Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Thomas. Thank you to the mad team for being mad in an in-sale world madness is sanity It's a joy to be back in Copenhagen, you know my early days of physics were willing to Copenhagen through the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory of complementarity of uncertainty of potential And what you're doing here is giving the Copenhagen interpretation of food Food as free food as diverse food as nourishing food as taste and You've chosen the theme of guts for me Guts is a number of meanings the first is to have a gut sense about things and And if I'm not doing physics today, if I'm not doing quantum theory It's because in the 80s. I started to get a gut sense that something was very wrong with our agriculture systems 1984 was the year We had the worst disaster in human history in the city of Bhopal where a pesticide plant leaked and killed 3000 people 30,000 since then and I was there for the anniversary last year and the room was just full of Children still being born crippled because that's what poisons do We've created an agriculture system to create bad Untasty unhealthy industrial food commodities through all chemicals and We consider it smart It was the same year we had violence and extremism in Punjab the land of the green revolution There's a lot of mythology around the green revolution that it was green. It was revolutionary nothing like it a defense research Scientist called Norman Bordelog was given the job on how to adapt plants to war chemicals And that's what he did created the dwarf varieties But to pump those chemicals into agriculture you had to destroy all the diversity So India is talked about is getting out of the ship-to-mouth existence Today every second child in India is so malnourished. They are wasted and stunted every fourth Indian is hungry 70% of our pulses are dars and our oil seeds are being imported Because in agriculture that grew Mixtures was destroyed to grow mono-culture commodities of rice and wheat 17 million tons of which rot every day 50% of the food in the world is rotting is Being wasted so I realized I had to look at what was happening in agriculture and Did a book called the violence of the green revolution? Then realized you can't Just Analyze it you've got to do something about it If you've got to be honest Then you've got to act on it. So I started to promote sustainable agriculture with the best of my understanding and while I was at it I Get invited in 1987 to a conference where the big Chemical Giants which gave us the war chemicals were now taking over the seed Through patenting through genetic engineering through global treaties called the GAT and now the WTO They wrote laws and decided they were going to call themselves the inventors of life the creators of life Monsanto wrote the intellectual property rights agreement of WTO That's the day my gut Sense was got to save seats. I didn't know why I didn't know where it would end but I knew That I loved life and its diversity and the freedom of life so much that there was no way I was going to accept a world where five Corporations controlled all the seeds of the world and all the food of the world through patenting and genetic modification That's what they said by year 2000. They'd be controlling everything Today, what do we have we have four crops? Actually, it's become three because the canola is so Polluted that they can't sell the GM canola anymore except for biofuel So it's really corn Soya cotton humanity has eaten 8,500 plant species Many of them uncultivated Today we are trading in eight and the expansion is in corn and soya Did the world say give me more soya give me more corn is This feeding the world no only 10% of the corn and soya goes into the human food system directly 90% is going to run cars by a fuse and I don't call it animal feed because animals didn't want grain their herbivores. They wanted grass. They wanted to be free they Are being tortured with intensive feed So it's such an inefficient system 10% of the food Destroying 75% of the planet 75% of the species destruction because of industrial monocultures 75% of the water being wasted on the planet because of industrial agriculture 75% of the souls being desertified and degraded Because of industrial chemical farming and as my book soil not oil Shows 40% of the greenhouse gases that are causing climate instability Come from an industrial globalized system of agriculture So if you do a very rough calculation if 75% destruction is giving us around 25% overall food 10% from corn and soya If we were to destroy the entire planet We'd still only reach about 33% of the food supply which couldn't Be guaranteed because if there's no soil there's no water. There's no biodiversity is there is no food So it is a guaranteed recipe for extinction And yet it's being pushed as an efficient scientific system. There's no science in it It doesn't take science to throw more chemicals into agricultural systems It doesn't take science to shoot with a gene gun a Gene that doesn't belong to a plant These are blind violent technologies and Blindness is being treated as knowledge and science so in the diversity of Our crops I remember as a child going out to my mother's farm and collecting batwa or amaranth greens Delicious dishes and Yet with the chemical farming these are treated as weeds sprayed with herbicides and destroyed So then you have iron deficiency and you have vitamin a deficiency and of course the miracle mongers out to give Miracle solutions to that Like they gave in the green revolution calling the green revolution as based on miracle seeds There was nothing miraculous about it you put all the land under well crop you're gonna have lots of that crop You put all the water to a few commodities. You're gonna have more of those commodities It's land and water that explain the fact that there are mountains of these agricultural commodities while one billion people staff So two miracles they're bringing out and just yesterday In the Sunday, New York Times. There was a big thing on the golden rice and big attack on me 2000 is when they started selling a golden rice selling an idea of a golden rice not a product To remove vitamin a deficiency. I Called it then a blind approach to blindness prevention Because the amaranths and the curry leaves and the coriander leaves that we use daily in our food give us a thousand four hundred micrograms of beta-carotene vitamin a equivalent Even today after 13 years of research, they're going to be able to only put in 70% of the daily requirement first They said you have to put it in rice because people can't afford vegetables now They say we'll give you 70% I say okay the 30% will still come from vegetables. So I don't have The vitamin a from sources of rich vitamin a rather than white rice Which uses 2,500 millimetres of water? They haven't given up the Philippines peasants have just uprooted the vitamin a golden rice trials of the International Rice Research Institute and I do hope we'll see a closure to that chapter But as if it isn't one enough, you know India's a land of tremendous bananas We are the biggest producers of bananas. We are the biggest eaters of bananas But we are not the biggest sellers at the global level Because the bananas are gentle. They don't trade well You need to eat them fresh. We are more than 500 varieties of bananas the little ones the red ones the raw ones the ones that make good chips the ones that make Good food those that make good Desert bananas now they want to put iron into the banana Banana is such a generous fruit It has everything. It's called the kalpatru the The wishfulfilling plant and when Alexander Came to India remember he tried to invade India and he was dazed that there were these sages eating the banana Fruit so he called it the fruit of the vise and the scientific name of banana is Musa sapientum The wise the fruit of the wise and In India if you go into local cuisine never in the Indian mogulai restaurant, but in the local cuisine particularly in eastern India or in Kerala They use the flour of the banana for cooking they use the stem of the banana for cooking of course the banana leaf is the ultimate renewable plate and the fruit is Used for fasting. It's used for health. It's using you know for diarrhea. It's the most beautiful cure But it has only 0.44 milligrams of iron Even if they make it four times more ten times more They will not reach the alternatives that we anyway have look at again the amaranth leaves greens that they spray to death with the herbicides 38.5 turmeric 67.5 Neem Beautiful tree that I had fight for because it had been patented Neem has 25.3 the world has such abundance and and your movement that is resurrected collecting and gathering as A way human beings should meet their me their food needs It can only be possible in a world of diversity How is it that we've landed in a situation where three thousand percent less efficient options? 7000% less efficient options are offered as a miracle. I Believe it's for two reasons first There has been a cultivation of what I have called the monoculture of the mind if You only think of rice then you want to put the vitamin A into rice But when you think of diversity then you know the greens and the you know Why do we call it? Carrotene because it carrots are a major source of vitamin a You think of all the wonderful vegetables But there is Another very very big reason corporations that came out of a war system a militarized system don't just have a mindset of a militarized mind but they have the operational strategies of a militarized mind and I think one of the biggest threats we face Both to the biodiversity of the planet as well as to our food systems is Every tool is used To prevent the more sustainable more healthy more Delicious alternatives from growing as prospering So one of the things I've been doing since I started saving seeds is saving every kind of variety of food and Now fiber plants That I can We've created a hundred and ten community seed banks where from where farmers can take the crops they need Because otherwise they have to pay royalties and royalties are killing farmers The only reason genetically modified crops are being pushed is in order to collect royalties So let me give you the story of cotton Cotton, which was the fiber of freedom where Gandhi pulled out a spinning wheel and said we are going to spin our way to freedom You're not gonna shoot our way to freedom. We'll spin our way to freedom and When he was laughed at and people said how can a few pieces of wood? Bring you freedom. He says the only thing that can because the poorest person in the poorest hut Can be active in the freedom movement The spinning wheel is so small and can be fabricated and everyone Can spin freedom. So when I started to save seeds, it was the spinning wheel that was my inspiration that If every one of us is saving diversity if every one of us is Protecting seeds then these monopolies that are being thought of can't happen Well, I focused on food and I kind of didn't think of The fiber issue so much and before you knew it Monsanto had taken control of the cotton seed supply in India the land from where cotton started 95% of the cotton grown in India is now a genetically modified BT cotton the costs of the seed jumped 8,000% Instead of being renewable the seed is non-renewable instead of being adapted. It is ill adapted so has to be bought many times over It doesn't really work to control pests the BT You know, there are only two applications a BT crop and a herbicide resistant crop Now the BT crop has a toxic gene put into the plant So every cell is producing the toxin all the time This is supposed to control a pest called a bollworm the bollworm is resistant and new pests have been created Farmers are spraying 13 times more pesticide Today then they did before the GMO cotton, which was supposed to be the end of spray in United States the spread of herbicide resistant crops Has led to 70 million acres being overtaken By super weeds that can't be controlled and now they're having to spray round up They're having to spray agent orange in place of round up agent orange, which was sprayed in Vietnam And we saw the results there, but new research is showing that the glyphosate, which is the main ingredient of round up is Destroying the soil micro organisms, but also the beneficial bacteria in our gut and pathogens are prospering And lots of new research Is showing the intestinal damage because of GM crops There was a very very famous scientist called Arpat Putzai in UK, those of you who from UK will remember 98 he was asked by the UK government to do studies And his studies showed the rats in his trials the brains had shrunk the pancreas had expanded in the intestinal system Was very very damaged and the immunity had collapsed And they went to his research institute went to the media BBC Broadcast this and before you knew it a call came from, you know via White House St. Louis is the headquarters of Monsanto, but they always operate via the White House And he was fired the top lectinic expert of the world today. He has a stroke. He's gone back to Hungary He said I left the communist Soviet Union because I wanted freedom and I wanted to practice my science and freedom I'm going back to Hungary because there's more freedom there than under corporate controlled Agriculture in the West His life has been destroyed very famous scientists called Sereline He did the only two-year study on GM feeding And his research has shown huge And his research has shown huge occurrence of tumors in rats and also intestinal damage In the u.s. There's a whole new syndrome called the leaky gut syndrome that the intestinal walls are being so damaged Because these are toxins whether it's the Roundup radio the BT toxin these are toxins in India 1,800 animals died after eating in the BT cotton fields and the animal husbandry department When they did the autopsies they found that the intestines were absolutely damaged and there was no digestion Of the biomass we did soil studies And we find that all the soil organisms the beneficial ones that degrade the biomass are gone now those same bacteria Allow animals to digest the biomass in their stomachs. That's why the cows have four stomachs And when those beneficial bacteria are gone in the gut Going to have all kinds of problems Every time a good scientist an independent scientist does a piece of work Because science is dependent On public funding It doesn't take very much for the corporations to cut off the strings Every independent scientist I know Has lost their job Or their lab serolini has been told by the government Sorry, you'll have to close your lab by the end of this year. And what was his crime? He did good science The only reason They can't take away a job from me because I gave it up on my own in 1982 To start the research foundation to do independent ecological work So there's nothing they can take away from me Um, I gave it up voluntarily in any case Today We are in the strange situation where 72 percent of the food according to the food and agriculture organization Is coming from small farms Not from large industrial farms Now it's definitely easier to make a transition from the 72 percent to 100 percent By going diverse by going local by mixing every kind of innovative food tradition That all of you are engaged in and yet The industry that sees dollars in collecting royalties Even while it pushes farmers into debt And those debts push farmers to suicide the figures from 1995 for farmer suicides in india have crossed 280 thousand More than a quarter million indian farmers have committed suicide because of debt because of seed monopolies africa It's like they want to Recolonize that beautiful continent from where so much of the gift of food and the gift of humanity has been received So not only is mr. Bill Gates trying to Get the green revolution into africa through the alliance for the green revolution in africa The g8 has just joined for a new investment As if africa's land was only for grabbing as if africa's seeds were only for grabbing Sadly, even the danish prime minister has made some strange comments recently That was sent to me by the africans Saying africans are primitive. They have no culture and that is why we must take over The white man's burden through food all over again And For those of you who are interested. I can forward you the letters that the africans have drafted and also some Danish citizens have drafted to make The prime minister see A little more about how rich africa's agriculture is it and when it is practiced on ecological traditions It can solve all the problems of hunger The iastd the international assessment of agricultural science and technology for development 400 scientists worked six years reviewed every piece of literature and have said neither the green revolution No genetic engineering can address the food issue only indigenous agriculture evolved constantly To the best of knowledge and agroecology and the combination of new emerging knowledge with the wisdom of Centuries that's the only solutions two to three times more food we can grow We have a study where we've taken real farms where we work with the farmers by diverse ecological farms Two to three times more food we can produce by conserving diversity We've always been made to believe you've got to Wipe out what exists in order to feed humanity if to conserve Every species every bee every butterfly every earth firm every microorganism Both for themselves as well as for us The web of life is a food web And any system of food that destroys the web of life Is not worthy of being called a food system. It should be called truthfully By its name a war system We've got to have the guts and the courage to know the truth and to speak the truth That this is a system that is creating hunger. This is a system that has given disease to two billion people the FAO just announced That 4.3 trillion dollars is the cost of obesity Because of eating stuff that wasn't meant to be eaten. It's not food. I call it non food Just as I call non-renewable seed non seed the meaning of seed In every language, at least I know my own beager means that which renews How can seed that is not allowed to be renewed because seed It is a commodity. It is a lie because it was never created by monsanto monsanto Polluted it with bt toxin genes and roudum ready regimes and normally in environmental law a polluter must pay Not get rewarded with monopolies So in the next few years, I mean if you were to say in the next 15 years Let's take the challenge all of us from the different places we come From the chefs and the farmers and the mothers and the grandmothers And the scientists and the musicians. Let's take a commitment that we'll work to make the 72 food system That is the beneficial system a hundred percent with no place for giant corporations to control the food No place for patenting of seed. No place for toxic chemicals. No place for GMOs Now, you know the early days. I'm old enough to have been in this movement 40 years actually It was the chefs that came out first against GMOs And I think every one of you whether you do pop-up restaurants or you do fancy Restaurant, I really feel you should have in your menus on your doorstep GMO free patent free freedom food Because a food has to be free seed has to be free. How can it be patented? How can it be mutilated? How can it be poisoned? And every year now we defend food freedom and seed freedom with intensive coordinated action to become one Even while we are local and diverse in our everyday lives 2nd october the day Gandhi taught us Gandhi's birth anniversary But he taught us that as long as Unjust laws and brutal laws are obeyed so long will slavery exist and if we've got to have freedom Then we have to have the courage and the guts to say no to unjust law. That's what I practice That's how we've prevented bad laws from being put into place in india But the european commission 6th may has drafted a law to make it illegal To have your own seed for your own garden So that the only seed available will be the corporate seed the industrial seed the bad seed the non-seed the anti-seed So join in the campaign and 16th october is world food day. Let's remind the world who feeds the world Let's honor the real food heroes. Monsanto has just given itself the award For world food day for feeding the world and we need to honor the real food heroes Everyone who's bringing good food and nourishment And the beauty of our movement our revolution Is that it can be practiced in such diverse ways More important that we don't have to be miserable While practicing it we get joy. We get beauty. We get taste. We get quality and we Cultivate freedom and I would like to leave A set of gifts for noma Of course the banana but We have a big movement called forgotten foods Bringing to the center stage foods that are really The more generous foods like the millets like the amaranth and because India gave rice to the world. We used to have 200,000 rice varieties Each of these books has recipes at the end as well as the diversity and our story about seed saving And the health per acre That we don't have to poison our death cells to death. We can nourish ourselves to life. Thank you so much


Are defending back to back. They are very, very, very nice. The beauty of it is that Why we perform so well in women dancing We took the podium finish And we were very fast we were in the 6th position in the world Kama Capital performance What about men's title? We have always been struggling If you look on the last squad S serwe was there again And the performance again is still wanting s moment Kuputumia, bakit tuwa kua kubusu... Risa kama Roa nipikiwa phati kikiwa kwa kufutumia Wanstu, mtema kukuni nii hivutua Makawu T게 kuna api rillu kia kama Roa Kukuni tuwa kwa biye gkę Utajikama kaki Kukuni nii hivutu kula Kukuni tuwa nipikiwa kama Roa Kuku haza kacto yakuma Kika hibutu kufututa We were in the trials for a world cross country Even we thought he was going because he was number 2 But again he came, it was a builder for the coming race Which is in April He is going to Boston to run at Boston So it was an endurance race for him to just gauge where he is So main wise we are still far Itopian have learnt the good about us And they beat us again Last time again he took silver Again this time he took silver But we were lucky to get a bronze this time around And of course the mix really, Kenya really putting up We are good The man Munguti Munguti has delivered Do you remember 2017 The time for Mora again Munguti delivered He gave us the gold only for Mora Now to polish what was remaining When they thought they had finished at the 150 mark Mora Dos Santos And you can see the form that Dos Santos is So those are the stages development studies Because if you look at Dos Santos right now You know those people who get money for appearance fee It's so huge And I think he's enjoying his efforts Of going to where he is And it was also Not It was good to see Teopia struggling in the mix really An athlete losing a shoe It was a happy moment for us Because they took our record What else can we do is to show them that we are still there We are still the best in the one We are still the best in Africa And we will continue being because We have They are coming up The build up is so well And we are taking records We are winning every races Look at the race that just happened The one you are going to talk about Especially the Tokyo race You see how Kenyan we prevailed Against a strong field That had been brought or assembled up So Graduation wise or development wise Kenyan is always ahead of Teopia That's in Sabia During the World Cross Country Championship Let's talk about the composition Of the Olympic Marathon teams Which AK did Name this week in Eldorat Yes, the composition Let's begin with the man's team Of course we know that Elid Kipchoga is headlining That particular squad But we can talk about the rest Of the members who make up the team The funny thing about that team is Because Likewise this is my opinion At the moment Elid again The form or the shape That he used to be in Is really now oneing And I think his progression Now instead of going up The progression of Elid now Is landing It's staggering going back now To the level that the board now Is not responding About the response About how you woke up Those come into factor To play when you're in the field And the funny thing about this team Is that there are four Actually three guys in that lineup That beat Elid Kipchoga At Tokyo A week ago This Benson He gave him a double tragedy He beat him and then again He erased his course record 40 to 20 No 20 40 to 20 216 So wiping that record again And then Elid even Not being among the top leading people Because he finished actually top 10 He was the number 10 And if you see the time that he ran again 206 has never been Elid's time So you can see And then if you go back again The first rest of the run again It's a little bit shaky But look at Benson Benson is growing progressively He's a fighter And I wish to somebody That could have pushed him Because running two or two in Tokyo It means that you're in one of the best shape Because the weather patterns there They aren't favorable For running a marathon And going and breaking the course record And then pulling alone Timotekip Lagatu has been named in the team And the next podium is Vincent Getich Again he was there There was only one manyao that was not among those people Who was not So for us especially for the main team We have one of the best Surprisingly this one I can predict I don't see again Elid defending It will be a tall order for him to defend this title Given by the fresh legs That are in the team But the prediction is the medal could remain in the country The medal is ours We are rolling right now If you look We look with running it's about statistics Running never lie Because running if you tell me in 10 km You can run 27 We just put you on the road We put you on the track Then we click on the clock Then we tell you now go Show us what you have We're running in Neverland And then statistics they help us To predict what might happen One of the cremiest ever assembled team Because I'm looking at Paris So world class athletes Is among the top 5 female in the world We call such a layer of people Premier athletes Appearance for such people is from 18 million To around 50 million For her to appear in your race That's the category that this lady is in Because she has been a champion She's the defending champion She's the New York champion She has been trashing records since the time she came She never stepped onto the track She just ran one track race Then she found herself Because she was training with people So she found herself joining them And then going and that has been the One of the favorite Or the best stories ever You can sit down in Paris And be told about The second individual is Helen O'Berry Helen O'Berry is one of the cremiest Marathon runner that we have had She has a history of double Double silver medalist olympic Double world champion That is 5000 over the 5000 Distance And when you look at her progression Again even in the build up She has been running so fantastic Winning races that people never expected her to win We go to Rosemary One of the brilliant again women We have around best in Eldoret Rosemary was the defending champion Tokyo marathon actually She was beaten this time to second place By an Ethiopian Which was okay but when we look at the time And the factors that were in the race We say she is still in the shape She represented Kenya previously And she is there to fight for it again Then somebody else that is in the room We have Lokedi Sharon Sharon Lokedi is a former New York Marathon champion And then I think the list is done I think there is no one else So the creme that we have I think nobody is going to compare with what we have We will seal the podium On the winning side Kenya staying on course For a place to honestly While at the relays That's at the Olympics What are our chances of course The national towns are ongoing As we speak at Nyayo Statistically because right now The weather actually we haven't seen the best Of our people because the weather Is really affecting the performance Because the times that are being run Right now at Nyayo Because if you look at We have been having the 400 Races people running at 46 And the fastest person has been Zablon Zablon has run 40 No 45-21 Qualifying his 45 flat We look at 200 Again 90-100 meters We expected Marko Tieno actually has been the leading Actually he wasn't leading Has no Chege led because he ran In 1036 And the qualifying time People are looking at 10-02 So we don't have time right now Omanyala has run 200 meters He was the fastest In the entire field 20-21 So again that time Even himself saying I thought I had really done my best But it wasn't coming because The weather factor is affecting Because the body is too cold So we can get that To the level that is supposed to be So the weather today has really affected our team And we hope that the performance Or as they go to us going to the camp Something good might happen Of course and in Nassau Bahamas We have We can keep the hope alive Of them getting the qualifying times For the Olympics Yes, Bahamas is a qualifying event Let me tell you We have been good But with the effect of Omanyala coming into place Kenya has really We have inborn talents That have been negated People are not focusing on the short traces Because they thought we are not good at them But look now we have somebody like Kusablo Nekwam running in such a weather And then you are running good time Like 45 seconds That is good time that you can achieve If the weather was good That man could have gone below 45 So which means that if you look at him statistically Or gradually how he has been Progressing We see the progression is going Again look at him Ekwam is a KDF individual With KDF is not The training session that they go through Is not the same as what PE, prison and Kenya police go through With KDF Their first priority Is not about running First priority is your army officer So the full period of training So again that one loading And everything the mileage goes to zero So building up coming back It has taken time almost three years For Zablo Nekwam to be where he is So statistically We see ourself the team that we are having Especially for 4x100 I tell you we will be on the podium If we don't take gold We will take our bronze because we are having Omanyala mark is starting Then we are having Hezbon Mike Mokamba And then Omanyala is going to wrap up the game So I see ourself at Bahamas We will podium Yes maybe The importance of having Omanyala and Mary Moraz In this particular mix up In the relay team Moraz been on fire I think it's her season She won gold in 400 She won gold at Africa She is the champion When you look at it And then her main opponent I think Muna I think the transition of changing cultures It really affected her And that is one thing we also need to look at For Omanyala performance I am really in doubt Although I have been talking to him He is coming into my place But I am really in doubt The transition they have used At this particular moment When you build up to an olympic You need consistency Consistency is very key Especially for these short races And I don't argue About changing coach You can change coach for your progression But the timing of changing the coaching Is what really matters Because with coaching especially for short distance I have my own program On how I want you to perform Which means we are going to start from zero So that you can take what I have So you are trashing everything And you can have been trained So starting from zero Building it up to the level That you want this individual to be With the time frame that we had It is eight months to the olympics Which is the premier dealer cream For any athlete in the world Then you change the course in between To build you up even to come And fall into that system Will take you around six months minimum It must take you progression of two years For you to be where that coach is predicting So these are nichish About a performance for this year Something to watch out You watch on 20th at Kip Keino We might be surprised There's a young man coming from Botswana, Tabogo That man might surprise us It's a person to watch The world silver medalist And he's in great shape You have seen him at South Africa Grand Prix Trashing records at right left center All that about the qualifiers For the world relays That's happening in Nassau Bahamas, that's on fourth and fifth Of next month Remember just like John has mentioned Kenya is gaining Or looking for a ticket to the olympic games And in the mix some of the dependable names In Kenya's athletic history Are all putting their lives On the line for the country So that we go for the relays for the first time It's been a while before Kenya really Was at the relays at the olympics especially Thank you so much You going back to Nyaya I don't know somebody as SMS I think it's a colleague Maybe the naming of the team is happening right now But one thing I know is That what will be selected Is the best that we have at the moment And investment We have never invested into the short races I pray that now these people From the Manila effect has really changed Everything and even now We are having many short sprint coaches That are coming on board and doing everything That they can But one thing we forgot about that relay Before we wrap up the show Is the effect of the baton changing That is the major cost It affects with really training You will never predict anything Because even to the champions of champions Even in the United States The baton usually fall down And then there is a limitation of exchange Of the baton which happens You are supposed to change in a bracket If you miss outside that You are disqualified If the baton falls to pick up again with anybody else It might lead you to nowhere So it's a technical event That anyone can take That's what I'm predicting We will be on the bracket list All the best to Team Kenya And all those that will be forming That particular team to Bahamas Up next I'll be speaking Black Falcons That's Kabadi Club So the Falcons Will be engaging later This is the touch line Don't go too far


That's the theme of the Sears Radio Theatre. Tonight's story is a comedy with Andy Griffith as your host. Here's a preview. You'll have to take over for a while. I'm deeming down to Earth, to Canada. Griff, warmly, and have fun, sir. Guardian angels aren't supposed to have fun, Dora. Oh, yes, sir. This is a fact-finding mission. In fact, I'm trying to find McLeod. The Sears Radio Theatre will begin after this message from your local station. Hi, I'm Jim Bakken. You know, trying to kick a football through goalposts and searching for a used car are similar. Sometimes you make the extra points, sometimes you don't. And sometimes you find the car you want, but you know how that goes. I don't know any sure-fire way to get those extra points every time, but I know a new way to make used car shopping a cinch. It's the St. Louis Suburban newspaper's new Sharp Pencil Guide, a collection of the best used cars from the area's leading auto dealers. You'll find it in the classified section of your September 12th issue. I've been stranded on this desert island for 27 months now. And if it weren't for these Max Cell cassettes of boss, Beethoven, Brahms, and Barry Manilow, I'd simply go crazy. You see, when I was washed ashore, I met this man named Spider. He already had everything taped on Max Cell cassettes. So I just lie here, listen to great music, and watch shifts passing in the night. I don't care if I'm never rescued. All I can say is thank God for Friday. Listen to your Max Cell deal as the sound results. This is Andy Griffith, and we have a problem on our hands. Actually, it's Teddy's problem. He manages Kate McCall, who has a highly developed... Well, shall we say beautifully formed? Well, she's an exotic dancer, if you know what I mean. Hey, hey, Kate. Want to hear the hot new angle I got? Maybe you've got more angles in the top of your eyes. Is that a yes or a no? Yes, it was a no. Oh, I'm first, Teddy. I'll be in my undressing room. Sure, Kate. I can see that once a year, Kate will be my only child. Why can't my problems look like that? You can convince her, Teddy. You may take some doings, but like they say, Rome was in Britain at day. Burnt? I think it's time we extinguished ourselves from this particular situation. If you think the problems on Earth can get complicated, imagine what sort of problems might develop in another place. Sir? What on Earth is it, Doris? Sir, an unscorted soul has arrived at the gate. An unscorted soul? Well, who does it belong to? It's a Mr. Williams from Oshkosh, sir. We're in the office of Angus McCumulus, chief dispatcher for all guardian angels everywhere. Did you say, uh, Mr. Williams from Oshkosh? Yes, I did, sir. Oh, it figures. Somebody up here doesn't like me. McCloud again, sir. Who else? He's off somewhere having fun again. I'll try to locate guardian angel McCloud, sir. Thank you, Doris, and tell him to get his, you know what, up here on the double. Yes, sir. A lost soul, an exotic dancer, and a firm-loving guardian angel. And that's only the beginning of our story. Radio Theatre, a new adventure in radio listening.

You sent for me, sir? I did, McLeod. Ever see. I'd rather flutter about, if I may, sir. Well, suit yourself to get to the point, McLeod. I have a few questions regarding your behavior on Earth. Questions, sir? I've tried to conduct myself in compliance with the Guardian Angel Code at all times. Really, McLeod? And why do you still appear as a burning bush? Oh, sometimes it just happens, sir. If I'm nervous, excited, it's not that easy to control. Well, I suggest you learn to control it, McLeod. The new safety regulations are in effect, and the burning bush is definitely out. Of course, you would know all about this if you had read your code. Yes, sir. In fact, McLeod, for the time being, it might be best if you remain visible down on Earth. Oh, take away my power of invisibility, sir. Not the end of the world, McLeod. I even had to do it to Gabriel once. But, sir, my effectiveness. This could only help your effectiveness, McLeod. But everyone will be able to see me. Well, that's the idea. Uh, is there anything else, sir? Uh, yes, McLeod. How is your charge, Mr. Williams? Mr. Williams? Oh, he's not fine, sir. Do you know where Mr. Williams is at this moment? Yes, sir. He's down to sleep in Oshkosh. Are you certain, McLeod? Uh, well, I'm pretty sure he's there. He was when I left for New Orleans. And what were you doing in New Orleans, McLeod? Just having fun, sir. Guardian angels are not supposed to have fun, McLeod. While you were out boogieing in the French Quarter, Mr. Williams was passing through the pearly gate. Oh, gee, where's that monthly story, sir? Sorry, McLeod. Suppose Mr. Williams had gotten lost, or all ended up in the wrong place. That would have been a thorny situation, sir. Thorny, McLeod. You've been a thorn in my side ever since you were a sheriff. Why, if I hadn't promised your father I'd look after you. Oh, if you'd just give me another chance, sir. Quiet, McLeod. I ain't just a commuter here. What? Why, that's awful. I'll get on it right away. Sad news, sir. Of course, McLeod. McNimbus broke away and he'll be out for a month. Now I've got to get a replacement in Franco. Who's his charge? Oh, some sweet little girl named Kate McCall. And McNimbus was making such progress with her. Doris, please send in the roster of all available angels. What does she do with this sweet little girl? Well, right now she's an exotic dancer, but McNimbus has her interested in stamp collecting and watercolor. I'm sorry, sir, but there is no roster out here. Are you sure? Suffering seraphim. No available angels. What do I do now? I'm available, sir. Do I look like I've lost my mind, McLeod? This case requires tax finesse. But, sir, I do have a certain rapport with the female of the species. Oh, I suppose it's any port in the storm. McLeod, good for you, sir. I'll do my best. I'm afraid that will have to do, McLeod. Now, here's a brief report that McNimbus filed about Miss McCall. It'll give you some idea of her background, habits, et cetera. And I expect you to read... Oh, yes, sir. I'll read it on my way down. And here's a recent photo of Miss McCall. Wow. What a heavenly body. Oh, I hope I know what I'm doing. You'll find her at the No-Holes Bar in Champaign, Illinois. This is my kind of assignment. All right. Shake a wing, McLeod. Time as good as gone, sir. And keep that burning force under control. All right, sir. There goes the only guardian angel who needs a guardian angel.

I want to do something completely different. What's it about? Has it got a title? I think I'll call it Nero Burns while Rome fiddles. You mean Nero fiddles while Rome burns, don't you? You haven't seen the finished painting yet. Yeah. About this new angle I got. It's a piece of cake. If I have to pop out of one more cake, Teddy, the answer is... Oh, come on. Skin me out. I'd rather see you out. Listen, Kate, this time we even got the scientific community on our side.  It's kind of what I had in mind. What on earth are you talking about? Okay, here's the scam. This professor's invented this miracle substance, see? You can spray it on your clothes and light a match to it.  Wait a minute, Kate. You light up like a Roman candle, see? But in a few seconds it burns off and nothing's harmed. Not even a stitch of your clothing. It's not the clothing I worried about. Picture this, Kate. A dark and braless cast. A hush pours over the crowd. We sense movement out on the runway. You light yourself up and boom. The whole place goes nuts. The flaming stripper. You'll have every puddle in the country after you. Not to mention every fire marshal. Oh, look, Teddy, I wouldn't even do this for Smokey the Bear. This is legit, Kate. In fact, the professor will be in a little while. He can explain it a lot better than I can. Well, I hope so.  But I'm not ready for my career to go up in smoke. Relax, Kate. The professor's a real smart guy. He must have a hundred degrees. Please, do you have to mention degrees? Just listen to the man, Kate. That's all I ask. That's all? Well, I took the liberty of arranging a few club dates for you and the professor, kind of a shakedown cruise before we go nationwide. You're using me as a guinea pig, Teddy. How could you? It was the most difficult decision of my life, Kate. And be nice to the professor when he gets here, okay? He's a little strange. Let's see. You know, I could stand a few more flames. Yeah, that's perfect. You sure hope Teddy knows what he's doing. He's come up with some heroine scheme before. This time he wanted me to pop out of a cake at a baker's convention. He didn't tell me he wanted to bake me into it first. Kate, it's Teddy again. The door's open, Teddy. Is he here yet, the professor? Sorry. Nobody here but the reluctant human torch. Must be running late. I swear some of these guys would be late for their own funeral. Do you have to mention funeral, Teddy? Don't be so touchy, Kate. I've seen a demonstration, and this thing is 99% safe. Ninety-nine percent? Well, nobody's perfect. Now, here's a list of the clubs I got you and the professor booked into. Oh, not the crowbar in Galesburg, Teddy. And why not? The town's got a great volunteer fire department. You're not exactly kindling my fate. Everything goes right. We opened in Chicago in six weeks. Thanks, Teddy. I'll be out front if you need me, Kate. Keep a fire extinguisher handy. Oh, I wonder if I'm insured against fire damage. Oh, where is that darn insuring smokey mind? Out in there. Maybe it's in the closet. Who are you? How did you get in here? What are you doing in my dressing room? Well, why don't you answer me? Well, you haven't given me a chance. Well, here's your chance, and you'd better make it good, or I'm calling the police. The police? I haven't done anything. Breaking and entering. What if I break? I'll gladly replace it. Hey, hey.  I can't tell. I seem to have caught a cold on the way down. Something's burning in this room. Yes, it does seem a trifle warm, Oliver. Kate, Kate, you close it on fire.  Don't move. I'll catch something. Anything. That's all right. It'll burn out in a second. I'll be fine. Goodness. That was the worst case of spontaneous combustion I've ever seen. In fact, it's the only case I've ever seen. Are you all right? Yes, I'm fine, honest. If I could just sit down. Sure. Yes, that's marvelous. Thank you. Hey, your clothes aren't burned. Your hair isn't singed. You don't seem harmed in any way. No, of course not. Oh, I get it. You must be that professor. What's his name? McLeod, Michael McLeod. But I'm not exactly a professor. That's all right. Teddy gets these things confused all the time. How did you do that? Yeah, I didn't see you put any special formula on your clothes. Special formula? You know, a miracle substance? I thought you could coat a person's clothing with a flammable substance. Dear me, you do have an imagination. Oh, that darn Teddy. He gets everything confused. Well, can you teach me to catch on fire like that? Well, it's not something you can learn overnight, you know. It's taken some of us a lifetime to learn it. Well, I haven't got quite that much time. Teddy's got us all set to open in Chicago in six weeks. Oh, six weeks is hardly enough time. Can you be surprised what can happen in six weeks, Mr. McLeod? Yes, I'm sure I will be. Now, Teddy wants us to play a few of the smaller clubs to get the bugs out. Bugs? What exactly are we going to do, Miss McLeod?  That shall be his talk for perfecting your routine. And if we're going to be working together for the next six weeks, you better learn to call me Kate. It seems I'll be learning a lot of things, Kate. Me too. Now, you ready, Mr. McLeod? Michael, please. See? You're learning already, Michael. Maybe I should leave Teddy a note. No. It would serve him right after all the confusion he's caused. We can go out the back way. My car is out there. Kate, it's Teddy. Guess who's here? Kate, he's out front now. We don't want to keep the professor waiting, Kate. Kate? You who, Kate? That's funny. She's got to be around here. Her paints are still warm. You hiding in the closet, Kate? You can come out now. That girl brings me up sometimes. Hey, that sounds like Kate's car. It is her car. And who's acting the car with us? Here's Radio Theatre. We'll return after this message from your local station. The Osmobile Factory incentive program continues. That's great news for you, because there's never been a better time than now to buy a new old, especially if some Frank Bomarito Osmobile. The incentives program continues for a limited time only, so don't delay. See, Frank, while the selection is not standing, the prices are even better. Frank says you could be making a $500 mistake by not seeing Bomarito. You're going to save hundreds during the Queen's week sale, but who's now? Frank's inventory is still excellent. That means you'll be able to buy the old of your choice. You can also get a sneak preview of the exciting 1980 model right now. To stop me today while the factory incentive program continues, Frank is cleaning out a 1979 model. Remember, it could cost you $500, not to see Bomarito Osmobile. Frank Bomarito Osmobile. 1190 Manchester Road at Ellisville, also offering EMC trucks and Mazda.  You're listening to CBS Radio Mystery Dare. I'm E. G. Marshall, your host for these hour-long dramas of suspense, adventure and the macabre. Heard seven times a week on most of these stations. Here's a sample of what we mean. What is happening? You're crazy. You do. You're drunk. Yes! We've got to get out of this house. I don't know what it is, but we've got to get out. I knew there was something about that picture. Come on, Georgia! Listen here for CBS Radio Mystery Theatre seven times a week on most of these CBS radio network stations. Main attraction deserves him, and now the professor won't leave him alone. No, professor. I haven't heard from him. It's been three weeks. Would I be interested in an invisibility rate? No thanks, professor.  What a crackpot. First, he wants to barbecue my number one attraction, and now he wants to make me invisible. No wonder Kate disappeared. I give anything to have her back, not to mention the rest of it. Teddy Tyler speaking. Hiya, Tony. How are things up in Rockford? Terrific. Glad to hear it. You want to thank me? For what? The hot and the whack I sent you? Tony, have you been sampling that private stock of yours? Kate's been there. My Kate? You sold out the whole weekend?  Wait a minute, Tony. Is she there now? They left last night for Kenosha? Thanks, Tony, so long. This can't be happening. She's doing the act without the professor. But how? Who's this guy with her? Well, only one way to find out. Off for Kenosha. Johnson is my home state, and me playing the bowl weevil club in Kenosha. It's like a dream come true. You must have unusual dreams, Kate. You're on, Kate. Thanks, Bob. I haven't had this much fun since New Orleans. Any word from McLeod yet? Not yet, sir. Thank you. I can't remember when an angel has given me more trouble. I used to like this job. An extremely long-distance call for you, sir. It sounds like Guardian Angel McLeod. Well, connect us, Doris. Angus McHughmill is here. It's McLeod, sir.  I've been worried sick up here. Why haven't you reported earlier? This is the first opportunity I've had, sir. We've been very busy. We've been busy? Yes, sir. And she's making splendid progress, if I may say so. Oh, that's encouraging, McLeod. Stam collecting in watercolors. That's very funny, sir. Funny, McLeod? I wasn't joking. What are you doing down there? Just having fun, sir. McLeod, Guardian Angels aren't supposed to have fun. Are you still there, McLeod? Yes, I'm still here, sir. We seem to have a bad connection, McLeod. Where are you? I know, sir, sir. McLeod! McLeod! Suffering seraphim. It sounded like he said Canada. Doris! Yes, sir. You'll have to take over for a while. I'm beaming down to Earth, to Canada. Dress warmly and have fun, sir. Guardian Angels aren't supposed to have fun, Doris. Oh, yes, sir. This is a fact-finding mission. In fact, I'm trying to find McLeod. Yes, sir. Have McLeod called. Find out where he is. Goodbye, Doris. Good riddance. God well done, Kate. Well done. I thought I was... You were terrific. Well, in a few more weeks, you won't be needing me at all. Oh, don't say that, Michael. We can arrange something with Teddy. You can stay on as my trainer or my bodyguard. How about your Guardian Angels? Oh, sure, that too. Ah, we'd be the biggest thing to hit Chicago, says Mrs. O'Leary's cow. Move. Nothing can stop us now. All right. Nobody move. Now this is a raid. Nothing can stop us, huh? Almost nothing. Come on, you two. Let's move it. Chief Dispatcher McHugh, Mrs. Office. Doris, this is McHugh Millis. Oh, hello, sir. How are you? I got caught in a blizzard near Moose Jaw. The worst mess I've seen since we threw Lucifer and his rough necks out of paradise. Are you all right, sir? Oh, I'll live. Any word from McCloud? Not exactly, sir. What do you mean, not exactly? Well, McCloud hasn't reported in, sir. But something caught my eye in the Kenosha courier. It was my hometown paper, sir. Well, what caught your eye? Something on page 12 in the police blotter. Also arrested in the raid were exotic dancer Kate McCall and her bodyguard, Michael McCloud. They gave no hometown addresses. Hey, guard. Suffering seraphim. I'll be in Kenosha if you need me, Doris. I think they discovered you have a volatile personality. I may not be setting the world on fire, but I sure am having fun, Michael. Oh, so am I, Kate. This is the most fun I've had in ages. Guardian angels aren't supposed to have fun, McCloud. Back to business, Kate. Business? I hope you know where we're going, because I'm hopelessly lost. Sure I do. And where's that? I thought we'd make a short detour to my hometown. Oh, that's nice, Kate. What is your hometown? Oshkosh. Oshkosh? Is something the matter, Michael? I'm allergic to Oshkosh. I had a bad experience there. You've been to Oshkosh? Well, you might say I was stationed there. Small world, isn't it? Yeah, extremely. What kind of trouble did you have? I can't imagine anything bad happening there. It's such a sleepy place. Well, it had something to do with that. Sleeping. Oh, a sleep on the job. Night watchman or something. Yeah, something like that.  It won't be too painful for you, will it? Oh, no. No, I think everyone involved is long gone. Oh, good. Because I'd just like to drop in real quick. You could even meet my folks. Oh, I'd like that, Kate. And we could drop by the place where I got my star. Maybe do a show for old times' sake. You got your start in Oshkosh? Uh-huh. Larry's bar and grill. He said after he went topless, he changed it to Larry's bar and grill. Sounds like fun. Oh, sure. We'll have lots of fun, Michael. And you'll be safe. It's a quiet place. Nothing ever happens there. Nothing ever happens there. Well, you just relax. We'll be there in no time. Oh, Bo Weevil Club. The place still looks the same. Gee, it's been ages. Hey there, young fella. You're not supposed to be in here. We're closing till further notice. No kidding, Pop. You have some kind of running with the law? Yep. Hey, close it up after I take the call with her. Why'd they do that? Well, you know how she catches on fire and sorts of cook stressors? They said you didn't have enough fire exits, right? Nope. They said we needed a restaurant license. Gee, that's a shame, Pop. Is Kate still in town? Nope. She and that young fella left after they were released from jail. Any idea where they went? Well, you might play Oshkosh. That's her hometown. Oshkosh? Well, it's any port, as they say, in a storm. Chief Dispatch, I'm at your Mrs. Office. It's me, Doris. Any word from a cloud yet? Not yet, sir. What was the date on that MacLeod article, Doris? The seventh, sir. They've already left Kenosha. I'm surprised they stayed that long, sir. Well, I don't know where they could be. I'll be back up in a few minutes, Doris. One more thing, sir. Guardian Angel McNimbas has reported back for duty. He says his wing is much better and is ready to go. Oh, wonderful. Somebody up there likes me, Doris. Every MacLeod has a silver lining. McNimbas is here now, sir. What should I tell him? Don't tell him a thing and don't let him out of your sight. Yes, sir. I'm going to play a hunch, Doris, and if I'm lucky, I'll be back with MacLeod. I'm sure sorry about your folks, Kate. Oh, it's no big deal. People move all the time. Well, they could have let you know or left a forwarding address. But I move around a lot. They probably tried and you couldn't get hold of me. We were never much to see in touch. That's funny. I'm bad about keeping in touch, too. Kate, you're on X. Oh, Larry, have you met my trainer, Michael McLeod? That's just mine. Oh, are you Michael? Just fine, Larry. This is quite a place you've got here. Well, thanks. And that's what a girl you've got there. Oh, no, Larry. I've had a crush on her since high school. Hey, what ever happened to old Mr. Williams, the principal? Oh, didn't you hear? He passed away in his sleep about a month ago. Oh, that's a shame. Are you all right, Michael? Yes, yes. I'll be fine. I need some fresh air. You go ahead ahead, Kate. We don't want to keep the hometown folks waiting. He's right, Kate. Any time you're ready. Oh, there's no time like the present. I'll see you after the show, Michael. Sure, Kate. Knock him dead.  Well, I think I'll step outside for a minute. Oh, that crisp night air is good for the soul. It may be good for the soul, McLeod, but it's murder on a cold. Sir? Where are you? Right behind you, McLeod. Don't scare me like that, sir. How would you prefer to be scared, huh? Well, it sounds like you've got a cold, sir. I'm not here to discuss my health, McLeod. What are you doing here, sir? It's a small world, McLeod. I was about to ask you the same thing. I'm just doing my job, sir. It's the way you do it that bothers me, McLeod. Now, you were arrested in Kenosha. I know, sir, but I was released on my own recognizance. Well, you're the last person I trust you with, sir. Bless you, sir. Has it ever occurred to you that you might be doing more harm than good down here, McLeod? But she is having fun, sir. What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. Humans can have all the fun they like. And guardian angels aren't supposed to have any fun. Exactly, McLeod. It's too cold out here to argue now. You're coming back to headquarters with me. McNimbus is waiting in the wings to replace you. But, sir, she expects me backstage after the show. You're breaking my heart, McLeod. You may break hers, sir. Come along, McLeod. Please, sir, one more chance. Not on your life. I came to take you back, Kate. Take me back? Well, where's Michael? There's nobody here but me, Kate. Who's this Michael character? Who's Michael? Well, he's your professor friend. That's who. That's impossible, Kate. The professor turned out to be a crackpot. I'm confused, Teddy. You mean you don't know who Michael McLeod is?  Well, if he isn't a professor, how could I do what I've been doing? Beats me, Kate. Eh... You mean you can't do it by yourself? Maybe. Let me try. Not even a spark. Well, whoever he is, we've got to find him and fast. Oh, I see. With any luck, we can still open in Chicago. I'll settle for a cold shower in Oshkosh. I'll find super-values during Sears' fall-home appliance sale at most Sears retail stores.

All items available at most larger Sears retail stores. Andy Griffiths again, and here's the concluding act of where guardian angels fear to tread. I don't understand what happened to him. He just disappeared. You know, he didn't really want to go to Oshkosh. I don't blame him. He said he'd had a bad experience there before. Kate, we turned that town upside down. If he's there, he'd have to be invisible. Oh, it's all so confusing, Kate. Sure it is, Kate. Why don't you take a breather? I'll keep an eye on things. Thanks, Kate. This means a lot to me. Don't mention it. You really miss this guy, huh? I really do. Well, we'll get him back to you somehow. McLeod, could you please perform your clean-up chores with a little left noise? What's that bothering you, sir? Bothering me, McLeod.  Now keep it down to her more. Will you and be careful around that bust of you-know-who? This one, sir. That's the one. I want it polished, so be careful. Guardian angel McNimba's on the line, sir. Good. Connect us, Dora. Careful, McLeod. No, McNimba, I was talking to McLeod. How is your charge, McNimba? Well, not so good. What did McLeod do to her? Who? I don't think we'll ever be able to piece the whole story together, McNimba. All right, you do the best you can and keep me informed. Goodbye. Oh, wow! Oh, gee, I'm sorry, sir. McLeod, what am I going to do with you? I'll clean it up, sir. You'll do more than that, McLeod. You're going to glue that bust back together piece by piece. No, but there must be a million pieces. I don't care if it takes forever. Now get to work. Kate, it's Teddy. You decent? Come in, Teddy. Kate, I got some guys outside named McLeod. I thought you might want to look them over. You never know. I really don't feel up to it, Kate. I know how you feel, Kate, but these guys have come a long way. Teddy, please. Not now. Suit yourself, Kate.  You haven't touched your paints in ages. I've had other things in my mind. I haven't found a tile. Well, suppose we don't find this guy. Life goes on, you know. It may have to go on without me. Don't talk like that, Kate. We'll find this guy. My name isn't Teddy Tyler. Hey! Supposed to use a different name. That's a name we'll be having tried. You get better, Kate. I'll keep the fires burning. Thanks, Teddy.  This piece is right here. Aren't you done with that yet, McLeod? It's taking you forever. I'm almost finished. There's just a few more pieces. Uh, McLeod, is something the matter, sir? Why is this bust grinning? Wasn't it grinning before, sir? No, McLeod. You know who doesn't grin. Well, maybe he's having fun, sir. How many times do I have to tell you, McLeod, that we don't have fun out here? Guardian angel McNimbus on the line, sir. All right, connect us, please, Doris. Angus McHughmel is here. Yeah, she's lost all interest in the stamp collection, has she? And she hasn't touched her watercolors in ages? She certainly seems to be fading. What do you suggest, McNimbus? Uh-huh. Well, well, did you realize what you're saying? It's either that or else. Well, she's certainly too young for that. I'll take your proposal under consideration, McNimbus. Now, you keep an eye on her. Goodbye. I couldn't help overhearing, sir. Is Kate all right? Of course she's not, McLeod. Any time a human exhibits all the symptoms she does, it's only a matter of time before they... Don't say it, sir. You seem quite interested in this girl, McLeod. If anything happens to her, I'll never forgive myself, sir. McLeod, I'm going to tell you something. I don't want you to get upset. Me upset, sir? Well, as you know, your father and I were best friends. We go back a long way, all the way to the beginning. Well, your father fell in with the wrong crowd. Lucifer and his gang. And when we expelled the bad angels from Paradise, your father went along with it. You mean my father was a fallen angel, sir? Exactly, McLeod. Now, I agreed to look after you, but as time goes on, I realize that you aren't cut out for this line of work. You're too much like your father, McLeod. He'd like to have fun, too? Exactly. You're not upset, McLeod. No, sir. No, sir. Just the opposite. I'm uplifted. Now, I can have fun. Oh, I take it you do not wish to remain a guardian angel? Uh, if it's all the same to you, sir, I'd rather be a fun-loving human being. Well, you realize, of course, that you forfeit all benefits and privileges connected with this position. No invisibility. No Christmas party. No pension plan. And no burning bush. I don't care if I ever see another burning bush again as long as I live. Well, that may not be long, McLeod. There's no immortality. Who cares as long as I can die happy? When can you send me down, sir? Immediately, McLeod. It'll give me great pleasure. Of course, you'll have no powers and no memory of your time spent as a guardian angel. But I'll still remember Kate and she'll remember me. Well, that can be arranged. I'm ready when you are, sir. All right. Just, uh, walk through that door. Michael? Well, it's been fun, sir. The fun's just beginning, Michael. Kate, can I come in? Sure, Teddy. Feeling any better, Kate? Much better. Thanks, Teddy. Chicago call. And? I had to cancel. Oh, I'm sorry, Teddy. And so I lose some money. It's not the end of the world. No, it's not. We all lose something. No time. You'll come up with a new angle, Teddy. Hey, I'm supposed to be cheering you up. I think it's working. I feel much better. That's my girl. I'm closing up now. You can stay if you like. I think I will. I may even do some painting. Terrific. I just thought I'd check up on you. Oh, thanks, Teddy. You've been an angel. Not me, Kate. You'll know when it gets here. Night. Good night, Teddy. Maybe I put my brushes. Oh, so here's that dinosaur in policy. Mommy, I'm just looking for them. Isn't that the truth? Who said that? Michael! Where did you come from? I don't really know, Kate, but I'm glad I'm here. Oh, so am I. But what happened to you? All I know is that one minute I'm in Oshkosh, and the next minute I'm here holding you. Oh, don't you remember anything? I think, Kate. Not even teaching me to set myself on fire? Why would I do something like that? I don't really know. But you shouldn't run away from me like that. Ever. I don't even remember running, Kate. You had me worried. I didn't think you were ever coming back. Somehow I made it. And if you still want me to set you on fire, I'll help you any way I can, Kate. Then you can start by warming my heart. You mean like this? Exactly, Michael. That was fun. When I'm with you, Kate, I'm in heaven. Oh, Michael, you're an angel. Isn't that the truth? We cannot ruffle up a window with tradition from Sears' Open Heart Collection.

President Carter is due to arrive in Washington in about 19 minutes, following a Middle Eastern peace mission, which at first was characterized by great hope, then great disappointment, and finally a bit of promise. On the final day of Mr. Carter's trip, Israeli Prime Minister Begin and Egypt's President Sadat finally agreed to U.S. compromise proposals, designed to bridge the final negotiating gap and set the stage for a Middle Eastern peace treaty. The Israeli cabinet will debate the draft treaty, then it will be given to the full Israeli parliament for approval. Begin said he'll resign if the accord is rejected.

Biodiesel has gained popularity due to its environmental benefits and availability from renewable resources. Studies have shown that biodiesel is a better fuel than fossil-derived diesel in terms of engine performance, emissions reduction, lubricity and environmental benefits. The increasing demand for commercial production methods calls for the development of efficient process technologies. This paper explores the use of ultrasound in optimizing the transesterification conversion of waste cooking oil to biodiesel. The results show that the conversion efficiency using ultrasound is higher than with mechanical stirring. The optimal variables for transesterification via ultrasound are a 6-to-1 methanol-slash-oil ratio, a reaction temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, a reaction time of 30 minutes, and a catalyst concentration of 0.75% KOH, WT-slash-WT.

This is a proficiency airborne operation that we're doing today with our NATO partners in L.A.s. This training is important for a couple of reasons. It really gives us a chance to hone our craft as paratroopers and to really build our technical expertise in what we're expected to do. It's important for a couple of reasons. Really it builds trust in each other and it gives us an opportunity to have a common purpose to achieve together as a collective unit. The benefit really comes down to, I think it boils down to one thing and that really is relationships. Being able to establish those connections early and often and really build that relationship and capacity is important. It feels reassuring. It's reassuring to know that other allies and partners have the same drive and determination that you do to really achieve a common purpose together and to do hard things together. So with our NATO allies specifically it builds trust in each other and also gives us an opportunity to achieve a common purpose in a kind of a lower scale. And there's also value in understanding the technical nuances to other partners airborne operations techniques and procedures. I think it's really important to work together to get more interoperability in working together because you see the word can change any day and it goes sometimes faster than we all thought before. So we have to train together to be ready if we have to stand together. We came here together today with the 173rd guys and also the Italians to jump out of aircraft. For airborne troops it's always fun. The weather is absolutely nice here in Italy and so we are really excited to jump out of the aircraft with you guys together. You know in the airborne troops wherever you come from and it doesn't matter what's your religion, what's your rank, where you're from, we all jump out together over aircraft and that's more than a partnership, it's a brotherhood, that's airborne life.
