The Amazing Mr. Malone. Operator. Operator. Get me the office of John J. Malone. The National Broadcasting Company presents The Amazing Mr. Malone. An exciting half-hour of mystery starring George Petrie as the lawyer whose practice before every type of bar has become a legend. Our locale is the city of Chicago, the time, the present, and the hero of these weekly adventures, The Amazing Mr. Malone. My name's John J. Malone, attorney and constable-in-law. Tonight in our study of the cliche, let's explore the possibilities of haste maketh waste. As a case in point, I give you Dutch Schneider. Dutch is the solid-looking citizen behind the mahogany desk at the Belvedere Club. He's a gambler by profession, but that doesn't mean he takes chances. No, Dutch likes to play it nice and safe. That probably explains why he stares with obvious disbelief at a light on his desk which flicks on and off with appropriate sound effects. O'Neill. Yeah? What's going on out there? Just what you think, Dutch? It's all right. Are they doing any damage? Can't you hear it? No. I'll take my word for it. They're playing awful rough. I'm glad they're having fun. Who's in charge? I am, Mr. Schneider. Never mind, O'Neill. Do you want to see me? Yes. What's your name, officer? Brooks. Lieutenant Sidney Brooks. Why wasn't I notified of this raid? Would you mind repeating that, please? I asked why I wasn't warned. Your boys must have done at least a hundred thousand dollars worth of damage. Oh, easy. You know who's going to pay for it? Who? You. On my salary, don't be silly. O'Neill. What is it, Dutch? Get me Arthur Hall on the phone. Oh, now I get it. Is Arthur Hall your lawyer? That's right. You know, this is the funniest thing I've heard yet. You think so? I know so. So he clipped you too, huh? I'm surprised at you, Dutch. What are you talking about? I'll bet Arthur's soldier a bill of goods he could keep us out of your hair if you paid off to him. Well? Well, he was kidding you. Arthur Hall has as much influence in Chicago as my brother-in-law. And even with me on the force, he can't get himself arrested. Well, if Hall was bluffing, why wasn't my club knocked off before? Oh, you're just lucky, Dutch. We're understaffed. We didn't get a round to you. I see. I can't get over it. Arthur Hall clipping a hip character like you. You're right, Lieutenant. It is funny. But you'll pardon me if I don't laugh. Right now, the joke seems to be on me. Yes, I was detained at the office, Peggy. Why didn't you answer your phone? Dutch Schneider's been trying to reach you all evening. Oh, did he call here? You know, Arthur, I got the idea. He was a little annoyed with you. Oh, well, what did he say? It wasn't what he said, darling. It was the way he said it. Listen, Peg, I can leave town for a few days. Oh, really? Yeah, something's just come up. Remember the, uh, Marshal? Yes. You don't have to explain. You know I trust you implicitly when you're leaving. I'm taking the super chief to Los Angeles. Oh, that explains it. That explains what? Why, they called and confirmed your reservation to St. Louis. Well, I must have made a mistake. Obviously. Well, have fun, darling, if there's anything I can do for you here. There is. I want you to sign this paper, you see. Nothing to be concerned about here on this first line. Oh, really? Yes. Nothing to be concerned about here on this first line. Uh-uh. Didn't you once tell me never to sign anything without reading it? This is to acknowledge that I, Peggy Hall, hereby... Now, look, Peggy... Arthur, I'm shocked. Utterly and completely shocked. Well, I couldn't sign anything like this.  It's my money and bonds, isn't it? Oh, sweetheart, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't want to see you penniless in St. Louis. Pardon, Los Angeles. Suppose I write out a check for 25 dollars. Now, listen, Peggy... There's no use arguing, Arthur. I think I'm being very generous. After all, I'm not obliged to give you anything.  Just what do you think you're doing? It's not nice, Arthur. I said that's not nice. Hello, Peggy. Hello. What are you doing here? Oh, there are a couple of things I want to take up with you. Giving us a loan for a little while, Mrs. Hall. It will be a pleasure. No, Peggy. Come back. That's a swell girl you've got there. Now, listen, Dutch, I know what you're going to say. That's good. Then I won't have to say it. It was a slip-up. You see, I've been on the phone all day. Those boys had no right to rage your place. But they did. Well, I've got an appointment to talk to the commissioner tomorrow. I don't see how you're going to manage it. Wow. What do you mean? Well, to talk properly, you should have teeth. And comes tomorrow, Arthur. I don't think you're going to have many left. George Kelk? Mm-hmm. I'm Arthur Hall. I spoke to you on the phone. Oh, yes. I'll be with you in a minute. I've got to hear this record. Well, look, Kelk, I'm a busy man. If you're in a hurry, Mr. Hall, you better take your business elsewhere. Well? I'll wait. That's the ticket. It's pretty, isn't it? It's debutsive. Yeah. You know what's responsible for most of the troubles in this world, Mr. Hall? People assign the wrong value to things. Now, take music, for example. That's important. Because there is a common denominator. Look, Kelk, I didn't come here for a lecture. There's no extra charge. All right, Hall. What can I do for you? You want to do a job for me? Not particularly. What? I'm a craftsman, Mr. Hall. I only accept commissions I like. I'll pay you $500. You're not even in my register. A thousand? It's a little better. Have the money right on you now? Yes, but it's all I have at the moment. It's enough for me. All right. Two, four, six, eight. Now, what's the name of your party? Dutch Schneider. You know him? It's only by reputation. He the one who bounced you around? That's my business. As you say, Mr. Hall, that's your business. So if you'll allow me, I'll be getting down to mine. Just a minute. Yes? Are you Dutch Schneider? That's right. Kelk's my name. Georgie Kelk. Kelk? Have I heard that name before? Well, I don't know. Have you? For sure. You're the... Well, go on, Dutch. You won't hurt my feelings. I'd rather not take any chances. Frankly, it won't make much difference. Sit down. You mind if I smoke? Here, try my brand, the King's Eyes. Well, if nothing else, it'll give me a little more time. Can match? Sure. Kat, thanks. Well, where do I get it, Kelk? What's wrong with right here? Aren't you afraid of the noise? I guess you didn't notice the silencer on this baby. Excuse me for trying to tell you your business. It's quite all right. You don't mind talking? I don't mind a tone. How'd you find me here, anyway? Oh, it took me a couple of hours when I managed. What is this, a hideaway? Yes. Nice place. Oh, your phonograph? Whose records? Mine. So you go in for the classical? Whose album is that you've got on the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto? Rubenstein. Ever hear Horowitz play? I like Rubenstein's betters. You get a lot more fire. Oh, you're out of your mind. No one can touch Horowitz when it comes to execution. You ought to know. It's all right. Say, tell me something, Dutch. Why is it the nice guys always get it? There's no reason why they should. Look, Kelk, I don't want to insult you, but can't we talk this over? I'm afraid not. Well, I know who put you up to it. It was Arthur Hall. What difference does that make? A lot. You have nothing in common with Hall. Wouldn't you rather work for me? Definitely. But it's too late now. Why? You can't tell me that you're afraid of Hall. And I don't know what he gave you, but I'll pay you $10,000 for that gun. Fully loaded. I don't know, Dutch. I've never done anything like this before. And if I did now, I wouldn't want you to think that the money you're offering had any effect on my decision. Oh, of course not. But there was something about that fellow Hall that just rubbed me the wrong way. All right, Dutch. Get the door. It was just one of those things. Just one of those crazy things. One of those bells that now and then rings. Just one of those. Don't stop on my account, Mr. Malone. I think you sing real pretty. Well, I always say a pretty girl deserves a pretty tune. Imagine coming into my office and finding you. How'd you get in here, anyway? I told the superintendent I was a friend of yours. Good for you. I'm glad you made yourself at home. You don't mind my taking off my shoes? Not a bit. I'd like to see people comfortable. And you ought to get some better reading materials. Oh, you don't care for Professor Wigmore on evidence? I thought it was pretty dull. There's a racing formula. No, I didn't. It's last week. Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Miss... Hall. Peggy Hall. Only it's Mrs. And I'm the one to be sorry. Shall I put my shoes on? Why be formal? You know, Malone, you're a welcome change for most of the lawyers I know. You know many? I've got one on the family. Arthur Hall. Do you ever hear of him? Unfortunately. He's my husband. Oh. I once heard him say he'd never do business with you. Well, that's a wonderful recommendation. That's what I thought. Get me a divorce. On what grounds? Grounds. Well, this may come as a shock to you, Mrs. Hall. But judges are peculiar people. Before they grant a divorce, they like to know if there's a reason. I've got a million of them. Well, you're husband contested? I don't think so. I don't think so, either. On our luck, Lieutenant, I'm busy. Oh, you're always busy, Malone. Why don't you take a little time out once? I'm not clowning, Brooke. Neither am I. Oh, uh, this lady's Peggy Hall, isn't she? How would you know? I'm a detective. Like to see how I operate. Love to. Well, first I went to your home and the maid told me you left a message that if anybody looked for you, you'd be closeted with the legal eagle here. What?  Look, Brooks, what are you getting at? Didn't she tell you? No, all she told me is she wanted to get rid of her husband. And she did. We just found his body. Put your shoes on, Lucy. Those stone floors and headquarters can be awfully cold on your tootsies. You're listening to the amazing Mr. Malone. It's the silver jubilee on NBC. NBC has long been known as a leader in programming. NBC prides itself in its leadership and promises to continue to schedule programs of interest, taste, and entertainment. We'd like you to note the programs we have prepared for your Sunday radio entertainment. These programs are designed for high adventure and we start off with the saint. Then screen actor Lloyd Nolan brings you the fast-moving action of Martin Cain, Private Eye. A new series called The Whisperer brings Carlton Young to the NBC microphone in a double role, that of Philip Gault and The Whisperer. Then Mr. Motel, Mr. I.A. Motel. Next week, be sure to hear Dimension X on Thursday evening with stories in time and space, presented in future tense. Then on Friday we have a premiere on NBC with the program Mr. Keen Tracer of Lost Person. Yes, we bid you walk down the corridor of mystery through the doorway of danger and into the realm of high adventure on this, your NBC station. And now back to the amazing Mr. Malone. As an old cliche, it's always darkest before the dawn. And judging by the signs here, daybreak was a way off. While Lieutenant Brooks gazed about my office, I watched my client Peggy Hall put on her shoes. Little thing like that can tell you a lot. To me it proved two things. One, my client was innocent. And two, she had lovely ankles. You like what you see, Malone? I love it.  I look like the kind of girl who would.  I know. I ought to wash my mouth out with soap. All right, lover, who do you think did it? I have no idea. But if you asked me, who would have liked to? I'll amend the question. Dutch Schneider for one. Who for two? I'll try to be enough to hold you for a while.  What do you have against Arthur? Arthur convinced him he was a man of influence. Oh, I get it. How much did he nick Dutch for? I really don't know. Must have been a substantial amount. Figured. That's quite an achievement to take money away from Mr. Schneider. I wonder if I could get in Dutch. I'll let you kids know if I score. All right, you guys. Will you step on it? Those dice tables will never be ready in time. And where's the roulette set up? Oh, we got it here, Dutch. Well, it's doing me no good in that case. Get it open up. Hello, Dutch. Why, if it isn't the amazing Mr. Malone. You mean the amazed Mr. Malone. I thought they closed you up. They did. And what's all the activity for? Well, it gives the boy something to do. I'd like to see him occupy. It keeps him out of trouble. Oh. What's on your mind? Can we talk someplace where there's less danger of me being hit on the head by a hammer? Sure. Come into the office. Well, watch your step. I always tried to. Drink? Malone never says no. Soda? Just a squirt. There you are. Thanks. Well, salut. Salud. All right, Malone, to what do I owe the pleasure? Well, for one thing, I was wondering whether you found a successor to Arthur Hall. A successor? Well, Arthur used to represent you, didn't he? I'm glad you mentioned that, Malone. I could use a good lawyer. Wish I could think of one. And what's wrong with you? Me? Oh, I got a client. So what? So I'm afraid your interests are diametrically opposed. Well, how do you figure that? I'm representing Peggy Hall.  How did you know he was dead? From several sources. As a matter of fact, I think there was a flash on the radio about an hour ago. What did it say? Nothing much. Only that someone sent a 32 slug through Arthur's brain in his office, and the cops were holding a hot suspect, but they didn't drop any names. It's Peggy Hall. Well, now that proves that they're out of their minds. Why would Peggy kill him? Well, it seems Arthur signed everything he owned over to her, and she didn't want to give it back. That's no motive. I forgot to mention that everything Arthur owned amounted to close to $100,000. Hey, your lawyers do all right. Well, there are lawyers in Lawyers Dutch. Now, Arthur had a few soft touches.  You don't have to tell me. I was one of the principal contributors. So I've heard. What gets me is why the police haven't talked to you. Well, maybe they have. Would you tell them? Obviously enough to convince them that I didn't murder Arthur. Want to try convincing me? Where's my percentage? How's your drink? Oh, the drink? Fine, fine. Want one for the road? Oh, I'm in no hurry. I can spare another few minutes. Well, I can't. That's okay, Dutch. You don't have to beat me over the head. I can take a hint. See, you're on the pool roll. Hello, Dutch. Why, Kelk, you're the last man I expected to see. I hope you don't mind my dropping around. I brought over the Horowitz recording of the piano concerto. I thought maybe you'd like to compare it with the Rubenstein job. You're in a hurry. I guess there's no use of my trying to kid you. No use at all. It's funny, Dutch. I've known you, uh, how long? Maybe 24 hours. And yet I feel that there's a, uh, a bond between us. Do we over? Mm-hmm. You know me better than I do myself. For example, I used to think that I was incorruptible. Oh, come on. No, I mean it. I always prided myself at one time. You know me better than I do myself. You know me better than I do myself. At once I undertook an assignment. Nothing could swerve me for my purpose. But you did, didn't you, Dutch? And you did it with money. Did I do that? Yes. You put ideas in my head. Get to the point, Kelk. Well, all I'm trying to say is that suddenly, money has become tremendously important to me. So? So I want lots of it. And do I look like Fort Knox? Well, a reasonable facsimile.  Now, that was pretty cheap, Dutch. I bet I could have gotten five times that. Easily if I had that much here. Well, you better start raising it. Otherwise? Otherwise I go to a fellow named John J. Malone. No, you wouldn't do that. Why not? I just don't think you would. Well, you're wrong, Dutch. How can I be?  And I don't see you going to John J. Malone. I just don't see it. My name is George Kelk. George Kelk? Yes, you don't know me, but it might be worthwhile if you did. In what respect? I know who killed Arthur Hall. Is this a rib? I'll let you judge that for yourself. What time does your office staff leave? 5.30. All right. I'll be there at 6. It'll be much easier with just the two of us. Let me see if we understand each other, Kelk. I think we do now, Malone. You'd be willing to repeat the same story in court? Why not? Well, you admit that you've been hired by Arthur Hall to take care of Dutch Schneider. Well, nothing happened to Dutch, did he? No. Then what can happen to me? You've got a nice logical mind. Thank you. What do you think will be Dutch's reaction when he learns you've been up here? Oh, I'm not worried, Malone. I can look after myself. You want me to prove it? Yeah. All right. Open up your desk drawer. Why? Go on. Start with the bottom one on the right. What are you talking about? You've got a recording machine somewhere in there, Malone. You've been taking down every bit of this dialogue. How'd you know that? Oh, you're talking to a man who keeps up with the latest in that field. I had a little home recording myself. Oh. Who thought of placing the microphone in the waste paper basket? Me? Pick it up from a story I once read. Cute idea. Yeah. All right, Malone. Get away from that desk. Put away that gun, Kelk. I said, get away from that desk. How do you feel, counselor? Oh, it's too bad. Next time, remember, you're not dealing with an amateur. I never audition for free. Listen, Kelk. Give him a little more water, Susman. No, no more. Come on, Malone. Come on. Take it easy, Chum. Something new has been added. Yeah, three stitches in your scalp. Oh. Why did you get here, Lieutenant? About an hour ago. Let me see that desk. Oh, there's nothing to see there. You'll have to buy yourself a new recorder. Listen, Brooks, a boy named George Kelk was up here.  Well, he can clear Peggy Hall. Now, look, Malone. I'll tell you, I had the evidence on that machine. Sure, sure. Will you stop trying to humor me? Alcohol originally hired this Kelk to bump Dutch Schneider. Only Dutch was lucky and bought his way out. He had a strong enough motor for you. You mean for Dutch getting back at Arthur Hall? Yeah. I'd be out of my mind to say it wasn't. Well, Kelk can prove the whole business. No, he can't. Look, Lieutenant, I talked with the man. He told me that at nine o'clock last night, he went up and braced Dutch. Well, that's where you run into trouble. I don't see why. That's because you haven't seen the autopsy report. Arthur Hall was dead at eight. What? Yeah, that's right. A full hour before Kelk even got to Dutch. You'd better get the aspirin, Malone. Your headaches are just beginning. It's happening to the amazing Mr. Malone. Now that vacation time is here, the danger of forest fires increases all over the country. Millions of people will be enjoying the mountains and woodlands on hiking, camping and fishing trips. Of course, the more people there are in the forests, the greater danger there is of fire. But we can prevent forest fires if each of us will be careful. Crush out cigarettes, cigar and pipe ashes. Break matches in two after using. Drown all campfires, then stir and drown again. Forest fires are a shameful waste because they can be prevented. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires. And now, back to the amazing Mr. Malone. If Georgie Kelk made me sick, Lieutenant Brooks wasn't exactly what the doctor ordered either. When I refused to believe that Arthur Hall was killed an hour before Kelk even met Dutch, Schneider, Lieutenant showed it to me in black and white. Say, Malone, now will you behave? When did this autopsy report come through? Around 6.15 tonight. Why didn't you call me? I tried to, but you were out. Why? You could have left... Oh, you got any other leads? No, your client, Mrs. Hall, still refuses to tell us what she did with the gun. What gun? The one she bought three months ago in a pawn shop. Why? Well, I hear her tell it, she was afraid with Arthur away from home so often. That's possible. Sure, sure, but why'd she buy it under a phony name? She's a woman. Oh, of course. That explains everything.  The pawnbroker remembered she was driving a Nash. She got the first four numbers of the license. Pretty observant, boy. What kind of a gun was it? A police special. Is that what was used on Hall? Could be. The slug we pride out of the wall was too battered to tell.  It's all out of character. Oh, that's good. That is. You've spent all of 60 minutes with the girl already. You've got around a lot. I tell you, I... Wait a minute.  Well, I'd been saying that for years. Where's Peggy now? Now, where would she be? Well, I gotta see her immediately. I thought of something, and the way my mind is functioning lately. I can't take a chance of forgetting it. Shall we go? There's anything I can do, Peggy. Anything at all. I want you to let me know. Thank you, Dutch, but I can't think of a thing. Malone's taking care of everything. Well, much as I disliked the guy, I've got to admit he's capable. But if you want anybody else... Open them up, sir. Hello, Peggy. Malone, what happened to you? I used my head when I shouldn't have. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you had company. That's all right, counselor. I'm leaving. Oh, don't on my account, Dutch. Are they a lieutenant here as a call-out for Georgie Kelk? Kelk? You hadn't you heard? He was up to see me tonight. I didn't think he would. Why not? I didn't think he knew anything about Arthur's murder. You're right. He didn't. Hey, Malone, you said there was something he wanted to ask Mrs. Horne. Oh, yeah. I'm glad you reminded me, lieutenant. I almost forgot again. You got any plans for tonight, Peggy? That's not funny, Malone. No, I'm serious. I'd like to take you out. Hey, haven't I got anything to say about that? Don't get me wrong, lieutenant. With the housing shortage, what it is, I wouldn't leave you with an empty room. Boom. Mr. Schneider can move in and take her place. How about that, Dutch? What are you trying to say, Malone? You killed Arthur Hall. There. I said it and I'm glad. Can't believe what? That Schneider killed Arthur. Suit yourself, Peggy, but it obviously had to be one of you. Well, in that case, I'm glad you picked on Dutch. What convinced you he was guilty? That gun you misled. Lieutenant Brooks said it was a police special, and that's a .38 caliber job. What is that proof? Well, when I asked Brooks if he was positive, the bullet was fired from a police special. He admitted they couldn't tell for sure. So? So how come when I first went to see Dutch Schneider, he knew definitely it was a .32. Oh, Dutch must have had inside information. The very best. After the raid on his club, Dutch went to your home and beat the devil out of Arthur.  Arthur must have promised to return the money he got from it. Well, how could Arthur do that? He'd signed over practically everything he owned to me. Sure. And then when Dutch realized he had no chance of recouping, he went to your husband's office and killed him there. But in between, Arthur hired Georgie Kelk. By the time Kelk located Dutch, Arthur was dead. Should I say I'm sorry? Well, not if you don't feel like it. But you don't want to let this prejudice you against all men. Oh, it won't. I know now the type I can handle. And when I see one of the other kind, I'm going to start running. How do you recognize the other kind, huh? That's easy. They're lawyers. Good night, Mr. Malone. Like the man says, that's all there is. There ain't no more. Which merely means that this is the last Malone show in the current series. If you want us back, all you gotta do is say the word. When it comes to that department, you're the judge and jury. So here's hoping you'll be dropping us a line at the office and that the verdict will be a favorable one. Good night and good luck. George Petrie was starred as John J. Malone with Larry Haynes as the tenant Brooks. Our program is written by Eugene Wang and directed by Richard Lewis. The amazing Mr. Malone is based on a famous character created by Craig Rice and produced by Bernard L. Schubert. The events in this story were fictional and any resemblance to persons living or dead is entirely coincidental. Fred Collins speaking, the amazing Mr. Malone has come to you from New York. Stay tuned for the man called X over most NBC stations.


The common understanding of social prescribing, CUSP, conceptual framework provides a comprehensive definition of social prescribing as a collaborative approach between healthcare professionals and community partners to address patient needs beyond medical care. It involves the provision of non-medical interventions such as physical activity, arts, culture, volunteering, and other activities to improve well-being and reduce loneliness.

Come on. 1,000. Oh, sorry I didn't see you there. It's a deep burn. Tim's just done literally 1,000 dips. No, but. Minus 997. But we are working hard on redefining our impossible, and Tim, for one, has been loving training at home in the beautiful weather in this lovely little garden setting. They're really inspired by you guys out there, absolutely smashing it and redefining impossible. He's given us a little bit of renewed motivation to keep pushing forwards, and thoroughly enjoying, as Jaco says, just being able to train at home, the convenience, lose time going backwards and forwards to the gym, enjoying outdoors, and also, David, increasing productivity. A little bit of a. What's it, a super set? In between rests, here it is. Take care of the garden. Don't get my water in. Sometimes I make the lawn, open letters, full of benefits. How long rest have I got left now? That way to go. Yeah, you're next thousand. I've got another thousand. Better get on, Dave. Send them off. So, there's lots of you at home have also been redefining your impossible, and here is a section of this month's graduates. Bye. Over to the boys in the studio. So, you lads look like you're enjoying yourself outside in the sun, where we're having to do the hard yards in the filming studio, a.k.a. my kitchen. I'm baking here, actually, in a direct sunshine. That's filled with you. So, well, one thing was you asking for the top five. There's too many. There was one of just so it had to be a top six. And yeah, I think you're gonna like this. There's a couple. There's one and we can't wait to see your expression. But it's one, I think that you haven't, maybe I'll be wrong, but I think you haven't seen. Roll it. Roll the tape. I just thought we'd put a little bit of your bob along. Walk and pause. There we go. Right. Now then. This one's been getting big wrap. If you've been watching our stuff on Instagram recently, you would have seen this. School of Telecent's virtual classroom member. This out. The control. Not a single drop in shoulder or elbow position. That presses out straight up. Holding all day. Finish. We've shared a video, not that long ago, where she pushed out and then didn't have the control of the legs over the top. And that has been smoothed out with some work against the ball that was recommended in the virtual classroom. And there you go. She's redefined her impossible. Amazing work on that one, Clare. It's absolutely inspiring to see, Jack. We do not agree. Right. Let's get this one going. Thomas. Can I get it now? If you can listen. Good. Rep two. Squeeze it out. Snuck in. First two muscle-ups. Nice. Unsure of the language and what was being said, I was assuming it was a nice bit of encouragement and he was saying, just make sure you look after your shoulders, mate, when you go over the bar. Yeah, that is one thing. You're looking good. It's that first bit. I'll show you a reverse. That's like super clean. But it's this little bit here that we just want to be careful. It's a great job to get up on the bar. You can see there that's going back in reverse. But we really got to make sure we want to look after the shoulders because if we do too much of these in these positions, it just doesn't work out too well for the shoulder joint. But the first couple of reps are never going to be the cleanest in the world. So you've got them in the bag. You can move forwards. Great work. That breaks down the mental barrier of, like, you haven't been able to get over the bar. But then what we need to make sure we're doing is we're looking after the shoulder and not putting ourselves into potentially difficult positions. Next up, let's just enjoy the last little bit of this. I thought he was going to go for a third there. He's got confidence. Ruben. So he's so close. Just pause it. He's so close to getting his full frog to handstand and this piece in the middle, the inverted chair and being able to control the feet going out of it. We talk to people a lot of the time. If you look at his position there, which is great alignment. And we talk an awful lot about going back to the wall. Like, don't be afraid to not to use the wall and gradually get away from it or use it, but just use it as little amount as possible. And this was a great example for him of that one step towards redefining is impossible, where he's going to go through, and if you go and play it through, you can press play. And he'll, you'll see him trying to change and get up to that full position.  Just use it, not trying to rely on it, but it's there to catch him. And then he ultimately gets into a great shape and holds it and controls down. So when you think about being able to go from that, once you've got the strength to get into that inverted chair position, we've now got the ability to, there's a lot of things going on. We're opening up at the hip, at the knee, and the feet are going to go everywhere, but he's now working with a little help from the wall, gradually using it less and less to be able to understand and control where his feet are in relation to the rest of his body. And that is ultimately what he needs to do if you're going to nail that handstand. Yeah, we often talk to people about this, about once you get to a stage like, like rumors that he might want to feel like you want to move away from the wall, practice in free space. We always encourage people to go back to the wall and make it a central part of your training program until you've actually really got the confidence to be able to start to stick a couple of seconds really freestanding.  From a skill acquisition perspective, the wall just allows you to make those corrections and allows you to stay in that position for longer. If you're practicing in free space, as soon as you start to topple, you're gone and you've got to reset it. So your cumulative time on attention for any given set on handstand practice is way, way, way bigger when you're using the wall. It just needs you to manage your ego a little bit to put the work in to get there. And then just to spend the time working on that progression at that stage. Can you get in that sense of reward? Whereas when you fall over all the time in free standing space, sometimes it can be, if it's not going well, it could be a little bit, get you down a little bit when it's not, when you're not feeling it. So you get that sense of reward, you get that sense of feeling like, okay, I'm actually doing this thing. The thing that's hard about handstand, as well as like it's costly from an energy perspective to get back into a handstand. Like you end up using loads of energy just to get back to a point where you were before, whereas a wall, because that's hard to just enjoy it. Was that number three? I was number three. I should put numbers on it, shouldn't I? Here we go. Have you seen this one? She's seen a fit. So again, another virtual classroom student and- This girl absolutely kills it when it comes to training.  Is this confident, eh? Yeah, and she said, the one that the message came with, she said around the fact that, you know, she's been working hard in the virtual classroom, following the programs and got to a point where, and it's something that you've talked about before, she was like, I've got to the point now with my handstand that I'm happy enough that this is ready for graduation. And for me, like, she's there for absolutely eight, like, it doesn't have to be that long. For someone else, it's going to be at a stand, but I love that concept of you're in control of deciding when you're happy with your movement. And that is how, the right way around it should be, you should be, you're the one that's in control of whether you think you're happy with what you're doing. And some of the control, the adjustments that she makes is that's what a lot of us, when we're first starting out, we're missing and we want to try and rush that process. And to make, if we go back to just a smidge where you see the fingers and the shoulders, just like, it looks like she's going to lose it one way and then brings it back and lose the other. And that is, that takes time to develop, but that can't just happen all of a sudden. But when you do get that, when you've got the opportunity, you've got the two, you've got the two sort of, what's the word I'm looking for? Like adjustments that, if you feel you're going too far over the top, you know how to adjust it back. And then if they want, when they start coming backwards down towards the floor, you know how to adjust them back towards the middle. When you have those two things and you start to play around with those two things in harmony, that's when you start to balance and you can't rush that. The last thing I like is it's blatantly clear. Even though it's just shadows are casting over her face, there is a big smile. Yeah, 100%. Which I'm enjoying. She looks pretty to herself. If you like smiles, you're going to like number five and six, I think. Sorry? Yeah, there's some celebrations. Ben, James, and again, virtual classroom, students. Muscle up. I don't know. I've got a false grip of gliss. Good eyes, Tim. These are the red rings you wanted, aren't they? I want red straps. Oh, solid. Sunnies. Flatten the back out. Flatten the back, makes an adjustment in the lever position. One gets the one, gets the two, puts the hammer down, go on. Oh, nice. Jack, come on. Jack, come on the edit. That's looking good. Is that last, that real nice little bit of where we're just going to see if we can spin our way back? That shape here, this is the real crux of this. And to get that point where we can hold it for a little bit longer, you've done all the right stuff. So you get in here, you've got to go from that position where you've sort of still got a little bit of that spinal flexion, just up in here, you can see a curve through. And what he's got to do is shift that weight forwards a little bit there, so it's just offsetting it. So you can all of a sudden see the head goes forward, distributing more weight on the side of the base of support on the rings. So you've got that nice, strong position and then from there, that's creating that anchor, that position there, throws it out. We could probably just try and get a little bit more tension through the back of the body, just point the toes towards you to try and help lengthen things out, which will help. I think one sort of, if we're being critical, one thing that then happens is as the other leg gets extended out, so more weight coming down at that far end, that the hip drops down from being in line in the shoulder where it was to a lower position. And so when we're trying to, you know, we just talked about you, but you deciding when, you know, and look how happy it was, well, that's the first time it's actually managed to hold some sort of shape there in his back lever. And now it's around, there is probably a bit of a job of just as you get to cement that down, thinking about how do I maintain a slightly higher hip position? So we're not sort of putting too much stress down, just purely at the, yeah, down through that chain and that the hip can stay up and come up with in line with the shoulder, maintaining that nice flat back position. Yeah, good job. All right, nice on the celebration. Let's just enjoy that again for a second. Here he is, boys, he's popped his head inside to say hello to Nate, he's like, I'll have a brew. Thanks, your two sugars. Right, Paul. Hey ho. Yeah, he's actually, again, he's a virtual customer, but he's been in the workshop as well. Yes. What he does well. You're gonna like this, wait for the celebration. The little, the little hop. Skipping a jump. He's an interesting one because I had this conversation with another students earlier last week. And do we want to straighten the arms before we straighten the legs or do you straighten the legs before you straighten the arms? Well, the answer is you can do both. Paul's given a great example here of straightening the legs before you straighten the arms. If you watch me do a handstand on this movement, I'll straighten my arms before I straighten the legs. It's just different horses for courses. You can still achieve the same outcome. The difference is as he comes up, he actually finds in this angle here, the body's finding quite a strong place from a shoulder perspective. So it's actually dropping in, right, strong here. And then we're gonna start to use that strength. And then you're gonna see here is the leg straight and the arms are gonna go at the same time. So maybe we use a little bit of momentum as the legs moving upwards, which is gonna help to straighten the arms. Just takes a little bit of the weight off or reduces the load a little bit just from an assistance perspective, but we end up getting out into a nice shape. And then he works hard at that top end just to try and stabilize it. The one thing that I think is of benefit to think about when you're doing these movements is if you do wanna put the effort in to get a straight arm, is in that top end position, you will find that if you control this line here with the shoulders, you've then got more time to think about where the legs are going. When you're in that slump position, and I say slump with arms bent, you have to work really hard to try and maintain this angle here with the shoulders to keep the balance. Legs go up and all of a sudden you've gotta try and stabilize the shoulder joint and you've gotta stabilize the feet. So you've got two things which is trying to control. Just adds a load onto the new system. Yeah, and we'd probably say with the knees bent and the feet closer down towards the floor in that tuck position, when you're trying to have to control your balance, if he's trying to press out here, then there's less to deal with up in the sky there. If there's legs to stay down, watch it straighten out. The other thing that it does really well with because it's tough is compared to Claire at the beginning where that shoulder angle didn't change really. First takes those knees off. We get that little drop and sink down there and what happens for a lot of us, if that, if we start going down, there's no way we're going back up. So it does a great job strength-wise to be able to then actually get up from there and potentially why the body knows that the legs are gonna help with that. Some of it comes around to that. But if he wants to, Paul wants to keep, handstands for us are always an evolution. They're a development. It might start with a kick up or it starts with a frog stand. It develops into different things. If he wants to, as Tim said, work a bit more on his balance and he's gonna benefit from having that straight around position. He wants to work on the pressing strength and the control, working on being able to take those knees off at the beginning and not drop down at all. And you'll see, if you look at the two videos between his and Claire you'll see the difference of the two. But all of that is wrapped up on advice, tips, help for Paul, but also for you watching that you may have similar issues going on with your frog to handstand. It's all wrapped up in the fact that that's the first time he's actually managed to get up and hold it. And that is something to be celebrated. And you saw the key thing about it, the best thing about all of it is when he comes down, he is pumped.   Yeah, don't be too hard on yourselves. It's easy for us to sit here and sort of pick points that we would say you could improve, but when you've done something like a handstand and you've got there and held it for the first time, take that as a massive win and then decide what you wanna do with it. That might be enough. You might never do anything with it again. Yeah, but that's up to you. We're just trying to give you some ideas to help hopefully make these things a little bit easier. And just to make the process, if you wanna go and do something else and allow me a handstand, for example, the back knee, whatever it might be, the more sort of efficiency you've got in the movement, the less energy costly it is, and therefore you can do more. So just tear you up for future success and future impossible to redefine. Yeah, and that's exactly, as it says on the screen underneath school cast, and it's redefine your impossible. And that is what this is about. And this video in particular is about celebrating those people that have redefined their impossible or done a step along that process. And hopefully you watching get the inspiration from seeing them, as well as hopefully some tips and advice that you might also, so you might be struggling with that's gonna help you to redefine yours. So if you've got a video on Ascenders, if you've graduated, if you've got to a point where you've done something which you're happy with, which you think is ready for a graduation, please send it to us. You can drop it to us on the email, or you can send it to us direct on Instagram via DM, email address, Jaco. Or Facebook. Yep, email is david at schoolcast.com, nice and easy, that's my first name, Jaco. And even if you're just a step along the way and you just need some help and some advice and you're like, this isn't my graduation video, but I just want, I'm doing this, I need a little bit of help. Then feel free to send us those and we were always here to help you with your progress along the way. If you really feel like you want a full program to follow, and you want that sort of week by week, step by step, way through to some of these movements and want to join the community of people inside the virtual classroom, then you can get, we've got a few different options now actually. We've got the beginners membership which is only 10 pound a month. And we've got the full membership which is to absolutely everything in there, which is 25, but you've got a seven day free trial of that. So you can try it for a week and see if it is right for you. Everything you need and proving to put in tons of people get success. Yeah. There is nothing else to say until next week. Month. Next month. Class dismissed.


Hey folks, it's Ned Pyle here to talk to you about how to get your extended security updates on Windows Server 2008 because right now you're watching this and it's either about to be out of support or it is out of support and you have chosen not to migrate every 2008 machine to Azure where your extended security updates are free for the next three years. So you're staying on prem you have servers you have a software assurance or volume license or other type of enterprise agreement and now you want to actually start using extended security updates on your on-prem machines. And so I have a quick demo right now that I'll show what this process is and just to sort of set things up. It's pretty simple. You're starting with truing up all your licenses figuring out what the cost is going to be talking to somebody at Microsoft about giving us all your money and then getting this key your agreement number putting it into this Azure portal and taking the output of that and using it to activate your update system whether it's WSOS or config manager or some third party it doesn't really matter to me. The key thing is that you'll be able to get these security updates and secure your 2008 servers as best you can while you take your real energy and try to migrate or upgrade those devices and get yourself back into a properly supported configuration for the next decade. So if you're still running Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2 and you need some runway in order to get upgraded to get onto later platforms right now because support has ended as of January 14th 2020 for these OSes. You have a couple options so you can migrate those machines up into Azure and get up to three years of extended security updates or if you need to stay on-prem for whatever reason physical machines certain requirements of VMs etc and you have software assurance or enterprise agreement you have the ability to use extended security updates locally as well. So let me show you real quick what this is like and go to the Azure portal and inside there as long as you have the the ability to do this based on your agreement you can get new max new multi-activation keys. So you see here I have a list of keys showing up and I'm going to go ahead and click get key and inside of my resource group. I have now the ability to specify a key name and I will go ahead and do so just something that I can keep track of these keys. You know, this is almost like a description. And then I can also put in an agreement number. This one is obviously fake. The number of computers that I need to still keep running 2008 in this case and I can go and review and register and that registration will then kick out for me once it generates it a new Mac and that Mac is something you know those keys I can plug into using whenever my methodology is plug into my on-prem VMs physical servers and they will get extended critical security updates not you don't get the ability to get DCRs feature updates anything else on 2008 at that point but you can still continue to get whatever super critical security updates that Microsoft continues to release and you do this every year annually for up to three years so until 2023 So I hope that demo was useful for more information Take a look at this URL. We have an FAQ all the steps you need all the information you need Thanks very much


Good afternoon, everybody. My name is Jim MacArthur. I'm from Newcastle, so I'm a Northerner. Thank you for attending this session on the importance of engaging with youth. My role in Newcastle, I've been in the SES for seven years. The last two of those years I've been the local controller at the Newcastle's unit at the SES. And I've also had another role which has been the regional cadet coordinator for the Hunter Region. And it's a very, very satisfying role and I'm quite passionate about this subject of engaging with youth. I'll just start off by sort of asking a question, not that I expect anyone to answer me at the moment, but it's a question I ask myself and I say, well, how often do we get the opportunity to noticeably influence the life of a young person in a positive way? And I guess the important words there are noticeably and positive.  But for me personally, until I took on the role of regional cadet coordinator, I don't think that I could have answered this question in a positive fashion. So I want to talk specifically about the New South Wales Cadet program because that's a program that has given me the opportunity to noticeably influence young people's lives in a positive way. For I do that, just a couple of quick stats from New South Wales youth engagement. These numbers are from 2009 till 2013, so they're relatively new, a year and a half old. The number of active New South Wales volunteers in the 16 to 25 year age group has increased from 901 to 1754. Quite a market increase in that age group and it's dropped the average age of the New South Wales volunteer from 47 to 42. This is the active members by age group and you can see the blue line on the bottom is the 2009 numbers and at that point the biggest age demographic was about 45 to 59. But since then the demographic has changed very much to that 16 to 25 demographic. That's a number that a lot of organisations would be quite proud of, I'm sure, to engage that number of young people. Now I'm not saying that the cadet program has been entirely responsible for that, but you would have to believe that that's part of it. So the New South Wales SES cadet program, what is it for those who aren't aware? It was started in 2008, so it's been going as long as I've been in the SES. We've had 135 programs since that time. 2,500 cadets have participated in the program in that time. Interestingly enough, I think these numbers have now changed 52% female and 48% male. If you look at the photo that I've got up there, you'd be hard-pressed to find a male in there, but there's actually three blacks in there somewhere. The rest of them are all females. I wish I was going to schools still. The focus is definitely on quality, not quantity. So it's not about how many programs we can run, but the quality of the programs that we're able to run in schools. And there's this exponential influence. What I mean by that is that although we run a program in a school and the program might have 20 or so cadets in there, they've got parents, they've got carers, they've got relatives, they've got friends and so forth. So the exponential influence of these programs is quite wide, quite widespread. A little bit about the programs themselves. They run on two different types. There's a five-day program, which is an intensive program at the school, and I'll explain it a little bit more, but at the school for four days. And one day is an activity day where they actually go out and just have fun all day doing some SES stuff. That's certainly my preferred method in many respects because you get that continuity of involvement with the cadets. You get to know their names a little bit easier. The other sort of program is 10 weeks, which is the life of a term, a school term. A couple of hours a week for 10 weeks is the other way to run the program. The five-day program is somewhat more intrusive on the school curriculum. As you can imagine, the school's actually got to build it into their school curriculum. Whereas the 10-week program, they can generally find a couple of hours, which is a sport afternoon or something like that to run a program. And they do that as well, and then they have the activity day as a separate day. But definitely my preferred option is the five-day program. Generally targeted at years 9 to 11, so somewhere around 14 years old to 16 years old in that age bracket. It's facilitation versus training. So there are courses that we can attend to learn how to be facilitators. So in a way what I'm doing at the moment is teaching. Sorry, that should be teaching or training, so no mistake for that. Teaching is getting up and just imparting information. And we try not to do that. We actually get the kids involved and you've got a plan that you're working with, but you want to throw it out there and get the kids involved and work with them. So it can take different paths, as you can imagine, but the trick is to get those kids back on the path. But it's okay if you wander off it every now and again. And that's the facilitation side of it rather than the teaching side. And the focus is on these things, really. It's on teamwork. It's on communication. It's on leadership. And the term that we've heard a lot of today already and we're going to hear a lot more of them this afternoon and tomorrow is resilience. And recruitment for us is a bonus. Now that might sound a bit odd. It's not actually a recruitment program. We're not going, let's go to these schools and we'll run these programs and we'll get X amount of volunteers out of it. That happens, but it's a bonus. And the reason that I'm so passionate about it is because it really is about the bigger picture. It's about the SES delivering a program to schools where you actually do have an influence and an effect on those cadets' lives. And I think that's, to my way of thinking, is more important than us signing up one more volunteer or two more volunteers. We do get them, but that's not the reason for being. Just a snap of the activity days and the things that we might get the cadets to do. That shop with the roof kit is actually taken at the Newcastle unit. We have a roof set up close to the ground so no one's going to hurt themselves falling off too badly. And that's part of a visit that they do during the course of that program. The program, they actually visit a unit. They also visit another service. And my general modus operandi is to take them to a fire station for a visit because then the kids get to play with hoses and jaws of life and all that sort of fun stuff. And they actually absolutely love that sort of stuff. In fact, I think the fire service do much better out of recruitment-wise than we do after that. But that's okay. It's really about volunteering. Floodboats, that's a typical SES day, isn't it? It's been raining and you can hardly see. So they build stuff out like tripods and we have a simulated collapsed building called the USAR tunnel, Urban Search and Rescue tunnel. And kids absolutely love it, crawling through that and getting dirty. It's in the dark and we put stuff in there like sticks and rocks and stuff like that.  And they've got to rescue someone from there. It's a mannequin, not a live person. Some success stories. And I've got to say, there's been many. And these ones are only from my experience. And remember, I'm only in the Hunter and these programs are right across the state. The success stories that I talk about are mirrored right across the state. If we look at this young girl here, that school said to us that girl's trouble. She's a problem. We had her in a program. We saw that she had natural leadership abilities. We drew those leadership skills out of her. And she not only was a star of the course, but she went on to be much more engaged in the school itself. So much so that the teachers were saying to us, we cannot believe it was the same student. We also awarded her the Annie Roberts Award in 2012. Now the Annie Roberts Award is an award for within the SES for students who go from here to here. You know, it's an improvement award. So she was a recipient of that award in 2012. This girl here, she joined the cadet program because her friend did. The next day the friend dropped out. She was there on her own, didn't know anyone and decided to stick it out. And at the end of the course she was so engaged. Absolutely loved every bit of it. She's since gone on to do pathways to university. She's going to become a paramedic. And she will openly tell you that the reason that she is so passionate about what she does for the future is because of that course. And she's come back and she's attended other courses that we've run at that school. She was also an Annie Roberts Award winner in 2013. This girl here was the reason that that course got underway at that particular school.  A natural leader. And she pestered the careers advisor until he actually put on a program. She was runner up for cadet of the year in 2013. And keep in mind this is just in the hunter. This is not across the state. In 2013 the SES were asked to fill the team. And for the first time we filled it a team in the Fire Cadet Championships down at Mayuna Bay. And you can see they're all standing around with medals on them. They actually did it. It came a credible sixth out of 26 teams. Pretty good for an SES team to do that. But in fact they got second place in the teams challenge. 26 teams all up. And our little SES team got second place in the teams challenge. Pretty proud of it. This fellow here is a member of the Newcastle unit. He's been nominated for young volunteer of the year. So for this year he joined the unit. He's done all the training. He's been through the cadet course. He goes out on call outs. He's just absolutely passionate about it. There's a pretty impressive little line up there. And that's just for the hunter in the last couple of years. And those success stories are mirrored right across the board. You can't see this and that's why I'm going to take some extracts. The last course that I ran, a very quiet young girl, came up to me at the end of the course and slipped me a note. A letter. And that's the letter there. And that's what she said. The amount of information, guidance and future values we received throughout the five days will truly impact our lives forever. It's not a bad statement from a young girl. I've gained deep knowledge of teamwork skills, leadership roles and a variety of communication sources. I mentioned earlier that that's what we focused on. She's picked up on that and that's what she said. Very encouraging stuff. So getting back to our topic, the importance. What is the importance of engaging with youth? These are just some of them. I mean there's got to be several more social skills. They get mixed with a whole bunch of people that they don't normally mix with. Sometimes different skill-term levels. They make friends that they didn't have before. Certainly community connections because of their involvement in the SES, their family and their friends and their neighbours. We focus very strongly on safety of course. Safety is an important part as it is with the CFA. Safety is a major part of what we discuss in the program. It also gives them the whole concept of volunteering. What is volunteering all about? And because we're volunteers and because we're taking our time and we're going there and spending time with them they get some idea about what the whole concept of volunteering is. Team dynamics of course and it doesn't matter where you go in life from school onto the workplace you're going to be involved in a team of some description aren't you? So learn how to operate in a team. Learn how to take direction. We put them out of their comfort zone of course. They do things that they've never done before. And that's a good thing to do out of their comfort zone and finding out, hey I can actually get dressed up in a harness and climb up on a roof even though it's only this high off the ground. Anyway, we give them a lot of challenges and a lot of tasks that cause them to think outside the square. They've got to think naturally, think creatively, work together on that, communicate, work things out. So it's not just a school room based thing. We get them outside all the time. We're all the time going out, doing activities and giving them fun things to do. But at the same time then analysing those things and saying what was all that about? What did you learn from that? A double AR, an after action review. What did we do? What could we have done differently? And an introduction to leadership. And I've seen a lot of instances of those cadets who have found that within them they have this ability to be able to lead a team. Because we spread that roll out quite a lot through the program. Give a lot of the kids a chance to be a leader and it's quite surprising sometimes how many step up to the mark. And I guess the only other thing I would have mentioned there is that from an SES point of view, I guess it is future bursting. It's got the potential to boost our ranks. Now there's a letter there from our commissioner, our new commissioner Adam Dent. And I'll just read it here. I heard some incredible stories about a program that does so much more than recruit young people into SES. Our cadet program is actively building leaders, connecting young people with their communities and changing lives. Sorry, you didn't hear all of that, but hopefully you can read it up there, at least the important bits. And that's from the new commissioner of the SES. So he recognises the value of the cadet program and thankfully he is 100% behind it. So what's the future in terms of the SES? Certainly continuing with awards like the Young Volunteer of the Year Award. Obviously, continue running the program and offering awards like the Cadet of the Year and the Andy Roberts Award. Promote the VA, which is the volunteer association sponsored Young Leadership Program. Talk of establishing a New South Wales Young Members Group so that the young members of the SES have a forum, have an opportunity to get together and determine some of their own future within the SES. And there's talk of investigating an ambassador program. It's kind of like, well, now the cadets are finished, what do we do? Where do we take you? What's the next step? And the next step could be some kind of ambassador program from cadets out of these programs. So I'm going to leave you with just the rest of the thought from Caitlin. I know for a fact assisting my community and sharing what skills I learnt will definitely influence my career. This week was life-changing. That's extraordinary for a young person to say that. That a program they did at school with a volunteer association was actually life-changing. Unsolicited, and it's not the first time that we've heard it. What a great way to finish it. Are there any questions? Yes. That's the only program that we run at the moment. Yeah, that's the only one we run at the moment. I tend to think that we can be flexible within that, within those guidelines about those programs as well. But at the moment, they're the only two styles of programs that we run. Did you have something in mind? I'm happy to take some of that. I'm happy to take more of it here on campus. Not like it's a campus program. So they go there every week for a couple of hours or something, do they? Yeah, yes. I think it's got some merits, but at the moment, this is the focus for the SES, these sort of programs. And then once they're 16, of course they can join. And then they get the opportunity to go there every week anyway and do fun stuff. Yeah. I believe Victoria have run a program. Are there any SES Victoria people in here who can help? Sorry? It's not resourced very well. It's not resourced very well? Right. Okay. Yeah. Look, it really depends on people being passionate, of course. Well, it depends on a number of things. It always depends on people who are going to drive these things, doesn't it? If you haven't got people that are driving it, it's not going to work. You need people who can go to the schools and facilitate the programs. You need people who can go and be assistants to those facilitators. You need the school to be able to adopt it into their curriculum. But I can tell you, from my experience, and I've been doing this now for two years in Ahara, when I took over, we did two programs. The first year I ran it, I did eight. Then I got a slap in the wrist for overachieving, so I cut it back to five. And I, in fact, could run probably a dozen programs a year. I got to the stage where I had to put skills on biannual programs. In other words, I had to go to the schools and say, I'm sorry, I can't do you this year. You're going to have to wait until next year. They're emailing me going, don't forget us in 2016. That's the strength, that's the level that it's got to. I don't have to go looking. The schools are coming to me and saying, please come and run this program at my school. And the issue I have is having the resources to be able to manage that within the budget constraints of the New South Wales SES program. But if I had the people and a blank sheet I reckon I could run a dozen a year quite easily. Isn't it? Sorry. Yep, yep, yep. We probably have, but not the noticeably no. One of my assistants at the moment is actually a scout person who's been a scout trainer for a number of years. And he's now joined the program to assist me, so that's great. Sorry, there's another up there. Numbers. Yeah, look, I kind of, I aim for around 18 to 24. That's in both, that's in both. Now, the reason for doing that essentially is... Is that a bell? A five? I'll talk quickly. The reason for doing that really is because when we organise an activity day we have a number of stands including flood boats and there's a maximum number that can go on a flood boat. So I sort of plan it, so I've got about four teams of people. So 6-4-24 is kind of a maximum. Once it gets over that you've got a much more difficult task at organising the activities with the restriction on flood boats. I mean it sounds like a funny thing to be limited by but I guess you've got to have a limit somewhere. Also control of a room. I think that number of people is quite adequate. And the minimum I reckon is probably a dozen.  Yes, ma'am? Well, you saw my numbers before. 52% female and 48% male. It's quite an extraordinary change. And that's, if you had looked at it a couple of years ago those numbers would have been reversed. Yes, ma'am? Per person? You know, I don't have eyes on that sort of costing.  We lend them a jacket and a pair of pants and we get those jacket and a pair of pants back at the end of the program for obvious reasons. We also cover all other costs associated. So if there's bus costs to excursion, the SES pick those up. We, you know, we might feed them on that day. We cover that cost. So essentially the selling is that there is no cost to the school at all. That's a big plus for a lot of schools. The budget for... The budget is looked after at a New South Wales level and it's really based on number of programs. So they'll say we are going to do about 30 programs this year and how do we make up that 30 programs across the state? So I don't have an individual budget for that. All I have is we get together a couple of times a year and decide on the number of programs that the SES want to do for that year and try to fit in with that budget. Yes, ma'am? I'm not sure if everyone heard that question but it was about the selection criteria and it's an interesting question because we've had the extremes. I mean, I'm about to conduct a program in a school that has students who specifically have behavioural problems and we've run one there before. I'm going into that school knowing that that class is made up entirely of kids that no other school wants but generally we try to get people who want to be in the program rather than are drafted in the program so the school make that selection. Thank you everybody. Thanks for your question.

You got some artwork of Bumblebee right here on the side Back of the box. You've got Bumblebee in bot mode and Volkswagen Beetle mode and take note This is an official License product by Volkswagen. So that is really really cool side of the box You kind of got a black and red image of the Earthrise artwork So now without further ado, let's get this bee out of the hive and check him out and welcome to Patriot Prime Reviews Now once you get Bumblebee all open and out of his packaging You'll see he does come with a sheet of instructions and just like all the modern instructions We've been getting lately. These are very well illustrated and very easy to follow And these are done in a black red and white opposed to Earthrise, which was black green and white Bumblebee also comes with this Teletran one background piece and that's pretty cool I never really paid attention to these before but I may start getting those because that'll make a pretty cool Video background, but man, they are super thin Bumblebee also comes with the four pieces that combine together to form the giant bazooka that we've already seen so many times Though Bumblebees is a different color. You've got cliff jumpers here, which was more chrome You had hubcaps, which was Dark gray and then of course you had bug bites, which was purple So we have seen that weapon many many times. I'm not going to waste the time going over that Let's get right to Bumblebee himself Now Bumblebee here is a heavy re-tool of Earthrise cliff jumper Do not argue with me in the comments because he is and what a fantastic re-tool he is He looks awesome So generation one and I'm so happy to finally get a Bumblebee that transforms into a Volkswagen This guy looks amazing that head sculpt very cartoon accurate great paint applications Silver face blue eyes got the windshield wipers right there on the chest Down here on the feet looks great. You can tell it's a Volkswagen paint applications there on the headlights He's got a Tampa-Graft Autobot logo right there on the foot I wish that was there on the chest But I've got plenty of toy hacks decals to fix that up. This guy looks Amazing. He's got the same articulation that cliff jumper has you got the head on a ball joint It can look up and down all around arms can do a complete 360. There's an elbow bend elbow rotation wrist rotation Waste rotation legs up down all around there is a knee bend and ankle tilt My joints are really tight, which is very very nice. I always hated getting those Figures with those really loose joints now, of course the backpack looks a lot different cause like I said It is a remold you can pop this off if you want it can go into his forearm here as a shield But it's really really loose. He's got tight joints, but loose connections So you've got that option for a shield or you can put it in his fist like so I Don't like that. I will just stick with how he looks With it attached to his back like so Now as I said earlier he comes with that big bazooka I don't like that for Bumblebee if you have the Centurion drone pack it came with this little Bumblebee pistol, so You can put that in his hand and I think that looks a lot better very Generation one now if you do not have the Centurion drone pack my buddy fire talks has made a pistol Very similar and I'll put a link on how to get this in the description of the video This one also looks really good in Bumblebee's hand and I dig it It just looks so much better than that big bazooka. So now let's get Bumblebee transformed into vehicle mode Now once you get Bumblebee all disarmed the next thing you want to do is remove his backpack You just simply pull that off.  So if you have that figure, you know what to do take the chest Unpeg it and flip up the hood of the Volkswagen Now you're gonna take the arms move those down out of the way and you'll peg this back into place It's got this little peg right here. That's gonna line up with that slot right there below that hinge So get that in and it'll snap right into place now You're gonna rotate at the waist and then I love the feet transformation on this figure take this section Fold this out. These will be the doors of the vehicle Fold the feet down so you can flip the wheels out do that on both sides And now you're going to fold at the waist It's always kind of fiddly to get this all lined in you want to fold this back bring the arm panels back And just kind of get everything lined up and pegged into place Now back here on the back. You want to bring the arms down like so This little section right here with the circle that's gonna face in Get those lined in just right and now we'll get bumblebee all pegged together here at the front of the vehicle like so now you're gonna take the fists and Line those up Just like that so you can take the rear of the vehicle It's got the two pegs right here that are gonna go into the fists of bumblebee So get those lined up now when I first did this these were super tight I didn't think I was gonna get these pegged in and actually had a little bit of flashing on the inside of the right fist That I had to clean out So once you get those in press down get bumblebee all squeezed together and there we go I love the looks of this vehicle Still gotta make sure and get everything pegged in That's the worst thing about all these new transformers getting everything tabbed in just right He does have a lot of panels, but I can forgive that because it's still Looks so good lots of molded detail right here on the front as I said earlier got the headlights the bumper the Autograph Autobot logo the detailing there along the hood You got the Volkswagen symbol right there the windshield wipers along the side of the vehicle You've got a painted handle and look at the hubcaps With the VW assemble. I love that they went all out on this vehicle The painted door handles really blew my mind back of the vehicle you've got painted taillights Great molded details again. You got the vents right there below the back window the details on the engine remember Volkswagen engine was in the back and Painted taillights the bumper here on the back is kind of I think that's rubber So that's really really cool. It's very very pliable. I mean, I love the looks of this vehicle This takes me back. My mom had a yellow volts wagon back in the day when I was a kid Mom had a yellow one dad had a blue one. I love the volts wagon lots of memories and another funny memory for you my parents also had a volts wagon van and their version of a car seat in the Mid-70s was they bolted the playpin Or bolted my playpen on the inside of that van So, you know, they hit the brakes. I bounced around like a pinball. It was awesome. Oh, those were the days So anyway, there is Bumblebee in vehicle mode. He rolls great and looks fantastic Now since Bumblebee has a brand new vehicle mode compared to Cliffjumper hubcap and bug bite I will show off what the weapons look like transformed into his Ski mode or whatever this is where you take the weapons you put one end down here across the middle You add the skis below the wheels and the weapon ports there on the side So you've got that look going on. So I think it kind of looks goofy, but that's one thing you can do with the weapon And another option with Bumblebee's weapon is you can do this You have to mistransform the rear of the vehicle with the arms facing up Plug in the rear of the vehicle and then attach the weapon. So you have this which is I guess is a battle beetle mode So there you go another goofy looking weapon option And now for some quick generation one comparisons. Here is Netflix Bumblebee in vehicle mode with generation one Bumblebee and Classic pretenders Bumblebee and up until right now I really didn't notice the difference in the yellow or the G1 guys, you know, they have that bright yellow Where Netflix is kind of more of a subdued Realistic yellow, but that's no big deal. I still think it looks fantastic So there you go guys one final look at Transformers War for Cybertron trilogy Netflix Bumblebee in Vehicle mode and now for some quick size comparisons. Here is Transformers War for Cybertron trilogy Netflix Bumblebee with generation one Optimus Prime Generation one Bumblebee Along with the Walmart reissue Generation one classic pretenders Bumblebee and his mold mate Earthrise Cliffjumper generation selects hubcap and Generation selects bug bite The Transformers War for Cybertron trilogy Netflix Bumblebee is an awesome figure This is the Bumblebee toy that I have been waiting years for he's generation one cartoon accurate He actually transforms into a VW Beetle and I just couldn't be happier. I love this Bumblebee toy And yes, I'm surprised saying that considering this is a Bumblebee toy So there you go guys Transformers War for Cybertron trilogy Netflix Bumblebee So does a Transformers War for Cybertron trilogy Netflix Bumblebee belong in your collection? You know what I'm going to say Absolutely, this is a fantastic Bumblebee figure. I absolutely love it. It is so generation one accurate It turns into a VW Beetle great details great paint applications I mean to be honest the paint applications on this guy. You can't really tell in robot mode, but in vehicle mode Really impressed me I am just thrilled to death with this guy and I understand why he is so sought after right now So I really hope you guys can find him out there I actually got this one as a pre-order from Walmart They actually came through with a pre-order and I couldn't be happier with that and I've been hearing along the Social media that Bumblebee is hitting Walmart's right now.  I Forsee generation selects Goldbug incoming you heard it here first.

All right, so since we didn't get a chance to do a little bit of a recap, because of the show thing, so I'm just gonna play a very short thing. Here's the things that we're on last week, and then we're gonna roll right in. ["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"] So that's last week, and those are still available on Adafruit.com slash new. So this week, new products, good news, bad news, everybody. So we got these limited edition Arduinos, and I have mine that I brought from home. We had only a few, and they're numbered individually. We didn't know which numbers we would get, and this thing is tiny. It's so cute. So this is the Uno Mini limited edition, and this is how small it is. So small. And I'm gonna show a couple quick photos of it, and... Well, that's my... What? That's the breakout? Yeah. Yeah, well. But you know what? It was so small. I know, it looks the same as gold and black. Yeah. Sorry. You're not gonna sell it on me. You get only the Uno Mini. Yeah. But you do get a signed... So that's the packaging. And they went above and beyond. Missing from the list of the folks there is Gianluca, because they had a split a long time ago, but they added Fabio, the new CEO of Arduino. I think that was smart. It's got USB-C. USB-C, and then I thought I'd do a little bit of a mini unboxing here. Okay. So this one's mine. This is in... And it's lucky number 13. You got a Salinas for you. And you can see, and this is going in my Arduino museum. We have probably a hundred boards of the past for Arduino. And weird ones. What are you looking for? Well, I'm just doing this nice glossy. And then this is the... And then this is the... This is mine, because this is 13. So I just grabbed this one out, and the news is we had them. And I had to buy them as a regular person. And so we sold these just at cost, because I wanted to get these to folks out there. And we have lots of emails out to Arduino. We would love to resell these. These sold instantly. We'd like to... I mean, it seems like folks like these, or it might just have just been the collector folks, like kind of like me. Who's like, oh, I should collect this because I have one of every Arduino, and I have an Arduino museum here at Adafruit. I'm glad we have one of each. Okay, next up. Okay, next up we've got... We actually found a bag of these, speaking of 0.5, 0.01, 0.05 inch pitch connectors, because that's the connectors on the Uno Mini. This is a two by five, 0.05 inch pitch. So it's half the pitch that you're used to with headers. We actually got a bag of these to use with our SMT PMS 50031, I think the iSquad C plug-in air quality sensor. And we surface mount the connector on the reel so we don't need these loose ones. But I figured like, maybe somebody has some use from them either to connect to air quality sensors or you have some other device there. You know, sometimes these are called like JTAG connectors. These are through-hole, as you can tell, but hey, you can turn them into surface mount by just bending the pins out. So it's basically the same thing, because they're nice flat pins. Okay, next up, Simon Monk has a new book, Programming the Pico, Learn Coding and Electronics with the Raspberry Pi Pico. Here's some inside pages. And Simon Monk is an author. Lots of Thani in there, MicroPiPhone. Yeah, and that's why we're stocking this book, Support Authors. And the other thing is we have a parts pack that goes with it. That's right, it's a parts pack. And it's hard to tell from this image, but if you zoom in, the breadboard has actually special markings where the part number of the Pico, like the pin numbers for all the Pico pins, are labeled on the breadboard, which is like so genius. I didn't think of it, and it's so smart, because then when you plug in the Pico, because it doesn't have pin markings, maybe on the bottom it does, but it doesn't have, yeah, I think on the bottom it does, but not on the top. And so when you plug it onto the breadboard, and you line up pin one with pin one on the breadboard, or you line up at the edge, all the pins will be labeled on the breadboard for making easy soldering and projects. And you get like servos and LEDs and piezas and buttons and all that good stuff. So a smorgasbord of components. All right, if you look for the next product, you won't find it, but maybe it'll find you. This is referred to as a boot-a-box. It is a little tiny thing that's been around for a while. There's a big hacking community. It has Buddhist chants and more, it's very peaceful. I've plugged in high quality headphones to it. I've plugged in crummy headphones to it. It has a very simple interface. You just turn it on. And it just repeats. And it starts repeating over and over and over again. You can plug it in if you wanted to, thanks. And then Johnny, who is one of our lead shippers, took it for a spin. So check it out and more. So Zen. Yeah, I think I may have not put the one with the audio in it. But you know what? That made it even more peaceful. Yeah, maybe. Okay, anyways, it's on our website. There's a YouTube video. You can check it out. Next up. Start of the show, besides you, Leida, and our entire team, our community, and our customers is. This is a new accelerometer, the MSA311. This is the upgrade to the MSA301, which is just a low-cost, simple triple-axis accelerometer. It's very small. It's easy to use. It's got tap detection, and you can measure tilt and motion with it. It's a lovely all-around, good triple-axis accelerometer. And the most important thing about the MSA311 is it's available to purchase. That's right, it's actually in stock, and I could get some. So we made a breakout to it. The MSA311 has been discontinued. The MSA311 is like 99% identical for use cases, but the iSquad C address has changed from 026 to 062. So your code isn't gonna be dropping compatible. You will have to recompile to use a slightly different library update, just to change that iSquad C address. But the range and the resolution is otherwise the same. And we put on a STEMI QT connector board, so you can plug and play it with our boards. And of course we have Arduino and Circuit Python code for this chip. Just use our MSA301 library. New, new, new, new, new.
