Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Betty Davis and Gregory Peck in Now Voyager. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keely. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The title of tonight's play comes from two lines by Walt Whitman, suggesting that to find life's riches, one must often have the courage to search far afield. To little Betty Davis, when I first knew her in New York, Hollywood must have seemed a distant and unlikely destination. But Betty had spunk as well as talent. She came, she saw, she conquered. And in Warner Brothers' great dramatic hit Now Voyager, she conquered not only Hollywood, but the hearts of all America. Betty appears tonight in her original screen role as the woman who sacrifices everything for love. And co-starred with her is another favorite of ours and yours, Gregory Peck, whose early reappearance was requested, I might say demanded, in so many welcome letters, letters which have been so helpful in our selection of plays and casts. One letter from our audience tells us a story that I'd like to pass along to you. It's from Mrs. Edith Park of San Antonio, who says, I am 68 years old today. And 54 years ago, I started crocheting an afghan. I worked on it off and on and finally finished it, and it was in constant use for years. When it finally stretched out of shape, I couldn't bear to destroy it. So I unraveled the yarn, wound it on skeins, and washed it in Lux Flakes. It came out soft and beautiful. So nice you would almost think I bought it today. I'm so delighted I wanted to let everybody know about it. Thanks so much for Lux Flakes. Thanks so much to you, Mrs. Park. And may I offer our belated but happiest birthday wishes. The lights of our theater are dimmed, and here's the first act of Now Voyager, starring Betty Davis as Charlotte Vale and Gregory Peck as Jerry Dunnance, with Joseph Kearns as Dr. Jackwith and Janet Scott as Mrs. Vale. Untold want by life and land near granted. Now Voyager, sail our forth to seek and find. I heard those words for the first time over a year ago from Dr. Jackwith in my room at a sanitarium. I knew what he meant. I had been there three months and now I was ready to leave. I seemed to be well again, but how could he be sure? How could I be sure? I wonder what Dr. Jackwith thought of me the day Lisa, my sister, brought him to our house. I remember the way he stood in the drawing room, smiling at me so gently.  It was not mother's idea to bring Dr. Jackwith to see me. Mother believed only in strength, never in weakness. What was it she said that day? Oh, yes. She said, I'm ashamed of you, Charlotte. I'm ashamed of you, Charlotte. It was Lisa's suggestion to bring Dr. Jackwith here. Not mine. Your sister says that your recent peculiarities, your fits of crying, indicated you're on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Is that what you're trying to achieve? Well, Charlotte, has the cat got your tongue? Mother, please. Be quiet, Lisa. Charlotte, Dr. Jackwith has a sanatorium in Vermont, I believe. Probably one of those places with a high wire fence and yowling inmates. Mrs. Vale, I wouldn't want anyone to have that mistaken notion. A cascade is just a place in the country. People come there when they're tired. The very word, psychiatry. Charlotte, doesn't it feel you a shame? There's nothing shameful in my work, Mrs. Vale, or frightening or anything else.  They come to a fork in the road. They're confused. They don't know which way to take. I just put up a signpost saying, not that way. This way. Well, Charlotte, would you like Dr. Jackwith to point the way for you? I'm going upstairs. Charlotte, come back here at once. Please don't. I'd like to speak to her alone. Excuse me. Oh, Miss Charlotte, will you wait, please? Yes, Dr. Jackwith. Miss Charlotte, I wonder if I might ask you a favor.  One doesn't often get a chance to view the Vale residence. Very well. Dr. Jackwith. Thank you. Here is the room in which I was born. My mother's room. Hmm. It's a fine room. But I'd rather see what your room is like. I'm not your patient yet, Dr. Well, nobody thinks you ever will be. But, of course, if you'd rather not. It's on the floor above. When I was 17, I stayed out once until after midnight. That creaky step hasn't been fixed since. I'm not sure I know what you mean. My mother heard it. This way, Doctor. I keep my door locked. Make a note of it, Doctor. Significant, isn't it? Well, it signifies it's your door. I've never heard it said that a woman's home is not her castle. My castle, Doctor. Well, you're comfortable here, aren't you? I try to be. I'm here a good part of the time. Hello. What's this over here? A work table? Yes. I have very carving. Did you make this a grid box? Why shouldn't I? The point is how you could. I have a very real admiration for people who are clever with their hands. I was always very clumsy with my own. I would say that you're one of the least clumsy persons I've ever known. Oh, you wouldn't have to have a cigarette hidden away someplace, would you? Do you think I hide cigarettes in my room? Where do I hide them, Doctor, on the shelves behind the books? Cigarettes and medicated sherry and novels my mother would never allow me to read. Please, it was only the box that reminded me. How very perceiving you are. How very right you are. You see, I was about to hide this album. I certainly should look at it, though. It wouldn't do for you to come all the way up here and miss your amusement. Look at it, Doctor. The intimate journal of Miss Charlotte Vale, Spinster. Oh, dear. Would anything convince you that I don't wish to pry? Oh, but you must pry. I insist that you do. Here's the record of my last trip abroad with my mother. You wouldn't have known me then. I was twenty then, and I was in love. Oh, Miss Vale.  I'm not. Here's his picture. I'd never met a man like Leslie before. I'd hardly ever met a man. Leslie loved me. He wanted to marry me. But he wasn't suitable, my mother said. What man is suitable, Doctor? She's never found one. What man would ever say to me, I want you? Look at me. I'm fat. My mother disapproves of the foul derals of diet. Look at my shoes. My mother approves of sensible shoes. Look at my glasses. You'll never get another pair of eyes, my mother says. Look at the books on my shelves. My mother approves of good, solid books. I am my mother's well-loved daughter. I am my mother's companion. I am my mother's servant.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, now, now, now. Look up here.  Oh, Doctor Jackwith, when you were talking downstairs, when you talked about the fork in the road, there are other forks further along the road. So many. Yes. Put away your book and come downstairs. I'll go ahead. Just as I said, isn't it? Just nonsense. Mrs. Veil. Charlotte's no more ill than a molten canary. Of course, she's my youngest, you know. The child of my age.  I suppose it's true that all late children are mocked. Often such children are not wanted. That can mark them. Doctor Jackwith, are you telling me that... I've been trying to tell you that your daughter is seriously ill thanks to you. Thanks to me?  You couldn't have done it more completely. Oh, by having exercised her mother's rights. Oh, mother's rights, twaddle. A child has rights. To discover her own mistakes, to make her own way, to grow and blossom in her own particular soil. Are you getting into botany, Doctor? Are we flowers? I... I'm trying to help your daughter. I suggest a few weeks at Cascade. I spent three months at Cascade. Outwardly, Doctor Jackwith worked a miracle. I had lost weight. I was looking better. My hands were steady. Inwardly, I didn't know. And then came that morning when Doctor Jackwith told me I could leave. Time has come for you to get out of the nest, Charlotte. Try your own wings. You mean go home? No, no.  On your own.  Meet people, talk to them. I... I'd be afraid. The other day, I referred to a quotation. Do you remember? Yes. You said it was from Watwick. That's right. Well, I've had it looked up. He's put into words that I'd like to say to you far better than I could ever express it. He says... I sailed in three days of pleasure cruise to South America. Lisa had secured space aboard ship because a girl she knew, Rene Beauchamp, decided suddenly to go to Arizona instead. It was too late for my name to go on the passenger list, and so I was known to the deck stewards and to the head waiter as Miss Beauchamp. I dreaded the embarrassment to explain this to the passengers, so I simply avoided them and stayed in my cabin. When we reached Campos, I decided to go ashore.  As I came down the steps to the tender, I knew people were looking at me. I was panicked, you couldn't. My plucked eyebrows, my new hairdo, the lipstick I wore, my borrowed clothes. At the bottom of the ladder, a man was smiling at me. Excuse me, Miss Beauchamp. My name's Jerry Durans. It seems you've got the only shore carriage left, and the stewards suggested that you might be willing to share it with someone. I know it's an inconvenience if it's too much to say so. Well, if you can stand it, I should be able to. Oh, thank you. I've enjoyed myself today. Have you? You know, Miss Beauchamp, haven't I read about you in the newspapers, the girl who jumps horses so well, or is a tenor? You've never read about me in a newspaper. Oh, well, I'm sorry. I guess I'm mistaken. Nevertheless, you're quite different from what I expected. Please listen, Rene Beauchamp is in Arizona. I took her space at the last moment. I don't know why I'm telling you this, a stranger. No, you're the stranger. You know who I am. My name is Veil. If it ever appears on the passenger list, it will be C. Veil, Boston. One of the Veils of Boston? One of the lesser ones. Well, which one? Miss or Mrs? It's Aunt. Every family has one, you know. But Aunt what? My name is Charlotte Veil. Miss Charlotte Veil. Do you mind if we go? Well, Miss Veil, I hope I didn't offend you. You know, it's like me to blunder just when I was going to ask you for a favor. I've got some shopping to do for my daughters, and while I need a woman's help. Of course. A spinster aunt is an ideal person to select presents for young girls. Miss Veil, I wish I understood you. He wishes he understood me. He wishes. You know, I think we did very well. The jewelry is just right for Beatrice and the sweater for Tina. How old is Tina? Here, I've got a picture. This is my harem, all girls. Who is that knitting? Well, that's Isabel, my wife. The picture is very good of her. She'd only looked up and smiled. And that's Beatrice next to her. Then that must be Tina sitting cross-legged on the grass. Yes. We hope she won't have to wear glasses all her life. Tina wouldn't smile for me either.  Does Tina know she wasn't wanted? Well, there's an odd remark. Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know why I made it. Well, I mean odd because it's so close to the truth. Even before she was born, her mother... Well, never mind that. Here's a slight offering for being my guide today. It's a mixture of several kinds of flowers. It's called Jolie Fleur. Oh. Oh, thank you very much. I'll put some on my handkerchief tonight. Will you good? Let's meet in the lounge for a cocktail. All right. In my hand as I walked away was the bottle of perfume. My heart was beating wildly like a schoolgirl's. It was the first gift any man had ever given me. Hello. Hello. Sit down, Miss Bale. You know, you made a striking impression over there. She stood in the doorway looking for me. Probably put on too much lipstick. No, not that I noticed. I did notice that wrap at once. What's that? What's what? There's something on your wrap. Pinball. It's a note.  Unpin it. And read it. This cape always makes an impression. I hope it'll do the same for you. What's it mean? It means that this cape belongs to Rene Boschow. She lent it to me. Oh, I see. Your wings are borrowed. Well, they suit you just the same. No, they don't. They don't suit me at all.  You're quite right. Someone is playing a joke on me. Only it's far funnier than you realize. We aren't going, are you? Yes, please. Well, Jerry, Mack, and Deb, too. Well, how are you? Hi, Jerry. We're joining your ship. Oh, wonderful. Oh, these are my old friends, Deb, Mack, and Tyre, and Frank. And my new friend, Miss, uh, uh, Boschow. How do you do? Is this Rene Boschow? No, no, no. Another one altogether. This is, uh, uh, Camille Boschow. Excuse me, please. Good night. Good night. Oh, wait, Miss Boschow. I'll see you later, Deb. Oh, sure. Oh, why did you run out on me? Did you have to introduce me like that? Well, it wasn't up to me to let the cat out of the bag. Did I do wrong? Why did you call me Camille? Well, the only French name I could think of besides Fifi. I suppose that's meant to be funny. My wife caused my lighter moments trying to be funny. I intended to compliment her. And that dressed you rather like a comedian. Likely. You're having a very high opinion of yourself, aren't you? Perhaps this will help you know why. You showed me a photograph, now I'll show you one. A picture of my family. Family is right. Who's this, your grandmother? No, my mother. Oh, a very strong character, I'd say. And these? My brothers and their wives. Oh, they're so much older. Who's the fat lady with the heavy brows and all the hair? A spinster, aren't? Oh, but where are you taking the picture? I'm the fat lady with the heavy brows and all the hair. I'm poor Aunt Charlotte. And I've been ill. I've been in sanitary in the three months and I'm not well yet. And I... Of course. Feeling better? Much. Thanks to you. Oh, many, many thanks to you. Thanks for what? Oh, for sharing my carriage today and for walking my legs off sightseeing and for helping me feel that there were a few moments when I... when I almost felt alive. Thank you. Thank you who? Thank you, Jerry. Good night. Good night, Camille. Sleep well. In the next few days I learned about Jerry Darence, his friend Deb told me. Deb talked a great deal.  He was married. In fact, he showed me a snapshot of his family. He seemed very proud of them. He would. He's right out of the age of chivalry, that boy. If you mean thoughtful and considerate. Oh, dishwater. You don't know what I'm talking about. I'm afraid I don't. I'm talking about his home, his marriage. Honestly, when I see what a woman like Isabelle can do to a man like Jerry, it makes me boil. He doesn't have to stand for it, does he? Oh, yes he does. His kind always do. The weak have a great strength, you know, when they're clinging to something decent and fine. He's been cursed from the very first day he met Isabelle by a ruling passion not to hurt her. She's not too well, you know. There must be something more. He married her. Yes, he married her. Isabelle was a girl who believed that a kiss required a proposal. She's been draped around his neck ever since. Well, he struggled with his architecture till she made him give it up. He wasn't making enough money. The only thing he ever loved. Isabelle kept reminding him that he was now a married man with responsibilities. When they had their first child, she considered herself a great martyr and she's played the martyr ever since. That's her grasp on him. Her martyrdom, her jealousy. And when they fail, her weak heart. She can't have reason to be jealous. Oh, if you mean, does Jerry have flings with other women? No. She's jealous mostly of Tina, the child she never wanted. And yet if you could hear her sanctimonious maternal tone when she lets it leak out what a self-sacrificing mother she's been. No, Jerry doesn't know. Or if he knows, he refuses to understand and do something about it. He only insists on enduring. And so I found out that Jerry was unhappy too. Then one evening in Rio, our car broke down on the mountainside. We talked all night, Jerry and I. Toward dawn I lay down beside the fire he had built. And when he thought I was sleeping, he leaned over quietly and kissed my cheek. My boat sailed without me. The next night back at the hotel we stood on the balcony looking over the harbor. You can rejoin your crews in Buenos Aires. There's a plane going down first thing in the morning. Then there's another plane going down in five days. It'll get you there the same day as your ship. Oh. You know anybody in Buenos Aires? No. The chain to rush down there has been five days alone. But you'll be busy here. Oh, my business can wait. And we did start off for a tour. We started off for somewhere. If I promised to sit at a different table in the dining room and say good morning, Miss Vale, I hope you slept well. So people will hear me and never guess that I'm head over heels in love with you. Will you stay? Don't say no to me. Say I'll see. I'll see. I must go in now. No, not yet. Look at the harbor. Isn't it beautiful? Do you believe in immortality? I don't know. Do you? Oh, I want to believe that there's a chance for such happiness to be carried on somehow, somewhere. Are you happy then? Close to it. Getting warmer and warmer, as we used to say as kids. Remember? Look out or you'll get burned, we used to say. Are you afraid of getting burned if you get too close to happiness? I'm immune to happiness and therefore to burns. You weren't immune last night on the mountain? Do you call that happiness? Oh, small part. There are other kinds. Such as? Having fun together. Getting a kick out of simple little things. Out of beauty like this. Sharing confidence as we wouldn't share with anybody else in all the world.  Since that night on the boat when you told me about your illness, I can't get you out of my mind or out of my heart either. If I were free, there'd be only one thing I'd want to do. Prove you're not immune to happiness. Darling, you're crying.   These are only tears of gratitude. An old maze of gratitude. Don't talk like that. You see, no one ever called me darling before. Impressa Senores. Impressa Senores. Well, there's my plane. Yeah.  Oh, it don't matter. It's what's gone before. No. It's what can't go after. But we'll see each other sometime. No, we promised we're both to go home. Well, it'll help you to know I'll miss you every moment. So will I, Jerry. So will I. Impressa Senores. Impressa Senores. Goodbye, darling. Darling. Goodbye. Goodbye, Jerry. Our stars, Betty Davis and Gregory Peck, will return in act two of Now Voyager in a moment. Psychologists say that they can tell a great deal about what we've been doing by the way we associate words. For instance, if I say three, what other word do you think of, Libby? Three? Why, three strangers. Hmm, how did you arrive at that? Well, I've just seen a preview of Warner Brothers' new picture by that name. I feel thriller. I can still feel the chills going down my spine. Suppose I said three again. Oh, since we've been talking about the picture, I think of two times three, which is six. What has six to do with three strangers? Six is the number of glamorous outfits Geraldine Fitzgerald wears in the picture. I counted them. Milo Anderson designed a blue negligee for that's really the ultimate luxury. And if I still persist in saying three? Well, since we've been talking about a negligee, I'd recall that pretty underthings stay lovely three times as long when they're given gentle luxe care. Yes, there are three things to watch out for. Strong soap, hot water, and rough handling. Washing tests prove that these things make colors look faded and drab much too soon. All sorts of misfortunes can follow if slips and nighties get harsh wash day treatment. Of course, not as harrowing as the things Peter Laurie and Sidney Greenstreet experienced in the picture, head straps and burst out scenes can be a personal tragedy if it's a favorite slip, especially now when nice ones are so hard to buy. A tragedy you can avoid with luxe care. Washing tests prove that underthings washed the luxe way stayed lovely three times as long. Yes, luxe care is certainly thrifty. Luxe is thrifty in another way too. A little luxe goes a long way. Use all the luxe you need to get rich suds, but don't use more than you need. Soap is too precious these days to be wasted. Back now to William Keely, our producer. Our curtain rises on the second act of Now Voyager, starring Betty Davis as Charlotte Vale and Gregory Peck as Jerry Durance, with Joseph Kearns as Dr. Jackwith. Early in May, I returned to New York and went and once to see Dr. Jackwith. He was delighted with the change he saw in me, but even he didn't know how much I had changed or why. The final test was still to come when I went home to see Mother. I stood there outside her room, my heart beating wildly. In my mind, I kept hearing Dr. Jackwith's words. Just remember that honoring one's parents is still a pretty good idea. You're going to be a shock to her. Now, advise you to soften the blow. Give her time to get used to you. Give her time. Hello, Mother.  You're looking very well, Mother. Lisa told me you'd been ill. Lisa knows nothing about me. Step over there where I can see you. Now, turn around. It's worse than Lisa led me to suppose. Much worse. I shall be wearing my white lace gown tonight.  But, Mother, I've lost over 25 pounds. It won't fit. There's something else I want to say to you. Now that you have come home to take up your duties as a daughter again, I'm dismissing the last nurse. After having a room occupied on the same floor with me and a view of my heart, I agree it's a wise precaution. You will occupy your father's room from now on. I had William moved down all your things yesterday. Mother, you had no right to move my things. No right in my own house to move what I see fit? Mother... I think if you wear your glasses tonight, you'll be less of a shock to the others. And take off whatever you've got on your face. As to your hair and eyebrows, you can say that often after a severe illness, one loses one's hair. But you're letting yours grow as quickly as possible. Mother, if you'll excuse me. I'll go to my room. As I walked from the room, I knew the illusion was over.  This was my mother. This was my home when the bars of reality were unbending. That evening, some flowers arrived. His flowers. A box of chameleons. And with them, a renewal of my courage. Yes, Mother? What are you doing in your old room? I had my things moved back. I'm going to sleep here. Didn't you understand I wished someone to sleep in the room next to mine? We can get one of the maids, Mother, perhaps Hilda. As long as I pay the bills, I'm running this house. Please remember you're a guest, Charlotte. Well, if I am one, then please treat me like one, Mother. Your guest prefers to sleep in this room, if you don't mind. This is no time for humor. Where did those flowers come from? From New York. Who sent them? I forgot the name of the florist. In other words, you don't intend to tell me. Mother, I don't want to be disagreeable or unkind. I've come home to live with you again here in the same house. But it can't be in the same way. I've been living my own life, making my own decisions for a long while now. It's impossible to go back to being treated like a child again. Where did you get that dress? I bought it in New York today. It's outrageous. Where's the black and white for Lord? I gave it to Hilda. She was so grateful. Mother. Mother, please be fair and meet me halfway. They told me before you were born that my recompense for having a late child was the comfort the child would be to me in my old age. Especially if she were a girl. And on your first day home after six months' absence, you behave like this. Mother, wait for me. I'll go downstairs with you. Thank you. I prefer to go alone. Mother, please. You know you're not supposed to. Mother! Dora, come here quickly. Mother's fallen downstairs. She was not badly hurt or torn ligament in her ankle, but it was enough to keep her in her bed during the party. I was a great surprise to the family that night. And as they left, one of the guests stayed on to speak to me at the door. Elliot Livingston. Well, Miss Vale? Well, Mr. Livingston.  Well, as a matter of fact, we have. Once and almost twice. Oh, I'm mystified. Well, the once was when we were children. You were the only boy who danced with me at dancing school. And the almost was when you were supposed to usher at my coming out party and didn't show up. I'm covered in shame. I shouldn't have told you it wasn't nice. Well, I hope you're going to allow me to make up for my past rudeness. Yeah, telephone you sometime. Of course, anytime. Good night. Good night. How's your ankle, Mother? Extremely painful. I'm so sorry. I've been doing some thinking as I've been lying here in pain, listening to you all having a good time downstairs. How much did that dress cost? It was frightfully expensive.  I'll tell you about it in the morning. To whom did you charge it? To whom I've always charged my clothes, Mother. And you expect me to pay for articles charged to me of which I do not approve? Well, I could pay for it myself. I've saved quite a little money. I have about $5,000. $5,000 won't last very long. Especially if your monthly allowance were to be discontinued. Oh, I see. Charlotte, I'm willing you should occupy your old room until I dismiss the nurse. That will give you a chance to think over what I've said. I'm very glad to give a devoted daughter a home under my roof and pay all her expenses. But not if she scorns my authority. Well, I could earn my own living, Mother. As a matter of fact, I've often thought about it. I'd make a very good head waitress in a restaurant or I could... You may think that very funny. But I guess you'd be loving out of the other side of your face if I didn't carry out your suggestion. I don't think I would. You see, Mother, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. Summer, winter, and then spring again. Between Mother and me, there was a sort of armed truce. In her own way, I think she respected me for what she called my stubbornness. And then there was the matter of Elliot Livingston. Why haven't you accepted Elliot? Do you imagine there's a Livingston waiting for you on every corner? I've been waiting to see how you feel about it, Mother. You know well as I do. Makes no difference to you how I feel about it. You always do exactly as you please. I think you're pleased. I'm nothing of a kind. I'm only so astonished that you of all the family should bring such a feather to the family camp. Then if you really do approve, Mother dear, why? Keep all that soft talk for Elliot.  That night I told Elliot I would marry him. Our wedding was set for June. Mother was pleased and I was too. Then three weeks before the wedding, I saw Jerry again. There was a party at George Weston's house. In a room full of people, I saw him. And it was just as if we'd never been apart. George noticed immediately. Why, what's the matter, Charlotte? George, I think I know that man over there. Oh, Jerry Derns. He's been doing a job for me since March. Architect for the medical center. Shall I tell him your name or let him guess? Oh, let him guess. Right. Come along. Oh, Jerry, here's someone who thinks she's met you before. Oh, yes, of course. You do look familiar. Now, don't tell me your name. I've got it, uh, Beauchamp. Isn't it Camille Beauchamp? I'm sorry, Jerry, but you're wrong. My name is Vale. I met you on a pleasure cruise once. Oh, yes, Miss Vale, I hope you'll forgive me. I'll leave you two alone to make your own peace. George tells me you've been in Boston quite often, Mr. Durance. And I didn't know... We have several times. You look simply glorious. An architect. Oh, Jerry, I could cry with pride.  I've walked by your house on Marlborough Street once I almost rang the bell. Oh, I didn't, Joe. Tell me about Deb and Mac. You introduced me to them on the pleasure cruise, remember? Oh, they're all fine. And how is Tina? Well, Tina, we're having quite a bad time with Tina. Tell me about it. I'm afraid we've got to send her away somewhere. Dr. thinks she shouldn't be with her mother. I took her to see Dr. Jackwith. He was highly recommended to me by this Camille Beauchamp I mistook for you. Charlotte, I've got to see you.  I won't stay but 10 minutes. I must talk to you. Yes, I'll be waiting. Jerry, why haven't you come? I've been home for hours. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm leaving tonight on the midnight. But why? Well, I've got to get back on business. Oh, I wanted to tell you. I just wanted to say I think he's a fine person. Jerry, where are you now? I've got to see you. Charlotte, I think it's best that we don't. Are you at the station? Goodbye. Jerry. Jerry, wait. Charlotte, you shouldn't have come. I had to. I want to talk to you about Elliot. Why are you marrying him? Are you in love with him? No, not like we are not like us. I thought it might grow to be something like it. I thought I was getting over you, Jerry. I didn't think I'd ever see you again. You're not angry with me. Oh, no, only with myself. It was rotten of me to make you care. And then because of some noble sense of duty, to leave you to get over it the best way you could. And there isn't a thing in the world I can do about it. Isabelle depends on me more and more. She's ill and getting worse. Then there's Tina. Even if I could chuck everything, Charlotte. Oh, I wouldn't let you, Jerry. I knew you were married. And I walked right in with my eyes wide open. But you said it would make you happy. It has. I've got back my work and that's due to you. Oh, I'd been hoping you'd say that. I'm more understanding for Tina. I'm kind to Isabelle, so don't blame yourself. Well, then don't you. That's different. It's not. Shall I tell you what you did for me? You made me feel important. You were my first friend. And then when you fell in love with me, I was so proud. And when I came home, I needed something to make me feel proud. And then your chameleons arrived. And I knew you were thinking about me. Or I could have walked into a den of lions. As a matter of fact, I did. And the lions didn't hurt me. Please take back what you said. If you marry Elliot Livingston and have a full and happy life, I will. I'll try. I'll look for you around every corner. Goodbye, darling. Goodbye, darling. I did try. I wanted to marry Elliot, but it was of no use. We broke it off by mutual consent. And I knew then I would never have a home of my own. Or a man of my own. Or a child of my own. Why did you break the engagement? Because I don't love him, mother. Have you no sense of obligation to your family? Or to me? Here you have the chance to join our name Vale with one of the finest families in the city. And you tell me you're not in love. You're behaving like a romantic girl of 18. I don't doubt it. And what do you intend to do with your life? Oh, get a cat and a parrot and live alone in single blessedness.  Not to make yourself proud either. Why, I should think you'd be ashamed to be born and live all your life as Charlotte Vale. Miss Charlotte Vale. Dr. Jackworth says that tyranny is sometimes an expression of the maternal instinct. If that's a mother's love, I don't want any part of it. I didn't want to be born. You didn't want me either. It's been a calamity on both sides. Oh, mother, let's not go. We've been getting along together so well lately. It was a horrid thing to say, forgive me. Mother. Mother! Oh, she was sitting there and we quarreled. We quarreled. We quarreled. I did it. I did it. We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. Act three of Now Voyager, starring Betty Davis and Gregory Peck, will follow in a moment. Meanwhile, I want to introduce our guest of the evening. The number one smoother of wheels at the David O. Selznick Studio. Miss Lydia Schiller, who bears the title of scenario assistant. Reading scripts is one of your chores, isn't it, Miss Schiller? Yes, and I work on scenarios too. I sit in on story conferences and then follow through on production details. What are you working on now, Lydia? Duel in the Sun. It has over a thousand people in the cast. And the stars, I understand. Jennifer Jones, Joseph Cotton, Gregory Peck, and a host of others. That's right, Mr. Keely. It was two years in preparation, one year shooting, and cost over five million dollars. With a technical picture of that scope, you must have had many problems. We certainly did, Mr. Keely. Now, take the costumes, for example. Mr. Kennedy will be interested in how we kept them looking so lovely and fresh. How was that, Miss Schiller? We used luxe naturally. We luxed all the blouses, lingerie, washable gowns, and, of course, stockings. That helped keep down the stocking bills, didn't it? You're perfectly right, Mr. Kennedy. We had very little run trouble because stockings were luxe after every day's shooting. You found out by experience what has been proved by actual tests. Strain tests, made by a famous laboratory, proved luxe cuts down runs amazingly. A strong soap and rubbing with cake soap made runs come quickly. Stockings actually lasted twice as long with luxe. Yes, we're luckier than the girls in the days of duel in the sun. It takes place in the 80s, you know, in Texas. Before luxe was invented. And a wonderful invention it was, Mr. Kennedy. Thank you, Miss Schiller. And now, a suggestion. Don't get discouraged if you don't find luxe the first time you try. Your dealer will have more soon. And luxe is worth waiting for. Here's your producer, Mr. William Keely. We continue with the third act of Now Voyager. After which I hope you'll come backstage with us to meet tonight's stars. Betty Davis appearing now as Charlotte and Gregory Peck as Jerry Durance with Joseph Kearns as Dr. Jacobs. My mother was dead. I had quarreled with her and I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt. To go worse and worse until at last I had to get away. I went back to the only refuge I had ever known. Back to Cascade. How are you, Miss Bale? Dr. Jacobs, why are you were coming? Well, for goodness sake, I hardly know you. Of course. I expected you hours ago. It's been a long drive. I'm tired. You suppose I could go to my room right away? Certainly. I put you in 18. Your old room, remember? I thought it would make you feel more at home. Thank you. How was Dr. Jacobs? Same as ever, handing out common sense instead of sympathy. Trask, that child over there at the table, was she? A problem if I ever saw one. Her name is Christine Durance. Oh, excuse me a second. I'd better see about your bags. Tina Durance. Jerry's child.  I went and stood beside her chair, but she turned away from me. Hello. What's the picture supposed to be? I don't know. Do you mind if I join you? I'll collect all of the pink pieces. I know who you are. You do? You're my new nurse. No, I'm not.  And I know why you've come here, to make sure I don't run away from this place again.  I didn't know. What's your name? You know my name. That's why you stood there and stared at me. Oh, that was very rude of me. But you see, you reminded me of somebody. Who? Well, if you must know, myself. Of course, at your age. Oh, Christine, your schedule calls for you to spend the evening with the young people next door. They don't want me. Oh, nonsense. Of course they want you. I've got a fine ping-pong game all fixed up for you. Barbara and Betty against you and Bob. But he's the best player here.   I'll just die. Now you'll do nothing of the sort. Please, please, please, don't make me. Don't make me. Don't make me. Now, please, don't. Don't make me. But the doctor wants Christine to have exercise and evil. I'll see that she has some exercise. I have to take my car down to the town and leave it at the garage to be washed. Christine could go with you. Oh, yeah? I'm sorry, Christine. But I... Please let me go with this lady. I'll drink all my cocoa tonight, if you will. Oh, goodness sake, Christine. Don't carry on.  Thank you. Thank you. I'm sorry, Trask. I couldn't help it. I thought you were too tired to do anything but just crawl in the bed. I suppose Cascades performed another miracle on me. His room was next to mine. Late that night I heard her. She was crying. Tina, Tina, what's the matter? Don't be afraid. What is it, Tina? Oh, don't leave me. Don't leave me. I won't till you're asleep. Tell me what's the matter.  Tina, you... I'm not pretty in the least. And they hate me. They all hate me. Who are they? Everybody. All the kids at school, Miss Trask and the nurses and the doctors. Well, there must be something terribly wrong with me. Do you like them, Tina? Oh, no, I hate them. That's the trouble.  I bet you're only fooling me. You try it and see. And in the meantime, it'll help you any.  And I think you're very pretty and very sweet. You do? Really? Really. Now don't cry anymore. Oh, why are you so good to me? Because somebody was good to me once when I needed somebody. Now, now come on, go to sleep.  There, that's better. Much better. The child was in my arms. Jerry's child was clean to me. Jerry's child. I hear you're running cascade now. Giving orders to Miss Trask, to my doctor. You mean about that child? Don't try to appear innocent. But I didn't give any orders. I only requested. I thought you came up here to have a nervous breakdown. Well, I decided not to have one if it's all the same to you. Well, go on. I just think Tina is so unhappy here. I haven't anything to do with my time. Mightn't I be the nurse instead? I promise not to do anything again without first asking your permission, if only. Well, just go ahead and tell me what to do. I'd stay with her, pay attention to her, make her feel wanted and important. I'd, well, I'd take her camping in the woods. She adores camping. Sounds like a wonderful break for her. Of course I couldn't do it without her parents' permission. I wouldn't. What would her mother say, do you suppose?  The other lady would loudly protest if she heard me say so. And her father, what would his attitude be? Sympathetic and protective. Possibly too protective for Christine's good. Result, resentment felt by the mother. See, the child's absence from home became desirable for all concern, so I brought her here. I was highly recommended to the father by a friend of his, but he placed her in my care, not sure. I suppose I'd better ask you something. How much do you remember about my trip to South America? Well, you sent some beautiful postcards. No, that's not what I mean about an automobile trip I made and the man who was with me. I never knew the gentleman's name you never told me. I'd better tell you now, it was Tina's father. Tina's father? Is that all to the situation? Of course it does. I don't know anything about your relationship with Doran's. I don't know how emotionally involved you are with him. I can't work in the dark. Well, I'll tell you everything, it's over. That's it in two words and Tina needs me and I, well, I've never been needed before. Well, I'm crazy, but if you promise to behave yourself. Oh, thanks. But you're only on probation. Remember what it says in the Bible, take it the way. How does it feel to be the Lord? Jerry had to be told, of course, and though we never saw him, he sent a message through Tina. He asked her to thank me. And then came the time when we returned to Boston and the house was filled with young people. It was laughter and fun and Tina coming down the stairs in a new dress and her hair all curled and Jerry standing there. Tina. Daddy, oh, daddy. Well, can this be Tina? It's my first party dress. You look lovely. Do you really like me? I love you, darling.  Would you like to see my room, daddy? Oh, very much. Miss Vail will pardon us. How long are you going to call her Miss Vail? What should I call her? I don't know. Would it sound too funny if you called her my name for her? Yeah, what name is that? We decided it on the camping trip. I call her Camille. Camille. I think it would sound very nice indeed. Jerry, what are you doing here all alone? Come and join the party. I want to speak to you, Charlotte. What about? I said to take Tina home. Take her home, but you can't. Dr. Jackwell says it'll be the worst possible thing. I don't care what he says. Charlotte, I've accomplished very little with my life, but oddly enough, I've always managed to keep myself respect. How am I to interpret that? By recognizing the sacrifice you're making and admitting it. I can't let you do it, Charlotte. I can't go on forever taking, taking, taking from you and giving nothing. Jerry, that's the most conventional pious speech I've ever heard. Forgive me. I know it's your pride, isn't it? Let me explain. You will be giving. Don't you know that to take is sometimes a way to give? The most beautiful way in the world if two people love each other, you'll be giving me Tina. Every single day I'll be taking and you'll be giving. That's very kind of you to put it that way. Then is it something that Tina has said? Don't you think she's happy here? Happy. She told me upstairs she loved you almost as much as she loves me. Well, what is the reason? Is it something about us? Of course it's about us. Why didn't you marry Livingston? I'll tell you why. Because I came along and ruined him for you. And now my child comes along and claims all your attention and takes your whole life when you should be trying to find some man who'll make you happy. Some man who'll make me happy. Oh, so that's it. Here I've been laboring under the illusion that you and I were so in sympathy, so one that you know without being asked what would make me happy. And you come up here to talk about some man. Jerry, you have the slightest conception of what torture it is to love a man and be shut out to be always an outsider and an extra. When Tina said she'd come and stay with me, it was, well, it was like a miracle, like having my own child a part of you. I thought you'd understand, but evidently you don't. Again, I've been just a sentimental fool. It's a tendency I have. Well, wait a minute. I thought I was afraid you were keeping Tina out of pity. Pity? But there wasn't any pity in your voice just now. I feel very small, Charlotte, and very much ashamed. I'll never doubt you again. Thank you. Come here. Come here, Charlotte. No, Jerry, please. Let me go. Listen, darling, Dr. Jackwith knows about us. When he said I could take Tina, he said you're on probation. Do you know what that means? He allowed you to come here as a test. And if I can't stand the test, I'll lose Tina and we'll lose each other. Jerry, please help me. Shall we have a cigarette on? Yes, please. May I sometimes come here? Oh, whenever you like. There are people here who love you. And it won't be for this time only. That is if you'll help me keep what we have. We could talk about your child. Our child. Thank you. There's something else I want to tell you. I don't know how. Charlotte, I'm not afraid of what's ahead for us. We have a certain immunity, you and I. It's a strange kind of blood, isn't it, that keeps us apart. But it's stronger than both of us together.  You believe that, Charlotte? And you will be happy. Oh, Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon. We have the stars. Betty Davis and Gregory Peck will return for a curtain call in just a moment. I read the other day that a neighbor of ours was getting married. So when I met her younger sister, I asked about Mary. Susie gave me a withering look. She gives me a pain. What now? Well, the heirs Mary puts on. She came into the kitchen last night while Mom and I were doing the dishes. And of course, she hasn't touched a dishcloth since she's been dating Fred. Here was Mom, up to her elbows and suds. What do you suppose Mary said? She couldn't possibly wash dishes when she got married because Fred's always raving about her soft, white hands. And she doesn't want to spoil them. And what did your mother say? Well, I spoke up before Mom had a chance. I said if her eyes weren't on Fred so much, she'd see that box of luxe right on the kitchen sink. And she'd have taken a look at her own mother's hands. Why, since Mom changed a luxe, her hands looked divine. So then what? So Mary did take a look at Mom's hands and kissed her and said whoopee. And off she went. And not she had a date with Fred. But I could see she was impressed. Well, it is impressive, Susie. You see, the luxe people made a lot of actual tests. What kind of tests, Mr. Kennedy? They had women wash dishes with strong soaps. And you should have seen their hands. Like Mom's used to be, I guess. All red and rough. Yes. Then the same women changed to luxe flakes. And their hands became soft and smooth and lovely again. Well, Mom says it costs hardly anything to use luxe for dishes. That's true, luxe does go further. Luxe does up to twice as many dishes ounce for ounce as other leading soaps tested.  Here's Mr. Keely with our stars. It gives me great pleasure to bring back to the footlights for their curtain call, Betty Davis and Gregory Peck, who appear together for the first time on any stage. It seems natural to be on a stage with you again, Bill. And it's been a real privilege for me to play opposite Betty. Betty, I want you to know how proud we all are of the honor accorded you in Mexico, as the first American Screen Star to be included on their role of honor. What was the occasion, Betty? Well, it was a screening of The Corn is Green in connection with the opening of a campaign to educate all Mexicans to read and write. And thousands of Mexicans who learn to write will be sending you and Greg fan mail, that I'm sure. Greg, I'm happy to see that your boss, David O. Selznick, won the December Box Office Blue Ribbon Award for Spellbound. Yes, I feel mighty lucky to have been in that picture, Bill. Oh, I don't think it was luck. I think for both of you, success was predetermined. It's a very nice thought, Bill, of what you mean. Well, you may not know it, but you were both born on the same day in April. And from ancient law, you know how the stars affect our lives. Well, I know how stars like Betty Davis affect mine. Well, I'm talking about the celestial stars. I'm afraid that subject's a little over my head, Bill. Well, perhaps we'd better gravitate to the stars we're having in this theater next week. That's better, Bill. Who are they? They represent two generations of fine acting, Lionel Barrymore and Margaret O'Brien. In the 20th century, Fox hit Captain January. Captain January is a story of a bluff and salty lighthouse keeper and the light of his life a little girl named Star. A story of how they face an often hostile world together, bound to each other by tenderness and understanding. They should be wonderful together in that play, Bill. Good night. Good night. You took us on a very pleasant voyage. Before we part, may I leave with you a grave and vitally important message. In the recent war, we learned what loss of life and limb can mean in terms of human anguish. And yet in America today, there is a shocking toll of lives and human injuries through carelessness. Carelessness that since Pearl Harbor has killed more Americans at home than lost their lives in battle. Yes, it doesn't seem possible, but it's true. Most accidents are preventable if each of us will assume responsibility, especially on public highways, drive with care, observe all speed and traffic regulations, be ready for unforeseen emergencies, help stop the growing scourge of accidents throughout America. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday evening, when the Lux Radio Theater presents Margaret O'Brien and Lionel Barrymore in Captain January. This is William Keely saying good night to you from Hollywood. In reviewing the wartime record of the motion picture studios, their stars, executives and personnel, America can be proud that its great entertainment industry, mobilized for victory, received the commendations of two presidents of the United States, also the commendations of the Secretaries of War, the Navy and the Treasury, as well as of the commanding officers of every military branch in every theater of the war. For its unstinted service and the cause of victory, the motion picture industry has earned the gratitude of all America. Betty Davis will soon be seen in the Warner Brothers picture, A Stolen Life. This program is broadcast to our men and women overseas through cooperation with the Armed Forces Radio Service. Our music was directed by Louis Silvers. Our Lux Radio Theater production of Now Voyager, starring Betty Davis and Gregory Peck, has come to you with the good wishes of the makers of Lux Flakes, the safe, gentle flakes, smart women everywhere, used for all nice washables. This is your announcer, John Milton Kennedy, reminding you to tune in again next Monday night to hear Captain January with Margaret O'Brien and Lionel Barrymore. Next week's Lux Radio Theater presentation, Captain January, is based in the novel by Laura E. Richards, published and copyrighted by LC Page & Company. Be sure to listen. And why not tune in a half hour early to hear Joan Davis over most of these stations? This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


My words fly up, my thoughts remain below, words without thought never to heaven go. Team Garura presenting quadcopter based navigation using Akash Tablet with onboard image processing. Mentored by Mr. Sandesh Pati, Metri Mordekar, Mr. Shiva Kiran Kodali. The manager, the group is managed by Mr. Rajesh Kushalkar. Let's start with the presentation. So our topic is quadcopter navigation using Akash Tablet with onboard image processing. Now first of all I want to give thanks to our mentors for all support and help throughout the project. Now I will introduce to our team, this is Aditya, this is Ankit, this is Yogendra and Suji and myself Shubham. Now the main question is what is a quadcopter? Quadcopter is just 4th winged helicopter. Now I will give some of the features of our quadcopter. First of all, video streaming. We have an onboard camera on our quadcopter which will provide real-time video streaming on the ground control station. Next we have dough detection algorithm which is running on Raspberry Pi single board computer. This dough detection is being running on Raspberry Pi using OpenCV libraries. Next is GPS tracking. We have an onboard GPS sensor which will provide exact location of current quadcopter. It will be helpful in navigation of quadcopter from one way point to another. Apart from it we have a ground control station which is running on Akash. This ground control station not only get the parameters and sensor details from the quadcopter but it even have an RC control which can control this quadcopter manually. Now we have a project overview. This main board, CryS Pro board has an 8 mega 250 main microcontroller and have three sensors gyroscope accelerometer, compass and altitude sensor. This main board provides the PWM signals to ESCs. These ESCs control the brushless DC motors. Apart from it we have a GPS sensor. As I told earlier it will provide the location of the quadcopter and these parameters are being sent using Mavelink protocol using Wi-Fi module to Akash tablet. And we have a Raspberry Pi which is a single board computer doing the image processing and the live streaming is being sent using Wi-Fi dongle to the Akash tablet. Now I will tell how this quadcopter moves, the basic mechanics of a quadcopter. First of all it is gyro. So we have demonstrated a very simple animation of an airplane. So the rotation of the quadcopter along z axis is being gyro. So for changing the direction of quadcopter from one position to another is just a gyro. Now we have unroll. The rotation of this quadcopter along x axis is being known as roll. So this movement basically provides the roll. Next is pitch. Pitch provides the elevation to the quadcopter. This is pitch. Now I am going to explain how to implement all these three controls. First is yaw control. In yaw control the motor one rotates at its maximum speed which provides the torque in anticlockwise direction. So using or according to third law of motion there will be a torque provided by air which will move this quadcopter in clockwise direction. And similarly it will work for an anticlockwise direction. Now roll and pitch. So here we will have motor one is being moving at its greatest rpm and motor one dash is moving at lower speed. So what happens this motor will rotate at higher rpm and will elevate this quadcopter at up. Similarly this is for anticlockwise direction where the speed get interchanged between one and one dash. Now we have pitched the quadcopter. Now our task is to elevate it further. So when it was on a certain altitude there was a vertical component. But when it get pitched up so there the component get divides into two parts horizontal and vertical component. So we need to have some thrust so that it can move upwards. Now it is altitude control. So since motor one and one dash and two and two dash are rotating at same speed but with different direction. So the torque generated by both these pairs of the motors will get cancel out each other and will give a thrust which will make it move upwards. Similarly we will reduce the rpm of all these four motors to get it down. Now there are some of the elements which are very important for flying this quadcopter. We will be starting with propellers. So we have used two pairs of propellers one clockwise and another is anticlockwise. And there is a very essential condition to balance the length and the pitch of these propellers. Because greater the length and greater the pitch of these propellers more amount of thrust will be provided more power will be consumed. But to have a life for some duration of time we need to maintain both these things power and length and pitch. Next is electronic speed controller. Electronic speed controller provides the signals to run the brushless DC motors. The signal generated by this electronic speed controllers are of 50 hertz to 400 hertz. And the pulse duration for this is from 1000 microseconds to 2000 microseconds. Now we are moving to the sensor part of our quadcopter starting with accelerometer and gyroscopes. Basically what is an accelerometer? Accelerometer provides just the acceleration of all the three axis. And using this acceleration and human friend trigonometry can easily do overwork. But the main problem is vibrations. During the flight of quadcopter there are lot of vibrations being generated. Due to that we cannot have an stable all the orientations. So to get it we need to attach a gyroscope. But gyroscope even have a problem of drift. Even when quadcopter is stable it will provide non-zero values. So to eliminate it we have to use various algorithms which will be explained further to reduce this noise. Now we got del x, del y and del z means all the translation in all the three axis and orientations. Now we need to know where our quadcopter is currently direction of this quadcopter. So this is being provided by magnetometer. This magnetometer provides the magnetic field of all the three axis. X, Y and Z. Next is the pressure sensor. It provides the pressure at a certain altitude. So using this pressure sensor we can easily calculate what is the current height of the quadcopter. So this will completely provides an 10 axis IMU. It will provide translation of all the three axis orientation, the direction of the quadcopter and the altitude of the quadcopter. As I told earlier we have used GPS sensor for providing the current location of the quadcopter. So GPS sensor uses triangulation method. So what the triangulation method is? It is the intersection of four spheres which will provide a unique location of this quadcopter. And for transmitting the data we are using an MEA protocol. So now I will hand over my mic to Aditya for giving about sensor fusion. Thank you Shivam. So I am here to explain you about sensor fusion. Difficult term isn't it? So just go by the literal meaning. What does it mean? Sensor fusion means fusion of two or more data from two or more sensors. Okay. So what are the two sensors? One is gyroscope and one is accelerometer. And the main question is why do we need to fuse them? The need is because accelerometer is noisy. It has vibration in its data. If we plot accelerometer data with respect to time, the green thing is accelerometer data. So you will see some spikes in that. And gyroscope, the disadvantage of gyroscope is that it has a time varying drift. The blue thing, the blue or red anything, it is the gyroscope data. It has a non-zero drift, time varying drift. First of all, why do we need this accelerometer data and gyroscope data? Well we need them because we need the orientation of the quadcopter. Whether it is inclined like this or like this or like this. One tilt here and the quadcopter can go hundreds of kilometers away in space. So that is a very important point. Now I am going to tell you about a difficult filter, apparently difficult but functionally simple. Complementary filter. I said that accelerometer data is noisy. It has vibrations. What does it mean? It is reliable over long term, not reliable over short term. Gyroscope data has a time varying drift. That means it is reliable over short term. It is not reliable over long term. Time is inverse of frequency and hence we pass the accelerometer data through low pass filter and gyroscope data through high pass filter. Now this is known as complementary filter and it is used in this. It is the algorithm being used in this quadcopter to provide orientation. So this is very simple but don't, what can I say, misunderstand its simplicity because you must have seen that PSLV launched some days back, PSLV launched of India. You will be surprised to believe that the algorithm which is being used in PSLV has the same mathematics as that being used in this quadcopter. It is the same complex mathematics, dear friends. Yes? How did you get it? What? The mathematics? Well there is open source code available for that and you have to tamper in that. They have used the same open source code. Without tampering. There are many methods, there are many methods. This complementary filter is a very simple thing. They use Kalman filter, extended Kalman filter and things like that. This is a very simple thing, not accurate. We have used that. Not accurate. Not accurate. Not accurate to suit the specifications of space. If you are going to moon, you can't land on stars. So DCM, direction cosine metric. In layman's language, in common man's language, this is just a third-order complementary filter. But I just want to say that this is a very important thing. This is a very important project. You know why? Because quadcopters are nowadays everywhere. Okay. So this was about the orientation algorithm suit by us. There is an open source code available for that. Implementing DCM and complementary filter. Arduino pilot. Arduino pilot. Yes, it is an Arduino compatible board. This board is Arduino compatible. So they have given the name Arduino pilot. External autonomous navigation. We have divided navigation into two parts, external and internal. External and internal because in external navigation, GPS is necessary. When you come into a closed and cluttered environment like this, GPS access is lost. So what to do? Quadcopter will be lost. It can't go back. So we have to implement some algorithm for that. First of all, external navigation, GPS is necessary. Waypoints can be set up by our application on Akash tablet. Demo will be shown. Next slide. Internal navigation. Yes, that is the next slide. Yes. The internal navigation is we are using a door detection algorithm. We have implemented it here. This door we have detected. The quadcopter will go through it and we can't give a demo. It is too risky over here. Quadcopter will go through this door and sonars also will be used. We have not implemented sonars as of now because of positive of time. But sonars can be used to create a depth map of this room and the quadcopter can navigate. Next slide. So this is the door detection algorithm used and this is the FC Coley door here. The door has been detected. We have mapped the centroid. In future, we have not designed. We plan to design a PID controller algorithm, a PID controller, so that it can go through its centroid. We have to map the image centroid to the real-time data. But suppose the door has got glass, whether it will detect the door? Sonar. We are implementing sonar for that. That is why sonar is there. To get a depth map of the room. The algorithm we have not implemented, sir, because of positive of time. The algorithm for door detection. OK. Previous slide. Well, we used machine learning. We did hard training and hard training, hard cascade classifier. Hard cascade classifier. And we even used LBP features. The result by LBP was slightly faster. Next slide. The result by LBP was slightly faster. But the FPS was too low to consider for a real-time thing. We even used feature matching by surf, but that was even slower than hard. So at last, we had to settle on the geometric properties of the door. Like this door is a quadrilateral. We are detecting that it is a quadrilateral. There is a limitation on area. The door is open. But the door is open. You are using open CV, correct? Yes, this is open CV. So suppose I have got a poster which is printed a door photograph. What will happen? That will be covered in the PID control algorithm. Sonar. Now, Tuchi will explain about PID. We move to PID control, PID tuning. The PID is an acronym for proportional, integral, and derivative, the mathematics term. We have PID controllers in our board. And we try to tune them through our ground control station. That is the Akash tablet. Why do we need PID tuning? We need PID tuning for the smooth and stable flight of the quadcopter. We want to get the optimum of the desired behavior of the quadcopter. Whether it be in terms of its altitude, its tilt, or angle. And how does the PID work in the quadcopter? It actually reads the data from the sensors. And also from the input that it gets from the ground control station. Compares the two, gets the error. And according to the error, it gives the correction. Next please. And that we have three parts of the PID tuning. The proportional part, integral, and the derivative. Talking about the proportional correction, it is the immediate correction. It gives the correction, which is directly proportional to the error. As we can see through this, the altitude is, the actual altitude is very, very far away from the target one. So according to the error, that is the difference. It will generate the correction. That our quad reaches the desired one. Next please. That's the integral one, the overtime correction. Suppose our quad reaches, is somewhat very, quite close to our desired altitude. But changing the P parameter is of no help. Then we can use that integral error. It integrates, it uses the cumulative error. And according to it, it gives the correction. So that we may overcome the zero steady error correction. The next one, derivative part. Suppose the correction term that we are using, it is increasing or decreasing at a very rapid rate. And we want to slow down on that. Otherwise the quadcop movement is going to overshoot it. It's a desired one. Then we use the derivative control. We simply alter tune the D parameter gains. And the PID gains are very important because without it, the quad may either, it's going to be very wobbly. It may even topple over or it may become very slower and timable. Now we move to the telemetry section. Coming to the communication part. So we are using maveling for the communication protocol. So it is a protocol for communication between our ground control station. That is on the Akash tablet with the quadcopter. So we can like set the different flight parameters and various sensor data we can be getting through this maveling itself. So coming to the interfaces of our app. The first interface is the RC interface. This interface enables the user to control the quadcopter using a virtual radio controller itself. Also the user can use the navigation menu to switch between the different activities. And he can also use the another navigation menu to switch between the different flight modes that we are having. The other interfaces includes the planning interface and the flight data interface. In the planning interface, the user can set different waypoints through which the quadcopter will be covering. And in the flight data, we have implemented an SUD that's a head-up display. It gives us the data of the flight data of the quadcopter. And in the second part, it shows what it keeps a track of the waypoints that is being covered. Other interfaces includes the charts interface and the camera feeds. In the charts interface, whatever the sensor data that we are getting from the quadcopter, those are being plotted along the graph. And in the camera feeds, we are getting live video streaming from our Raspberry Pi camera to the Akash tablet. Next. So now I would give Aditya to tell more about it. So this, I will cover what we would take back from Eklavya. So the first thing is orientation algorithms of quadcopter. So I explained that then is the aerodynamics of a quadcopter, mechanics, physics was weak. So we learnt it again here. Configuring a wireless camera. So we have put a Raspberry Pi camera. Raspberry Pi has its own inbuilt small camera, 5 megapixel camera and a USB camera we have interfaced with Raspberry Pi. But for safety purpose, we also, we also interface Cisco wireless camera and we configured it. Next thing is we explored image processing techniques in detail. We used OpenCV and we tried out different algorithms. Next thing is streaming the video feed of a USB webcam. Raspberry cam over the local area network through Mjpeg streamer that will be shown in the demo. And a new way of thinking and questioning things. And the last is a new communication protocol called Mavelink. So a challenge is faced, implementation of hard training for door detection. So this was a very big challenge because hard training usually requires something between 4 days to 1 week. And that is, that too only on a database, on a 500 images. Okay next slide. Sir wind up. Next slide. Further prospects making Garuda autonomous using GPS based sensor, designing a PID controller for internal navigation. Face recognition in the feed received at the Akash end and recording the video feed at the Akash tablet and processing it. The last two could not be done because we were using Android package for OpenCV and it only uses a hardware camera. But we were getting a video feed and not the feed from hardware. So that was not implementable. So these are the references and now we'll show the demo video. Can I have the lights off please. So thank you.


This is Coach Mack. Welcome to Beneath the Surface powered by Microsoft Surface. Today we're going to be looking at Jeffrey Simmons. Two distinct plays in this football game that demonstrate not only his ability to shock and shed at the line of scrimmage and then pursue down the line of scrimmage, but then his strength and his getoff on a tremendous goal line stand in the third quarter of this football game. First play we're going to look at. He's playing a three technique to the defensive left. He starts on an inside rush. This is a three-step drop on a tunnel screen. He sticks his foot in the ground. Now he's sprinting to the football. This is very important for interior defensive linemen to sprint to the football, watch him locate the football. It all comes from effort, hustle, huge play in this football game, but it all starts with effort after the football is thrown, which for an interior defensive linemen pursuit is a big, big part of the game. Kevin Byrd gets the strip on the outside of the perimeter of the defense, but your interior defensive linemen pursuing to the perimeter. Once the ball is thrown, it's a huge part of playing great team defense. The next play we're going to look at is down on the goal line. As we're looking at fourth and one on the one yard line, now you can watch Jeffrey Simmons. He's lined up at the one technique or the shade to the right side. Watch his explosion off the football. Watch his violent. He knocks the center back and now he's able to get off into the second man that's coming down. A shovel pass is extremely hard for an interior defensive linemen to recognize. Once the ball is snapped, watch his explosion. He gets off, extends, now he releases, lateral down the line of scrimmage, sees the ball again, another engagement with a blocker and then tremendous strength being able to stand up, tight end that is getting the shovel pass, huge, huge play. We've just seen a demonstration by Jeffrey Simmons of two plays distinctly different for an interior defensive linemen, but he made major, major plays on both of these instances.


Welcome back to my channel. So today I'm gonna do a month of June favorites I've been wanting to do a favorites video for a while But I've been really trying to wait until I have some like real things that I'm enjoying to share with you guys So I'm gonna share just like a basket of things that I've been using every single day that I've been loving some of them are beauty products some of them are health products some of them are baby products and So it's just kind of a mish mosh of stuff that I've been really loving Okay, so I'm gonna start with some health things that I've been loving lately So I don't know if you guys know about flavor God, but my husband and I are loving at flavor God seasonings We have four of them. We have the garlic lovers the everything the taco Tuesday and The fiesta sweet and tangy seasoning these seasonings are amazing because they are super low in sodium and They're super healthy. They're made with all fresh ingredients They're gluten-free Paleo and my favorite part about them is the low sodium content because when you're trying to lose weight Sodium can really hinder you from losing weight So we've been using these a lot and we actually plan on ordering a bunch more. They have like barbecue Chocolate doughnut. We were thinking we'd make some like overnight oats with chocolate doughnut So we really really love these they're super affordable and they always have sales So flavor God is definitely one of our favorites, okay?

So as you guys have noticed well Hopefully you've noticed my skin is looking really great even when I'm not wearing makeup I still have a lot of redness, but that's just because I have rosacea and I do have a lot of acne scarring down here But they have been Lightning up a bit. I'm gonna show you guys what I've been using. So I've been using the mirad acne control line This is the acne control cleanser And I started out with the small bottle just because I wanted to make sure it would actually work But I upgraded to the big one because it has been working So I use this in the shower and I actually use it with one of my other favorites the for ao Skin cleansing brush and this is actually a silicone brush. It's not a Brush brush, so it's a little bit more gentle on my skin And so I just squirt a little bit of this on the brush and spend time in the shower cleansing my skin I got this in my FabFit fun summer box So if you guys are interested in the FabFit fun box I do have a coupon code for $10 off your first box And I will put all of that information down in the description box below You just use the code apples and you will get $10 off your first box in addition to the Cleanser I've been using the clarifying lotion and this is basically a toner and it's actually really cool It's like cooling so I just put a little bit of this on a cotton ball and then scrubbed around my face Let it sink in and then at night I will use the post acne spot lightning gel and that is why my scarring has been getting a little bit lighter and looking better So and this goes a long way I just use one pump at night and I just put it all around here because this is my trouble area and it has been helping Then I use two different moisturizers during the day use the anti-aging moisturizer with SPF 30 And then at night I use the age reform Perfecting night cream and I just put that all here and just avoid this area because my other stuff's working But these two so during the day and then at night they have been working really well So to make up items that I've been loving I've I've loved these items before but I've been really reaching for them lately and one is the Tarte shape tape concealer and the one I use is in light neutral and I'm actually running out. I need to get a new one but I love using that in addition to the Laura Marcia brightening powder and I've used this in the past as well but I've been finding myself using it a lot more and then I use it with this Sigma tapered highlighting brush and I just like the way that it gets like right under the eye and like is perfect for That spot I just kind of like pat it tap it and then I also go over my eyelids as well And so I've been really loving that combination this So I started using this this is a soap and glory the scrub of your life I started using this because I need to get a spray tan and the girl told me I needed an oil free body scrub To exfoliate my whole body before I went in for my spray tan and it was so hard for me to find an oil free body scrub then I found this one it is oil free and It's kind of like a clear scrub like you'll see when I pump it out It's like totally clear and I've been using the crout out of this I use it every single day just like just on my upper body and then I use the soap and glory Lotion the original on top and it makes me smell like this all night long and into the next day So I've been loving to use this in the shower Okay, the last two autumn the last two products are hair products and as you guys can tell my hair is like uber blonde I dyed it a while ago I actually just dyed the roots myself and they're a little bit more golden But it's fine because I've been using these products These are the joyco color balancing purple shampoo and conditioner. I have both I just didn't bring them both out here, but I have been using this So if you're wanting to go blonder or if you are blonder and you're dealing with like the brassy yellow tones Definitely use this I just put a little bit in my hair at the beginning of the shower and then I let it sit there while I do everything else And then I rinse it out and it does take a few washes to get everything looking a little bit less brassy But it definitely works like I said, I literally just did my roots, but they don't look bad at all They're they're like blending in just nicely So I use that and the conditioner and I got this as a two-pack So it was actually way cheaper if you bought the two together Then I've been using the it's a 10 silk express miracle silk leave-in Spray and I'm running out of this as well, and I don't just use it because it's purple I just really like the silk because it helps me Get through brushing my hair because my hair is really thin really fine and gets really tangled Especially after having a baby in postpartum hair loss. It's just been like a complete disaster Okay, and then the last monthly favorite that I'm gonna talk about is an app and it is the 21 day fix app And I like it because I'm starting to use Beachbody and it's been working out really well I'm on day five and I Really have been loving it I've been finding myself really craving doing the workouts and I just like using the tracker because it keeps track of what you've been up to You can track your food, which I haven't done yet because I'm waiting for my containers to come in the mail So I've just been eating right since but you can track which workout you've done which day And it's just nice to be able to see like your progress. So I'm sure in three weeks. I'll be like, yes I did it, you know, so I really like this app in addition to Beachbody the program in general I've been really really loving it if you're thinking. Oh, I don't know if I want to spend that much money If you don't have a gym membership, it's totally totally worth it because you do your workouts at home You don't have to go to the gym you just get the equipment that you need and then you're done and For me getting myself out of the house and going to the gym is the hardest part So when cash goes down for a nap, I just do my daily workout. It's 30 minutes and it's done so those are my favorites for the month of June and I hope you guys enjoyed this video Hopefully you saw a couple things that you might be interested in using and I don't forget if you are interested in that FabFitFun box Where I got that scrubber brush The link to my coupon code will be down below. So thank you guys for watching and I'll see you in the next one


Hey folks, DroneTech here doing a little something different today looking to maybe change up how I do videos and just thought I'd try this format as opposed to my usual format today. I just want to talk a little bit about this guy, Mike Grunwald. He's the senior editor at Politico and the editor at large. Probably he would call himself an objective journalist, I have no doubt, and of course his politics don't influence his reporting. But today he tweets out, we're supposed to be mad at Biden because he copied a few lines of his climate plan from environmental groups. That's not plagiarism, that's agreeing. Now, you know, at first I kind of, you know, I was thinking about this and I thought maybe that's not plagiarism, you know, maybe because if he's just taking, you know, if his talking points are just the same talking points that, you know, that he's getting from AOC or whoever on the left. I mean, that's common, right? I mean, we all kind of do that to some degree. But I don't think that's actually what happened here. It's more than just that he's agreeing with, you know, and repeating some talking points. He's literally just taking like line by line things from other websites, other climate websites or, you know, other statements that, you know, other Democrats who are running for president have given. And so it's not the same thing. But of course he's trying to make it as if all Biden did here was just agree with AOC's climate plan. So it actually turns out that some people, you know, called him out on this and like, oh, well, you know, if you're saying that that's not plagiarism, why is it that in this case, you know, you were attacking a Republican for plagiarizing, for plagiarizing Michelle Bachman. And if you go to the article here, this BuzzFeed article, you know, it says right there, another Republican Senate candidate is a plagiarist. And the article says, a Republican Senate candidate in Nebraska appears to have heavily plagiarized his position on immigration from Michelle Bachman. Arizona Senator John McCain's immigration reform plan and report from the Federal, I'm sorry, Federation for immigration reform. In many instances, Omaha banker Sid Dinsdale texts is exactly the same as another text. So they're saying that, you know, he took his position. And he found the words of Michelle Bachman and just, you know, word for word said the same thing. So in this case, Mike Grunwald thought that it was plagiarism. But in this case, when it's Joe Biden, suddenly it's not. And of course, you know, he's getting he's getting ratioed pretty hard here in his Twitter. Boy, if I could have only gotten away with this agreeing in my college English class. So I could copy political articles, call them mine so long as it's just me agreeing. And yeah, of course, this is typical of what we see in the media when it comes to so called journalists, you know, putting themselves out there to defend Democrats, it's always some sort of spin. And I don't want to get too far off course here.  Go go check out which happened to be on Politico, get on Politico, check out the supposed 10,000 lies from Trump. And what you'll find is that almost all of them. I mean, there are there's a couple in there. You could say Trump was wrong. I don't know if I say Trump is lying. Trump is wrong. But most of it is just gay, you know, semantic games with words, or, you know, it's just the journalist's opinion that they think is fact simply because they hold that position because they hold that position. That makes it a fact. So and, you know, people are pointing out that Joe Biden, this isn't the first time that he's done this and that actually, when it came to our friend, Bernie Sanders, that he actually did the same thing with him, you know, Bernie Sanders said, every child has a right to quality K through 12 education, regardless of your race, regardless of your income, and regardless of your zip code. And then Joe Biden comes out and says, Education shouldn't depend on child zip code, race or their parents income, which I mean, is essentially the same thing.  It's, he's definitely, he's definitely flirting with it. But I don't you know, I don't know if I call that plagiarism. But again, really, this is about a fake journalist, a fake left wing Democrat posing as a journalist, who in one instance calls that same thing plagiarism. But in the other case of a Democrat, it's not plagiarism. So I mean, that's typically what we see from these so called, you know, free thinking defenders of democracy that call themselves journalists today, which are really just left wing activists real quick before we get too far into this video. I did want to thank everybody, all of you who have been tweeting to YouTube to please review my channel and re monetize it as quickly as possible. Many of you have been tweeting out to YouTube, people like Dodger here saying, Could you please reinstate monetization for drone tech? He has reapplied and is waiting for response. His content is appropriate for all people, including children. This is a great YouTuber with over 70 case of I really appreciate it and also pointing out that YouTube is missing out on revenue as well, which I agree with I was earning them lots of revenue before they did monetize my channel. And guys, I can't express enough how much I appreciate you doing that. I will go through and feature all of these tweets or as many as I can, hopefully I won't miss any and future upcoming videos. But I want to let this run its course here real quick. So those of you who have not done it yet, if you can just have on over to Twitter, you know, shoot him a tweet at, you know, at drone tech and at YouTube, asking them to please at least review my channel reinstated. I applied for monetization months ago and still nothing. And yet I know people that applied, you know, and got it a few days later, if that so something's definitely going on. And of course, if you want to support my channel and help it grow and believe me, I need it without monetization. You know, it's a lot harder to justify spending the time that I need to be spending on this. And so I need, you know, I need people to help me continue to make this content. And I'm going to continue doing it to the bitter end. But you know, if you guys want to help me, what I really need right now is subscriptions on Patreon. I know many of you have a problem with Patreon.  I will have a website soon but I don't yet. And so right now that I need Patreon and I need subscribers on it. So please if you want to support me head on over there, check it out. And I really appreciate it. So Joe Biden has apparently changed the climate plan on his website in response to these claims that he plagiarized it from, you know, various other climate advocate websites.  He says on the left, Joe Bynes climate plan and then has his website there. On the right, a letter the Blue Green Alliance sent to leadership of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in 2017. So it looks like he just on his website he supposedly plagiarized his copy and pasted their plan put it on his website. So we'll see if that's true here. So it says accelerate the development and deployment of carbon capture, sequitization technology, sequestration technology, sorry. Carbon capture use and storage CC us is rapidly growing technology that has potential to create economic benefit for multiple industries while significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions. So I guess that's what Biden said. Okay, that's from Biden's site. Now let's see what the original carbon capture and sequestration is a rapidly growing technology has potential to create economic benefit for multiple industries while significantly reducing carbon dioxide. Is that what he said on there? Yeah. So yeah, I mean, that is plagiarism. I mean, he literally just took that up from their website looks like. And that's almost word for word. So yeah, I mean, that's plagiarism. I mean, that I was kind of questioning whether it was or not, they're just from the examples that were given. You know, I'm not so sure that vaguely, you know, repeating the words of what Bernie Sanders says is quite plagiarism is close, but this is definitely no doubt plagiarism. So this guy Mike Grunwald clearly a partisan hack, you know, pretending to be a journalist. When it's Biden, it's it's all these people all these alt writers, I'm surprised I'm surprised he didn't blame alt writers. I bet if I go down through here enough, he probably did. And of course, this is not the first time that Joe Biden has been accused of plagiarizing as the Washington Free Beacon documents here. The apparent copying recalls plagiarism charges that sank Biden's very first presidential run in 1988. After he gave speeches that duplicated remarks from first made by British Labor Party leader Neil Nicknock. Hope I'm getting that right. Not sure. But then Delaware Senator also went on to admit that he was punished as a student at Syracuse Law when he was caught plagiarizing a law review article. So Biden has a history. It looks like Biden has a history of touching people inappropriately, especially little girls and sewing their hair.  I'm interested to see how CNN is reporting this right now. I think right here we have an ad. But so they're reporting it. But as you can see, there's damage control going on, which is how if the media of CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, if these outlets report on Democrat scandals, it's almost always in defense of them and to discredit their critics or whoever's lodging the charge of the Democrat. And in this case, we see them just you know, basically, you know, being soft on Biden. Biden campaign, a men's climate plan after being caught out for lifting language from liberal groups, you know, not for plagiarizing liberal groups. I'm wondering if plagiarize even appears in this article. I'm not seeing it. Let's know it does not. Oh, wait, no, actually, it does right there plagiarism appears. But plagiarize does not. And of course, they're talking about the first time that he was accused. And of course, here we have Alison Camarada, the Democrat operative at CNN. CNN's Camarada defends Biden over plagiarism charge. Don't you go to the experts and list some of their terminology? Lift it. I love that she said lift like you're, you're shoplifting it, you know, you're swiping it. Because you know, when you talk about robbery or stealing something, you know, I think shoplifting is probably like the lowest form of that, probably has the softest, nicest connotations to it. And so of course, he lifted some of some of these words when really, we just looked at it, he copied it word for word. So it definitely was plagiarized no doubt about it. CNN's Alison Camarada and John Berman ostensibly defended Joe Biden on Wednesday. I mean, accusations that the former vice president plagiarized multiple parts of his newly announced climate platform, which he did. Don't go there. Go. Don't you go to the experts to the experts websites and list some of their terminology and put it into your work, Camarada asked. Well, no, you don't actually if I go to a website, if I go to this website I'm on right now and I just write my own article on my own website and I just lift, you know, paragraphs or even sentences from it, they could get me for plagiarizing it. If I did not cite where I got that article from you're supposed to cite where you got it from, he apparently did not because they've changed it now. So, you know, he knows he did something wrong. Why, why they're still defending him when he's changed it admitting he did something wrong. Typical of CNN, you know, apparently he's going to be Biden's personal PR. But she continues that's a footnote or I'm sorry, Berman, that's a footnote Berman answered and Camarada eventually conceded that his plagiarism when information isn't cited, which you know is what I just said. This is typical and I'm sure this is basically what you're going to see throughout the media. You'll see, you know, they're going to probably softly criticize them, but they're not going to go after them. Okay, they're going to, it's going to be very soft criticism and they're going to pull as many punches as possible. So that when you know, they can, it just gives them, you know, deniability. They can just say, Oh, we're not biased. Look, we went after we criticize them for that. Not really. Because we know that if they want to criticize somebody, they can look at what they're doing to Trump. Let you know, if you were alive during Bush, you remember the Bush administration, the second Bush, you know, they were the same way with him. So, you know, constantly negative constantly after him, and he could do no good. And if they want to destroy Biden, they could do it, but they don't want to, obviously, he's their favorite. So expect a lot more of this going forward with any of the Democrats really. And if you look, they're all being coddled and promoted by the media, which is what we can expect from not a free press, but from a political propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, which is what they are. Well, I got for you today, folks. If you didn't know, I do have another YouTube channel called DroneTech Media. I haven't done a whole lot with it up to this point, but I'm going to start soon. Go on over there. DroneTech Media, subscribe, and just sit tight. There's going to be some new hopefully exciting and entertaining content going to this channel very soon.


Chronic insomnia can affect not only your mood and alertness, but also your overall health. Medical conditions such as depression, chronic pain, or restless leg syndrome are common factors in chronic insomnia. When insomnia becomes a pattern that interferes with your daily life, you may have chronic insomnia and should see a health care provider for diagnosis if you lie awake and have difficulty falling asleep. You struggle to maintain sleep and wake frequently throughout the night several times a week for several months. You wake up too early and can't go back to sleep. You have poor quality, restless, or non-restorative sleep. You have any combination of these symptoms. Fortunately, for the majority of us, adopting healthy bedtime habits often make it easier to fall and stay asleep. Many times establishing a routine is effective, avoiding heavy meals and exercise within four hours of bedtime, sticking to a regular schedule of sleep and wake times even on the weekends, limiting stimulating activities in evening TV and computer time, establishing a soothing wind-down routine, making the bedroom dark and cozy and turning down the temperature are all strategies that can aid in more restful sleep. Professional Supplement Center offers high-quality supplement choices to promote restorative sleep. Please call or email us and one of our knowledgeable staff will be happy to assist you.
