In this lecture, what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at properties of pure substances and we have talked about property data last time. We will be going through the different tables and diagrams that we will use, typically found in the back of any thermodynamics textbook. So what I'll be doing is walking you through a couple of the tables or a number of them that pertain mainly to systems involving steam, and those are commonly referred to as being the steam tables, and then the other set of tables that we'll talk about are tables involving R134A, a refrigerant. So to begin with, what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at properties of pure substances, so when you're solving problems in thermodynamics, you're looking up things like specific volume, enthalpy, entropy, internal energy, those are all the different things that we need in order to solve the problems that we're going to be working with, and so consequently knowledge of how to read these tables or diagrams and how to deal with them is quite critical to progressing through mechanical engineering thermodynamics. And typically when we're looking at these properties, they will be presented as a function of pressure and temperature, and the things that we're pulling out are things like specific volume, internal energy, enthalpy, and entropy. So if you recall back when we talked about the first law, we were talking about being able to characterize the amount of heat or work going into a system and the change of energy, well these properties are used for doing those energy balance calculations. So in this lecture what we're going to do is we're going to take a look at the methods and they will present the tables themselves that you'll be using throughout the course. So we're looking at properties for gases, liquids, as well as two phase systems. So those would be systems whereby a liquid is going through a phase change to a vapor. So it's basically going through the boiling process and we'll talk a little bit more about that later on. So in doing this analysis and extracting out these values, we're going to be relying on both tabular as well as graphical presentations. So we're going to be looking at tabular data, so basically reading tables, and we're also looking at graphical or charts. I personally prefer using the tabular because when you're using the graphical, although you perhaps could do your calculations quicker, it's more prone to error because you have to read values off of the graph whereas with the table, you're doing a lot of interpolation but nonetheless you can get more accurate results that way. So first of all, we're talking here about pure substances. We're not talking about mixtures or gas mixtures like you would have with combustion which we will look at later on in the course. So we're looking at pure substances and what that means is that we have fixed chemical composition throughout. When we look at combustion later on in the course, there you have chemical reactions and so the composition is changing due to the chemical reaction but we are going to assume that we're looking at pure substances. Another term that we will use and I've already alluded to it when I said two phase system, we're looking at phases and if you recall from a course perhaps in freshman physics or something like that, the phases that we can deal with, we have a solid phase and when you have a solid phase, the molecules are arranged in a three-dimensional lattice pattern and consequently the molecules are not free to move around. Through the application of heat, the solid goes through a phase change process and changes into a liquid and we will be looking at properties for liquids. The best way to describe a liquid is you have the molecules that were in the solid, they then kind of become free to move in what we could unscientifically call chunks. So chunks of molecules, so they're still in the lattice pattern but the chunks are free to float about. And finally what will happen is as you apply more heat, we eventually get into the gas phase. When we're looking at steam tables, sometimes we refer to that as the superheated or the vapor phase, but in this phase the molecules are far apart, they're far apart from one another and they're free to move about and collide. And we'll talk a little bit more about the different stages of gas or vapor at the end of today's class. So with that, let's just take a quick look at the phase change process itself. We've all witnessed water boiling in a pot on the stove and essentially what that is, that's going from liquid to vapor or through a phase change process at atmospheric pressure, whatever the local atmospheric pressure may be. So if we plot temperature, here we'll put it in degrees Celsius and then let's say we put specific volume on the horizontal axis. What will happen as we're heating the liquid, so let's say it's water, we're in this range here and we're increasing the temperature and eventually we get to a point that we refer to as being the saturation temperature. So this is a line that's at a constant pressure is what I've drawn here coming up to the saturation temperature. So what happens is we increase temperature, increase temperature, then we get to a point where we hit the saturation point and that's when we're going through the phase change of boiling and we refer to that as being a saturated mixture. Previous to that, before you even get to the saturation point, we're in what is called the compressed liquid region. So that's compressed liquid, we get to the saturation point or basically the boiling point at the particular pressure that we're operating at. We go through a phase change and that's the boiling process and during going through that phase change we have a mixture of both liquid as well as vapor within the system. And then we go up into the superheated vapor region where you no longer have a liquid all you have is vapor and this line, the solid line here, is for a constant pressure process. So we're assuming that things are at a constant pressure there. And there are a couple of points to denote here. First of all, the one going from compressed liquid to saturated mixture, that is where we have what is referred to as being a saturated liquid. And another point to denote here, on the right hand side of the two phase region is referred to as being a saturated vapor. So you can see in the video on the right what is happening is we have a vessel, it's basically a kettle and when we're below in the compressed liquid region, if this is our container we have liquid in here, we have convective currents going as we're heating in the kettle but there's really no boiling going on, we just have liquid. So that is liquid phase. Then what happens is we start going into where we have nucleate boiling. If you take a course in heat transfer you'll learn all about the boiling processes but basically we have bubbles that start to form on the bottom of the kettle and they slowly start to move up in small columns and things like that. You have localized boiling at the bottom but for the most part the liquid temperature is still below the saturation temperature and then eventually what will happen is you get where the upper interface is hard to see because we have all the bubbles in there. That is where we have a two phase mixture of both a liquid and a vapor phase. So to draw arrows back to our diagram here this would correspond to this region. In the middle here that would correspond to getting close to the saturated liquid point and then finally in the video this here would correspond to in the middle where we have a saturated mixture and we have boiling underway. So that's where we have a mixture of both a liquid as well as a vapor.

Well folks, the financial report is in from Famitsu for Japan. We have top 10 software sales. We also have hardware sales, which include obviously the week two sales, so post launch sales of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox series over there. They combine series X and S numbers together into one stat. And there's some amazing stuff because we also obviously had the launch of Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity last week, but it's actually not number one surprisingly, because another Switch game is number one. Another new Switch game. So let's get into the software sales. At the number one spot is Momotaru Dentetsu Showa Heisei Ryumo Taban. Now I have no idea what any of that stuff means. I just know that it is the number one selling game on Switch. It sold 345,697 units. Brand new game just released. Just doing a brief little Google search on the game. It is one of those games. It's like a board game, but it deals with like finances and stuff. I don't know. Kind of reminds me of like a Monopoly, but I don't know if it's quite exactly that. I don't want to sell the game short here, but it's extremely popular. It's like a Japan only IP. So there you go. It is doing very, very well on Switch. Number two then is Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. And its debut numbers are 173,215 units. That is a lot of units for a Warriors game at launch. Again, we already know it is the highest selling Warriors game ever released. Over 3 million. We just reported on that the other day. At number three is Animal Crossing New Horizons. It actually saw a 14% increase to 37,290 units. That has now officially crossed 6 million units in Japan. Ring Fit Adventure is at number four. Jump in two spots with a 50% increase in sales to 36,069 units. Selling 1.8 million. It is getting scarily close to crossing 2 million units. I don't know why I said scarily. It's just close. The interesting thing here is they released a new Ring Fit Adventure bundle in Japan. So some people might be a little disappointed. Those sales aren't even higher. But it is what it is. At number five we have Fortnite The Last Laugh Bundle. That was a brand new release in Japan last week. We all know about the Fortnite stuff happening over there. That moved 31,267 units. It's always interesting to see any sort of Fortnite thing selling in charts. Since it's a free-to-play game. But this was a bundle. So there you go. At number six, which was the former number one from last week, is Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. Pretty big drop-off. 70% drop-off. Did sell 109,000 units launch week. But this week it only moved 25,208. At the number seven spot is Pikmin 3 Deluxe. Moving 24,201 units. It is at 294,000 sold. We got Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Still charting in the top 10 at number eight. It jumped seven spots with a 31% increase in sales to 13,568. That one has moved almost 3.3 million. Super Mario Party is at number nine. That one jumped a lot of spots as well as the number 24 the week before. With a 179% increase in sales to 12,859 units. It is sold 1.6 million at this point. Pokemon Sword and Shield as well. Reenters the top 10 with 11,464 units sold. Now this is the expansion pass in particular. The expansion pass on its own physically. Because these are just physical sales. Hasn't sold extremely well. It's only a 43,000 total. But I have to remember that the expansion pass is more than likely going to be majority purchased digitally. Because it's DLC. And most people are going to buy their DLC digitally. But they do have a physical DLC expansion pass available to purchase in Japan. And so people are buying that. I don't know if it's just a box you buy with a digital code inside beats me. But that is something that is on sale technically in Japan. So there you go. Alright so that is the top 10. Everything is owned by Switch except for the Call of Duty PlayStation 4 version. Which also works on PlayStation 5. So I'm betting most people are buying it for PlayStation 5. Let's get into the hardware sales. Because if you didn't couldn't tell. With all those massive increase in sales with new releases for Switch. The Switch was going to do really well this week. It sold 179,143 units this week. Increasing by almost 63,000 units over the prior week. Where it sold 116,267. This actually puts it a little bit off of last year's pace. Where it sold 179,992. But obviously we had Pokemon last year. So the fact that it's able to get close to the Pokemon peak is really really good. Year today is a 4.8 million. Obviously it's going to cross 5 get to 6. Whatever it's going to do before the year is out. Remember Japan's big sales period is not actually November. It's actually the end of December. That's when they have their big kind of Black Friday-esque sort of sales period. PlayStation 5, it's second week. It dropped from 118,242,891. Now we don't know if this is due to supply constraints. We don't know what the reason is. But that is what the sales are at. It is still pretty hard to get one in Japan. So I'm assuming it's supply constrained. But we don't know. The Xbox series which includes the X and the S. With 3,684 units at the number three spot. That puts it up to 24,218 since launch. The PlayStation 5 is at 160,976 since launch. Obviously neither of these numbers sound super impressive. Obviously PlayStation 5 doing better. It's interesting seeing how much supply constraint might be affecting things. Also what's the demand right now? Because people want to switch even last week. Even last week when there really wasn't a new switch release. The PlayStation 5 launched at only 2,000 more units than the Nintendo switch. So it's very interesting watching the sales in Japan. I think it's going to be clearly Nintendo switch dominated for quite some time. But the demand for switch is only increasing. Not decreasing. Despite the fact that they have 16 million of those switches in the country. The demand isn't going anywhere. So it's very interesting to see that despite new platforms being out there. That it's switch that is still really leading the way outside of launch week. Which gave PlayStation 5 a very narrow edge. And if Hyrule Warriors or Momotaro Densetsu would have launched last week instead of this week. Switch would have obviously been number one. So yeah. Switch is obviously a lot less supply constraint as well. Nintendo has a lot more units hitting the market right now than PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series does. I don't know if the Xbox Series is still having raffles and stuff. Because that's been extremely supply constrained everywhere. Including here in the United States. They're selling out of every unit they can make at the factories. So I'm assuming it is also supply constrained. But again. It's hard to know. I don't think we're really going to know how well PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series are doing in Japan until about summer of next year. But yeah. That's kind of it. PlayStation 4 is you know behind the Xbox Series. But again PlayStation 4 isn't as relevant anymore than PlayStation 5 is out in Japan. So yep. There you go. That is the sales charts in Japan. Pretty crazy stuff honestly. I got to say that all of this is pretty good news. Especially for Nintendo. I mean the Nintendo domination is real. The Nintendo has been dominating Japan for kind of a number of years at this point. And just looking at like the annual weekly sales. I mean the Switch is 2020. It's skyrocketing. It's been ahead of every single year of Switch in Japan so far. There was a spike in 2019 for a little bit there. But yeah the Switch in 2020 is well on pace for its best sales year in Japan. Yet it just it can't be slowed down. I don't really know what is going on. It just it just can't be slowed down. Now if you want to kind of glance at maybe some other interesting sales numbers. You know if you look at the like the PlayStation 3 launch. The PlayStation 3 launch you know had about what is it 88,443 units in launch. So the PlayStation 5 launch is ahead of the PlayStation 3 launch. It's also but the thing is the week two. The week two for PlayStation 5 is behind the PlayStation 3. So week two for PlayStation 3 in Japan so 43,378. Where it only went 42,891 with the PlayStation 5. So that's it's pretty interesting to see that week one of PlayStation 5 was higher than week one of PlayStation 3. But week two is behind as for the Xbox series versus the Xbox one. I don't know why in these comparison charts we're not seeing accurate data for PlayStation 4 because I would love to compare PlayStation 4 data. So I apologize that I can't. But for Xbox series versus Xbox one in Japan it's really interesting. So Xbox one for week one. Famitsu has it listed as selling 23,562. Whereas they have it listed as 20,534 for week one. So Xbox one had a better debut. But in week two Xbox one dropped off to 3,574. Whereas in week two for Xbox series it's at 3,684. Now week three is where we're really going to see what's going on with the Xbox I suppose. Because in week three for Xbox one it dropped off to 1,536. If Xbox series can hold at 3,000 or so that could potentially mean they're just selling out of everything they have. And yeah we'll have to see what happens. We don't really know what's going on. Right now obviously the data for PlayStation 5 does not look fantastic. When we're looking at it falling behind PlayStation 3 levels. PlayStation 4 was very popular in Japan. So to see that we're comparing PlayStation 5's launch to PlayStation 3. I don't know man. Something just isn't quite right with PlayStation 5 in Japan. But again PlayStation 5 no matter how amazing it might be. And I don't own one yet but when I can get my hands on one. I'm sure I'm going to think it's amazing as well. It's very very interesting to see how the game or the platform just I don't know what it is. I think it's Switch. I think the Nintendo Switch is affecting PlayStation 5 sales. I think if Switch wasn't popular in Japan PlayStation 5 would be selling even better. But because because the Nintendo Switch is there and because of how popular it is. People don't really feel like they need another platform. I mean Switch software in week 2 of PlayStation 5 is still 9 of the top 10. New Switch games come out boom top of the charts. Like the Nintendo Switch just can't be stopped in Japan. They might as well just rename Japan Nintendo Switch Country at this point. Anyways folks I am Nathan DeRoba Jess from The Tender Prime. Let me know what you think about these sales down in the comments below. And I will catch you guys in the next video.


Awesome. Hello, I am Mawlik Mawliwal. Awesome. So, I work for ThoughtWorks. I am a user interface developer. So, I just, I was just trying, spiking out the ideas about some, something that came in my mind before the last month. So, I talked to my few of my friends that this idea makes sense or not. So, yeah, they told me it does make sense. You should try out. So, I started spiking out. I called a couple of my JavaScript friends and they told me, okay, let's start building this thing if we can do that. So, we started using Node.js, all those funky cutting edge stuff and started building the thing. Let me tell you what the idea is actually. So, here it is. So, the thing is, it's actually we are targeting the users who are not front-end developer and all those things. We don't know CSS, we don't know HTML and they want to make a, they want to start any application, right, like with a bootstrap is the best tool for them right now. So, it's one step ahead from bootstrap. Let's see what it does and all. So, we list down all the different styles of buttons here. Not only buttons, but there are so many other elements we are going to use like combo boxes, breadcrumbs, radio buttons, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So, we have right now a repository for buttons. So, I'll show you what actually we are doing here. So, it's like if you like this button, we'll see the button here. If you need the port of the, we'll just do that. We will have a CSS for this particular button and the HTML for the one. So, you can copy it and you can directly use it. So, now people will ask me like how it's different from CSS deck and all those things. So, it's different in which way. It's particularly organized. Like we are going to ask users what actually you are going to start with. Like first you will select the button, then you will select the color, then you will be able to explore all those things only. It's like filtered by color, filtered by particular. If you like Facebook, CSS style button, you can search it directly from here. So, it's like all those managed code, managed the project. So, Pulaq is helping out to get this thing done. So, we both are working right now. So, it's an open-source project. We are not going to charge or something like that. It's just for us by us. It's like that. So, we can contribute code snippets here? Yeah. You can help me to build this out. You can help me by codes and all those things. So, right now we don't have facility to... We are going to do this now. That is, if you have a GitHub account, just log in and paste your snippet here. Right now only we can do that by this way. Right now only we can. But we are adding functionality next week. Actually, one of the things you could do is, since you said like people might search Facebook button, what you could do is, you can ask people to give a URL, open it and I can let people click on a button and say, okay, what is the... For some reason. Yeah. Thanks. I mean, because for most people, they already have something in mind. Yeah. So, it could be the starting base. Yeah. What about multiple browser support? The CSS you're providing is... Yeah. We've got all the vendor prefixes. Okay. So, probably it has right now. So, are you now going to minimum match table file or...? Yes. Okay. Right now we are going to prepart all the edge cases we come. See. Would you have your mobile styles also? Okay. Mobile styles also. Another edge case. So, we are just trying like... Like I'm talking to many people about this idea, whether it's... Because I... It's like my... Intentional is to learn all these things and to build... It's not like... So, it's open software. You should... Like, take inspiration from Dribble. Dribble has become inspiration for people who... So, it should become the same sort of UX and same sort of thing. Initially, I struggled a lot to explain how it is different from good stuff, actually. The... The... So, people accept it and it makes sense and all these things. Any other... Do you provide any JavaScript with this? Like, if you have some specific... Yeah. Let's put... There are lots of stuff. My initial is HTML and CSS for known UI guys. This is the first person as that I'm targeting right now. Is it possible to... So, these are predefined buttons, right? It's not like you're generating them. If you ask for a different color than what you have... Yeah. Actually, even... I'm going to do that like all those sliders to change the colors and all those things. But, slowly. Like, it has... There are lots of tools available for individual functionalities. And slowly, slowly putting in a... What? When did you start working on it? Sorry? When did you start working on it? Last month only. So, it's just one month in front. That's pretty good for me, sir. Moliq, are you also planning to do something about people actually being able to do a layout or something? Good idea. But we can do that. But first, let's have a repository for everything. Then, we'll do that as well. So, it's the ongoing stuff. This is just generalizing the... So, the idea is like here when suppose... No, that's fine. You can... Yeah, we're like... So, yeah, it's like suppose generally as a UI, we do lots of copy pasting, to be honest. We don't go and write. So, even doing copy pasting with stumbles, new source, get the CSS or JS, we do it. So, here the main focus is our elements. We'll give you styles or later on JS as we're speaking out in a nice, easier way that you can just take it and paste it. No other links. And the idea is like trying out if you have green color and you are thinking of red color gradient. So, this editor is just open right now. Just click on that. Like this editor, here we'll change it. Click on the button below to see the result that the cursor is. Click on that and the result you will see here. So, here you will edit it. You see the result if you are happy with it. You can copy past or we can have a feature like download this style. Yeah. So, it will download as the file and you can do it. So, the next feature we are working on right now is if you like this button, if you like this combo box, you will not have to go to individually to download everything. We are providing a button here that will download the entire theme for you, for this particular. So, you can directly use it. You should also give support for CSS and less. Right. But that support I believe, I mean suppose if you are an ordinary user, your main intention is to get that style. However, implementing less says that's a developer job. So, we can implement it like we have an editor here where you can create a button. This is a dynamic editor button. So, where they are if you use less says that's up to the developer. But if you are an end user to get that styles, even look out it's not the less of styles. It's the style of it. So, first what we think for a novice user basic users, you get the styles, you use it. Less says it's for experienced people, then we can. This tool is not for experienced people. Hi, it depends. No, experienced people in the sense, it will help you reduce your development time. Development time is important. Why we complicate schools?  Come here, like logo color is orange, right? Orange buttons. You get it, select button, download the theme and you are done with your HTML elements. That's it. We don't have to take care of... We can boost support less. I'm not saying we can't do, we can't do. But we have to start from somewhere, right? Sir, we can boost support less because it's a framework. But here we are not giving someone a framework. We are not giving someone, download this framework and start as a replacement of some other framework. Here the objective is not like that. Here the objective is to give certain styles, certain job, different script, which you will flag and... So, this is... If you want...  So we are just improving it. We are going agile, pure, so... That's it. Thanks a lot. Very cool.


strength, power, success, every person dreams of becoming a hero, of achieving their highest potential, of becoming more than what you are. But do you really know what it takes to make a hero?  I was born anemic and lived in pain every single day. Chronic illness drained my life force, and when I thought things could not get any worse, it did. I was betrayed by a trusted friend, broken by a financial crisis, and I lost someone I loved. Like many who face hardships, I was gripped with depression. I spiraled deeper and deeper into a dark abyss of an existence. I felt like I was drowning helplessly without anyone to save me. The crushing weight of reality was overwhelming, but when life hits you hard, knocks you down, you have a choice. You can stay down and accept it to be your reality, or you can get back up and fight. Yes, rise up, break through those barriers. I didn't give up. I kept searching for an answer and cried out to God for a way out. Then something appeared to me, like a gift from heaven. Maybe it's a technology from the future. Maybe it's from a distant past from my ancestors, but it was the one thing that changed my life forever. With a new weapon, I fought my way back. I restored my health. I renewed my mind. I regained my spirit. I was never the same again. I felt an incredible endless energy like it never felt before. Now looking forward and never looking back. I'm living the life of my dreams and pursuing my passion every day. I have built my empire from nothing, empowering others to do the same. I came from nothing, and now others call me hero. But really, there's nothing special about me. Let me help you unlock your full potential. Let me help you unlock your own energy to transform every aspect of your life. Will you recognize true wisdom, balance and power when you see it? Yes, you already know. It comes from your life force within. I'm David Wong. I will show you the scientific discoveries, the ancient spiritual teachings and valuable lessons from my own personal experience. Join me, and I will reveal to you the secrets of G Life Mastery.


Welcome to All Hands Update. Here's what's happening around your Navy today. USN is Stockholm and USN is Montfort Point performed a skin-to-skin maneuver as part of exercise Sang Yong 16. The S2S maneuver is conducted by the ships connecting side by side while the Montfort Point acts as a floating pier for a simulated offload. The ships also transferred a vehicle and conducted flight operations, both first while connected during an exercise. Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevens announced that he will retire in September. Stevens became the 13th big pawn when he took the helm of the office in September 2012. He was advanced to a Master Chief in October 2002 and went on to complete a number of operational and command Master Chief tours. You can read more about what's happening around your Navy at navy.mil.


Hey, what are you sitting for? Do you want to have a nice view of 2017 Dodge Journey RT? RT means it's all a little dry. So you got another seat in there. This one's also about the drop-down DVD in the back here. So it's good with wireless headphones. Of course, back-up camera. Great. Get back-up camera in there. Back-up sensors. Five passenger. So when you're ready for your journey, where are you going to go? Bob, you dodge. Who are you going to see? Stephen Furnett. Have a great day.


The men is the best men's team that the school has ever seen. By far the biggest group, most records we've ever broken, and the best raking going into championships that we've ever had. And I think we're gonna actually hang pretty well in that eighth place spot, hoping to clip seventh place at the end. So definitely trying to take a step up if we can. So Sean has been absolutely integral since day one. He came in extra motivated this year because his season was kind of interrupted last year with COVID protocols and things going on with that. So he came back with a, just kind of a new spirit, a new motivation. And he's just been firing on all cylinders since the beginning of the year. I mean, he set that 50 freestyle record on a random November dual meet. And so he is prime to go. And we found out he can swim backstroke this year. Last year we thought he was a butterflyer and his backstroke just shined really well this year. So setting those records in backstroke has been absolutely great. And it's been benefiting his freestyle as well. So the women are on the rise, way better than we've had last year. And there's been some growing pains on that side of things as well, but for the better. Being able to go in with full rosters of relays and actually our women are scheduled to outscore our men. They look fantastic. And the last week of taper or whatever has been phenomenal for the women. They're hitting some times that they haven't been able to do this season so far. And so I'm really excited to see what's in store for them. This year with the bigger rosters and with the influx of talent with our freshman class, we are really looking at experience. And it's funny, I was thinking about it. Even our upperclassmen have only really had one year of experience at championships because even two years ago it was a COVID year and they didn't have a full championship experience. So if anything, it's really just learning. The one thing we're excited the most for though is having a huge spectator gallery this year. And we've gone all in with some spirit wear and some, I guess you could call it knick-knacks to play with up in the spectator gallery. So we're gonna be loud, we're gonna be proud and we're gonna try to, at least with our team spirit, be able to launch each swimmer to maybe another level they weren't capable of before.

Act 3 of Anne by Lechmeer-Worl This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Scene the same as Acts 1 and 2. Time Evening. Fire Lighted. A reading lamp lighted on Edward's desk, standard lamp lighted. At Rise of Curtain Edward discovered busily writing. He rises with a loose sheet of MSS, which he reads over to himself out loud. There was a long silence. He inhaled the subtle scent of her hair. His pole-speech quickened. He hardly dared to breathe lest some slight movement on his part should suggest a readjustment of their positions. Down to set T to himself. That's not quite it. No. Thanks. Walks to set T, sits and smells sofa cushions for further inspiration. A readjustment of their positions. With a sudden idea. I know. He jumps up and starts writing again. Enter the dean and Billy, right. Dean crosses over to left corner. Dear old dad. To Billy. Hello, old man. Hello, old man. Edward. Edward does not hear. Billy rather apprehensively gets close to Edward. Edward! Billy jogs Edward's elbow. He rises. Both stand up, stage center. No, Edward. As there are only men in the room, perhaps you will explain matters. My dear dad, I have nothing to explain. I should say. Judging by the number and appearance of the articles brought to light at such an inopportune time, that you had a good deal to explain. Give me a cigarette, Edward. Edward takes out cigarette case. Edward! Billy is taking cigarette. Edward, attend to me. Both men jump. Edward turns round, holding case behind his back. Billy takes case, takes out a cigarette, and returns case to Edward's hand. Still outstretched behind his back. Billy lights cigarette and retires a little upstage, smoking. I have done my best, too, to put a kinder complexion upon the affair, for Evangeline's sake. But my task has been indeed a hard one under the overwhelming burden of evidence before me. I repeat, I have nothing to say by way of explanation. If you or Evangeline choose to judge me by appearances, dad, what then you must? You mean to tell me you have no idea how those intimate feminine garments got into your room? I may have ideas, but I keep them to myself. Edward, I may be a dean, but in this instance I must judge you as a man of the world. And as a man of the world there is only one possible explanation. And I suppose the usual man of the world's excuse. Exactly. I mean, certainly not. Look here, dad, leave the man of the world out of it, and judge me as the dean. Billy shakes his head and saunters down to right of Edward. Very well, I will. I should stick to the man of the world, Edward. I prefer dad to stick to his own profession. Billy shrugs his shoulders and retires upstage again, picking up a book from table right. To dean. Now, sir. Dean, finding it somewhat difficult to attack as the dean. Can't we... can't you offer some...? I've told you, sir, I cannot. I don't know how the things got here. Evangeline is willing to accept any reasonable explanation. I have no explanation to offer. I even think, in time, she may reconsider the possibility of renewing her engagement. I certainly shall never renew my offer. You mean, sir...? Up to Edward. I mean this, sir. It was to please you and the martyr I proposed to her. Evangeline wasn't in love with me, and I wasn't in love with her. Perhaps that excuses her. But would anyone else condemn me as she did? Did the martyr? Did Miss Anning? Do you, Billy? No, I don't, old man. Turns up to window and resumes reading. It's left to my father and the girl I'm supposed to marry. Come, come, Edward. You must remember the shock to a young girl's feeling that the unconventional appearance of such garments would produce under the circumstances. Good heavens, why, if I knew nothing? You don't even suspect anyone of playing a very foolish practical joke? I may suspect, but it's outside the point. Billy, coming down right center. Why not expose the Joker and regain your own lost mortal character? Oh, dry up. Certainly, old man. Certainly. Retires up again. What possible motive? Sits on set to your range's cushions. He sniffs. God bless my soul. What a very remarkable thing I... What is the matter? Dean, taking up cushion and smelling it methodically. Yes, it is. No. Yes, it must be. What is it, sir? Edward, I think I have discovered a clue. A clue? There is a distinct resemblance in the aroma of this cushion to the aroma that pervaded those vestments your mother has taken upstairs. Oh, nonsense, dad. Dean, smelling cushion. Yes, distinct. I have a very keen sense of smell, Edward, as you know. And this evening, when your mother and I were searching for a possible name on the night, the rain meant in question, I noticed this peculiarly delicious, I mean, pungent odor. Now look here, dad, why not let the matter drop? Drop? With a clue like this? Rises. Down left a step. No, sir. It shall never be said I left a stone unturned to clear my son's mortal character. Going towards door with cushion. I shall take this and compare it with... Over right, he stops suddenly. Edward, dad, you have perverted the truth. You do know who left those things here. She's living in this hotel. My dear old dad, what? Dean, tragically smelling cushion. It's not the hair wash. It's that American girl. I noticed it on my hand after shaking hands with her. Billy, coming down right of Dean. Still, you know, sir, you're not absolutely certain. Certain? Billy retires up to window seat in great confusion. I am perfectly certain. To Edward. And you can't deny it. I do deny it. You pervericate, sir. My nose tells me you pervericate. I deny that, Miss Anning. Dash it all, Governor. Suppose she does use the same scent. What of it? I shall reserve my judgment, Edward. I may be wrong. My nose may have misled me. I trust it has. If I have wronged you and this young woman, I am deeply grieved. If you have compromised anyone, I trust you will act as my son, as a gentleman would act. Exit Dean right with cushion. Edward strolls over to left corner. Billy to Edward. Old man, what's the next move? Edward looking at him. Hanged if I know. I say Teddy. Was he right? No. Edward sees parcel and note on chair left corner. I jove. What's this? What's what? A note from the mother. He opens it, coming left center. My dear boy, you'd better return these things. You might have trusted me. You've known me long enough.   Goes over to Edward. Why don't you own up, Teddy? I've known you long enough. You wouldn't believe me if I did. My dear old chap, I'd believe anything you told me. We've always been such old pals. I know at Cambridge you were a fearful old anchorite and all that sort of thing, but hang it all. What earthly harm is there owning up to a few high class wild oats? Edward turning fiercely on Billy. Damn it. They weren't wild oats. Does she look like wild oats? Billy alarmed, backs away to center. You don't mean it's a little miss. What's her name? Yes. Great Scott, what luck.  Nothing old chap, nothing. Of course, she couldn't. I mean, why did she leave him here? I didn't. Well, hang it all. Last night, somehow or other, it came out I'd got engaged to Evangeline over the phone. Well, she lectured me and wormed out the fact that I didn't love Evangeline. Said it was impossible. Billy sitting on arm of chair center during preceding speech. Well? Well, she ended by swearing she'd stop it. Of course, I thought it was all chaff. But you see, well, she wanted to choke Evangeline off me. Billy after slight pause. Well, she's done that all right, old chap. She'll make a wife in ten thousand. You don't imagine I'm going to. I don't know how you can help it. Any common or garden night would do as much for his lady fair. Don't be absurd. I hardly know the girl. It's absurd. Edward, some of the biggest acts of genius have been performed in the space of a single instant. I've told her I never want to see her again. Good Lord, what did you do and ask an iron thing like that for? I insulted her and made a perfect fool of myself. She'll never forgive me. Look here, old man. This room's too small for you. You'd better come out for a stroll. Up to Edward. Edward looking at the window. No, no, I... Come on out and have a drink. You'll only get the blues if you stop in. Edward turning his head and looking at Billy. The blues? Struck by the word. Yes, the blues. Edward to Billy. Yes, she said I should get the blues. Well, she was right. Come along out and we'll fix things up in the morning. Crosses to door right. Edward with another look at window. Room stuffy. I'll just open the window. Goes up to window, opens it and looks out. Billy by the door. No, she won't, Teddy. Not again tonight. Yes, I think I could do with a drink. Enter Mrs. Hargraves right. Hello, Billy. Hello, Mrs. Hargraves. Well, Edward, did you get my note? Yes, mother. Are you going out? Yes, ten minutes drink or straw just round the corner. Excellent, Edward and Billy right. Mrs. Hargraves goes up to shut window and appears out window. Mrs. Hargraves genuinely surprised but relieved. Miss Anning? Good heavens. Enter Anne through window. Good evening, Mrs. Hargraves. Smiling whimsically. Dear me, what a fright you gave me. I thought you were a burglar. I'm so awfully sorry. How on earth did you— I just came along the fire escape. There, I told Edward they were dangerous. Anne, smiling. I wonder if they are. But what on earth made you— She stops as a sudden idea strikes her. It's really easier from the next flat. Is it? Mrs. Hargraves, it's not the first time I've braved the danger of that fire escape. Oh? I came in last night. Last night? After you'd gone to bed. What in the world did Edward say? He was a little surprised, I think. A little? My poor dear son must have been paralyzed. Sit center. I rather expected he would be. Why? I'd read his book. Oh, of course. I wonder why he didn't consult you. Neil's at chair right of Mrs. Hargraves. How do you know he didn't? He couldn't have possibly made such mistakes. He's very, very young. I think he's just the youngest thing I've ever met. My dear, he's been a very grave anxiety. He must have been. You see, as a parson's wife, I was so handicapped. Exactly. And now, through this absurd episode, I can't even get him safely married. Of course. One feels sorry for poor Miss Lipscomb, but… Sorry. I'm not at all sorry for her. Why should she jump to conclusions? A girl brought up in a cathedral town, too. That must be the limit. Of course. As Edward's mother, I was convulsed with the joke. You do think it was quite harmless? Yes, of course. It wasn't exactly on the level. I wouldn't have missed it for worlds. And I'm not at all sure I shall mind if Evangeline never recovers from the shock. Why? Because I feel sure I could never let him marry a woman so utterly lacking in humor. Ann embracing her suddenly. Oh, I'm so glad. Ann begins to cry softly. Mrs. Hargraves bends over her. My dear, what on earth's the matter? You're the matter.  I wonder why you married a parson. Every woman has her responsibilities. He is my most adorable responsibility after my boy. Ann nervously, rising and going down right a little. Mrs. Hargraves, I've got to tell you something. Those, those. Pointing to her belongings. Those things are mine. Mrs. Hargraves, after a slight pause and with quiet good humor. I know. You know? Yes, I've known all the time. But how? Mrs. Hargraves smiling. The favorite scent. Ann smiling. I'd wondered if I put enough. Enough? Enough to sink a nation? You wanted me to know? Rises and goes to her. Why, of course. Oh, wasn't it a perfectly lovely idea? Rather unusually daring. But why did you do it? I did, so I wanted to get Edward out of the awful engagement. But how could you? Last night I got it all out of him, and when I heard she'd accepted him over the phone, that just finished me. I'm afraid I agree with you. I told him a girl who'd missed such a lovely moment over an old phone would rather make his life a, well, you know what? Yes, I know what. I quite understand. But why are you so interested in my boy? Sits on Chesterfield and kneels left of Mrs. Hargraves. I wanted to know if your son was as white as the soul of his own book. And you found? I found what was better, a child's soul with a human understanding. A child's soul in a man's body. That's why I love your son, Mrs. Hargraves. I fell in love with the writer of the story. Then I discovered he lived here and I fell in love with the real man. By the way, dear, how did you get to know him? Anne, with a little burst of laughter. I had to fall out of a punt to introduce myself. I wonder if he'll ever love you. Don't wonder. He does. I wonder if he knows. Not yet. Enter Dean Wright. He carries the cushion with both hands and is looking extremely worried. He starts as he sees Anne. Good evening, Mr. Dean. Rises crosses to Dean. Mrs. Hargraves rises. My dear Samuel, what on earth are you doing with that cushion? I have... Ignoring Anne. Discovered a clue. Mrs. Hargraves, seeing what has happened, takes things off chair. You've not said good evening to Miss Anneing. Much as I regret it, I do not see fit to address Miss Anneing. Why? Why? My dear... He pauses. No. To Anne. I will say... Good evening. Anne, with a beaming smile, shakes cushion. Good evening, Mr. Dean. I've just been telling Mrs. Hargraves how wonderfully clever I think your son is. You're very good. But what I was about to say... He's just the nicest boy I've ever met for years. Yes, no doubt. But... My dear Samuel, I do wish you'd put that cushion down. Anne goes upstage a little. But my dear... I have come here expressly to speak about this cushion. Mrs. Hargraves rising. My dear Samuel, I have something to tell you of the greatest importance. But this is important. You can talk to me later about the cushion. Anne coming down suddenly. Oh, give her that cushion. Takes cushion and gives it to Mrs. Hargraves. Mrs. Hargraves, I'd better be going. Quite so, quite so. No, my dear. Please don't go. Wait for Edward, and when you've seen him, I want you to bring him up to see us. Kissing her. My dear, I don't think you quite appreciate who it is you are embracing. Come, Samuel. Crosses to right. Mrs. Hargraves, I think I'd like to have just a little talk with Mr. Hargraves alone. Alone? Certainly not. Mrs. Hargraves going to door. A most excellent idea. To Anne. You'll bring Edward upstairs when you've... Very well, my dear. I will talk to this young person alone. Oh, my gracious.  To Mrs. Hargraves. That is just one expression I won't stand. To Dean. No, sir. Not even from you. Mrs. Hargraves smiling. Don't let her keep you too long, Samson. Samuel. Certainly not. Certainly not. What I have to say, I shall put briefly. Ah, you don't know her. You don't know her. Exit Mrs. Hargraves laughing. A pause. The Dean draws himself up, stiffly. Now, Miss Anning. Don't you understand it was I who asked you for an interview? Good gracious.  Do you know when I first saw you, I just loved you right away. Hand on his arm. Dean taking hand off. Now it must be distinctly understood that I cannot permit myself to be weedled. What a pity. A pity? Ann putting her arm through his. I'm just too cute for anything at weedling. Dean removing her arm again. You, you, mustn't do it. Do sit down. Drags him to chair center and pushes him into it. This is not the way I had intended to conduct this interview. Rises. Do sit down and look cozy. Sits him down again. But I don't feel cozy. Rises. I'll soon fix that. Sits him down again and places cushion at his back. Dean sitting. Well, perhaps for a few brief moments. Now, listen. Hand on his shoulder. My dear miss, miss. Taking hand off. Thank you. Have you ever thought how twiddy to have a very affectionate little daughter? Hand on his shoulder. Dean removing her hand again. I've already told you I cannot permit it. Oh, I forgot.  I feel so sorry for you. Yes, yes. If we had been blessed, but... Shall I show you how it is like to have a little daughter? Yes, yes. I mean, certainly not. And at back of his chair, arms round his neck. How twiddy to be bullied and loved by me in just the most lovely way. This is not fair play. Yes, it is. Kisses him. No, she's kissed me. Of course, and she's going to do it again and again until a nasty frumpy wicked dear, dearer, dearest, sweet old darling Dean smiles just evermore. You know this is not the way deans are treated. Yes it is. Now, smile. I shall not smile. Dean catches Anne's eye and smiles. Looks stern immediately then smiles a second time. Anne as Dean smiles the second time. Oh, you wicked old story. You are smiling. Well, for a few brief moments, perhaps. I was thinking of a funny little story I read in the Athenaeum. Now, laugh. I shall certainly not laugh. Anne runs up to Dean, takes him by both hands, pulls him up and round to left center. Both laughing heartily. The laugh is worked up. The Dean quite suddenly stops short and pulls himself together. When he stops, Anne stops at the same time. Rumpf. And I actually took you for one of the foolish versions. My gracious me, you never mean to say you thought that?  Well, maybe. This was a most unseemly proceeding. Was it? Most. You know that kiss. If my dear wife. Tell me, have you ever studied my sex? Not often. I mean only once, my dear wife. Anne shaking her head. You tried, but all the time she has just been studying you. That's what always happens with a really beautiful character, like Mrs. Hargraves. Oh, yes, perhaps you're right. Don't you think she knows best what you want? Both her hands on his shoulders. Yes, yes, we will consult her together. Anne puts her arm through his and they walk over right center. Anne as they cross. I would, right now. Worn lights. But, but you know, you weedled me. Anne, smiling. Yes, I weedled you. You deliberately made love to me. Yes, to me. Ah, nobody can make love. Love just makes itself. I wonder. You asked Mrs. Hargraves. She knows just everything. Yes, I will consult my dear wife. Goes to door right.  Dean returns to right center. Holds out both hands. Anne returns and takes them. Anne, do you really love him? Anne bows her head. Bless you, my dear. Dean kisses her head. Then he notices the perfume. Delicious. Delicious. Exit Dean right. After Dean's exit, Anne kisses her hand towards door right. Then gives a well-contented sigh and goes over to chair left. She picks up the night dress. Telephone bell rings and continues ringing until she takes receiver off. Anne going up to telephone. All right, all right, I'm coming. She takes up receiver. Yes. Who? Miss Lipscomb. Evangeline. American Anne.  Into phone. Yes, center right up in the elevator. Puts receiver down, begins to take her hair down. May as well give her a good shock while I'm about it. She takes her hair down and ties it up with ribbon. Crosses to door, turns out light and opens door a little way, then curls up on Chesterfield. Pop up potatoes, poultry, prunes and prisms. Repeats and a half whisper. Pop up potatoes, poultry, prunes and prisms. Enter Evangeline right. She comes in quickly closing the door behind her. She looks round, surprised at the darkness, and then comes to center. Mrs. Hallgrace. Anne, putting her head up suddenly. Hello. Good evening, Miss Lipscomb. Evangeline turns to leave the room, but Anne gets to the door first. Anne at door and switching on light. Coward.  And I thought I looked perfectly fascinating. What are you doing here? And with your hair down? What are you doing here and with your hair up? Alone. Unchaperoned. I see. It was you then who left those things here. I did it to see if I could shock you. I succeeded. Then you are a… one of those awful… No, I'm not. But I'd rather be as human as one of those awful than you, see? It's the second time today, Miss Lipscomb. You arrived at the wrong conclusion. But… Anne, going up to her. There are no buts.   Up to Evangeline. How dare you say that? You… Oh, I beg your pardon. It's very likely not your own fault. But you needn't have a nasty imagination about the dear baby you got engaged to over the phone. He told you that? He couldn't help himself. Even in your prim little hands, he simply couldn't help himself.  My ow. Cats is wise. So you find it so difficult to marry. You've come round to steal the dear babe again. Pray, how long have you known him? Ever since yesterday, long enough to prevent him ruining his life. How on earth can two people fall in love in a day? Yes, you're just a sort of girl who'd take love out of eternity and tie it up in a parcel. Can't you see you're impossible? Impossible. Except as a curate's wife.  I mean, I have a natural antipathy to curates. Is that so? Comes down left, half to herself. Seems I'll have to give you some chance after all. Give me? What do you mean? If I don't, you'll never get a look in. Up to her. Indeed.  And even you might sprout in sandy soil. Sprout? I suppose I'll have to risk it. Listen, sit down. Sits her in chair. Don't touch me, please. And sitting on right arm of Chesterfield facing Evangeline. Listen, Edward Hargraves has a power of loving he's just been sitting on. He's not frittered it away like lots of men. When the lid's off, there's going to be trouble or bliss for the girl who removes that lid. I was going to do it tonight, but I'll give you the first chance. I don't understand. Yes, you do. Because you're showing the first primitive selfish symptom of love. Jealousy. I'm not jealous. Yes, you are. But only because you don't know what love really means. If you don't take this chance, you'll never get another. How do you know? Because tonight Edward Hargraves is going to find the key to his own particular personality, and one of us is going to hand him that key when the lid's off. Rising and going down left. I really fail to follow you. See here, I'll help you all I can. Gets nighty from chair left. Put on this. Advancing to Evangeline. Put on. Rising and retreating over to right. Dress the part my way. Never.  Oh, how were you brought up? Brought up? What do you mean? Afraid of wearing a nighty of her party gown. It's not that. It's the idea.  How dare you say that? It's a very smart gown. Oh, it's smart. It's too smart. You'd have twice the chance if you wore something quite proper like. Never. Very well then. Remember you're taking big risks. Nice nighty. But why use such an indelicate method? Today you let him see you were scared at a nighty. Show him tonight that you aren't really shocked. Make fun of it. Let him see that you've got a sense of humor. Maybe you'll have a chance. What am I to do? Let your hair down. Makes a grab at Evangeline's hair and lets it down.  No. Leave my hair alone, Miss Anning. How can you? Be quick. Why you've got lovely hair. Now put on this. Evangeline hesitates. If you don't, I will. Slips it on. Why, you look perfectly sweet. Yes, I dare say. But I don't like it, Miss Anning. I don't like it at all. The supposing somebody should come. Anne, as soon as nightdress is on. Now come along over here. Anne seizes Evangeline by both hands and drags her across to Chesterfield and her onto it. Now put your feet up. Curl up there. Evangeline does so under protest. Anne rushes across to door right. I'll just listen. Listen's at door. I think there's somebody coming. During the following lines Evangeline is getting more and more nervous and hysterical. Oh no, no, no. I don't want anybody to come. Don't let anyone come. Probably Edward. Oh no, not Edward. Don't say it's Edward. Why, don't you love him? No, yes. I do. No, I don't. Well, perhaps I do a little. No, I don't. And I won't. Gets off sofa and tears off nightdress, which she leaves on stage, down left. Spusting garment away. Take it away, I say.  How could I do such a thing? How could you ever have persuaded me to do anything so awful? Do you realize that even my very own father has never seen me at such a costume? What would people say? What would the congregation say? You abominable girl. Snatched his rat from Anne and goes off right. Exit Evangeline right. There is a pause after Evangeline's exit. Well, I guess generosity does pay off after all. My poor nightie. Picks up nightdress and kisses it, then begins to put it on. Nightie's all right. Guess it depends who's inside it. Laughing. Gee, she did look a sight. She puts on nightdress, standing on Chesterfield to see herself in mirror, then walks across to her right, admiring her train. Picks up book from table and seats herself center. Hannah's honeymoon. His book. Kisses book then reads. Hannah understood then what she'd never realized before. That the delicate allusion of a successful engagement are the delicate allusions of a successful marriage. Kisses the page. Gee, he does understand some things. Bell. Anne runs to Dorn switches off light, then goes to Chesterfield, pulls it round obliquely by fire and lies down. Edward is heard speaking to Billy, and jumps up. Billy! Anne, you're no coward. Runs to back of stage, picks up drapery, goes back to sofa, puts drapery over her feet, then falls back on cushions and pretends to be asleep. And her Billy, followed by Edward, right. Edward thoughtfully crosses to sofa. Billy turns upstage to window. Billy looking out of window. Think that joy might have come through this window. Edward sees Anne is struck motionless, then he suddenly runs upstage silently to Billy and drives him down to center. Seeing Anne on Chesterfield. Great Scott! Edward creeps on Tiptoe to above Seti. Billy follows on Tiptoe to foot of Seti. She's sound asleep. That maternal aunt, what a study. What on earth? How the... Well, of all the lucky beggars, I think you were the luckiest.  What am I? How on earth? Billy, still looking at Anne. Isn't she a perfect darling? Billy, for heaven's sake, what am I to do? Edward, I shall get riled with you in a minute. I wish the mother would come in. Dear old mother.  You can't deny it's awkward. Awkward? What's awkward? Why will she do such outrageous things? Oh my good man, we're all your ancestors, Puritans. Can't you suggest something? I think you're the most ungrateful devil I ever met. He was a perfectly gorgeous gift from heaven's fall through the window from America and... Confound it all. I know all that, but I'm not even engaged to her yet. Billy, in your door right. Do you want me to hold your hand? I say I wish you'd get out. Ha, that's better. That's much better. Exit Billy right, laughing. Edward switches up light and crosses to back of Chesterfield. Looks down at Anne. Edward, after pause, sternly. You know you're not asleep. Well, you know best. Opening her eyes to speak, then closing them again. I suppose you grasped what Billy was thinking. Anne, she starts getting up. Ho! Oh!  Comes round to right end of Chesterfield. Why? Sitting back in great alarm. Why?  Coming here at this time in. Like that. In that. Anne, sitting up and facing him, hands folded. Please, I thought. Look here, I'm going out to post the letter. If you're not gone when I come back, I shall. He pauses. Inspiration failing him. I shall. Well, what will you do?  Anne, with a fascinating smile. No, am I? That hair is. Is it?  That's not all you're losing. Look here, you know, this is beyond a joke. Beyond a joke. Anne, getting up suddenly. No, it isn't. She takes off nightdress to his blank amazement, and wriggling out of it, lets it fall to her feet. It's just the joke with no beyond. Crosses to right center cheekily. Edward, with set teeth, coming close to her center. Yes, you're right. It is the joke with no beyond. Please understand you've made a fool of me for the last time. Music played through dialogue till curtain. Oh, oh, very well, I'll go. Anne goes up to window. Turns, comes down to Edward and holds out her hand. Goodbye, Mr. Englishman. Edward stands with back to her, and takes no notice. Anne goes up to window, looks around at Edward, then comes right down again, center.  She turns up to window again. Stop. He goes up to her, takes her by both hands, and brings her down center. Don't go. I can't let you go. I... I... Well? I'm awake. I'm alive. I'm in love. Maybe. Edward, taking her in his arms, center. Anne. Anne. Embrace. Music swells. Curtain. End of act three. End of Anne by Lechmer Whirl.


Closed up really well to reel that one in and on the folly, just wide from Yeti and Makoto. Simmons goes down, and what a save by Jamie Young to cutbacks could build up against Simmons. And here's Makoto feeding off the scraps, not as eye-catching as his goal against the Mariners last week, but they all count. Western United, Selo stealing it around at the bottom, and a shout for that against Riston. They push for a second goal, truckers own, teammate Yeti and Makoto, here's Trio Reign. He went across the face from Bosunowski with ease, the cutback. Four matches for Brandon Bramolo, and the absence of that recognised number nine is doing a pretty good job, however, but that's a material. Carl Legger driving into the box, totally standing so strong. Now he wears a Pagani, calls time, and it's the first win since New Year's Day for the Western Sydney Wanderers. The high fives, the back slaps, Yeti and Makoto proved to be the match winner.


In this video, I'm going to be talking about Discord as it compares to Facebook groups as a place to host online communities. Now, you may be a member of lots of Facebook groups and wonder what all the fuss is about Discord because there is a growing number of people that are moving their communities from Facebook to Discord and indeed other platforms as well. But what is it that is driving that and why is it that some people are feeling that their communities could be hosted on better platforms than Facebook groups? Well, you may have encountered some of the potential issues with Facebook groups or on the other hand, you may have just sort of been going along with it thinking that that is the way that things should be and need to be without realizing that there is another alternative. I myself have been in countless Facebook groups. I literally don't know how many I'm in. I haven't counted them up, but I am a member of a lot of them and that is possibly one of the reasons why so many people do use Facebook as their sort of first idea when they think about, right, well, we've got a collection, you know, a group of people that we want to bring together and have a sort of collective online. Then where should we do that? Well, everyone's on Facebook. Everyone knows how Facebook groups work. So let's all come together and create a Facebook group. It's great. It's possibly arguably a little bit lazy as well because it's not necessarily the best place for it. And so I'm just coming out with my cards on the table here that I'm not a huge fan. Now that I've seen that there is another way to do these sorts of things. So we'll be talking about Discord from the point of view of specifically, let me just get this straight, why I think it is better than Facebook to host your community. The top thing about this is we've talked about Facebook being, you know, it's ubiquitous. Everybody's on Facebook. But one of the things about Facebook is it does have this endless scroll. The aim of Facebook is to keep you on Facebook so that they can obviously serve you ads and things like that. So we just want to keep you on that platform. And I know that that's the same for lots of other things. It's the same for YouTube, you know. We want, as YouTubers, we want, you know, people to continue to watch our videos. YouTube wants to keep people on YouTube as well for exactly the same reasons. So I'm not disputing that for one minute. But when it comes to a community space, that's not necessarily the kind of driving force that we want to be actually, you know, driving the interactions that we're having in the community space that we're trying to create. So Facebook are basically applying that same sort of scrolling idea to all of the conversations that are going on in your community, in your Facebook group. And that's just simply not natural, is it? It's not natural to just come in and listen to, you know, who's talking the loudest or the people that are having a conversation right at the front and ignoring everything that's happened, you know, maybe yesterday, depending on how big the group was, the conversations from yesterday can easily get lost. And if you just don't scroll down enough, you're not gonna see all of that great information. So it's not got a great deal of sort of discoverability, apart from what's the latest thing that people are talking about. That also brings me on to then the sort of general organization. It is just a stream of posts of things like that. And again, in no particular order, it's not in total date order either because you might end up with a post that was three years ago. Somebody's just chimed in with their opinion or comment on it. And then that one comes rising to the top of the list as well. It's just not the best way to organize things in my mind because there is no organization there. Then it comes to the idea of search and finding things. Technically, yes, we do have a search function in Facebook, but I don't know about you. I've never really found it that great. Depending on the group you're in, you know, if you only got a few posts or it's not a very active group or something, the mileage may vary on this, but whenever I've tried to find stuff in the sort of popular groups that I am a member of, it's been quite tricky to find what I'm looking for if I've tried to search for it. And often I'll see a post and then I'll think, you know, later on, maybe a few days later or something, maybe someone asks me about it. And I think, oh, there was definitely a post about that in that group. I'll do a quick search, no luck, can't find it. I'll try maybe to scroll. Again, depending on how active the group is, you could be scrolling for a long time, totally miss the post or not be able to find it. Again, it's reliant on actually seeing it and so it's a little bit tricky. Sometimes it's a post that I might have commented on or someone commented on my behalf mentioned me in it or something like that. And then it's a case of going through my Facebook notifications and trying to find the one from my notification history. Again, more scrolling to try to get to it. This is another sort of thing about it as well. Because people are on Facebook for lots of other things and because it is just intended to, you know, keep people scrolling. You really don't have the focus when people go to Facebook and I'm speaking from personal experience here. If I think, right, I'm gonna go and check out, you know, the Ecamm Live group, for example. I might go to Facebook to go to the Ecamm Live group, but straight away I'm presented with things that, you know, Facebook has engaged that I probably want to have a look at. So, you know, this is straight away before I've even got to the point of going into the group. It's already trying to catch me with this scrolling content and things like that. And the same for if I go to notifications, trying to find any notifications relative to the group. It's just one big pot, basically, where I'm getting all of the notifications together and so there is no sort of focus. So it does lack this sort of focus. By contrast, let's just come and have a look at an example of a server. And a fine example of a server, not the best one, I should say, but still a good first attempt would be my server. So that is at takeonetech.io slash Discord. So obviously there's a bit of conditioning going on here. I'm trying to explain to you why I think that this is a good place to grow my online community. But if I come over to my Discord server, the thing that is different, and by the way, I've done a video all about sort of the way that you can organize things in terms of the server is just another name for my community, my home, my place that I'm inviting you into.  It's just the place to host your community. So consider it the equivalent of the group part of Facebook group. So this is just my little group. And then you've got different ways to organize things. So already we've got something that is lacking in Facebook, which is that we do have all of these different sort of groupings of the conversations that people can have. So the thing about my particular channel, so having a Discord server for my channel makes a lot more sense than a Facebook group because the other thing about Facebook group is you might want to have different topics and things like that that are covered. And certainly on my channel, I mean, I've covered all sorts of things like Mac automation, I'm talking about Discord right now, obviously, but I've also talked about Stream Deck and Ecamm Live together and separately on a number of occasions, like over 100 plus videos on just those two things. But then I talk about other things like, for example, SetApp. So people are finding my content for different reasons and with SetApp, I've got a whole series of videos that are just on the SetApp apps. So there may be people who watch my videos, who subscribe, who may be really only interested in that, maybe they don't use Ecamm Live, they don't use Stream Deck and they're just interested in the SetApp stuff or maybe just the automation stuff. Well, if we were in a Facebook group with everyone all sort of thrown into the mix together, then people would be coming to that feed in that group and some of it would just seem like, well, I'm not really interested in any of this. Whereas with Discord, we can be very intentional about the groupings of things. So for example, if I scroll down here, the channel obviously take one tech. So lots of tech talk basically, but it is now split up into, yeah, all the people who like my Ecamm Live videos, then we've got a section there to talk about Ecamm Live stuff. The people who like Stream Deck, that is there for them too. Productivity, I do talk about YouTube analytics and monetization and stuff like that, more so in my live streams, my weekly updates that I do. So that is a place to talk about that. Obviously just started producing my courses. So Ecamm Live Masterclass for one, that is something that I'm doing on Kajabi. So we do more content around that. So the point is, we've got this organizational structure here that is just completely lacking in Facebook. So that is a great reason to consider something like Discord because you can then go into these conversations. And what you'll also notice is, there is nothing jumping out at me trying to distract me. If I am somebody who's coming into here wanting to learn about something or engage about something or join in the conversation about something, then I can just go to the specific point that I have an interest in without just being bombarded with all of the other stuff together. The other thing that is great about Discord is you can also segment people as well. So you could have little subgroups for things so that people could say, well, I'm only interested in certain things and so they only get access to certain things. So where I've mentioned about, obviously about these separate things for Ecamm Live, Stream Deck, Automation, all that sort of stuff, people could actually select just the ones that they want to see so that these ones don't even appear for them if that is what they wanted. But you can also create separate spaces. So for example, with my Ecamm Live Masterclass, when people sign up to that, then they do get access to the Ecamm Live Masterclass area of the Discord server. So that is kind of like a sort of member's only area. Same with my Buy Me A Coffee. So it's a good time to mention that. BuyMeACoffee.com slash take one tech. That's the best way to support the channel on a one-off or ongoing basis. And so if people have joined the Buy Me A Coffee membership over there, then they get access to some specific areas of the server that aren't available to everyone else. So you can actually arrange people into different membership tiers, things like that, or just give them access, as I say, to things like courses where you want a little community around that specific course for people who are attending it. So there's lots of ways that you can work with this with different roles and things like that. You still do have the ability in Discord to tag people. So people who are in the server, you can actually tag them and so that they will see those notifications. And that there, again, is coming back to this whole thing of focus because rather than looking at Facebook and seeing a notification about every single group that you remember of and all of your personal Facebook notifications just all mashed together in one big long list. Here, when you come into the server, it will actually say the notifications that you have. And so if you were mentioned in anything in that server, so people can be a lot more intentional about what they're doing. I mean, part of my thing with productivity that I focus on with my, you know, my own task management and things like that, one of the big lessons that you'll get from David Allen's Getting Things Done is the whole thing of context to all of the tasks that you have to do, which is you don't want to be presented with all of the tasks that you've got on your task list when A, you can't necessarily do them because you don't have all the things you need at that particular time or they're just not relevant to the task in hand as it were. And so that I think translates quite nicely over to Discord as well, which is I don't want to see the notifications of everything that's going on in my life on Facebook just because I happen to come to this particular group. I only want to see the notifications that are relevant to this group if I'm being intentional about coming here. So that is another thing that you'll get in Discord is the sort of notifications. You can also be very intentional about what you're doing in particular channels as well. So you could turn off notifications on certain things and only be shown the things that matter to you. And you can also just sort of hide any things in this side column that you are not in the sidebar that you're not actually interested in or you don't want to receive notifications about. So the final thing though is the fact that it's not just a place for chat in terms of text chat and talk and things like that, like you've got in Facebook. Obviously with Facebook you can do live streams into a particular group. Well, you can do that in here as well but you can actually go one step further because you can actually do full on video calls. And that might be that you want to be able to allow your community to come together just to have a general call like as if it was a Zoom call. But you can also do it if you were going to be doing a presentation or the equivalent of a live stream where you were the one that was streaming and you don't necessarily want everyone else to be jumping up. So you could actually just do effectively a live stream into one of the video channels in there as well. There's also, I'll just mention this one as well, there's also the ability to do effectively the same as Clubhouse. So you can have a sort of voice, it's not called a voice channel but something similar to Clubhouse whereby you can have an audio only event where you can still invite people up. So effectively it's Clubhouse, potentially Zoom, it's kind of live streaming as well, all wrapped into this with all of the messaging and things like that. All in all, I feel it's just a much better sort of organizational structure to it. Now I did do a video previously which was sort of giving it an overview of Discord. So definitely check that one out if you haven't already. But this is basically just a very sort of high level of the reasons why I think that this is a sort of better approach to managing a community and hosting a community than with Facebook groups. Now there is a much better resource than my channel to find out all about that and that is Discord for Creators. Now what I'll do is I'll leave a link to the playlist which contains a lot of Discord for Creators videos over on the right hand side and you can become enlightened as I did after I discovered it.


Hey everyone, and I know, I know you've missed me, but I am back for Mons Mondays, don't worry, I am delivering the goods once again, as always. Love Island stars Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland are set to go on the next episode of Just Tattoo of Us and have revealed what their worst tattoo would be. Let's take a look.  I think it would be something like really visible, like if you tattoo something on my face or something, then I'd just die. Yeah, but you've had a picture of me, like, somewhere on you, and then when I'm doing the business, and I'm just like, I can casually see myself on you. That's weird. That's what I mean, I wouldn't want that at all. Actually, you must be really scared, you know, because I don't know what it's going to be and you're saying that you're more than lucky yourself. R&B star Miguel reveals who he feels so blessed to have collaborated with. Dua Lipa is one of my favorites because she's right at the beginning of her career, so to be a part of that story and to just watch her take it and just run and to see her just kill it, that's what's cool about it. He also discussed with us his upcoming album and revealed who his ultimate girl crush was growing up. The album is just really about wanting to be mindful of what's happening in the ethos of the world and wanting to stay positive and to have a good time and enjoy life. I think we're all being kind of pulled in those opposite directions and it's okay and it's going to be okay. But then to collaborate with Mariah Carey, I grew up with a crush on this woman and I'm in the room now riding with her in this incredible pool of water, just like swimming with Mariah Carey, it's pretty crazy.  According to the Military Times, the crew thought they'd have a bit of fun during a trip over Washington State, only to be grounded soon after. I'm sure they thought it was a good idea at the time. Vice Admiral Mike Shoemaker, who was a commander of the US Naval Air Force, is said of the whole thing. The American people rightfully expect that those who wear the wings of gold exhibit a level of maturity, rightly so.  I mean we could also look at this as a potential skill, no? So the moral of the story, maybe don't draw phallic matters in quite such a public place next time. Thanks so much for watching guys and yes, yes, I will be back next week, so I'll see you then.


News Update. Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industrial's finished down 85, Nasdaq up 52, S&P's flat. Gold, gold contract caught a bid as well as silver and platinum. You had gold up 33 dollars traded at 1809, silver up 27 cents, 20 dollars 17 cents, platinum up 38 at 936. That being said, Lightsweak crude takes the hit in the other way. Down 234, trading at 88, 32, notes and bonds. They're on the move top side once again. You get the 10 year up 25 ticks. That's trading out at 120, 28, the 30 up a full point plus three ticks at 143, 29. 10 year right now is yielding 2.65. So take a look at the last three months, the lows 2.57, the highs 3.47. You can see that's a huge spread man. And Kingdollar, Kingdollar just couldn't handle price out here today. Down 786 trading 105, 727, Euro 102, yen at 132 and the British pound at 121 to one US dollar.  So take a look at this dollar folks, okay? So the dollar, bottom line, goes south today. Didn't give the market much breathing room but I suspect it looks to me like it's gonna go south more tomorrow. If we get a wide price move tomorrow and the dollar, when I say a wide price move you gotta get like seven or 800 ticks again, okay? But if that's what we get, y'all gonna have a decisive break that could bring the dollar down to the 95 area. That'll take a while. But you can see right now the 106 to, no the trend is no 105, 103. 105, 103 is a break of the longer term trend line that goes all the way back to February 15th. We already broke the trend that started at 101.668. So it's saying it's gonna go to 101.668. And that is also one of the impotences why I think that we've already reached a low that the bottom line, we're off the low and you're gonna continue to higher price, man. That's how this is set up. So, and you know, as I said a little bit earlier yesterday is that a lot of this has to do with a lot of these high flying equities who have already been down 60 or 70%. So monster move, man. Have a great night, folks. Have a safe night. Come back and visit Tommy tomorrow morning. Nine o'clock kicks us off. Don't forget about Basel's workshop. It's a week from yesterday.  It's right under featured content. Have a great one, folks. Have a safe one.


When organizations enter foreign markets, they make decisions about which regions, countries, markets and or segments to target, as marketers will talk about the market selection process, and a number of factors will influence our choice. Let us start by listing the learning goals for this video. Firstly, we will address what the connection with the rest of an organization's internationalization process is. Secondly, we will look at how we can compare and evaluate different countries or markets, so that we are able to make an informed choice of which one to select. Finally, since no two organizations are the same, and their behavior is very different, we will provide an overview of some different approaches to a market selection process. So let us begin. What is the connection to the rest of an organization's internationalization process? When an organization goes from marketing their products and services only on their home market, to also target one or several foreign markets in different countries or regions, we talk about an organization's internationalization process. An organization's internationalization process starts with the choice of which foreign markets to target. We call this the market selection process. Secondly, we would need to address how to organize the entry to the foreign market. Here we discuss which entry mode to use, and many factors will influence our decision. Ultimately, we would define our marketing mix, the four or the seven Ps, for the foreign market. The marketing mix we use on the foreign markets may vary to the ones we use on the home market. We would address issues regarding standardization and or adaptation of the marketing mix. The initial market selection is what we will address with this video. So how can we go about making an informed choice of which foreign market to enter? Let us use an example. This French business produces French cakes and desserts. In these modern production facilities, well-educated confectioners develop recipes and create delicious cakes and desserts. The cakes and desserts are frozen immediately after production and are then distributed to a variety of catering companies, restaurants and cafes around France. French cakes would like to expand their business to international markets and their eyes are set on either the UK or Denmark. They have some but very limited experience in these two countries and they have asked for our professional advice on which of the two markets to go for. So what should influence our choice between these two countries? Firstly, we will investigate the market attractiveness, how attractive each market is for French cakes to enter. Secondly, we will investigate the company's competitive strength in each of the two markets. We will then use these findings to plot the two investigated markets into a matrix in order to provide an overview. Finally, we will look at French cakes' internal situation in order to determine their capabilities to serve either market. We would conduct extensive secondary and primary research in order to gain valuable insights for the comparison of the two markets attractiveness. So let us look at some of the factors we can use to compare the two markets attractiveness. Looking at the country's general economic and political stability can provide us with knowledge about the general prospects of doing business in either country. Both countries are rated well but the UK slightly lower so we will give the UK two stars and Denmark three to indicate that if compared on this factor Denmark is the most attractive. The physical distance from the home market has an impact on costs for travel and distribution and could also influence delivery times depending on the distribution setup. The UK market is closer to France than Denmark making the UK more attractive measured on this factor. Psychic distance addresses the perceived distance, how close or distant French cakes feels to either market. They have revealed to us that they understand the British business culture better than the Danish one. Therefore they feel a shorter psychic distance to the UK than to Denmark. Market trends in Denmark are showing an increased demand for organic and so called healthy cakes a business area that French cakes have experimented with before but which proved unsuccessful in France. The Danish trend is very interesting to French cakes. In the UK trends in the catering industry is showing increased demand for frozen cakes and desserts. The market size of this industry can be measured by looking at official statistics for the industry in each market. The UK market is much larger than the Danish market which makes the UK more attractive measured on this factor. Market growth rates tells us something about the potential for French cakes to establish themselves and grow in the market and it turns out that the UK shows growth rates in the market for cakes and desserts that are slightly higher than Denmark. An investigation into the average contribution margins and general profitabilities of the already established companies in each market shows that business is tough and equally so in both markets. So now we are able to visit our matrix and place the two markets on the y-axis based on the scores we have assigned them each on the evaluation of their market attractiveness. Out of 21 stars possible, Denmark reached 12 stars in total and the UK reached 16 stars in total. Therefore Denmark will be placed in the middle region of the y-axis and the UK will be placed in the upper region. The UK seems the better choice at this stage but not until after we have addressed French cakes competitive strength where we know each market's final position in our matrix. So let us move on. Now we will evaluate French cakes competitive strength on each of the two markets. Firstly, French cakes current market share in each market has an obvious influence on how strong their competitive position is. They have established a small market share in the UK. It is however almost undetectable so let us provide half a bicep for this score. In Denmark the market share is non-existent. They have only had small sporadic export orders. French cakes current financial results for each market will show the extent to which they have been able to conduct a profitable business in other market. And it turns out that although almost insignificant at this stage they have made a small profit in both markets. Access to distribution channels is very important to gain a foothold on a new market. If all available channels are heavily guarded by strong competitor to network relationships this will negatively influence French cakes competitive strength. In the UK although it is still early days French cakes have managed to gain access to a distribution channel since they have started dealing through an agent with a promising network. In Denmark they have no access as of yet since sales have been through sporadic direct export only. Competitive strength is also affected by how well a company's product fits to the market demands. French cakes cakes and desserts have been reported to fit both markets well and the UK slightly better. Country specific know-how is also important in gaining competitive strength. As French cakes have started to gain knowledge through their dealings with a local agent they have some but still very limited know-how in the UK. Denmark is still unknown territory. So now we are able to visit our matrix again and place the two markets on the X axis based on the scores we have assigned them for competitive strength. Before we do so please note that the X axis points the opposite way to what you might expect. It's illustrated here by the order of the awarded biceps. We used five factors enabling a maximum score of 15 biceps. Denmark reached only 1.5 biceps and the UK reached a slightly better 4.5 biceps. Denmark was placed in the middle position on market attractiveness and with the 1.5 biceps for competitive strength we will slide the Danish flag to this position. The UK was placed in the upper region on market attractiveness and with 4.5 biceps we will slide the UK flag to this position. This exercise has given us a good overview of the two options and we're able to say that the UK seems to be the better choice. However before we suggest that French cakes goes ahead we would recommend that they look at some internal factors. We would recommend that they consider their available skills and resources within the company. Do they have the required financial resources to undertake a more serious expansion in the UK? And do they have the right people with the right skills in establishing the entry? Secondly we would recommend that they consider their product adaptation capabilities. Firstly addressing whether or not the existing products would need some adaptations to suit the British market and if so whether this is something they're both willing and able to carry out. And finally we would recommend that the French cakes identify sources of competitive advantage relevant to the UK market before going ahead with the next steps of the process. So a combination of factors addressing the market attractiveness of each market the company's competitive strength in each market as well as the company's capabilities should all influence the choice of which market or country to target. And we can also say that the more systematic the selection process can be carried out the more informed the final choice can be. We have now established what the market selection process is and how it is connected to the rest of an organization's internationalization process. And we have gained knowledge of how to compare and evaluate two proposed markets by addressing a combination of different factors. So let us move on to the final part of this video where we will provide an overview of different approaches to a market or country selection process. Although no two companies follow the exact same process as marketers we often talk about these three different types of market selection approaches. The reactive approach explains those situations where the international markets are not proactively chosen. The so-called selection process is instead characterized by being purely reactive to external drivers. If for example a wholesaler in Denmark contacts French cakes and inquires about a supplier French cakes and desserts this could be the first step to a reactive market selection for French cakes. The neighbor approach explains those situations where the international markets close to home markets are selected. The selection criteria is either a low geographic, psychic or cultural distance to the home market. The systematic or analytical approach implies a more complex and thorough process and resources are needed to allow for the collection of required secondary and primary data. Marketers most often recommend this approach as the one that provides the most informed decisions of which countries and markets to target. In theory the screening of markets begins with the world market as an option and ends with a narrowly defined target market within one or several selected countries. The process includes several steps. It starts with a selection of macro segmentation criteria and the development of macro segments. This is followed by a thorough screening process of selected segments or countries. This is much the same as the evaluation we carried out in our example only potentially more detailed. And finally, micro segments in one or more selected countries are developed and chosen between. The extent and depth of this approach is often adapted to suit the resources available to the company. Often we will find that when companies select new markets to enter they use a combination and adaptation of these different approaches to suit their needs and available resources. The systematic approach in a more or less detailed version is the one usually recommended by marketers. We have now completed the learning goals of this video by providing an overview of the different approaches to a market selection process. If you want to learn more about internationalization, the market selection process, entry mode decision or the global marketing mix or about other marketing related subjects then I suggest that you watch additional videos on my channel. To further support and substantiate your learning I recommend that you read Global Marketing by Sven Hollinsen as well as Principles and Practices of Marketing by Job Barnett as Chadwick and if you're able to read Danish international market-surfing by Rulihet Andersen and others. My name is Tina Wade. Thank you for watching.
