It's much more important. So stop arguing and put on your hat. That's Wally's house across the street, second building from the corner. His apartment's on the ground floor. Very interesting. Now that I've seen the sights, would you mind taking me back to the office?  We planned to drop in on Wally. Just to see if we could find out what's behind all this. Right about here. We saw Wally come out carrying a couple of laundry bags. His wife was waving to him from the front window. And so we didn't drop in after all. We thought we'd leave that to you. To me? That's right. I'm not going in there. Oh, yes you are. You just happened to be passing through the neighborhood and you realized you'd never had the opportunity of meeting Wally's wife so you thought you'd stop in and pay your respect. I'll do no such thing poking into a man's house. Believe me, Dad. You'll be doing Wally a favor. Permit me to be the judge of that. Mr. Radcliffe, you're enough of a judge of human nature to know that people don't do things without a good reason. I've seen that rule broken before. But not by men like Wally Conrad. Dad, please? Wait a minute. Tell me the truth. Do you know what I'm going to find in there? You got a fair idea. Oh, but it's just an idea. And it may not be the whole story at all. I have allowed myself to be talked into more nonsense during the last 24 hours. Dad, you're always saying you want the people you work with to feel like members of a big family. Well, when one of those people doesn't seem to want to be part of the family, don't you as head of it have an obligation to find out why? All right, all right. Second building from the corner? Ground floor. His name's on the bell. Conrad. Yes? Mrs. Conrad? Yes. My name is Radcliffe. Mr. Radcliffe of Radcliffe, Princey. Oh. Just a moment, please. Don't you come in. The door's unlocked. Thank you. I... Please come in, Mr. Radcliffe. I'm sorry about making you wait, but I always have to wheel away from the door first or people might walk right into me. All right. I see. If you came by to see Raleigh... Oh, no, no. I just happened to be passing through the neighborhood and I realized I'd never had the opportunity of meeting you, so I thought I'd stop by and pay my respects. Oh, that was very thoughtful of you.  Thank you. Can I help turn your chair around? Oh, no. Watch. See? All in one gesture. Very smooth. You just stop one wheel and turn the other forward. Would you like some coffee? Oh, no, no. Thank you, Mrs. Conrad.  I've never had a chance to meet any people Wally works with. Although he talks about you all so much, I feel we're very well acquainted. You know how business offices are. Well, I know. All business. I guess that's the way it has to be, but that seemed too bad. Oh, please sit down. Thank you. Well, how do you mean too bad, Mrs. Conrad?  Well, after all, it is your company. No, really, really. I'm interested. Well, it seems to me, especially in the firm as large as yours, that we'd have some sort of a social program. Social program? You know, for getting the employees together after working hours and their families, so they'd get to know one another. Have I said something wrong? No, no, no, Mrs. Conrad. I was just thinking. Well, I suppose you think I'm talking out of turn. No, I don't really, no. But there's one thing I wonder about if you don't mind my big frank. Yes? If I were to institute a program like that, considering your condition... Polio, you can say it. My right leg's coming back a little, but I'm afraid the left one's gone for good. That's what I mean. I imagine you're all alone most of the days it is. Wally weren't here in the evenings. You would probably never see it. Oh, not even as it is. I don't see too much of him. But in the evening he does his shopping. Can you knock on that? Pardon? Well, in some companies they have, you know, companies that have this social program. That's Pinnacle Night Monday. Oh, well then on Wednesdays and Fridays he does the heavy housework or takes the laundry, one or the other. That's usually bowling night, on Friday, or wherever they have it. Well, I guess you're right at that, Mr. Radcliffe. Wally probably wouldn't be able to fit much of it in the way things are. But even so, it seems to me a company as big as yours should have some kind of program. I must admit, I thought a lot about it. No, you won't tell Wally I spattered off like this, will you? Oh, of course not. I won't even tell him I was here if you don't want me to. Well, maybe that'd be even better. Well, I must tell him I guess I'd better be moving along. It's been a real pleasure meeting you at last. Mr. Radcliffe. Yes? I'd like to say something to you, frankly, if you'd let me. Of course, my dear.  Yes, that's when my wife died a little over ten years ago. And now there's just you and your daughter. And I understand she's going to be married to Bill Malone, I think. The man who's going to be your new sales manager. Did Wally tell you that? Yes, last night. He said Bill's a regular genius. He's a very talented and a very honorable young man. Well, I'm alone a lot. I'm sort of an expert on the subject, and I know what it can be like. Don't you think now that your daughter will be leaving you soon that it might be a good idea to start up a company program like this just for yourself, if nothing else? You know something? It might. It might have been. After all, when your real family's gone, you've got to have something for a substitute. Yes, I guess you do. I'm surprised you did start doing it ten years ago when your wife died. Well, I was pretty engrossed in the business. So you'd have something to leave for your daughter. Yes, that was the reason. But now you'll have a son-in-law who can carry on with the company? I'd say you ought to start thinking about yourself for a change. Mrs. Conrad, I'm grateful to you. It's very generous of you to concern yourself this much with me. But say, look, if after giving me this idea, you wouldn't be able to participate in the program yourself. Oh, you'd see plenty of me, at least in a few months. A few months? You know what the doctor says at the rate my right leg's coming back? I'll be able to go, oh, just about anywhere before long. Why, that's one. Even bowling alleys and places like that? Well, I'm crutches, of course, but there's nothing very tricky about getting into a bowling alley if you're just going to sit and watch. After all, Wally's the bowler in the family. Is he, is he good? Never under 220 until he gave it up. Oh, and you got sick. That's right, but if you started up a social program, I, well, I could just bully him into taking it up again. I'd tell him his job might depend upon it. Why, I wouldn't want you to think that that were ever the case. Oh, of course not, but sometimes you have to force people into relaxing. Wally's like that, takes on too much. It isn't good for him. If, if he were to take on a bigger job than the one he has now, with the company I'm in, would you be opposed to that? You mean a promotion? Yes, to sales manager. Well, I thought Mr. Malone... Yes, I know there was some talk about that in the office, but most of it came from just one person who obviously has a lot to learn. What? No, I wouldn't object, but Wally... Wally doesn't know anything about it yet, and I thought we might make a surprise out of it. Tonight. Oh, but... I was thinking that about 8.30 some of the people from the office could come by here. I'd be one of them, of course, and maybe on sort of a small scale, we could start this social idea you've got. Oh, but there's so much cleaning to do. Oh, I've got a couple of friends out in the car. Oh, now I know Mr. Ratcliffe. We could pitch in and tidy up a bit. Not too much, of course, or Wally might catch on. And then tonight, you just make sure that he doesn't go shopping or to the laundry or anything like that. And at 8.30, would we bring the front door down? This is Bing Crosby again. You know the greatness of America, and the future of our nation depends on all of us. America's destiny rests in the hands of every individual, regardless of race or creed, and in every town and city throughout the nation. During recent years, major crime has been on the upswing. At the end of the last war, age 17 led all the other age groups in arrest for serious crimes. More and more children, it seems, are being led towards crime as parents throw away responsibility. I think selfishness is too often the keynote of the day, and materialism the inspiration for living. God, in many instances, is not accepted in the home, and concepts of morality have been relegated to the junk heap, it seems. I wonder can a nation exist, void of all religious thought and action? Can we have internal peace without morality? Can we build homes without God, or have worthy parents who don't know and don't practice His teachings? The key to these problems is to life itself as God, as He is man's first need in His final goal. Our nation, it seems, to me is sadly in need of a rebirth of the simple life, a return to the days when God was a part of each household, and when families arose in the morning with a prayer on their lips, and they ended the day by gathering together to place themselves in His care. If there's a hope for the future of America, if there's to be peace and happiness in our homes, then we as a nation, we've just got to return to God into the practice of daily family prayer. Certainly the greatest thing we as individuals can do for ourselves, for our country would be to keep our families together in peace and in happiness. There's no better way of doing our part for home life in America than by re-establishing the daily practice of family prayer in our homes, because families that pray together stay together.

hey guys what's up it's Isaac and today's video as you read in the title is called stop looking for wife and start looking for a life um i don't know if somebody has said this before but i was just kind of like writing a little bit on my computer as i tend to do and for some reason this just popped into my head and i was just like okay i either need to one make a t-shirt and sell this or just make a video about it and you know that'd be fine too so you wonder how i come over with my video ideas literally in this case i had to either make a t-shirt or make a video so here's the video now for a little disclaimer i'm gonna explain what i mean by this but just initially don't be like how dare you how dare you even say i should look for a wife or a husband you know what i you know i'm not i'm not speaking into your situation necessarily i'm just simply gonna bring this um bring this idea forward to you and if it applies to your situation i encourage you to kind of you know take that in and be able to learn from that but if not if you're not in this kind of this doesn't relate to you totally cool all good so let's jump into it but first thank you so much to my patrons on patreon.com slash daily underscore disciple you guys are awesome thank you for supporting the work that i'm doing and if you want to help support these this ministry and the videos that i'm making and all the content the blog post throughout the week please head on over to patreon.com slash daily underscore disciple it'd be honestly a huge blessing if you can support what i'm doing that would be awesome anyway back to the video okay now to our video today i've been talking to quite a few guys that have questions online on instagram and stuff like that kind of asking look well when is god gonna bring the person that i'm supposed to marry like i'm kind of anxious about it i just kind of want to get in a relationship um you know i'm trying to find this person but they don't seem to be i don't seem to be able to find them or god doesn't seem to be bringing them to me and it's kind of frustrating and i'm kind of like getting impatient in a way so there's been a couple of these people i've been talking to and this is just a sentiment that i've just been hearing among guys and i can get into space too like hey god what's up where's the you know where's the person but what i think and what this kind of funny statement i think illustrates is this idea that look god's timing it doesn't illustrate all this obviously i'm extrapolating on this but god's timing is perfect okay and when we just get so consumed with one thing like i gotta find this person like i gotta find this you know girl or guy and i gotta just like it's gotta happen now and i need this to work and because i need you know whatever whatever it is i need a friend or i need this uh romantic relationship or i need to be able to post this on instagram so my friends can get jealous or whatever we're missing a piece and that piece is look you have all this time while you're single why don't you find a life before you find a wife why don't you and buy life i mean i'm not that's not a mean thing if you're sitting on your couch and you're just like i'm so bored i wish i had a girlfriend like let's start with okay let's get off your couch and let's do something that's serving some way that's find hobbies that's find you know things that bring joy and enjoyment and and help other people in your life like how can we figure this thing out and really make your life full of not only just like well my life's kind of empty right now i'm kind of alone i'm kind of sad oh i'll just bring a girlfriend in or or a boyfriend and then i'll be happy and then that'll be great why don't we actually look at finding a life find hobbies make friends find areas that you're gifted in and be able to serve other people through those things and just be able to work on different things and family relationships and all that kind of stuff and i think we can get in this space of tunnel vision especially maybe you're maybe you're 18 17 19 20 21 22 whatever it is and maybe you're not ready to really go into a relationship with somebody you're not ready for that next step of of possibly marriage right after that like if you're not ready for that and there might be big possibility then let's try to instead of focusing oh when this is gonna happen oh i can't wait and tell him relationship or if i were just in a relationship let's start broadening our horizons in a way and just say hey let's let me find a life before i find a wife i don't know if that makes sense to you guys i thought it was kind of a funny saying but actually it has some good truth to it um and i think it can kind of maybe reorient our perspective a little bit too yeah it's not just all about that one relationship because when you do get married as i've heard from many married people or people in relationships like yes that is your main thing that's the main thing you're focused on for for a long time and then you're kind of like okay well this is not that you're not paying attention to your relationship but you realize there's so many other things going on there's there's you know career there's you know service in areas there's church there's all these different areas of life where you become a more well-rounded person and you continue to grow in those areas it's not like you get married and you're like well i'm done i can die now like there's so much more living to do so why are we like cutting ourselves off in this beginning stage and not being able to actually find a life make friends you know be able to pursue different creative pursuits or whatever it is like that's an awesome time so that's what i want to encourage you guys towards stop looking for a i'm getting confused now stop looking for a wife and start looking for a life i don't know i'm gonna let me know do you want that on a t-shirt let me just kind of share another disclaimer here maybe you are at the stage where you have found a life and you're kind of at the next stage of kind of hey i want to get married and that's cool and that's awesome that you're there and that you're looking for that just be aware that look just because art we're ready just because it fits into our timing doesn't mean god's like oh okay you've done all the things that you wanted to accomplish or you wanted to do before you got married now i'm just going to slide in this person to give you to marry like god doesn't work that way even though we'd like him to but that's just going to continue to grow us and really develop in us a lot of character because when we are just getting everything we want when god's just like you know oh you want this well i guess you give you that it's like a parent giving to a child everything that they want that child is going to become spoiled and whining like it's kind of funny to think about that way but but it's true when god doesn't give us what we want we grow and we mature and we say okay look god i'm going to trust you that you know best that that your timing is perfect and that's going to mature so whatever stage you're at whether you're i i want to get married right now and i'm actually ready for it or i want to get you know in a relationship now and i'm not quite there i think this is something important to remember okay well let me know what you think of the comments down below this is kind of a funny video but i hope you got something out of it as well once again thanks so much to the patrons on patreon if you want to join them link in bio um get all sorts of exclusive content and um yeah leave me a comment down below as i said with some of your thoughts about this give this video a like if you enjoyed it and subscribe to youtube channel because we're putting out new videos all the time mondays and thursdays thanks so much for watching guys and i'll see you next time see ya hey guys what's up it's isek and today's video is called um as you read in the title stop uh i can't even remember what it's called


Labeling has been proposed as a solution to address the negative impacts of the current food system on both human and planetary health. However, this paper argues that labeling alone cannot achieve transformative change due to its limitations. Instead, it suggests that regulatory governance should be ecological by design, which includes a combination of measures such as reducing overall production and consumption of meat, increasing transparency, and providing incentives for more sustainable practices. This article was authored by Christine Parker, Rachel Carey, Fiona Haynes, and others.


So, welcome, everyone, to CrankyGeek, CrankyGeek WebRTC show. This is actually our fourth event, our third event here at Google. We've done one in India. In fact, actually, we're going to Saipalo in Brazil next week to do a similar event down there. So, if you haven't heard of us before, CrankyGeek, we're here to promote and help educate developers on WebRTC. So, just to introduce a few people, Sai Levante Levy runs BlogGeekMe. Myself, I run a blog, WebRTC Hacks for WebRTC developers and Chris Kronka in the back. You can just call him Cranky because his name is impossible to say. I do want to encourage you if you want to meet anyone or need help or have any questions, feel free to find any one of us. So, this event's a little bit unique, a little bit different than some of our other events. No surprise here, mobile is big, right? And it's obvious that there's an intersection of WebRTC and mobile. So, we've decided to actually focus this event very specifically on mobile. So, we're going to go a lot deeper and be very specific about all aspects of mobile development today. And we have a number of top-notch speakers from actual practitioners, real developers who've done this stuff and can share their experience. So, we'll be spending a lot of time going through that. And I'd really like to thank our sponsors, especially Google, who gives us this great facility and has been a big promoter in general for WebRTC in bringing this open-source project and developing it into a standard and sharing it with the world. In addition, we are very thankful to our sponsors, Talkbox, Twilio, and Vidyo. And you'll see some more presentations from them today. And as always, the SFHTML5 group has been great in helping bring you mostly here. I encourage you all to join that meetup group if you're not already. And lastly, thank you all for your donations to Girl Development. We'll be talking a little bit more about that great organization later on today.


All of this is governed by these mathematical rules, which are very much like what you would experience if we were actually inside of a video game. First self-aware entities appeared, that's in a sense a universe waking up and becoming aware of itself, right, is actually an opportunity. If we can figure out what's going on with black holes and maybe even get some clues by looking at them, then that can actually maybe be the master key that can help us unlock some of the deepest mysteries of quantum gravity and get a unified theory of physics. The snap decision, you know, should we ask this person on a date or not, where it might come down to just whether one neuron fired or not in the beginning, triggering a whole cascade of events that could end up with you living in this city, you know, being married to this person with children or living somewhere completely different, doing something different. I'm quite optimistic that we can create a really inspiring future with technology, but that's going to require winning what I call the wisdom race, the race between the growing power of the technology, exponentially growing power of the technology, with the wisdom with which we manage this tech. But there's a catch here because technology is getting exponentially more and more powerful, right? And at some point it crosses the threshold of power where learning from mistakes actually goes from being a good strategy to being a really, really bad strategy. And I feel we've already crossed that threshold with nuclear weapons, and we've earned the verge of crossing the threshold with synthetic biology, which can be used fantastically to improve our health or to create engineered pandemics. And we're totally going to cross that threshold with artificial intelligence if we succeed in building artificial general intelligence that can outsmart us, you know, in all ways. It's not difficult at all to make the world much, much better. It's just that we have our monkey brains and most political leaders are very clueless about technology.


The Tennessee Titans are working with Pinnacle Financial Partners and the Nashville Entrepreneur Center to celebrate small businesses and also create unique opportunities for local entrepreneurs through the Pitch for Good Tennessee Tough. This contest is to award a local entrepreneur with a grand prize of being a Titans sponsor next year in 2021. The Pitch for Good Tennessee Tough is being held in seven rounds and five of those are complete. We'd like to introduce the winner of round five for music and entertainment, Tim Burkhead. He created the TM app which provides on-the-road support, live event consultation and tour coordination services for live music professionals of all budgets and experience levels through a proprietary web-based live event management software. Tim, thanks for joining us. Thank you, Mike. I appreciate it. Also joining us from the Nashville Entrepreneur Center is Bren Plummer, Vice President, Inclusion and Community Relations at the Nashville Entrepreneur Center. She hosts the virtual events and is a key contributor to this series. Bren, welcome. Thank you. I'm grateful to be here. All right, let's talk about the idea behind creating the Pitch for Good series. Bren, take it away and explain it to us. At the Nashville Entrepreneur Center, we're on a mission to make Nashville the best place in America to start, grow or scale a business and part of that is shining a light on the entrepreneurs who are making our community better, stronger, more innovative. The idea was let's really elevate Pitch for Making the Best of what is a really, really dark time and we're really thrilled to be partnering with the Tennessee Titans on this because it's a part of Nashville. It's a part of Tennessee. Explain the different competitions that have taken place and the two that are still to happen. We have had, gosh, pandemic edition, black founders edition, women founders edition, music and technology edition and entertainment, data and analytics and artificial intelligence and now we have two remaining. We have both the one that's coming up next week, which is on healthcare technology. The one that's coming after that is what we're calling Tennessee Tough. So we're highlighting ventures across the state of Tennessee that are making the most again out of this moment and also innovating in ways that might be novel or surprising. And what I love about Pitch for Good is that it is open to everyone in Tennessee. So we have had winners from here in Nashville, Chattanooga, Cookville, Memphis. We've had winners from all across the state. As many ideas or problems that you can think of in the world, we've probably seen a solution for it. We've had to date about 400 submissions for the competition. Tim, talk about what the TM app is and tell us how you came up with it. The app came out of a need for us to have a solution to what we do. As a tour manager, we were looking for a way to optimize the number of shows we could do. We started a service that's called TM Inc. is the big company.  We got to COVID and we realized that our service side was working however it wasn't totally scalable. But there were other opportunities for other companies who are also doing a service side like we were. However, we had a piece of technology that we were using to keep real-time track of how a show is progressing from the time that the offer sent out to all the way through the very end of the advance between a tour and a venue in real-time from a dashboard. With COVID, we found the opportunity to take what we were using to make our process better, develop it with the downtime with people in the industry who are not busy right now, but still have the expertise. And we're going to relaunch it into a situation where everyone can start at the same starting line with the same tools if need be. What jumped out about Tim's TM app? What I like about Tim's application is that it's something that when implemented is going to help the industry get right back to work as quickly as possible. And that gives me excitement. Why did you decide to submit the TM app idea to the Pitch for Good contest? You want to leave some mark, but you don't want to just leave a mark. You want to do something better. So I want to put myself in these positions to have to answer these questions. What are you doing that's good for your industry and your company and for the world? And I want to start that now because I don't want to build something that I'm going to have to go back and redo. What's coming up over the next two months as the Pitch for Good Tennessee Tough continues from Pinnacle Financial, the Tennessee Titans, and the Nashville Entrepreneurs Center. We're anticipating a lot of things that are very current and thinking about this moment, but also similar to Tim's app, something that's forward-casting, future-casting. Entrepreneurs are so good at casting a vision for how the world should be. So I'm anticipating a lot more ideas that are looking forward into the future post-COVID. What do we want to be true for Tennesseans as we look beyond this COVID-19 moment that we're in and really making the best of this life and of this beautiful place that we get to all home? Special collaboration between the Tennessee Titans, the Nashville Entrepreneurs Center, and Pinnacle Financial Partners, the Pitch for Good Tennessee Tough continues. Tim, Bran, thanks so much for your time. We appreciate it.


Every time you walk out that safe room door, you begin a run. There's no way back after that. So before you step out that door, here's what you need to know. If you're the party leader, there's a set of crucial decisions to be made before the run even begins. Each unique run is high stakes.  Don't be discouraged. Failure is not the end. Unlock cards, edit your deck, and then get back into it. Run out of continues, just create a new run from your last starting point. A starting point is unlocked by reaching certain designated safe rooms. Looking for a bigger fight, increase the difficulty of your run. Each difficulty presents its own unique challenges and obstacles.  The higher the difficulty, the more you and your team will need to work together to survive. But with greater risk comes greater reward. Succeeding in harder runs will earn you more supply points to spend on unlocks. Remember, you're not in this alone, so be sure to invite your friends on your campaign runs. Need some R&R? Leave the game while in a safe room with no penalty and finish your run later. Are you up for the challenge of a nightmare run? Take your friends with you and don't stop slaying until you've reached the end of the road. Now do your job and get to cleaning up those streets.


The Durham County Manager's Office. This afternoon, we are holding this press conference to bring our residents and those who are interested in what's happening in the Durham community up to speed on what we're doing to prepare for the campaign implement whether, if you could, part of the influence to impact our area. Our main speaker today is our Emergency Management Director of Fire Marshall, Jim Rose. Also a part of those who are featured today and available in support of Jim Rose are our Deputy Chief Manager, Bill Ferguson, Interim Fire Chief, Chris Iuzzi, Deputy Police Chief, Anthony Marsh, also County Manager, Mindell Davis, Sheriff Michael Andrews, Interim Emergency Medical Services Director, as well as representatives from Durham Public Schools. At this time, I will turn it over to Jim Rose, our Emergency Manager Director and Fire Marshall. Thank you, Dawn. Again, my name is Jim Rose. I am the City and County Emergency Management Director for Durham and Durham County. I'd like to give everyone just a quick update on what we're at without preparedness activities and also our coordination efforts with both government entities and also paid-pays and private sector organizations. Thank you all for being here and helping us share our community's message and our preparedness efforts. We really appreciate that and the efforts to get this done. Earlier today, the City and County signed a Declaration of Emergency specifically for each entity. Chair Jacobs signed the County's Declaration and Mayor Schill signed the Seals Declaration of Emergency. Just to let you know on the County side, the Declaration of Emergency kind of sets us up in our first step for one and two different emergency operations claim or how we go about an emergency response for disasters. It also supports requests to the state and to the federal government for resource assistance. In addition, it also relaxes regulatory requirements for public and care entities so that you can take care of your people. If there's a restaurant, if there's a licensed facility, if there's a homeless shelter, it kind of relaxes their requirements so they can take care of their people. So the Declaration does that. In addition, it kind of sets us up to receive federal disaster recovery assistance. So the funds that we spend on personnel, equipment, or supplies can be recruited and the Declaration of Emergency is the first piece of that as well. Our coordination efforts have been going months of Sunday. We follow a time delay in the schedule, 120 hours out of the notice event, and we follow that down to zero hours when the hazard arrives. We have been conducting conference calls with our stakeholders in both company organizations with the public sector, schools, courts, to make sure that we're responding as we need to be, that we have a coordinated and a singular response and we're speaking with one of us. Our coordination calls have been with our shelter teams. It has been with our joint information team, state emergency management, and the National Brethren Service, and that has included all of our public safety agencies, public health social services, schools, courts, public works, public information, transportation, communication, utilities, and other codes. So we are really trying to foster a whole community approach to this disaster coming upon us. We've identified flood prone locations, locations that have flooded in the past that we've had to get people out of apartments or homes, where their cars have been damaged or we've had to close roads. We've implemented, we've actually uploaded that, those polygons or shape bonds into our regular notification system, and starting tomorrow and Thursday we'll be seeing those messages out to those areas so people know that they need to leave and to make sure their vehicles are clear so they're not impacted. By this 10 to 12 inches of rain that we predicted to receive. We've identified the following evacuation shelters. The pre-event, Bahamut, Ruiton will open at 12 o'clock tomorrow and this is a change we already discussed earlier. Hillside will open Wednesday at 6 p.m. So Bahamut, Ruiton for pre-arrival and Hillside for pre-arrival. Bahamut at 12 o'clock tomorrow. Hillside will open tomorrow at 6 p.m. If you come to the shelter, this is mainly for folks that you don't feel safe in a home. Maybe a trailer, maybe it's a rough construction, maybe you fled before and you know that it's going to be an issue. So these shelters are really just to get folks out of the hazard and give them a safe place to stay while the hazard of the hurricane that kind of goes over us.  Bring your caregiver for individuals who might have access or functional needs. Those are very simple things that we're asking if you come to our shelters right now. We'll be giving more information shortly about that. We want to remind folks, please do not call 911 for general information. They are going to be inundated with emergency calls. So please, if you want to call for information, if it's about the utility, call the utility outage number. Duke Energy is 1-800-POWER-ON. Piedmont is 1-800-449-2667 or 1-800-222-3107. For any other questions, we can ask you to call the Durham One Call Center at 560-1200 or the County's Health Line at 560-HELP. They'll have the same information. They'll be able to provide that information to you if they can't. They'll contact us at the Emergency Operations Center and we'll get an answer out. It's important for you folks to know too that once the WINS approach and achieve 40 miles an hour of sustained or 58 miles an hour of gusts or greater, our emergency responders may not be responding. When we call that our service level criteria, that's a level three criteria, and that is designed not to put them in harm's way. So understand that. When we say pre-deploy to a shelter, take care of these activities early. We're sincere about that because we don't want our responders in harm's way. So lastly, maybe the most important thing that I can share with you right now, please be accountable for your own safety. The safety of your family, the safety of your relatives, the safety of your pets. Please don't depend on us for your safety. We will come running, but it's really up to you to be accountable for your own safety. So please, please, please understand this with responders, depending on how many trees are down the roadways and the utility down. If they're flooded, may not be able to get out within hours, potentially even days, depending on how bad it is. So be responsible for your own safety. We like to say you must do 72. That means be prepared to survive on your own without any assistance for 72 hours. Kind of say, can't be at home without a campfire inside. Be able to do that. So have non-perishful food and water with you for your family and your pets. Have a way to receive emergency messages when the power's off. Have a plan on where to shelter inside of your home. Typically a basement or first floor inside a room. You can say put as many rooms or walls between you and the outside as possible. Inside bathrooms are regular location. Please don't forget to check on your friends and your neighbors and the elderly before and after the hurricane. Reach out, give them a call, pay them a visit before the hazard arrives, and check on them after those. If you need more information, please go to Alert Durham for preparedness information. You can sign up for automatic emergency messages. That is www.alertdurham.com. Scroll down and get the sign up. And you can receive all of the automated natural weather service alerts. You can receive updates to emergency operations center. And you can also receive recovery information once the storm has passed on what to do. We've also got a lot of information that there's an access or functioning need registry. You can register there. You can also learn a lot about more preparedness and recovery information. With that, that is my discussion with you. I appreciate you coming out. Any questions? I'm Beverly Thompson with the City of Durham. And these men aren't up here just for support, but they're here to answer any questions that you might have regarding your preparations for hurricane storms. We do have people here from the county, the city, as well as Durham public schools. So with that, we'll open it up to questions and if you would introduce yourself and save your question. Thank you. I'm Ben Leonard with the ninth three journal. Just was wondering about the, I've seen some flyers going around do the homeless about just warning them about the weather conditions. What are the things is the city and or county doing in order to protect the homeless? Thank you for that question. In addition to the shelters at campus, those sides that will be open up and the HEMA, as has been mentioned, urban ministries of Durham is adding extra cops so that they can accommodate as many additional folks as possible. And we have been outreach to the other outreach teams through housing for new hope and open table ministries to make sure that folks know that urban ministries have additional heads available and about the emergency shelters that are also there. I think on top of their additional capacity, which is about 180, they're adding 20 to 30 additional cops. Hey, Sarah, well, it's a D week. Could you all speak about your expectations in terms of flooding, whether there are concerns around flooding as a result of drainage, river flooding, what do you expect in the next year? I think we can expect both. While we're hearing if it holds true with the forecast or the next, when this thing starts Thursday night, Friday morning, the next two or three days, 10 to 12 inches of rain. So I think we can expect both, depending on if we get a hot pocket, we can send you flash flooding. But we can definitely expect river rain flooding and the traditional flooding around the grand interiors that cause problems in the Tassie to do the debris back up. Or once the waters come up, they find a degree to bring that back down with them and they can clog its pockets. So we expect in the traditional areas that we've seen in the past. Dawn and I are with some again. You'd mentioned earlier that the low river reservoir could be strained or additionally, can you talk more about that? Hi, I'm Bo Ferguson, Deputy Manager of the City of Durham. We don't have concerns about reservoirs. We are releasing water now from the reservoirs to ensure that they can handle additional water. In addition to having abundance of caution, we'll have staff at both facilities throughout the event monitoring both facilities. They're designed to be able to handle unfortunately these sort of extreme conditions. We expect that they will be able to handle these conditions and if for any reason we experience any trouble facilities will work with emergency management to push that information out. But right now, we do not anticipate any problems with those two reservoirs. Hi, Amy Blalock, Durham Television Network. We're getting a question here. We're streaming live on Facebook and one of our viewers would like to know, will Durham City water flow even if the power is out? So Deputy City Manager, could you address that for our viewer? Yes, again, Bo Ferguson, Deputy City Manager for Operations. The Durham City water system, the water utility that serves Durham and Durham County is extremely resilient. It's designed to operate in these conditions. All of our water treatment plants, all of the booster facilities that provide water into the water system have active power, have multiple connections to the power grid and they're designed to be operational. So if water is coming out of your tap during this event, which it should be, the water is safe. The only thing that might help water supplies and water being great, which can happen outside of extreme weather events, certainly can happen in extreme weather events, but we have no reason to think that this event will have any abnormal effect on water supply. Certainly if extreme conditions do warrant the application for action out, we would share that, but under normal circumstances a hurricane, heavy rain, event like this, will not affect the water supply in any way. Is there anyone that's going to round up all the line bikes on the streets or worry about projectiles? I see our Director of Transportation, Terry Bellamy, who's available and he can address that. Good afternoon, Terry Bellamy, Director County, Texas City of Durham. We've notified line bike and span to remove the bicycles from the right of way during this event, and that's common practice when you have a hurricane outland. It's to move and retrieve. Our goal is to try to get 100 percent. That's what we're going to do with the bikes. What's the, what are the plans for responding to power outages, particularly prolonged winds? Probably a deep energy question, but can you talk a little bit about the coordination with our utilities? Sure, I mean power is a very difficult question to answer simply because depends on what infrastructure is damaged and how long that's going to be on. Part of that is that cultural preparedness and being prepared for 72 hours. If anyone around here experienced Fran in 1996, power was out for up to two weeks. So part of that is camping at home and understanding how to survive without our air conditioner and things like that. We can make it for the most part, but you know, sort of sense of populations can. But we work with the utility wanting to identify the film, our areas of need, our shelter locations, hospitals and the shelter operations center, public service facilities and things like that. And then it's really kind of for them. We share the need, but based on utility, they'll have to have transmission lines before they can serve us times. And unfortunately that takes some time. You do have the superintendent of Durham Public Schools here and I would ask you if you'd like to make a statement for sharing the information. Mariboya Chief Operating Officer Durham Public Schools. Again, we appreciate the cooperation amongst the entities within the city and county. We are working to open Hillside. We have three other high schools as secondary possible shelters. We have announced that Durham Public Schools schedule will be a normal schedule tomorrow. Extracurricular activities tomorrow evening, a three hour early release Thursday and no extracurricular activities from Thursday afternoon through Sunday. Once again, Jim Rose, the city and county emergency management director. Let's just give a few closing remarks. Want to let our community know that this has been a tremendous effort and a team response with the city and county. They've been incredibly proactive, very supportive of our emergency planning needs. Well before the incident, especially as we go into our crisis noted emergency operations center. A message I would like to make sure we know the folks in addition to self preparedness, family preparedness and pet preparedness. Make sure when these wins comes that there's nothing around you at all, patio or deck that can become a projectile. And these things can range from trampolines, patio from church to grills to trash pickup boxes. I think that recycling bins, anything like that. Think about what's around your house that could become a projectile because it probably will. While you're out there, look around your neighborhood. And if you've got a neighbor that hasn't done that, get in the front of the door and ask them to do that because he's right there very well. So please make sure that things are really buttoned up, tightened up and ready to go with this with this. Last thing I want to say is, you know, Administrative Prop along with FEMA is a North Carolina Navy. And he is really preaching on this culture of preparedness. And that's not just for government. It is for individuals. So please take our warnings seriously. Survive on your own. Make sure you've got this stuff taken care of so you don't have to reach out for help. We'd rather be you be self sufficient and happy home than have to visit us more in our shelter locations. Thank you all so much for coming. We'll be pushing out information to our alert dorm as well as we invite you to keep a check on our websites, the city and the county websites for information. Thank you all for
