We don't trust you, it's that if you need to transcript, we'd be very happy to provide. Very good. Well, I will need that. Sure. We're going to thank Ken Collins and down with him. So the head of VOA, who is now the Reader's Digestive President down there, you're having a very good time. Yes. And then our editor-in-chief thought that it might be more effective just one-on-one. So Ken deferred to me. I remember an interview once I had there at your... Have you ever seen their headquarters? No, I haven't. Well, it's kind of a beautiful country home. Out spacious lawns and so forth. It is indeed. The president absolutely captivated Dwight Wallace, our founder, for about four and a half hours. And then you finally had to leave to go make a speech, but it was a memorable lunch. So what we would like to do here, sir, is to ask you some questions so that our readers here in abroad, about 100 million of them, can have a better idea of President Reagan the man. And I'd like to start off by asking what has surprised you the most pleasantly and unpleasantly about being inside the government that you've had for so long observed from the outside? Well, first of all, I guess one surprise, whether pleasant or unpleasant, was at how little I was surprised. Because the eight years as governor of California, I realized when I came in here suddenly it wasn't a great shock as becoming governor had been, but the discovery of the kind of the routine, the scheduling, all of that. And while there was added the international situation, the rest was, as I say, not too shocking. There was, however, there was a surprise having to do with being the commander in chief and things of that kind. One part of it that shocked me a little bit was the first time, only weeks after we were here, the Jack Hill Patrick invited us down to a Sunday lunch at his house and the helicopter picked us up here in the lawn and very shortly we landed there at his farm. And he told me that they'd been there for several days installing the phones. And I said, what do you mean installing the phones? And that was when I found out that I can't even go across town to a lunch or a private dinner without phones are installed. And it was explained to me, well Jack explained it as they had explained it to him that wherever I was I had to have the ability to communicate any place in the world. And in telling him this they told him that they could reach anyone for me and he challenged them on that. And they said name someone. Now Jack is telling me all this. And he named a son of his who was on embassy guard in a country in Africa. And they got him on the phone and he and his wife got to talk to their son. So they asked him, anyone else? And he said he had another son who was a quarter master on the U.S.S. Pratt, a destroyer out in the sixth fleet, the Mediterranean. And when he said, well, do you get him? And they said no. Well, he said you said you could get anyone. Well, they said no. The fleet is on maneuvers. And the only one who can get the fleet when it's on maneuvers is the president. So Jack was telling me all this and we got there and we got in the house. I met the young man's wife, a very sweet young lady. Hadn't seen her husband for months. And I excused myself and went back out and I said, is this right that I can get someone in the U.S.S. Pratt in the sixth fleet? And they said, oh yes, sir.  And I went back in and got her. She got to talk to her husband whom she hadn't seen as I say for all those months. And I didn't realize what I'd done. It was a surprise to find out that with just a few words from me, I have to think a little better because I got a letter from quarter master, kill Patrick. And he told me that I would be surprised what air traffic was like. I hadn't even thought it through that the last portion of that call would be by radio. And he said that the air was talking to admirals, ships talking to ships constantly out of this. And then a voice on the air said, White House calling. And another voice said, what code is that? And another voice said maybe it's no code, maybe it's the White House. And he said even Hollywood could not have silenced the air as quickly as it was silenced. Then he said they came down and got a lowly quarter master on a destroyer to come to the phone. And he wrote this line, which I'll never forget. He said it was as if God had called the Vatican and asked for an altar boy by name. That's great. Making that call was obviously not the toughest decision you've had to make. What has been the toughest decision in the four and a half years? Well, there are a lot of the tough decisions, the ones in which there's so much right on both sides. I make the cabinet go over and over these things in front of me there. And I hear when there's differences of opinion because of the split between right and wrong. And when I've heard enough, I make the decision. I've always used the cabinet, as I did as governor, as a kind of a board of directors, except for one thing. They don't vote. I have to make the decision. But I think the hardest ones will always be those instances where you have to, or you order our young men in uniform to go someplace where their lives will be endangered. That is without doubt the most difficult. When you became president, you didn't have any foreign policy experience. Has your view of the world changed in the four and a half years? Well, I have to tell you that the premise is a little wrong. Not that I had been a diplomat in any way, except that, again, having been governor of California, while it didn't have a foreign policy, if California were a nation, it would be the seventh-ranking economic power in the world. So you had some interest in that. And it is, I guess, the biggest percentage of trade in and out of our country, is by way of California. But it wasn't that. I had always had an interest in international affairs, particularly because of the Soviet Union, and when I was president of the Screen Actors Guild, the effort of the communists to move in on the motion picture industry. And all I can tell you is that when I was running for governor, some of the press editorial lines that if I didn't stop talking about international affairs, I would never become governor. But I did have that interest. And then, as governor, four times the president asked me to do some missions and errands for him abroad that took me to 18 different countries in the world, and some of them several times, more than once. And so that has always been an interest of mine. And there wasn't much that had to be changed in my opinion about the good guys and the bad guys and what our responsibility was. Did it bother you that when you came into office, some or maybe even many European intellectuals or elitists viewed you as an actor cowboy with simplistic views about the world scene? And if it did bother you, do you think that view has been altered during your term? Well, it didn't really bother me so much because I had gone through that same thing being governor. There were some people that thought to go straight from the acting profession to governor without having held any other political offices as you've described it. No, it didn't bother me so much. I do think there has been a change now that we've become personally acquainted. When I say we, I mean heads of state of a number of our allies. We were all on a very cordial first name basis in say the economic summit and I don't think that prevails now. What books and what thinkers most influenced you before coming to the White House? That's a tough question because I have been a voracious reader. Whether it's books, non-fiction, as well as fiction, but that and articles, publications and so forth, I try to pick out someone in particular. I just don't think I can. I've opened myself up to just about all the viewpoints there are in that sense. My greatest dread, my nightmare is that sometime I might be caught in a hotel room someplace with nothing to read because I don't think I can go to sleep or shut my eyes if I didn't read myself to sleep at night. You mentioned before just in passing and I'd like to get back to it. Your role as president of the Screen Actors Guild. I've read that that period in your life perhaps more than any other shaped your attitudes and your policies. What did your experiences as a labor leader teach you? I was very proud of the Screen Actors Guild at that time. When I went into the job, I found that it existed on some very firm principles. For one thing, the Screen Actors Guild said the Guild will not be engaged in politics nor will there be politics in the Guild. We believe that our members were of every kind of philosophy and therefore there was no way that by even a majority vote we had a right to take a position politically that might be counter to the views of our members. We also, and for two decades, I was in charge most of the time of our negotiations of the re-institution of the basic contract with the producers and I discovered, I didn't institute it, I discovered it was already there. The Screen Actors Guild had its own rule which was as good a quality as it could be and we stuck to those things and I had the pleasure after some of those years of negotiating to have the head of one of the studios who was always very prominent and their negotiating committee tell me one day that when the Guild was first proposed the idea of an Actors Guild he was one who fought the hardest against it but he said I've come to believe that the Screen Actors Guild is the most constructive force for good in the motion picture industry. Could you describe briefly the fight with the communists over control of the Screen Actors Guild? Yes, and incidentally I was a New Deal Democrat fresh out of the war, out of uniform. We got out and there had been the eve of L.C.I.O. it had pledged, you know, no strikes and yet of the 43 Guilds and unions in the motion picture business most of us were eve of L.C.I.O. unions and this strike was a jurisdictional strike. It was called over whether some 350 people in the whole picture industry should be members of a stage hands union or members of the trade unions. We had that mix and back from the days of a great strike on Broadway in the theater days. There had been a tradition in the picture business to reconcile the differences between stage hands. What had happened in the theaters in the old days was that a stage hand did everything in the theater not just backstage with the stage so that the seat needed fixing out in front he came out like a carpenter and fixed the seat and this had led to the jurisdictional strike on Broadway and the settlement finally was that everything behind the proscenium arch belonged to the stage hands everything in front of it belonged to the craft unions plumbers, electricians and carpenters and so forth. In Hollywood they made the proscenium arch the sound stage door anything in there was stage hands but every studio had mills where they made in sections the sets and you'd see at the end of the day the sets for the next day shooting being wheeled down on rollers down the studio streets huge sections like the whole wall of this room here and all of it and into the sound stage in the sound stage then the stage hands union set erectors put these pieces together that was they were then behind the proscenium arch the issue that they picked for this jurisdictional strike was that the set erectors should be carpenters now carpenters worked in the mill and made those sections these fellows only put them together this led to the jurisdictional strike the then czar of the carpenters union had always had a rivalry with the stage hands so that was the cause of it during the war there had come subversion and infiltration of some of the unions even some of the AFL-CIO unions they had formed a rump group called the Hollywood conference of studio unions and this was in contrast to the AFL-CIO labor council so they were on one side and we on the other now I was not prepared I wasn't a red-bater so I say I was a New Deal Democrat and I had never gone for all of the stories I'd been told after I got back by some that there had been this kind of infiltration into the picture business I wasn't prepared to believe it I am the one who made the motion on the board of the guild I was a board member at the time as president I made the motion that as long as there was this difficulty that both sides giving a different reason as to why there was a strike why didn't we the actors who weren't involved in any way in that jurisdictional thing why didn't we invite management and both factions to sit down at a table with us present as a labor union to kind of be the mediator there and to protect against a man even who had nothing to do with the strike to sit down and find out because we had to tell our members whether to go through those picket lines or not and how do you take sides when a lot of the unions are in the studios and a lot of them are out on the street picketing and the board bought this idea and we invited them there was great reluctance on the part of the striking unions to join us but they didn't see any way that they could say no we met twice a day as it ended up for almost seven months of trying to settle these things but before long there was no question about it and I was completely converted and I found out that yes this was not a legitimate strike and I learned it even better when we made that decision and called a mass meeting of the screen actors for the Hollywood Legion Fight Stadium and it was voted that I was going to report the result of these meetings to the membership and give them the board's recommendation that we continue to go through the picket lines and honor our contract with the studios and that was to be on a Wednesday night and on a Monday afternoon I was on location in a picture we were making down at the beach and I was called to the phone at an oil station some distance away and came and got me drove me down there and I was told on the phone that if I made that report to the Guild Membership there was a squad that would see that I never worked in pictures again and so I made the report to the Guild and there were pickets outside the Guild meeting and so forth and I had about a three-quarters of a block walk to the parking lot where my car was parked afterward and I felt very comfortable and I found that about eight of the Teamsters Union all about the size of pro football players decided that they'd just walk to the car with me and before that by the time I got back to the studio that day after that call I've never heard of this in the law enforcement before but the Burbank police in which the studio was located and representatives there at the studio and the special police which were the guards of the studio were assigned to my house for 24 hours a day around the clock and they also gave me a permit and a revolver under my arm and a shoulder holster so that was the beginning and I guess you didn't want the whole load on this strike but it did go on for a number of months till finally there was no giving in at all we kept the studios open with the help of the unions in and the management and as long as we were in front of the cameras there wasn't any way they could stop making pictures and finally it just was a case of which we said to the people who were out on strike you can get back into the studio the best way you know how but in some of those meetings with them the strike committee because they weren't all communists I actually sat and heard studio executive I mean union executives of some of the unions speaking to their chairman and saying look we know the communists have got control of this strike and we've got to get it back in our hands they were legitimately fooled they didn't realize and that was the history of it and was in that that I learned something that kind of set the stage for me as governor and later on here during all those months you know there couldn't be help but be times in which I said to myself who am I to be making these decisions for thousands of actors and actresses whose careers are at stake and I found out that what I recommended they would do and then I finally decided the only way I could sleep at night was to make up my mind that if I did what I honestly believed and my heart was right I may make a mistake but if I could honestly believe that that was the right thing to do that's what we'd do and when I became governor I told the cabinet that on any issue that would confront us I did not want to hear any of the political ramifications of the issue I only wanted to hear what was right or wrong for the people and we'd make the decision on that basis not on any political basis and I found I do sleep very well If I can ask you one more Hollywood question as an actor you played many many roles is there any one role you would like to have played but never got an opportunity to Oh I have to tell you there were many such once you're in that business and doing it you see a picture and you think oh boy and you find out the things you said that you would do different and so forth but yes there was one other in a picture called Santa Fe Trail which I played the second lead I was not a star then to Earl Flynn and it was an historical picture and he played Jeb Stewart and I played George Custer and all the others were there and we were just graduated from West Point and into the Cavalry of the capture of John Brown and played that and I always loved those I didn't these people that say cowboy actor good lord my biggest fight with Warner Brothers after I was there 13 years was they wouldn't let me do pictures like that I was doing the drawing room comedies and so forth and then they made they died with their boots on the story of George Custer and once oh boy I wanted to play that part and I went to Hal Wallace and I begged and so forth and I said but I played Custer once and that part's mine now but Earl Flynn played George Custer I didn't get to commentators and some former presidents have talked of the loneliness of the presidency and the burdens of the presidency yet you seem to approach the job with great relish burdensome how would you describe it no I don't I surrounded myself with people that I have confidence in that I believe in I don't think that I sit here all alone and decide everything by myself I as I say I want to hear everybody's viewpoint and I don't give any indication of where I lean while I hear those viewpoints and I've had people in our cabinet who were cabinet officers under other presidents tell me that they had never been in cabinet meetings that were as fruitful before evidently a lot of presidents just simply use their cabinet as kind of a well they'd meet periodically and different members would report what their departments were doing they the word that I've gotten from these others is that they never were in cabinet meetings where everybody regardless of whether it affected their particular agency were involved in the discussion but no I and maybe again it was the the eight years experience I have to believe for many years recently we've taken our presidents from the ranks of the legislators I think the best training the closest job to being president in the United States is being a governor a legislator is used to being in a group and on a committee and making decisions on a voting basis majority rule only a governor has sat there and when finally knows that the final say has got to be his or hers and so maybe that's I attribute part of this to that I don't say it's easy there are a lot of decisions that after I've heard all of that and as I say the ones that where there's so much right on both sides that are very difficult but no I don't I don't have that that feeling every day you receive detailed intelligence briefings on the entire world what information you've received most shocked the well of course the the greatest shock was a telephone call on a weekend about three o'clock in the morning when a couple of us or a few of us were down Regan and George Schultz and our wives were down at Augusta country club I'd never been there before we'd gone down at George Schultz's invitation for a weekend of golf and it was the word about the bombing of the Marines in Lebanon and that there's no way to describe the horror and the grief as the word came in about that and in this other my great concern stems from that same thing the increased use of terrorism which we have to believe is backed by some governments it's so hard to fight because unless you could infiltrate and know in advance what is being planned there's no way to know where they're going to strike next you could retaliate with just outright revenge if you didn't care how much terrorism you caused but until you know where who those individuals are and where they could be reached I've never believed that we have a right to just simply go into an area of people who might be of the same general background and slaughter some of them in revenge so it's it's one of the most frustrating and one of the causing the greatest concern because you know that you can't abandon your positions you can't withdraw ambassadors and diplomatic staff and so forth or the terrorists of one and you can't let them do that but you know that all those people out there are at risk every minute I can ask you for your reactions to two other moments of crisis in your administration what was your feeling when you decided finally to send American troops to Grenada well this again you knew that the final say has got to be his or hers and so maybe that's I attribute part of this to that I don't say it's easy there are a lot of decisions that after I've heard all of that and as I say the ones that where there's so much right on both sides that are very difficult but no I don't I don't have that feeling every day you receive detailed intelligence briefings on the entire world what information you've received most shocked or worried you the well of course the the greatest shock was a telephone call on a weekend about three o'clock in the morning when a couple of us or a few of us were Don Regan and George Schultz and our wives were down at Augusta Country Club I'd never been there before we'd gone down at George Schultz's invitation for a weekend of golf and it was the word about the bombing of the Marines in Lebanon and that there's no way to describe the horror and the grief as the word came in about that and in this other my great concern stems from that same thing the increased use of terrorism which we have to believe is backed by some governments it's so hard to to fight because unless you could infiltrate and know in advance what is being planned there's no way to know where they're going to strike next you could retaliate with just outright revenge if you didn't care how much terrorism you caused but until you know who those individuals are and where they could be reached I've never believed that we have a right to just simply go into an area of people who might be of the same general background and slaughter some of them in revenge so it's it's one of the most frustrating and one of the causing the greatest concern because you know that you can't abandon your positions in the world you can't withdraw ambassadors and diplomatic staff and so forth or the terrorists of one and you can't let them do that but you know that all those people out there are at risk every minute if I can ask you for your reactions to other moments of crisis in your administration what was your feeling when you decided finally to send American troops to Grenada to Grenada? Well this again you knew that there was going to be a hazard and there was going to you were endangering their lives but this again on that same weekend as the blow up in Beirut of all things this also awoke before dawn with a phone call and it seems that the several small island states those that had been or in the commonwealth of the United Kingdom they had this word of what was going on in Grenada and they felt that it was of such importance that action had to be taken they were all in a union together with Grenada but they knew that they didn't you know some of them don't even have an army they knew that they didn't have the military strength to do it and they made an outright request to us I didn't feel that there was any way that they presented to that we could turn down that request and ever be trusted or believed to any place in the free world so sitting there and there was before dawn hours on the phone with George Bush at this end and the emergency group assembled we made the decision that we were going to do what they'd asked we were going to join it was an international thing although we provided the bulk of the force when the chiefs of staff were entrusted with putting the mission together I made only one suggestion I said when you decide how many you think it'll take then double it and this one we managed to keep a complete secret and that it worked there were some deaths but I've never been so proud of anything in my life as I was of those young men in uniform in the four branches of the service that were involved and even more so when about four hundred when our stake was I shouldn't have left this out this was a great consideration of ours we had 800 young medical students Americans on that island and the thought of another hostage situation with 800 young Americans there was no way that we could tolerate that and so that was the big deciding factor in addition to the other thing that I said then when I about 400 of them came here to say thanks to the south lawn and we had about 40 of the returned service men by that time back from the four about 10 each from the four services and to see these young people and there were all young people the people in uniform and the medical students those medical students couldn't keep their hands off them and they'd come back to me and they'd say I never really thought much about the people in uniform before I wasn't in other words they were kind of that rebellious type but not anymore they said they saved our lives and I heard a story of some who in their dormitory had been under the beds for 24 hours the bullets coming through the building and then they said from downstairs they heard a voice and it was an American sergeant a ranger and identified himself and called out for them to come down and they told these were the students telling me they said he was there in the Marines or the Rangers to take them to the helicopters and they told us that when they went to the helicopters those young men in uniform would let themselves between the students and where any fire would come from from the hills from the opposition and literally shielded them with their own bodies and getting them to the helicopters and there so I had a great pride when it was over but it did it made me realize what other presidents who have had to ask for a declaration of war what it meant one other reaction question what was your reaction when you heard about KAL Flight 007 being shot down and how did you hear about it I'm trying to think now where I was I can't remember exactly where I was but and as you'll remember there was some it had disappeared from the radar screen so there was still some question before final verification of what had actually happened to it and that it was gone and the people were dead and then of course it was shocked even though I thought that it was it verified what I've believed about the lack of respect for human life that is felt by those in charge of the Soviet Union and it was following that that I made a statement about an evil empire I wanted to ask you you did call the Soviet Union the evil empire you've seen the Soviets shoot down 007 and murder an American major at other times you suggested that you and Mr. Gorbachev can work together to achieve peace are those contradictory positions no not at all I thought in the beginning of this administration when questions were asked of me in press conferences and so forth about the Soviet Union I spoke bluntly about what I felt that I knew about them and the fact that they are expansionists they are aggressive they have never withdrawn and retracted the Lenin statement that their mission is a one world communist state but at the same time we have to live in the world together and I have to I believe that the only way there will be World War 3 is if the Soviet Union wants a war if they want peace there will be peace because no one else wants a war we certainly don't I've never known of a war my lifetime that we started and so I think that it is necessary that we face each other we know they don't like our system or us and we don't like their system but we have to see if we can't get along in the world and as I say they're the only ones that can cause a war do you expect to be meeting with Mr. Gorbachev? well I'm hopeful that that will come about we've had expressions that yes they're willing the ball's in their court we've invited them and it's our turn to invite and we're ready when they are but it's it's necessary for them to know that we don't have any illusions about them but at the same time we're willing to exist in the world with them and it's time that we set down and found out where the parameters are you noted the other day that the Soviets have spent $500 million to prop up Marxist regime in Nicaragua but the houses refuse to commit even $14 million to help freedom fighters why have you not been able to convince the people that the cause of the Contras and aiding the Contras is the right cause? I think part of it is the sophisticated disinformation campaign apparatus that the communist block has worldwide to where they've been able to confuse a great many of our people even the terms we use and I wish we hadn't I wish we'd started doing something I'm going to do later on if we had referred not to the Sandinistas but to the communists not to the Contras but as to the freedom fighters that these are Nicaraguans fighting for freedom in their own country against a communist takeover when you say those terms polls have revealed that a lot of our people out there you know most people are not who they are what they are and so forth and hearing these terms Sandinista government Contras and so forth most people aren't quite sure which side we're on or what's at stake and after Vietnam there is a holdover of the Vietnam syndrome there is a feeling well is this the United States sticking its nose in something none of our business yet when you ask them in polls questions about do you want another Cuba on the mainland of the Americas here a communist then the people will say no they don't want that so I think part of it is the disinformation and we haven't been able to overcome it but also our lack of outright explanation to them we found after I made that one speech on Nicaragua on the air there was a great turn around but that was one speech the disinformation kept on and on and just like advertising constantly it wore it away and gradually it went back again to the people thinking oh maybe we're doing the wrong thing in Nicaragua what's the significance of last question pardon me well two questions I'll make them good and Mr. President if we could do what we did when we interviewed you in 81 still some more questions if I can leave them with Pat and if he can get to you in the next couple of days to do those that would be very happy to do fine let me see being a reader of Reader's Digest well thank you your first accomplishment in 1981 was to push through a huge tax cut now you're fighting for revamping of the entire tax code when did you first start thinking about what you call the disgraceful inequities of the tax system well I've always believed in those are always well for a lot of years I think it has gotten so out of line so complicated I've thought that most of our people or many of our people discussed with the tax system wasn't based on the size of the tax but on the complication the confusion of it and in 81 we had we were faced with the emergency we felt of the recession then and what had to be done so we couldn't think reform but if you remember in talking about our first tax program many times we said this is only the first stage this isn't the end we want to come back and what we wanted to come back with was a reform to make it more fair more simple so that's been in our minds from the very beginning one last question and then I will leave the extra questions with Pat it's been four years since you were shot how has that attempt on your life changed your life the way you look at things I don't know whether it's changed my life or not I'm a pretty good boy about minding the security people when they told me not to go there and not to go there it has changed their life physically in a number of ways well now that coupled with the whole terrorist thing it wasn't just that with the whole terrorist thing there are things that I can't do anymore and I recognize it for example we can't go to church and I miss that but I recognize it's not just me I'm a threat to other people if I go to some place like that with the various terrorist practices carbons and everything else I could be responsible for the lives of a lot of other people so I'm reconciled to that the the whole thing of that shooting though you know I went all the way to the hospital and walked into the emergency room on my own not knowing I'd been shot I was shot in mid-air when the secret service behind me I thought it was firecrackers and I had just finished saying what the was that when I was grabbed and thrown into the limousine the door was open and as it turns out that's I was shot on the way in the bullet came through the gap between the door the hinge gap between the door and the side of the car the reason is they showed me the bullet after they got it out and it was flattened out and covered with black paint from the car but I thought because then he did what his secret service practice he dived into the car on top of me to shield me and it was then for the first time that I felt pain I always assumed after all those movies where if you were shot you grabbed yourself and looked agonized and fell down I always thought that you felt it when it hit you it didn't it was after he landed on me so I thought he'd done it and I thought what had happened the only thing I could reconcile with a paralyzing pain was that he must have broken my ribs and I told him get off I think you and he did very quickly and we got up by that time the door was closed and we were moving and he said sit back I said I can't it hurts too much by this time I had sat up and suddenly I coughed and I had a handful of blood well that's again I still said I must have broken and they punctured my lung and by this time he was saying George Washington Hospital and I used up my handkerchief and then I used up his that continued coughing I got a little scared because it seemed to me I was having that I was getting less air every time I breathed in and it wasn't until they peeled me because there was no great flow of blood or anything in the outside and then it was explained because when they found it back here it was just a narrow slit that flattened bullet had gone in edge wise and it hit a rib and then it tumbled down through the lung and stopped just short of the heart but that it afterward and with the time of recovery also I feel self-conscious saying this well I had a feeling that whatever was left in time to me belonged to somebody else thank you Mr. President thank you very much thank you sir very much thank you good to see you again thank you Mr. Jeff Kitts now sir I'll get him I'll walk Bill won't you wait a second yeah we'll get him


what I'm going to do is I'm going to rip and stack all these together and then we'll flip through. That's the little better viewing experience in my opinion. This is how we do the case breaks of it. Again, everybody, this is the last one of the night. Pretty awesome to hit a unit common arrow out of this. Guys lining it up right now. Has been pretty much the entire time he's been in American baseball. And I imagine before that too, whatever they paid him to raise as a signing, they got a steel paper, Tristan Kossus on the spotlight. Roman Anthony, first chrome, Luis Lara. Roman Anthony at top 100 prospect now. Jorge Refrector is Osuna at a $4.99. I'm going to get that dusted off before I top load. Actually, let me do it now just in case if it is whatever even damaged. Looks good. Put the camera right off. Might be a little bit of like roller line going on there, but the dust came off. Ramirez, Bergoya. Science on September, Jordan Walker. Jacob Berry, Chrome. Gaten Edwin Arroyo. Rada Baez. Vachero Samuel Munoz. Miguel Vargas. Jackson Choryo Drew Jones, base chrome. Miguel Blase. Jackson Holliday. Still no auto yet. Got Lunar Glow Anthony Poguero. So the auto will be coming in the second half of this stack, the second half of the box, I should say. Carlos Kalmanara's inserts. The Lunar Glow here is Ambiore Tavares. There's the auto. And it's a Refrector first moment auto of Andrew Taylor at a $4.99. That's crazy, Jake. That sounds a lot like certain prospects do that a lot. There's always someone that could trade it for like Jordan Alvarez. Then there being like absolute studs. Yellow Paper. Lazaro Montez, 16 of 75. Rodriguez, Hector Rodriguez. Gunner Henderson, a few of the year inserts. Maybe one more nice chrome parallel here, hopefully. Oh wait, the Tony Blanco had an atomic behind it. I'm sorry. That was a Henry Davis. Just like stuck, just clinging to it. Henry Davis Atomic. Suna Garcia. Andy Pajes. Marcus Lee Sang, Logan Wagner. Jordan Adela Santos. And base of Martinez and Rojas. Appreciate the order, Brian. We'll get these cards out to you in a bit. Thanks again, everybody, for hanging out tonight. Do appreciate it. Again, Sam's live tomorrow at five Eastern. I'll see y'all Wednesday for Chronicles basketball release day. Matt Scott Baseball breaks that day as well. You know a lot of good stuff. Breaks are scheduled through Saturday. I'll get Sunday scheduled here in a bit. Thanks, everybody. See you tomorrow.


Okay, we've been moving right along with our HTML5 Canvas tutorials. Today we're going to be looking at different types of fills. So far we've been filling with solid colors, but today we're going to be working with gradient fills. So that's where it fades from one color to another, or more than one color. But let's go ahead and get started. I'm using Vim as my text editor. That's my preference. Use whatever text editor you prefer. Also I want to just give recognition to HTML5CanvasTutorials.com. Not getting any money from them, not getting any kickbacks from them. That's where I've learned most of my Canvas stuff, and I want to give credit there, because I'm basically reading off my notes that I took when I went through their tutorials. So my tutorials are similar to theirs. But here we go. So this is a series. If you have not watched the previous videos in this series, you may want to check that out. There should be an annotation on the screen for that. So I got my browser up here. I got my editor down here at the basic HTML, and now what we're going to do is we want to, we're going to fill in the entire Canvas. So let me real quick make this full screen. I'll hit F12 to bring up my, in Chrome, my little console tools here. I'm going to go Elements, sorry, I almost sneezed. I'm going to click the magnifying glass here and go right there. You can see this is our Canvas. It's 600 pixels by 300 pixels. So you can see that clearly there. F12 to close that, I'm going to show you. You can see that that's what we have it set to here, but I wanted to point that out so you can see where we're going to fill in our gradient colors. So now that we've got our Canvas and our context here, we're going to draw a rectangle that's the entire size of the Canvas, and that's what we're going to fill. So I'm going to say context.rect for rectangle, and then we're going to give a position. We want to start in the top left of our Canvas, so 0 comma 0, so 0 pixels over, 0 pixels down. Now we want to draw the box over, and we want to fill up our entire Canvas, so we could put in 600 comma 300, but then if we change the size of our Canvas, we'd have to go back and change that. So what we're going to do is we're going to use canvas.width and canvas.height. So again, you can put in the numbers manually, but it's always a good practice to check the value of stuff and use variables when you can, just in case, thing you decide to resize your canvas later. You don't have to go and change it in multiple places in your code. So there we've created a rectangle, and now we're not actually going to draw the rectangle, but that rectangle is actually there now. We're not going to call the stroke option, which we have in the past. The stroke method will draw it, but even if we don't draw it, it's there at this point. But what we are going to do is we're going to create, well, here let me show you context.fillStyle, and this is case sensitive. Style will say equals, and I'll say blue, and it will say context.fill. So now that we have that, I'll save it. And although we didn't stroke our rectangle, which is drawing the outer edge of the rectangle, we did fill it. At five up here, you can see that we have now filled our rectangle with blue, but we want it to be gradient. Go from, in this case, we'll probably go from red to blue. So let's go ahead and work on that. So we're going to say var, and we're going to create a variable called grd for gradient. Now I'm going to say context.create linear gradient. Now we're going to create the gradient. We want it to go the entire size of our rectangle, which is the entire size of our canvas. So just like before, we're going to say start at 0 comma 0, and go to the canvas.width. Now if you don't want it to go with the entire width and height, maybe you want it to only go halfway. You can do that as well. In fact, we'll play with that here in a moment, comma canvas.height. So we've created that. Now we've got to tell it what colors we want. So we're going to now say take that object we just created, the grd for gradient, and we're going to add a color stop. Now the color stops are the different points, the different colors you want, and you want to tell it from its entire distance where you want to stop for each color, and also what colors you want it to be. And the value for the spacing is 0 through 1. So if you want it to go the entire width, the one of your colors will have to be at 0, and the other one will be at 1. So we'll say 0, and I'll say blue. Then I'm going to say gradient, add, color, stop, and we'll go the entire distance of our object. We'll say 1, comma, and we'll say red here. Now we need to change our fill style from blue. We're going to get rid of the quotations as well and use that variable we created, we saved that, we hit F5, we now have a gradient that goes from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, so it's kind of an angle right there, fading from one color to another. So obviously we can change these. I can also put in, I don't know, yellow if I wanted, or really any value for different colors. But I do like the look of the red and blue. There we go. As I was saying here, we're going from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. If we want to stop halfway, we can also say the width divided by 2 and the height divided by 2. That should work. There we go. So the blue is starting here, and before the red was starting here and we're meeting halfway. Well now we have the blue here and the red here, and then it's fading halfway. So everything past the center point, or this way going down and to the right, is going to be 100% red. So that's how you can divide that up. Let's put it back to the full length. There we go. So now we have 100% blue, top left, 100% red, bottom right, and fading from one to another through the middle there. And we can also do different colors. So let's add a few different lines here. I'm just going to copy and paste to save some time. And as I said, these values for the stops are from 0 to 1. Kind of like 0 to 100. We're just using decimals. Think of it that way if it's easier for you. I'm going to say 0.3 of the way and 0.6 of the way. So kind of in thirds here. We're going to go, we'll say that one's red. Well, we'll just go red, blue, red, blue. How about that? So there we go. We got our different stopping points here. Red, blue, red, blue. So we're dividing it up different ways there. And of course you could do different colors if I wanted to go yellow there. I could. And we have yellow over there. You could also do, oh, I didn't mean to. I meant to change this one. We'll say green. So now we got blue, red, green, and yellow. The red is more sharp of a fade there just because blue and red are on opposite sides of the spectrum there where green and yellow are close to each other. So the fade isn't as sharp. If that makes sense, if you know anything about color mixing. Okay. So now we've done this. We could also use this. Well, we are using this in an object. We're doing a rectangle. But if you have other objects, you can fill them the same way. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy this, save an X out of that. And I'm going to go, if you remember our last tutorial we did on line joints. We created this object. Let's see if I can go back. There we go. Then we filled with blue. Well, we can also add in. So I'm going to copy and paste my indentations a little different here. Let's fix that just so everything looks nice. In fact, I'm going to delete that line and that line. So here we got our gradient that we're creating up there. We're giving it values. And then we're drawing our path and filling it. And down here I should be able to do this and hit F5 up here. It looks red because we're still drawing the full length of the canvas. And this just happens to fall in the reds area. We can change either the location that our gradient starts and ends up here. So I can say 100 there. And I can say the width, I'll say, I'll just do half the canvas. So now you can see more of the colors. I could also change where they stop and start and put them a little closer together. So I can say blue will start at 0.2. Green will be at 0.4. There we go. We're getting a little bit more of the colors. But you can gradiently fill any path object that you have closed. Well, actually, as I've shown in a pre-story, you don't have to close them either. But anything that you can fill, you can fill with a gradient. So to fill the entire background of the canvas, we just used a rectangle that we didn't draw to be the entire size of the canvas. Also, we could have probably, down here, we are using stroke to stroke the object. That sounds so wrong. We can comment that out. If I refresh this, you can see the fill is still there. We're just never drawing. The object is still there. It's just never drawn because we never call the stroke method. But that's it for this tutorial. Next time we're going to look at these were linear gradients. Next time we're going to look at radial, which instead of being straight across, we're going to have circular gradients. So that's what we're going to do next week. I hope that you join me. Hope you're enjoying these tutorials. I know that they're pretty basic at this point. But as we move along, we'll get more and more advanced. Thank you for watching. Please visit filmsbychrist.com. That's Chris at the K. There should be a link in the description. Also, if you go to my site, there should be a link to my Pastebin account. Also, you can go to Pastebin. My username is MetalX1000. I think you should be able to look me up there. And pretty much all these scripts are going to be saved on my account there. So you can look at them there if you want. But I recommend typing stuff out. It'll help you learn better. Anyway, as always, I hope that you have a great day.


This tutorial is sponsored by environment textures comm high quality images for 3d artists and game developers Hello there beautiful people and in this video tutorial or video tutorial series depending on which way you choose to view it I'm going to be showing you How to go about making this beautiful low polygon barrel and it's using a high polygon to low polygon workflow, so What you will do is using a reference image such as this one here You're going to create a low polygon mesh like this from a high polygon Mesh like this one so you can see this one's got quite a lot of beveling going on And you can see that the number of triangles in this is well over 6000 which would be very wasteful for something like a barrel So we're going to use normal map baking to reduce that number down to in this case I've got 352 and it's got a massive amount of detail in it We're also going to be looking at using a PBR shader So in this case we're going to be using the Stingray PBR and you can see That without all that detail on this is what our Low polygon barrel looks like so we're going to put a lot of work into this we're going to create a really Beautiful normal that seeing see this is just the same polygon count, but look how detailed it now looks We're going to use a metallic map to tell it which parts of the the shader should show as metal We're also going to add a roughness mapping so that the wood looks wooden and the metal looks shiny Obviously, of course the important one to make it look right. There'll be a color map on there as well a diffuse map To finish that all off If you want to take a look at the finished file itself the actual Maya file where I've created the barrel as well as the Texture files that I've created in Photoshop Then you can access those by becoming a patron if you look at the link below you can go to patreon Look at my page and if you want to support me Then you'll get access to pretty much everything I do on this channel as well as if you want to become a patron You can ask me additional questions. I'm about to start doing a monthly Session maybe one to two hours where my patrons will be able to join me in a Google hangout You know, we'll talk about modeling. I'll make some stuff. I'll show people answer questions whatever so You could consider that if you want to be a part of all of that But I think that's enough Introduction he stuff done. We should probably get stuck into making this barrel. Shouldn't we shouldn't we okay? stick around we'll move on to step one in a sec


I saw Conan O'Brien, he tweeted today that he just realized that when we fall back, we have to add an extra hour to 2020.  I'm Corbin. I'm Ray. Pizza ground, Twitter, juicy content! It's so juicy. Bye! Also on personal YouTube channels, links in the description below. Today we're reacting to, I think it's a song, it's called Color White. I was showing my skin, because it's very white. How white is it on your booty? That's never seen the sun. Almost all by now. But it's from, I believe, this group. Pariyaz? Description. This song is from one of India's best indie rock bands, Pariyaz. It's a Bangalore-based band, founded by two Kashmiri musicians and two from Bangalore. They write their songs in Kashmiri and Urdu, and you can hear psychedelic rock blues influences in their music. Cool. Their songs typically also carry the nostalgia and sadness, frustrations of the people of the region. Not sure how many outside of the indie rock circuit know them, but they truly deserve to be known to the world. Cool. Awesome. I like rock. Yep. Here we go. I think it was sung by our shovers, too. Thank you, shovers. Thank you, shovers. Fargo? It could be Fargo, then. Thank you, Asad. Beautiful job. Guarantee that was... I mean, some of the words that were in there, the choices of those words. Yeah. The lyrics, everything about the song was gorgeous. The singing, the instrumentals, the visuals. But especially the lyrics. They're just gorgeous lyrics, like poetry, basically. And I've been so impressed. It's obviously just American ignorance, obviously. But obviously, before we started reacting to Indian stuff, you definitely never thought of India as having bands. Right. Like, if you thought about it, you're like, okay, yeah, there's probably some bands, obviously, but they're probably not very good. But you think of, okay, they probably just play the sitar.  You know, I'm not saying now. I'm saying before we ever knew anything about India. Sure. That's probably what most, at least, Americans think. Right. But I've been so impressed because there's so many great bands that have such talent. It's quite impressive, and this was no exception. Yeah, I love the video itself, and I don't know how much of this I got. But I was trying to figure out while we're watching it, and I'm listening to the lyrics, and I'm watching the visuals as far as color white. And my suspicion, I could be way off. But my suspicion is the snow. Well, yeah. But it's analogous of the struggle of people in that region of India and how their struggle is one where they feel, they know they're not alone because they have other people who were there going through the same struggle they're going through. But it also feels very isolating in the rest of the world. By the time somebody gets to even see the tracks they've made in the snow that are saying, this is my struggle, more snow comes and falls on it and just completely erases what just happened. And it's like this sense of what's the whole point of even striving to fight to be heard and to make connection. I thought it was really powerful. They're walking right to each other. And they just walk right past each other. And that sense of that tension between the futility of what everything seems and feels like to, I can't escape the fact that I believe things can change. I think that's what it's trying to convey. At least that's what I got. And that color white is this sense of, and I love that pull away shot at the end, that to basically everybody else who's not living in it. Number one, you don't know what it feels like.  And experientially, the struggle is so foreign to you that it's just like white noise. It's just, you don't, as much as you want to try and understand what we're going through, you can't, but we need you to. It's that tension of, it's not going to change until you start paying attention to it. If that's what they intended, that's great.  Is this, is Kashmir one of the, obviously, obviously I know they have, there's a lot going on in Kashmir. Obviously I'm not, but are they, is that what most of the time they're talking about is the fact that you hear all this stuff on the news, but you're not, you're not living here. I think unless you fully understand what it's like, the good and the bad, you don't know what it's like. You just, all you do is you hear it on the news. Right. I think unless you're Kashmiri and you live there and you've experienced it and you see what's going on day in and day out, that you probably don't really comprehend what's happening there. Kashmir is one of the most beautiful places we, it's been featured in obviously a lot of videos we've seen and a lot of movies as well. It's gorgeous. It's a beautiful place. Like in the south of India, I think of Kerala in terms of just, right, at least, I know there's a ton of beautiful places obviously, but that's like the first place. I'm like, I really want to go there. I've seen so much stuff. How beautiful it is. Yeah. In the north, I think of Kashmir because everything we've seen is just, it looks mountainous, snow, gorgeous. Yeah. Kashmir is always, every visual we've ever seen from over there, it's so funny. It reminds me of stories I've heard from soldiers who fought in Vietnam. One of the striking things the soldiers who fought in Vietnam said was how gorgeous Vietnam is. And then when they first got there, it was so weird to think a war was going on in such a beautiful place. That's why I thought of a mash if you've never seen it. They filmed it here in Los Angeles in the mountains. There are some, it's like a foresty kind of area, but it's mostly deserty, especially what it looked like in the show itself. Vietnam's very tropical. Mash was Korea. It was Korea. Yeah, it was Korea. But still, that's tropical. Exactly. Yeah, it's tropical. And it is. It's in the same location where the little house on the prairie set was. Oh, that was over there. Yeah, it's on the same basic area of Square Mile over there. Yeah, we did exteriors for Little House. It was in the same. We're in the same general area, which isn't too far from where they do Westworld exteriors right now. Oh, yeah. Yeah, out through Malibu Canyon. That's cool. But anyway, that was gorgeous. It was really pretty. Let us know more from them and any other indie rock band. I'm glad we started to explore them a lot because there's a lot of really talented bands out there that we enjoy. And oftentimes they'll often reach out after we react to stuff and say thank you so much. Because I know a lot of people know about them, but I know a lot of people don't know about them sometimes as well. Outside their region. Yeah, and I'm glad that in a small way we're able to introduce these bands to more people because they deserve it. So anytime, let us know more down below. You killed me.


As the 2023 general elections draw closer, the governorship candidate of the Akkot Party, Dumor Lulubriks, has advised the Riverstead Governor Nisamweke not to overheat the polity in the state. Dumor expressed this while reacting to the Executive Order 21 and 22 banning political parties from the use of buildings in residential areas as campaign officers without approval. He described it as the height of a responsibility on the side of Governor Nisamweke and the PDP.  You should not want that. But you take actions to prevent people from campaigning. And we have always wondered why are afraid of this contest.  You say the other parties don't have structures. Yet those who don't have structures are frightening you so very much that you want to even close your campaign offices. Well, this is the height of irresponsible political party, the PDP, but a special grace of God. As you can see, every step that they take, we try to ensure that we remain very peaceful in Riverstead. But that's the whole idea. The governorship election, pre-election matter filed by PDP against our candidate, which was filed later. The prices are also in, but there were issues of service of some process by INEC Council. They were regularised today, but the plaintiffs still require state time for them to respond. That would be about the only outstanding issue. So when we are back by God's grace next week on 25th, we are going to take the substantive case in the governorship pre-election filed by PDP against our candidate's nomination, which has nothing to do with its qualification. In fact, it's all about some delegates that have voted at the consensus primary where our candidate emerge. The principal complaint in the matter is that the Accord party held the Congress's primaries for the nomination of those candidates outside the various constituencies. Under the law, we believe that that renders it invalid. INEC knew about it. INEC published a report where they made it clear that they were aware that these primaries held outside the constituencies. So the PDP's case is that INEC has no right to then include the names of candidates who did not comply, whose political party did not comply with the requirement of the law.

We're going to look at verses one to nine as we worship the Lord by giving. And after we do this, our brother Edgar is going to come and pray. This is Jerome's last Sunday, Pastor Jerome's last Sunday before going off to the Dominican Republic for a few weeks para que pueda aprender español. So we want to pray for him as he goes. At Exodus 25 verses one to nine, then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Speak to the children of Israel that they bring me an offering from everyone who gives it willingly with his heart. You shall take my offering. And this is the offering which you shall take from them gold, silver and bronze, blue, purple and scarlet thread, fine linen and goat's hair, ram skins dyed red, badger skins and acacia wood, oil for the light and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, onyx stones and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. And let them make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it. Beginning in chapter 25 and continuing through the end of the book of Exodus, we read of God's instructions to Moses concerning the design and construction of the tabernacle. Very explicit instructions as we see in verse nine. It says, according to all that I show you, just so you shall make it. It's kind of amazing that so much of God's word would be focused on these details. But the lessons God wants his people to learn were taught in the details of the design. And among those was that it was to be a beautiful tabernacle made with beautiful and precious materials intended to reflect the beauty and majesty of God. This tabernacle was to be symbolic of God's dwelling with men and prefigures God's indwelling of men. In fact, in John 1.14 where we read, and the word of God became flesh and dwelt among us, the word dwelt means to pitch a tabernacle and calls to mind this same tabernacle that's to be pitched by the Jews who themselves lived and pitched tents. But I want to draw your attention particularly to verse two and the use of the word offering. The Hebrew word is truma. My Hebrew is not very good, but it's a word, a different word than the word used for tithes. It's the same root of the word we find in Malachi 3.8 where we read, will a man rob God yet you have robbed me, but you say in what way have we robbed you in tithes and offerings? So tithes and offerings are different, but they're closely connected. I think you could say that a tithe is an offering, but an offering is more than a tithe. And our duty before God is to bring both tithes and to bring offerings. The New Testament affirms tithing.  You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former. There are other passages in the New Testament that are relevant there, but with this subject of offerings, I wanted to get some help from noted theologian Dave Ramsey. Obviously I'm being facetious, but he got this right. He put it this way. He said, like llamas and alpacas, tithes and offerings are often grouped together, but they're definitely not the same thing. A tithe is a specific amount, 10% of your income that you give first, and an offering is anything extra that you give beyond that. After you've tithed and paid all your bills and necessary expenses for the month, you can then use any extra money in your budget to give even more. This can include a cash offering to your church above and beyond your normal tithe, and he mentioned some other things. But here in Exodus 25, God is calling on his people through Moses to bring offerings for the construction of the tabernacle. He says, speak to the children of Israel that they bring me an offering from everyone who gives it willingly with his heart, you shall take my offering. So tithes and offerings should be given willingly. There should be in us delight in the duty. Heart felt gratitude for what God has done for us. And just to think of what God had done for the Jews who were to worship in the tabernacle and to think of how that parallels what he's done for us, except for us in amazingly more complete and profound ways. One commentator in describing this and commenting on Exodus 25 said, God had rescued them from slavery. He had showered them with treasure. He had delivered them from their enemies. He had led them through the wilderness. He had provided water to drink and food to eat. He had given them his law and shown them his glory. He had provided atonement for their sins through the blood of his covenant. Out of the rich abundance of his grace, he had done everything necessary for their salvation. And when they reflected on what God had done, their hearts swelled with gratitude. They were compelled by grace to give something back to God. We are compelled to, amen. Let's pray. Father in heaven, we are like the Jews who were delivered from bondage. There's nothing they had to give that you had not provided. The riches of the Egyptians became theirs as they were delivered. And the wood was from trees you created and the animal hides were from animals you had provided. And in the same way, everything we have has come from your hand.  Amen.


Cruise tourism has been officially reintroduced to St. Lucia with a cruise call by Celebrity Millennium. The return of cruise tourism to the island is indicative of the reinstatement of revenue for cruise-dependent income earners. Government officials and stakeholders will hand out podcast trees to welcome passengers with grand fanfare and treats. How many Mark has details on this momentous occasion? The Castries spot lit up with fanfare as St. Lucia on Tuesday welcomed Celebrity Millennium to podcast trees. The first cruise vessel to the island since the halt in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The arrival of the cruise ship signals the reintroduction of cruise tourism to the island and more importantly, the reinstatement of revenue for well over 1,000 cruise-dependent income earners. Celebrity Millennium called into port around 7.30 a.m. with an estimated 400 passenger capacity and the government officials and other stakeholders were on hand to welcome them. Prime Minister of St. Lucia Hon. Alan Chastney explained the significance of the reintroduction of cruise tourism. We have been working with the cruise industry since March of 2020 and very actively to try to get their return which was originally scheduled for October-November of 2020. So to say that a lot of work has gone into this is an understatement. I want to thank the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Tourism and all of the stakeholders for their consistency, perseverance in sticking through this. So today is the culmination of a lot of work and effort to see Solidarity Millennium coming back into our shores and this again head of schedule. So this is a meaningful thing because of the persons that are impacted by the return of the ship. The street vendors, the taxi drivers, the tour operators, all who have depended almost exclusively on this sector have been impacted for the last 16 months. And while we have done some things to try to comfort them, it's certainly nothing can ever replace the income that they were generating from this industry. So this is a wonderful sight for them and we are excited to say the least. Continuous efforts were channelled into the safe return of the cruise tourism to Saint Lucia with regular meetings with the cruise lines, handling agencies and the locally established cruise committee. High-level meetings were also held with officials of the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association, FCCA and a focus on safe resumption of cruise calls to Saint Lucia. Meetings were also held with several cruise lines to finalize protocols that would guide the sector's operations while on island. The Prime Minister expressing gratitude to all stakeholders for their contributions highlighted the importance of the return, as many individuals depend on the cruise industry for their income. We've understood from early how the ship's not coming in with impact, but a lot of people in Saint Lucia. So that sense of urgency now is represented today and we're just very excited that one of the first destinations to recommend services is the end of the two and we'll look forward, hopefully, to convince the cruise industry to continue to come into our ports even in the next summer. So as you know, we're pretty much only getting winter tours so we've tried to take advantage of the prices and show that the Eastern Caribbean is a world class destination on a European basis. But again, today's ship coming back means so much more. It represents the hard work of the team. It's a mission of the Minister of the Ministry of Tourism and Authority, the Ministry of Health and all of the members of the United States of America who come to be here today and many of the other tours and fosterings. All of them would have put this effort in to make this thing happen today. Again, I want to thank the executives from Michael Bailey. I'm all down to the rest of his team for believing in St. Lucia and making this happen today. To mark the momentous occasion, a plaque was presented to the captain of Celebrity Millennium, affectionately known as Captain Fio. Captain Fio also presented a plaque to the government of St. Lucia, commemorating the inaugural Caribbean comeback call. Adding to the fanfare, there were also prizes to be won. The first prize went to a cruise passenger visiting St. Lucia for the first time. Minister for Tourism, Information and Broadcasting, Culture and Creative Industries, Hon. Dominic Vede expressed elation through the return of cruise tourism to St. Lucia. Oh, what a tremendous day for St. Lucia. All the workers that have been out of work since the pandemic began. This really is an absolutely fantastic day for them. The vendors of the arcade, the vendors at the craft market as well. I really want to thank the permanent secretary and Beverly, the CEO of the Tourism Authority for the work that they have put in. I want to personally thank the prime minister who really has been leading this from the front on the FCCA task force with the rest of the Caribbean. It's an absolutely amazing day for all of us. Activity manager Al is a born St. Lucia and has been working in the cruise industry for over a decade. He indicated that he is ecstatic that cruise tourism is making a comeback, having been out of work for some 15 months. Al said that his job is very rewarding and encourages young people to take advantage of the cruise industry. I can't complain. Troubling the world. The salary is always something to talk about. I'll not ignore that the salary is really good. I'm meeting amazing people, networking as an entertainer. I've networked with so many people to get opportunities to perform in Los Angeles and Georgia, in Miami, in Europe. So it's just a blessing working on cruise ships. Especially young people, if you're not sure what you want to do, even if it's not a career you want to take up, I would employ any young person to just go to MAM, but there's agencies down here that get you booked to go on cruise ships. Do it. It's a good way to make money if you want to go back to school. The money you make there you can afford to go back to school. So any young person I would tell them to go into it. However, if you also into hospitality, it's definitely a place where you can be an ambassador for Saint Lucia, because that's what I'm doing right now. I've encouraged a lot of the guests to actually go on tours and I always say Saint Lucia after the entire Caribbean and Saint Lucia stands out. Honestly, Saint Lucia stands out as one of the best. Cox and Company Limited's Chief Operations Officer, Catherine Cooper, expressed gratitude to all who contributed to the return of cruise tourism to Saint Lucia. Cooper indicated that although the road has been challenging, Cox and Company Limited has been persevering and is glad for the return. Our company, our staff, our tour guides, our drivers of the buses, we have not had any work since the middle of March of 2020, 2020. So today is an unprecedented day. I have been working in the cruise industry from 1984 and we have never, never gone through this sort of interruption in our business. However, Cox and Company was started in 1926 by my grandparents and we never stopped and we're not going to stop now, we are back. I would definitely like to thank the Ministry of Tourism and all that they did to work with us to bring the ships back to Saint Lucia and to help us to get ready. I would like to thank the Ministry of Health, Customs, Immigration, our tour guides and staff for everything that they did to make sure that today is going to be an excellent day and that Saint Lucia can deliver. The health and safety of Saint Lucia's remain of paramount importance as such safety measures have been put in place at the port. Karen Joseph is the Senior Environmental Health Officer of Port Health. This is our public health facility. This is part of our mandate of health security at our borders and as such our public health facility would screen everyone who's coming in. And of course today we're happy to have our first cruise ship and of course we're actually achieving this mandate of screening everyone as they pass through our facility. Continued calls with Royal Caribbean cruises to podcastries are tentatively scheduled for July 13th and August 10th, 2021 while other cruise lines will confirm their itineraries in the near future. From the Government Information Service, I'm Hermadi Mark reporting.


My name is Johannes Schad. I'm an emergency doctor, also coming from the German Red Cross National Society supporting here this operation in Iraq, particularly in Kurdistan. We are based in Erbil, 60 km away from Mosul, which is currently the focus here in the country. But this mission here is particularly challenging as we are not putting up our conventional field hospitals as we do in other contexts, but here we integrate in an existing health structure and existing hospital. And that is for all the team, for the international team, but also for our Kurdish colleagues. It's a huge change as we have different cultures and different procedures, different behaviors and to integrate that is quite a challenge on a daily basis. My name is Kati. I'm from Finland. I'm a surgical nurse working here as a ward nurse. We have two wards here and we have 24 beds only, what is a quite limited number. Starting from the morning we have a team. It includes a surgeon, anesthesiologist, auto nurse and a ward nurse. Living like this, exactly. My name is Takuya Sugimoto and I'm working for ICRC as a surgeon. My specialty is abdominal surgery, but here we have to do everything. My name is Lou Fraser. I'm an anesthesiologist from Calgary, Alberta. I think the same blood runs through us all and coming over here it's demonstrated in the faces of the Iraqis that appreciate why we're here and that's really why I came here to try and help individuals.
