Think Tech of Hawaii, civil engagement lives here. Aloha and thank you for joining us for another edition of Living Legend Lawyers on Think Tech. This program is a project sponsored by the Hawaii State Bar Association that seeks to recognize and chronicle Hawaii attorneys who have made significant contributions to our profession and the community. I'm Craig Wagdoll, an attorney with a law firm of Bays, Lung, Rose, and Homa and a former president of the Hawaii State Bar Association. And I have the pleasure of serving as host of today's program, which is entitled Building International Bridges. During the next 30 minutes, we're going to talk about developing international ties between Hawaii attorneys and legal practitioners in other countries. Our guest today has demonstrated that even attorneys who practice in areas wholly unrelated to international law can be the catalyst to develop relationships that span oceans and bring together lawyers from different countries. Before I introduce him, let me just say that if you want to ask a question or make a comment, you can tweet us at Think Tech, H.I., or call us at 374-2014. Our guest today is a well-known litigation attorney and 2005 president of the Hawaii State Bar Association, Richard Turbin. Rich, thanks for being here. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for inviting me, Craig. Well, Richard, tell us a little bit about how you got into, first of all, just a practice of law. How did this strike you? Well, when I was a young kid growing up, I grew up in New York City. I read about professions when I was a little kid, and I really liked the idea of being a lawyer. When I read about what lawyers do, defend people, advocate for people, help them out in courtrooms that really resonated with me. And then at the same time, I was just an avid reader of history. I just wanted to travel. I loved reading about politics, foreign policy, history. And I just really had a tremendous curiosity to get to know about other countries and meet people from other countries. I remember whenever a young kid came into my class who had just immigrated from another country, I wanted to make friends with that, you know, with that young person and get to know them and see what they're all about. So that's how it happened with me. And then I went on to Cornell University. I majored in history. And then on to Harvard Law School. And then right after I finished Harvard Law School, I took as many international law classes as I could. I joined the Peace Corps and became a lawyer. Had you done any international travel before you went on to the Peace Corps? I had gone to Europe one summer. I did the mandatory hitchhiking across Europe between college and law school. I made some extra money. And so that was the only international travel I had done. I didn't grow up with a lot of money in my family and had to work hard to pay for school in law school. Sure. But then out of law school, you headed into the Peace Corps. Yeah. I was a Samoa and I was a lawyer, kind of assistant district attorney for the new nation of Western Samoa. It had just become a brand new nation. And we did our Peace Corps training, learn the Samoan language and all of that on the island of Molokai. Was that right? Yeah. Pukau. Molokai, you know, kind of living in a campsite for three months, learning Samoan language and culture. And I just fell in love, fell in love with Hawaii. So to ask you, was that your first exposure then to Hawaii? That was my first exposure to Hawaii and I just, I just fell in love with it. So I promised myself when I finished my Peace Corps work in Samoa, I was going to come back to Hawaii and find a job and settle here. And lo and behold, that's what happened. I've never left. Well, when was that? So give me a time. 1970. That was, yeah. Yeah. So that's when you came back to Hawaii? Yeah. That's correct. Yeah. And you started into the practice of law here? Yeah. I started out as a public defender. I got a job. They just opened up a public defender's office for the state of Hawaii. I was one of the first deputy public defenders hired. And I worked as a public defender for three years doing trial after trial after trial. So that was like good practice for litigation. And then I became a legal aid lawyer. I mean, I was committed to serving, serving the poor, serving the people who couldn't afford lawyers. And then after doing that for two years, I opened up my own law practice in 1975. And then just did everything. And then about 1980, I started emphasizing personal injury work, doing plaintiff's personal injury for... And that's what you've continued to do all along? I've continued to do that for some, you know, 35 years. But at the same time, I never lost my yen. I never lost my desire, you know, to get involved in global affairs and international law. That was really a passion. So then in the 1980s, I signed up for the American Bar Association, the tort and insurance section. That's a personal injury section. That's right. And you were one of the leaders in that. Yeah. And then I was elected chair of that organization for 1999, 2000. And my goal was, I just thought that the American Bar Association was too... The word for it is too parochial, too insular. There wasn't enough interaction in law associations around the world. So my goal as chair was to bring the American Bar Association into the international sphere. So first, I organized an American Bar Association mission to Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia. Oh, is that right? Yeah, yeah. The Iron Curtain had just collapsed, you know. Now, this is through the torts section? Right. Right, right. Because they have an international section as well, right? Right, right, right. So I just decided, hey, let's start, even on the torts level, at such start expanding our reach and our horizons with other legal systems that may be quite different than ours. Right. And to help them, too, because I had the Peace Corps experience and like Russia had just kind of overthrown communism and entered the capitalist kind of semi-democratic world. So our goal was to help them with their laws, with their new laws, and specifically that mission was to help them with their environmental law. I see. Yeah. And then organized a much bigger, more elaborate mission to China in 1999-2000. And then I grabbed the Hawaii State Bar Association and that was a joint mission to China, Guangzhou, Beijing, Hainan Island, joint between the Hawaii State Bar Association and the American Bar Association. And that was a—and our goal there was to help train the Chinese to do jury trials. Is that right? Do they have jury trials in China? Yeah, beginning to, beginning to in the criminal area. So this was—we did mock jury trials, you know. Had you been to China before? I mean, were you familiar with their legal system and how things worked there? Or how did you get interested in setting that one up? Well, you know, it was called the Fourth—the Fourth Seminar and the Principles of Chinese American Law. And actually, the initiator was Li Waidu, the former city councilman who's got strong ties in China. And when he found out that I was chair of the Torton Insurance Practice Section, he thought, well, now maybe we can really—we'll have the money and we'll have the wherewithal, the help, the clerical help to put together this trip. So I got extremely excited when he talked to me about it. He says, let's go. And then we got the Hawaii State Bar Association committed also. We brought then Chief Justice Ron Moon and his wife as the titular heads of the delegation. And it was—and we were giving the red carpet treatment, because ironically and serendipitously, this was the first American trip that the Chinese invited to China after they broke off relations when the U.S. bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, Yugoslavia in the late 90s. And so they kind of cut off these types of trips with the United States for several years. And ironically, we were the first—we were the model trip, you know, the first one when relations began to improve. Were there challenges in setting that up or in— We didn't know what was going to happen until about two months before it happened. We had heard that they were going to invite us over as their initial trip after relations began to improve. And then we were, you know, the out-of-the-box group invited. So we really got the red carpet treatment. Oh, that's fantastic. So China, now you've been involved with the Bar Association's now, you know, Hawaii State Bar Association came after that, right? You weren't leading the Bar Association then. Right. And then in 2003, I got elected to be the Bar—the Hawaii State Bar President for 2005. That's right. And when I got elected, I said, you know, my goal, my major goal is to try to drag the Hawaii State Bar Association into the global world and help the Hawaii State Bar Association get out of its singular focus on Hawaii, you know, making business in Hawaii, and get the Bar Association involved in the rest of the world, particularly Asian Pacific, because I always thought that Hawaii, you know, should be the center, the locus of certainly Pacific law, but also Asian law, too. And at that time, we had an international law section, which was very inactive and extremely small.  And we did that in October of 2005, very successful. And of course, the, you know, the most important aspect of that was establishing a friendship agreement with the Daichi Tokyo Bar Association, between the Daichi Tokyo Bar Association, which was the first bar association in Japan and the Hawaii State Bar Association. And we signed the papers, as you know, in October 2005. Right there. And I was serving as chair of the international law section at the time, so I remember being in that with you, and it was somewhat of a momentous occasion. But let's explain a little bit about what was involved with that, because the Daichi Tokyo Bar Association, which sounds like a mouthful, is essentially one of three of the major Tokyo Bar, and then there are other bar associations as well. Right. Right. Well, I mean, the Daichi Tokyo Bar Association is the oldest bar association in Japan and the most prestigious, and I know several of the Supreme Court justices of Japan were former members of that bar association. So when we signed the friendship agreement, we didn't want it to be, you know, just a, you know, just a one-time deal. In our contract, it's an agreement, every two years we get together. So in 2005, they had come to Hawaii, so the deal was in 2007, we were going to go see them. In 2009, they come back to Hawaii, and we always do programs on, you know, on global aspects of our law, international law in Hawaii, international law in Japan. You know, it's educational, it's an educational adventure, but also a social adventure where we really get to know each other. And just this past weekend— I was going to say, wait a minute, we just had them, yes? Right. They were over here, and we had a wonderful program.  They left, I think, yesterday morning, and I know you were involved in organizing a wonderful educational program for them on Monday. We had a very nice reception with them at my home Sunday night, and a wonderful reception at Cafe Julia Monday night. Yeah. Very, very successful. And of course, we've become good friends with them now also. I got you.  We're going to take a short break. You're watching Building International Bridges on Hawaii's Think Tech. I'm Craig Wagdolls. I'm here with Richard Turbin. We'll be back very shortly with more information, some pictures, some really exciting stuff. Thanks for being here. Do you want to be cool? If so, watch my show on Tuesdays at one called Out of the Comfort Zone. I sing this song to you because I think you either are cool or have the potential to be seriously cool. And I want you to come watch my show where I bring in experts who talk all about easy strategies to be healthier, happier, build better relationships, and make your life a success. So come sit with the cool kids at Out of the Comfort Zone on Tuesdays at one. See you there. Aloha. I'm Kaley Ikeena, and I'm here every other week on Mondays at 2 o'clock p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii's Hawaii Together. In Hawaii Together, we talk with some of the most fascinating people in the islands about working together, working together for a better economy, government, and society. So I invite you into our conversation every other Monday at 2 p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii Broadcast Network. Join us for Hawaii Together. I'm Kaley Ikeena, Aloha. And welcome back. I'm Craig Wagdolls. I'm sitting here with our guest Richard Turbin, and this is Living Legend Lawyers, brought to you by the Hawaii State Bar Association and Think Tech Hawaii. We've been talking about building international bridges, building bridges between attorneys here in Hawaii and with attorneys from other countries. And I have the pleasure of talking with Richard Turbin, who is our 2005 HSBA president, but has also been serving in all different capacities, his role both as attorney and just as a community member in helping build relationships with the Bar Association's attorneys and just the people of a bunch of different countries. And when we left, we were talking about the Daiichi Tokyo Bar Association and the relationship, the friendship agreement it has with our Hawaii State Bar Association and the fact that they were just here meeting with us, but we have a photo and maybe we can pull that up. I'd like to take a look at that and maybe you can tell me about this because this wasn't just this last weekend. What is this? OK, Craig. Well, this is 2009. Remember in 2005, we signed a friendship agreement with the Daiichi Tokyo Bar Association. We had a wonderful program here, a reception in Hawaii. And then under the terms of the agreement in 2007, the Hawaii Bar Association was to go to Tokyo, which we did. And we had a wonderful time in Tokyo. We had educational programs, social programs, travel programs. You know, a good time was had by all and very, very constructive. We met with Supreme Court justices from Japan and other important people. Well, two years later, 2009, now it's four years after the agreement was signed, the Daiichi Tokyo Bar Association came back to Hawaii. Again, a wonderful educational program, social program. This is a photo of, of course, myself in the middle. My wife Ray and my wife Ray, just to my left, Jeff Sia, just to her left. And Jeff was the president of the Hawaii State Bar Association at the time. Ray actually then became president of the Bar Association. And next to me on the right is a very prominent Japanese lawyer, Kenji Hashidate. And he was the head of the international section of the Daiichi Tokyo Bar Association. And he was the one that signed the friendship agreement with me. And then to his right is the president of the Daiichi Tokyo Bar Association, another prominent member to his right. And this is in your house, correct? That's right. It's in my house. As I recall, every time they have come, you have hosted a gathering and a reception there at your, at your home. And it's wonderful. Right. It's a lot of fun. And we also have a tennis tournament also, whether it's a golf tournament, tennis tournament, and it's, it's really a wonderful, wonderful occasion. Well, in addition to that, you've hosted or been involved with, you know, Bar Association and gatherings of attorneys and others from numerous different countries. And maybe we could look at, at the photo number two here for a minute. And you can tell me a little bit about this one, because obviously not Japan, but another opportunity where you were helping to build a, build a bridge and meet with some attorneys and people from another country. Right. Now this is a photo of myself with Ambassador Sarna. He is the ambassador from India to the United States. And this picture was taken at the East West center. I was very fortunate to be appointed by the governor of Hawaii to the East West center board, the board of governors. And since 2016, I've had the good fortune to be the chair of the East West center board of governors. And I, you know, I love that work. Of course, it's not paid, but, you know, I'm in charge of the governing board of the East West center and I'm fortunate enough to go to a lot of meetings and receptions. And this was an educational program given by the, by Ambassador Sarna, Ambassador to the United States. And that's in Burns Hall of the East West center in Honolulu, Hawaii. And the East West center, of course, you know, has done programs with the Hawaii State Bar Association and the East West center. It probably is most of you know, is a very important educational and diplomatic institute founded by Congress, U.S. Congress in 1960 and located next to the University of Hawaii in Manoa. And it has six buildings, which were the architect was the renowned architect, I.M. Pye, very, very beautiful. Rich, and I should point out, as you mentioned, you know, unpaid type position, but most of the positions that you've held from the HSBA president to serving with the torch section of the ABA, to many of these other activities and positions that you've held to try and build these relationships have all been essentially pro bono. They've been unpaid positions and they've been done as a labor of love. Exactly, exactly.  So my advice to any young lawyer is take on the unpaid pro bono positions and you'll find out it'll be the most satisfying work in your life. I'm so fortunate I had the opportunity to serve in these positions. Well, I still remember sitting around in a bar restaurant area with you and your wife and of all things, your son had come into town down there in downtown Tokyo and ordering up food and drink and enjoying time with ourselves and with a bunch of attorneys from Japan. And I echo that. I mean, some of the best times I've had have been just all of us getting together. Roppongi Hills. It was a restaurant club in Roppongi Hills in Tokyo. Absolutely beautiful, you know, just stunning surroundings and being with Japanese lawyers, life doesn't get much better than that. We had one other photo. And I want you to tell me a little bit about the two gentlemen that are in this photo with you, I believe also taken at the East West Center. Who do we have here? And what was this involved? Yeah, this is this was a very exciting event in Los Angeles put on by the Pacific Rim Society, which is a society of people interested in international relations around the Pacific Rim. It's based in based in Los Angeles. And its founder is a prominent Korean American businessman, Spencer Lee. And at this event, there were several hundred people there. Very, very interesting people. The honorees was former Secretary of the United Nations, Ban Ki-moon and his to my right. And the other honoree was the East West Center. And as chair of the East West Center Board of Governors, you know, I was there to accept the ward along with the president of the East West Center at the time, Charles Morrison. And Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary General of the United Nations, who's retired now, has always been a hero of mine, really an exemplar of an international leader, a wonderful international leader whose whose heart just goes all out for, you know, for sponsoring peace and prosperity throughout the world. We don't know how many wars he prevented. And just to have the opportunity to talk to him and and learn from him was such an honor.  I mean, really a modest, humble individual. Rich, you mentioned at one point, you know, recommendations. And that's what I want to ask you about in the minute that sort of we have left for you to give the message. If you were talking to our younger attorneys, the attorneys are coming to the practice now and wondering, well, how can I get involved? How can I do things like what you're doing? What are your recommendations to that?  And I sought out my passion and I did things that spoke to that. If your passion, and I'm talking to young lawyers, is to help out the poor, to to to help out with the homeless problem and the, you know, climate change problem and get involved in climate change organizations or poverty organizations such as Legal Aid that help out the homeless. You know, whatever floats your boat, whatever answers your passion, work in those areas and it'll be the most satisfying work of your lifetime. Well, I'm excited to see where you're not just your career, because you built your career, but where this whole experiment and experience goes for you going forward. And I am going to be tagging along with you. Good. Thank you very much, Craig. So happy for your support. And that, unfortunately, brings us to the end of our show that we've enjoyed having you with us as we discussed building international bridges with our special guest, Hawaii attorney, Richard Turbin. If a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step, Rich is a guy who started walking decisively towards his vision of closer relationships between the attorneys of the world and has never stopped. He's been a leader and an example of how lawyers, no matter what their area of practice, can develop relationships that bring together attorneys from different states and different countries.

Tom here from Large Systems and TrueNAS scale beginning in 2310 and higher has removed the R-SYNC-D service They brought it back as an application We're gonna show you today how to set that application up and I'm gonna use Synology as an example of why you might need this Application to have it talking to another NAS as a server. So let's get started Are you an individual or forward-thinking company looking for expert assistance with network engineering storage or virtualization projects? Perhaps you're an internal IT team seeking help to practically manage monitor or secure your systems We offer comprehensive consulting services tailored to meet your specific project needs Whether you require fully managed or co-managed IT services Our experienced team is ready to step in and help We specialize in supporting businesses that need IT administration or IT team seeking an extra layer of support to enhance their Operations to learn more about any of our services head over to our website and fill out the higher S form at loren systems calm Let us start crafting the perfect IT solution for you If you want to show some extra love for our channel check out our swag store and affiliate links down below that will lead you to Discounts and deals for products and services we've discussed on this channel with the ad read out of the way Let's get you back to the content that you really came here for now for this demo We're using to chunas scale 23 dot 10 dot oh one latest version here in November of 2023 And we want to start by creating a data set by which we want to put all of our our sync data So I'm gonna click on this top pull here flashy and I want to add a data set We're gonna call that data set YouTube our sync demo I'll put the same thing in the comments Scrolling down leaving all the other options the same and the share type is gonna be set to apps because we're gonna Be tying an app to this now if you want a further more in depth video on permissions and chunas scale You'll find that linked in the description down below now that we have our data set created We're gonna go over here to apps. I already have an instance of our sync running on this We're gonna add another one because yes You can have more than one running as long as you're not using the same port this one's currently on port 30026 which is a default so over here to discover apps search for our sync Click to install another instance this instance cast to have a new ID, so we'll put YouTube after it They're gonna scroll down here and we'll change the our sync port and we'll just change this to 30027 because we don't want it to be at the same port as the existing one or that will cause a problem And then we want to add our module. We're gonna give the module a name I'm gonna give it the same name as a data set, but you can call it another name This just makes it easier when you're looking at them So you know where they go, but if we couldn't call this anything else It'll still work because we actually choose the data set further down. We'll put this in the comments here But choose the data set itself by going here here and choose the Mount flashy Which is the pool name YouTube our sync demo, which is the data set we created then we choose the access mode Do we want this read only or read write or write only leave can max connection to zero This is the maximum number of servers you can connect unless you want to restrict it to maybe three servers But zero means as many servers as can connect to it leave the UID and GID the same at five six eight And this is where you can set the limited amounts of security options You have host allow means host only that you want to allow to connect to this our sync Please note. There's no username and password So anything running our sync on the network that can see this module will have access to read and write the data Depending on the parameters you set above so only add the host you want to allow or omit them And any hosts on the network can connect for this demo We're just going to omit it and leave this all blank But you can also specifically deny host instead So maybe you want all the hosts except for certain ones and add that to the denialist then from there We're going to click the install All right now we see the system deploying And now the module is ready to use now We're going to go over here to my Synology NAS because this is the NAS I have but lots of different NAS systems do support our sync and it's an easy way to get data over to your true NAS So we're going to go here. I just want to do a folders and packages back up scroll down and choose our sync Next we'll just say single version We're going to choose the our sync compatible server put in any IP address of our true NAS There's no encryption in this put in the port number Which was a 30027 it doesn't matter what you put for the username But if we don't put a username the Synology won't let me go further for example If we just try to choose a module it doesn't but we put in something random here It then sees the module recreated which was called YouTube our sync demo and there's no password here So we're going to go ahead and do next We'll choose Docker Just because I want to back that up But really anything is bailed on the list here to back up in Synology. I don't care about the application data itself We're just going to back up the data in there and we'll call this We'll call this YouTube demo hit next And done and the first thing it wants to do is initially run the backup doing a backup now We're going to go ahead and say yes And it's going to kick off the backup task and there we go. We have a successful backup I'm going to log into my true NAS real quick from the command line here because I wanted to see if the files are there So we're going to go to the mount flashy YouTube our sync demo LS we can see there's the folder Synology created and from there we'll look into the Docker and there's the Docker data that I told it to back up now something I don't make note of is if you go over here to data protection You'll see that there is our sync tasks still available inside of true NAS And if we want to add an our sync task, you can set the path and we can go flashy we'll say like YouTube demo our sync and The only options here though are ss8 and remote module That's because this task is not running a server But this is to allow true NAS to connect to something else that is talking our sync and you could use this to connect to another true NAS, but honestly doing things inside a true NAS via Replication if you're going from true NAS to true NAS as a much much faster and much much more efficient way to move data between true NASes, but it is nice that if you have some other server running our sync and you wanted to either push or pull that data You can do that inside of here and it will work It will even talk to another true NAS via module if you had some use case for that Now this is soon to be deprecated in true NAS core as well in an upcoming version I will probably do a video on that but I have less core people that are usually asking me for our sync connectivity It's kind of a one-off thing when you have other servers and my example here was Synology But our sync is supported in a lot of other things like even QNAP and Many of the one-off odd brands of NAS if you're trying to move data from one place to another or synchronize it on a regular basis Our sync is still a pretty good way to do it But please note there's not really any security on the way this works It's only filtering by the IP address of what you're allowing to connect to it But for doing transfers or doing upgrades when you have to move a bunch of data Hey, it does work well for that leave your thoughts and comments down below like and subscribe to see more content on this channel Head over to Lawrence systems comm to connect with me on whatever socials that you will find me on there when you go there All right, and thanks


for your sensitive leadership. We will be forever grateful. We would also like to acknowledge Rachel, Amy, Judy, and Carol for their unique contributions. Also, we would like to thank Burlington Parks and Rec, the state of Vermont, and many others who have so generously helped us towards our goals. Far too many to mention. Thank you so very much. Finally, we'd like to offer our remembrance to a long-standing member of our group, Mr. Walter Colty. One of his most important goals was to have his sister's name inscribed on a plaque which was placed on a maple sapling in her memory. The sapling bearing her name was one of many that will be placed, that will be planted in the memorial healing space on the grounds of the former orphanage. May he rest in peace. Again, our deepest thanks to everyone, and we will carry you on with us always. Thank you. Thank you, Debbie. I'd like to offer some thoughts of my own. I want to begin by thanking the Vermont Center for Crime Victims Services Director Jennifer Pullman, Grant Manager Jean Nelson, and Training Director Amber King for all of their support and work in organizing this event. The Center has been a true champion of the restorative inquiry from the very beginning, and it would not have taken place without your support, fundamentally. I also want to say how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to facilitate the inquiry and to partner with my co-collaborators in this effort, Rachel Jolly and Amy Farr, and also to have had the great good fortune to get to know and deeply admire the members of the Voices of St. Justice Orphanage Group. I realize we're here to acknowledge, and at least for me, celebrate the release of the final report. Suffice it to say it took a tad longer to complete than expected. With its publication, however, I hope that this report will serve as a resource and perhaps inspiration for other communities that are ready to face the legacies of institutional trauma. As we all know too well, the need for such reckonings continue to surface and demand our attention both here in Vermont and beyond. I also want to offer a few reflections on what I've learned from and through this process. First, it's really important to acknowledge the press and your role. This inquiry would not have been conceived, let alone implemented, without good investigative journalism. Sam Hemingway started reporting on St. Justice Orphanage in the 1990s, giving an early platform to the former children of the institution. For many reasons, however, as a state we were not ready to reckon with and own our shame. That would take another 30 years and the BuzzFeed article of Christine Keneally. Christine's article, along with some key institutional support, ignited the inquiry process. In restorative justice, true reckoning begins with listening. Only then can we meet our obligations and take the meaningful steps to make amends. That was the fundamental structure of this two-and-a-half year process. Listen, listen, listen to the voices of St. Joseph Orphanage. And the group's remarkable and growing list of achievements is a testament to the power of their voices and their stories. With a few notable exceptions, many private and public institutions, including the Vermont Legislature, stepped up to the moment. They met multiple times with the group, listened to their stories and requests, and responded with care, dedication, and responsive commitment, including the passage of S99. This is restorative justice. The inquiry was also a very creative process, guided by the priorities and decision-making of the participants themselves. The important work and evolving work of the Writers Group and Carol Adonalfi, the powerful voices of St. Joseph Orphanage traveling exhibition, which was developed in partnership with the Vermont Folklife Center, and the work to fund and install the Memorial and Healing Garden on the former Orphanage Grounds, which is a collaboration between the group and Burlington Parks and Recreation. This also is restorative justice. As I previously mentioned, there were a few notable exceptions to this responsive engagement. The Vermont Catholic Diocese and Vermont Catholic Charities steadfastly refused to participate in this process, which to my mind was a profound missed opportunity. But enough of that. It's important to recognize that we live in a state that has a long-term commitment to support both victim services and restorative justice. And we are very fortunate to have the Center for Crime Victim Services, which sees these two approaches as both aligned and mutually supportive. This is unique. And then I want to finish by saying that the inquiry wasn't always an easy process. And if Walter Coltty were here with us today, I'm sure he would have something to say about that. But even the hardest moments we found our way through, guided by our commitments to each other, a lot of care and empathy, and healthy doses of laughter. I have nothing but gratitude for the participants of this process and what we learned together. Thank you. I'd like to invite up Representative Serita Austin, who is a member of the advisory group of The Voices. Thank you. I want to express my deep gratitude to the members of The Voices of St. Joseph's members, Mark Wenberg, Rachel Dolly, Amy Farr, and the other members of the advisory council that invited me to join the St. Joseph Restorative Inquiry Group. It has been an honor and privilege to participate in this journey, to be a witness to this process, is not only humbling, but also inspirational beyond what I could have ever imagined. This is what The Voices of St. Joseph's members asked of the legislature. We ask that the Vermont State Legislature listen to us and acknowledge the harm that we have experienced. We also call on lawmakers to work with us to enact laws that better protect vulnerable people of all ages who face abuse of all kinds. Since this request was made, the Vermont legislature has passed legislation to honor the request of The Voices members. S99 lifted the statute of limitations on physical abuse.  H644 passed unanimously on the floor of the house yesterday. Will provide access to past records of individuals placed by a child placing. Thank you, Representative Austin. I want to invite Jennifer Pullman from the Vermont Center for Crime Victim Services. Good afternoon. I certainly want to thank the individuals behind me and also the many victims and survivors who are not here today for including us in this process and for inviting us to take part in this brilliant important event today. It is a brilliant, truly an honor to be here and it has always humbled me to listen to the stories, to be even privy to what brave, courageous individuals were willing to share because they would not be silenced. The Vermont Center for Crime Victim Services strives to support victim centered and trauma informed services for victims and survivors regardless of prosecution. We hold it as a value that is crucial for justice to be victim defined and not necessarily tied to the criminal justice process where victims are treated frankly more like witnesses even if a case is pursued. As you know, for the victims and survivors of St. Joseph's orphanage that was not the case. There was no criminal justice process, no accountability, their voices were not heard and their experiences were ignored for years and even decades. As we learned about the outreach that was coming from these survivors who were not content to be silent but wanted to create change, wanted to be heard, that they wanted to be a part of defining what they needed now again even decades later and their hope that their stories might actually finally be told and perhaps even create change. As we heard about this momentum and understood that there was going to be support from a really important stakeholders who could help elevate those voices, the Center was absolutely committed immediately to doing whatever we could to support again the elevation of voices that had been silenced for too long. And as you've heard this initiative has shown a light on the importance of truly listening to victims and the possibilities that can exist if they are at the Center. It's also shown a light on the importance and need for an entirely separate process that again is victim defined. You just heard many of the accomplishments that have been achieved thanks to the voices that were brave enough to come forward to create legislative change and policy change in addition to raising awareness and education. This project has been more successful than we could have ever imagined and obviously that has so much to do with the bravery of the voices and with the many folks who took this project on and held it in their hearts. Our hope is that this process will serve as a model and examples other entities both in Vermont and across the country that it is never too late to listen and that there is always value no matter how many years have gone by to telling someone who has been harmed I believe you I'm here for you and what do you need. I particularly want to thank the many courageous voices again who participate in this process who were not afraid to come forward were not afraid to put their stories out there who did raise that awareness and they created hope for other survivors who also have been silenced for years and decades. Their message don't ever give up and do not accept being kept silent and through this they've changed lives and they're changing systems and I'm really extremely grateful to have been a witness to their work that has taken place. Thank you. Thank you Jennifer. Next from Rachel Jolly director of the Burlington Community Justice Center. Thank you so much. I will keep my remarks brief because of all that's been said already that really does capture so much of how I feel about this project but I feel enormously blessed and honored to have been a part the city of Burlington's Community Economic Development Office of which I'm a part with the Community Justice Center didn't hesitate to want to host this project this initiative because of what it represented past present and future about owning that shame as Mark said and about listening learning and hopefully preventing future harm. I think part of the vision of the restorative inquiry was to seek repair, resolution, healing, learning and hope in any and all of its forms and while being led and guided by those who are most harmed and harmed and impacted. For me the beauty came from its organic evolution the iterative process that was created by each of the players that really no one could have known while gathering in a room over three years ago to talk about the need for restorative inquiry but that only became alive and realized through the gathering of the voices the former residents as well as the community partners through the courage bravery and sometimes ongoing sacrifices of the project's members so much positive change and transformation has already emerged and continues to emerge in our laws our land our parks and our cultural memories. Though we experience tremendous disappointment by the lack of accountability and the lack of engagement of primary stakeholders that have been mentioned I was continually amazed by the power of survivor's stories to move ordinary citizens and civil servants like myself to look for ways to affect change today and into the future. So much gratitude to the countless partners that have been mentioned the voices of St. Joseph's orphanage members first and foremost to Amy to Mark to the Center for Crime Victim Services to the many partners and collaborators that continue actually to come up as we are seeking funds for that memorial as in the former orphanage grounds. I have been transformed by this experience myself and this project created new memories new stories that I think continue to change people as they are witness to them through education but also through being part of the change and prevention of future harm. So I'm so very honored and humbled to be a part of it and will forever remember it. Thank you. Thank you Rachel and now Amy Farr victim advocate and victim advocate for this process. Thank you Mark and Rachel and Jen and everyone who has already spoken. I've said many times that I was so I feel so lucky to be in the right place at the right time to be a part of this and I guess what I would say is I just want everyone to read this like please please read it. I am confident that you will learn something and I am hopeful that you will want to learn more. When Christine Kanely's article spotlighted decades of injustice and harm suffered by children who lived at the St. Joseph's orphanage when this article came out at the time I was at the Attorney General's office we knew we were committed to an opening an investigation and we also knew that a traditional criminal justice response would not be adequate and there were no existing guidelines to help us know how to proceed and with the bravery of the center and Mark and Rachel and a lot of community members we kind of just moved forward and and of course that goes without speaking to also recognize the bravery of the voices who were also the people who needed to drive this and I feel like they did drive it. We had so many people who stepped forward with their time their expertise with financial resources and we forged ahead with the guidance of the voices of St. Joseph's. So I think this report not only documents kind of our process I also hope that maybe it will live on and serve as a roadmap for anyone who might need it in the future and so I would just like to conclude by giving my my endless gratitude to the voices of St. Joseph's to all the people and their families who worked with us to allow us to join them in this effort and in this mission to ensure that people are always going to be around to protect the needs of children. Thank you and we wanted to finish this conference with some personal statements. Debbie Jevrey I know you have a personal statement and I don't know if Caitlin does as well. Okay so Debbie and then Caitlin and we'll wrap it up. This is my personal statement but I hope that I speak for some of the other survivors as well maybe my brother. Sadness and fear had rained all the days of my life and I knew not why. In my conscious mind I was well aware of where I spent 10 years of my young life but in the name of preservation I unknowingly blocked the horror out. Many days were spent in a state of panic with no reason why. When asked if I would like to take part in the restorative inquiry I discovered where the fear originated. Joining the process was both a blessing and a curse but in hindsight I am extremely glad I did. Through the tough times in the good all the participants including Mark, Rachel, Amy and Carol our Reuters facilitator stood by me and it wasn't long until they became family to me. These were people who either shared the same experiences or showed great compassion for what the former children had gone through. I began to cry less and smile more. So many kind souls stepped forward to help. To help us in our healing journey into all I would like to take for the first time in my life I feel I have done a good and acknowledged it's a feeling I can only explain as freedom from the bondage of fear and freedom from a pain so deep it can only be imagined. Thank you again for all the help and for the foresight and establishing the restorative justice process. And Caitlin Hoffman another member of the group. Well yesterday during the writers group we finished the what we want to say to everybody the group statement and the song started going through my head that I couldn't get rid of and I still have to write my what I wanted to say for this afternoon but I couldn't do it this song is just right there so I ended up writing the parody of it and then I shared it with another voice member about she and another long-term friend wanting me to say it just as it was they said that it does represent my feelings about the restorative justice program that went through so this is it it's a parody from to serve with love those perfect days of predator peace and with the nuns are gone but the memories live on and on how can I thank someone who's listened to me much more than they should have done who tolerated my every random age from politics to death who understood my unique words while I barely took a breath you never judged me just gave hugs leave me and in me sometimes given a gentle nudge you helped me more than you should have done when what I really wanted was to run run run you cared enough to let me know while slowly subtly and sometimes painfully I grow I grow I may not show it but right from the start you all go special places deep in my heart to mark Rachel Amy the service justice team in Carol and team who came later with love so that concludes the conference for today thank you all for coming and and the link for the report is available the report itself is available on our on the st. Joseph's Orphanage restorative inquiry website just do a search on that st. Joseph's Orphanage restorative inquiry it'll take you to the website and then there's a tab for the report itself thank you


Hey there Falcons fans, I am DJ Shockley. I want to thank you guys for joining me for Falcons Film Review, powered by Microsoft Surface. Now let's jump into these plays from the game from the Washington football team. Let's jump into that play where they scored the end of the game and just kind of talk through what happened on that particular play here. Now sometimes individual effort just outwins. And the Falcons did everything they wanted here. I'm going to drop the route combination before you show you what happened. They're going to have a little shallow cross here. They're going to have this guy come up and run a dig on the inside, on the outside. You're going to get another dig. So everything is breaking to this side of the field. You're going to have an outside release go on this particular play here. And the back here who ends up catching the football, he starts here and just kind of blocks here. He just settles in there. He's trying to help with the games up front. And he's just trying to help with the offensive line. Now as the play gets started, you can see exactly what I'm talking about here, the route combinations. And then now here's the back. The back is right here in the middle of that scrum. He's helping block Grady Jared in there. He's helping block some of these guys in here. And now once the play continues, you can see, you got everything covered. You got this guy covered. You got a hat on this guy. You got good eyes on him and the quarterback. You got him locked down on the outside. And here's the back. He finally slips out now in this back part right here. And you have a guy for the back here. He's sitting there waiting on him. He's the check down guy. But as the quarterback starts to move just a little bit this way, and he moved this way because all his routes are coming this way. So he's just trying to find an avenue to throw. But as he starts to creep this way, now remember now, this was a big third down play. We come out of here to try to keep him from running. And now the back starts to slip out. And now here's the guy.  That's Michael Walker here. He finds him on the back side. And the last possible line of defense is Deon, which is 15 yards away. That's a really, really good back there. And he finds the place. So sometimes you can have the perfect courage on. You can be in the perfect spot and great individual effort wins over great coverage. All right, let's jump on to the Falcon side of the ball where we just talked about great individual effort for Washington. How about great individual effort for the Falcons here by Cordell Patterson. And it's the touchdown that he had here. Big third down play again. And first we're looking for indicators. What happens at the snap of the football? You bring Cal pits in motion and this guy goes with him. So automatically that tells the quarterback, I have man coverage. When he comes across, now where are my best man-beater routes? Here's the route combination. Out, you got a goal route on the outside. You got a corner route here by Ritley on the outside. You got an outside release goal here. But then here's Cordell Patterson. Usually the route that you want to have for his man coverage is shallow cross. And then you're going to have another shallow cross here, but he's coming from the backfield. But what Washington tries to do is they're playing man coverage across the board, man, man. And it looks like too high back here. It looks like too high. But on the snap of the football, he is the guy who has to cover Cordell Patterson out of the backfield, but he tries to hang so far back here and disguise it. And he's going to leak down here, but he's going to leak down too late.  And this is the mesh you want here. You're going to get the shallow cross here, but here's Cordell here. And look how far this guy has to come from depth to try to cover the back out of the backfield. But Cordell goes right now. He's decisive. And now he has to cover from depth to try to cover him.  And now you see where he catches the football with almost five yards of space. Nothing's really here. Nothing's really there. They got everything pretty much covered, similar to what we did on their last play. But now here comes the individual effort. Break a tackle, get in the end zone. And now you love the individual effort on the backside. Another great play call from the Falcons. Understanding you had man and you found the best man-beater against Washington. And then a great individual effort by Cordell Patterson to win. And that's what you like, especially in the red zone, Falcons being efficient. All right, I want to thank you guys for joining me by MDJ Shockley. This has been Falcons Film Review Powered by Microsoft Circus.


And where are we recording today's episode of the Anthony show? Ooh! Freedom Zen Garden. We got a winner. Whoa. I'm gonna have to get a little further away. There we go. Freedom! You've been asking questions, and I've got answers. I have notes. First question comes from a Freedom partner dealing with our launch of Wath or We Are the Hits. By the way, if you haven't done that yet, you should probably check that out in the dashboard. The question is, what is a synchronization license and why do I need one? As covered in a previous video, which you should probably check out on screen right now. A synchronization license gives you the rights to synchronize audio and visual elements on screen for an audience. This can be used in such things as videos, films, video games, television, etc. That's primarily what We Are the Hits or Wath does in your Freedom dashboard. It gives you the ability to obtain a synchronization license for here on YouTube. And for those of you who are curious, if you obtain your music through any of the freedom offerings such as epidemic sound, audio, microbe, or position music, for example, a synchronization license comes as standard. Next question, what's the difference between purchasing and licensing a song? When you purchase a song from iTunes or Amazon, CDs, etc., truth is you are buying a license. However, you're getting a physical copy of it. Sometimes. However, you only have it for personal listening. You can listen to it on whatever devices you'd like, but again, only for personal use. However, if you'd like to use that song in an audio-visual production, it's going to take a different kind of licensing. On to question number three. So let's say that you've licensed a song. Can you use that song in more than one production? Normally no. However, if you were provided that music through any of the freedom resources, then yes, because you are granted that license perpetually. If you're licensing music from a certain source, you should probably check the rules and regulations on where you're licensing that from and the license itself. Next question. Can I use multiple songs in one project? If you've gotten your music from a freedom-provided source such as position music, epidemic sound or audio micro, then yes, note that sometimes this does kind of confuse things. So it's really best to not do it unless you just have a killer idea or some way to really leverage things and get the most out of everything. Also if you're not getting this stuff from a freedom-provided source, then you may want to check with their licensing and see what they allow. Next question. When I uploaded my video to YouTube, I received a third party matched content notice. Does that mean? Well, overly dramatic me. The best canned response I can give you is that YouTube uses a system called Content ID to fingerprint music and allow the owners of the music to track and monetize or monetize the views of their music on YouTube. When YouTube recognizes a song that is being used in a video, it alerts the uploader that the video contains music owned by a third party. Third party means not by YouTube, not by the uploader, but a third person. Wouldn't it be kind of cool if there were actually parties? That does not mean that you're receiving a copyright infringement notice or that a strike may be placed on your channel. It also won't cause your YouTube video to be taken down. It does, however, restrict you from monetizing the video yourself on YouTube. Next question. Do I have to license my music individually for YouTube videos? Well, that kind of depends on where you get your music from. If you get your music from somewhere that freedom is made available to you, then probably not. This is because there are blanket deals with companies like audio, micro, position, music, and epidemic sound. Some exceptions may apply, such as with position music, where freedom partners have access to things within the freedom category in position music. However, things outside of that may need to be licensed externally. If you're getting your music from outside of a freedom-provided source, you're going to want to check with their licensing. What are the advantages of stock music? Stock music is specifically written and recorded for use with audiovisual productions in mind, so it covers a wide array or variety of uses, and it's really versatile in that way. And it's also licensed in a way that allows many people to use it, and for everyone to be able to have something that they can use. Last but not least, what is the public domain? Oh, okay. First off, I need to say this is not just a music thing. This is like a copyright thing in general. And I, for the rest of the video, kind of assumed that you knew that I wasn't a copyright attorney, but here I need to specifically state that I'm not, and that this is based off of my personal experience and research and that you should do your own. Also, I'm going to be trying to read from a script. So if this sounds kind of robotic, that's why. From the time a piece of music is created, it's protected by copyright. Once a piece of music has existed beyond the copyright protection period, that piece of music is considered to be in the public domain. The international laws governing copyright by Byrne Convention and the Universal Copyright Convention, under the Byrne Convention, copyright extends for the life of the composer, plus a minimum of 50 years following his or her death. Most of the world's industrial countries have signed the Byrne Convention and comply with it, although all countries have their own copyright laws, which may extend the copyright period for an additional number of years. In fact, many countries have extended this copyright term to a period of 75 years following the death of the composer. If you are intending to use a piece of music that is public domain, make sure that you check copyright laws in the countries where the production will be used to make sure that your use conforms with the laws in those countries. Wow! That is a lot of information. I hope that this video has been helpful for you. If it has, let us know in the comment section down below. Till next time, don't forget to like, subscribe, and do all those things that make me love my job. Also, be awesome to yourself, and amazing to each other. I am not taking up a lot of the frame here. I probably should have fixed that before I started recording. Gosh, darn it! So, during the end card here, I just wanted to point out this is their development staff all huddled over something, trying to solve some really complex problems with big numbers. Or big data. Or, I don't know, they're smarter than I am. Bye.


Good evening, friends. This is your host to welcome you through the creaking door into the inner sanctuary. Now remember, friends, there's one rule that you must follow when listening to this program. You're not allowed to talk or whisper, but if you scream, that's fine. I've just come back from the most deadly vacation I ever had. I had horseback riding with a headless horseman, swimming with a sea serpent, and golfing with a ghost. In the evening, I visited old friends who just moved in the new grave. But here I am, home again, pale, unhealthy, and blood thirsty. Tonight's inner sanctuary, honeymoon with death, was written by Milton Lewis and stars Arlene Blackburn and the role of Joan with Mason Adams as Tony. All right, friends, turn the lights down low and keep in mind the fact that all events that happen on this program shouldn't happen to a dog. Of course, if you feel like twitching, you're right ahead. We always say a twitch in time saves night. Ready? Then listen, this lovely young Joan Derby tells us her story in her own words. It was at the end of one of the happiest days of my life. Perhaps the last day of happiness I'll ever know. When this car drove up and parked outside our cottage. At first I thought it was Tony, but then I noticed the man who got out was dressed like a turret. And the woman with him was rather overdressed in a sporty way. In a moment, they were knocking at my door. And when I went to answer it. Mrs. Derby. Thank you, pardon. There must be some mistake. I'm not Mrs. Derby. Ellen, is she the young woman? Yes, that's Mrs. Derby. There's no doubt about it. I'm sorry, I don't think we've ever met. We haven't, Mrs. Derby. You deny your identity again. I really do know who you are, despite the name you're using here. You're the former Joan Kent, the present Mrs. Anthony Derby, am I right? Yes, I am. May we come in, we must see you. It's about a matter of the utmost seriousness. One might say it's a matter of life and death. I'm speaking of your life or death, Mrs. Derby. Oh, really? Please don't argue, let us in. You'd better come back later when my husband's here in an hour or so. My dear, we knew your husband was away. That's why we purposely came at this time.  This gentleman is the Reverend Lawrence Norwell. A retired clergyman and a friend of mine. I'm Mrs. Ellen Remarten. Why did you come here? We came here to save you from being murdered. Murdered? I know that's a shocking thing to say, especially to a young woman on her honeymoon. How'd you know that? I selected this little cottage so isolated, so far from the main road, so remote. Well, yes, he did. What of it? We'll come to that in a moment, my dear. Did your husband insist in his subtle way that you take along your jewelry and certain other valuables on this honeymoon trip? I'm afraid I can't answer that. You don't trust me? No, I don't. Ellen, perhaps you had better tell her your story. Mrs. Derby, has your husband ever told you that he was married before? No. Well, he was, to me. You? Yes. He can be very charming when he wants to be your Tony. I wasn't the first woman whose head he turned, but I found out about him in time. What did you find out? That he was planning to murder me. Mrs. Remarten and Reverend Norwell, could you please leave my house at once? You love him very much, don't you? Yes, I do love him. And I don't care to listen to any more vicious slander. If Tony is what you say he is, why didn't you go to the police? I have gone to the police. But he's much too clever for them. I couldn't do a thing against him without evidence. And the evidence they need is a dead body. Get out.  Ellen, the girl is becoming hysterical. I think we've done our duty. I think we'd better leave. Will you go to the car, please? Yes, of course. Mrs. Davos. Why must you prolong this? I remain behind because I'm going to do something I know Reverend Norwell will never approve of. I'm going to give you these two things. On this seat of paper is my telephone number. I've rented a small house near here. In case you need help, please send for me. The second thing is this. A gun. I'm leaving it with you. It's fully loaded. You may thank me for it some day soon. Please don't leave it here. I know how to feel, my dear. I loved him too. He's a very charming. Always so thoughtful. Always bringing little gifts. Has he given you antique jewels yet? Or has he brought you roses and decided the famous poem by the way? Why don't you leave? Why haven't you the decency to leave me alone? Of course, my dear. I'm so sorry. Goodbye. Joan, where are you? Joan? What is it, Tony? What's the idea, darling? Why have you locked yourself in your room? Just a moment, Tony. Sweetheart, you look lovely. What have you been doing, taking a nap? Yes, I was. Well, you don't have to lock the door. I was all alone here. Poor darling, you're frightened. I'll try not to leave you alone again. No, it's only Tony.  Oh, nothing. Nothing. I saw the sneak. I had a bad dream. Tony. Yeah? Why did you select this cottage to spend our honeymoon? I thought that you'd like it. It's ideal for a honeymoon that's known around just the two of us. Then there was another reason I hadn't told you about it. Another reason? Well, it's a rather silly, romantic reason. Really? Tell me. They call this place the Enchanted Cottage. Enchanted? How? Well, it's very old. And a legend says that once upon a time, long ago, a bride-to-be slept here. A girl of 16, almost a child. And on the following morning, she was to marry a man who was forced to her. What happened to her, Tony? Well, during the night, she fell under the power of the spell that's been cast over this cottage.  Over night, she was changed into a hideous old demon, insane and vengeful, who murdered her lover and cast herself into the sea. And so now they say that only true lovers dare stay here. But we have nothing to worry about, do we, dear? No, Tony. Joe, how are you crying? I thought that story would amuse you. I found it very amusing. An Enchanted Cottage. You're right, it is romantic, but Tony, will you tell me this? Why'd you suggest I bring my jewelry to a place like this? I didn't plan to stay here more than a week or so. I thought we'd travel, perhaps go to Canada, perhaps even take a boat there for Europe.  Why'd you use an assuming mean for us? I told you I didn't want people to know that we're here. I didn't want any old friends or relatives dropping in on it. Darling, why all these questions? I love you, you surely must know that. No, you must forgive me. Oh, I've been a foolish, silly girl who's had a bad dream, but now I'm awake. And I love you too. Oh, Tony, I love you. Joe, come with me, darling. I brought some gifts for you in town. Gift? Yes, I know you have a feeling for old things, so when I saw this in an antique shop in town. Oh, what a lovely old locket. Oh, it's perfect. I'm glad you like it. After all, what do I know about antique jewelry? What's the matter? Nothing. Nothing gets a cure that gets so cold in here at night. What's the other gift you brought me? Rosie? How did you know? Where are they? Here. Okay, they're beautiful. My love is like a red, red rose that you will sprung in June. My love is like a melody that sweetly plays. Stop it! Don't give it to me, don't! Don't, don't be afraid. Tony, tell me what happened to me. You fainted, darling. I put you on the couch. I'm afraid you're not very well. Would you like me to get a doctor? No. No, I'm not that ill.  Is it? I've been that way all my life. My brother's given me a prescription. I didn't think I'd need it. Shall I go to town and get it filled? Yes, it's in my purse on the table. Oh, yes, I've got it. Come, darling, I'd like you to go with me. I don't like to leave you alone in here. Oh, don't worry, I'll be all right this time. Is there a druggist still open? Yes, but I'd better hurry. He closes at nine, I think. But then you'd better hurry. Don't worry about me. All right, goodbye, darling. Well, hop right in. I want you to get a number for me quickly, please. I'll wave my head in here on the piece of paper where they put it. Yes, it's here. Mrs. Martin answered and told me how to go to her home. It was only a short distance. So I loved Tony and I had to find out how much was his surgical suspicion, how much was truth. So they approached the house like a deer didn't like. I heard someone scream. There was a window open. I could see Mrs. Martin in the far end of the room. On her face an indescribable expression of terror. Somewhere in the shadows a figure moves slowly, darling. I didn't mean any harm, Tony. I just came here because I loved you. What are you doing with that car? The lamp crashed to the floor as it eased it. I turned on that window and began to run. I wanted to reach the telephone but there were no houses, no cars at hand. I was alone on the road with just a flashlight. I'd seen a murder committed before my eyes and I knew then what would happen to me unless I reached the police. And then I found out. And then I saw a car coming down the road. I waved my life spantically to signal him. I'd seen the miracle when the car pulled to the side of the road. What's wrong there? What are you doing here? In the car, darling. Get him?  Where's my Emil, Tony? Come here. Where are we going? To our enchanted cottage. We said nothing. Not a word to each other until we arrive at the cottage. I knew my life depended completely on my ability to maintain control of myself. I mean Joan. I think I'll go to my room, Tony. No. I want to know why you didn't stay here. I can't explain it. I thought I just couldn't remain in this place any longer. I know. I can't anyway. I've grown to hate it. I'm not very well. Just what is wrong with you, Joan? I thought I told you. You didn't tell me that anything like this would happen. Has it happened before? This sudden hysterical running away? This blackout when someone asks you why you did it? Yes, it happened before. While I was at college. What did the doctor say then? Did you? Yes. Darling, I'm very tired. I really don't want to go on with this. I'm afraid we'll have to. You see, I love you very much. Loving me? Yes. I'm your husband. I have a right to know everything about you. What did the psychiatrist tell you? Tony. I insist upon knowing. He said that there was nothing very much wrong. Except that I developed an abnormal sensitivity. He said that I'd be quite well when I... when I got married, had children. Really? Yes, Tony. He said that I'd have difficulty in finding the right man that... that I was much too clever for most men that... that my tastes were a little too special to be easily satisfied. I see. Well, I waited. Finally, the right man did come along. Young, attractive, sensitive. A man who told me he'd go with me. I fell madly in love with him, Tony. So madly in love that it was the only thing that made any difference in my life. Then... then I married him. Do you still love him, John? Yes, I still love him. Even now. Even now? What do you mean by that? Oh, nothing. You'd better tell me. Tell me. What did you find out? I said everything you said was lies.   You made a mistake, John. Are you going to deny it? No. But I didn't know that you knew about me. Now... Now I'll have to come back here. You're not getting out of here. Then I opened my eyes. Funny bit looking down at me. Can't do enough. That moment I forgot who he was. Why are you staring at me? All I knew was that he looked... so handsome. You'd better sit up now. What happened? I knocked you out. Why didn't you kill me when I was unconscious? Because there was something I had to tell you. You...  Yes. With that cord you have in your hand? When? In a moment.  Oh, please, Tony. Please don't make it any worse.  But I did care. We could have been happy. It's true I met you. I pursued you because I wanted your money. But then I fell in love... for the first time in my life. How did you find out about me, John? Why did you care about that now? You're right. Why should I care? I know now that even though I may still love you, I can never trust you. And so, John... Tony. It will all be over very quickly if you don't struggle. No. Please, darling. I don't want to make it any more difficult than it's necessary. Please, Tony. You said you'd still love me. I'll do anything you want, anything. Tony, please! That was me. I was cornered around my neck and I felt it tightening. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think. And I felt my fingers up the door, the table behind me. The gun... The gun Mrs. Romani gave me. Of course, I'd never remembered about that before. I managed to open it. I shot the handle with my fingers. Tony was staring at my eyes, it was so hypnotized. His arms, his fingers kept twisting the corners. And he did a very strange thing. He leaned towards it. He put his lips on my... John. John! I just wanted to tell you what... I loosened the cord and looked down. Tony was dead. When I noticed that something had fallen out of his pocket, it was a little bottle of medicine. The medicine I had sent him to. Lawrence? Yes, my dear. What happened? It was very simple.  I didn't think she'd have the courage, really. A little slip of a girl like her. Did you watch from the window? Yes. Immediately after she killed him, she picked up a little bottle that had fallen out of his pocket and then she rushed out of the house.  When the house was empty, I simply went in, found her jewels, and here I am. Let me see the jewels. Here you are, my dear. It turned out much better than I thought it would. So it seems. Without being too vain, I did think I made an admirable clergyman. Yes. You were quite handsome. Thank you. And while we're trading compliments, let me congratulate you on your death. Your demise was superb, Ellen. Thank you. No, what's wrong? Well, it must know it's Tony. No, darling, I know you were fond of the boy. I loved him. He was charming. He's dead now, and he deserves it. He would have led the three of us to the chair eventually. He was really mad about this girl, and he couldn't be trusted at all. I suppose you're right. He had to go. He had enough on the two of us to make us quite uncomfortable. I think we'd better leave now. All right. I'll go close the back door. Put that gun down.  Ellen, what happened? Don't move. Stay just where you are. Mrs. Darby. Yes. Mrs. Darby. You... You killed her. Yes, I killed her. Did... Did you hear what... Yes, I heard everything. Do you mind telling me why you came here?  Oh, now really? I never thought I'd have the courage to murder another human being. Thankfully, I shared that opinion of you myself. The same thing can happen in a cottage that has a magic spell cast over it. What are you talking about? I'm talking about a 16-year-old girl who changed overnight into a hideous old demon who murdered her lover and cast herself into the sea. Oh, you're mad. You both deliberately murdered Tony because he loved me. Well, after all, a man in love can't be trusted. He's not quite safe. Then neither is a woman who's in love.  What did you say before? He is so dim. That's what you are. I made quite certain that he was dead. Then I went to the telephone and called the police. Then I killed my husband, of course. It was in self-defense. And then when I saw the bottle of medicine, I realized that he couldn't have murdered Mrs. Remarten. He was in town at the time. I realized I'd been tricked. The murder of Mrs. Remarten was deliberate. So was that of her friend, the gentleman who posed as the red one no well. Him telling this story to the police record. I'm making no sense of my actions. But it may be true that perhaps I was insane when I committed the last two murders. Or perhaps I was caught in the spell of our enchanted cottage. Well, I guess that ought to teach John to be more careful about arranging her accommodations for her next honeymoon. Obviously, the model for our story is taken from one of the screams of a famous Irish man she named Jill O'Chene, who said, don't be frightened by nightmares. After all, they're not nearly as frightening as the things that can really happen to you. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.


There's so many podiums. I didn't know which one to go to. This is great. So it's a real honor and a pleasure to be here today. What a fantastic filled room here. It's so exciting to see all these people thinking about this excessive wealth disorder and how we can raise taxes. I want to spend just my seven minutes talking about what we do at Equitable Growth and how we think every day about the ways in which inequality in all of its forms affect our economy and our society. So hopefully this will tee off nicely about what Paul said, where he talked a lot about the ways that inequality affects our politics and our policymaking. And I want to take it to the next level, which is how is it that inequality, and in particular, excessive wealth inequality, is affecting our economy? One of the things that we've been told for my entire lifetime is that if we just gave the rich people the money, if we gave them their taxes back, they would do things in the economy that would benefit us all. That has been the cornerstone of the narrative about how the economy works that we've been told. They are the job creators. They are the investors. And we're a little bit held captive to them. But if we give them what they want, then they would create an economy where growth was strong, stable, and broadly shared. What we've been doing for the past over five years at Equitable Growth is engaging scholars all across the United States and across the world in understanding whether and how inequality affects economic growth and stability. And what we have learned is that due to new empirical techniques, new data, a new crop of scholars asking new questions, the answer is too often that inequality actually has a negative downward pull on our economy in a variety of different ways. And so if you want to learn more on our website at Equitable Growth, we elevate all the research that we are finding. But let me just give you the highlights of how it is that the research is showing that this story we've been told is in fact wrong. And so whatever you might think on moral grounds or values grounds or fairness grounds about why we need to do something about inequality, underpinning that is also a strong economic argument and one that I think we need to do more to get out there and make compelling to the American people. So the way that we've been thinking about it is we've been compiling all of this research evidence and looking what all these scholars are producing is that we break it down into three buckets, which is that inequality obstructs, subverts, and distorts the processes that lead to strong, stable, broadly shared growth. So let me just give you an example from the research on each of those. Hopefully I can do that in four minutes, but we'll try. So when we think about inequalities obstructions, that's sort of the common sense understanding, right? We know the ways that a child who's born in poverty doesn't have the same life chances as someone who's born at the high end of the income spectrum, but increasingly there is research evidence that shows and because of new techniques and data that economists have, showing with causality that this inequality, this economic inequality is creating real obstructions. So Raj Chetty, who was a founding member of our steering committee, has this research project with a bunch of other scholars where he talks about the lost Einstein's. What he and his colleagues did is they matched data on who gets a patent as an adult, what that person's income is as an adult, with data on third grade math test scores and the third grade person's child's family income. And they're able to show that, low and behold, kids that do really good on third grade math tests actually are more likely to become inventors, okay? Well, totally common sense. They also find that among kids that score really good on that third grade test, the ones who have rich parents, four times as likely to grow up and be an inventor. That means that there's a lot of smart kids who could be adding to our economy, who could be inventing the things that fix climate change, that could be doing all sorts of things, don't have that opportunity. That is a direct drag on our productivity today and far off into the future. And it stymies the kind of capitalism that so many people come to this country to be a part of, right? That we are not the country that we tell ourselves that we are. We also see that inequalities subverts the institutions that create our, make our economy possible. And we think about this in two really big buckets. One is how it subverts our politics. And Nancy's gonna talk about that, I'm sure. Paul talked about that a little bit, so I don't wanna delve on that. But let me focus for a few moments on the other way it subverts, which is that it is subverting the very way that our market works, right? We all know this. We know that what we've been seeing over the past few decades is a rise in economic concentration. What economists would call monopoly or oligopoly. Increasingly, empirical research is showing that this kind of rising economic concentration is having negative effects on our economy through reducing investment, even though profits are high and even though one would think that there's a lot of space for more investment, firms aren't doing it, because rising economic concentration changes their incentives. And it changes those incentives for firms the same way it changes the incentives for the wealthy, which is that the focus becomes on what economists, we have such great terms for things, called rent seeking, which is not about the money you pay your landlord, but is about taking more of the economic gains than is reasonable, than is fair, than not fairness in the equity sense, but fairness in the economic sense, but taking more of the gains of growth and holding on to them, rather than taking the gains of growth and investing those in goods and services and investments that are gonna create economic growth for the future. So we see the ways that this rising concentration is dragging down our economy. And we've known this for a century. A century ago, we put in place laws to prohibit the rise in economic concentration. And decades ago, we stopped enforcing those. And economists were a big part of the reason why, as we started arguing, not me, but the economics profession started arguing that actually leaving everything to the market is the way to go. And we don't really need to worry about rising concentration in that way, so long as it didn't hurt consumers. But the newest batch of research, the latest scholarship, is showing the ways in which concentration is driving down growth, and we need to change the way that we enforce this. So I will end with the distortions, right? Inequality is distorting our investments. It's distorting our consumption. It's distorting consumption so much that firms are making different choices now about where to invest in new products, that it's changing inflation in the following way. When you have all the firms chasing after the millionaires and billionaires, or let's just say the folks in the top 20% and making sure that we have a lot of different kinds of expensive phones to buy, or whatever it else is that we want at the very top, you actually don't have firms who are chasing dollars at the bottom, because that's not where the money is. Well, now it has been documented that that is meaning that inflation is actually higher now for goods and services that goods aimed at the bottom end of the income distribution than at the top. That is macroeconomic implications. It changes how we think about macro policy, and it's a massive distortion of our economy brought on by this excessive wealth disorder. So I hope I've just given you a sliver of some of the evidence that shows the ways that this conversation we're having today, it's about values, it's about fairness, but it's also about the very thing that creates economic growth and stability. Thank you.


Mihawk is the kind of man who will find any excuse just to visit his bestie Shanks, and the latest of said excuses was to present him with the subscribe button for the Grandline Review, the pressing of which would give Shanks regular One Piece content uploaded straight into his YouTube feed. And luckily enough, Shanks still has one arm available to do just that. Hello and welcome to the Grandline Review, your source for everything One Piece, and today we are going to be taking a sliver of time to give some focus to one of the more legendary characters in the series, the world's greatest swordsman, Dracula Mihawk. And it's primarily because the more I think about this man, the stranger his existence in the series actually becomes. Mihawk is one of those characters who appeared extraordinarily early on in the grand scheme of things, way back in Chapter 49 actually, which you know when we're almost at the 1000 mark is pretty damn ancient. But back in the days of Baratier, Mihawk was an unrivaled presence. He stood entirely in his own league in every respect, be it strength, aesthetics, or narrative role. In many ways it was like taking a character from another more established series and throwing him into early One Piece, just to decimate the main cast. However, even to this day with all of the progress that we have made as readers and watchers of the series, that impression of Mihawk still has not entirely disappeared, not at all. And he still very much seems like an entity who exists separate to everything else that is One Piece. And we're here to explore that idea today as we dive into the purpose, connections, and even future of the world's greatest swordsman. And I really do need to begin with that very first word, purpose, which can be divided into two separate streams of thought. One of which is the narrative purpose of the character, a feature that I often dwell on in many of my discussions. But the other in this case is what I think is a much more important idea, being the canonical purpose of Mihawk, i.e. what this man believes in, fights for, and effectively dedicates his life to doing. Now in the cases of most characters in One Piece, this secondary factor is almost always viewed without most clarity. The obvious example being that Luffy's driving purpose in this world is to become the pirate king, while Zoro's is to become the world's greatest swordsman, and so on and so forth. That idea is not exclusive to our main protagonist though, because the great antagonists of One Piece also come with this purpose attached. For example, Sakazuki's purpose is to serve absolute justice, Dolph Lamingo's is to live life as if the world is his plaything, you know, his divine right. And in fact, many other antagonists even share Luffy's drive to become the pirate king. And you know what, even side characters have this feature attached like Hachan. His purpose is to live peacefully and make delicious takoyaki, which is always weird because you know, he's an octopus cooking other octopi, but whatever, we'll get over it, he sure did. But then we turn our attention to Mihawk, and he is one of the extremely rare characters in this world whose driving force cannot be clearly identified. I don't necessarily have any idea why Mihawk does the things he does, like I have no idea why he accepted a position as Warlord of the Sea, I have no idea exactly where he stands on a moralistic scale. However, we can certainly speculate, and oh, we will. But before that, I should also highlight Mihawk's position in One Piece, because while there are characters out there who are comparable in terms of power and mysterious purpose, what makes Mihawk completely unique in the series of absurdly unique individuals is the fact that he operates exclusively alone. Mihawk is a pirate without a pirate crew, he floats around this world on his dingy of doom, and seems to cut down whatever he comes across should he feel like it. In many ways, Mihawk could better be described as a human calamity, yet another unstoppable risk of embarking into the ground line, you know, comparable to that of extreme weather, sea kings and whatever other natural danger, you could find that will instantly wipe out most bold embarkees. This is really strange though, because nobody else at the top of this world presents himself as such a solitary existence, and obviously we can immediately point to the four emperors, each of whom are sky-splittingly powerful in their own right, but they also rely heavily on crews and no matter how strongly they are individually, they would not stand in these positions without them. That links back into purpose and driving force though. Each emperor of the sea has a crew in order to assist them with achieving certain goals. For example, Big Mom is one of the many beings in this world striving for the Pirate King title, but she also has a broad goal of bringing every race together in her twisted paradise, as well as a ton of short term goals like eating delicious number things. But even for the ones whose goals aren't quite as clear like Shang's for example, we do know that he at the very least had that driving force to go out of his way and form the Red Hair Pirates. And I suppose in this world he seems to act for the sake of stability and diplomacy. And so the fact that Mihawk to our knowledge has never formed a crew of his own actually speaks volumes in regards to his sheer lack of desire in this world. He doesn't really seem to want anything and so he does not form any effort to go out and get anything. Mihawk seems like a man whose problem in this world is boredom. He pits me of first world problems, but here we are, and that can actually be seen in his introduction during Baratie, because he quite literally stated that he only destroyed Don Krieg's entire armada for the sake of fun. And even then he didn't look like he was having a whole lot of fun whilst doing it, just a fleeting thrill and then back to boredom. Mihawk acts like an MMO character who has overlevelled himself so much that the game just isn't fun anymore. There's no challenge and that is an important word, because if I was to speculate on Mihawk's driving force and we're doing this video now so I shall, then I would simply identify it as seeking a challenge. And almost every interaction we have featuring Mihawk does point towards this, such as the stories about his prior duels with Shanks. They were events that Mihawk would have been driven to compete in, and the fact that he stopped engaging Shanks once he lost his arm in his blue also speaks to the idea of challenge, as a swordsman Shanks simply may not have been challenging enough for Mihawk to take on at that point. And another moment that I found very intriguing was during the Paramount War. For most of the affair Mihawk was his usual apathetic existence, however there was one instance where he really mentally kicked into gear, sending a flying slash towards Whitebeard, who was then known as the strongest man in the world. And he did so because quote, I just want to measure the distance between that man and us. And notice how Mihawk says us and not I. He recognizes the Whitebeard is on an entirely different level to him, but at the same time he also includes everyone else present on Marinefit in his assessment. As if Whitebeard is the crown jewel, and Mihawk and everyone else are just the riffraff. On this battlefield, Whitebeard would appear to be the only individual that Mihawk saw as a challenge, one that he had actually resigned himself to not being able to overcome actually, but he still wanted to know exactly how far behind he was. But of course the most paramount piece of evidence for Mihawk's challenge-seeking ways comes in the form of our green-haired swordsman. After recognizing the talent, potential, and honor Zoro had as a swordsman, Mihawk vowed to wait at the top for him, no matter how long it may take for Zoro to get there. And that is a pretty grand statement, one that shows Mihawk's sheer confidence that he will still be the top dog by the time Zoro is ready, but also one that intrinsically links Zoro's dream to what we could maybe possibly identify as a driving force for Mihawk. It is entirely possible at this point that Mihawk exists simply to be defeated, that he is so utterly bored with this world that he is awaiting that moment of new power springing up to overcome him. However it may also be to do more specifically with swordsmanship, because let's talk about the whole world's greatest swordsman thing for a bit. It's a really strange dream when we think about it, because there are almost no other characters in this world who actually strive for this position despite it being an alleged global standard. We have Zoro, we have Kuina, and you know I think that's it. No other swordsman has really shown an interest in pursuing the sword for the sake of the sword, and they generally wield it for another purpose in life. Swordplay is a tool for achieving something else, not a path in and of itself. It's completely different from the goal of say becoming the pirate king, which Mihawk himself has said would be even tougher than surpassing him. However that particular dream is held by an extraordinary amount of characters, which leaves Mihawk with very few playmates in his area of niche interest, and those that do arise are often delusional rookies with no concept of what it is to actually be a swordsman. And perhaps that's why Mihawk is so disinterested in actually pursuing any sort of sword-related challenge. He doesn't go out of his way to seek strong opponents, because nobody who has any interest in taking him on is worth his time, so what do you do in that case? Well you obviously take up gardening, horticulture is a fine hobby after all, but at this point I'd like to highlight an image that we have of Mihawk as a child, one of the few pieces of background knowledge we have regarding him, and just how different is this image from the Mihawk we know now. This kid here almost evokes a Zoro style of appeal. I don't know about you but I look at this image and it has an aura of pure drive around it. You know he's injured and his clothes are tattered, but he has the only thing he clearly values in the world, which is his sword and the desire to pursue that craft to its absolute heights. Little did this driven young lad know, however, that achieving that desire would bring him a feeling of such emptiness in this world. And look this is another massively first world problem, but that really is the issue with actually achieving your grandest dreams. If you do live your life for that one profound purpose and against all odds succeed, then you will be left with very very little to do, and that is Dracule Mihawk, man quite literally suffering from success. That isn't the only thing that makes him unique in this world though, because Mihawk also holds a very solitary personality. In fact, within this entire planet I can really only think of three people that he has commonly associated himself with, being Shanks, Perona, and Zoro. And in the case of the latter two, that's because they crashed his island paradise code to see a Bartholomew kuma, although he did go on to form a very interesting connection with the two of them. And I'll dwell on Zoro here a bit more, because what Zoro presented in this moment was an evolution of his dream. As much as Zoro wanted to surpass Mihawk and become the world's greatest swordsman, he had a stronger desire, which was to live and become stronger for the sake of Luffy, which is certainly the reason why Mihawk agreed to train him. Here, Mihawk saw that Zoro was living for something beyond the more simplistic desire to become the greatest. A goal that Mihawk himself knows is a particularly hollow existence once achieved, because what is the point in living for the challenge when the challenge no longer exists? Of course, there could also be a secondary motive behind this, should Mihawk still have the embers of challenge within him, which is this really bizarre sense of training someone for the purpose of defeating you.  And whether or not that's actually what was going on in his mind, that is more than likely going to be the inevitable outcome. And so we come back to one of the original questions. Why does Mihawk exist in this story? And narratively, it would be to be defeated or to provide a driving force in regards to Zoro. Although perhaps Mihawk's connection to Shanks will also very much play a part in it, if said emperor is ever brought into key focus. Although in terms of the actual character, his purpose is very similar. It would seem that Mihawk's ultimate desire in this world is to either be defeated or at the very least to have that thrill of a challenge once more. Something that he clearly has not experienced since gaining the title of the world's greatest swordsman. But even then, it is nice to take a step back and really recognize what an extremely unique existence Mihawk is in one piece. He is one of the very, very few characters who has achieved seemingly everything he ever wanted to in this vast and brutal world. For all intents and purposes, he has conquered everything this planet has to throw at him, which earns him an exceptional amount of respect for me, because even characters like the four emperors have not reached the same destination that Mihawk has. Each and every one of them still struggled daily to implement and attain their desires. Meanwhile, Mihawk is just chilling on his gothic island with a glass of wine and his ghost waifu. And yeah, maybe outside of the world of swordplay he is not the strongest character and he's not the pirate king or anything, but none of that really matters.  And he now stands at its ultimate peak, looking down, watching the squabbles of every other force on this planet with, at best, mild interest. That is Draykill Mihawk, an unparalleled existence in all of one piece. But what do you guys think? Please do leave your thoughts in the comments below or even join my Discord server.
